'SWEAT BOX"
IS NOT CRUEL
PRISONERS ONLY HAVE TO EN-
DURE A ToNGUE-LAsHING
ORDEAL.
MOST CRIMINALS ARE LIARS
And the Number of Lies They Tell
Very oftep Proves Their
Undoing.
MOST CRIMINALS ARE LIARS

In a recent article by DR.. d. j.
Herman he severely criticised the
police in this country for the "sweat
box' system.
"The sweatbox system of today
he SAYS, 'fis as barbaric as the tor
ture system of the ancient Romans
The Richmond police officers take
exceptions to DIR. Kiernan's state
ment and allege that the system is
not half so trying as a cross-exami
nation by any skillful criminal law
yer and brutal in no respects.
Just exactly what takes place In
the "star chamber is unknown to
the police reporters as they are rig
orously excluded but from their
evesdropping at the keyhole the con-
~clusion has been reached by the
members of this inquisitive craft
that the "Thirty-third degree" adj
ministered to an obstinate prisoner
consists of nothing more or less than
much tongue-lashing and "chewing
of rag
Nine out of ten suspects and pris-
oners who are positively thought to
be guilty will begin their interview
in the star chamber by telling a lie.
Local police officers are the authori-
ty for the statement that so many
lies are told by the person con the
carpet" that the suspected one will
finally entwine himself in a perfect
network of falsehoods and to es-
cape he will at length tell the truth.
The most difficult prisoners to deal
with are those who absolutely refuse
to talk. 1t is the common suppose
ton that confessions are beaten out
of people of this class but such is
not the case, in Richmond at least.
They are threatened, b%ombarded with
questions and "hot-shot' time and
TING again in an effort to break them
down but if the uncommunicative
one continues to keep his silence the
effort is given up. 1t is rarely that
the police meet with such people, as
the majority of "arrests' are so
frightened that they babble out any
lie that comes to their mind in a
frantic endeavor to prove that they
are guiltless. In murder cases the
slayer will be placed in the star
chamber and the grewsome details of
the deed will be told to him in an
effort to break his nerve. 1t is a har-
dy criminal that can withstand this
ordeal and five out of ten murder
suspects break down and confess, es-
pecially when they are shown the
weapon with which they committed
the crime.

IT'S MAJESTY, THE SENATE.

The Senate, that great protector
of special interests, is now being re
lied upon to kill a measure inimical
to the interests of a class Of people
who knowingly and deliberately car
~ on a business founded on deceit
and fraud. In other words the pure
food bill is marked for slaughter, and
the Senate is the butcher engaged to
do the slaugrtering.
The pure food bill was drawn up
to eliminate the impure and adulter-
ated foods which are now being mar
keted as articles fit 70 eat. 1t also
aimed to make it impossible to dis
honestly label any product. From
official experiments which have been
carried on lately, it appears that cer-
tain packers have been in the habit Of
selling cans of what was labeled
''potted turkey and 'spotted click
en-" In reality this "potted
turkey" or "potted chicken" is
nothing more or less than a product
of beef cattle, hogs, and sheep. In
all probability the articles are harm
less, hut the authors Of the pure food
bill wish to make it possible for
anyone to get exactly what they
think they are paving for, and not
something else, fals,i y labeled.
just 1T pr> sent Inc various cor
Germs engaged in this business of
fraud and deceit, have representa-
tives at Washington who are bending
every effort to prevent the passage of
this bill. The chief object of their
attack is the Senate, probably on
account of its well known attitude
toward any measure which is of ben
eft to the American people. And
the American people and the measure
which is for their good, will probably
get it in the neck again.

Efforts to revive interest in a for

success IS the students seem to be
interested.

INTEREST IN DEBATE
ON INCREASE AT THE HIGH
SCHOOL.
Prof. Davis is Making an Effort to
Organize a Forensics Glass.

The 1-2 class Of high school met
Yesterday and debated on the sub
jects, "Resolved, That capital pun
ishment should be abolished ere
solved, That football should be abol-
ished," and "Resolved, That the
Richmond public schools should have
a week of spring vacation"
These subjects were debated on
very ''hotly'' and the boys won out
in most eases.
Prof. w. S. Davis conducted the
debate and it was at his instigation
that the plan was put in practice. 1t
has been progressing for some time
and now considerable rivalry exists
between the debaters and the loren
sic practice that results in one Of the
most valuable features in connection
with the history department.
The pupils enter into the affair
with great zeal, and the subjects are
defended or opposed with as great
earnestness as is exhibited in the
national Legislative halls or in inter
collegiate debates.
These debates are not limited to
historical subjects, but all topics OF
interest to the class members are
brought up and the pupils are given
an opportunity to express their
ideas. The debates prove unusually
interesting and the class members
