tory of the defendants and of their present mental, emotional and ethi- cal condition has been of extreme interest and is a valuable contribu- tion to- criminology. And yet the court feels strongly that similar analysis made of other persons &C., cused of crime would probably re- veal similar or different abnormali- tics The value of such tests seem to lie in their applicability to crime and criminals in general. Since they concern the broad ques- ticns of human responsibility and legal punishment, and are in no wise peculiar to these individual defendants, they may be deserving of legislative, but not of judicial consideration. For this reason the court is satisfied that his judgment in the present case can not be af- fected thereby.
 Crime Executed With Cruelty
 "The testimony in this case re- yeals crime of singular atrocity. It Is, in. a sense ineXplicable; but it is not thereby rendered less inhuman or repusive. It was deliberately planned and prepared for during considerable period of time. It was executed with every feature of cal lousness and cruelty.
 And here the court will say, not for the purpose of extenuating guilt, but merely with the object of dis spelling misapprehension that ap- pears to have found lodgment in the public mind, that he is convinced by conclusive evidence that there was no abuse offered to the body of the victim. But it did not need that ele- ment to make the crime abhorrent to every instinct of humanity, and the court is satisfied that neither in the act itself, nor in it's motive or lack of motive, nor in the antece- dents of the offenders, can he find any mitigating circumstances.
 For both the crime of murder and Kidnapping for ransom the law prescrihes different punishments in the alternative.
 For the crime of murder, the statute declares:

IMPROVEMENTS AT
 SEQU|N GOLF CLUB
0rrin E. Smith Engaged to Su- perviSe New Work on Course

The sequin Golf club of Newing- ton has announced that 1t has en- gagged the services of Orrin D.. Smith, golf course engineer. to su- .pervise work soon to be started on the course. Mir. Smith, for the past several years, has been connected as golf course builder with Donald j.. Ross, America's premier links archi- feet.
 The sequin program is to further Improve its course and bring 1t up 10 standard specifications with re- gard to traps and other hazards. The contour of several of the greens will be changed, traps are 10 be cut to protect them and mounds and bunkers generously placed along the fairways to catch Ihots off the line, These improve- ments are designed and calculated 70 bring about added beauty to the topography of the layout at Sequin. While the layout will be made stiffer the remodeling of some of the greens and. approaches will make several of the holes more fair. The incoming nine holes, as at present arranged, do not require much trapping as this side is now a good test of golf.
 Mir. Smith had charge of the construction at Shuttle Meadow, when that course was built under Willie Park and shortly after that joined Ross. While with tho Ross associates he has been In close touch with the development and construction of the Edgewood Country club, Pittsburgh, Pa.; J. s. Jones' private course, Granville, Ohio; another course in Silver Springs, Maryland, going from there 10 develop golf course for Henry Ford at Dearborn. Mich. He built

ward their claims and collect on them in the event they could prove their authenticity.
 The lawyers declare that only a small part of the total will be re- turned to the original payers or their heirs, as the records in Washington are in such an advance state of de- cay they cannot be deciphered. But there is a record of the total paid by the taxpayers in each of ehe states.
 Mir. Smith added that no action would be taken until all the states concerned had joined in the suit. The resolution pending in congress, he said, authorizes each states concern ed to bring suit in behalf of its citi- zens "and directs the United States to make no defense except upon the merits" "Of course I understand there are always certain watchdogs of the treasury who are opposed to the government paying what it owes and I presume they will call 1t a raid on the treasury," he added.
 Suits in Sixteen States.
 Suits already authorized by six teen states call for the return of more than 116,OO0,OOO. In addition to New .York's more than $49,000,- 900, the amounts to be sought are:
 Delaware, s1,47S,74O,45; Florida, s918,O0492; Georgia, s11,S97, 7,O940S; Illinois, $6,403,226.72; Indiana, 3D. 154,361.09; Louisiana, s11,9S0, ,07S,- IA: Minnesota, $151, ,463.O3; Missis- sippi, $S.742, ,995,93; Montana, s3S,- 41O.53; New Hampshire, s6,523,114.- 60; North Carolina, $2,6S2,96460: Oregon, s2S5, ,63O.S5: South Carolina, $4,172,42116; Tennessee, $7,S73,- 4TO.71: West Virginia, s1,462, ,101.16.

