DEATH BEST REMEDY.
JUDGE Holt Would Extermniate Habit
ual Enemies of Society.

Milwaukee, June 30.-"An habitual IN
corrgible enemy of society should be SOL
emnly adjudged to be put to death"
Judge George c. Holt of the United
States district court of New York made
this statement before the Wisconsin State
Bar Association Wednesday afternoon.
He spoke on THE Extent of Unpunished
Crime in This Country and the Remedies
for It," He said that the tendency to
mob violence and the extent of unpun-
ished crime were the greatest menaces
to American society.
Three hundred thousand persons have
taken part in lynchings in the country in
the last 40 years, according to Judge Holt,
every one of whom was guilty of murder
if he acted wilfully, yet no person has
ever been convicted of murder for taking
part in a lynching. He estimated that
there are 100000 unhanged murderers of
this type, most of whom live in the
Southern states.
Judge Holt said that in the Southern
states where Night Riders regulate to-
bacco cultivation by force, a condition Of
anarchy prevails He deplored the num-
Der of Black Hand murders and the num-
Der of persons killed annually by fast
automobile drivers, and the weakness of
the courts and the police to punish the
guilty

SCORES AUTO DRIVERS.
Judge Breezy of Philadelphia Says Ma
chine Running Is Now a Scandal.

Philadelphia, June 30.-"The fact
the running of automobiles regardless
of anybody's rights has become a pub
lie scandal is due to the supineness or
the people in not rising up and de-
manding that one class of people shall
not have practically exclusive use OF
the streets and roads of our city," de-
clared Judge Breezy Wednesday in dis
charging the June grand jury in the
criminal court,
There are, Of course" continued the
court, plenty of people who run tnelr
motor cars in a reasonable way, nut
there are also two other classes.
I'VE have first, class OF drivers
who are utterly lawless and brutal and
who regard no ones rights. The other
class, equally dangerous, is the young.
immature drivers of both sexes, VINO
have not the judgment to appreciate
the responsibility that goes with the
running of an engine on the pubhc
streets-for, after all, that is all that
an automobile is. 1t is an engine,
ocomotive-running on the city streets
and country roads.
ITO nv mind the reports which we
sec in the newspapers of hundreds OF
millions of dollars being spent for au-
tomobiles is an indication of the Wild
extravaganza which goes far beyond
what many people can afford, ana tnd-

VAIN RACE AGAINST DEATH.
Gate Tender Tries to Save Baby's Life
At Quincy, Mass.

Braintree, Mass, June 3O.-Little
Elizabeth Florence Kennedy, a beauti-
full 16-months- old child, the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. William Kennedy of
Hancock street, South Braintree,
Wednesday evening toddled onto the
railroad tracks in front of the fast
Cape Cod express and was killed be-
fore the engineer could stop his en-
gine.
The fatality took only an instant, but
in that instant Daniel Buckley, the
brave gatetender at the Plain street
crossing, lived an eternity. AS he
emerged from his shanty at the ap-
proach of the train and prepared to
flag the crossing Buckley happened to
look up the track in the direction from
which the train was coming and saw
sight that caused him to yell and
act at the same time.
There ON the track was the baby
entirely unconscious of the impending
danger, and there beyond her and
rushing upon her with speed that
showed no signs of slackening was the
Cape express
with yell Buckley dashed up the
track thinking perhaps to reach the
!ittle tot before the engine would reach
her. A fence which runs close to the
track at that point was just high
enough to cut off the view OF SO small
child from the gaze of the engineer
until it was too late for him to stop.
With the odds against him, although
Buckley didn't stop to think of that,
he rushed up the tracks waving his
flag like mad.
The engineer saw the racing tiagman
and knew instinctively that something
was amiss. He closed the throttle of
his engine and put on brakes, but in
another instant the locomotive had
struck the baby and rushed by Buck
ley The latter was so close TO the
train that he was almost struck him
self and when the express was brought
to standstill he was painting for
breath because of his run in the futile
race against death,
The baby was decapitatcd by the To-
comotive.
