ted OF murder of William E>iliags and
sentenced to life Imprisonment and OF
Jose Salgado. convicted of the murder
OF squaw and sentenced to death,
Will come UP before the Supreme

cused of numbering Billings with a

refused a new trial by Judge Taber

Salgado's case is an especially afro.
cious one. In the presence OF about

bcr. His attorneys. Kline and Hale

ever committed before an outraged
community and If such deeds, COM
mittcd in the presence of a street full
of eye witnesses. are unpuniahed. they
will only encourage more lawleness.

How shall men be saved from SUBJ
marine boats that are unable to rise
again to the surface? Several Eu-
ropean navies have installed appara'
tus on their submarine boats for re.
newing oxygen and absorbing the pro-
ducts of respiration from the men on
the boat for a period of seventy-two
hours. during which time 1t is usual
ly possible to effect a rescue which
mems suffocating. Another popular
method is to locate in the boat a
number of little machines designed to
shut off the respiratory organs of the
wearer from the water, and permit
him to breathe fresh air supplied by
a special device until he can rise to
the surface of the water, after which
the device may be thrown away, the
balance of the apparatus serving as
IN ordinary life preserver until res
cue can be effected. These little ma
chimes have also been used very sue
cessfully for rescue work at bathing
beaches.
Having closely observed, during the
Tripoli campaign. the conduct OF 225
soldiers who had been convicted oi

sivenes toward their superior Officers

there is twilight zone between sanity
and insanity which often defies the
best equipped investigators to define
Therefore the creation Of psyche
pathic laboratory as an auxiliary to
the municipal court Of Chicago is
promising addition to this commun-
ity's equipment for dealing with law
breakers.
IF the new department in its zeal
to make itself effective goes 10 absurd
extremes it will cause the city TO re-
gret the appropriation for its first
years work. If it refuses TO use its
power for the shielding of criminals
and If in all OF its examinations it
remembers to mingle good sense with
science it will do much to add to this
ciy's reputation for progressive ac,
ton.
1T has been found in Germany that
criminal acts very often are merely
manifestations of mental disease.
Thus. after release from prison, a per-
son so afflicted generally becomes a
recidivist, repeater. Detection OF
these weaknesses can be followed by
their correction in many instances. In
addition, the study of such cases
should lead to the compilation of da-
ia valuable in dealing with the un-
toward conditions that breed mental
afflictions.
The psychopathic laboratory, in
short, should prove of distinct value
to this community"
The East oregonian will add the
suggestion however that a psyche
pathic laboratory, if il wishes the toll

the fact good men of the type desired