number the court does not feel in- clined to make an addition.
 Life Imprisonment may not, at the moment, strike the public im- agination as forcibly as would death by hanging; but to the offenders, particularly of the type they are, the prolonged suffering of years of con finement may well be the severer form of retribution and expiation.
 Opposed To Parole
 "The court feels 1t proper to add final word concerning the effect of parole law upon the punishment of these defendants. Tn the case of such atrocious crimes, 1t is entirely within the discretion of the depart ment of public welfare never to ad- init these defendants to parole. To such policy the court urges them strictly to adhere. If this course is persevered in, the punishment of these defendants will both satisfy the ends of justice and safeguard the in- terests of society.
 Tn number 3S623, indictment for murder, the sentence of the court is that you, Nathan r. Leopold, Jr., be confined In the penitentiary at Joliet for the term Of your natural life. The court finds that your age is 19.

 I am offering to women the pest I have found, and men are also well come. My Hair Youth combines the utmost that modern science knows I am sure that no one knows any thing for the hair which does what this combination does.
 I apply 1t with an eye-dropper d. rectly to the scalp. Applying tonics to the hair is ridiculous. The whole thing lies in the scalp, in the roots, and there my Hair Youth goes.
 It combats the hardened oil and dandruff which stifile the hair roots. It tones and stimulates the scalp. Hair thrives on such a soil as flow CTS thrive by like methods.
 I believe that my Hair Youth now combines the greatest hair helps in existence. I have never seen any thing else which brought compara- ble results.
 Now I have placed it in every drug store, on every toilet counter. All who desire may obtain 1t. The name Is Edna Wallace Hopper's Hair Youth. It will amaze and delight you. I authorize every dealer to re- turn the price to anyone who claims the slightest disappointment.

Whoever is guilty of murder shall suffer the punishment of death or Imprisonment in the penitentiary for his natural life, or for a term not less than fourteen years. If the accused is found guilty by a jury, they shall fix the punishment by their verdict upon a plea of guilty, the punishment should be fixed by the court
 For the crime of Kidnapping for ransom, the statute reads:
 Whoever is guilty of kidnapping for ransom shall suffer death, or be punished by Imprisonment in the penitentiary for life, or any term not less than five years
 Under the plea of guilty, the duty of determining the punishment de- wolves upon the court and the law indicates no rule or policy for the guidance of his discretion. In reach ing his decision the court would have welcomed the counsel and SUD- port of others.
 Considers Ages of Prisoners
 Tn some states the legislature in it's wisdom has provided for bench of three judges to determine the pen alty in cases such as this. Neverthe- less, the court is willing to meet his responsibilities It would have been the path of least resistance to im- pose the extreme penalty of the law. In choosing imprisonment instead of death, the court Is moved chiefly by the consideration of the age of the defendants, boys of IS and 19 years. It is not for the court to say that he will not in any case enforce capital punishment as an alternative, but the court believes that it is within his province to decline to impose the sentence of death on persons who are not of full age. ....,
 This determination appears to be in accordance with the progress of criminal law all oyer the world and with the dictates of enlightened hu- manity. More than that, 1t seems to be in accordance with the prece- dents hitherto observed in this state. The records of Illinois show only two cases of minors who were put to death by legal process-to which

Democrats Want Change
 In Rules of Fire Dept

Democratic members of the con- mon council will introduce a resolu- ton at the next session to change the mode of appointing regular firemen so that a substitute who was named as such before he had reached the maximum age would not be ineligible for appointment after he passed that age.
 Those who favor the resolution feel that man who is made substitute when he is S5 years of age should be allowed the right of advancement into the regular ranks if he has worked part time over a long period, since he is in close touch with the opera tions of the departmant. They feel such a man would be more vaIu;(ble to the service than a younger man who might have been on the substi- ute list for longer period but whose actual experience in fire department work is far less.
 The resolution, while it is to be in- troduced by the democratic members of the council. has also the backing of several republicans, if is said.
