The verdict of second-degree murder
was gross miscarriage of justice Mrs
Eppley is right in her feeling. The Court
supports this view. In pronouncng SEN
tence of the maximum penalty on Mascia,
the actual slayer, Judge Carr said that
the evidence presented clearly warranted
a verdict in the first degree. His charge to
the jury should have brought such a re.
turn. The carefully prepared testimony Of
the Commonwealth justified no other de.
csion. The jury exercised its constitu-
tional right of relativty of Judgment; but
according TO the commentary of the Court,
exercised it badly Possibly it realized
that, after all, Mascia was merely an
ignorant tool.

expect to find that England, depending on

increased her fish takings during the war
But this has not been the case. Before
the war the British yearly supply was
1,200,0 900 tons. In 1914 it was only ss2 900
in 1915 it fell to 427,00O and in 1915 to
100000. Fishing boats had to be used in
naval defense; U-boats had made many
fishing grounds unavailable.
Unaffected by U-boats America has made
immense strides in fisheries. The figures

southerners. of course. being the larger mum.
Der. AS the doctrine of States rights had its
nome In the South, although recently adopted
ny many northerners who have observed the
tendency of the Administration to Federalize
almost everything, II was amusing to see the
gentlemen from the southern States hop,
skip and jump on this proposition
One of the sarcastic members from the
South recalled that the leader of the prohibit
ton forces. Mr.. Webb, of North Carolina
mad delivered some very learned utteranCes
in support of States rights on the child-abor
bill. The House Uttered n this allusion be-
cause 1t remembered that the distinguished
chairman of the judiciary Committee when
opposing the chld-labor law because 1t inter
fered with the sovereign rights of North
Carolina to manage its own affairs had taken
a position that seemed to be directly antag
onlstic to that taken by him as the proponent
OF Federal law to compel the States to
yield their sovereignty on the liquor ques.
tion to the Federal Government.
But Mr. Webb won out on the prohibition
amendment. defeating the forces of Mr. Comp.
ers. who opposed 1t, and receiving the plaudits
or Mr.. Bryan, who favored it. so what did
he care? And as TO the child-labor law with
true legal intuition. Mr.. Webb contends It is
entirely different from the prohibition arlend-
ment and in due course will be held by the
Supreme Court of the United States to be
unconstitutional. The chairman OF the Ju.
dietary Committee points to the decision of
the courts of North Carolina to sustain this
viewpoint.
In another instance Congress or at least
some Congressman laid themselves open to

The leaders concluded, however, that it
would be better to emphasize the fact by
the passage of an amendment which they
permitted to go through. not, however. with.
