He cited numerous authorities in support of his contention that Morse could not be sen fenced legally in gross, admitting that this point never had been passed on by the supreme court
 He said there was no doubt that Morse could obtain his release on a ha- beas corpus writ after he had served 10 yeaSs of his sentence, but argued he was entitled to know in advance the legal length of his term, because if it was 10 years he was privileged to ap- ply for parole much sooner than he would if it was 5 years.

TALKED TO SOCIALISTS.
Charles Curtis of Hartford Heard on
Economic Deternninsn.

Economic Determinism was the sub
Ject of an instructive talk by Charles
Curtis of Hartford before the meet
ing of the socialist party on Thursday
evening in their hall in the Stead
building. There was an unusually
large attendance.
Mr.. Curtis argued that economic
conditions at the present time mace
it impossible for the poor to improve
their condition. while the rich were
enjoying ever-increasing advantages
The economic interests of the CAPT.
talist class and the wage earning
class are directly opposed and it is
the economic condition of the people
that is responsible for crime prostitu-
ton. poverty and insanity. Under
present conditions it was even impoa-
sible to live the life that Christ tuagl1t
and there was no equal chance for all.
But under correct conditions all these
evils of society would be done away
with.
Mr.. Curtis is a commercial traveller.
whose home is in Hartford. He has
been active in the socialist work for
fourteen years.
