a big dinner ready and waiting TO be

The plan of gathering the boys about
the festive board differs slightly from
that described In the Bible as having
been used by the host whose guests did
not appear at the appointed hour. Such
methods would hardly suit in Washing

sufficient room to accommodate all that
might be found in the highways and by
ways on such an occasion. However, TO
insure the attendance of every boy who
is a member OF that unique fraternity
so typical of this country. Mr.. Masters
has issued numbered tickets, each one
bearing his signature. These tickets
have been distributed to the newsboys
through the circulation departments of

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
FOR EXTREME CASES
Eminent Crminologist Says Sentiment of Country Is
Against 1t and Soon Life Will Be Taken Only
for Deliberate, Premeditated Murder

A well-known member of the local
bar who has made a close study of Grim
inoIogy, and in connection with his in
Yestigation of the subject has watched
the sentiment OF the country, expresses
;he opinion that the tendency IS toward
the aboIishment OF capital punishment.
except for the crime of deliberate. pre-
meditated murder.
The great trouble. he says. is for leg
IsIators to differentiate between the diff
ferent grades of homicide, so as to
clearly define murder pure and simple.
deliberate and premeditated. from muir
der in a lesser degree, and manslaugh-
ter. In determining the degree of homi-
eide, of all the circumstances and con
ditions under which the crime may be
committed, no one thing is taken into
such serious consideration as what is
termed the cooling time
AS to the duration OF cooling time
there is a wide difference Of opinion.
not alone among lawyers. but also among
laymen. 1t is this cooling time which
apparently draws the line Of demarca-
tion between murder in the second de-
gree and manslaughter, but the exact
legal duration of il has never been de-
termined once and for all.
Merited Death.
To illustrate. the lawyer referred TO
mentioned a local case as an example os
what he considered murder pure and
simple, deliberate and premeditated. He
referred to the case of Benjamin Shell.
who for fear a ten-year-old girl
would tell on him. walked TO her home
early one Sunday morning and while
she was asleep in bed cut her throat
with a razor Smell was convicted and
hanged in the District jail. In such a
case. the lawyer c0ntended, there can
be no doubt as to the degree of the
crime; he says such an act is murder
pure and simple, deliberate and pre-
med:ated.
There are. however. many homicides
committed under entirely different cir
cumstances- In many the provocaticl
may have turned up only a moment or
two before the act is committed In
others it may be OF long standing and
have ranked in the actors mind and
heart for days, or months. or even years
without the supposed aggrieved person
having an opportunity 10 avenge either
his real or imaginary wrong.
Difficult Distinction.
1t is in instances of this kind III which
the cooling time plays such a prom
inent part in the determining Of the de-
gree of the crime committed. II viii
rot be until what the exact duration Of
:his particular period Of time is deter
mined, the lawyer said, that the differ
ence between murder in the second de-
gree and mansIaughter can be legally
defined so that the layman can under
stand It,
There mas been a worldwide belief
that as the sway of Christianity spread
throughout the different countries that
homicide would grow less and less IN
! this country. however, this is not true
| If the records are correct.
Some years ago the police records
