HOPES TO end
third DEGREE"
Procedure Was Watched in
Chicago With Idea Of
Preventing Practice

CHICAGO, Feb. 12.-"Third degree"
punishment to an innocent suspect in
a Chicago police station was witness
ed by a reputable business man,
whose complaint may serve to put an
%effectual end to abuse of prisoners,
against which the Central Howard as
ISOLATION has for years made ~unavail-
ing protest.
Heretofore Superintendent Lyon OF
the association has not been able to
corroborate the complaints OF the vic
Tins by eye witnesses of standing,
but his Investigations have shown
him previously case after case where
confessions were virtually clicked
out of" men who refused to admit the
identity which the officers wished.
During March, 1911, he reported to
the chief that the wrong man had
been arrested, charged with stealing
a horse in Ohio.
1t happened that the man arrested
had been b%efriended by the associa-
ton, which acts as first friend" to
the released and paroled prisoners
from jails and p~enitentiaries in the
middle west, so he complained later
of the abuse he got. Several times
he had been knocked down and as he
would not consent to admitting tina.
he was the horse thief he was maso
to strip and given third degree in
all it's cruel phases, a stream OF ice
cold water being turned upon him
until he was numb.
unfortunately, in most cases it is
a question Of veracity between the
prisoner and the officers and officers
naturally will support each other, Mr..
Lyon said, "but we have under
investigation this case where the
word of the business man is given
that he heard the shrieks of the vic
tim and later saw him being kicked
by the two bury men who had set
about cxtorting Il confession. 1t is to
be hoped that this may bring the
whole practice to light and put a stop
to it, once for all time. The city
council is considering a thorough in
vestigation of this and other cases o"
third degree.

er's report. For other cities from the
State Board Of Health Bulletins. The
latter, however, are not reliable as no
effort is made to check the returns
from the various cities. The United
States Bureau Of Vital Statistics does
not accept vital statistics from North
DakOa.
Although more money has been ap-
propriated for public health work in
this state during the past six years
than ever was before, the death rate
has been higher during that period
than at any time in the history of the
state.
This is not due to insanitary condi.

pccially the vital statistics law.

"Years of Discretion" Proves
the Real Surprise of the
Dramatic Season.

"W' time %SD paving sSSs at s'Ss,ss' 'ss::
" says Mrs. Howard wear
| lily. after the wedding
guests have gone and she has settled
down in the garden of her own home.
/ And we're not so very old. after all" "
! replies her fifty-year-old husband
There's the play Of Years of Discre-
| ton" In a nutshell.
When Frederick and Fanny Hatton
started out to write a play. they turned
their backs on the crook" drama, the
mistaken identity" farce, and other
cut-ai!d-dried plots upon which plays
. have been hung for so many years, and
they ouS up brand-new thought. The
choice was an excellent one, and one
that interests US all, for there Is not
che of us who does not look forward
to the time OF life when love will exict
in tho head-not the heart.
One seldom finds a husband and wife
working together on a play, and the
result. as indicated by Years of DIS
cretion." makes one rather hope that
Mr.. and Mrs. Hatton will not allow
this first venture into the world of
drama to be the last. Mr.. Hatton is
the dramatic critic of a Chicago news
paper. and his wife probably goes to
the theater with him, so there can be
no doubt that both know a good PLAY
when they Sc. one-also when they
write one.
The play which opened in the Ma
tional Theater last evening is an ex-
celleht refutation of the oft-repeated
declaration that a dramatic critic is i
disappointed and unsuccessful play
wright. The Hattons are not. and the
fact that their fellow dramatic critics
have been unanimous in praising the
play, coupled with tine fact that Mr..
BeIasco has thought it OF sufficient
merit to produce it sumptuously, GER
tainly speaks well for the brilliant lit
tie comedy which delighted i large au-
dience last evening.
Somebody has called ii a 'boudoir
farce" II Is scarcely this. though in
one or two places the play introduces
the audience into the intimacies of the
dressing room Of the heroine in almost as
unconventional a fashion as Nobody 8
Widow took its audiences into an
other dressing room, much under the
same circumstances. Years of Discre-
ton" is sparkling little comedy that
bears the stamp of craftsmanship in
every line. 1t takes the audience into
the home of Mrs. Margaret Brinton. a
worldly-wise Manhattan widow. and
confronts them with the most unex-
pected happenings and most astOnish-
ing conditions. Sometimes the play
brings complications that border almost
on the edge OF a scandal, then some
thing happens to change the tense situ-
alton into a bit of comedy that is all
the more delicious because Of its unex-
pectedness.
Mrs. Howard is forty-eight. a plain.

for rest and protection.
She finds In his strong arms the
haven she has longed for all her life,
and the curtain falls upon the pair hap
PLY welded, sitting In the garden OF
the brides Brookline home, comfort
able and contented, with the feeling
that all the rest Of the world may 60
hang, for all they care. The tight
corsets. the false hair, the paint, the
powder. the pinching shoes. the false
air Of igayety have all been discarded
for something more beautiful. more
comfortable. more sustaining. and the
middle-aged man and the middle-aged
woman, both in their new-found happi-
ness. decide as the curtain descends that
old age has its compensations after all.
The play bears the mark of a femi-
nine hand In every line. 1t is a play
that appeals strongly to women, es-
pecially to those who have left behind
them the first bloom of youth. 1t is
play that is pretty and entertaining.
and the cast Is all that one could de-
sire
Herbert Kelcey makes Dallas just the
sort Of man that could win a widow,
but he has a rival in John Flood. who
has the part of the dashing young
Irishrlan, who makes real love in real
earnest. The John Strong OF Louis
Mason Is excellent. and z. NJ. Holland
makes the most Of the small part of the
butler. Miss shannon as Mrs. Howard,
Is delicious. and is the whole show, az
far as the feminine portion of II is con-
cerned. Alice Putnam as Mrs Brtnton,
is sufficient to the part assigned her,
and Grace Moore is seen in the small
part of a French maid. Robert Nc
Wade, jr. plays the role of. Amos
Thomas, parlor socialist. and Is droll
and convincing, and then there is Grant
Mitchell, who enacts the character OF
the widows son, Farrell Howard. ir.
One might use up much space in speak
ing of the clever way in which he
handles his part. but time and space
will not allow more than passing men
ton Of his excellent work.
The play is handsomely staged, the
garden. in the last act, being especially
beautiful. The gowns are sunptuous,
and taking It altogether Years of Dis
