the governors conference here today
MACS a plea for the abolition OF CAPT.
tai punishment and invited the CO.
operation OF his brother executives to
accomplishing this END.
sThe one argument for infiction OF
death penalty-that IT acts as deter

nois was disgraced with 6o1 homlcides

of capital punishment. Our nelsnDof-
ing state. Wisconsin, where IL mas
been abolished. showed less than fifty
nercent for the same year. Federal
statistics show that states without
capitsl punishment have the least
homicides.
IF It Is wrong for one man TO XIII
a man. if 1t is wrong for three men
to kill man, is it any the less wrong
for twenty men to Kill man!
AS the executive of great COM
monwealth. ask you, my Drother
executives. to give this matter your
careful consideration.
Governor Hunt spoke against the
death penalty. He asked II IL were

PARIS IMPROVED
AT END OF YEAR
solidity of the Bank of France
Aids in Recovery from Errors
In Use of Moratorium.
rBy Cable to The Trisuns.l

Paris. Jan. 1.-The great feature OF
IN. financial year, as viewed at this
centre, is the inherent solidity Of the
Bank Of France, which by its splendid
organization has atoned for the blum
ders and inexperience Of those who
managed the financial affairs of the
nation at the outbreak of the war.
They had managed to fetter COM
mercial vitality and initiative by put
ting all business in the LAGOON coils
of the moratorium, which are gradu-
ally being neutralized by the sound
practical acumen of Alexandra Ribot,
the present Minister of Finance.
As is always the case at the end OF
the year, business has slowed down,
but very firm tone prevails. The sue
cess Of the issue of the national de-
fence treasury bonds is a barometer
of the value Of French securities. Lead
ing French banks have now decided not
to avail themselves longer of the priv
ileges OF the moratorium, and have re-
turned to conditions prevailing before
the war broke out. This produces an
excellent impression.
