CRIMINOLOGY
AND THE GIRL
By DON AID ALL E.



1t was generally known that during
his last ten years on the bench Judge
Vance made a close study of criminol-
ogy and administered justice ac-
cordingly. 1t came to be said that
he could tell criminal clear across
his court room. When the Judge came
to retire he said to his daughter
Gladys:
My girl, you should have a fad to
keep you busy. You don't take to
music or painting. You don't care
to go on the stage. You have said
nothing of botany or bugs. Take up
criminology."
but | shall never be a Judge or po-
liceman," was the reply.
"Of course not. but fads are good
things sometimes. Study the human
head and you learn nature. | have
book of drawings of all sorts of
heads. Look 1t over and impress them
on your mind. Should a tramp call
you, you want to know whether he
was a good or bad tramp. Should a
stranger apply for the place of gar
dener you should be able to tell
whether he Is an honest man or a
rogue. You make acquaintances
among your sex. You should be able
to pick out the hypocrites and liars. "
Thus, at IS, Gladys Vance be-
came student of criminology; at

derer whenever she saw him She
had studied the heads in her fathers
book. That is, she had looked at
them in a listless way half dozen
times in the year, and the remainder
Of the time had looked at something
else. She had never even looked at
a living head with an idea of analyz-
ing the character of Its owner. The
time was coming however.

RAILROAD COMMITTEE
VlCI0USLY ATTACKS an
JUDSON And UTILITIES
Especial from United Press.)


Hartford, June 1.-THE joint railroad
legislative committee gave out an
open letter today against the Senate
utilities bill and placed a copy on the
desk of every Senator and Represen-
tative In the latter the committee
attacks both the Business Mems Asso-
cis ton, Senator Stiles Judson of Strait
ford. The letter follows, in part:
THE Senate chairman of the Judic-
larry committee, il committee hearings,
manifested an unbecoming amount of
zeal for the business mems bill, so
much, in fact, that the proponents of
said bill were allowed the whole part
OF two legislative hearings and the
opponents, 0his committee with II
speakers of whom two were from. out
of the State) wese allowed 45 minutes
by the Senate chairman. This degree
of zeal has characterized his actions
and utterances through the legislative
campaign on this bill and in the Sem
ate, on Tuesday, June 6, the potency
of his personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT was
more prominent than the merits of his
bill
I'VE request you, therefore, to con-
slider the minority report more care
fully than was manifested by the gen
tleman from New London, (Whiton),
who advocated Immediate considera-
ton, on Thursday last, because this
committee has given many weeks to
it's consideration and urged 1t on all
sides and with all arguments, pro and
con, and can say at this moment the
bill Is pregnant with commercial and
industrial disaster, legislative hum
buggery, legal antiquities and conSti-
tutionaI difficulties"

OF DR..
DOWNS BEGINS
IN CITY COURT

Before Judge John r. Booth of the
Danbury City court, acting in place
of the incumbents of the Bridgeport
City court, the trial of DR.. F. B.
Downs, former medical examiner of
this city, and Clayton L. Wrisley of
Derby, charged with manslaughter in
connection with the death of Mrs.
Wrisley, Nov. 6 last, was begun in
the city court today.
Judge f. L. Wilder was disqualified
because Dr. Downs was his family
physician. Judge Carl Foster secured
Judge Booth to act in his stead, feel
ing that because of the personal rela
tons between the accused physician
and himself, he should not act in the
case.
Prosecuting Attorney William A.
Redden summoned four witnesses,
Medical Examiner Frank N. LOOMS
of Derby, DR.. r. w. Penney, Mrs.
Mary M. French and Mrs. Robert H.
Swift. DR.. Downs was represented by
Hon. Homer S. Cummings, former
mayor of Stamford.
The case was only fairly begun at
press hour this afternoon the open
ing contest of the trial being over
the admission of what purports to be
the dying statement of Mrs. Wrisley.
DR.. LOOMS and DR.. Penney were
examined at length as to what was
the exact condition of the dying wo-
man, and as to whether she was in
possession of the knowledge that
death was imminent when she enter
ed into conversation with the physi-
clans about her condition.
Clayton L. Wrisley who has been
in jail for q month awaiting the trial
was also called to the stand for a
few questions as to his wife's condi-
ton.
The court has not yet ruled on the
admiSsa bility of the statement.

counsel for the defence were DR.. c..

BERGER WILL
VOTE FOR THE
WOOL BILL
Especial from United Press.)

