On one occasion a brilliant company

him to make one. The poet Srimaced.

The estimate of total cost Of this sys-

was figured the expectancy OF life OF

probabilities Of leaving a widow or dying

than life. experience and mortality tables
show that, for large numbers Of persons
extending over a long series OF years. not
such as death and disability, but events
entirely within human volition, such as
designations and marriages. are singularly
constant from year to year.

LAWYERS DISCUSS
MACDONALD CASE
They See in Precedent Of "ouali-
fled Verdict" a Farewell to
Capital Punishment.

That the qualified verdict returned BY
the jury in the Macdonald murder case
on Friday will have the effect Of rem
dering 1t difficult TO secure a verdict car
rying capital punishment hereafter in
the District was the opinion Of a num-
Der OF welI-lnown criminal lawyers ex-
pressed yesterday.
The Macdonald verdict was the first Of
its kind made In the District courts since
the District code was enacted more than
nine years ago. Verdicts of the kind
were made under the old regulations, but
this was changed by the enactment Of
the District code. Under the new penal
code which went into effect on January
1, 1910, however. qualified verdicts were
again permitted.
That a greater dificulty will be ex-
perienced In getting the local juries in
murder cases to reach an agreement was
the opinion expressed yesterday by At
torney Michael F. Mangan. with anS
other alternative for them TO argue over,
namely, that of life Imprisonment" said
Mr.. Mangan, 'ft will be much more difh-
cult to secure agreements from juries
than under the former laws. II will al
low them to bring in convictions for
murder in the first degree without the
accompanying capital punishment.
The Macdonald decision, in my opin-
ion," said Attorney William Mex. Clay
ton, president Of the Federation Of Citl-
zens' Associations. last night, will mean
the abolition OF capital punishment In
the District by judicial Interpretation. It
will be a hard matter, In my opinion, to
secure capital punishment in the local
courts hereafter. 1t is the tendency OF
jurors TO avoid the extreme penalty, and
in the past a number OF persons have
been excused from jury service because
of their opposition TO capital punishment
In the future these persons will be en-
abled to sit on juries in murder cases
and to bring in qualified verdicts. The
humanitarian standpoint will appeal 10
the jurors. and they will, I believe, ex-
hIblt a strong disinclination to the ex-
treme verdict.
Personally, I believe in capital pun
The tendency OF the courts to-
day is TO be too lax with defendants.
Too many privileges are extended to the
criminals, and not enough TO the prose
cution. With the strong evidence in the
case, I am extremely sorry

A college professor is pale. tired man
who is trying to teach college boys Latin.
sociology, and other intellectual annoy
anees in their spare moments-the boys,
not the professors.
Owing to the fact that professors are
not allowed TO use clubs or augers in
their teaching, 1t is very hard task, is
deed, and We should not blame them for
taking SO little interest In baseball and
bridge whist
A college professor is an information
trust on some particular subjects. He
begins TO study when a small boy, just
as If he were preparing to become a great
baseball star. and by the time he Is
thirty-five, he has usually baled up
enough wisdom TO enable him TO occupy
chair in some university for the rest
OF his life at salary OF 5000. While
college professors usually do not wear
any uniform, except whiskers, you can
generally tell one from the fact that he
isn't running an automobile
After a professor has secured a firm
grip on his chair, he spends his life
in teaching and study. Marvellous feats
in instruction are performed by some
professors, who can take an ordinary
football player with massive legs and
teach him to decline a Latin verb in
less than a year: while other professors
have been known to take a large-eaTed
young cigarette holder IN turned-up
trousers and a pompadour hat and teach
him the names Of a dozen English kings
without resorting TO trepanning.
After a professor has taught for fifty
years, he Is supposed TO retire and live
happily on Andrew Carnegie, who recent
ly set aside eight carloads OF money to
form pension fund for professors who
have become so old that they are no
longer able to prevent their students from
building bonfires in the classroom Mr..
