MADE IN Kansas. and illinois againat
hangings that are scheduled to take
place Within their abodes. ia: Kansas
the death penalty was abo lished BY
the 2legislature two years ago, but
Charles o. Neil, an army officer, has
been sentenced to die on the gallows
on March 90, under the auspices Of the
federal government. Governor Stubs
and thousands of Kansas citizens have
appealed to President TAFT to commute
the sentence OF the condemned officer.
In Illinois, Clarence barrow has been
engaged by an organization of citizens
TO deliver . series of addresses in the
hope of arousing state sentiment to the
point Of repeating the law legallzing
the death penalty. s. 49, .. s.>- ia: y !
The Kansas situation il peculiar in
some respects. Public sentiment has
always been against the inh1ictlon
of the death penalty in that state and
governors have invariably commuted
There has been no legal hanging in
Kasnas since the state was admitted
to the Union. On this account the
citizens are making a determined
effort to have the hanging of the army
officer prevented and his sentence com
muted to life imprisonment.
Maine, Michigan, Rhode Island,
Wisconsin and Kansas have abolished
the death penalty and the question
will come up for discussion in several
of the state legislatures this winter.
Governor Eberhart IS strongly in favor
of repeating the present law and Will
recommend to the coming legislature
that life imprisonment be substituted
for the death penalty sentence in
capital ottense. Friends Of the reform
legislation contend that legalized
hangings are relic of barbarism.
They argue that however deserving Of
extreme punishment the lawbreaker
may be, the community by wrecking
personal vengence upon him thereby
helps to debauch itself.
On the other hand, records in some
of the states where the death penalty
has been committed to life lmprison-
ment show that the average prison
service of lite convicts Is less than
fifteen years. This is the record in
Nebraska, Iowa and several other
states. This result. usually obtained
through the jealous activity of prison
reform organizations and pardon
boards, has served to strengthen the
position of those who are IN favor Of
the retention of the death penalty. 1t
has been suggested that a state
which rep ,als the death penalty should
also enact law prohibiting pardon
to any person convicted of a capital
ofense and sentenced to life imprison.
msnt, except on the discovery Of new
evidence showing the Innocence Of the
convict.
The question IS one worthy Of the
consideration of the
and those interested in
law enforcement in all the states.

Train on Rock Island Railroad
Dftched While Going Thirty
Miles an Hour.

Marshalltown. Ia, March 22-For.
N-five people were killed and forty
were injured, many of them fatally,
in the wreck four and a half miles
north Of Green Mountain, a., of Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific passen.
ger train.
. The train, which was q consolida.
ton of No. 10 from Chicago, and No.
81 from st. Louis, bound for st. Paul,
was being detoured over the tracks Of
the Chicago Great Western road. Go.
ing at about thirty miles an hour, with
the engines running backward, in q
cut north of Green Mountain the train
struck spread rail, it is believed.
The tender of the pilot locomotive
jumped the track and with. terrific
force was buried in an embankment of
soft clay. A second locomotive, just
behind the first, rolled over and the
impact Of the sudden stop hurled all
the rear cars forward.
A coach, a smoker and a Pullman
car were smashed to splinters, almost
all the occupants being killed or in
jured. The superstructure of the Pull
man was literally shaved off and was
damned like a ramrod through the
smoker and day coach.
Many passengers were apparently

among the injured was indescrjbable.
Heads were severed from bodies and
arms and legs were cut off. The
wreckage was almost crimson with
blood, some of the bodies being
crushed beyond recognition by the
mass of twisted rails and splintered
cars. A few of the passengers were
courd still living, with a rod or a
splinter impaling them in the wreck.
Decapitated bodies were picked up and
it was almost impossible to correctly
assert the dismembered parts.
Injured Suffer Greatly.
The wreck occurred at point where
it was difficult to reach with prompt
relief. Such bodies as could be pulled
out were stretched out in an adjoin-
ing pasture. But first attention was
given to the wounded. The cries Of
these, coming from beneath the cars
and from places which were walled in,
were pitiable Fortunately the wreck
age did not take fire. The rescue
party, reinforced later on by trains of
wreckers, nurses and surgeons sent
from the nearest available points,
worked all day and until long after
dark.
The injured were rushed to hos
pital, several Of them dying on the
way.
An explanation given by the rail-
road was that the train was being de-
toured on account of a blockade due
to a freight wreck at Shellsburg, Ia.
The section from~St. Louis and the
section from Chicago had been con-
solidated at Cedar Rapids, Ia. They
were to have been uncoupled and run
as separate trains at Waterloo. The
st. Louis section is operated by the
Rock Island in conjunction with the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy. Fa-
talities occurred only in the first three
coaches. The rear coaches all re-
