Peril in Our Prison System.

Our penal system ID near tho point
of breaking down, according to Ray
mond b. Fosdiok Of New York, who has
given great amount of study to, and
has Just issued a work on the subject.
He rightfully declares that criminal law
in America il a game in which the de-
fcndant is given every chance to escape,
fair and unfair, while everything possible
is placed in the way of the prosecution.
To such an extent has this situation de-
veloped that under present conditions 1T
would seem 10 be the community that
stands in need of protection, rather than
tho criminal"
Mr.. Fosdick, in proving his state
ment cites summaries from the New
York police records which show that in
1918, for example, there were 22l homi-
oides in that city, with $50 arrests, ~
convictions of which only six received
death sentences Other years and the
figures of other cities of this country
almost duplicate this statement.
Conditions are very different IN the
Old World, according to the same au-
thority. In London there were 20 cases OF
premeditated murder in one year, recent
ly. In six of these cases the perpetrators
committed suicide; one escaped TO Italy
and one was sent TO an asylum. Of tho
twelve persons arrested and tried, one
WAS acquitted FIVE were adiudged insane
and six were sentenced to death.
|. Mr.. Fusidck wisely concludes that
under tho system of treating the criminal
classes in this country, crime must nat
urally increase, while the morale of our
police is broken and eventually becomes
as inefficient es procedure against culprits.
It in notorious that in the larger cities,
or even in those Of our size, the increase
in crime has been very rapid; il is CON
stantly growing, and tho police here, as
elsewhere, ara unable to cope with the
criminal classes with the success that Is
desired. Here, as elsewhere, there have
been hold-ups and robheries in the larger
cities, even many midday robberies- There
are score Of cases in the newspapers
every week reporting the killing Of man
or woman for some trivial aifront, or for
money. These stories pour in so fre-
quontly that everybody has long ago
wondered If there is not q defect IN our
method Of Furnishing criminals, and there
are some who believe it has broken down.
If this is true, what of the claims OF
the so-called prison reformers who have
been leoturing and protesting that only
kindness and gentleness can cure the GRIM
inal Of his sin? Every city OF any size has a
long list of unsolved homicidal mysteries
Wilmington has two or three such and
probably we here may find the answer IN
the decentralization Of police work in
general through the protection that the
custom Of the courts or the procedure in
such cases throws around the prlsoned
and hampers the prosecution.
The false propaganda Of treating muir
derers as though they were simply spoiled
children, or the bank burglar as if be had
just made trifiing mistake, is turning
our jails into summer or winter rest
houses for the criminal classes, who emerge
from their retirement entirely convinced
that the ways Of tire crook are preferable
to those who spend their lives In honest
toll.

The American universities are no longer

This record set by Harvard freshmen
shows what rapid strides have already

Court yesterday TO recover $1,000
damages for the publication of com

high member Of the Russian Orthodox
Church, that he always has enjoyed
the vencration, respect and esteem of
his coreligionists and "never has been
guilty of misconduct, hypocrisy or If
Righteousness"
The Clergyman complained that a
communication published in the news

defamatory' besides being untrue. This
communication was sent to the Car
