Andrew D. White Says Wealthy MUIR
derers Should Not Escape.

Ithaca, N. Y, July 21.--Andrew d.
White former president OF Cornell I'M
iversity, in an address before the Cor
nell summer school Friday declared the
time has come when technical appeals
in criminal cases should no longer be
allowed by the courts. Referring to
the situation in New York City and
speaking Of District Attorney Jerome,
Dr. White said:
"On him more than other man TANK
ing people turnout the state and ma
ton are pinning their hopes that sun
dry cases of high crime now attract
ing notice may not become a lasting
disgrace to the New York courts and
American justice. While the number
Of murders l. rapidly increasing pro-
cedure against them is becoming more
and more Ineffective and, in the light
of sundry cases in New York and else
where, is seen to be a farce.
Zone of the worst results of these
cases is the growing opinion among the
people at large that men with money
can so delay Justice by every sort of
chicanery that there is virtual immun-
ity from punishment for the highest
crimes l favor preventing appeals
based on mere technical matters and
upon errors of trial judges in trifing
matters Of procedure and the like
which have really nothing to do with
the question of guilt of innocence"

Run Enqines With Alcohol.

New York, July 20.-Alcohol as a
fuel in small gas engines is the SUBJ
ject of an investigation about to be be-
gun by Professor Charles f. Lucke of
Columbia University for the United
States department of agriculture in the
laboratories at Columbia. At the last
session of congress the internal rev.
enue tax was removed from denatured
alcohol so as to permit of it's use for
industrial purposes. This law goes in
to effect Jan. l, 1907 AS a result it is
expected that very large quantities of
this alcohol will be used as fuel for
small engines. 1t is expected that this
will increase the products of the farm,
nearly all of which can be utilized for
alcohol manufacture.
Professor Lucke will collect the re-
suits of the experiments conducted on
the use of alcohol in engines, which
have been carried out both here and
abroad and will expand the informa-
ton by further experiments. All Of
this data, together with complete
