PROFANITY AND LAW.
Wisc0nalmps Governor Returns Bill
 UnaDprOved. New York Times


 New York Times.
 Gov. Davidson, of wisconsin, has been compelled to- return to the legis- iaeaRe, without hlS Approval. bill making the use of profanity a crimi- nal offense. Obviously. no. man 1t to be governor of State could sign such a bill. wisconsin. we know. Is a clean. progressive State. producing good. citizenship; but there are many graver faults in it's various communi- ties than the use of swear words. That such @ bill could be passed by a legislative body indicates a deficiency of common sense and good judgment among the men chosen by the people of Wisconsin to make laws for them. It Is. like the measures attempting to prohibit the use of tobacco and some of the more extravuGAnt anti liquor legislation. indicative of dis position on the part of legislators to meddle with private rights.
 It is possible that a majority of the members of the Wisconsin Legislature never say darn" or gosh all hem lock" In moments of excitement? The habit of swearing is pernicious, and, indulged in in public places is very objectionable. Nobody doubts that, not even the people who habitually use vulgar and profane language. But bad manners cannot be corrected by law. We may punish needless folks who expectorate in public places and smoke where smoking is prohibited because they imperil the health of the community. But it would be as sensi- ble to pass a law to prohibit Wisconsin legislators from eating peas and pie with a knife as to try to check the use of explosives in common conver- sation by statute. Indeed. the gem eraI course of State legislation throughout the country this last year has been such as to drive the mildest- hammered, citizen to profanity.

A Plaaue of Pigeons.

Vienna, June 5.-A plague oS pigeons is at present afflicting the Viennese. So incensed are the townspeople against the birds. which are of ex- traordinary boldness and increase sur prisingly, that the magistrates have received many complaints regarding the conduct of an elderly lady. bar oness. who encourages the birds by feeding them in the Stadtpark.
 Each day the baroness appears laden with two bags of maize. each weigh ing about eight pounds. The birds which seem to have a mysterious means of telling the time. await her appearance fin hocks. and then swoop down on the corn. IL IS alleged that the birds cause discomfort to frequen- ters of the park and alarm little children.
 Inquiries made by the city authori- ties establish the fact that practically all the pigeons live in the inner city. nestlinR In the decorative stonework that characterizes Viennese architec- ture. So bold are they that when rain threatens they take shelter between the double window-panes of the hou- ses.
 At meal-times they peck at the panes with such force that they threa- ten to break the glass if their de- mands are not attended to- often they use window siils as nestling places

any time during the last forty years. It may be thought that these figures are only natural when the nature and extent of the trade depression through which the country is passing Is con sidered; but a curious fact about the figures of pauperism, and especially of indoor pauperism, Is that the maxi mum does not occur in the year of greatest trade depression, but in the following year, and, therefore, since ths unemployment figures for the past winter are far worse than those of the winter of 1908 the figures of pau. perism may be worse next year than this. For indoor pauperism Is the last stage of distress. Only after every other possible alternative has been ex- hausted does q man or his family turn to indoor relief. This peculiarity of pauperism. that it lags behind other indications of depression in trade, em- phasizes its nature and marks out the class of remedy which can alone be deal with pauperism directly or only at the moment of Restitution, and as has rightly been insisted prevention Is the first aim of reform. Three years of rule by the great democratic Government in England not only finds pauperism rising, and threatening to rise to unprecedented heights. but 1t 6iSu mus tnc COuntTy btlti W1tnOuI any great reforms which will in the future lessen the amount or tighten the bur den of pauperisrn. old age pensions, the most striking of achievements Of the government can have no real effect upon the burden of pauperism. It will no doubt. be claimed that the Small Holdings Act-that attsmpted to "eol- onize Engiand'-strikes at the root of pauperisrn. but of that Act the Liberals themselves are the loudest and most bitter critics, The Probation Act, though by no means Q fully sat isfactory piece of legislation. Is 8 move in the direction of preventing offenders inevitably pursuing the path to pauperism. and little more has been done by the Children Act. What has been done may be frankly recoE- nized, but when 1fe escataIogue is com- pared with the promises made three years ago the achievement seems piti- full.
 Light on the control of the price of beef is given by the report just issued of Lord Robert Cecil's Committed. Appointed by the Government last year in consequence of the rise In prices The following are it's conclusions:
 The combination between four of the United States companies engaged in the beef trade here (Armor. Swift. Morris, and Hammond representing the National Packing Company is not at present sufficiently powerful to he a serious danger. Three4flfths of our supply is home grown, and an increas- ing proportion comes from the ArRen- tine and Australasia.
 It seems to be within the limits of possibility, to put iti no higher. that the United States fIftns wifi acquire very considerable interests in the Ar genuine and perhaps elsewhere. (They are inquiring in Australia and New Zealand) If this should be the case it is not improbable that the methods of combination might be extended.

