Trouble, Warden Says.

New YORK, Feb. 6.-The warden q
Sing Sing prison, Lewis r. Lave,
Monday told the Government Club, in
session at the Hotel Aston, that, among

IF slayers must be executed as
warning TO would-bc slayers, then execu-
tons should be public.
3-Murderers who escape the death
penalty, through the clemency Of jur-

the best-behaved prisoners.
In support of this last statement,
Warden Lewis declared that in five
years only three OF the $50 at Sing
Sing, who were paroled after serving
time for murder or manslaughter, were
reeommitted for later crimes.

New Guinea, the upper reaches of
which have never been navigated by
any one who has returned to tell the
tale.
The party is not likely to make any
discoveries of commercial value, as
the area drained by the river is so lit
tie above sea level as to be agricul-
son to suppose the region holds any
mineral wealth. The hardy explorers
apparently want to go up the sinister
river just because 1t is one of the few
blank spaces still left on the map of
the world
The habits of the numerous but lit
tie known races peopling the hinter-
land of New Guinea vary from canni-
balism to hospitality to strangers.
The explorers will take chance of
disproving the hitherto merely mega
tive evidence that the tribes along
FLY river practice cannibalism.
