MAKING MURDER EASY.


Howard Maxim, who has just in
vented . noiseless firearm, is panic
stricken. He declares that he realizes
the awful possibilities of this gun and
that his conscience is far from easy.
"When you can discharge a bullet"
says he. with practically the same
velocity and accuracy Is with the old
gun, and do it silently, it is evident
that you have a very dangerous pos.
sibility." Mr.. Maxim fears that his
invention will be taken advantage of
first by those who have no right to it,
to be used with perfect a~daptability in
the art of private assassination. He
wants congress to control the inven-
ton and allow its use only by the
military and police authorities.
PROFESSIONALLY, Mr.. Maxim's in
vention may add q certain refinement
to the art of taking life. The burglar
and strong.rm men have been slow to
resort to the use of pistols because
of the noise they make. With . gun
that will do its work effectively and
without noise, the greatest obstacle to
successful crime and secret assassina-
ton will have been removed, and the
perils which crime brings upon hon.
est folks greatly increased.
But there is . silver lining to the
cloud. If the Maxim invention is az
dangerous Is he would haveus believe,
it will serve to hasten legislation regu-
lating the sale and use Of firearms.
LAwmakers of the government and Of
the states will have to take cognizance
of the new danger and its possibilities
for evil and adopt stringent measures
against earring concealed weapons.
It will be accepted Is . great instru.
ment for good if it results in labelling

DEPORTYNG CRIMINAL IlfAfI-

GRANTS.
Robert Watchorn. commissioner Of
immigration ut New York, has made
suggestion of amendment to the inn
migration laws that is receiving very
favorable consideration by the com.
mittees of congress that are. investi-
eating immigration conditions and
preparing new legislation to be offered
at the present session. MI. Watch
orn's recommendation is that the Law
be amended 50 that any immigrant
who commits . crime within three
years after landing in this country may
be deported. Under the existing Law
immigrants may be deported if within
three years after they have been ad'
mitted it is learned that they had been
criminals before coming here.
Records show that but few aliens
have been deported on account Of
crimes committed by them in their
native lands before coming to this
country. Evidence o fsuch criminality
comes to light now and then, but the
accused men usually plead their of5ense
was political and the American auth
critics are slow to exhibit any partic-
ular activity in prosecution of such
cases. The amendment proposed BY
Mr.. Watchorn appears to the point.
The behavior of aliens after arriving
in this country is q matter that con-
Germs the police authorities and the
adoption and enforcement of such an
amendment to the immigration laws
would at least serve to place immi-
grants upon their good behavior for
three years after their arrival. Even
q foreigner with the anarchistic faint
and the hate of authority in his heart
is quite apt to take . different view Of
things after he has complied with the
law for three years and has had time
to get IN idea of American institu-
