AS SLAYER OF GIRL
Continued from First Pc9e.

afternoon. Medical examinations OF the
child's body. although not officially
made public yet, have shown that the
girl was attacked, and that after
ward the murderer stabbed her. The
wounds were all over her body.
ranging from her ankle to her throat,
AMI one Of them penetrated her heart.
1t is this wound. coupled with the shock
of the treatment she received, which is
believed to have caused her death.
A German police dog owned by Hart
ley Dodge. n son-in-law of William
Rockefeller. was used by the police of
Madison yesterday in an effort to pick
up the trail of the slayer. and finger
print experts have been summoned from
Newark to go carefully over the ground
for prints which may have been left by
the murderer. Mr. Dodge's dog was kept
on the scene for several hours. Several
times IT. seemed the animal had picked
up n warm trail but each time he
merely ran around in circles and brought
up again at the log behind which the
body was found. Mr. Dodge said the
dog would not be able to pick up the
trail because CT the dryness and hard
ness of the ground. Other dogs prob
ably will be tried to-day
Many Help In Search.
The body ofathe child was found by
'Chauncey Griswold of Madison, one of
fifty or more men who went through the
woods with lanterns and flashlights after
the girl had been reported missing. The
Lawrence family lives in Ridgedale ave-
nue., and after school hours Janette
usually went to the home of Mrs. James
A. G. Sandt of Fairview avenue to
take care of Mrs. Sandt's children. She
went there as usual on Thursday, and
left the Sandt house shortly before s
o'clock She said she was going home
to dinner.
About half an hour after Janette had
gone" Mrs. Sandt said last night, her
brother came to our house and said she
had not returned home. / told him she
had left n good while ago. and he went
be- ck and told his father a search was
started at once. My husband and l
started out to look for the poor child.
Some of those searching for Janette went
through the fields, carrying lanterns and
flashlights. 1t was dark by that time.
although it was still daylight when
Janette left my house. 1t must have
been about Z o'clock when the girls

WANTS BALLOT CHANGED.
Claims Assembly Candidates
Should Precede Local.

Must the Board of Elections change a
practice of years and print the names
Of candidates for the Assembly on the
ballot prior to those Of candidates for
local Offices? The point had never been
raised until yesterday, when Assembly
man James A. Caulfeld of the Fifth dis
trict, Brooklyn. secured an order from
Justice Strong in the Supreme Court
directing the Board Of Elections to show
cause why they should not do that very
thing. The order is returnable on Mon
day.
Assemblyman Caulfeld contends that
the law requires State officers to be
printed first on the ballot and that the
courts have ruled that an Assemblyman
Is q State officer.

Another Cause of High Taxes

! The Tribune has heard wealthy men
declare that rather than pay the ex-
horbitant tax rate levied by county,
state and national governments, they
would "call in my industrial and other
taxable securities and invest my capt.
tai in United States government tax
exempt issues" It is a fact that billions
Of dollars of wealth in this country are
invested in these tax-exempt national,
state and local securities. 1t is one of
the reasons why the tax rate rests so
lunevenly on the shoulders of the small
property owner.
In the August letter of financial con-
ditions sent out by the National City
bank of New York and distributed by
its correspondents. there is an inter-
esting and startling assertion con-
corning tax exempt securities. It says:
The United States government Sc
curities that are totally exempt yield
at the present market 8 "a to Ali
per cent. and other federal issues 4.60
to $50 per cent. Municipal securities
pay tax-free income of from IL per
cent in the case of certain choice is
sues up to per cent in the case Of
numerous small cities whose credit Is
not so widely established, but Is never
theless perfectly good.
'aThe presence of this large body of
tax exempt securities has the effect OF
practically eliminating investors of
high incomes as buyers of securities
subject to taxation. To an individual
with an income subject to our maxi
mum tax, and exempt per cent fed
eral or municipal bond yields an equiv
alent of nearly Is per cent interest
Conversely. a taxable per cent in
vestment such as a real estate mort
gage, an Industrial or railroad bond,
after tax payments actually yields less
than 2 per cent. This calculation is
based on federal taxes only. and there
is local taxation to be considered be-
sides. Many of the states have income
taxes, the minimum rate IN New YoMl1
State being 3 per cent"
Here is a condition that should be
remedied. 1t is noteworthy. also. as the
article says, that when one has paid
the various taxes on the so-called in
dustrials he finds he is getting practi-
cally nothing for his investment, es-
pecially If he had to pay above par for
a good security
The time is gone when man who
buys bonds OF his county. state or ma
ton is a disinterested charitably in
clined helper out in time OF trouble
He is today man who is looking for
the best return possible. He should
pay tax on all securities he holds

BURDEN BEARERS

Out of the dross of the Miltmore
tragedy comes a ray of light. Life is
50 full OF shadows for some that Il
would seem impossible for brightness
ever to find a way through. 1t is not
difficult to picture the dark despair
that has settled down over the be-
reaved widow and daughter Of the man
slain by Lena Clark, postmistress OF
West Palm Beach. The awful deed has
already had too much emphasis
placed upon it in the public press; the
sooner it Is forgotten and the guilty
parties punished, the better. But there

EACH IN HIS PLACE.

