.CR|PPEN IS EXECUTED
Hanged in London for the Mur-
der Of His Wife.

London, Nov. 24-Dr. Hawley Har-
vey Crippen was hanged in the yard of
the Pentonville prison for the murder
of his wife, Belle Gilmore, the actress
The announcement of the execution
from the prison was accompanied by
the official statement that Dr. Crippen
made no statement or confession what
soever before being hanged.
Father Carey, who has been much
with Crippen at Pentonville, remained
at the prisoners side throughout the
night and accompanied him to the
scaffold.
The condemned man, who, through.
out his trial and even until Home Sec,
rotary Churchill had refused petition
for his reprieve. had maintained an
imperturbable calmness, presented a
pitiable appearance as he was literally
led throughout the short corridor from
his cell to the scaffold
His mental anguish had been too
great to be covered up by outward
bravado and it was broken man the
wardens were obliged to assist up the
steps to the drop, upon which, once
reached. the shrinking figure all but
collapsed.
Crippen, who weighed 140 pounds
was given a drop of seven feet Death
was instantaneous.

Two Score Perish in Disaster
at Newark, n ].
VICTIMS MOSTLY YOUNG GIRLS
Twenty Killed or Fatally Injured in
Jumping From the Windows to
the Street Below.

Newark, N. ]. Nov. 26.-Careless-
gasoline too close to lighted gas jet
is responsible for the death of twenty
three girls and a boy in fire that de-
stroyed an old ramshackle factory
building in High street
In the morgue tonight lie the bodies
of the victims, several charred beyond
recognition. In the hospitals are
twenty injured persons, several of
whom cannot live. About twenty five
others are missing and many say it
will not surprise them if the death list
grows to forty.
Twelve girls were instantly killed
by jumping from the fourth floor from
windows or from fire escape landings.
Eight others died later from injuries
received in the same way. The other
victims were burned to death in the
Veritable furnace that, within twenty
minutes, had doomed the building to
destruction.
The fire was caused by the explosion
of can of gasoline on the third floor
On the floor above were $50 women,
employees Of the Louis Wolf Manufac-
turing company, makers of underwear.
It was among these girls that most Of
the fatalities occurred and not until
the roll OF surviving workers can be
taken will the exact number of dead
be known.
The flames broke out about $3.50
a. m. Late this evening Fire Chief
Astely, who had been on the scene all
day and had supervised the fire fight
ing and rescue work, estimated that
the death list might reach forty. 1t
will be two days or more, he said, be-
fore all the bodies can be recovered.
Nearly all of the dead are young girls
Four of those who jumped from the
top floors were impaled on the pickets
of an open gate in front of the build
ing.

EXCESSIVE HUMANITY NOTED

Partisan Director of Penitentiaries
Fears American Plan Would Not
Last In European Republic-Praise
For Rescue Work Among Children to
Prevent Crime.
M. Schrameck, director Of the French
penitentiaries, one Of the five delegates
who attended the recent congress at
Washington, has returned to Paris, and
In speaking Of his trip said:
eve return astounded. We saw
prisoners in the United States better
lodged and better fed than the greater
part Of the working population of
France. l do not exaggerate They
have three meals day and meat at
each. After eating they have coffee
They have to work, but so little it is
not worth mentioning.
System Astounds Visitors.
''In that free country deprivation of
liberty is considered a sufficient pen
atty. An American prisoner remains
a citizen and so cannot be logged.
His hair is not cut off, as in France,
and he is not obliged to wear a spe-
cial costume. He is supposed to pre-
serve the sentiment Of his own per-
sonality, his own individuality, so at
meals each has his own stool, while
French prisoners use forms.''
NJ. Schrameck described the lessons
given in prisons, the prison baseball
games, etc., from which he concluded
that prisoners in America were looked
upon as wanderers from the right way
who ought to be put back on the right
road. ....-...-
M. Schrameck praised the measures
taken in America to prevent criminal
1ty, the children's courts and the parks
for children's play. The prisons he
thought models, but too expensive for
France to initiate.
America Has "Excessive Humanity."
"After ALL every country has it's own
ways. The excessive humanity Of
Americans is most praiseworthy
work. Does it give the desired re-
suits? That has to be found out. I
do not think that in France such hui
mainly would have much success.
"What is to be admired in the Unit
ed States, repeat, is the care taken
to rescue the children from the street
and its temptations. To prevent the
first little crime is to stop the child
slipping down the evil slope. To pre-
vent is better than to punish There
is much to be done among us in this
direction -

