FAVOR RAISED PENALTY
Committee Urges Passage after Warm
Debate by Hennepin Solons.

ST. Paul-After discussing the crime
and atonement of various heavy de-
faulters, the House committee on
crime prevention recommended the
Lagerstedt bill for passage. This
measure would increase to five years
the minimum time of persons con-
victed of first degree larceny, whose
populations excede $1,000.
Consideration of the bill brought a
clash between S. A. Stockwell and
Mrs. Sue NJ. Dickey Hough over the
treatment which should be accorded
those convicted for crime. The form
er asserted that the raising of the
minimum limit would 'break down
the parole system for dealing with
prisoners" This was denied by Mrs.
Hough.
