CONTROL OF vIv1sECTI0N.
Practices Behind Closed Doors the
Rule Strongly Condemned.

Editor The Washington Herald:
1t is strangely incomprehensible, yet
nevertheless true, that upon the occasion
of the recent meeting in this city Of the
International Humane Congress the all
important subject of vivisection was
rigidly excluded from the programme.
And this at an age of worldwide hu-
manitarianism with exceptional activity
along this line.
That those most active in the cause
were ignominiously turned down with
no redress but to Go way back and sit
down tells its own story. The sole ex-
PLANTATION given by the chair was that
the subject would destroy the harmony
of the proceedings.
By many this attitude was regarded as
based purely upon selfish considerations.
the chairman being a prominent prac-
ucing physician. That no protest was
raised by those most Intimately concern
ed but goes to prove that halfway meas
ures are not the wisest course in matters
of vital significance.
Is it to be wondered at that the gen.
eral public. whose opportunities for study
ing the question are comparatively slim,
cious cruelties daily and hourly prac-
tced in the name of science, more par
ticularly in the Federal laboratories under
governmental control, such for instance
as the Bureau of Animal Industry? 1t is
for this reason, and with the view of
arousing public sentiment in order to
influence legislation in favor of COM
pulsory humane methods, that the Society
for sHumane Control of Vivisection was

private life, with Thomas Nelson Page
as its first president. Mrs. William Taft
being among the incorpOrators. 1t is not
upon the shoulders of the few, however.
influential, that the real responsibility
rests, but upon the masses. the real
makers of legislation. that the work of
reform devolves.
Unfortunately for united action. COM
paratively few are aware of the
facts. or would credit the tortures that
are systematically practiced in the name
of science in every hospital and clinical
college of the civilized world, and while
such enlightened countries as England
have passed laws for the proper conduct
of such work under strict State inves-
tigation, the United States, with it's
boasted spirit of enlightenment. is far
behind in this respect-to our shame be
1t said.
When it is realized that in ninety mine
out of every hundred institutions, vivi-
section is performed behind closed doors
and that any suggestion to admit legal
lied inspectors is violently resented, some
conception of the conditions may be
imagined. The bare telling of these
methods would scarcely be credited in
all its inhuman practices, yet the society

Robin Charged with Theft of &2S7,-

grand jury against Joseph G. Robin, the
banker. charging him with stealing $oN,-

of which he was president.
These added to the indictment found
last week charging him with the theft Of
$4,000 from the same institution, brings
the amount he is accused of taking from
the Washington Bank up to $2S7.0o0.
This in all probability does not repre-
sent the entire amount of Robins thefts
from the savings bank, for the grand jury
has not finished it's examination of
Robins dealings with the Washington.
The operations which led to the closing
of the Northern Bank have yet to be
gone into.

ROUNDING THE INJURED
Rrockton Times.l

The report comes from Bridgeport that the hospital authorities have had much difficulty in guarding the people injured in the wreck of the Federal Express from the unwelcome atten- tions of lawyers of the despicable va riety known as ambulance chasers. Why hospital officials should have diff ficulty in excluding any undesirable visitors is not clear, yet the report serves to illustrate how far these men, a disgrace to their profession, will extend their pernicious activities in their eagerness to get business. Their business is to urge damage suits, which they themselves expect to con- duct and for which their pay will be a very considerable part of the dam age, if collected. Good lawyers do not solicit business, and this fact should be kept in mind by those contemplat- ing making a claim for damages; yet the injured one is in many cases ig- norant, perhaps a foreigner, with lit tie conception of the customs of this country, and willing to give his case to the first smooth lawyer who offers to take it up. There should be some effective way of protecting these peo- pie from the solicitations of these dis reputable legal sharks who make a speciality of this kind of business.

 revise it's definitions, and consent to see that representative government in Connecticut is the General Assembly in Connecticut, with its lobby and it's corruption, it will have little difficult ty in seeing the advantages of the initiative and referendum.
 When the people think of "repre- sentative" government, they think of the purchase of votes, of the buying of delegates, of the corruption of conventions; of the expenditure of huge sums of money by candidates for office; of charges of shame leveled against the General Assembly by members of it; and of a brazen lobby, which much of the time de- nominates it. They think of repre- sentative government as it is. and, reaching the conclusion that it is un- representative government, turn % the initiative and referendum.
 The virtue of these measures is that they bring to the people power to repudiate the dangerous bargains of unrepresentative government. will make the whole machinery of corruption useless. It will not be worth the time of the interests to influence the General Assembly, or the conventions that precede them. if the unholy results of the bargaining g can be repudiated at the ballot box.
 The demand for the initiative and referendum in this state proceeds up- on the idea that there is no repre- sentative government in Connecticut, except that growing out of the sys- tenn which gives rise to the General Assembly.
 The knowledge exists that this rep resentative government is, much of the time not representative. The purpose is to make it repre- sentative by destroying the power of the General Assembly to put into eff feet measures that are repulsive to the people.
 We hope that our contemporaries, in discussing the initiative and refer endum hereafter, will consider the effect of such legislation upon the General Assembly and the methods of the Gerferal Assembly.
 The substitution of General As
 sembly'' for representative govern
 ment' will be a surprising aid to clear thought.

Insane Man With An Axe TerroriZeS
 Greenwich Folk

Greenwich, July 29-A man who said his name was Thomas Brander and who came to this place from New York two weeks ago ran amuck yes- terday afternoon and before he was restrained knocked three men down with an axe and pounded a fourth. The trouble started when Brander at- tackled Andrew Grady, a small sized man, a foreman in a stable. Bystan- ders went to Grady's assistance and Brander grabbed an axe. Henry Gore tel was struck under the left ear and knocked down; John Repite received the back of the weapon on the head and was laid out for a while, and Fritz Wiegand was struck with the handle and knocked into the middle of the road.
 Having disposed of the four men Brander entered tfe factory of the Mertz Leather company by the front door and most of the employees left by a rear entrance except one, who picked up piece of iron pipe and hid ing behind a post, hit Efander on the head as he passed, rendering him Nn- conscious.
 Some of those. who had fled re. turned and bound Brander hand ano foot and turned him over to the au- thorities. Later he was sent to 2 Portchester hospital for treatment The condition of those assaulted by Brander is not serious.

"A
 :, Gn the Syracuse Post-Standard) To the Editor:
 Before I came to this country from Greece I heard that this country is free, but I don't think so. It is free for the Americans, not for the shoe sinners. In this city are too many shoe sinners stands, and the boys which work there-they work fifteen hours a day, and Sunday, and almost eigh- teeen on Saturdays. They make on- ly from SIP to SIS month and board, but we. don't have any good board neither but our patrons give us bread, tea and a piece of cheese for dinner, supper, but no breakfast. We don't have any time to go to the church, not in school and without them we won't be good citizens. They won't let us read newspapers, because they are afraid if we learn something we will quit, but we can't quit because we can't speak English, and we can't find another job. Now I don't mean the boys working in the barber shops They make $10 to SIS week, and they don't work as hard as we do We wish to work as they do. We want the public and MT. Mayor tc cut the hours from fifteen to ten
