GAZE UPON DEAD VICTIMS
Chicago Justice Insists They Visit
Morgue in Psychological Effort
To Cure Their Craze

Chicago, Aug. 20.-Judge Stelll, cf
the Speeders' Court, has evolved .
new punishment to harrow the heart
of the reckless auto driver. He SEN
fenced eight men up for speeding to
be taken through the county mogre
and hospital to gaze on the dead and
manned victims of automobile drivers.
1.-TWO hundred more vii lbe dead be-
fore the first of the year," said the
Judge, "if reckless driving continues
as it ha sin the past.
"I'm going to keep sending you Of
tenders who come to me time after
time out to the morgue and the hos
pital. If those sights don't touch your
hearts nothing will. 1 think that e
little psychology may do more than
all the fines can impose; even the
most outrageous violators of the speed
regulations must be touched with the
Sights Oh Iie Sul1Sl4IlS lelSSo VI oOIhS
Of these little children"
The men protested and pleaded to
have the fines assessed.
"No" replied the Judge: Il will
postpone your trial until after you
make this trip. My minute. clerk is in
bed in plaster casts now due to reck-
less driving" :;
In the morgue the subdued drivers
saw the body of a dead child which
had been mangled by machine. The
body of another child had just bee"
taken home.
Warden thinner, of the county hos
pital, showed them fifteen tortured
victims of automobile drivers, several
of whom will never get well. A seri-
Gus and unhappy party adjourn
ter the trip.

sLAYERS DIE MISERABLY
Farmers Three Heartless Murderers
Lose Nerve at Electrocution

Trenton, Aug. 20.--At the State
prison last night Frank Lavieri, Mich
eel Depaln1a and Gereno Palemri paid
the death penalty in the electric chair
fer the murder of Roman Smith, an
aged farmer, at his home near New
Brunswick in 1918. Every effort was
made to save the murderers. Cover
.or Runyon refused to call special
session CT the Court of Pardons to
consider commutation Of sentences be-
cause Chancellor Walker informed
him that the murder was an excap-
.ionalIy cruel and cold blooded one.
As one of the men was taken past
the cell Of Camille Martin, awaiting
ele9trocution for the murder of a
ewark jeweler Martin yelled at tns
death guard: "You ought to be
ashamed of yourselves"
Each of the murderers lost his nerve
at the last minute. Two had TO be
h,lped to the death chair, and the
third was actually carried by the
guards. This was Lavieri, who butted
his head against his cell as the watch
vert for him. He collapsed completely
ard the guards picked him up bodily
and carried him, face down. As he was
strapped into the chair he quieted
down and gave up without further
scene. From the time the first of the
three men entered the electrocution
chamber until the last was pronounced
dead just % minutes lapsed.

papture in the way CT universal bar
gain sale is over, but that it will be
a day which will be long remember
ed by the merchants and the shopping
public of the city, is evidenced by
tao many expressions Of satisfac-
ton with the day, from every mer-
chant participating in the sale.
Opinions expressed this morning by
many of the merchants participating
in the sale were to the effect that the
sale should be repeated at least four
times each year. Others were of the
opinion that change in the name of
the sale would give the public a much
greater opportunity to purchase what
ever articles they wished at greatly
reduced prices. Whether this plan will
be carried out or not rests with the
interested merchants and they will no
doubt have an opportunity to express
opinions in the near future.
Not a merchant included in the sale
had word to say against the sale
when spoken to by a representative of
the Gazette today. Some of the va
rious opinions are included below,
and every ether man, who made pre-
parations for the sale is enthusiastic

OPENS THE WAY
FOR COMPROMISE
President Tells Senator'S
There Are No Reason
able Objections
MAY END THE FIGHT
Eyecutive Makes Clear, However, That
He Will Oppose Textual Changes in
Treaty

| President Wilson paved the way
Yesterday for compromise with the
Senate on the treaty of peace with
Germany when he told the members
of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations that "there can be ~ r.
sonable objections to such internre-
tations accompanying the act q
ratification, provided they do not
form a part of the ratification It
self"
This frank statement was made a.
the opening Of the conference be-
tween the President and the Commit
tee yesterday morning, conference
which will become historic if its u,ti-
mate result is an understanding be-
tween the Executive and the Senat?
upon one of the momentous questions
which the American Government has
ever faced.
Nor did the President contert him
self with this invitation to the Sen
ate to meet him half way upon az
agreement as to the American m
dcrstandng of the league Of nations
covenant. During the questioning
which followed he repeated his will
ingness to have such an under stand
ing set forth in formal fashion.
But this IS not to be taken as
Willingness on his part to accept any
amendment to the peace treaty, anv
teXtiral change whatever, or even any
qualification of that document when
necessitates its re-submission either
to the peace conference or to any or
al! of the siGnatories for thc;r ap-
rroval The President thinks it would
be a mistake to take any such step.
All that the President feels that Il
will be safe to do in that direction is
tC pass an accompanying resolution
which will give this Governments s
Interpretation cf its obligations un-
der the disputed articles Of, the lea
CUE. These articles include that pro-
vid;ng for the withdrawal Of a-mcn-
Der nation after two years notice
has been given, and Articles 10 and II
which seem to impose upon every
member the duty of safeguarding the
territory interests of every other
against external aggression.
And it now remains for the Senate
to decide whether or not the invita-
ton Of the President is to be accepted
CT whether the demand Of Senator's
Lodge and Knox for stra;ghtout
amendments to the league covenants.
is to be followed. Meanwhile the COM
mittee on Foreign Affairs, having cy-
tr;.cted from the President all the in
formation that its members have
asked for collectively and individually
will meet and formulate report.
It is too soon to forecast the action
CT that committee, but from impress
sions gained today the majority mem
hers are inclined to relax their rigid
opposition to the peace treaty as i
stands and to seek some means of
meeting the offer of the Prcsiden.
for mild reservations entirely remov-
ed from the resolution of ratification.