(SpGCldl ITOIH OIllIeQ fTeSS.J
Washington, June 14.-With the
hall filled, the House of Representa-
tives, today, heard-and cheered--
the first enunciation of the national
principles of Socialism ever delivered
on the floor, when Representative
Victor l.. Berger. of Wisconsin, was
accorded a reception and a hearing
that has seldom been equalled.
He pledged his support to the
Democratic wool revision bill be
cause it was in line with Social and
political evolution, because it tended
to break down the barriers between
nations and to bring into closer rela-
tons the various people of the
world"
He declared that there was no
such thing as protection for labor III
the tariff bills.
IF the workingman wants to be
protected he must commit a crime
Then he gets the protection of the
Jail or penitentiary.
THE average wages, the certainty
of employment, the social privileges
and the independence of wage earn
ing and agricultural population when
compared with the increase of wealth
and social production, are steadily
and rapidly decreasing. Some day
there will be a volcanic eruption. A
fearful retribution will be enacted on
the capitalistic clause as a class and
the innocent will suffer with the
guilty"

Attorney Holden
Branded By Dunn
AS A LOBBYIST
Especial from United Press.)

Hartford June 14-Previous to the
House session, today, Attorney Ben
jamin M Holden, of this city, and
Attorney Ralph o. Wells, the latter
representing the State Businessmen
Association, became involved in a
spirited debate regarding the pending
bills regulating public service corpor-
ations. The affair took place on the
floor of the House and the two men
were surrounded by about so Repre-
SentatiVeS.
Attorney Holden, lobbyist for pub
lie service interests, claimed that the
bill passed by the Senate, last week.
was unconstitutional and cited several
cases to uphold his contention. At
torney Wells claimed that the bill was
constitutional and that Governor
Baldwin had so stated.
Holden then offered to bet $500 that
Governor Baldwin would not state,
today. that the bill was constitutional.
He further quoted in Governor Bald
wins inaugural address, which Holden
claimed showed that Governor Bald
win wanted to increase the powers OF
the courts SO that the proposed COM
mission could have power to fix rates.
No one offered to take up Holden's
bet and he said that it would be open
for takers all day.
Attorney Wells said that Governor
Baldwin dissented in several cases
cited by Holden Speakers were inter-
rupted several times by Representa-
tives Garde of Cromwell and Barr, Of
of Suff1eld. Garde stated that there
were not over 10000 people in the
state who cared if a public utilities
bill passed the Legislature this session
or not.
Representative Barr replied that up
in his town the people cared because
they had just had an accident there
and they demanded regulation and
investigation of the railroads.
The discussion held the interest Of
all present, including Representative
Dunn, of Willimantic. Dunn finally
broke in on Holden: You are mixed
up here too much altogether. You're
crooked and you are trying to get the
House to disagree in this matter. But
the Senate bill is going to go through.
1t is only the lobby who is trying to
show that the minority bill is uncon-
stitutional."
Dunn's remarks caused an uproar
and the main discussion broke up into
many side debates. Personalities were
freely exchanged.
At this point Speaker Scott called
the House to order.

Majority Report
Was Not Signed
By The Majority
Especial from United Press,

Hartford, June 14.-Why is a ma
jority report? This question is being
asked in legislative circles, today, as
the result of the Judiciary commit
tees declaration, yesterday that only
two of its IL members signed the so
called majority report on public utili-
ties. This explains, according to many
observers, why the minority report,
socalled, passed the Senate with such
great ease. Also why there were 80
few advocates of the majority re-
port" when the House suddenly dis
played tendency to take up public
utilities out of the regular order, one
day last week.
But it does not explain, said a
prominent legislator, today, why the
report to the public service corpora
lions and only signed by two mem
bers, was allowed to come in to the
Senate with the advantage of the ma
jority's reputation. No members of
either branch of the legislature has
displayed the slightest desire to bring
up the subject for a formal investi-
cation and it will probably go down
as another of the mysterious "doings'
of the present session.

strikers to discuss the situation.

Southampton, June 1.-THE gen

International organlza ton, began, to-
day. Up to the present the move

Wilson, in charge of the strike head
quarters here, said he was satisfied
with the result. AS the steamers en-
ter their home ports, he said, the
union men will quit work and he pre-
dicted that within week the tie up
of shipping would be general.
Wilson and the other leaders say
that one reason why the strike did
not assume formidable proportions at
the outset was that many of the m en-
misunderstood the exact time to quit.
He also added that all union men
had been Instructed to fulfill their
contracts before deserving their en-
Payments.
Ship owners insist that they are
not apprehensive of the outcome.
They admit they will not be able 70
