ON PAROLE LAW
Chief Murphy's Interesting
Letterto National Prison
Association Con-
gress.

gress.
on Association, which convened in annu-
al session at Quincy, Illinois, yesterday
an interesting letter was read from Chief
of Police Murphy, of this city. The Chief
was appointed by Governor Murphy to
represent the state in the Congresswhich
is composed Of large number of men
and women throughout the nation inter-
ested in criminology, prison reform, hui
name treatment of prisoners and, partic-
ularly, in the reformation Of criminals
whenever possible and who are also re-
sponsible for the passage Of parole laws
throughout the country.
While humane to the last degree Chief
,Murphy's thirty odd years of experience
in the police business has not tended to
make him lenient toward the class of
hardened criminals.
The Association which began its ma
tiona1 session in Illinois yesterday was
formed about eighteen years ago and
through its influence prison reform has
been secured throughout the world. The
late Queen Victoria of England and the
!
Empress of Russia have played leading
part in the work of the association,
which has brought about reforms even
| in the Russians located in the far-of
Siberian mines. Everybody of intelli-
gence knows what has been accomplished
in the matter of prison reform in this
country.
Chief Murphy became member Of the
association when it was first organized.
He attended the first meetings. Pressure
of business prevented the Chief from at
tending yesterdays national session of
the Congress. The Rev. iAlois M. Fish,
moral Instructor of Catholics in the New
Jersey State prison, and who is chairman
of the Committee Of Discharged Prisoners
of the National Association is an enthus-
! last on theJsubject of prison reform. He
| ( is a great believer in the workings of the
! parole laws, He wrote Chief Murphy
not to forget the opportunity to meet the
tshining lights of the penological, police
and philanthropic world. The Chief
wrote him letter, which he read at yes
terday's session of the Congress in which
| he said in part
Among other things, / believe in the
| humane treatment of convicts in prison,
but they should never be permitted to for
I get that the criminal classes were the
| enemy of society, law and all that's
| good in this world. An habitual Grimm
| ais proper place is in prison. Great good
has been accomplished by the parole laws
in the interest of first offenders, resulting
| in their release. after a short term Of i'm
! prisonment, and in many instances par
oled on their honor and permitted to thus
go free. ! believe much good has been
| thus accomplished through this process.
The parole law, however, has been mis-
applied in many cases. Hardened Grim
inals have been released after short
| period Of their sentences and allowed to
prey again on the community. Ny exper-
1 fence as policeman convinces me that
no convict should be paroled until the
| police authorities of the section in which
his crime was committed have been CON
suited. By this means those in authority
! to parole weuld be in a position to act
more intelligently."

ONLY PENS|ONER
Of WAR Of 1917

ALVA, n. Y, April l9,-Hiram S.
Cronk, the only surviving pensioner OF the
war of 1872 celebrated his l04th birthday
at his home here today. For a man OF
his age he displays wonderful vitality. His
daughter, with whom he makes his home,
is of the opinion that her father is get
ting new teeth and members of the family
say that a few years ago new hair, as soft
and fine as baby's, made its appearance
on his head, in places where the old hair
had fallen away.
Cronk was born in Frankfort, n. Y.
and has spent practically his entire life
within the borders of this state. When
about ID years of age he enlisted in the
United States army. The war of 1872 was
then nearing its close. According to
record in the possession of his relatives,
Cronk entered the United States military
service at Western, n. Y, on August 2,
1914, as a private in Captain Edmund
Fuller's company, the 18th regiment, in
fantry. New York militia, Lieutenant Col
onel Erastus Cleveland commanding. lie
served in the defense of Sackett's Harbor,
on Lake Ontario, until honorably dis
charged by reason of the expiration of
his enlistment, November is, 1914.

PARTY LEADERS START BOOM
FOR FOSTER AND CUSHMAN

The Foster headquarters, which were
formally opened yesterday in the Donnelly
hotel, were the scene of an informal
gathering of Republicans last evening to
create sentiment in favor of Senator 4. G..

There were about IS present, and it was

they may continue the work they are do

medical authority, and consult doctor as
to whether or not the marriage should take
place. And in such cases the doctor con-
suited is often at a loss to know whether
the consummation of the marriage or its
breaking off would involve the greater risk.
The young couple come to him too late,
on the eve of their marriage with their
affections deeply engaged; they are for the
most part highly strung, sensitive beings,
and he has to consider whether the inn
mediate and inevitable danger to their
mental equilibrium which rupture would
cause does not more than counterbalance
the remote and predetermined danger OF
mental or bodily failure in their offspring
which the combination of their hereditary
predispositions would in the event of then
marriage involve.

ing held last night in the office of Frank
NJ. Lamborn it was though best by those
present that the position Of building in
spector be given to another, and that Mr..
Snyder be appointed superintendent OF
streets, which position he held under the
Fawcett administration
Mayor Wright did not include the name
of Mr.. Snyder in the list Of appointees
that he sent to the council this morning,
and it is believed by number Of the men
at the city hall that he will take Mr., Sny-
der's case up this afternoon and appoint
him superintendent of streets.
The reason for this Is that there are
number Of the faithful who are clamor-
ing for a chance to succeed o. l.. Tuell
while nobody else wants to be street IN
spector.

DOCTORS DANGERS
IN THE ARMY

From interesting study made by an
Italian medical journal as to the dangers
incident to army surgeons during the war,
it appears that, in the Russian army at
least, the doctor runs quite as much danger
as the combatant. During the Crimean
war 1874 Russian surgeons persisted, out of
total of 1889 employed. During the
Russo-Turkish war 53l Russian surgeons
died in the hospitals and lazarettos con-
nected with the army. A campaign like
that against Japan. in pestilential regions
of Asia, can hardly fail to greatly increase
the doctors danger.

THE S MARK

Authorities are not agreed as to the
derivation of the sign s to represent dol
lars.
Some say that it comes from the letters
L. S., which after the adoption Of the
constitution were used on the federal cur,
rency and afterwards in the hurry OF
writing were run into one another, the U
being made first and the S over it.
Others say it is derived from the con-
traction of the Spanish word pesos, dollars;
others, from the Spanish fuertes, hard
to distinguish silver from paper money.
The more plausible explanation is that
it is modification of the figure 8 and de-
noted piece of reals, or, as the dollar
was formerly called, ''piece of s." It
was then designated by the figures S-s.
