Crime Increasing; War One Cause
Within Two Years Nearly Every Prison in the Country Has Become Croywded|Lack of Home Training Absence of Vocational Education and General Unpreparedness of Youth Among the Indirect Causes. According to Report Made at Congress of the American Prison Association.

Buffalo, N. Y, Oct. e.-Cgdme is in- creasing, as is shown by ever-orowd. ed prisons throughout the country, and the fact may be traced in large part to the Influence of the European war; according to the report of the com. mittee on discharged prisoners, pre- scented by F. Emory Lyon, chairman, to the American Prison association at its congress here today.
 After discussing the efforts that were being made to provide yrfendiy guard ianEhip of discharged prisoners, as well as those on probation or parole, and pointing to the need of still further CO., operation, Mr. Lyons said:
 Meanwhile, and doubtless In part because we have not approached the question from sufficiently thorough This Is no idle assertion, such as has been made several times, but rarely Justified, or verified. Until the past two years as a matter Of fact, there was little, if any evidence that crime was increasing faster tr1a.n the natural increase in population. The court or our penal institutions has remained at about the same for nearly generation.
 ''But within these two years, nearly every prison of the country has be- come crowded. One state in the mid de west has a thousand more convict ed felons today, than 1t had two years ago. The prison population of other states and Of the federal Institutions have similarly increased. If 1t were not for the fact that some 10000 men in the different states are at work up- on honor farms and az road making, the overcrowding would be more ap- parent than it Is.
 One may cite numerous indirect causes for this increase. There IS the
Norwich bulletin., 1916-10-10

continued lack of home-training and control; thtl absence of vocational ed. ucation. the insufficient facilities for recreation, and the generalunprepared- ness of youth for the responsibilitiea of life.
 "A large contributing factor is found in the intermittent employment and age workman. worse still is the chronic condition of unemployment which has prevailed until within few months.
 "A sttn more striking cause of ths increase in crime, in the view of many, Is to be found in the great war. With ~ dozen nations at each others threats, destroying life and property at san un- precedented raee can there be any oth- senee of the sacredness of human life, and indifference as to the import ance of material values? If the aver age citizen becomes more callous over the accounts oc human slaughter, what of the slightly less than normal, more easily influenced, and less alive to the higher sensibilities and untrained in ethical standards?
 "The war, therefore, with all it's oth- CT burdens, is doubtless bringing its harvest of crime in all countries, and this harvest will continue beyond the present generation.
 With this growing problem before us therefore and becoming more im- mediate and menacing every day, there Is need for all the wisdom and consecration of individual citizens, the efforts of all agencies applied at every stage, and for the active application of all principles of prevention, and the utmost efficiency of systems of cor rection."

The continued report of Supt. John Lee Chapma.. of the town schools reads:
 In the ! .t schools good work along agricultur;.. lines has been done. teed testing, home garden work, and in Black Hill school work in sewing, folk dancing and other special lines has been successfully carried on. This work meets >,ith the approval of the parents and strengthens tine other work of the srho&.
 Cost Per Pupil $73.69.
 The only matter to which I wish to call attention is the excessive cost per pupil in the Stone Hill school. The cost per pupil was $7S.69. It is be- yond question that these pupils would be better educated at a far lower cost were they transported to the Plain field school. This excessive cost raises the average for the town beyond what it has been for the past few years The average cost for our large schools, Plainfieid. Moosup and Central Village, is but S25.93, a figure much below the average for the state. With the eXcep- ton of Pond Hill all our rural schools average nearly $10 more than the av- craze for the state.
 Consolidation a Benefit.
 The state board of education favors consolidation, and within reasonable limits 1t IS certain that children can ne better and more eheaply educated in well graded schools than in small rural schools. The sentiment of the town of Plainfield, however, seems to he against such consolidation, but the superintendent feels that the facts should be given, that all may under stand just where the increased cost per pupil comes.
 Important Subjects Omitted.
 In one respect the superintendent feels that the schools of the town are not up to the etandard-that is, the marked absence of vocational subjects and such subjects as drawing, music and domestic arts.
 Short Sighted Conservatism.
 President Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard university, says in a re- cent paper: 'Multitudes of Americans continue to regard sense training sub- jects as fads and superfuities. They say the public elementary schools ing, spelling and arithmetic, and let natural sciences, drawing, music, do- mestic arts and crafts and manual training severely alone. This doctrine is dangerously conservative; for 1t would restrict the rising generation to memory studies, and give them no real acquaintance with the sciences and arts, which within a hundred years have revolutionized all the industries of the white race, modified profoundly all the political and ethical conceptions of the freedom loving peoples and add