Three men went to the Worldwide
war,
Each worked in the place he found.
Ono went out on the battlefield,
One to increase the harvest yield.
And one to the mill in town.
Three men rose as the sun came IN.
Each brushed the sleep from his
brow,
One fell into his place at drill,
One took his bucket and went to the
mill. :
And one put his hands to the plow.
Three men toiled when the sun was
high.
A dust from the struggle rose
One drove the enomy down to defeat.
One furnished rations of bread and
meat.
And the other made their clothes.
The three lay down in the quiet night
The day had been nobiy won.
For one had finished his bit at the
mill,
One had toiled on his farm on the hill,
And one had stayed by his gun.

WILL PREVENT ROUGH PLAYING
IN FOOTBALL

A Rouen court has condemned a
football player to four months in pris-
on and to pay fine OF 5000 francs for
lnJurlng another player during a
match. This is the first time such a
sentence has been delivered in France
and ii the judgment is held on appeal
1t is believed in sporting circles that it
will have as lasting effect on sports,
as players will hesitate going to prison
for a game.
The Olympic club of Paris was play
ing the Rouen club (association) and
during the first half Aymard (Rouen)
had to leave the ground on account Of
injury to his eye after collision with
the international player, Langenove
(Olympic). The day was very foggy
and only two or three players could
see what really happened.
The Rouen club lodged complaint
with the French Football federation.
which found it impossible to obtain
proof of misconduct against Langc-
move. Aymard then sued Langenove
before the Rouen courts and the fore
going judgment was given by default.
French courts always give the maxi
mum penalty when they condemn any
one who does not appear for trial. but
the sentence may be changed II the
condemned man takes the case to ap-
peal.
Langenove says he never received a
summons to appear before the court.
He was student at ST. Cyr Military
college when the match was played,
and was in garrison at Mayence when
the case was heard. When he charged
Aymard, the latter said: TT wasn't de-
cent to charge me like that" There Ia
no truth in the allegation that / struck

Permanent Roads Needed

Not long since the Christian Science
Monitor made the following observa-
tions:
When 9,461 automobiles, by actual
count. are said to have passed over
road crossing in two hours, on the way
| to the south shore, it IS possible to
gather from this fact what a tremen-
dous call exists nowadays for high
way durability. OF course, the normal
traffic over Ike East Milton crossing
may be greatly increased by the num-
Der of cars bound to the Plymouth
pageant, but whatever the reason,
roads have to be exceedingly well built
In order to meet the test when such
demands are made upon them. The
best of materials and workmanship
may be expensive, but they must be
had If the results are to prove lasting. :"
This brings out q point frequently
emphasized in these columns-tNat
nothing but the most permanent char
acter of work practicable should be
done on our main thoroughfares. Not
only is this necessary to assure the
longest possible life of the roads, but to
keep down the cost of upkeep as we'll.
Not a penny of federal and state aid
should be expended on any other type
than hard surfaced roads.
It is well understood, Of course, that
a state system Of the right sort Of
highways cannot be built in day or a
season. The cost is too great. If 1t
could be done, the waste would be all
the greater. That has been our expert
ence in wholesale road building. But
by steady. gradual progress the end Is
finally achieved.
Tennessee has made the beginning
OF a state highway system. How rapid
is the progress, however, the people
generally do not know. Yet they
ought in some way to be kept in
formed. Montgomery's Vindicator says
Ironically that two and half miles
were completed last year. II was more
than that, of course, but how muen
was it? Immense sums of money are
being used. For many years a con-
slant propa ganda has been kept Tor
more money for roads and schools.
# is high time that taxpayers We're
given a clearer understanding OF the
results being accompIished.-Cha

NEW AMERICAN SCHOOL IN
SHANGHAI

Plans We're taking form through the
summer In Shanhai to open a cam
paign in Shanghai to open in the fall
to raise final taels $50, 900 to begin
work on the election of the first build
ings of new American school. These
first structures, consisting of class
room building and a dormitory and
the ground, will cost approximately
taels $4,000, or about $4,000 in gold.
OF the taels $1,000 required, taels
$4,000 have been raised, taels 107,
900 having been given in a campaign
for funds held in Shanghai last year
and gold s150,0o0 having been contrib
uted by mission boards in the United
States.
1t has been planned to make the new
school a center of American commune
ity life in Shanghai The site that has
been selected is a tract of about IT
acres located admirably in the French
concession.
The American school in Shanghai
originally was founded by the various
American missions in 1912. being
housed in a number of dwellings in
the northern part of the city In the
school year just closed 21s pupils were
cared for and the facilities of the in
stitution were taxed to the utmost to
provide for all applicants. The school
now provides eight years of school
work and four years of high school.
A class OF ten was graduated this year.
While under control of missions in
Shanghai the school has always been
open to Americans generally. A change
to be made in connection with the new
project Is that the new institution will
be governed by a board OF managers
OF whom half will be appointed by the
different missions and half by repre-
sentatives OF the business community.

