for construction. Among the more nota-

Chinese had each paid Hayes their SO
as well as the charges for the voyage;
but the knavish captain had no thought
or intention of paying over to the Aus

had received as poll tax. amounting in
all to something like $500.
When the port was within sight he con
trived, with the assistance of his carpen-
ter. almost to scuttle the vessel by making
large hole in the side. In an apparently
waterlogged and sinking condition, the
vessel slowly entered the harbor. Hayes

to the nearest landing place, which was

That State laws should be changed SO
as to take into consideration irresistible
impulse of insane persons to commit
crimes was the statement yesterday Of
Dr. William A White, famous alienist
and superintendent of the Government
Hospital for the Insane.
DR.. White Endorsed change from the
present law, which in many States says
that if a person has a knowledge Of
right and wrong, it shall be ruled that
he is guilty. The change is one of
several that have been recommended by
the Society of Medical Jurisprudence of
New York DIR. White Endorsed all OF
the changes suggested by the society.
The laws that say the only legal cri-
terion is the test of responsibility, con-
sisting of the capacity to understand
right from wrong" said DR.. White, have
resulted in the conviction Of many men,
tally irresponsible persons.