ton for American children. have
brought mine up entirely in this coun-
try, where they are to live and work
1t is necessary first that they should
understand American conditions and
American institutions before they
travel to observe foreign life.''
DR.. Richard explains that he does
not advocate the interchange Of In
fants nor of very young children, but
Of studious and ambitious youths.
Seventeen seems to him the ideal age
to spend year or more among for
eign folk. Suppose New York boy
showed artistic promise and a Partisan
youth a natural bent toward skyscrap-
ers and subways. What could be bet
ter and simpler than for the young
artist to betake himself to Paris and
live with the young engineers parents,
while the incipient engineer became
for time an American?
Consider the science to which for
estry is reduced in Germany. A boy
with bent for forestry and an am
bition to build up the American sci
ence could not do better than to spend
six months or year in Germany.
Exchange Bureau Planned.
There might in time develop an ex-
change bureau Of situations. Young
persons who are starting out in some
branch of commerce or in agriculture
or forestry could be exchanged by their
employers for few months and thus
acquire foreign ideas and methods
about their work. Commercial bodies
Of standing, such as the Austrian Elk
port society in Vienna and the Museum
OF Commerce of Philadelphia, are
thinking favorably of indorsing such
scheme.
DR.. Richard has already received
four or five applications from Europe
for suitable exchanges and number
from the middle west. Certain circles
interested in the peace movement have
given hopes Of financial support, so it
is expected that the necessary funds
will soon be on hand to begin the pre-
liminaries
DR.. Richard does not believe in con-
fning the exchange idea to such coun-
tries as France and Germany and Eng
land. South America is much inter-
ested in the idea.
Peru Is Willing.
The Peruvian government is even
willing to provide transportation for
young Peruvians who may be inter
changed into the United States.
''That may be very nice for the Peru
VANS, but isn't it a little hard on the
American youth that changes off, DR..
Richard was asked.
Zone Of the best things such a sys-
tenn of exchange would probably teach
u.s." said DR.. Richard, ''is that we are
not superior to the rest of the world

years, and I speak with all loyalty to

much given to assume that we are bet

tioning in what way. If a few young
Americans were to spend six months
or year in Peru they would be able
to understand that the cultivated Peru
Wan has something to teach u.s.

that the idea of the interna-

IS original with him Indeed, it was
first brought out within the commit
tee on peace propaganda and interna-
tional relations of the National Ger
man-American alliance and the alli-
ance indorsed it at the 1910 conven-
ton. What is more, it has been tried.
The French-German-English children
exchange has been doing business for
years. Also the very peasants in
Switzerland swap their children for a
year running, the French-Swiss fam
lilies with the German-Swiss, for every
one has to speak both French and Ger
man to get on at all in Switzerland,
and it is just as repugnant to the feel
ings of the Swiss to pay for French
or German lessons as it would be to us
to pay for singing ''The Star Spangled
Banner"
May Enhance Universal Peace.
Whether the intercourse between
English, French and German families
that has been established by the inter
change of children has begun to bring
about that mutual understanding that
shall lead to peace on earth Professor
Richard did not know, but that it
ought to be is very sure
1T is most important to the cause of
universal peace that all nations shall
understand each other" he says. "And
how can we come to a better under
standing Of a foreign people and their
institutions than by living among them
during one or more of the impression
able years Of our youth?"
DR.. Richards plan to make practical
the interchange of American youth

The business Of this bureau will be
to keep on file the addresses of the folk

place between folk of approximately
the same walk in life. There is not
the slightest reason, he thinks, why
the children of workingmen and the
children of millionaires should not
avail themselves Of these opportuni-
ties, but it is naturally important that
they do not get mixed.
War, Not Peace, Possible.
