As a matter of fact, Shipley has argued that the ratio of murders
in various cities of the United States is directly related to the
prevalence of various alien races, the Mexicans being the chief
homicidal offenders (121 murders per 100,000 of the population),
followed by the Chinese (65) and the Italians (50.2) (20).
The statistics for suicide in Table VI are mostly for cities with low
smoke density. It is observable, however, that the suicide rates are
low in the two worst smoke-offending cities tabulated, viz., St. Louis
and Pueblo.
