General Wickersham officially well

tribute to George Washington and the
American people in general. and thank

delegates since their arrival on these
shores. A complaint that the police
often were too hasty about putting
persons into jails was voiced by
Charles r. Henderson, professor OF So
GEOLOGY at Chicago University. during
his opening address as president OF
the congress.
"The keeping OF first Offenders In
jail even one night, while 1t might
have been avoided, often accomplishes

simply deter by making an example
OF offenders, but by convincing the Of

law. and by so doing to restore him
to useful status in society.
The adoption by Congress in
March, 1908. of revised code of penal
laws, codified and clarified the legis-
lation defining and prescribing punish

States government and marked an i'm
