TRAGEDY

Two men Of this city. having plead-
 cd guilty to murder in the second de. gree, have been sentenced to spend tpc remaining of their days in prison.
 Many will feel that the punishment is not as severe as it should be: they should lose their lives. Many, on the other hand, believe that confinement for life is the heaviest penalty we have any right to inflict upon human beings. The alienists report these men were Of low mentality. indicating that they were practically incapable Of pre- meditating murder with the normal reconciliation intended by the law as the prerequisite 10 murder in the first degree. Be that as fl may. the men have been sentenced and nothing re- mains except to feel deeply sorrowful that such tragedies occur and for those who wonder about the why's and fhe whcr, flores of life to give thought 10 what this all means.
 Without in any way excusins these men. and without allowing our feeling Of revolt against such crimes 10 lcs- sen. one may fecl quite confident that none Of his acquaintanccs or friends. Of good intellect. would have done the things these men did under similar cir cunrstances. Tot it must be recognized that alkabout Us arc men and women Of tho same standards Of intelligence as they are: in whom lies thc posst- hitity of committing crimes similar 10 theirs. It is impossible to separate ths people of low mentality from those r,osscssirg normal inteliects. unless one is expert in ihr study of the hu- man mind. All Of us know bright people and stupid" people-peOplc with violent tefnpers and people who are never carried away by their pas eions or emotions. Yet none of us feel capable Of declaring that this man or that woman is a probable criminal. CT that this man or that woman never could do anything wrong.

 TAKING TIME OFF
Mill Rest Several Days Before
 ReSumins Flight

Seattle, Wash, March a1.-The four army airmen attempting to circle the globe will rest here several days while worlSnen at the Sand Point avi- ation field convert the big air cruisers into seaplanes. In preparation for the ordeal ahead, the young officers will abstain from public functions and en- tertainments, according to Major Frederick l.. Martin, flight command CT. The other aviators are Lieutenants Lowell H. Smith, Leigh H. Wade and Erik II. Nelson.
 The airmen flew here from Van couver barracks yesterday after the other three were caught up with by Lieutenant Nelson, whose start from Santa Monica Cal, was delayed through late delivery of his ship.
 After leaving Vancouver barracks columns of clouds and was forced to climb higher. Major Martin said in describing the journey.
 The clouds lay in the hill tops and one never could tell whether he would crash into some hill that was a trifie higher than the rest" he said. '.We spiraled around in little hole in the clouds and climbed to 4,50o feet. Even there we found clouds be- fore us and had to rise higher"
 An interesting sidelight concerning good luck charms carried by mem bers of the squadron was revealed by Major Martin. On the days the ayi- ators started on their 2S.00o mile aerial jaunt two stuffed cloth monkeys were presented to them.
 "If, after the flight, the monkeys are safely delivered to their California owners, the aviators will be paid $50 each for the trophies" declared Ma jor Martin. "The owners expect to raffle the pair, the money to be don ated to charity. Another unique gift was presented by Los Angeles man. It was a s5 bill with his name written on it. He said he would also pay $50 for its safe return. A chap from Chi cago gave me little bronze image that he said he had carried for good luck. After I took it. noticed good luck had not prevented the fellow from losing ono eye"

 Moscow, March 2l.--The Chinese eastern railway, the 1.400 mile line connecting China with Siberia and Europe. is the real bone Of contention in the interrupted Russo-Chineses nc- gotiations, according to the Russian viewpoint. and control Of the road is also being sought by France, America and Japan.
 Russian engineers say the soyiets hold tho strategic and economic con- trol of the Chinese and could cut off it's most profitable trafic.
 The preliminary conditions for recognition Of the Soviet by China. signed by Dr. Wang but not ratified by the Chinese government. provided, according to one Chinese source here. for joint control of Russia and China similar to tho original agreement in isss. with sort Of Russian zone through Manrhuria and along the railway in Chinese territory.
 The new commisssr Of railways M.

".tBiiE TO PAY"

It was not long ago that one Of New Britsin's most prominent bank CTS, returning from abroad, was firm in his declaration that Germany could pay and should be made to pay. One phase of the present investigation in which two Americans are taking part, has to do with trying to find out where Germany's wealth is and how much there is of it. The people of this coun- try, remembering that not a building was destroyed in Germany, not a field troddon upon, have been convinced that it was not poverty that made Germany refuse to pay separations, but rather a desire to hold onto what she and her people had. lt is not pleasant for us to feel that Germans rich men are laughing up their sleeves at those trying to make her pay-as those who are feeding her children and arc being very careful 10 keep down any fceling against that country remaining since the armistice.
 Of extreme interest. therefore, is the following dispatch from Paris to the New York Evening Post. These facts were ascertained by the examin- ing experts and indicates something of the results they are accomplishing.

SEARCHING AUTOMOBILES

Some time ago protest was made against the practice of stopping auto mobiles at night. as they passed along the highway and searching them for liquor without warrant or without eNi- dence that they carried liquor. It was said that if this might be done no man nor woman would be free from the danger of being stopped and searched on the public street at any time. It seemed 10 be in direct viola ton of the rights of American citizens: directly opposed to the constitution. This thing was done on the Berlin turnpike. It was reported that hum dreds of automobiles were stopped, none Of which were.found to be carry ing liquor.
 For this reason the decision of Fed cral Judge Thomas just handed down. is worthy of note. Judge Thomas holds that such search without q search warrant is in direct violation of the fifth amendment of the United States constitution, unless the searchers have visible or tangible evidence that the vehicle is transporting liquor. More than this, he ordered, in the case de- cided, that tho liquor which was found in tho search car, bc returned to its owner. merely because the search was made without n warrant. He covers this in his opinion, part Of which follows:

Tt would be nnconscionable to hold that any citizen pcaccably and lawfully driving an automo- bile along n street might at any time be subject 10 tho annoyance and humiliation Of being stopped and searched and hts property taken without justification even though it ultimately developed that he was in fact violating the law. Prom the face of the plead ings it seems clear that the de- fendant did intend 10 commit a crime but the question Of law in. volved is Of greater importance than that this defendant may or may not escape the consequences of punishment for the commission Of a crime. Tho foundation of tho government is built upon tho right of tho people 10 be secure in their homes and personal ef- fccts and all through the history Of judicial decisions affecting the matter. the courts. irrespective Of the consequence Of tho particular case, have invariably held sacred the right Of freedom from illegal, unlawful or unreasonable search.

1t looked like water lily, and
grew like water lily-in the gold

"It's q lotus flower" whispered
Johnny Jump Up, ''and the fairy
who lives in it is an Egyptian

She handed three tickets to Johnny

kindly.
Tommy Titmouse hoped up and
punched the tickets with his bill.

ert as big as an ocean only with

Billy Evans Says

Nothing is harder to live down in
SPORT than a bad reputation.
If an athlete is successful through
the use of unsportsmanlike tactics,
he becomes marked man.
During the period in which trick
pitching thrived, certain twirlers en-
ioved great success because of their
ability to doctor the ball. In other
words, they cheated.
The abolition of all trick deliver
les caused many pitchers to immed
lately lose their effectiveness and
drop out of the majors.
Others, with enough natural abil-
ity TO succeed without resorting to
trickery, managed to hang on.

crs, still starring in the majors, who
were master trick pitchers in the
days of doctoring the ball.
With perhaps one exception, all
these pitchers have discarded then
trick stuff and are pitching winning
ball.
Yet, it is most difficult matter
to make opposing teams believe that
these same twirlers are not cheating
