7 OVERRUNBY BRIME More Murderous Than Lon- don, More Drunken Than Paris, Mr. Tinkham Says. The National Capital “iy 2.000 per cent more murderous than Londor and 300 per cent more drunken than Paris” according to Representative tieorge Holden Tinkham of Massa- | chusetts. He bases this conclusion | on official figures tabulated by lml metropolitan nolice department and submitted to Congres: to justify the ¢stimates for appropriations nec sary to enable the Capital police "’lfufi cope with the alarming situation. « The sensational increase in r’ n this report to the sub- committee of thne Ilouse appropria- tions committee draiting the District] | of Columbia appropriation bill, of which Representative Tinkham is « | member, is due yrincipally, he ar-| Zues, to breaki down of the| moral fiber of soctety. | Ausigns Three Causes. | Representative Tinkham i as the thres principal nis: | Assumption of political ive domination by certain church or ganizations.

Among the formost should be plac- »d ‘the abdiction of certain sects of the Christian Church from their spiritual direction and leadership, and their assumption of political and leg- islative domination. This is particu- larly evidenced in the District of Co- | lumbla by the erection of expensive buildings around the Capitol for the. avowed purpose of influencing legis- | lative action, and by the maintenanco - of profesional legislative agents, As respects for the church and its teach- jngs decline, so must its authority over the hearts and consciences or! men diminish. jand now {naval operatio WAL be placed on the retired list on forgery, 160 per | property, Congresses which them- selves even will not obey the manda- tory constitutional obligations placed upon them, and so feeble in inteliect s to believe that virtue can be pro- | duced by law and statute and so cow- ly as to surrénder their power to legislate to every organized minority h money and power.
