FEDERAL CRIMINAL
CODE TO De AMENDED
Death Will Soon Be the Penalty
for Assaulting the
President.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The alarming de-
ficiency in the Federal statutes regarding
assaults on the President of the United
states. as developed by the recent assassi-
nation of President Mckinley, will result
in a score or more Of bills being introduced
in the Fifty-seventh Congress to correct
this anomalous condition. A measure
which may be regarded as the administra-
tons idea has been framed by the Commits
sion for Codifying the Federal Statutes.
This commission consists of Alexander c.
Botkin. David x. Watson and William ID.
Bynum. II has been at work for several
years. has finished a criminal code and is
naw at work on the civil statutes This
task will require several years more for ats
completion.
TIE bill which the commission has drafted
Is intended as n paragraph of the Federal
Criminal Code. which has now been COM
pieted and submitted in the form OF re-
port to the Department Of Justice The
new secti N will make various crimes pun
ishable when committed in forts or arsenals
owned by the Government: on sites of post
Offices. Custom Houses and other Federal
buildings and within the shore line on the
Great Lakes and aboard American vessels

dent and a capital crime to assault his
person. In both instances the attack must
be on account Of the doing or failure to do
something connected with his duties as
President Much difficulty was experienced
In dealing with the subject of a law to
protect the President. In order To bring
the offense within the constitutional pale
the crime must be more than a crime
against the person.
In the eyes OF the law at present the
President is not more sacred against as
sault than the humblSst citizen More
over. the Constitution gives the States
power to punish crimes within their juris-
diction, and I'm spite of any law which Con-
diction to punish assaults upon the Presi-
the crime is in no way connected with his
official functions, the Federal Government
cannot step in between the State and the
accused.
The purpose OF the new law is to define as
crimes assaults which are directed against
the Office of the Chief Executive as dis
tinSuished from the occupant of the office:
of such character have been all the assas-
sinations of our Presidents.
In no case was there any snimosity
