LOUIS ‘CHECKS UP Jn order to get the facts regarding crime and eieicpunishment, a ‘crime survey” was recently ‘made in St. Louis, ag a part of a state-wide effort fu, geeure authentic information concerning condi- tions. .The findings, were bad enough. The record in St. Louis for a year showed: 149 homicides, with only 25 punishments; 4,776 burg- laries and robberies, with only 192 punishments. “© th other ‘words,'brily ‘ohe murderer out of six received any punistiment ‘whatever, while but one burglar or robber out of 24 suffered any penalty. There is no reason to believe that the situa- “Pisa is worse in Si. Louis than in many other cities, dense it must_be evident to all that our army of officers and court officials are making a showing in dealing with these serious to say nothing of the laxity with respect to offensds. * rs — “COSTLY SNOOPING it is o get a resolution through Con- gress: ol | ho investigation of this or that Andestry, or condition, but the net result, so far as +4the taxpayer is concerned, is generally zero. * A ease in point is the inquiry, started in 1913, regarding the valuation of railroad properties, with ""g Wiéw to determining whether they are over- Bapifalized.

Andrus in an announcement made recently on his 85th’ birthday. Mr. Andrus is head of a great chemical com- pany at Yonkers and is estimated to be worth about $100,000,000, of which ‘he proposes to give 45 per cent for the endowment of the institution, to be established after his death. For many years Mr. Andrus has been the donor of large gifts for worthy. purposes. He started in life poor and relates that he made hisfirst dollar selling fish to Horace Greely, 75 years ago. Now that he is nearing the end of his career his thoughts have turned to those who may find it difficult to get a start without:a helping hand. The institution which his millions are to es- tablish will a splendid monument to his useful life and thoughtfulness for thousands of chil-’ dren yet unborn.
