AYCOCK DECLINES
 TO ACCEPT PLACE
Wants to Succeed Simmons and Does Not Like to Accept Favor from.
 Him.

Washington, April 1S~(Special. .)-Sen- ator Slmons of North Carolina received a telegram from former Governor c. B.. Aycocl of North Carolina today inform- ing him that he could not accept mem- bership on the Rio De -Janetro confer ence commission, for which position he had been selected by the President It is understood that Van Leer Polk of Ten nessee will accept the appointment. The declnation of MT. Aycock, therefore. leaves vacancy to go to a southern man and as the places are greatly in demand it is expected that the President will be flooded with recommendations from southern congressman.
 Within twenty-four hours after the Sen ate had amended the bill so as to provide for the appointment of the seven commis- sloners, two of whom should come from the south, the President made his selec- tions in order to head off a struggle for the places.
 No reason is given for MT. Aycock' s declinatlon. It is reported that he will become a candidate to succeed Senator Simmons therefore does not desire to ac- cept q place which it Is understood the senator has been instrumental in secur- ing for him.

Gibbs, a white man. was given fine of $15 and sentenced to work thirty days on the streets for the brutal treatment of his 9 year old son, whom he had hung up blythe thumbs and had on several occasions kicked across the hall.
 The story as told by witnesses, was q most revolting one. and the Mayor exr pressed regret that he could not give him a more severe punishment Gibbs is a peddler and came to this city some time ago from Michigan. He had rooms with a respectable family on College street and was seemingly in good circumstances. It was stated that his wife had been com pelled to leave him sometime ago on account of his brutal treatment of her.

Hard to Execute Justice.

''In offenses of this kind 1t is at the best hard enough to execute justice upon offenders. Our system of criminal juris- prudence has descended to us from period when the danger was lest the &C., cused should not have his rights ade- uuatcly preserved, and 1t is admirably framed to meet this danger. But at present the danger is just the reverse; that is the danger nowadays is, not that innocent men will be convicted of crime, but that the guilty will go scot free. This is especially the case where the crime is one of greed and cunning perpetrated by a man of wealth in the course of those business operations where the code of conduct is at variance not merely with the code of humanity and morality. but with the code as established in the law of the land It Is much easier, but much less effective. to- proceed against cor poration than to proceed against the individuals in that corporation who are responsible for the wrong doing. Very naturally outside persons who have no knowledge of the facts and no responsibil- ity for the success of the proceedings, are apt to clamor for action against the investigations. The department of justice has, most wisely. invariably refused thus to proceed against individuals unless it was convinced both that they were in fact guilty and that there was at least a reasonable chance of establishing this fact of their guilt. These packing cases

 but what seemed--and now seems-suffi- eient evidence of the fact
 Commissioner investigation. "But in obedience to the explicit order of the Congress, the commissioner of cor porations had investigated the beef pack ing business The counsel for the beef packers, explicitly admitted that there was no claim that any promise of any im- munity had been given by MT. Garfield, as shown by the following colioquy dur ing the argument of the Attorney Cen eral:
 MT. Moody. T dismiss almost with 8 word the claim that MT. Garfield promised immunity. Whether there is any evidence of such promise or not, I do not know and 1 do not care
 MT. Miller (counsel for the beef pack ers): There is no claim of it.
 MT Moody: Then was mistaken. and ] will not even say that word
 But Judge Humphrey holds that if the commissioner of corporations tand there fore if the interstate commerce commits sion), in the course of any investigations prescribed by Congress, asks any ques- tions of a person not called a witness or asks any questions of officer of corporation, not called as a witness, with regard to the action of the corporation on a subject out of which prosecutions may subsequently, arise. then the fact of such questions having been asks operates as bar to the prosecution of that person or of that officer of the corporation for his own misdeeds. Such interpretation of the law comes measureaby making the law farce and I, therefore recommend that the Congress pass q declaratory act stating its real intention.
