ALL INCURABLES
SHOULD Be
KILLED
Former Harvard Professor Now an
Advocate of Miss Halls
Doctrine.
BY Associated Press.

Philadelphia, Jan. 5.-Dr Charles
Elliot Norton, of Cambridge has join
ed forces with Miss Anne S. Hall, of
Cincinnati and with Mrs. Maud Bal
lington Booth in their campaign for
the killing of the hopelessly. insane,
hOpelessly diseased and victims OF ae-
cidents. His views are expressed in
a letter written to Miss Hall and
made public here to-day.
DR.. Norton was formerly professor
of literature at Harvard He was
a friend of LOngfellow and Lowell
and with them made q the famous
translation of the Divine Comedy -
He heads his letter AN Appeal to
Reason AS Well as Compassion, adj
dresses Miss Hall and writes:
THE principle that it is a duty to
prolOng every human life as long as
possible, at whatever cost, has hither
to been. generally accepted.
Its main support has been the doc
trine of the sacredness of human
life.
THE doctrine and the practice have
both been pressed too far. There is
no ground to hold every human life
as inviolably sacred and TO be pre-
served, no matter with what results
to the individual or others. On the
contrary there are cases to which
every reasonable consideration urges
that the end should be put Setting
aside all doubtful cases, no right
thinking man would hesitate TO give
dose of laudanum, sufficient TO end
suffering and life, to the victims OF
an accident from the torturing effects
Of which recovery is impossible, how
ever many hours of misery might be
ADDED to conscious life by sttmulants
or surgical operations.
Nor should a reasonable man hes
itate to hasten death in case of a
cancer. when II has reached the stage
OF incessant, severe pain and when
the patient desires to die.
The prolongatiOn of life in such
cases by whatever means is mere
criminal cruelty.
COR take another instance. that OF
an old person whose mind has become
chaos of wild Imagination produc-
tive of constant distress not only to
the sufferer, but to all who live and
attend him The plain duty in such
cases is not to prolons. but shorten
life.
ut is not to be hoped that supersti-
ton So deeply rooted in tradition as
that duty Of prOlonging life at any
cost VIII readily WELD arguments of
reason or the pleadings of compass
sion but the discussion of the sub
iect in all its aspects may lead graz
Gally to more public opinion and
the consequent relief of much
misery"

DEATH BLOW TO THE
MORALES REBELLION

New York. Jan. 5.-That the death
of General DemetTiO Rodriguez, who
led the Morales Instruction in SantO
Domingo, will be the death blow to
the uprising was the opinion express
ed yesterday by FabiO FaiallO, consul
general of the Santo Domingo govern
nsent in this city.
According to Senior Fiallo, President
Caceres can give far more substan-
tial aid on the pending treaty between
the United States and San Domingo.
He further declared that General
Morales joined the revolution to de-
feat the treaty. In discussing the re-
letiOn of the treaty to the present po
litical disturbance in his country, the
consul general said:
General Morales's special attempt
was to make certain provisions of the
treaty the means of establishing his
own personal power. This explains
rot only the friction with the cabinet,
but the ministers as well. The peo-
pie at first disliked article seven of
the treaty by which the Washington
government was empowered to help
with arms and ammunition the Do
minican executive whenever the lat
ter should require such aid for the
re-ests Enlistment of order. Had the
treaty been submitted to the United
states senate without any amendment
Morales would not have gone to the
revolutionary party. His present pur-
pcse is either to defeat the treaty and
bring ansrchistic conditions that even
tually might give him dictatOrial pow
ers or else provoke American inter
vention. Happily, President Caceres
can 1--WE far more substantial aid TO
the treaty than Morales could. He
not only has the full confidence OF
thu cabinet and his party but has,
moreover. the cooperation of Emil
ana Tejera. the minister of foreign af-
fairs. without doubt the most infuen-
tfal man in San Domingo"
The news CT the killing of General
Rodriguez in the fighting at Puerto
Plata was a shock to his friends in
this city where he lived for some
time.
He was a graduate of Fordham cor
lege.
