WIFE PUTS COLD FEET ON
HUSBAND; COUPLE ARRESTED
Spouse Awakened by Contact OF Icy
Members Emits a Yell and
Quarrel Ensues

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27,-The
.carelessness of Mrs. Annie Fields, wife
of Charles II. Fields, an eXpressman,
resulted most unexpectedly in the ar
rest of husband and wife by Patrol
man Ritter Thursday night and in
their being locked up for the night on
charges of disturbing the peace.
Ritter patrolling that usually peace
full neighborhood of Holly park short
lv before midnight was attracted to
the Fields home by the sounds of a
terrific combat evidently going on
within. He forced his way into the
house and found Fields and his wife en-
deshabille and in belligerent attitudes
He was obliged to take them to jail,
that the THANKSGIVING day slumber OF
the neighborhood might not be further
disturbed. Fields explained to Judge
Shortan the reason of the noise.
NV Wife" said he, returned late
after having sat up with sick neigh
Dor. I was asleep when she retired,
resting after a hard days work. The
first thing she did was to plant her
ice-cold feet in the middle of my back.
I thought that an iceberg had hit me
and yelled: For heavens sake, take
vour frozen toes away Then we had
some further words and the policeman
came in
Don't do it again." warned Judge
Shortall, speaking to Mrs. Fields "The

SEEKS TO SOLVE
CRIME PROBLEM
MILITARY INSTRUCTOR FAV0RS
DRASTIC MEASURES
Prison Reform League Writer Caus-
ticaIIy Criticised Book Just PUB
Iished by Official of Elmra
Reformatory
BY WILLIAM G. OWEN

"Our object in writing this book has
been to state in a very plain way what
appears to us to be a very plain case"
The quotation is from "The Crime
Problem What to Do About It; How to
Do It." by Col. Vincent MyrOn MaSten,
military instructor at the New YORK
state reformatory, Elmira, n. Y, who
tells us that he writes from twenty
years close institutional observance of
criminals. And of all the foggy, illus
i've, authority befuddled works that it
has ever been our misfortune to ex-
anime this seems to us the very worst.
Yet in his own phrase the author es-
says to add another note to the sym
phony of prison science" The sym
phony,' indeed!
The truly aggraVating feature is that
the writer starts out with a promise OF
radical, scientific and direct treatment
of his subject. He insists on coming
down to established facts and discard
ing the superfluous. Crimes of Nio-
lence, he tells US, are increasing out of
all proportion to increase of popula-
ton; the longevity of the nation Is
menaced; the problem is cosmic ana
we must approach it by understand
ing the scientific truth that crime, like
falling apples, moves along the line OF
least resistance. Please remember this
when considering his subsequent treat
ment of this cosmic problem.
Furthermore, it is laid down at the
outset that we have vastly overrated
the number of instructive criminals
and sadly underrated those made so
by unfavorable environment: and
breeding influences are classified as
sociological, judicial and institutional
Thus the reader is lured into the be-
lief that he is to be carried headlong
into a fortnight, relentless criticism
of the measure in which admittedly
unjust social conditions, defective ju-
dicial arrangements and the institu-
tions of a barbarous past which still
rules US with an iron hand, manufac-
ture crime and criminals All this is
outlined in the opening pages, though
often in such appalling style as this:
Theoretically analyzing the etiology
and persistency of Criminousness in

rather than quantitative conclusions
