the opinion that no world war officer

give those officers eight more months

regulations each officer will have to

determine whether he has the neces-
sary professional qualifications. More

SAVANT ATTACKS
 CAPITAL PENALTY
Certainty of Punishment Is More Important Than Hanging,
 He Declares

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 5.-"We have abandoned public hangings and putting people in stocks, because we have learned that it demoraliZes people and has the effect of electro cutting criminals, even though done in secret at midnight, has the same demoralizing effect" declared Dean James E. Hagerty, College of Com. merce and Journalism, Ohio State University, addressing an audience of university students.
 Our skipping of the insane and feeble-minded in administering jus, tice is serious reflection on our present civilization" Dean Hagerty said "If life imprisonment, without pardon, should be substituted for the death penalty most of the objections to the prevailing system would be taken away.
 "At present few men condemned to life imprisonment ever serve more than ten years. For this reason murderers fight for life imprison. ment rather than the death penalty If they knew they would have to remain during the rest of their life behind the bars they ghastly would choose immediate death.
 "The way to lessen crime is to bring about certainty of detection and certainty of punishment. The cer- tainty of an individuals getting his just dues will do more to prevent crime than hanging can ever hope to do," Dean Hagerty.

 Joan when she arrived, was eight months old. She weighed twelve pounds. In the weeks that she has been the Cornell baby she has gained two pounds, which is about normal.

DUKE MULDOON
 ISDEM0CRATIC
 ASHERMIT CRAB
McCarney, Mere Mortal, Haled Into Exalted
 Presence
IRON DUKE RIGHT M0NIKER
Enter on Hands and Knees and Embrace
 Feet

NEW YORK, March 5.-In a light moment one of his many critics re- ferred to him as William, the Duke of Muldoon, and the title, as appropriate as the hinge on a door, will be his forever and always. They may take the control of boxing in New York righ off his autocratic hands in the more or less immediate future, but William will be the Iron Duke to the end. The title is his by virtue of actual merit.
 Certainly, none of the deputy com missioners-who have run his errands, trod the sacred chamber on tiptoe lest they disturb his royal reflections, stood at respectful attention while waiting for him to recognize their un- worthy presence and addressed him always as "Mr. Commissioner"-wo would be the last to question his eminence. To them William must remain the all highest-a supreme being to be ap- preached on pneumatic soles or not at all, according to his pleasure.
 It's "Mr. MuIdoon"
 Certainly the newspaperman who so far presumed on his acquaintance with William in his wrestling days as to call him Bill and was rewarded ho M,,1- doon to you, please!" would hardly raise his voice in dissent. He also is convinced of Williams ordained SUI premacy.
 And so, in fact, are all who have known his oppressive dignity, includ- ing Billy McCarney. To be ushered into his presence in ceremonious sill ence, to be favored with that brief, kingly gesture toward a vacant cha to watch his uncompromising back as he pays not the slightest attention to you for five minutes and at the end to receive the full benefit of a coldly in- quiring eyes as he leans back and de- fies you to interest him, is liberal education in seventeenth century ethics.
 McCarney was one of the unfortu- mates to be haled before the throne. The gentleman in question sponsored Tut Jackson in weak moment and paid the inevitable penalty of suspen- sion. This happened months ago, but MT. McCarney continues to wander about in dazed condition peculiar to those who have suffered a great shock.
 Gets Hey Optic"
 He was rendered the usual ritual of the impressive entrance, the magni- ficent gesture and the cold, penetrat- ing eye. After which William, support ing himself on his hands as he leaned across the table, told MT. McCarney many allegedly historical incidents dealing with MT. McCarney's fistic ac- tivities. The recital was lengthy one, and Williams choice of English was 500 good on occasions, that MT. McCarney was moved to smile his ap- preciation. He was thundered into in- stant gravity.
 Again, when William was guilty of what Mr. McCarney deemed inaccur- acies, the latter sought to rifle through his papers for documentary evidence:
 Are you aware." inquired Williams s chilly tones, "that am speaking? You will listen to me attentively until

 And MT. McCarney did At the end he was informed that his suspension had been lifted and was duly gratified.

Plans for Better F abilities in Passenger Traffic
 Are Laid
BRITISH RIVALRY IS KEEN
Big Shipping Man Says There's Enough Trade
 for All

LONDON, Marcn D. - BrltlSn Snlp- ping circles are watching with keenest interest the plans of the United States Shipping Board for the establishment of a regular passenger service be- tween New York and Southampton via Cherbourg. A friendly rivalry for bus mess between the Shipping Boards lines and the White Star and Cunard services that may result in some slight financial advantage to the transat- lantic traveller is forecast. The Shipping Board recently con- pleted arrangements for a terminus at Southampton that will enable it's pas senger liners to dock at that port. At the present time the boats of the Unit ed States Lines land their passengers at Plymouth, where shipping facilities, from the standpoint of convenience in landing passengers, are not satisfac- tory. By running it's boats into South ampton the United States Lines will move up to parity with the British steamship lines in the matter of land ing facilities.
 Englshman Is Agent
 A great part of the arrangements for the Southampton terminus was in the hands of Philip Runciman, general manager of Runciman, Ltd, lead ing London firm of shipping agents. Thus British energy has been devoted to the enterprise of bringing Ameri- can-owned and operated steamships into direct and effective competitor with the big British concerns.
 "The Leviathan, originally the Vat erland, which was taken over when America came into the war;" said Runciman, twill probably start a week ly service between Southampton and New York via Cherbourg on July 1. She is the last word in fittings and passenger equipment. There may be something as good on the transatlantic service, but there certainly will be nothing better.
 Plenty of Business
 "There is plenty of room for new passenger business between England and America, and we are out to get it. There has been strenuous compe tition by other countries for the Levia- than passenger service. Southamp- ton got it because, from a geographi- cal point of view, Southampton is the ideal transatlantic port.
 "The dock accommodation which is being provided by the London & Southwestern Railway Company is ideal for our purpose. Shipping &C., commodations at Southampton will be doubled in the next few years and make Southampton, if it Is not that already, one of the finest ports in the world"
 The hint of rivalry between exist ing services and the United States Lines was dropped by Runciman when he said:
 "We shall be rivals-but friendly rivals-with the White Star and Gun ard people. There is plenty of room for all and the establishment of our service will bring a healthy draught of competition into the transatlantic passenger service which is all for the good"
