Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-10-11

Sheriff o. /. Bruner and his deputies
are securing the surrounding country
in an effort TO apprehend Alfonso Vens,
Martens, the South Rock Island dairy
man, whose lifeless body was found
lying in a cornfeld on the old Coyne
farm last Sunday morning.
When last seen alive, Martens, II
is alleged, was accompanied by Veins,
who had been the constant compan-
ion of the dairyman for several weeks
preceding the tragedy. Immediately
after the killing, VEINS disappeared and
has not been seen or heard of since.
At Andalusia the sheriff interviewed
a saloonkeeper and learned that Vens
had borrowed a dollar and left a
suitcase as security. This was sew
eral days before the crime An ex-
animation of the suitcase disclosed
shotgun and revolver shells and a
quantity Of clothing. together with sew.
eral photographs of Vens himself.
The above likeness found in the suit
case, is fairly good, the photo being
taken last summer. Nens is Belgian
and is described as a man about five
feet seven inches in height, smooth
face, fair complexion and sandy hair
When last seen he wore a light SLOUGH
hat
This morning new tip came tc
Sheriff Bruner relative 10 the location
of Nens. a resident of South Rocl
Island reported that at 6 O'Clock this
morning he had seen a man hiding in
the weeds near the sand pit in South
Rock Island, who answered the de
scription of Nens. Deputy Sherif
Charles Dunlap investigated, but the
fellow had disappeared before his ar
rival.

borrowed the money and bought q
run down business. The boys knew
nothing about 1t and the business
went to the dogs. 1t was finally

the father placed a mortgage on the

business failed again and the father

enough left to keep the wolf from the

THE cRIMINALLY INCLINED INSANE.

tu6 SntMtNHlII 1NVIlNEU iNSRNE.
The case Of Schmidt, The priest who
mas been discovered as murderer, coun
terfeiter and all round criminal has it.
bearing on such cases as Thaws and
other less notorious Instances where
men escape criminal punishment be-
cause Of mental deficiency. Tracing
Schmidt the authorities have found
that in Germany he had d police rec
ord in the city of Mainz and later was
acquitted on serious charge az
Munich because of weak mindedness
Then he emigrated to America and his
record here is an illustration of what
a weak or degenerate mind may ac-
compiish in criminal operation.
There is point worth the notice Of
legislators. executives and the public
which seeks to protect itself thru law
and law enforcement 1t is utterly
sepuSnant to the common mind that a
person afflicted with serious mental de.
hciency should be hanged or given the
nave originated in an unbalanced mind
But this prevent fashion of short in
generation under medical treatment
followed by complete freedom is a dan
Gerous as well as foolish system. 1t
is a reasonable inference that the weak
mind and the degenerate tendencies
selves IN future crime when left to
themselves and given entire liberty.
thus the man who has murdered is
akeiy TO have a recurrence of murder
Gus mama The man who stole
shrewdly and managed 20 conceal his
crime thru period of months and even
years is not unlikely to do the same
thing over. Criminal tendencies do NOT
disappear under treatment They sim
ply are more fully controlled by the
patient Why should we turn sucb
dangerous elements loose upon society
/and trust to their future self control .
The suggestion is that such crini-
nally attracted persons should be kent
under restraint and where they NAV
be watched carefully and controlled.
The insanity dodge is a blot on our
criminal jurisprudence. 1t goes farther
and takes in the medical expert whose
services are for hire as an advocate
along with the criminal lawyer who
occupies middle ground between the
criminal and social order. The weak
minded should be pitied and controlled.
The degenerates are like children plav-
Ing On the street with dynamite, per-
haps they are not blameworthy but
they are without doubt most danger
Gus to those whose right to protec-
ton is paramount.

sPRlNefIELD's NEW "BoARD." :

The city council of Springfield, Mass.
mas created a commission that seems
to be in the line of better public service
So far as possible it has turned over
improvement Of public hearings erec-
ton of new buildings. street decoration
boulevarding. bridges, Fairgrounds and
the like to a board Of five citizens. The
mayor and council presidents are mem
bers Of the board ex-offcio. This board
has a voice in the locations and priv
presumed to carry on a careful study of
the city's needs and progress and to act
judicially.
1t will be either a good or a bad
thing. There is scarcely middle way
II the board is selected from strong
honest and patriotic men lit will be of
infinite value. If il is picked by politics
and governed by self or political inter-
est it will be flop from the frying
pan into the fire If the council can
have the assistance of sincere and
out then the city must profit: for the
strongest and most capable men in this
country avoid such offices as the
mayoralty and councilman. If it is TO
be bossed by a bunch of keen and
powerful grafters then the last condi-
ton will be worse than The first. And
1t is very evident that the position held
by such board offers wide opportunity
tcr c-ecked speculation.
After all 1t comes right back TO the
man in office. In municipal manage
ment which is merely business man
agement the need is honest business
administration and business capacity.
The man is the decimal point in the
calculation. An honest and capable
council or commission and patriotic ad-
visory DO ard should be an ideal COM
bination.
