ALLEGED MURDERER CAUGHT
Albert II. Brodeur Charged With
Killing Springfield Woman

Springfield, Mass, Jan. 30.-Albert
II. Brodeur, alias Blanchard, who
was indicted in superior court in De-
cember for the murder OF Mrs. Matil-
d. Case, September 20, 1913, was ar
rested in Peterboro. Ont, late Thurs
day night. telegram from Daniel
Thompson chief constable at Peter
boro was received by Chief W. j.
GUILTY early yesterday morning, bear
ing the news of the arrest. Mrs. Ma
tilda Case was shot through the
heart in her home at So Wilcox
street about 11.30 on the nigh. of
September 90, 1913. and the fact that
she had been intimate with Brodeur
for several months previous 10 the
shooting and that he, wanted her 10
elope with him On the day on which
the shooting happened, attached sus-
plcion on him.
Chief GUILTY sent another telegram
asking II the identification OF Drc-
deur was positive. Chief Thompson
answered that Brodeur admitted his
identity
Brodeu, was born in Chicopee and
had lived there the greater part OF
his life He is 80 years old. Be
sides the name OF Blanchard he has
also called himself A. G. Stone. Ii

CRANE AS ENVOY TO RUSSIA
Belief in Washington He viii Sue
coed PindeI Before Long

Washington, Jan. 2s.-Mr. and
Mrs. Charles r. Crane, of Chicago.
were luncheon guests at the White
House today. The frlendliness of the
President toward Mr.. Crane has been
matter of remark in Democratic
political circles. where there is a de-
cided belief that he will become Am.
bassador 20 Russia before the end Of
the Wilson Administration.
The tenure of Henry NJ. Pindell, OF
Peoria, ILL.,. the new Ambassador just
appointed is not expected to be long.
One reason for believing that ulti-
mately Mr. Crane will succeed Mr..
Pindell Is that this government is
anxious to renew treaty relations
with Russia and that Mr.. Cane is
regarded as peculiarly fitted for car
rying through the negotiations by
reason Of his associations with Rus
STA.
II is reported that Mr.. Crane is TO
make trip to Russia soon to see
what can be done in an unofficial
way toward negotiating a treaty sat

vereennes Station Case

II looks aas If the state of Vermont
had lost It's case involving the ques-
ton OF jurisdiction in appeals from
orders OF the public service commits

orders have only been permissible to

then only en- issues of law and ques-

the commission were final us 20 facts.
Some time ago the public service
commission. after due hearing. order

erect new station at Vergeanes.
instead of appealing 10 the supreme
court, the railroad carried its case
into the United States district court,
claiming that the order was conlsca-
tory and meant the taking OF proper.
" without due process of law. The
state contested the jurisdiction OF
the federal court in a matter that, 1t
alleged. was purely of lntra-state
concern.
Judge Martin asserted the jurlsdic-
ton OF the federal court in his decis-
Ion and from this the state promptly
appealed The case WAS advanced
on the docket and heard recently by
the supreme court OF the United
States. which, in a decision render
ed last week. gave jurisdiction TO the
federal court. The issue Itself must

highest court in the land. whatever

Environment a Factor

Although ii Is the target for much
good natured fun and despite the fact
that many of its ardent advocates
have lost their sense of proportion
there is enough of merit in the Gu
genie movement to command the
serious attention of those who wish
TO do their share in race uplift. II is
not eugenics bat the extremist that
is deserving Of ridicule, for cons
ciously or uneonsciously, all good
people are eugenists. following out
their own notions in regard to such
matters.
One thing the extremist seems TO
forget. and that Is that The human
animal is not an animal in the same
sense as Is a COW o. a hog or a horse.
The laboratory OF human life does
not permit of the race breeding that
the barnyard does, and there are
other factors that enter into the hui
man equation that have no applica-
ton In the case of the lower animals
In losing sight OF these truths which
will suggest themselves with little
thought, the eugenists who would
turn the world into scientific breed
Ing place are making their greatest
error and are endangering the sue
cess OF the praiseworthy part OF their
program.
From accounts OF eugenists meet
ings appearing in the daily and Week
ly press. It seems as If these reform
ers a,e forgetting the environment
factor. But can they afford to do
this? Is it not recognized fact that
environment Is as great factor in
the life of the individual as heredi-
tyy Every experience has It's effect
on the moral and physical fiber of
the individual. and there is no infu-
ence so small as not to record Itself
in some way. And what that expe-i-
elce will be depends in large mea.
