TO DRAMATIZE IT
Enthusiastic Over Book Of
Fort Smelling Captain.

Edwin Brandt, playwright and the
VILLAIN" Of the Andrew Mack company,
now playing at the Metropolitan theater,
is engaged in ~dramatizing the book,
Brown Of the 'Steenth," which it's au-
thor, Captain John H. Parker of the
Twenty-eighth infantry at Fort Smelling,
expects to put in the printers hands
soon.
Mr.. Brandt and Captain Parker are old
friends, and in confidence Captain Par
ker has frequently consulted the actor
relative to the book, which is a tale Of
the Philippines, from where it's author but
recently returned. 1t is, Of course, an
army story. 1t tells Of the life and ad-
venture Of Captain Brown Of the
"Steenth." It is a tale of love and ad-
venture, livened with unusual situations
and predicaments. A feature which ap-
pealed to Mr.. Brandt was the story
great worth for dramatization. 1t has
taken him some time to convince Captain
Parker how good a play it will make, but
now both men are enthusiastic over it,
and Mr.. Brand is to have the dramatiza-
ton completed SO that next fall he car
head a company, himself playing Captain
Brown" and probably present 1t for the
first time in the Metropolitan theater,

ANOTHER sP1NsTER's SCHEME
Miss Hall Evolves a Plan for Killing
the Weak and Dying.

Journal Special Service. - I.
Cincinnati, Jan. 6-Miss Anna Hall,
who advocates painless death for per-
sons helpless in the grasp Of extreme
age and those suffering agonies from an
incurable disease Or injuries that mean
death after a period Of excruciating
pain, has evolved a scheme for putting
into operation her ideas.
She advocates the plan of having a
board of physicians of not less than ff-
teen years experience, act as the inter
mediaries between life and death. One
Of herbeliefs is that people should have
the death struggle in which she lay for
form Of q will, that they wish to be
aided into eternity when the end shall
be approaching and the agony of death
comes upon them. The board should be
subject to the call Of this person and if
satisfied the end is near, hasten it's ap-
proach by gently administering some
Miss Hall was prompted to take up
this unusual theory by the death Of her
mother, Mrs. Murcie Hall, the widow of
the late DR.. John Hall, the Arctic ex-
plorer. Mrs. Hall suffered for weeks
from cancer Of the stomach before death
ended her agony. Miss Hall, who was
with her mother thru it all, says that
she can never eradicate from her mem.

of Dante's Inferno could not be more

picted on the face of my dying

Catholic Populations. -
The archdioceses Of New York and
Chicago are rated as having 100000
Catholic inhabitants. In this count the
villages and suburban. towns are also
included. It must fsbe taken into consid'
GRAFTON, however, that the archdiocese
of New York does not embrace the city
of Brooklyn, which is a diocese itself.
Boston follows with a Catholic popula.
tion Of zoe, 1000, while the diocese of
Brooklyn is fourth with 100000. The
archdiocese Of Philadelphia is fifth with
485,O00 and the archdiocese of NewaOr
leans sixth, with a population Of $50,

Cleveland. diocese Of Newark and do
cese of Hartford follow The archdio
cese of Milwaukee is the fourteenth
largest in the country, with a popula
ton. Of 235,000... The reason milwaukee,

there being 1924 in Gotham. Chicago

Philadelphia, Jan. Ga proposal
to 'chloroform the children Of the hope

was made here yesterday afternoon by
Miss l.. Graham Crozier, a lecturer on
sociology. She said:
~ would personally rather admins
ter chloroform to the poor, starving
children of New York, Philadelphia,
Chicago and other American cities, than
to see them living as they must in
squalor and misery.
F'I am not speaking Of the children Of
those persons who are merely victims of
circumstances-the children of honest,
Woodworking mechanics and laborers.
1T am speaking Of the offspring Of
the criminal classes that infest the
slums. These are fit subjects Of chloro-
form.'
Miss Crozier's remarks were made at
a lecture to society women and made a
decided sensation. She continued:
"There is no ground to believe that
any human life is inviolably sacred and
to be preserved, no matter with what
results to individuals or to others. On
the contrary, there are lives to which
every reasonable consideration urges
that an end should be putt ,
