THE SULLIVAN LAW
Designed for Thugs and Murderers'
Not for Law Abiding Citizens.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: II is almost a year since the SuliI-
van law became effective. and II may not
he out OF place 10 review what has or
has not been accomplished by that sample
of fool legislation.
As was anticipated by many VINO gave
the matter due consideration. the law has
had apparently no deterrent effect on the
thugs and gunmen. who have carried thei
weapons as freely as ever, ana. knowing
that the average law-abiding citizen "ould
be unarmed. have never before been so
bold or persistent in hold-ups. assaults.

In the mean time the respectable. law
abiding citizen is arbitrarily deprived or
his natural and constitutional rlght or
self protection The better the reason the
harder IL seems TO be to get permit 10

cd or refused without any rhyme or rea-
son. except the official humor AT the tiInc

calling. have 10 walk every day. ana

They never had any trouble In getting
permits 10 carry pistols until the ride
rlgus and outrageous Sullivan law was
passed. Then they were refused. one or
two were finally obtained through in
nucncc" which Is all wrong. II the IA"
had been intended for the good ot the
community. tho granting OF permits IN
such cases would have been made oDiga-
tory and without any exorbitant $40 fee
The mere fact OF man asking for a
permit to carry pistol shows he mas no
intention Of using IL unlawfully.
An eminent Justice Of the supreme
Court of New York told me personally
that the Sullivan law was certainly uh-
constitutional. and added that II was also
rotten. 7 have heard several lawyers eX-
press similar opinions. and even those
who AT nrst approved the law do not seem
to have much to say about any good re
suits from it. fANhhb

The question now Is less what the
President himself thinks may he the
Interpretation Of the Hay-Pauncefotc
treaty than what the Senate thinks OF
it. The situation is substantially this:
The Senate has passed bill which
seems to violate the Senates own con
struction Of the treaty. and it refuses
TO say that il does not intend TO do so.
In plain language the Senate says TO
the President Here is n bill tor
"the violation Of the Hay-Paunceiote
treaty. Sign it. or you shall have no
canal legislation" The only hitting
answer to that is q veto.

BIGAMlST LOSES TWO WIVES
Sparta Woman in Seeking Missing
Spouse in Madison Finds He
Has Another Helpmate.

Madison.-Judge Ray Stevens of
the circuit court has granted divorce
to two wives of f. II. Hancock, a
commercial traveller, and if he has
any more in Wisconsin they can get
similar relief by applying to the same
court.
The duplicity of Hancock was re-
vealed when Mrs. Agnes Hancock of
Sparta came here to find her miss
ing husband and found instead an
other wife of Hancock. The two
women compared photographs of
their husbands and discovered that
they were married to the same man.
Hancock married the Madison
woman several years ago A few
weeks ago he went through a mar
riage ceremony with the Sparta
woman and deserted her four days
later. When last heard from Han
cock was in Milwaukee.

MAKES MURDER CONFESSION
Short Note and Revolver Cartridge
Found Together in Bottle in
Chippewa River.

Eau Claire.--An old bottle, short
penciled note and .32 caliber re-
volver cartridge constitute the basis
of the second Eau Claire bottle mys-
terry III a month. The bottle was
found in the Chippewa river. The
note says:
Because l murdered sheriff of
Owen my body you will never find"
Under the word sheriff was word
which looked like Korn or Knox.
On the other side of the paper was
written:
ITO Whom 1t May Concern-I
committed suicide at the Chippewa
Dam on Aug. g."
The signature was blurred and
barely legible. 1t looks like Tony
Jackson or Tony Jacobson, ard after
the name was written: Stevens
Point"
On Aug. Constable Griffin, Owen.
Wis, was shot and fatally wounded
by a trio whom he sought to arrest.
The three escaped. Later two, sup
posed to be of the trio, were seen at
Eau Claire.
About month ago another bottle
was found in the river. A note bore
the name of Elmer K. Strong, Stew
ems Point. who said he had escaped
from the Waukesha industrial school.

GEN. DIAZ GIVEN DEATH
Sentence IN MEXICO
District Judge, However, Orders Pro
ceedlngs Stayed--Two Aids Also
Condemned.

