COMMITTEE ON SOCIAL EVIL

Twenty. Three People at Last Nights Meeting.
Some Advocate Suppression and
Others Regulation.

and dig up several hundred dollars
more a year than have his children ed
ucated upon blood money. DIR. Hope
also touched upon the disease phase
OF the evil and made some startling
statements regarding the diseases
which are scattered through the evil,
claiming that there was no virtue in
inspection or cure, these diseases be-
ing incurable.
DR.. Harrison also made some start
ling statements on the disease phase
of the evil.
Attorney A. b. McMillen, president
of an organization whose purpose il
is to bring about a suppression of the
evil in albuquerque, made a very
good talk upon the subject, advo-
eating rather extreme measures of
suppression. He announced that he
believed that 1t could be handled in
any manner the council saw fit to
handle il, and said that the council
could not escape its duty.
Captain Wootten told of his expert
ence with the evil as the chief of po-
lice of Ell Paso. 1t was evident to him
through experience that the evil could
not be totally suppressed and that
the women engaging in il could not
be confined to a reservation where
they could not make money. He
found it SO in FL Paso. An effort made
there TO confine them to a reservation
in an out-of-the-w way part of the city
| had the effect Of scattering them in
the most respectable residence parts
of the city. After three months ex-
| perience with the reservation scheme,
the evil was returned to its former
haunts in a very centrally located part
of El Paso, where IL was suppressed
to a moderate degree.
After being lectured on It's duty and
hearing a photographic sketch OF the
evil as it existed and is handled from
New York to San Francisco, with au-
thorities on it in France thrown in
the committee adjourned the meet
ing, very sleepy, but little wiser as to
whae to do with the evil.

HUSBANDS BODY IS
DlSOWNED BY WIFE

+. l.. Barnard, who was buried in
the pauper's field this morning was
one of life's u~nfortunates who passed
10 the great beyond without a known
friend in the whole world. Ever his
wife and sporting friends failed to
show enough interest in deceased TO
claim his remains and the elegram
which was sent collect to Mrs. Bar
nard, conveying the news of her hus-
bands demise, was refused and sent
back to this city for collection,
Il. l.. Barnard was a professional
base ball player. He played center
field for the nine at Kankakee, Ill.,
and was both clever on the bases and
with the bat, while his playing in the
center garden was at times the tax
of the Illinois town.
Barnard became afflicted with con-
sumption and at an advanced stage
OF the disease was sen To this city
with a view of improving his health.
II was too late, however, for the dry
and pure air of Albuquerque TO aid
Barnard, and penniless, he died.
Undertaken Borders wired the mans
wife at the home In Paxton, H., but
she declined TO even pay for the tele-
gram, but did wire to have the body
inferred here, which was done. De-
ceased was about twenty seven years
of age.

The committee from the city u
ell appointed to investigate the social
evil. with a view to finding ways and
means of regulating or s~uppressing 1t,
were greeted at the city hall last
night by exactly twenty-three people,
and some few of them slept as the all
important subject was being discussed
in it's every phase. Though this dls-
cussion continued for an hour and a
half. il is doubtful If the committe is
now any more out of the dark as to
what to do than they we're a week ago
last Monday night, when they lwere
first assigned the duty of handling it.
The speakers of the evening were
w. P. Metcalf, E. B.. Cristy, A. b. Nc
Millen. w. II. McMillion, II. w. Bull
lard. DR.. w. G. Hope, Captain r. l..
Wootten and DR.. G. w. Harrison, chair
man of the committee.
The views of the different speakers
varied from the total suppression OF
the evil to a liberal regulation, some
of them gbing to the extreme in both
directions. Then some were in favor
of regulating II to a conservative de-
gree. W. p. Metcalf spoke at length
on the subject from a standpoint OF
morality, pointing out that the city
council were placing the burden Of
shame upon every citizen of Albuquer-
que, by accepting license and making
profit from the sale of the body of
the inmates of the houses of the dis
trict. Mr.. Metcalf spoke of the dis
eases which permeate from these
houses of i'll repute.
DR.. Hope spoke on the profit taking
part of the evil, under the impression
that the money derived from this
source went into the school. which is
an erroneous impression existing
with a large part of the population
of the city. The money derived from
this source goes into the general fund
of the city. Laboring under the i'm
preston that the money went into the
school fund, DR.. Hope said that he
would rather go down into his pocket

