Methods of handling the IN
sane in Indiana were denounced
today in no uncertain terms by
Judge James A. Collins of Grim

system in Indiana.
"This system of keeping the
insane in jail is damnable," he
said. "For years 1 have advo-

sSCUENEI A.

LAS nueyas tendencias del Dere-
cho Penal los erfsayos praeticos
Gle que han sido objeto, sugieren la
conyeniencia de unifiear las medidas
de defensa social, dentro de un plan
arm6nico que constituya un sisteml
preventive y penitenciario fundada
en- Ia experiencia.
Mucho Sc escribe-y muy dispara

trar personas de alguna cultura que
reconozcan su incompetencia en- ma
terra de organization carcelaria.
Sin embargo, en- casi todos los pal.
ses, no hay materia que muestrc,
Ell la practica, una ausencia mayor
de criterios generates por parte de
los legisladores autoridades eiecu-
twas. La construction dc carceles
suele hacerse bajo ell urgente apre-
nlio de necesidades inmediatas, sin
cbedecer un plan de conjunto v sin
responder a una vision definida da
las funciones de defensa social.
Contra. esa anarquia carcelaria es
necesario reaccionar, especialmente
en Jos paises que todavia no est;a
maniatados por una tradicion de
rutinas por fuerza de intereses
creados.
Ea defensa social debe ser algo
mas. que una reforma del Codigo
Penal, de la ley de procedimientos,
de ia organization carcelaria v de
los reglamentos disciplinarios de cada
cdreel. Es todo ESQ, sin duda; pero
necesita ser mucho mas.
Los delitos son actos subordinados

WILD LOCOMOTIVE
 TAKES FOUR LIVES
Crashes Into Auto in Chicago After Racing From Roundhouse

Chics go, April al.-Four persons were killed. one seriously injured and one escaped unhurt carly yesterday. when a Baltimore and Ohio railroad engine ran wild from a roundhouse and crashed into an automobile more than a mile away. Railroad authori- ties could not give any reason for the sudden start of the engine. Police heard that two small boys were seen running away from the engine as it started to move.
 The dead: Otto Bowlmark and wife, Olga, and son, Irving. 10, and William Lindenberg, who died later in a hos pital.
 Enginemen said it was possible that escaping steam and vibration might have caused the throttle to par open. and with the aid of a slight down grade to cause the engine to run wild.
 Hosea Lattie, negro, one of four men held in the investigation, said he fired the engine and was waiting near by in a shanty for the crew to take it over. He said he saw it suddenly sart and thought the crew had taken charge until he saw a man jump from the cab.
 The other three men held were in the shanty at the time.
 A derail prevented the engine from running on to the main tracks.
 Railroad officials say they are con- ndent the engine was deliberately set in motion, but they are unable to find q motive for the act.

FRANCE ADDS HER Q. K.
 OF REPORT OF EXPERTS
Premier Poincare Officially Notifies Preparations Commission of
 Acceptance

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, April 2l.-Acccptance by the French government of the Dawes re- port as a basis for new reparation settlement has been formally regis tered with the reparation commission in the form of a letter from Premier Poincare to Louis Barthou, president Of the commission.
 The premier made no reservations in his acceptance but points out that the French government supposes it is understood that all the details insur- ing realization of the guarantees the experts propose will be affected before the allies are called upon to give up the pledges they now hold
 M Poincare, in his letter tells NJ. Barthou he hopes the commission will proceed promptly with the necessary preliminary negotiations for putting the experts plan into operation inti- mating that this is necessary before the allied governments can settle such questions affecting the plan as depend upon them.
 This is supposed to refer to even ;ual penalties in case of default by Germany in carrying out her engage ments under the experts plan. II is understood on the best authority that France will insist upon provision for such penalties in spite of the inter probation put upon utterances by Pre- mier Macdonald of Great Britain in his speech on the report indicating that such course would be likely to lead 10 contention between Paris and London.
