Against Capital Punishment.
Senator Christian Will Make Il Spec

(Spt cial to the Tires. }

When Senator Christian, OF Boone
county. was an inquisltIve lad OF
ten, he witnessed in Stoddard coun-
tv. Mo, the execution of a man who
afterwards proved innocent of the
crime of which he had been convict
cd 1t made such a great impression
on his Young mird that lie resolved
Nhcn he became q man he would
try 10 become a law make and do
VIVA he could to prevent such ms
carriages of Justice. Although a ke-
publican in a Democratic district,
he was elected to the Arkansas
Senate, and is now ma ing a hard
fight to cure the evils which SO I'M
pressed his youthful mind,
Hc recalls the fact that in the Mis-
souri case the man who was
hanged claimed an alibi and could
have proven it had hi wife been
permitted to testify in his behalf
which was denied by the courts.
To remedy this he offered a bill pro-
viding that in any case, civil or
criminal. q husband may call his
wife to testify, and Il wife may call
her husband 10 testify in all court
proceedings where either may he

This, however is only supple
mcntarv to his chief reform. which
is to abolish capital punishment III
the st tc of Arkansas His bill,
which is being received with favor
bv the law makers, provides that
"cvery person convicted OF murder
in the first degree or as accessory
before the fact to such murder, shall
be sentenced to undergo imprison-
mcnt in the penItentiary for a period
of not ,ess than - nor more than
Is years.
The taking of human life by
court decree is no less murder IN the
sight of God than the deliberate
shooting down OF a fellow mortal
declares the senator, at is q relic
of barbarsm that should have no
place in our enlightened civilization.
Many other states have abolished
capital punishment, as well as many
OF the European countries, and 1t Is
time Arkansas should join in this
Christian reform. Kansas does not
hang its murderers, although 1t has
been public sentiment rather than
statute that has stopped the prac,
ticc." There are several condemned
murdcrcrs awaiting the fixing OF the
date of their execution, but no GOV

The scenic investiture of kellogg is a
reproduction of woodland, in which the
performer in appropriate costume ap-
pears and gives his demonstration of the
singing of birds, in the tone, pitch and
range peculiar to each variety. He. eX-
plains everything in his production and
concludes his limitations with six graphic
phones containing bird song records he
has made with his own voice, which &C
company him in a chorus of grand pro-
portions. Two interesting experiments
are also performed by him. One is with

The presentations by the Irish Players
who are now appearing at the Belasco
arc in frank departure from. If not in
defiance of. the stage conventions. The
| light-hearted repartee Of the Celtic char
acter is absent The wit is keen, but the
| Interchange Is always in bitter retaliation.
! The element of humor. If it can be said
| to be present at all. is so blended with
the reminder Of lifes unrelenting ext
! gencieS that it becomes the most poignant
! pathos The laugh that rises to the lips
/ is checked by tug at the heart strings.
/ Such is the impression left by the three
plays. Kathleen Nj Houlhan," The
| house Ward which last night constitut
cd the opening program of the engage
ment.
| The members OF the cast in each little
drama became realities rather than types,
and the characters are presented with
Such direct disregard of customary stage

| even though admiration for the com
pleteness of craftsmanship cannot be
withheld The auditor is not the guest
at scenes of festivity or sorrow into
whose spirit he can enter with quick re-
Spouse of thought and sentiment. His
is the attitude of the intruder into small
groups Of people away from the big and
general world. where happiness is Scant
and where the conditions are too init
mate and complex to be Understandings
grasped by casual observation from an
orchestra chair.
Yet the impression of photograph fidel-
ity is there. So much detail is introduced
that is unessential to narrative yet SO
harmonious with the integral scheme that
the result is accepted as the attainment
of an alert mind. uncom promising in the
pursuit of simple verify and an eye
trained to the most minute observation.
Indeed, SO minute is the observation that
the pictures impress themselves as studies
too accurate in detail to cover any but
limited range Of characters or conditions.
Every stroke is laid on with the I'M
wavering touch of an artist whose genius
has bound itself to consider only so much
as it can express with intiexihle fidelity
10 fact as it has brought within his own
range of perception.
The first play. Kathleen is symbol
ism. patriotic in motive with weird note
of mystery sounding through and above

it was well acted. The Well of the Saints
is no fairy story of l1ghtsome moods but
rigorous revelation of heart hunger

commingles pathos with broad humor. In