This is a dreary Thanksgiving day
for Claude Doane, the self-confessed
murderer of Walter Lyons, the school
teacher whose body was found mould
ing in a canyon in Mckinley county
last June. For, today at the hour when
most God loving people of this bountl-
full country were sitting down 10
steaming dinners of turkey and cram
berry sauce, full of gratitude and hap
piness, Doane passed through the
doors of the penitentiary at Santa Fe,
probably never to return to the put
side world.
Confessed on Monday, sentenced on
Wednesday. Claude Doane today be-
gan serving the ninety years sentence
imposed upon him by Judge Abbott
yesterday afternoon.
Sheriff Harry Coddington, who
brought Doane to the city yesterday
from Gallup, so that Judge Abbott
might receive his plea of guilty of
murder in the second degree, accom-
panied him 10 the p%enitentiary this
morning. Doane wore heavy shackles
which Sheriff Coddington took the
precaution to fasten to his own per-
son. The murderer seemed in very
good spirits. If it had not been that
he wore irons. he would not have
been taken for a man who was about
to begin a life sentence. Doane is
now very little over thirty years of
age. With forty-fve years added to
his life, which would be the best re-
duction he could expect for good be-
havior, would make him more than
the proverbial three score and ten.
He spoke even glibly when ad-
dressed. I'm a victim of circum-
stances he said. I've been jobbed.'
He seemed eager to tell his troubles,
but the train was moving and the re-
porter could not continue the inter-
view, which would have been most
interesting from a man who has so
narrowly escaped the hangman's
moose.

DAMON AND
PYTHlAS LAST NIGHT
Creditably Rendered by a
Company Of Local Actors
and Actresses.
ACTED LIKE PROFESSIONALS

Before a large and very appre-
ciative audience at the Elks' opera
house last evening. Damon and
Pythias' was produced by Alhuquer-
que talent under the auspices of Min
eral lodge No. 4, Knights of Pythias.
The production of Damon and
Pythias" is perhaps one of the heav-
lest dramas in the group of theatrical
hits TO be played nowadays. and
which so wildly portrays romantic
and stirring events in the early his
tory of the world. To say that the
cast which interpreted 1t last even
ing did it justice, would in deed be
putting 1t mildly. Every part was as
sumed with an ease and grace which
caused many TO wonder at intervals
whether the company was not really
a professional one, and vociferOus APP
plause greeted the climaXes.
In the title roles. John II. Crum. as
Damon, and NJ. p. Kelly, as Pythias,
did superbly. Both gentlemen dem
onstrated much elocutionary ability,
and their articulation. usually so ais
appointing in home talent affairs, was
excellent to say the least.
The work of J. r. Scott. in the por-
trayal OF DiOnySiuS was likewise eX-
ceedingly clever. and as Procles and
Philistius, respectively, Joseph Nc
Cusker and l.. II. Chamberlin, ac-
quilted themselves very satisfactorily.
Coral f. Clyce, as Calanthe, Alice j.
Crum and Ethel A. Hickey, in the roles
of Hermion and ARIA, together with
Priscilla Newcomer. who played the
part of the child to Damon, were
warmly applauded for their meri'
torious work before the foot lights.
SSumming up the performance gen
orally. It must be said that the en-
tire company performed very credit
ably, not a hitch occurring in the five
difficult acts. The costuming was
perfect in every detail and lent an ad.
ditional charm to the drama. The nu.
merous accessories and mechanical eff
fects were also produced in a reals
tic manner Mr.. John II. Crum, who
so capably directed the performance
is to be complimented for the success
which attended his efforts. The cast
of characters follows:

