Ob I vlously there Is no very close relation I between the, number of officers and I the number of criminals. I For two years tho crime wave In I Chicago has been appalling In 1919 I there was a murder committed every I day of the year, and tn 192u th bur glarles and murders exceeded the crime record of the western part of the country.
