SUGGESTS REFORMS IN
 CRININA LSTATUTES

OMAHA, Neb.. Oct. 1S.-Quoting President Taft as saying that 1.-The administration of criminal law in this country is disgrace to civiliza- tion." Judge C. A. De Courey, of Lawrence. Mass, justice of the Su- perior court of Massachusetts, before the American Prison association to- night pointed out that the United States was conspicuous for the great number of unpunished murderers.
 The defense of insanity, the limita- tiOn of the power of judges and the character of testimony allowed jo be introduced in behalf of the defend ant, were some of the evils which, he said, ought to be rectified
 ''The number of homicides in this country for 1910 were S975-an in crease of nearly 900 over the number in 1909; vet but one in SC were cap itally punished in 1910 as against one in 74 during the year preceding, v said Judge De Courey
 ''It is said that in 1896 for each million of the population there were llS homieides in the United States; in Italy less than l6; in Canada less than 13; in Great Britain less than 9: in Germany less than ,.
 .'In the last year in London. with a population of seven millions. there were but nineteen eases of murder. Of the nineteen murderers five com mitted suicide All of the others ex- cept four were arrested and either convicted and executed or committed to the insane asylum.
 ''In New York City, 1l9 cases of homicide were investigated by the grand jury during the last year, but only 45 convictions resulted. Chicago reports 202 homicides were committed in that city during the last year. Only one of the offenders was hang ed; fifteen were sent to the peniten- tiary and the others were set free. In Louisville, with population of 224.000, during the last year there were 47 eases of homicide and not a single murderer was hanged. In al- abama for the two years ending September 30, 1910, 63O cases or homE eide were disposed of and the death penalty was imposed in but ? cases. In North Carolina in the last year there were Al hOmicides, and in Ohio 191, and in each an absurdly small number capitally punished. The report of the Attorney General of Texas, states that there were l04S in- dictments for murder Tn that state during the years 1909 and 1910 and undoubtedly a large number of homi- cides in addition for which no in- dictment was found.
 "In Alabama conviction for stealing hides was recently set aside because the indictment failed to sta;c whether they were mule, COW, goat or sheep hides. And indIcimenr- were dismissed because father was spelled farther Gin South Carolina) ; because the letter ''i' was omitted in spelling malice Gin Alabama)."
 Judge De Courey then suggested some criminal law reforms which in- cluded simplified forms of indiet- ments, changes in the selections Of iuries and in the rules governing pleadings.

LABOR DISPUTES
 AFFECT MARKET
Cotton More Nervous and Unsettled-FluctuatiOns
 Were Irregular

New York, December A.-Reports that labor disputes in Lancashire spinning cir cles might result in a general strike or lockout tended to render the cotton mar ket still more nervous and unsettled to- day and fluctuations were very Irregular with the close barely steady at net de- cline of to Il points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 2 points on December, bu@ gen orally unchanged to 3 points lower, and during the middle of the morning sold off to net loss of to 10 points under renewal of local bear pressure, llquida- tion by recent buyers for turn and the appearance of heavy selling orders in the hands of the spot brokers, who were heavy buyers early in the week. Disap- pointing cables and the talk of labor troubles abroad were evidently the fac tors, but the early offerings were well absorbed on scale down. and the market during the middle of the day rallied rather sharply on a renewal of bull support and continued covering for over the holidays, much of which seemed to come from Memphis and New Orleans.
 DecemDer ana January contracts mdue new high grounds for the movement on this bulge, selling ? to 6 points above the closing figures of yesterday. but the upward movement was checked point over yesterdays finals on later deliveries, and the market later broke sharply, owing to withdrawal of bull support and scat tering liquidation, with the close at prac- tical1y the lowest level of the day. Re ports that the western belt was offering spot cotton more freely were probably factor in the late trading, and in con- nection with the unfavorable trade re- ports from abroad constituted practically the only fresh feature in the days news. Private cables from Liverpool reported that the market there had been unfav orably influenced by larger offerings of actual, as we'll as by the unfavorable labor situation in Manchester, and Liver pool was @ heavy seller here during the early trading.

