WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT
THE DRAMATIC DEBATE

The Dramatic Debate on Law En-
foreement written by o. G. Christgau
and presented by him with John w.
Langley has been given in various
parts OF the state during the past
month. The following are same OF
the comments on this method of pre-
scnting the law enforcement message
by persons who have heard the de-
bate:
was very much impressed with it
and take this means of expressing my
appreciation of the same. 1t cmbodies
the very vital thing in connection
with our work, namely, the relation
of the people to the work and to-
wards the officers who have the bur-
den of enforcing the law. Further ii
is presented i'll way that would ap-
peal to many to whom set address
would not appeal at least so strongly.
hope you may have time and OPP
portunty to deliver it often.
John /. Kramer,
First Federal Enforcement Commits
soner.
The dramatic debate Is the best
program the Illinois Anti-Saloon
League has yet put out. 1t answers
the so-called wet arguments. 1t
arouses the drys to action. 1t enter
tains old and young. 1t sends the
audience out to finish the fight for
ono hundred per cent Prohibition. 1t
should be heard by every. citizen in
the state of Illinois. We guarantee
it to please,

Robinson, ARIZONA, already have
been tried, but the finding Of the

until the reviewing authorities have
acted upon It.
The trial of Midshipman Robin
son, charged with hazing Midship-
man William II. McGregor, of Bre-
merton, Wash, member of the
fourth class, by compelling him to
do continued physical exercises,
came to an end this morning.
Midshipman Robinson admitted
requiring, without authority. the
plebe to do certain physical exer-
cises. He denied, however, that
they were severe, and he insisted
that he had no part in the final
infliction, under which McGregor
collapsed. McGregor has been a
patient in the Naval Hospital and
compelled to use crutches ever
since the hazing, two weeks ago.
The indications now are that the
authorities will bring out that a very
large proportion of the first class
has been more or less connected with
hazing since the school opened its
new term. on the first Of the pres
ent month.

SO far as the woman Is concerned,
] base my statement that she insti'
gated the crime on a number OF i'm
lportant evidences. Chief among
them is the fact that the wound in
flicted, on Mira. Mills. throat by a
knife or some other sharp instrti-
ment looks as though done by a
wavering, feminine hand. 1t in no
sense resembles a firm. masculine
slash.
Another one Is the scattering of
the love letters over the bodies
distinctly the act Of woman.
Some New Theories.
In my investigation. I have formu.
lated some new conceptions concern
fhg the case which may lead to an
early solution Of the Crime. Also.
have found that points which should
by now be we'll established are not
known and must be Investigated ut
this late date, when Opportunity no
longer exists to clear up some OF
them with certainty.
30 far, every one has gone on the
theory that the rector was called to
the trysting place to meet Mrs. Mills
either by her or q mysterious
stranger. perhaps his murderer or
his accomplice. There Ia some posi-
bility that he went there at the re.
quest of Mrs. Hall to return the love
letters she may have found to their
author. Mrs. Mills, and that
quarrel occurred during the after.
noon between the Rev. Hall and his
wife.
2. 4 strong possibility exists that
Mrs. Mills throat was cut by
woman with penknife removed
from DR.. Halls pocket. and carried
away by the slayers. This would ac-
count for no knife being found near
the scene.
8. The killing took place at most
few feet from the spot where the
bodies We're found. .
Things Overlooked.
II is unfortunate that no finger
prints were taken immediat tcly
upon the finding Of the bodies, as
that Is most likely to furnish the
most fruitful clue. Nor was there
careful official search OF the sur.
rounding territory for clues. or
houses where the weapon or other
evidence might be found These
/ matters cannot be undertaken now
after such a long lapse OF tinlr.
Also. had general check up of, all
