This bill Is nothing less than a gen.
eral Jail delivery. 1t defeats the very
purpose OF the judges whose extreme
sentences recently broke the wave Of
crime in this city. It puts complete
paroling' power In the hands of any
judge and vitiates the powers Of the
Board of Parole. 1 am unalterably OPP
posed to this measure or anything like
it. 1t is pernicous"
District Attorney Rotan thus voiced
his opposition to the bill fathered by
Representative James A. Walker and
passed by the House on Monday night
He said that he would oppose its pass
age in the Senate, and will ask the upper
chamber to defeat 1t as unwise and
rctrogressivc.
The Walker bill provides that any
Judge may parole convict who has
been sentenced since June 30, 1911, after
lie has served onc-third Of the sentence
imposed upon him at the time Of his
conviction. Under the present law no
penitentiary inmate can be pardoncd by
the court, but must take his case to the
Board of pardons,
Under this bill freddy Jake Melln-
coff -anster and gambler, would be eli
gih'c to freedom, despite the fact that
IN" Board Of Pardons recently refused
hun a parole,

for

stead OF making It easier for criminals
to regain their freedom It should be
made more difficult than at present lie
said he did not know of a single inmate
OF the penltentiary who didn't belong
there.
Thinks system Too Easy
"Tho present system is easy enough
he said, without making a. general Jail
delivery possible through tho Walker
bill. At the present time the judges
can parole a prisoner at the county
Jail, but cannot exercise this function
to those committed to the penitcntiary.
This is wise provision, and any at
tempt TO weaken it should be defeated.
Under the present system any Judge
may parole a man in the county prison.
But would make this impossible and
permit only the committing judge TO
have that power. In this connection,
too. my idea OF a satisfactory law is
that before any parole be granted to a
county prisoner it should come before
the committing judge only: it should be
advertised and given pftiless publicity
and the District Attorney and the pri.
vate prosecutor notified that the prisoner
has asked for parole from the court.
"In any event, we don't want this
bill. IT throws the Jail doors wide open
and they are ajar enough now"

PROMISE HOT DEBATE
ON NATION LEAGUE
Senator Hitchcock Meets
George Wharton Pepper
Here April 10

Discussion on the constitution of the
league OF nations between George Whar-
ton Pepper and Senator Gilbert NJ.
Hitchcock, of Nebraska. will be a real
debate" and not merely an exchange
Of prepared addresses.
This announcement was made today
by Isaac A. Pennypacker, secretary for
the eastern Pennsylvania division of
tho League for the Preservation of
American Independence.
The debate will be held in the Met
ropoIitan Opera House Thursday night,
April 10. Mr.. Pepper is chairman of
the hoard of directors of the league
and president of the eastern Pennsyl-
yania division. Senator Hitchcock is
generally looked upon as the spokesman
I OF President Wilson on the league of
nations.
samuel H. Clement. Jr., is chairman
OF the committee Oh arrangements.
chief Justice J. Hay Brown. of the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court, has
agreed to act as chairman and introduce
the speakers. Senators Penrose and
k,sox. members of the House of Rep
resensatiyes from Philadelphia. Judges
8of the Supreme, Superior and Federal
Courts. as we'll as other leading men,
will be on tho platform.
Thousands of applications for seats
nave .Deeu IcSelNSu lIOHt all pfiIlS OL
tho state.
'srhe plans call for but two speakers"
said Mr.. Pennypacker, and it is not
likely that the entire debate will require
more than two hours. Mr.. Pepper and
Senator Hitchcock are to confer this
week to determine who shall speak first.
II Is decided, however, that the affair
will not be merely a presentation of
views in set speeches.
fsrhe man who speaks first will be an
swered by the other and then will have
opportunity for rebuttal Whether it
will be necessary to go beyond this plan
remains to be seen, but it is certain that
this is to be a real debate.
Such debates are interesting not
only from the viewpoint that they throw
light on current topics, but also from
II the historical point of view. The last
great series of political debates in this
country was between Lincoln and Doug
lass prior to the Civil War.
'srhe debates on the league of ma.
tons and its constitution are equally
= Important. Probably they will loom
z just as large in history as the league
OF nations takes shape"
