WHEN STATE TAKES LIFE
HEIRS LOSE INSURANCE
Argument Made in Suit to Re-
sist Payment of McCue
Life Policy.

Does the execution of q murderer free
life insurance companies from paying the
insurance carried on his life?
That question was before the Supreme
Court of the United States today for an
swer as an outcome of the execution Of
James S. McCue, mayor Of Charlottesville,
Va for the murder Of his wife in 1904.
Argued by Counsel.
The case was up for argument. as a pre-
liminary to decision by the court. y
decision is not expected for several weeks.
William H. White of Richmond, Va. and
William II. White, jr., OF Norfolk, Va,
have been in the city several days to
argue for the Northwestern Mutual Life
Insurance Company that the $4,000 in
surance on McCueS life should not be
paid to McCue's orphans. II. w. Walsh
and d. Harmon of Charlottesville, Va,
are here fighting for the heirs.
Needs of the Orphans.
THE needs of dependent Children the
attorneys argued in brief for the chill
dren. "are no less because their father Is
hanged but such a tragedy, by diminish.
ing their advantages and opportunities In
life greatly enhances their needs and con-
dtion of dependence. and when the in
surance policy does not Stfpulate Tor the
commission of crime it shou d require
something more than mere technical rea-
soning to read into the contract an eX-
ception which neither party actually had
in mind.
Answering the argument that the pay
ment would tend to encourage suicide, the
attorneys declared that one seeking death
for such a purpose would adopt more
certain method.

Detriment to the Service.

Moreover, a policy OF this kind would
have a most deadening effect upon the
officers. We can only hope to keep our
officers up to a high standard of efficiency
by calling upon them for continued pro-
gressive work as instructors. The long
enlistment and re-enlistment system
means no reserve and an inefficient army.
due to the inevitable inertia of our COM
missioned and enlisted personnel which
much result from such a system. The
term OF active service should be brought
down to the shortest time consistent with
thorough instruction, and as many men
as possible should be passed through the
regular army or militia and assembled
into an organized reserve under condi-
tons discussed in this report. The estab-
lishment of q general service corps has
been repeatedly recommended by the War
Department, and will result in great
economy and improved efficiency

Re-Enlistment Discouraged.

1T is desirable to retain in the service
most Of the non-commissioned officers and
some OF the technical enlisted personnel;
with the exception of these, re-enlistment
should not be encouraged. but. on the
contrary, the men should be thoroughly
instructed in their duties as soldiers, pass
ed into d reserve and returned to their
civil occupations. The statement so often
made that these men would not return to
the colors in time Of war is, in my opin-
ion, entirely unfounded and is an I'M
warranted reflection on the patriotism of
men who have served with the colors
and returned to civil life, 1 believe they
will return.
1T is most important, to insure prompt
mobilization, however. that they should
be organized into q reserve. and that the
form of enlistment should be so modi-
fed as to provide a certain period of
service with the colors and a certain
period of service in the reserve. This
matter is now under consideration by the
general staff. A system which encour-
ages accomplishment and tends to keep the
majority of the enlisted personnel in the
army up TO the time of retirement is, in
the first place, Il most expensive system.
as energy and money would be expended
from year TO year on d body of men a
large portion of whom have repeatedly
gone through the course of instruction
and are growing each year physically
less fitted for hard service.

T0EXTENS|ON
Of ENLISTMENT PERIOD
Gen. Wood Says the Army
Should Be Largely a Train
ing School.

The pending proposition to lengthen the
army enlistment period to five years is
distinctly adverse to the best interests of
the army. says Maj. Gen. Wood, chief Of
staff. in report to the Secretary of War
on that subject. Such extension" he
says, sis contrary to the modern tendency
OF military organizations. and would
mark a very serious step backward. In
this country. where We maintain only
small permanent military establishment
and depend largely upon citizen soldiery,
the army should be regarded largely as a
training school, and as many enlisted men
as possible should be put through each
year with a view to their going into a
reserve. This Is what Is being done In all
the great nations of Europe, including
the republics of France and Switzerland
and the more progressive countries of
South America. To lengthen the term of
enlistment to five years would not only
reduce the number Of men passing under
instruction, but would have a tendency to
encourage a certain class of men to re-
main permanently in the army, and to
discourage altogether another class, prob
ably the best class, from enlistment.