Vera Cruz, Mexico, Oct 29.-The
court-mart1al on Saturday condemned
to death Gen. Felix Diaz, Major Ze-
rate, Col. Antonio Migoni and Lieuten-
ant Lima for their participation in the
latest Mexican revolt.
Lieutenant Camache and Capt. Her.
milo Martinez were sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment, and Gabriel Ra-
mos, customs collector, and Herman
Arostegui, censor of kilograms, were
sentenced TO two years imprison-
ment Nine other officers and civil
ans were allowed to go free.
The court-martial. which was pre-
sided over by General Davilla, sat in
secret session for 25 hours. The SEN
fences caused sensation. A great
crowd, including relatives and many
friends Of the accused men, gathered
outside the building where the court
sat. and waited for hours for the find
ings. notwithstanding heavy rain
storm
General Davilla refused to acknowl-
edge the orders of the district judge
to suspend the proceedings In the case
Of General Diaz and Major Zerate.
General Beltran, military commander
of the zone, however, accepted writ
Of habeas corpus and suspended the
executions, leaving the prisoners tenn
porarily at the disposition Of the dis
trict court.
1t Is thought probable that Colonel
Migoni and Lieutenant Lima will be
shot without much more ado.

RIOTS MAY BRING
j. S. INTERVENTION
Washington Anxious Over Situa'
ton in Cuba.
FORTY WOUNDED IN BATTLE
Bloodshed Feared Over Island Be-
cause of Intense Rivalry Between
Political Parties-Troops Are
In Readiness.

Washington, Oct. 2S-Great anxiety
for the stability of the Cuban repub-
lie has been aroused here, following
battle between Liberals and Con-
seryatives in Havana on Thursday at
a political rally, during which forty
persons were wounded. including two
women.
The battle, In which several hun
dred shots were fired, broke out In
Central park at the close OF meet
ing of supporters of V!ce-President
Alfredo Zayas, one of the presiden-
tial candidates. The rioters were dis
persed by cavalry and police.
The serious situation in Cuba. as
demonstrated by the riot, Is exciting
the grave solicitude OF the United
States government Reports indicate
that there are good grounds for the
apprehension that has existed for
some time among officials here that
the approaching election period in
Cuba would be a most critical test Of
the stability of the island republic.
Between now and next Friday, cleo
ton day, many political meetings are
to be held throughout the island. with
every indication that there will be
stormy clashes between the two great
parties, like the one It Havana. Even
If the Gomez government is able to
handle these prediction riots, OIL
ciais fear that the defeated party Will
not abide by the results. but Will
break out in open revolution.
Now it has available working pro-
ject for the dispatch to Cuba OF a suf-
ficient force-probably about l5.sOO
men-to take charge Of the island IL
conditions should arise corresponding
to those prevailing when the Palma
administration collapsed. making it
necessary for the United States to
carry out its treaty obligations
The Cuban situation probably will
have the immediate attention of Presi-
dent Taft when he returns to Wash
fngton.

80 CONTINUATION
SCHOOLS IN STATE
Maximum Number to Receive
State Aid Established.
FOR INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION
Thirty Cities Have Raised 100000
by Local Taxation-Others Ready
to Meet Requirements 1t Legislature
Provides for More Sch ools.

Madison-Thirty schools in Wis
consin have arranged for continue
tion schools in which industrial edu-
cation will be the leading feature.
This is the maximum number for
which state aid was provided by the
legislature of 1911; other cities stand
ready to establish such schools as
soon as future legislative enactments
shall entllle them to state aid. There
has been raised by local taxation in
the thirty cities 100000, while the
total state aid is limited to $35, 900,
and this speaks loudly of the faith
Of people in the value of providing
for the educational needs Of those
whom the regular schools do not
reach.
AS tersely stated by Warren e.
Hicks, assistant superintendent of
industrial education, Continuation
activity is to get instruction in indus
try, not to get persons out of indus
try" In addition to the Industrial
work, all continuation schools must
give instruction in English, citizen
ship, business practice, physiology
and hygiene and safety devices. Reg
ulations have been made to prevent
any interference on the part of in
dustrial schools with the regular
schools and vice versa. A child must
have completed at least the fifth
grade before he is permitted to at
tend a continuation school. Classes
made up of part continuation schools
pupils and part regular school pupils
are forbidden.
