have ncver actually ripened into deeds can
be laid by the heels
The committee said that the time had
come in the development Of our system
Of penology to do away with the assump-
tion that an insane man could not COM
nit a crime. The defence Of insanity
should be abolished and insane crimi-
nails should be sentenced to an asylum.
Being under sentence" said the report,
he would have no right to a writ Of
habeas corpus, and could only be set
free by pardon. Thus the judicial
farce Of murderers being acquitted by
reason Of insanity and set free on ac-
count Of sanity would be ended" The
report continued:
The question OF the death penalty for
murder in the first degree affords no dltf-
Guilty. No one will contend that tie
insane murderer should forfeit his life. The
question We put is, Why should he not for
felt bis liberty? Why should he be ac-
quilted on the ground OF his insanity, ard
then oe allowed u go at large on the
ground Of his sanity? He has proved HIM
self to be a dangerous man. Society must
protect itself against the danger Of a repe-
tltion OF his hOrnicid9l tendencies

Change in Statutes Suggested.

The method of making the statutes
conform to these views was suggested
as follows:
Replace Section % Of the Penal Code by
,he following words: Insanity or other
mental deficiency shall no longer be a
defence against a charge Of crime; nor
shall 1t prevent a trial of the accused, un-
less his mental condition is such as u
satisfy the court, upon its own inquiry, that
ne is unable, by reason thereof 10 maze
proper preparation for his defence" Pro-
vide that if at the time the jury renders
the verdict the court has reason 10 believe
that at the time OF the commission OF ire
crime the prisoner was insane or atnlcted
with any meltal deficiency, II may then
defer sentence and cause an inquiry 20 be
radde; and II as the result OF that inquiry
the prisoner Is found 10 have been sane, the
court shall then sentence him to be eIectrO-
Cuted or imprisoned in A jail, as the ca Q
requires; and If insane, the court shall then
sentence him 70 be confined in the proper
state asylum during his life or for term
of years, as the case REQUIRES. mus tn9
insane mans family would he protected
from unjust stigma, and society would be
protected from him.
Besides this suggestion for the amend
ment Of the law the committee also spe'
officially recommended two amendments
to limit the use of the writ of habeas
corpus by the criminal insane. In Of
fering the amendments the report said:
In the deliberations Of your committee
two things pressed for attention:
First: The misuse Of the writ Of habeas
CORPUS. whereby PERSONS detained as insane
In public institutions can obtan n repeater
hearings on an issue OF regalned sanity,
unhampered b. pricr adverse adjudications
second: The scandal which by now has
grown 70 such proportions as TO bring much
discredit upon our system of administering
the criminal Law. namely. persons guilty Of
crime going unwhipped Of justice by means
OF a. successful defence OF insanity, which
frees them from jail, and subsequent
successful claim OF sanity, which frees
them from the asvlum.

York Parade on.

Rochester, N. T., Nov. 2.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson in his speeches here
said confusion and incessant contest
would result for the next four years
with q postponement Of legislation un.
less both houses of congress as well
as the presidency were Democratic
through and through"
He declared that the two chief is
sues of the campaign are the tariff
and the trusts; he reiterated that
without disturbing the healthy future
Of American business he proposed to
have special favors cut out Of the
tariff" He announced that he intend
ed to fight for the rest of his life to
destroy private monopoly.
New INSTRUMENTATION Of the
parade was announced by Chairman
McCoombs of the Democratic national
committee.
governor Wilson felt that it would
not be fitting for him to review po-
litical parade while the funeral of the
vice president of the United States
was going on, said Mr.. McCombs.
Calling off the parade does not
mean, Chairman McCoombs said, that
the Wilson day celebrations which
have been arranged to take place
throughout the country will also be
abandoned.

he was an officer Of the law, and cap

CUBAN CONSERVATIVES LEAD
RETURNS COMING IN SLOWLY
ABSOLUTE ORDER PREVAILS.
Liberal Party Claim They Have Carr
rIed the City Of
Havana.

Havana. Nov. 2. - The election OF
General Mardo Menocal and Enrique
Jose Varena, respectively, candidates
for the presidency and vice presidency
of the republic O the Conservative
ticket, and of all the other candidates
put forward by the Conservatives, ap.
pears practically assured.
The delay in receiving the returns ID
due to the extreme slowness of cleo.
ton ohicials In counting the votes.
AS an instance. in Havana four hours
after the polls had closed, the official
figures in only . half-dozen election
districts were available. A majority
of these favored General Menocal. No
official returns have been received
from the interior.
The Conservatives have received pri.
vate advicss that General Menocal
carried the proinoes of Oriente. Cam.
avguey and Matanzas and probably
Santa Clara. They are disposed to
concede that Senior Zayas has won
out in Pinar Del Rio.
The Liberals claim the city of Ha.
vana. but concede the remainder OF
the province Of Havana and the other
five provinces to the Conservatives.
This would practically make clean
sweep Of the election by the Conserva.
tives.
A dispatch from the Associated
Press correspondent at Santiago says
the Conservatives probably carried
that city, but that the Liberals gained
the remainder Of the province.
Absolute order prevailed throughout
the island.

London, Nov. x.-The Turkish army
is in full retreat on Constantinopll
and the Turkish government has asked
the powers to intervene.
An official bulletin has been issued
by the government at Constantinople

Bulgarians in the great battle on the
plains of Thrall.
Application was made to the embas

The ambassadors, prior to this, had
asked the porte to grant permission
to each of the great powers to send one
warship through the Dardanelles and
this request had been complied with,
The only guarantee Of safety for ma
tive Christians and perhaps foreigners
in Constantinople is to be found in
the presence of the warships Of the
great powers In the harbor Of the
Turkish capital.
Powers Disagree.
It is the general belief that Bull
garia will refuse to listen to anything
in the way Of Intervention until the
Bulgarian army IL at the gates of Con

make an appeal direct to the allies
without interference from the powers

1.-THE suggestion that members of the
Republican national committee should
authorize the executive committee or
the chairman Of the committee to
nominate a candidate for vice presi-
dent to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Mr.. Sherman, IL not feasible
and therefore has not received favor
able consideration" said Mr.. Hilles.
It has already been made clear that
1t would have been q physical impos-
sibility for the members of the COM
mittee to attend . meeting prior to
election day, there not being sufficient
interim between the death of the
vice president and election day for
the committee to convene. Proxies by
wire would not have been legal and
action based on such proxies would
have been an unwarrantable innova-
ton and would have established
dangerous precedent.
A majority Of the members Of the
committee have, however, publicly
expressed their choice for q candidate.
While member Of the committee
from the state Of Idaho has not given
voice to his views, the Republican
state committee Of Idaho has recon.
mended the selection of Governor
