Such an institution should not be
a jail or even a reformatory, but

MORALS COURT REPORT SHOWS
SOME REAL HUMANITY 3
There's a good deal of real justice,
justice mixed with humanity, in the
first report of the Morals Court.
The report shows the record of the
court from April Z, 1913, to Dec. /,
1913. In that time 5,0O5 cases were
heard and fines aggregating $16,37S
imposed ,-. 49,
Z After short review of the work of
the court the following paragraphs
are given:
"As a result of. such astounding
revelations as these, based as they
are on scientific Investigations cover
ing a long period of time, it would
seem that our present system of fines
and punishrnents in this class of
cases is a misconceived remedy. If so
per cent of the women engaged in
commercial vice are feeble-minded
and are obeying impulses which they
cannot control and for which they
are in no wise responsible, then logi-
cally they have committed no crime
and should not receive the punish
ments that are melted out only to
criminals. Fines do not cure en-
feebled minds, nor do Jail sentences
improve the mental capacity of the
hereditarily mental defective.
at would appear that some other
kind of institution or institutions
than are now at hand should be pro-
Wded: First, a psychopathic's insti-
tute, where expert psychologists may
diagnose these cases and present
their histories to the courts: and, sec
ond, an asylum or home or colony

Girl TeIIs of Her Part in a Revolt
 ing Homicide.

Galesburg, Ills, Jan. 1e-Robert Higgins confessed today that he mur- dered his wife at New Henderson, Ills January ,, so that he would be free to marry his stepdaughter, Julia Flake, 15 years old.
 He was arrested after the girl told States Attorney John M. Wilson of her infatuation for Higgins and that she importuned him to dispose of her mother who. she said. was the only obstacle between her and happiness. She said she was in the next room when Higgins fired the shotgun which brought instant death to her mother. She told how Higgins raved and strug- gled with neighbors for possession of the gun, saying he would end his own life Then she said, they explained that Higgins had been cleaning the gun and it had been accidentally dis charged.
 Their story was so convincing that the coroner's jury returned a verdict of accidental death.
 Higgins. who is 26 years old and several years the junior of the woman he killed, was found today at New Henderson. 1I1e was questioned for several hours and made many contra dictions, Fnroute to the county jail at AIedo, in an automobile he broke down was taken into a back office and signed typewriter confession.

 Neither Captain Henry Lawrence the master, nor the chief officer, A. Capon. would discuss the trouble but members of the recw asserted they would file with the British consul charges of drunkenness against, Cap tain Lawrence and would make every effort to be allowed to quit the ship Before the Philadelphia cleared the Columbia river bar. the sailors said, the master became intoxicated and re- mained in this condition for several days. Off the bar the ship ran into a terrific storm, and the captain, they declared, compelled the crew to spread on all the canvas the ship carried. As the sailors were making fast an anch- or, the captain drove them off. The falling anchor stove in several plates, and throughout the trip there was three or four feet of water in the fore castle.
 On the third day, the men say, they went aft to state their grievances, but were driven forward by the captain with a butchers cleaver
