THEINSANE CRIMINAL

A special committee of the New York State Bar association, appointed to con- sider the commitment and discharge of the criminally insane, has made report, using the two trials of Harry K. Thaw as an illustration. It calls attention to the efforts of those people who swore Thaw out of jail on account of insanity and who are now trying to get him out of an asylum because of his sanity. There is little doubt in anybodY's mind that Thaw is crazy and a degenerate, and should be kept where he can do no more harm. The report proposes to do away with the insanity defense in mur- der cases, and submit to the jury the single question: "Did the accused do the deed?" "If he did, he is guilty; if not, he is innocent. If insane, that question can be settled afterward, and he should forfeit his liberty. If sane, he should be punished according to law.

In this strike of the carmen, the strike leaders and the men themselves have guarded especially against being involved in violent outbreaks. The leaders have counseled peace, and in few instances. if any, have any of the strikers partici- pated in street brawls. It is the notori- ous fact that the rioting has been the work of crow ds of lawless men and boys. Every photograph printed in the news papers and every list of wounded in the hospitals vindicate the strikers.-Phila- delphia Times.
 This may be true, although those who have seen the ways of strikers might be inclined to doubt it. But true or not, the fact remains that instructions from union men to these vlolators of the law would stop their vandalism. If not guilty of the acts themselves, the strikers are responsible for them, by not using all their influence toward maintaining law and order. They have no desire to stop it; that is why it is continued.

A dispatch says that an Iowa man has just found $5,OO0 iD a Bible given him thirty years ago. We wonder if that amount of money could have remained secreted so long in any Canaan mans Bible. Perhaps, though, the Iowa man was not so irreligious as the report would indicate. He might have learned the Good Book by heart when he was young, and therefore had no occasion to open it.

Many a major league magnate with
second division ball club on his
hands Is awakening to the fine points
OF the rule passed last winter TO the
effect that only S5 men can belong
TO big league club at one time. It's
pretty tough on the fellows who have
bunch OF old-umers all hitting the
tobogsan at once, for out OF every ten
Class and further down player you
draft or buy. you probably get one or
two nj for fast company.
heretofore IL has been the custom
TO go out and lay hands on every
thing you wanted. providing you could
come TO terms on purchase price or
were lucky enough 10 get men I'm the
drafting period. You can't do this any
more. Now when you seek players
you are done when the 35th man has
been added TO the list.
Every major league club has be-
tween 20 and Is men on the payroll
during the season. TWENTY-FIVE 10
probably a fair average. Each club
has possibly six men out on optional
agreements subject TO recall by
August 25th. The men out on optional
agreements do not have TO report un-
I'll the season OF the league In which
they are playing is finished. However,
every option exercised eats up one
OF that permitted SO.
Take Detroit for instance. 1t has
22 men on hand now and six out OPP
tionally. II these six are recalled 1t
makes total of 2S, leaving seven
men TO be drafted and purchased. Out
Of this seven, recruited from the high
ways and byways of baseball. the Tig.
ers will be lucky II they land one cap
able player. In other words. with the
S5-men rule in effect Detroit can ex-
pect to add two or three men at the
most beneficial to the team.
This 35men rule was passed by the
National Association OF Professional
Baseball leagues as a means OF pact
flying the Class A leagues. They
howled because the minors were all
gobbled up by purchase or draft and
men who might have labored in Glass
A leagues with credit to themselves
we're sent back to some friendly team
In Glass B or Class G leagues in return
for which the major league that sent
its castoffs had the pick OF those clubs
free OF charge next season.
In this way tie new rule Is good
thing, but Il il bad for the second d.
vision major teams. They need more
than two or three good men, and, all
the clubs having made money. are
willing &c spend big sums chasing that
ever-recurring hope the first di.

This scurry To find AN opponent for
Jack Johnson recalls the days when
they were frisking the globe TO find a
man capable OF holding his own
against Yours truly. John l.. Sulli'
van" Some OF the men who have
been mentioned as logical opponents
for the champion are enough TO make
a horse laugh. Imagine raw Harvard
athlete, who knows as mech about
the fighting game as Johnson does
about the fourth dimension. permit
ting himself to be exploited as the
man TO oppose the black demon.
One of the big jokes has been
sprung by Johnson himself, l can see
Johnson smiling behind the back OF
the men who fall for the bunk.
Johnson has been quoted as saying
he believes either Al Kaufman or
Walter Monahan will be a contender
for his honors.
Gee! It's great to be crazy? And
Johnson is just as foolish as a fox.
Imagine Johnson boosting Kauf-
mann seriously. Why, when they met
before. Jack had to choke himself to
keep from making the thing a bur-
lesque. And in their training workouts
he used TO stop Kaufman before the
big Californian could get under way.
Big Al Is first rate scrapper, but
he has about as much chance OF an
nexing the title as that celluloid dog
had of catching the asbestos cat that
entered the fiery furnace. Kaufman
can hit with the force OF a runaway
box car on 10 per cent slope. but
unfortunately his hands and brain
don't work IN unison. He thinks to-
day and acts manana.
As for Monahan-well, Monahan
won q lot OF what they call amateur
fights" on the coast. four-round bouts
in which newcomers and willing mix,
ers are tried out-and he is a rather
promising light heavyweight. Ii he
weighs 100. as an eastern critic de-
clares. Broadway must have piled
avoirdupois onto him as the slave OF
Aladdin's lamp used to create cities
And as for fighting Johnson-roll
over, Jack, you're on your back.
Johnson Is either doing a fine LOT
OF press agent work when he boosts
Kaufman and Monahan as probable
opponents or he is looking for some.
thing awful soft when he next enters
the arena.
