TO EXAMINE BRAINS

Chicago Officials to Send EN-

Chicago, March S0.-On the theory
that they Ia ave diseased brains
and require mental treatment as a sub
stitute for punishment. Chicago hus-
bands who do not support their wives,
hereafter may be sent to a laboratory

other charges may receive similar
treatment.

the first of its kind in the United
States, will be established in the near
future as an auxiliary to the municipal

GLYNN WILL CALL
LEGISLATURE BACK

Albany. N. Y, March 3o.-The New
York legislature adjourned sine die
early today, leaving unfinished business
that will require it's return in e~xtraor-
binary session. The senate and this
house disagreed over appropriation
bills.
The lower house quit business
abruptly at 1927 o'clock this morning
without sending notice to the senate
ana the governor. Legislation, embody-
ing the annual appropriation bills
necessary to the maintenance of the
departments of state was on the way
from the senate to the house.
Regardless of party senators ex-
pressed resentment because the house
terminated its existence without no.
tlce, but they proceeded placidly, end
ing their session at 5:35 o'clock.
Tho appropriation bill over which the
two houses disagreed, involved about
$3l, 100000. AS amended by the senate,
the total was SIT, 900 less tina when APP
proved by the house.
The assembly's objections were based
on an alleged Juggling of the items.
ASSe1nblymen Said the senate cut out
$500, 600 for hospital and other neces-
sary departments to get money for
carrying on two departments, which
the assembly wished to abolish, the state
1lre mArshaIS bureau the depart
ment of efficiency and economy. 1t
also was commended that some Of the
alterations were intended to cripple So
called republican departments in the
way of reprisal.
Confusion arose from cross purposes
between the two branches in its clos
ing day and much important legislation
failed of enactment.
Harry K. Thaw figured prominently
IN the later proceedings of the session.
a resolution condemning the state au-
thorities for their activity in seeking
to extradite him narrowly failed of
passage, while bills incurred by the
state on his subject shared the fate of
the other items in the rejected appro-
priation bill.
The probable date for reconve1ing
the legislature already has provoked
much discussion. 1T is the prevalent
opinion that the session will be called
late in the spring or early in the UNI
mer.
Only such subjects as are recon-
n by the governor ma be acted
on at this session. Opinions vary
widely as to whether Governor Glynn
will confine himself to the necessary
appropriat!ons-thus fortifying himself
against possible defeat of a broader
program involving some of his pet
measures such as hydro-electric and
land banks.

BRIEF IN THAW
CASE is FILED TODAY

Concord. N. H.. March 2S.-Ths
final brief on behalf Of Harry K. Thaw
on his petition for a writ OF habeas
corpus and for admission to bail pend
ing a decision on the question OF ex-
tradition, was filed in the United
States district court by counsel today.
The document lays stress on the
claim that the statute under which
Thaw originally was committed to the
insane asylum at Matteawan, N. r,
Is unconstitutional and therefore 1t was
not a crime for him to escape from
custody; that an insane person can
not commit a crime and accordingly
cannot be e~xtiadited on a charge OF
committing a crime; that Thaw's
sanity or insanity must be decided be-
fore it a he determined that there
Is jurisdiction to extradite him. and
that he is not a fugitive from justice
within the meaning of the federal con-
stitution. AS to bail, counsel main
tains that a defendant is entitled to
1T in a misdemeanor case. The brief
concludes:
The purpose of the state OF New
York being to return Thaw to Mat
teawan, it is making a misuse of tho
~eXtradition laws to accomplish Its end.
Thaw should be discharged"

New York, March So.-Spring floods

CORN CAN BE GROWN
ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES

Manitoba is now commencing To
roduc considerable corn, chiefly for
Ieedlng purposes. In some cases.
Where the crop can be matured into
the dough stage, silos could be used
and would be a profitable investment.
According to the Farm and Ranch Re-
view, a correspondent visited a field
OF corr in southern Manitoba on Sen.
tember rs. The corn then was IN
touched by frost and it stood on an
average eight and nine feet in height.
Inc corn had developed into the
dough stage, and the crop would easily
exceed 20 tons to the acre. At many
experimental farms, the same favor
able showing of the corn crop has
manifested itself. At the Brandon ey-
perlmental farm this year several va
rletles, all very good yielders, matured
into good silo corn.
Considering the success with which
corn can be produced, and the adyan-
tages to be gained by so producing it,
should not it receive the serious at
tentlon OF the western agriculturist?
Corn is successfully grown in the
northern part of Minnesota in SINH
lar sol and under the same climatic
condition, and there does not appear
TO be any reason why like results
should not be secured in western Can.
ada. 1t is the opinion of many Amerf-
can farmers of experience that the
corn belt is extending northward. The
prairie provinces must gradually take
up with mixed farming. More stock
on the farms must be raised. and in
consequence farming must to some
extent be diverted from grain growing
TO other necessary crops. If crop
suitable for wintering cattle and espe-
clally dairy stock are to be grown,
why should not corr be one of these
crops? In Ontario and in the United
States we find it forms the main bulky
food for wintering beef and dairy cat
tie. They would not be without this
profitable plant. In fact, since it's in
PRODUCTION almost twice as much stock
can be retained on the same amount
CT land, besides considering it's great
value for keeping the land clean.
Some may say that many crops that
can be grown in Ontario and the
States cannot be grown here, but not
so with corn, even now we find scat
tered fields of corn in Alberta and
