SOCIOLOGICAL
Factory Workers, Vacation.

One Of the most interesting vacation
experiments 81 the past season. as de-
scribed by Daniel V. Casey In the Oc-
tober World Today. was the co-opera-

their wives on the beach near Port HUI

ing round trip OF 500 miles and re-
quirlnc arrangements for housing. feed

about this camp were that worklngmen

New York City Nominations.
The various party organizations have
made their nominations for New York
city officers during the past week, and
District Attorney Jerome, with 1000
petitions, was duly entered as an indie
pendent contestant. The effort for
anti-Tammany fusion having fallen

Itself with indorsing Jerome, and the

Why Roosevelt Won't Run.
In conversation with Senator Sim

Roosevelt replied to the suggestion that
the people would want him to serve
another term by saying that he would
not allow himself to become a candi-
date In 1908 and that his mind had
not changed in regard to this matter.
He explained further that the con
sciousness OF this unalterable resolu-
ton was the complement of his free
dom from pledges when he entered on
the Office. 1t made him free to act as
be thought was right, gave him great
satisfaction and enabled him 10 enjoy
his official life better than he could II
he had been striving for some political
ambition.

Washington. d. c., June Score
tary Metcalf of the Department of
Commerce and Labor. today present
ed to the President the report of the
investigation into the condition of the
stea mboat inspection service recently
made by officers of the navy.
In presenting the report to the Pres
ident the secretary says that the EVIL
dence before him from all sources in
dictates clearly that there has been a
great increase in the past year in the
efficiency of the steamboat inspection
service, due in large part to the WORK
of the commission that investigated
the disaster to the General Slocum.
and to the reinspection made subse-
Guent thereto by the officers of the
navy. He adds:
Greatly increased activity and care
on the part of the steamboat inSpec-
tors have been observed. together with
increased attention on the part of the
masters and owners of ships to the
subject of proper equipment and dis
cipline.'
In the third district. embracing Nor
folk, Baltimore Charleston. Savannah
and jacksonville the report Says that
while the rc-inspections disclosed de-
fects they were chargeable. not to the
inspectors but rather To the custom
and regulations under which they
worked. The conditions at Norfolk
were good: at Baltimore, satisfactory;
at Charleston. satisfactory; at Savan
nah the conditions. especially the fire
fighting facilities. were not very sat

centage of defects to number of steam.

TAFT ON TRIAL By JURY.
lie Does Not Think Its Results Here
Should Lead Us to Demand 1t
i'm the Philippines.
CIV the Associated Press.)

New Haven, Conn, June 26.-Wil-
liam n. Taft Secretary of War. de-
Ivered the address to tn Yale law
school graduating class today on The
Administration of Criminal Law" De-
Tending the policy of refusing trial by
jury to the Filipinos. Mr.. Taft said
that trial by jury had come to be re-
garded as a fetish to such an extent
that State legislatures have exalted
the power of the jury and diminished
the power of the court The result
of this, Mr.. Taft pointed out. was a
great increase in crimes of the felony
class. The administration of criminal
law i'm the States, Mr.. Taft declared to
be n disgrace to our civilization. He
mardly thought it encouraged us to
think it wise to introduce system
of jury trials in the Philippines. MIR.
Taft suggested as remedies the re-
striction of the right of appeal and
giving to judges the power to COM
ment on the evidence and express their
opinion to the jury on the fact. He
concluded:
Our country is Disguised by the
number of lynchings that occur, both
i'm the North and i'm the South. and
excuses are sought for the horrid and
fiendish cruelties pcrpetrated by mobs
I'm such cases in some other cause
than the delays of justice. Instances
are cited of where the mob has exc
cuted men whom they had every rea-
son to believe were to be justly pun
ished under the law. to show that an
improvement in the criminal proce-
dure would not prevent lynchings.
But every man of us who have studied
the subject at all knows that if men
who commit crime were promptly ar
rested and convicted there would be
no mob for the purpose of lynching
Nothing but radical improvement in
our administration of criminal law
viii nrevent the growth i'm the number
Of lynchings i'm the United States that
bring the blush of shame to every
lover of his country

IN RED MYSTERY
Father and Daughter are
Found Murdered.
No Clue Has Been Found Pointing te
the Perpetrator OF the Crime.
Lynching May Follow
Arrest.
(By the Associated Press.)

Miami. Fla, June 26.-Charles E.
Davis and his daughter, Elsie, were
found dead in their home today. They
had been murdered probably Sunday
night. Both had been shot. One
shot killed Mr.. Davis while his daugh-
ter was shot twice.
The murder was discovered by a
Mr.. Burbank. who went to see Mr..
Davis early Saturday morning. He
found the back part of the house
open, but he could not find any one at
home. Again Sunday afternoon and
Monday morning he went with the
same result. On the last visit his
suspicious were aroused and he went
to the home of one of the sons of Mr..
Davis. The two returning to the
Davis house entered it and going up
stairs found the two bodies.
No clew has been found to point to
any one as the perpetrator of the
deed. The community is intensely ex-
cited and lynching will probably fol-
low an arrest. Miss Davis was one
of the most loved young women in the
community and Mr.. Davis was popu-
lar and prominent business man.
