CHURCH DEALS WITH EUGEN|CS
Question of Health Certificates Brought Before Convention
 by Governor Baldwin.

Kansas City, Nov. 1.-The Congregational Church cOnven-
 ton, which has been in progress during the past week in this city, was brought to a close at noon
 yesterday. Many prominent min-
 isters from all parts of the world were present.
 Governor Baldwin, of Connect icut. was present and addressed
 the convention on the subject of "the duties of the church in re-
 gard to the marriage question"
 He stated that many states were
 trying to secure legislation which would prevent the physi-
 caIly and mentally unfit from en-
 l"ring wrdI"rk. fIr believed the church should take a firm stand
 on the question and refuse tp perform marriages where the
 contracting partrcs had not se- cured health cert rtiiicates. The question was freely discussed. Some of the ministers even fla vored the performing of the mar
 riagH ceremony without health
 certificates free of charge in or der to encourage matrimUny. Many of the leading newSpa-
 perS of America have published editorials urging cugenic mar riagrs and crticiSing Inc clergy men of the various henOmina-
 liOms for taruineSS in adopting cugenic principles. Letters were read from several prominent physicians who had been asked
 to express their opinions on the subject of youths being permit ted in contract marriages as we'll as the question of rugenirS. Dr. Fisher. we'll known health au-
 thnrity, expressed the opinion
 that drfrctivrS Shuul, he re- strained to prevent the increase of hra f-lmlit ism.

No more executions took place until
Elroy Kent was hanged in January, 1912
This was even more brutal than in the
case of Mrs. Rogers, since the rope broke
entirely and Kent fell to the floor. He
was raised and the rope hitched to the
balustrade of the gallows, where he
hung until pronounced dead by the ply
sicians.
With the exception of Hayden al
those who have been executed in Yer
mont have been of the abandoned, ignor'
ant and poverty stricken type, from
1880 until the present. All Others who
have killed anybody have got off with q
life sentence or have been convicted Of
manslaughter, where the penalty is one.

Whether the use of the electric chair
will be superseded in time by the aboli.
ton of the death penalty Is a difficult
question. Many are already in favor OF
the change.

vERMoNT'S LAST HANGING.
Will Be That of Arthur Bosworth Next
January

Windsor, Nov 3.-The last execution
to take place in Vermont by hanging
will be early in January. Arthur Bos-
worth, a subject OF Great Britain, who
was convicted of the murder of May
Labelle at Essex Junction, in May, 1912,
failed to get the last Legislature to COM
mute his sentence, although the number
of persons who have received life impris-
onment for murder in Vermont is about
equal.
Ever since 1850 there appears to have
been a varying way of administering
punishment for murder. In 1880 Edwin
&C.. Hayden, hotel keeper of Derby, in
vited a lot of his friends to his execu-
ton, telling them that on such a date
there would be what he termed neck
tie party at the prison, and he wanted
all he had known to come and see the
festivities. According to all accounts
it was not very sorry spectacle, as he
went to his death with the utmost in
difference after reading a speech which
he had prepared for the occasion.
The next man was Lewis Almon
Meeker. but the legislature committed
his sentence to life Imprisonment.
Mrs. Emmeline Meeker was executed
in March, 1883, the first woman who ever
ever met such fate in the state.
Not another execution took place until
the winter of 1892, when Sylvester Bell.
a Franklin county farmer, was executed.
This was when the law said that the
sentence should be carried out between
the hours of and 2 p. nj. Bell was a
talkative kind of man and tried to take
advantage of his privilege to make re-
marks on the scaifold by using up the
whole hour. An alert sheriff noted the
probability and Mr.. Bell was dropped at
about 10 minutes before the limit of
time. Thus for nine years there were
no executions in Vermont.
The change of public opinion toward
life Imprisonment began about 1892 and
continued until the execution of Mary
Rogers in December, 1906 The death of
Mrs. Rogers was accomplished in crude
way. Her feet struck the floor and she
was afterwards raised and allowed to
strangle until death came, according to
