LAX LAWS CAUSE MURDER
MANIA, SAYS HARRISON

Chicago, Oct. 2~1.-Deploring the lax
ity Of the criminal law in America,
which fixes only d light penalty for
rison advocated an entire overhauling
ing on the shooting of Colonel Roose-
welt.
He blames the frequent attempts on
the lives of public men on the laws
which do not allow the courts to fix the
extreme penalty on would-be assassins.
He explained that the men who COM
nit these deeds do SO in the hope of
escaping. AS an example, he pointed
out the apparent inability of the Chi
cage courts to convict women accused
of murder.
This thing of allowing them to get
off with a light sentence or a small
fine is an outrage" he said.
"Wha shocks me and comes bach
with eyer-increasing emphasis when
ever one of the occurrences is reported
is this tendency in America today.
Though we pride ourselves on being
q national free people, where there is
freedom of speech and few restraints
in that respect, yet we outclass Russia
in assassins. We have lost three presi-
dents that way. 1t is the act Of mania
| can see no other reason.
'Looseness of law is one of the con-
tributing clements which probably are
measured by the would-be assassins
Failure OF courts to prosecute in such
cases to the extreme limit enters and
Increases the general tendency of per-
sons to resort to violence"

was thrown from his balloon at q
height of three miles by the explosion
of the gas bag, which Is believed to
have been struck by lightning. His
aide Lieutenant Steler. also was killed.
Gericke and Steler were making q
trial flight to test the new balloon
which they expected to use in the in
ternational races. Just above the town
of Grossenhain they met a thunder
storm which they attempted to avoid by
rising above the disturbance. When a

After q terrifice rush straight upward
the bag burst.
Instruments Tell Story.
The shattered instruments which the
b~alloonists carried on their flight We're
examined today. The recording appar.
atus showed they were riding at q
height of 5000 feet when they were
suddenly hit by a vertical gust of wind
which pushed them straight up with
the violence Of a hurricane to a height
of more han Is. 900 feet.
AT this altitude, the bag burst, either
from the sudden change In pressure or,
as Is more likely from being truck by
lightning.
The balloon embodied all the latest
ideas in gas bag construction and was
regarded throughout Germany as the
likely winner of the internationa! cup
in next Saturdays contest. Gericke
and Steler had expected to try for an
altitude record in the course of yes
terday,s flight and had equipped their
car with oxygen tanks and apparatus
TO assist them in enduring rarified
