In speaking of thefts, Hemingway & Chamberlain, insurance agents, next to city hall, stated that in their judgment the New Haven police force will hold it's own with any force of it's size in the country; but that 1t was impossible lo patrol city like New Haven ef- fectiyely with even double the force That people ought to take this into consideration and do something to help themselves and at the same time help the force If nine well-to-do families out of ten would insure their jewelry and household valuables in some reli- able casualty company sneak thieves woud play shy of this city, because they know that these companies will run them down if 1t takes years to do 1t and takes their sleuths to Australia It Is often the very fact of being thus protected that protects.

The inquisitors did not believe this story and they kept Eberhard on the grill until he weakened and made a con fession. The murderer seemed to feel greatly relieved when he had finished his remarkable narrative of the mur- der.
 An important point in the confess sion was the statement by Eberhard that he had an accompllce in the mur- der plot. He said, however that his aocompllce had no hand in the killing of Mrs. Eberhard This man, who was one of Eberhards friends has fled to the west and the police are looking for him, They have his name Eberhard told the police that he had planned the murder two months ago. He wrote many letters to his aunt In his efforts to induce her to sell her home In Ger many and 10 come to this country to live, He even promised that he would marry her daughter Ottilie and make a comfortable home for her here.
 Then Eberhard recounted the arrival of his aunt and his cousin Ottllie, of his finding rooms for them in hotel in West Twenty-third street of the trip to New Jersey and the fatal walk up the railroad tracks. A binding rainstorm came up while they were walking ur the Susquehanna tracks and this aided l the murderer in his fell purpose.

Manager Piper of the Salt Lake
theatre, and the patrons of that re-
liable amusement house, were hand
ed gold brick" in the company
that presented "Under Southern
Skies" on Monday and Tuesday
nights. The play is all right, for
those who admire the sentiments ex-
pressed, but it is one that requires
a first class company in order to Sc
cure a good impression-and the COM
pany appearing this season is an in
ferior one. The writer would much
rather praise than knock" even the
poorer presentations, but the recent
production of Under Southern
Skies" made one feel that he had
wandered into the wrong pew-or
rather that he was not in the old, re-
liable Theatre, where only first class
attractions are supposed to appear.
But then we must take the inferior
with the good; and it might have been
worse. Some of the minor characters
were well sustained, scenery was sat
isfying, while the music furnished by
hte ever excellent orchestra was in
itself worth the price of admission.
"A Cowboys Honor" the drama
presented at the Lyric the past week
by the Moore Stock Company as the
title indicates, is story of life in the
West in the days of the cattle baron,
when the cow-puncher was in all his
glory. 1t is a stirring and interesting
story, well told by company which
is improving with each appearance.
The patronage has been excellent,
and the interest most gratifying to
the company and the management.

Lyric-Moore Company, presenting
Sentenced to Death"
Catchy music, pretty girls and hand
some stage settings are wonderful

Cohan national song show, George
Washington, Jr.," which opened at
the Salt Lake theatre Wednesday
night The company is an excellent
one, the title role being taken by
Carter De Haven, rising young
comedian who is exceedingly clever.
One Of the best things of the entire
performance is Mr.. De Haven's local
hits in "If Washing Came to Life
Will is Sweatman, as Eaton Ham,
the tip-huntng negro, shares the hon
ors with Mr.. De Haven. Other men,
bers of the company worthy of es-
pecial mention are Flora Parker, Lo-
la Hoffman, Lenora Anderson. Frank
McNish, Jr., Jack Rafael and John A.
Boone. The chorus is made up Of
good singers as we'll as good look,

