MOVING PICTURE DEXEIOPMEN

(From Nature aud Science In Fehru-

Raindrops do not always have the

MAY Be RIGHT TO
COMMIT MURDER
Suicide, Also, Is Unsuitable at
Times, Says Eminent Brain
Specialist.

Philadelphia, Jan. Is.--Dr. Edward
A. Spitxka, the noted brain special
LIST Of the Jefferson Medical College.
declared yesterday at meeting OF
the Protestant Episcopal Clerical
brotherhood that murder and suicide
were at times iustinable." His as
sertion, which caused a sensation. was
made In reply to questions put by a
clergyman after listening to an adj
dress by Or. Spltzka.
There are times when murder and
even suicide appeals to n normal mind
as justinable. breaking no law and
perhaps as tho only human way out
of horrible situation" and DR.. Spitx-
ka. Take for instance, a soldier
who is to be hanged as a spy or mutt =.

there Is no escape, ard armed with a
weapon. kills himself think this
case IL justihable suicide
Now, in answer to the other oues-
tion. is tho taking or ending Of hu-
man life ever justified? Aside from
legal homicide, such as an electrocu-
tion. the physician is sometimes con-
fronted with the problem of saving a
human being uncomfortable torture
by giving grain OF morphia. Take
a railroad accident The physician is
face TO face with 4 human being PEN
ned under a train and suffering agony.
One grain OF morphia viii end It all.
1t Is not uncommon for a physician to
have to face this situation. and 7 will
say that under some circumsta nc as
ne is justified in using Ills iudgme NJ
and giving relief IN the scmhlance OF
death to the sufferer"
DR.. Spitzka was asked what he thought
OF phrenology. He replied that the so
called science" was in error. ilo denied
the theory Of criminal brains.
Determination of brains by the LON
broso school shows that great criminals
had finely developed brains, while IN
many cases the so-callcd criminal brain
has been found after death In people
whose lives were moral and lovahle."

HOUSE MAY SETTLE
REINFORCEMENT
Plan Based on Census to Be
Presented This Session.

Washington, Dec 23.-An appor-
tionment law refixing the basis of rep.
resentation in the house OF represen-
tatives is practical certainty at this
session of congress.
Representative Crumpacker (Rep.,
Ind.), chairman of the house census
committee, declared that the commit
tee will present bill based upon the
new census and that work prelim-
mary to settling the number of inhab-
itants to be represented by each MEM
ber of the house is already under way.
Crumpacker declared that a reap
portionment measure Is of the highest
privilege on the floor and that its con-
sideration cannot be blocked If 1t is
called up.
Crumpacker, 1t became known, has
had several conferences with Champ
Clark, the minority leader. and it is
believed the committee bill will show
traces of Democratic influence.
Two experts In the census bureau
are now at work on plans for reappor-
tionment under the direction Of the
house committee.
One plan contemplates holding the
house membership below 400.
