Tribune's compilation of criminal sta tlstlcs this year Is the great increase which it shows In murders committed by highwaymen. While the total t deaths by violence increased from 8,481 in 1904 to 9,212 in 1905, or by less than one-tenth, the murders ol this class went tip from 464 to 68J, which is nn increase of practically one-fourth. It Is a phenomenon which, on its face, is rather hard account for. Other things -being equal, crimes: of this sort ou'ght, seemingly, to de crease with every increase of popu lation. At the same time, as has been shown by enumeration this year, the net Increase of population has been accompanied In many of our States by an actunl loss of population ovei large tracts of country. Thus the area of sparse population, and there fore of favorable opportunities for the "road agent," Is growing larger. That this alone would -account for such an increase as the statistics show U ' hardly potmlulo. however, especially since a large portion of the hold-ups undoubtedly occur in the outlylna parts of cities. Some sociologist should find a congenial task in work Ine out tho underlying causes. The women of the stage are cretin ed with more than ordinary charm, says the New York Mall.