The Saturday, matinee and the Sat-
urday night performance has been
cancelled, to allow the company to
reach San Francisco in time to open
Sunday night, much to the sorrow of
many Salt Lakers who had figured
on attending one of these perform
ances, and will now miss one of the
best shows of the season.
The woman who has the habit of
smashing up TIE chinaware can get
a few pointers at the Orpheum this
week, where one Baggeson breaks all
records in the dish-smashing line, and
incidentally furnishes about fifteen
minutes of the most mirth provoking
maneuvers one could imagine. The
entire performance is satisfying

are trapeze artists of high order, and
Charles Marvel, the contortionist, is
one of the best seen here in some
time. A pair of clever dancers, La
Belle Oterita, and her French dan
GERS, open the performance. The male
quartette is passably good one, es,

then 10000 men are taken yearly from
those employed in gainful pursuits,
and thus competition is lessened by
just that number. Again. Not only
is this competition removed, but the
community in general is saddled with
the support of those thus removed
from such active pursuits, and very
often the supper, wholly or in part,

might be in maintaining its rights.
it is hoped that it would not go to
such lengths as this.
Now if man is put under restrain,
for the general good of society, and,
it must be remembered, for his own
good as well, Zone of the objects of
punishment being the reformation of
the criminaD and he still be kept in
gainful pursuits at the same wage
as when free, then free labor would
not be injured in any degree what
ever, its only possible loss being in
not having the convict removed from
competition, position shown to be
untenable.
While no individual would be in
jured by this system, the general
community would be the gamer by
just the amount which might accrue
from the convict's labor. The family
of the convict could thus be support
ed, if the proceeds of his labor aside
from his keep be thus applied, which
in all justice it should be, and the
state freed from the burden of their
support.
1t may be urged that the labor OF
the convict is not worth as much as
free labor mainly for the reason that
the person of the convict mus. be
guarded during the working hours.
This contention however cannot be
maintained, as the state is put to that
expense at the present time under the
system which obtains. The COM
munity however has to bear both the
loss of the productive value of the
labor of the convict, the support of
himself, and the danger of adding 10
the criminal classes by the withdraw
al from the innocent their natural
support by rendering inactive the
bread winner of the family.
There may be some difficulty in
finding out the exact pursuit which
can be the best handled by this class
of labor To degree it is true that
convcts cannot be worked to advan-
tage where skilled labor is required.
1t is to the public works of the coun-
try, such as the building of roads,
that the state must look to, upon
which to apply the labor of its coh-
victs. There are other means of ap,
plying this labor which experience
will point out when once the new sys-
tenn is applied.

ures require can be the better an

used, there can be no question but
that the contention of labor is cor
rect. 1t would be a gross injustice
to push the honest worker out of any
field of employment by the use Of
labor which to all intents and purpos-
es is SLAVE" So strong is this senti-
ment, that but few of the states, have
attempted to rsc their convicts III
any manner which could conflict with
the honest laborer. So much has this
become the case that in the most of
our penal institutions, the inmates are
in fact sentenced to a term of idle
ness, and the words-"At hard Lab
or" have become joke among the
vicious classes.
In the states where the convicts
have been put at gainful pursuits, so
many forms of graft have crcpt into
the system that it stinks in the most
rils OF both the employer and en-
ployee classes. The difficulty is that
every experiment so far tried, has
been along the lines of slave
labor. Thus convict labor has ever
been associated with the word
Cheap" and as such has Justly me,
with the opposition of all the honest
toilers. In the states where the con-
victs have been EARNED" out, so
many abuses have crept in, aside from
the brutality practiced by the con.
tractors upon their hapless charges,
that civilization has become shocked.
and the sturdicst officials quail befor.
the problem of the use of the con-
victs incarcerated in our prisons.
Another objection to the use of con-
vict labor by the contract system is
that which was brought out at the
time of our civil war, and was one
of the prime causes of the war. and
which has all along been cropping out
in various ways, notably in the orient
al labor question: That of giving an
unfair advantage to any contractor
who might employ such cheap labo-.
AS was said above, it all narrows
itself down to the question of slave
labor in the end. So certain is fail
ure along these lines, that it seems
that the time should soon arrive that
the whole system should be changed,
and a more sane one built UP in its
stead
Upon what lines then can this be
accomplished? As the use of convict
labor has proved failure, when that
labor is used as slave labor, it seems
reasonable that the other tao should
be tried, of fully paying for such lab
or, and not treating it as slave labor
at all.
While we may own it Just tina
honest labor should not be put to loss
by the use of cheap convict labor in
competition with it, may it not safe
~ be said upon the other hand that
honest labor should not be the gamer