preparations are now being made for
beginning work on the connecting

1651-1654, English ships are said to
have taken LOO prizes, worth S3O,OOO,-
0O0 In 1857 the Spaniards loaded Brit
ish sailors with treasure. They seized
two of the Spanish galleons so richly
laden with gold and jewels that it took
thirty-eight wagons to carry the treas
ure from Portsmouth to London. In
1761 came the historic capture of the
Hermione, the Spanish treasureship
from Lima. The admiral and captains
received as their share S325,OOO apiece,
the neutenants S65,OOO, warrant off,
GERS about $4,000, petty officers near
ly $4,000, and even the common sea-
men $500 each. On arriving at Ports
mouth the seamen bought up all the
watches in the place and fried them
over the galley fire.

immigration, according to students
Of the subject, follows the parallels
Of latitude-that is, people who move
to new country seek to settle in a
climate as near as possible to that of
their old home. This is held to ac-
count in a measure for the refusal of
European immigrants to settle in our
Southern States. The theory does not
work out, however. If it did we should
see the Italians, for instance. flocking
to the South and to California, where
as in truth they gather in the large
cities Of the North. The truth prob
ably is that the negro question has
most to do with the slackness Of immi-
grafton into the South. The newcom-
ers have no race prejudices, but they
fear low-priced competition.

AS well as we can judge 1t Is
about once in every six months that it
is proposed in this country to put to
death by painless methods people who
are hopelessly ill and who are In terri
bic agony. The proposal generally
emanates from the medical faculty,
but its latest appearance is in the con-
vention of the American Humane AS
sociation, where its advocates were
women, and the physicians opposed it.
One of the speakers having by way Of
illustrati ton described the sufferings of
the victims of a recent railroad acci-
dent, Mrs. Totten rose and said pas
sionately: "If had been In that wreck
and had seen cases such as have been
described and had a pistol l would
certainly have shot the sufferers to
put them out of their misery" All
this does great credit to the hearts 6f
these women, but it only shows that
their hearts are better than their judg-
ments. In this matter they see only
one side of the subject. Probably ev-
cry mature person that ever lived has
been deeply affected by the sufferings
of people who seemed certain to die
In a short time anyway and has said
In his haste that they ought to be
chloroformed to death, at least If they
themselves desired it. This is what
he says in his haste, but the sober
second thought is always different.
There are two obvious objections to
such a practice as these women pro-
pose. The first is that the wisest man
on earth could not tell when the prop
er time to take human life In this
fashion had come. Take the case
mentioned in the convention, of a man
caught under railroad wreck and on
the point of being burned alive by the
approaching flames. That will be
considered a strong case, and yet If
the wind should suddenly change he
would be saved. Have these kind
hearted women never heard of people
whom all the attendant physicians
gave up to die and yet who got well?
iioNC they never Hedru OI people VINO
were supposed to be actually dead and
were buried and yet who were not
dead and were eXhumed and recoy-
cred? Who, then, would be rash
enough to pronounce case hopeless
and proceed to administer chloroform
or morphine? The other objection is
that If the state were to legalize ell.
thanasia nearly everybody would die
in that way except the inmates of the
asylums. Just as certainly as a sick
person had any money or any enc
mics, anyone who was tired of his au-
thofity or afraid of his influence, he
would be poisoned and killed by some
OF those around him as "hopelessly i'll"
and "at his own request" A physi-
clans certificate might be made neces-
sary, but that would only cost 50.
These considerations are so weighty
and so obvious that thoughtful people
have always left this reform" to
those who were surcharged with senti-
mentality, effeminacy, paganism bar
barism and sensationalism, with
whom 1t will always remain.
