HUMAN LIFE MENACED
RISKS OF RESIDENCE IN NEW YORK CONTRADICTORY REPORTS (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) Reed. 9.5 a.m. NEW YORK, Monday. Mr. Grover Whalen, Commissioner of the New York Police, while extolling Mr. James J. Walker’s Mayoral regime, declared that New York was the world's safest city, but curiously enough an economic survey has just been issued which states that human life in the metropolis is now menaced to a greater degree than ever before. There are, it says, 16 times as many murders committed in New York as there are in London, and only one murderer in every 160 is executed.
