CAPITAL PUNISHMENT BILL.
ing II Held in Representatives
UnIl-MOman Suffrage Herring.

Montpelier, Oct. 22,-The judiciary
committee from the Senate and House
gave public hearing this evening in
Representatives hall on the bills in
troduced by Mr.. Archibald Of Manches-
ter abolishing capital punishment and
substituting therefore life imprison-
ment for conviction of capital crimes
and the one introduced by Mr.. McCuen
of Vergennes substituting the electric
chair for the rope. The hall was
crowded and in the audience were hum
dreds of ladies.
j. W. Redmond of Newport first
spoke in favor of abolishing capital
punishment Vermont. he said, has no
right to administer retributive justice,
1t is not necessary for the protection
of the State that the State take the
lives OF those who have put their fell
low citizens to death This being so
It Is an absolute wrong for the state
to thus take life. The State is doing
an awful wrong in keeping such n law
on the statute books. The adjustment
of capital punishment is sure to come
and the bill to substitute the electric
chair for hanging Is only a step in

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

some Buck Back with Him.
Representative /. NJ, Kicker of Gro
ton took an early start this morn
ing and brought down handsome 26o
mound buck before he took the train
for Montpelier. Some one in the House
wIckcdly suggested that Mr.. Kicker
ought to give the carcass of this deer
to widows over 40 years old who will
sign n bond never to marry again, but
Mr.. Kicker says he proposes to have a
norton of 1t served to some of his
friends Mt the Montpelier House some
evening next week.
s. uollistcr jackson, the representa-
tive from Barre city. has given the sub
iect of abolishing capital punishment
the most careful consideration. Mr..
Jackson believes no representative or
senator In the Vermont Legislature can
truthfully say that he voices the senti-
ment Of a majority of his constituents
as to whether or not the death penalty
should be abolished, and for this rca-
son proposes a referendum OF this Ques-
ton to the people. This scheme Is
meeting with favor and II Is believed
with referendum attachment a bill to
abolish capital punishment would pass
both houses, Mr. Jackson proposes an
amendment to the present bill that it
should be referred to the voters of the
state at the annual town and city meet =
ings in March 1907, IL the voters ap-
prove of the measure 1t shall become a
law at that time If not, It shall not be
In force until after another session of

AIMED AT BUCK, HIT DOE.
UnIucky shot by n stowe Huntcr-Re-
ports 20 Comm sioner Thomas.

Stowe, Oct. &c. o. Burt, who made
one of n party of sportsmen who spent
tho night on Round Top or Luce Hill,
was returning to stowe about $50
o'clock this morning when he saw two
deer, a BUCK and a doe. under an apple
tree eating apples. He aimed at the
buck but hit and killed the doe, while
the buck ran away Mr.. Burt is a
good shot and killed n fine buck three
years ago and much regrets the re-
suits of this years attempt He at
once notified MIR. Thomas and will
settle for It,
c. o. Burt left stowe this afternoon
and c. L. Mcmahon leaves Tuesday for
Montreal in the interest of the Canad-
ian lumber syndicate. Mr.. Burt will
probably go to the lumber territory
owned by the company for couple
of weeks.
Commissioner Thomas has received
a report of n doe killed in Bralntroe
having horns seven inches long. This
is the second instance of the kind
known in the State, the other being
that of the mounted doe with horns
in the State House. There is no law
against shooting a doe with horns.

that direction.

that direction
Representative Bole Of Coventry be-
lieved that eventually all wrong will
cease and in this evolutionary process
punishment would go but in the swift
march of progress Vermont should not
wait for the approaching millennium but
take this step now.
Rev. j. Hall Long of Bethel spoke
against the bill and believed the law
now in force good enough for Vermont.
English law, than which there is no
higher In the land, stands for the death
sentence on conviction Of murder. Mr..
Longs principal argument was that
capital punishment Is deterrent of
crime and life Imprisonment is fail
ure.
J. C. Enright of Windsor made an i'm
FASHIONED appeal to tho committee to
report favorably on the bill now be-
fore them 1t was no honor for the state
to take the life of Mary Rogers. Let
her case be the last in Vermont.
Prof f. A. Bishop of Montpelier Semi
nary, whose awful experience In Della
ware few years ago is still remembered
urged the committee to see to It that the
Hves and honor of the innocent are pro-
tected and when capital crimes are com.
mitted to see to 1t that speedy punishme MT
shall follow. If Imprisonment for life will
do 1t give us that. but If not keep the
law now on the statute books in force.
In response to an inquiry from the COM
mittee Mr.. Long favored referring this
question to the people Of the state for
final decision and Mr.. Redmond opposed.
The bill granting municipal suffrage to
women was also considcfed by the joint
judiciary committees. Representatives
Shaw Of Marlboro. who introduced the
bill and Representative Dcwart of St.
Adams favored the bill as did Mr.. Hap
good OF Peru In a humorous speech who
said in clusing vote to let them vote as
well as hang" Mr.. Latham of Milton OPP
posed because the women of Vermont do
not care to vote. Mrs Mary W. Warren
Of Montpelier, n Taxpayer, objected
taxation without representation and
favored the bill in a neat speech as did
Mrs. Helen Perry of Colorado.
