And if the girl is subnormal she
needs treatment just the same as

this treatment is not secured through
placing fine upon her which drives
her on the street again.
And if she is a girl who has yielded

l have sat in this court while Judge
felt that it was a good Providence
that put such a man there to act as
a merciful judge.
But even Judge Hopkins, who, in
my opinion, is one of the kindest
judges on the bench, was powerless
when it came to administering fines,
for he of necessity had to administer
them when the evidence proved a
woman guilty of prostitution.
But at least he was merciful, and
he made the fines as light as he could
and consequently placed the mini
mum penalty on the woman. Wheth-
er Judge Goodenow, who is now in
charge of this court will follow in the
footsteps of Judge Hopkins remains
to be seen, but the system should be
abolished.

The heroism Of Arthur Cleveland,

Yesterday morning and got an electric

the pump struck the heavily charged
wires and Holcombe received full in
his body the force Of 1000 volts. lie
was hurled a hundred feet and killed
instantly. Cleveland was hurled forty
feet, his clothing almost entirely
stripped from him and his left arm
broken.
Despite his injuries he tried to nelo
his friend. Finding that HOlcombe was
dead, Cleveland then struggled back TO
the car, drove il mile 70 tell tower
man what had happened and then drove
il back TO the Heathcote siding, elea~-
ing the line for the express trains
bringing the New York theatregoers,
the first of which was nearly due.
He was carried 20 the hospital at
White Plains, where he died late in the
afternoon. Had he received treatment
earlier il is possible that he would have
lived. His home was in New Rochelle.

land the $1,672 which was the bill for
their last st. Patrick's Day dinner at

Even though "Tom" Smith, president

suit brought by Regain to collect for
the dinner, that the champagne served
at the dinner tasted like charged sweet

of Regain. SO the money Ireland was to
get will 20 to Regain and the society
will have to pay some more IN the form
of costs. The case was tried before
Justice Delehanty, one Of the few not
barred from presiding at the trial be-
cause of attendance at the dinner.

Superintendent of Elections Voorhis,
asserted yesterday that Joseph NJ.
Kelly, a deputy superintendent, had
appeared az counsel for a man Dropper
had caused to be arrested for violation
of the election law. Kelly had not
been subpenaed, and Dropper's identi-

John d. Mcmahon, the commissions:
appointed to take evidence.
During the hearing yesterday, which
was held in the Bar Associations
rooms, sparks flew as the lawyers
clashed. w. Cromwell Runyon and
Samuel J. Rosensohn represented the