All told 1t is estimated that such. views are being exhibited in about two thousand theatres in the United States or not more than q quarter of the whole number exhitit- ing moving pictures. In order to make the inspection of motion scenes in every part of the courtry the forces which brought the New York board of censors into existence are pia.sning to secure national authority for this body or for a new one organized along simi- lar lines. It this is accomplished all moving picture scenes representing drunkenness, crime or other improper subjects will be barred everywhere as they are now in the great majority of picture shows. Following this it is probable that the same plan will be extended to other forms of theatri- cal entertainment.
 The Old Riddle.
 The riddle of the sphinx, which has perplexed philosophers for ages, is in a fair way to be solved in this city at least This remarkabie achieve ment, which if it is accomplished will be brought about by women, contem- plates the abolishing of the sphinx. and with 1t of course the riddle. The movement under way Is not however the result of piqued feminine curiosity but a part of the campaign for the im- provement Sof public art appreciation undertaken by the Municipal Art So- ciety. The reason for the proposed ab- olishment of the Sphinx Is due to It's complex nature, which the would-be eliminators hold exerts an extremely undesirable influence of the art con- cepts of the young. The movers for the abofishment for decorative purpos- es from the city of the ancient fig. ure cited the case of two boys who recently were arrested for indulging in fight in an effort to decide the identity of the sphinx. One of the pre- cocious youths insisted that the figure in question was that of . dog because of It's tail. while the other held that 1t was a woman basing his argument on the face. Even blows could not settle the matter and so the art work CTS have decided that any figure ex- erting an influence could not be made an instrument in the development of artistic appreciation and should be abolished. As result it would seem that women are about to get even with the baffiing sphinx by excluding her. or 1t, from the oity.

To STATE BANKS
DURING LAST YEAR
David O. Watkins, Commits
sioner, Has His Annual
Report Prepared.
Especial to the Evening star.l

TRENTON, March S.-The annual re-
port of David o. Wa@yins. of the de-
partment Of banking and Insurance, was
sent to the printer today. The aggre-
gate resources of the banking lnstitu-
tons of the State have passed the half
billion mark, according to the report
an increase of $37, 600, 900 during the
past year. Savings banks, however,
have made but small gains, rejecting
the industrial conditions of the country.
The report shows that at the close of
1908 there were seventy-seven trust
companies in operation. These had an
aggregate capital stock of SIS, AS, 700;
of $191, 714.3S9. n deposits of
$142, 642, 900. There were at the same
time twenty-eight savings banks hav-
ing of $102, 26S. 321 and depos-
its of 1913. S67 .582.
The eighteen State banks had on No
yember 81 a capital stock of 81, 593, :
$50, resources of SIG. 943, 1913 and deposits
of $13, 1921, 1903. Combining these figures,
1t appears that the of these
three classes of State Institutions ag-
gregated 1910, 927 .46S, and their deposits
$3.50, 032, AIS.
The report of the comptroller of the
currency shows that on November 81
last there were III national banks in
New Jersey. having an aggregate capital
stock of $40, 145.477; Il of $216,-
767, 977, ana deposits of $40. 277, 571. This
would make the grand total of all these
financial Institutions in the State as fol-
lows: Resources, s526, 695, 440; deposits,
1920, $40, 046.
The State institutions as a who'll in
creased our in number during the year.
in deposits there was a gain of Sl9,0S1.-
900. which was equal to s per cent. The
aggregate figures of both State and ma
tional institutions show the following
changes as compared with the CORE
spending totals for the year 1907: In
crease in number, eight; increase IN
capital stock, 1851. Tor; increase of re
sources, sS7, 4O4, $50; increase in deposits

POLICE THINK THEY
HAVE MAN WHO
SUCCEED HECKlAU
Suspect That Elliott F. Goddard
Made the Attack on
Newarker.

Developments in the arrest of Elliott
F. Goddard, held at police headquar-
ters on suspicion of having murder
ously assaulted Refnhoid Hecklau at
South Belmon. avenue and Peddie
street last Wednesday night, confirm
the police in their suspicion that they
AVE in CUSTODY the man who COM
mitted the deed. Goddard was not ar
raigned today, Captain Carroll, of the
detective bureau, having decided to
wait until further investigation of his
movements on the night of the assault
could be made. Hecklau is improving
in the City Hospital.
The srst clue to the Identity of Heck
lau's supposed assailant was furnished
by a trolley conductor on the Elizabeth
line. He stated that wednesday night
he had made his last trip for the day
and was returning to the Miller street
barns. The bars We're down on the
car no passengers were carried,
but when the conductor boarded the
car, after throwing the switch, he
found a man seated near the door He
Informed his lone passenger tina the
car only ran to Miller street, and the
stranger, who appeared to be greatly
dbitdleu, Sdlu. lIdl Will HtiP SOilt.
In company with the two detectives, the
conductor went to Elizabeth Saturday
night, and entering the store where
Goddard was employed, pointed him
out unhesitatingly as the man who
had boarded his car Wednesday night
near the scene of the assault.
In looking for a motive for the crime,
the detectives learned that Goddard for
merly boarded at the home of Hecklau
In Elizabeth, but that he was ordered TO
leave because OF some domestic trouble.
Goddard is a married man, but has NOT
lived with his wife for some time. He
has recently been living with his par
emit at 232 Railway street, Elizabeth.
When questioned by the police as to
his movements on the night of the
crime, he stated that he left the store
in which he is employed at Elizabeth at
J o'clock IN the afternoon, reached home
at 6 and remained there until 8, When
he went out to set up a stove for one OF
his customers.