 GROWING BETTER Morris Avenue Business Men We'll Pleased-The
 Turkey Demand Good

The holiday trade on Morris avenue seems to be growing better each day. Business yesterday was very good and wagons were kept busy all day mak- ing deliveries. The shipping trade was comparatively as heavy as local business.
 In the produce markets several ship ments of nuts were received, together with carload lots of oranges, apples and other fruits, all of which seemed to be in good demand. Prices for produce, how ever were not changed.
 Turkeys were the heaviest sellers in the fowl markets. The demand for other fowl was only fair at 10c for hens and 14 and 15 cents per pound for flyers. Live turkeys are offered at 16 and r cents pound and dressed turkeys at IS and 20 cents.
 Several cars of feedstuffs were received by grain merchants, business in that linz also being above normal.
 Quotations are as follows:

COURT ASKS VOTE
 SELLERS TO CONFESS

Knoxville, December 21.-Judge l. s. Keen of Lee county, Virginia, today is sued a proclamation in which he invited all who sold their votes in recent pri- mary in that county to appear before the court, to confess and otherwise accept the minimum fine It is asserted if this is not done indictments will be returned and prosecutions follow. The court will allow those pleading guilty to pay fines. The Virginia sumptary law automatically dis franchises voter for life upon confess sion or conviction of fraud in election.
 Despite this. however. it is expected that hundreds will enter the confessional. The grand jury, it is averred. has obtained names of men who sold their votes and has returned 200 true bills. The body ad- journed until February to await further eXidNnce.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, December 21.-tSpeciaD.-A threatened strike in Lancashire over a union dispute seriously affected the Iiv- erpool market which did not respond to the strength here.
 Despite the adverse foreign advices our market opened firm on Wall street buy ing, probably largely due 10 covering be- fore the holidays the south appeared as large sellers as did several of the spot houses so that before the close the mar lket became weak, closing at a decline of 10 points. This reaction is not unexpected by the spot houses who while considering cotton reasonable and a purchase on all declines do not feel that the upward movement will be a continuous one but subject at all times to many sharp fluct- nations. December maintains Its prem ium over January.
 The feeling tonight was that the south would be free sellers on any advances. Liverpool should be to 3 points lower in the morning

PERFECT WEATHER
 IN HE ARGENTINE
Laid Heavy Hand on Wheat and Indirectly on all
 Other Grain

Chicago December 21.-Argentine re- ports of perfect harvest weather laid a heavy hand today on wheat and indirect ly on all other grain. Closing figures were at a net decline of 24a7sc to 1@llsc. Latest trading left corn a4a7sc down. oats 3s@1c off, and hog products varying from last nights level to 71ac below.
 So many shorts had covered their lines of wheat on the closing bulge yesterday that the market was left without that class of support There was no fresh buy ing incentive in the domestic news so that prices responded at once to the de- pressing effect of dispatches from South America. Besides fine weather in the Ar genuine the bulls had faced increased esti- mates of exportable surplus in that coun- try.
 Furthermore, favoring rains and snow fall in the winter wheat sections of the dency toward a rally. An additional weight on the market was the fact that owners were uneasy about attempting to carry holdings over the holidays ahead. This feeling became a decided factor when word was received that Minneapolis, Du- luth, Kansas City and St Louis as we'll as Chicago expects to close Saturday. As a result final prices were steady and at nearly the lowests point of the session. Between the opening and windup, May ranged from 9S14c to 9ssc. with latest sales s4DIsc down. at 9Sssd9S1kc.
 Disappointment was thick in the corn pit at the way in which the effect of the general wet weather had been taken ad- vantage of before hand. In consequence bulls were unloading futures right and left, while prices were sagging in sym pathy with wheat. May fuctuated from 6414c to 55,sc, closing weak at 644@64ssc, a loss of &c net. There was a little furry in the cash market. Shippers were un- able to forward in time for delivery this month, buying the No. grade in lively fashion at the sample tables quoted and paying 1c advance. No. yellow was quoted at 72c for old.
 Oats were keavy all day because of a belief that Argentine shipments would find entrance to the Atlantic ports of the United States despite 15c duty. The Ar genuine exportable surplus was said to be more than double that of a year ago.
 Top and bottom figures touched by the May option were S43sc and 47%c, with the close at the last named level, a decline of 3dc from last night.
 There was free selling of provisions by houses with foreign connections. One req son was that the weeks packing showed huge increase as compared with year ago. In the end pork was 50 to 71hc lower and lard and ribs easing off, but not to exceed a nickel.
