siderable feeling among the speakers
severe criticism of the manner IN
which newspapers report criminal
court proceedings, and declarations
that the criminal insane should be
treated lust as sane offenders are, were
among the features of the closing ses-
sions of the annual meeting of the
American Academy of Political and
Social Science here Saturday.
The morning session was enlivened
by an acrimonious debate between j.
Fl. Ralston of Washington, d. c., who
opposed injunctions in certain cases,
and ex-Congressman c. E. Littlefield
of New York, formerly of the I'd Dis
trict of Maine. who took the opposite
view. At the close of the session Sam

speaking on the injunction question,
was cut short by the adjournment of
the meeting which had already over
run it's time. Mr.. Gompers was in
censed at not being allowed the same
time as other speakers and charged
that he had not been fairly treated.
