government has no power to intervene
IN behalf of a deportee even when the
judicial department recognizes that the
executive has been arbitrary and abu-
sive; that citizenship may under some
circumstances be revoked in order to
bring the deportee within the jurisdc-
ton of the executive branch; and that
the decision Of Congress as to what con-
stitutes deportable offense is not sub
Ject to review by the courts.
Eighteen states rave laws Furnishing
sabotage as substantive crime, and
criminal syndicalism' laws thus def
nltely deal not with the destruction of
property, but only with the Indictment
thereto.
I'm so far as these laws operate to
make conspiracy, unlawful assembly, and
solicitation 'endangering the public
peace felonies instead OF misdemeanors
they add little to the substance of our
criminal law. But by the liberal use of
the unscientifc term criminal syndi-
calsm' the legislators have prevented
themselves from seeing that they were
IN fact dealing with conspiracy and
solicitation"

MURDER
OF STORE KEEPER
AT LUTZ, FLORIDA

Tampa. Dec. 2S.-Tom Brown, a
negro, was arrested Sunday afternoon
and lodged in Jail on a charge of mur-
dering man named Chambers, who
ran a grocery store at Lutz. The
body of Chambers was found in bed
Saturday morning, with the head cut
open, a bloody axe lying on the floor,
and a 3S caliber revolver, identified as
the property of Chambers, lying near.
The window was broken, and the
merderer evidently entered through
it. Robbery was probably the motive,
although Chambers had, according to
his habit, deposited his saving and ac-
counts in the safe at the nearby ex-
press Office.
E. H. Drake, postmaster and depot
agent, notified the sheriff of the
crime, and assisted in tracing the
murderer. Suspicion pointed to me-
grOes working in neighboring camp
They had made repeated visits to the
store, and excited the alarm of the
proprieor by their strange conduct.
Joe Brown, who was arrested in
Tampa, where he was preparing to
take train at the Union station, had
blood on his clothes, which he said
was from cut on his face made
while shaving. No positive evidence
connecting him with the crime has
been discovered, but he will be held
on suspicion until full investigation
is made.
