now stood between. il and destruction.
The Doctor came out fiatfooted and
said that the only way of handling the
aliens who plotted to blow up muni-
ton factories and trains at the risk
of the lives of women and children
was to take them to the nearest lamp
post rather than to the sheriff. He
said his study of the psychology of
the Germans told him that this would
bring such outrages quickly to an end
and the imprisonment and fning of
them would only foster them.

speech emphasized the heroic part
that the man with the hoe was to

TELLS HOW COSTA RIGA
PRACTISES PREPAREDNESS
General Roman Says Men Have to
Serve Until They're Forty-five

General Roman Says Men Have to
Serve Until They're Forty-five
Brigadier General Aristides Roman,
the commander in chief of the Costa
Rican army, told of the preparedness
programme his government recently
adopted on his arrival yesterday on
the United Fruit liner Pastores, from
Havana.
Every male citizen of Costa Rica
is liable for military service, said
General Roman, who is a Belgian by
birth and was decorated by. former
King Leopold for distinguished service
TO his former country.
"All the boys of Costa RIGA at eigh-
teen are compelled to undergo a period
Of six months training. For the next
FIVE years they are compelled to spend
six months of every year in military
CAMPS, under the direction of staif
army officers. Until our male inhabl-
tants are forty-ive, they have to spend
part of each year in the service OF
their country"
Another passenger on the Pastores
was Ernesto Lefevre, who came from
Panama. The republic, he said, was
making a bid for outside capital TO de-
velop its natural resources. Recently,
lie added, a new railway was estab-
lished in the Province Of Chiriqui, from
the mountains to the sea, which has
opened up a large area for commerce,
as IL passes through an exceedingly
fertile country.

DEATHTRAP MAKER
is FOUND GUILTY
OF MANSLAUGHTER
Barkin Locked Door of Escape
in Factory Where Girls
We're Fatally Burned

Samuel Barkin, treasurer OF the Is
sex Waist Company, which was IN the
Diamond Candy Company building at
2s5 North Sixth Street, Brooklyn, where
a fire killed eight girls and four men
on November 6, 1915, was found guilty
Of manslaughter in the second degree
last night in the Supreme Court, Brook
Ign. The jury made recommendation
Of mercy to Justice Kapper.
Mrs. Ray Barkin, the convicted mans
wife, became hysterical when the YER
dict was announced and was carried
from the court screaming. Barkin was
taken to the Raymond Street jail,
where he will remain until Friday,
when sentence will be pronounced
From seven and q half to fifteen years
in states prison is the prescribed pun
ishment for the crime of which Barkln
is convicted.
The specific charge against the con-
victed man was that he had locked or
caused TO be locked a trapdoor leading
from the third to the second floor OF
the candy factory and so prevented
egress of Rose Goldman, one of the
victims. Barkin's attorneys confined
their efforts to an attempt to show that
the closed trapdoor was not respon-
sible for the girls death. They asked
for an acquittsl on the ground that
the State had not proved 70 the con-
trary.

Republicans Consider
New Nominating Plans

from a stan Core pondent Of The Tribune y
Albany, Jan. EFF the Republican
leaders in the Legislature are able to
summon enough courage the voters OF
the state will be asked at the election
next fall to approve of return to the
party convention system. The special
committee appointed by the Republl-
can Senate caucus two weeks ago 10
consider changes in the election law
favors such a proposition, and 1T is
considered altogether likely that the
Republicans will make it party meas
ure at this session. The committee, or
which Senator J. Henry Walters, OF
Syracuse, is chairman, will meet to-
morrow.
Several plans have been considered
by the body, all aimed at the present
direct primary. The three Fundamental
propositions in view are these: A re-
turn TO the nominating conventions; a
return to the designating committee.
supplemented by a. referendum of the
designating committees nominees at a
direct primary, and plan to reestab-
lsh the state convention by referen-
dunn to the people at the next election.
The last was advocated by Fred I.
Tanner, ex-charman of the State Com
mittee.
