THE DEATH PENALTY.
Because II Is Not Enforced Murder Is
Common Crime In America.

To THE EDITOR or rms SrN-Sir: The
hearing held az Albany on the subject
OF capital punishment brought forth the
usual amount OF bathos ard inverted

dcrers. There are about 5000 homicides
in the United states In a year. and not
one murderer In a hundred IL executed.
This Ia a literal and exact statement.
There were Just seventy.four executions
IN the whole OF the year 1914. and ten
Of those were not for murder, but for
criminal assault.
The argument il made that capital

stopping the crime at which IL is aimed
will be apparent " We attempt to
imagine A punishment that would or
could lave such an effect Why thus
set up 4 toolishly impossible standard,
requiring perfection where the utmost
possibility is only an APPROXIMATION?
And capital punishment IL a waste
Of human life" We are told. We

disgrace to civilization. encouraged the
gentle art OF murder TO the extent OF
furnishing more than a hundred times

what is il that wastes human life, the
law or the sentimental fatuience or
s1ueanishuess which guards and cod

assassins, the thousands Of slayers OF
their kind who shame the United States?

American Intervention in Behalf Of
Civilian Prisoners.

There is likely TO be more or less
misunderstanding about the announce.
ment in Washington that an arrange.
ment has been made between Great
Britain on one side and Germany and
Austria on the other TO allow repre-
sentatives Of the United States 10
inspect prisoner camps and distribute
supplies to prisoners from their own
Governments or from other sources
also, which is the important thing.
TO facilitate release or exchange. The
prisoners in whose behalf the United
states proposes to use its good offices
are civilians and not combatantS; yet
the Washington statement makes CON
flSing references to sensational and
inhaming stories about the i'll treat
ment Of military prisoners Of war in

France. Germany and Austria-llun-
gary as calling upon the United

for aside from consideration of hui

the warning nations to take average
good care Of the large number of mill

Of III treatment are generally false and
malignant. The detention camps for
civilians present something Of a prob

ment in the present war wants to be
burdened with nOn-cOmbatants, and
vet IL has seemed necessary 10 put a
great many civilians into camps for
various reasons that seemed war
ranted at the time. No doubt bad
Judgment was used in some cases,
but officials erred on what they
deemed the safe side. Many Of these
non.combatants claimed the assistance
OF American Ministers and consular
officers who were representing the
nation to which the civilian prisoners
belonged.
1t was therefore in order for Mr.
CHASpIrG l.. ANDERSON. formerly

to approach bclligerent Governments
under instructions and see what could