More Iron and Less Sentiment
Needed

The sentence ito hang by the neck
until he is dead" causes a revulsion of
feeling in almost every individual. II
ent crime wave that is sweeping the
country is, In large part, due to the
fact that juries and judges during the
past few years have been too full Of
the milk of human kindness" The
countries that have tried the expert
ment of abolishing the death penalty
have, without exception, found 1t
necessary to re-establish it, and in
those countries where the death pen
atty is rigidly enforced, there is much
less occasion for 1t than in our own,
where we are inclined to be too lenient.
With the present pardoning system
and the lenieAt jurors and tender
hearted judges, criminals of the worst
type have little to fear. Perhaps if the
only person to be considered We're the
man or woman. who in the heat of
passion, or who under the influence of
alcohol or drugs committed a crime, IL
might be well to give him or her Sec
ond chance, for 1t is probable that the
pangs of remorse would prevent q rep
etition of the crime. But society at
large, must be protected. Innocent men
and women must not become the vic
tins of persons who may reform after
terrible injury has been done or
crime committed. Some persons are
criminal In their tendencies, probably
from no fault of their own, but because
of their inherited tendencies, their en-
t.nf~ iy1f
persons can be restrained and prevent
ed from committing crimes only by
the fear of death, and that the igno-
minious death on the gallows. For
that reason, persons convicted of such
revolving crimes as we read OF every
day, should pay the full penalty. The
fact that the person who commits the
offense is a woman should have no
weight with jury. Chivalry is beau
tiful, but it is a mistaken idea of gall
lantry and ch;valry to refuse to con-
Wet q person of a crime simply be-
cause that person is a woman. Good
women, as good men, are TO be honored
and respected but when a woman
stoops to crime, she should be judged
on the same basis as any other crimi-
nal. Women are becoming too familiar
with the use Of the revolver, and It Is
high time some OF them were executed
as an example to others who may be
too ready to take life.
Mob law is not right. No honest and
fair minded man will uphold mob rule.
But, the courts are inviting the law
lessness by their laxness in dealing
with crime and criminals.
A few more hangings and few less
pardons will do much TO correct the
present depforable situation and to |
make lynch law less popular.-Gads~
den County Times.

F. O. Miller Is Fitted For
National Road Body
Men are sometimes best known b,

Men are sometimes best known by
their hobbies.
One of the sages once said, Show
me what a man Is interested in and /
will tell you what manner of man he
Is"
F. o. Miller is a man known from
one end of Florida to the other by his
hobby. It is good roads. He Is known
to his thousands OF friends through
out the state as Good Roads Miller"
Fortunately, however, Mr.. Miller is
practical good roads advocate. Vision
Is one of his characteristics, and he
does not lack it in his good roads
work, but he reduces highway con-
struction to a cold blooded business
proposition and never speaks on the
subject without having first used his
pencil and paper and sought the opin-
ion of others. He is the highway au-
thority in the Legislature, the adviser
of many individual counties and
civic asset. at this time serving as
president of the Jacksonville Auto
mobile club
Therefore. 1t is not surprising that
the Jacksonville Reals Estate board,
following a unanimous res solution
adopted at its session Thursday, will
call upon President Harding to APP
point Mr.. Miller as a member of the
National Highway commission.
No man in the south knows more
about highways than Mr.. Miller.
While his outstanding activities
have been in behalf of Florida roads
and their development, he has stud
led the problems of this section and
the nation generally, which, in addi-
ton to his personal qualifications,
fits him ideally for the place recon-
mended by the Real Estate Board.
Florida should bring all pressure
Dosib.e to bear in the effort to re-
oc5ve this appointment for Mr.. Miller.
Cv7ibeless President Harding wants
Tire best men he can secure for the
nigh9-ay commission, and Mr.. Miller's
rc1c1,.n endetions are the highest.
Much of the highway work that has
been ccne in Florida is monument
10 his untiring efforts. which are as
enthusiastic now as they have been
for the past ten years, and the Nation
ri commission needs such men as Mr..
Mil1er.-Jacksonv Metropolis.
