clerk 81 the District Attorneys ONCE. wh0t
makes up the annual report Of the once.
Slayers Convict Themselves.

Strange az II may seem the most valua-
bile information generally comes from the.
defendant himself. He is in most cases
anxious to talk. anxious to try to justify
or explain his act. The records OF con-
victons show that in thirty-two out OF
forty-three cases the statements OF de-
fekdants taken after their arrest aided
materially in securing their convictions.
Joseph McKenna, who was convicted
OF murder in the first degree for killing
little Sgrid Eckstrom. in The Bronx last
June. would probably never have been
convicted but for the statements he made
"a Mr.. Strong soon after his arrest.
In the last statement he said that he
was holding Sigrid in his arms WREN she
fell and struck her head. In his first
statems mt he had said that he rad moth
inc 10 do with her death. There were no
marks on her head. but marks on her
throat showed that she had been
strangled
The most difficult cases with which the
homicide bureau has to deal are those IN
which gangmen are implicated They are
close mouthed and prefer to settle their
own difficulties.
In Mr. Strongs opinion not only are
gang murders on the Increase. but they
form large part of the unsoived homi-
cides The most difficult case to prepaie
is that in which crowd OF young Fellows
loaf carelessIy into some dance hall or
other public place and suddenly beSin
fusillade. Some one in the crowd has been
designated as the sharpshooter. VINO sna'i
pick off the victim. Ii is almost impos-
sible. however, to find any one In the haii
who has noticed in the excitement the
man who fred the fatal shots.
Most of the homicide cases tried in Cen
eraI Sessions OF the Supreme Court were
prosecuted either by Charles 1. Nott, Jr''
Frank Moss. who prosecuted In the no
seminal murder case; James % Maley Or
Robert r. Manley. Out OF seventeen nom

Mrs Miriam Sutro Price. chairman OF
the executive committee OF the same
association. was firmly OF opinion that
Mr.. Maxwell was right in his stand for
financial independence. She based her
conclusion not 40 much on the defects IN
the present system az on the success
with which financial independence had
been accompanied in other cities, such as
St Louis and cities OF the first class in
Pennsylvania
ANY one who has followed the school
situation for fifteen years, observed Mrs.

To all intentS and purposes II decided

of indictments-are not unusual They
have been about the same for several
years. according To Mr. Strong. II is the

Unseen Danger.

Boys are by nature initiative, and
they are more especially inclined ia
initiate older buys with whom they
desire to associate. Limitation is the
slncerest fattery" as the proverb in
forms US, and it is the easiest way for
a small boy to ingratiate himself with
bigger boy. And this is the reason
why many thousands of boys learn to
smoke and form other bad habits. II
these boys could only realize how
great are the burdens which they
thus hang round their own necks,
probably for life, many of them might
be saved, but the youngsters are in
capable OF approaching the conse-
quences of their actions. More than
400 high school boys in Maiden
School, Boston. voted to discontinue
after the principal had put
the matter before them 10 way to
invite action. 1t is Il movement that
ought to spread. II the smoke habit
hinges on any particular age, it is on
the high. school boy. He aspires to be
a full-tledged man and with no long
ing for nicotine, but purely, IN most
cases, through certain psychological
Influence, embraces the weed.

COMMISSION FORM FOR DOUGLAS.

The city of Douglas is now publish ing it's new charter for the fnforma- tlon of the voters of that city who will be given the opportunity to ap- prove or disapproye of the proposed commission form of government. This new charter has been approved and commended by Attornely General B,l- lard, 1t is a progressive document and a municipal government under it and ip the hands of competent and experienced business men would uu- doubtedly he an improvement on the present one. It is said that several Of those prominent in the present city government in Douglas are opposing the new charter but as the people Of the city have already voted on it the Review predicts that it will SC. cure public favor and go into effect There has been much time devoted 10 the preparation of the new char fer and the expense of it's creation has been considerable. The charter provides for the general manager form of commission government and this we believe is the best form for city no larger than Douglas or Bisbee.
