Questions Confession

This being the same case, and since
Brown was convicted entirely upon
eircumstantial evidence. and an al
eyed confession made at a time wher
I is by no means certain that he was
still under the influence Of duress. and
the further fact that it cannot be
known what the effect would have
been upon the jury if it had known
that a material witness for the Gov
eminent had testified falsely, either
before the Naval Board of Inquiry or
before the trial court. it became nee
essary to grant a further respite.
Il am hopeful that the case may be
disposed of before the last respite ex-
pires, but am not at all sure that it
can be done, and if not, further re-
spite will be requested. realize the
desirability of prompt enforcement of
the law in cases of this character, pro-
vided the condemned is clearly and
certainly guilty. but where man is
convicted upon eircumstantial evil
dence expedition is by no means as
important as careful and thorough in
vestigation to see that no mistake is
being made in the execution OF the
condemned. Respectfully.
HARRY II. DAUGHERTY.

Cause OF First Respite

"That was the situation in the
Brown case, and the first respite was
granted that the matter might be
properly presented to the department,
reports and recommendation secured
thereon, and this department and the
President act before the condemned
was executed.
"A petition and papers were pre-
sented and the reports and recommen-
lations of the District Attorneys
pffice and the trial judge were re-
.eived, at which time it was discov-
red that the stenographic notes OF
he testimony taken at the trial had
not been transcribed. This the de-
oartment had done, but it took some
weeks, and by the time the transcript
was received Brown was about due to

Dear Mr.. Ritchie-Replying to
your letter of July 5, 1921, regarding
the respite recently granted Henry a.
Brown, who was convicted of the muir
der of Miss Kavanaugh, permit me to
state that this matter is in the hands
of the pardon attorney, where 1t has
been since the petition for commute
ton of sentence was presented 10 the
department The situation is as fol-
lows:
Every person condemned to die by

case considered by the President be-
fore he is executed. In many instances
AS in the present case-the con-
demned does not realize his privilege,
or is too poor or ignorant TO have his
application prepared, and the matter
IS delayed until shortly before the date
set for execution.

Sale Of Wine And Beer Would Boost
 Treasury Receipts
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-Modifi- cation of the national prohibition amendment to permit sale of beer and wine would mean an addition to the governments revenue of half a billion dollars a year. high treasury officials said today. Estimates made in connection with proposed legis- lation to legslize the sale of beer and wine have revealed, officials said. that 500.000,000 yearly would be collected in taxes from this source.
 While no indication of the treas- ury's attitude toward such legisla- ton was disclosed. it was stated offi- cially, however. that the treasury would not oppose such a step off, cials discussed today the possibility of such a measure in the event of

 Senator Shoot, Republican of Utah, took exception to many of the state ments of the witnesses presenting the case for the American companies. He declared conditions in Cuba were 10 worse than those in this country and announced that he favored the protection of American capital in vested in this country as against American capital invested in other countries.
 Spokesmen for the industry in the United States testified that the beet sugar industry had been developed in r states; that there was invested in 1t s2oO, 900, 900 with e5 factories. It now is producing annually 100000 tons of sugar, or nearly one-fourth Of the domestic consumption, and is retaining waste land because the beets will grow where other produce will not The acreage now is ESQ., GOO and the farmers raising the crop number 100000. who give employment to an additional s5.000.
 Given proper protection, the witt nesses argued, the industry would ex- pand where it could supply most of the domestic demand and in case of war make the country independent of foreign countries. It also was con- tended that the raising of beets inn proved farm lands.
 As to the tax on the people repre- scented in the duty. it was contended that this amounted to only $1.44 for each inhabitant each year and that te industry was worth such an ex- penditure.

that they will carry the point. but they do hope to cut in half the sub marine tonnage tentatively suggested Tor the United States, Great Britain and Japan in the American plan.
 Under this plan, Great Britain would have 90,000 tons in submarines. the United States 90,000 and Japan 54,O0O. Figuring out the ratio on the same basis, Q 175.000 ton capital ship fleet for France, would allow her a submarine tonnage Of 3O,O00 tons. That would be very far below the figure the French desire especially if they are to accept the American fig ures on capital ships
 The British desire to restrict close " submarine construction is said to rest not only on consideration of humanity, but on principles of na- tional defense. When used against merchant men, the underwater craft also constitutes menace to the nla- ritin1e nations of which Great Britain Is the most influential.
 : In the view of the American and French naval experts. however. and perhaps those of Italy and Japan. the activities of the submarine against merchant shipping can be curtafled by an agreement on new rules Of warfare, leaving only purely military considerations involved.
 As the capital ship problem verges toward a decision, the naval experts are giving more and more of their attention to the submarine question. as one likely to present a trouble some knot
 France Must Give Tn
 Although the French capital ship discussion simmered down at their crucial stage to direct exchanges be- tween MT. Hughes and Premier Briand, it was learned today that the American delegates repeatedly had sought to impress on the French rep resentatives in informal conferences, the necessity for recession from the 350,000 ton plan.
 In these. behind the scene consulta- tfons, the French were told that they were proceeding On false basis, which would be destroyed before i. would be possible to erect any sound construction to shelter the concep- lions of relief of the world from heavy burdens of competitive naval ] increases.

HISTORY OF TRUAx CASE

F1io Oh VT hSN SA0G
 BISBEE, Ariz., Dec. 19.-The de- cision of the United States supreme court, handed down today, ended a legal battle started in this city five years ago. The litigation generally known as the "Truax case,' started in April, 1916. when the superior court of Cochise county refused to enjoin representatives of a. labor or ganization from picketing a restau- rant owned by William I'ruax
 The case was then. appealed to tho supreme court of Arizona and later. by writ of error to the United States supreme court, to test the constitu- tionality of paragraph 1464 of the re- vised statutes of Arizona commonly known as the Gompers anti-injunc- tion law.
 Counsel for Truax claimed that this statute was a glaring example of class legislation and that it violated the constitution of the United States by taking from some citizens right free accorded to others thus denying them equal protection Of the law.
 In furtherance of the strike and boycott, Truax claimed, the strikers stationed a number of piclSets on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant at Bisbee. The pickets walked back and forth in front of the door, car ryingsbanners, distributing circulars accostfng patrons and passersby and calling out in loud tones and vo- ciferous language their admonitions not to patronize the business, accord ing to the complaint As a result ot this there was a great falling off fir Truax' trade. he declared, and a. seri ous danger that his business would be destroyed, it was declared.

It was pointed out that America had volun- tarily undertaken to scrap ships to the value of $500, ,O0O.O00. and Great Britain had met this proposal by agreeing to duplicate it. Then it was asked what sacrifice was France to make to compensate these conces- SiOnS.
