STRONGLY URGE
DEATH PENALTY
Brother of Murdered WemaH
Makes His Reply.

Jersey City, N. j., Aug. 14.-G. W.
Eigenrauch of Hudson City, brother OF
Mrs. Mary Hall, who was murdered at
Croton Lake, N. Y, by the seven men
who were executed at Sing Sing, N. T.,
does not agree with Mrs. Champ
Clark as to the proper disposition OF
murderers. He says:
GAS a brother to the deceased Mrs.
Hall 1 beg to differ greatly on the
question Of capital punishment from
Mrs. Clark.
"In reply to Mrs. Clark's quotation
from Bulwer Lytton that the worst
use you can put a man to Is to hang
him and her opposition to taking a
life which you cannot give l beg TO
ask could these scoundrels who so
brutally murdered my sister give a hui
man llfe7
"In my estimation Mrs. Clark does
not consider this very important fact
Furthermore, Mrs. Clark's plan OF
placing these men to work on the pub
lis roads and parks would mean the
abolition Of capital punishment, which
at the same time would mean an 1nvi-
tation to greater crime In this country.
"There are hundreds Of this class OF
criminals at the present time that,
should capital punishment be abol-
ished, would long for al opportunity
whereby they could not only obtain
revenge and money, but, In fact, any
thing that may stand In their way.
while I am not exactly in favor OF
capital punishment, l do think that
were some of the tortures of the six
teenth century brought back to exist
ence for a few years crime would be
entirely abolished.
II feel surprised to hear remarks OF
this kind made by a thoroughly edu-
Gated American, born under the stars
and stripes.
II further trust hat Mrs. Clark will
never lose any Of her dear beloved
ones in a like manner, never know the
anguish borne by those surviving"

llndertakers.

In England in 1G14 undertakes were
men of influence who undertook Tor 6
consideration to get such persons re-
turned to parliament as would prove
submissive to the royal will Of King
James 7. The three chief undertakers
Of 1914 were Lords Bacon, Somerset
and Neville. They undertook to brioe
the chief speakers and men OF inau-
ence in parliament that year over to
the side of the king, with but partial
success. Then there were undertakers
in Ireland in 1908. They were English
and Scotch colcnists sent to north Ire
land and were each allotted 1000 acres
of land. They were men Of capltal
and undertook TO pay q mark year
for every six acres and to admit no
rccusant fer tenants: hence the name
as applied to them. But neither the
histories nor the dictionaries give any
reason for calling the men who bury
our dead undertakers.

contention was correct-that few peo.
ple know the change possibilities. He
showed that two pfennig piece could,
Of course. be changed but once and q
Eve pfennig piece only three times and
a ten pfennig only FIVE times The rise
begins with the twenty-five pfennls
coin. which can be changed slxty-four
times; the fifty pfennig piece 406 times
and mark-100 pfennigs-2 953 lines.
The big figures come with LIE two mark
piece. or note. which can be changed
e1, ,es4 times; the three mark note 39l,-
$50 times and five marks 5,229,22l
times. From this point the figures
grow to almost impossible proper
tions," said the lecturer. a twenty
mark piece can be divided or changed
in 33,23C. .24s,752 ways. Allowing thir-
ty seconds for each change operation,
it would require 1876 days 2 hours II
