THE CRY OF FIRE"

When the cry of fire" is raised in a crowded
hail. many persons revert TO the savage state heir
faculties all concentrate in one wild. fren1ed ef-
fort to escape. This is the cause of most of the
danger. 1t is very rare that building burns so
rapidly that its inmates could not escape if they
used judgment and passed out promptly at the
proper exits.
The injuries resulting from the recent fire in
New Haven, Conn, seem to have been wholly
the result of the panic, although the playhouse
was consumed. There was time for all to have
escaped. But they forgot the side exits. made a
mad rush for the front and tramped each other to
DEATH
No complete remedy for this can be had short
of training the public to stand firm under ex-
element A panic might occur in an absolutely
freproof hall, and scores of lives be lost There
fore, if this danger would be obviated it must
come through training Fire drills in school con-
stitute an excellent foundation. But if safety
first were indeed the prime consideration, such
drills might we'll be had at intervals in public
halls. They would have TO be carefully conduct
ed but they would be practicable under expert
management and, since, with all his defects, the
human animal readily responds to training it
would not take long to get the public immune to
this kind of disaster And when we recall that
some of he greatest horrors in the history of the
country, like the Iroquois theater fire and that of
moving picture show few years ago at Calu-
met Mich, have resulted from such panics, the
potential saving of life is we'll worth considering.

A POOR SHOW

!: Without meaning TO critlcse any OF The actors
: in the Lena Clarke trial ii must be said that the
CASE as reported by the representatives of The press
! is not adding anything to public respect for JUS
tee as administered in Florida.
The known facts Of the case are not especially
complicated. Nliltmore was killed Circumstances
pointed unmistakably to Lena Clarke as his slayer.
There was some obscurity in the motive, which the
trial does not seem to have cleared UP.
That the defendant should want 10 escape pun
ishment is quite natural, and in The absence of
abb, self-defense, protection of her honor and
other familiar pleas, nothing remained but the de-
Tense of insanity
The problem. concretely stated was. ihis: Civ
en-, woman of s., of superior intelligence and
vivid imagination and SO present her peculiares
and idosyncrasies to the jury as 10 make them
appear like proofs of hopeless insanity The con-
dition making such an attempt feasible IS The COM
monplace ignorance of the average jury. which
sees the mystic, the supernatural or the insane in
everything that does not conform to its own mar
row rules.
Such trial puts the Judge ii a quandary Not
being an expert alienist himself he can not apply
the ordinary rules of relevancy to the testimony
Thus, while The testimony of one of the experts
that Miss Clark's mother was suffering with rheu-
matsm ard her father in poor health when she
was born, and that two Of her mothers cousins
died with tuberculosis, probably had nc bearing
whatever upon the mentality of the prisoner, he
could hardly afford 10 rule it out because the SUI
preme court, also composed of men not experts
in mental disease, might take an opposite
view Similarly, The crystal gazing seance. though
remarkable innovation in court procedure, seems
10 have been worked up in such way as to make
its rejection by the court risky thing.
Thus while the results are farcicaI in the high
est degree, the blame lies rather with the law il
self than with those administering it. To make a
jury of we've men the judges of the prisoners men
tai state is in itself, trayesy upon common sense
The question of insanity is one for the expert to
decide. And jury can no more decide between
experts who differ than it could decide upon its
own initiative. 1t can not integenty weigh and
compare the evidence without special KNOWLEDGE
of the subject, which the average juror does not
possess.
: This trial should be lesson to the public If
. it should pave the way to some rational improve
ment in the method of dealing with cases in which
the question of insanity is raised, it will be worth
all it costs. If not it is simply poor show, pre-
senting the administration of justice in a poor
light, to be gaped at for brief moment and then
: forgotten.

The sons of Mr.. Morse in New York
have made public letter written by

ance that Mr.. Morse would hurry to