HI]CHES SEEMS TO BE THE WINNER IN PRESl-
 DENTAL ELECTION INDICATED BY EARLY RETURNS

the night wore away the defeat of Will son seemed more and more a fact. It seemed thas most of the states had long tickets and the returns repre- scented only a, small percentage of the vote Early in the night the big New York and Chicago dailies began to announce the election of Hughes. Be tween II and 12 the Arkansas Gazette stated that it looked like all Hughes to them. It is hard at this time to tell how many of the middle states will go, tEe vote being close. In Kansas it is neck and neck. Wilson is winning in Missouri. He has carried Colorado. California is close With Wilson slight ly leading.
 The crowds at the News office where the returns were received little en- ccuragement but the more hopeful re- mained until 12 o'clock and then drift ed home and to bed At no time did there seem room for great encourage ment. At 12:30 Wilson had in In- diana Al, ,146, and Hughes 149,597. In Iowa Wilson had 69,542 Hughes 87363, | Michigan Wilson 4S,513, Hughes 56,- 6O6; New Mexico Wilson 1543, Hughes 147S.

The indications as we go to press after midnight are that Hughes has been elected to succeed Woodrow Wilson as president of the United States. Returns, though far from complete, indicate that Hughes has carried the great pivotal states of New York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana. Ohio is still in doubt, however, with the doubt favoring Hughes. The bulletins, which are given below in the order that the returns came in tell the story. The drift from the very earliest returns seemed to be toward Hughes, and as

MRS. BEN DILES AND I5.MONTHS OLD CHILD MISSING FROM HOME ALL NIGHT; FOUND
 MURDERED IN WOODS
NO ARRESTS MADE
Bod es We're Found Half Mile West of Ashd0wn in Pine Thicket-Woman Was Shot With Own Gun; The
 Child Grained With Gun.

The mother with her head nut
 Hated and partly shot away, and
 her baby with it's head crushed,
 the bodies of Mrs. Ben Diles, 31
 years old and her 15-months-old
 baby girl, were found Saturday
 morning in the woods about a half
 mile west of this city. The bodies
 were about ha'f mile south of their home, tHe Frisco section ! house beyond the Fond, and with
 in 100 yards of the new Richmond
 rock road That the motne. and
 child were murdered there is no
 question, the motive being rob
 bery. Near the bodies lay single
 barreled shotgun, which had Lean
 t.ihen from the Diles home, and
 with which the double murder had
 been committed. The gun had
 been discharged and the shell lay
 on the ground by the body of the
 woman. The gun was unbreach-
 ed and. the stock broken, showing
 that it was disabled by tde blow
 that crushed out the fife of the
 child
 The woman and child had been from the home since the even ing before. wren their absence were discovered by Mr. Diles cn his re- turn from work at 6 o'clock. He had promptly given the alarm, and he and others had spent the night in search ing. The bodies were found by the negro section boys, MT. Diles' crew. who had never given up the hunt throughout the long night.
 Sheriff w. D. Waldrop and a num- Ter of other officers took up the search at once and and have continued almost day and night since, but at this date no arrests have been made. BlocdhounGs arrived from New Boston Saturday afternoon, but the trail was too old and too many people had been in the woods, and the dogs were sent back. The town and country about was aroused over the crime, and large sums have been raised by popular subscription as a reward for the cap ture and conviction of the guilty par ty or parties.
 When the news reached town that the bodies of the murdered woman and babe had been found in the woods, hundreds made their way to the scene. A News reporter was one of the early arrivals. On account to the dense- ness of the timber the spot could only be found by following the ans wering shouts of those on the scene. Suddenly through the brush were dis coverd group of men. The silent group of negroes, who had made the discovery, sat in the back-Grcrnd In a little open space by the side of burned pine lay two forms. The wo- man, with the lower half of her face shot away, lay face down, her hands crossed under her body, ghastly sight. The little tot lay three feet or so from her on it's back, it's face dis colored with blood. To the right of the woman lay the discarded and broken shotgun with the strands of baby hair on it's stock, the gun which had been taken from the Diles' home. A few feet away reclin- the grief stricken husband and father, crying aloud in the anguish of his deep grief. Strong men looked on the scene, cried out and with tense muscl- es turned away.
