If there was conspiracy the men should

penalty
1t is recalled that at the last session of
the legislature an effort was made to
have capital punishment abolished in this
state. the bill falling because of the
shortness of the session and the great
volume of business remaining on the
calendars. For some years there has
been a growing sentiment against taking
the life of a man for any crime in this
state, except the usual crime" and be-
cause of the intense interest aroused in
the Allen cases this sentiment has spread
TO every part of the state and is still
growing.

Making Course Higher.

With the consolidation Of the two med
ical colleges here the curriculum has
been raised very much higher. the course
of training made harder for matriculates
and the fees increased considerably For
a long time the colleges here have been
charging 500 for the tuition, but after
the coming session that will be increa sed
to $50
In addition. instead of the high school
certificate Of graduation the requirement
will be that each applicant shall have
taken at least one year in college work
before he can have his application con-
sidered. This is in accord with the gen
eral tenor of the best medical schools in
the country. which have for years been
engaged in a systematic elimination of
the cheap and incomplete institutions. At
the beginning of the next session the
Medical College of Virginia will conduct
classes in the buildings of the University
