Judge l.. F. Burpee passed sentence.
Immediately after the woman was
sentenced to be hanged statewide
fight was begun to save her from the
gallows. The fight soon became ma
ton wide, but Governor Baldwin de-
clared he could not commute the SEN

argued that Connecticut has not tax

for more than 100 years; that Plew
exerted an almost supernatural in

been maltreated by her husband both
before and after their marriage. She
has two children living, a boy six
years old and girl of four. Short

Cleveland Attempts to
Give Aid to Criminal

CLEVELAND, March 4.-The fu-
tility of mechanical punishment as a
remedy or prevention for crime is to-
day responsible for the establishment
here of municipal criminal re-
search bureau, the first of its kind in
the United States, Crime and Grim
inals are being studied scientifically
by commission of seven experts un-
der the supervision of the director of
public welfare.
A psychological clinic is in opera
tion in connection with the criminal
branch of the municipal court system.
The commission composed of alien
lists, psychologists, physicians and
Jurists has charge of the clinic. Be-
fore Jail sentences are imposed on of
tenders, the prisoners are taken be-
fore the clinic and subjected to an ex-
animation.
The plan was initiated by Municipal
Judges Manuel Levine and George p.
Batter whose long and daily expert
ences in courtrooms have led them to
conclude that present laws deal only
with the effect of crime. Science
deals with causes and effects of
cripi T,Ige Levine. "Hitherto
law mas ignored the causes. It has
only been dealing with effects. The
law has stood still in its attitude to-
ward crime. Every other profession
has advanced. The physician has dis
covered that certain hereditary in
fences, diseases and physical condi-
tions influence men to crime. The
Psychologist has analyzed the minds
of the criminals and has learned les
sons which the law has ignored. The
alienist has told us crime and abnorm-
al mentality are closely associated.
Hence our effort to remedy both the
cause and effect"

Pure Food Law Gets
Body Blow says Wiley

WASHINGTON, d. c., March A.
1.-THE supreme court has killed the
pure food and drugs law" was the
emphatic assertion of DR.. Harvey w
Wiley, former chief chemist of the
United States government today in
discussing the tribunals recent rul-
ing in the bleached flour cases that
adulteration must be harmful to
health to come within the law. DR..
Wiley prepared the following state
ment for the United Press:
The supreme court gave body
blow to the drug section of the law
when it announced in the Johnson
cancer case that the clause forbid
ding false and misleading statements
applied only to the constituents of the
medicine and not its drug properties.
Congress at once proceeded to cor
rect the fault by enacting an amend
ment bringing curative claims into
the scope of the law.
| sincerely hope that similar ac-
ton will be taken in the case of the
present decision. To permit the un-
restricted addition of poisons to foods
unless such can be proved specifical-
ly injurious paralyzes that section of
the law relating to harmful adulter-
ations as completely as the former
decision paralyzed the drug section
In these two decisions the supreme
court has killed the food and drugs
law. Under the present decision a
man may add traces of arsenic, stry-
chnine and other drugs to food with
impunity. The fault, according to the
court decision, consists in the phrase
which may prove harmful to health"
The people should call on congress to
strike out that phrase.
Happily the ethical spirit of manu-
facturers will prevent this decision
from being general threat
