Death Penalty Just,
Says Miss Eva Booth
Salvation Army Chief Commences
Capital Punishment to Make
Men Regret Crimes

NEW YORK. April 15.-CommanoeI
Eva Booth. of the Salvation Army,
goes on record to-day in favor OF
capital punishment. And this at a
time when lawmakers all over the
land are opposing the death sentence.
Il believe in capital punishment.
Contemplation of = coming death
arouses one to a realization that he
must look to the welfare of his soul, "
said Miss Booth. whose life has been
devoted TO work among the lowest
classes.
THE view ! take of capital punish
ment is that a man who knows that
he has but a certain length OF time to
live will think of the hereafter" she
said. 1T the law DEGREES capital pun
ishment and a man is sentenced the
seriousness Of his situation makes
him think of his soul. II he is SEN
fenced to but few years. or even for
life. there is the hope that he will
some day be free and with the thought
Of further freedom thoughts for his
own welfare vanish. Human beings
are prone to procrsstinate. Let there
be uncertainty of time and the nee
essary will not be done.
AS for the after world-whether
there be fire and brimstone-concerns
me not in the least. The worst agony
a person can suffer is in his own
mind Many are the persons who
would willingly and gladly step into
the flames II by so doing they could
rid themselves Of the torture their
misdeNds have brought upon their
minds

COURT RULES
Far-Reaching Decision Will Vi

Other Corporations,

4 ruling Of far-reachins impor-
sc was made to-day, by the State
Supreme Court when it decided that
tn lessee of land is liable for its
taxes, as well as for taxes assessed on
Improvements the lessee makes, in the
event the lease is in perpetuity.
Several railroads of the State and a
number of corporations. which have
held they could not be forced to pay
taxes on land they did not own, but
leased in perpetuity, will be affected
by the decision handed down to-day.
The court called attention to the
fact that perpetual lease sometimes
has been referred to and is considered
the legal equivalent of a conveyance
in fee, reserving the rent; and added
that it was the opinion of the court
that a lease in perpetuity is sub

In reversing the decision of the
