"HEAT METER" EXPECTED
TO CUT u. S. COAL BILL
New Service Will Measure Wasted
Warmth in Homes and
Buildings.


PITTSBURGH, Pa, October 18.--A
supersensiuve heat meter" which is
said to be able to meas sure the guam
tity of heat given out in a minute
from one o-hundred-andfif dfifty-thou-
sandth Of an ounce of burning coal,
was under demonstration here today
in the laboratory of the American
Society of Heating and Ventilating
Engineers at the Bureau Of Mines.
The instrument, perfected after five
years Of experiment, is expected to aid
in reducing the coal bill of the Ameri-
can householder by furnishing him
with the accurately measured heat
loss" values in various types of build
ing material and methods of building
construction.
Reduction of the amount of fuel re
quired to heat a given building by as
much as 40 per cent is said to be pos
Sible through the utilization of data
secured by the heat meter"
1t is stated that so much heat es-
capeS from the average home through
inferior construction and use of ma
terials of high heat conductivity that
if it were sifted through the walls in
the form of the coal 1t represents. it
would cover the average community
with a black carpet.

REFORM IN PRISONS
URGEDBY GERMAN
Punishment Too Much
Stressed in American Insti-
tutions, Congress Is Told.
BY the Associated Press.


PITTSBURGH, Pa, October 1S.-
Punishment of criminals rather than
their regeneration is stressed in Amer
lcan prisons, according to DR.. nj.
Llepman, German criminologist, who
told delegates attending the fifty-siXth
annual congress of the American
Prison Association here that America
today could learn a great deal from
Germany in the matter of penal insti-
tutions.''
German prisons are becoming CEN
ters for the scientific correction of
criminals. where, DR.. Liepman stated,
systematic effort is being used ito re-
deem the offender and return him to
society as regenerated citizen"
"A survey of prisons hcre has con-
vinced him. he said, that politics
played too much part in the appoint
ment OF officials, that American
prisons were overcrowded and that
prisoners received amazingly low"
pay for their work
dollar" Sentences Urged.
Sentences of $50 many dollars" in
stead or SO many days is advocated
by William G. Shepherd prison re-
form writer of New York, whose
prison wage plan," a revolutionary
SAA~iioS AiA <a1llSIlNdIl pIISOl duI1llnlSlTd-
ton, has been placed before the con-
gress.
State prisons throughout the coun-
try are being turned into pleasure re-
sorts, Shepherd AYERS, with idleness
more the rule than the exception. I'm
der the plan convicted person would
be sentenced to earn certain amount
OF money at prison labor before he
could have his freedom. The money
thus earned would be used for his
own support and in reparation to the
State for the damage he had done So
ciety Out of his earnings a convict
would pay for his board and lodging
In this manner, Shepherd said, the
loafer would suffer in prison as much
as he would on the outside.
To make a prisoner earn every
thing he gets in prison. above mere
bread-and-Water subsistence, is the
backbone idea of the plan" said Shep-
herd. Under the plan the parole
scandal would be done away with. A
mans fate in prison would be in his
own hands. After he has learned how
to work he will be far more ready to
take his place in society than is the
prisoner of today who has idled away
the years in prison unproductively."
Crime Declared on Wane.
The general volume of crime is on
the downward trend in the United
States, in the opinion of Sanford
Bates, commissioner of correction of
Massachusetts. Bates, president of the
prison association, also believes that
the crime-dealing machinery of the
present day should be reorganized to
meet the changed conditions of mod
ern life.
The so-called crime wave has not
increased in the last 10 years" he said
There are certain spectacular crimes,
such as bank hold-ups, but the general
volume is decreasing. There has been
a diminution of vagrancy and drunk
enness.
The problem confronting us today
is 20 adapt the crime-dealing ma
chinery of the twentieth century to
meet the changing conditions"

LEADERS THREAT
SUBDUED DTROTSKY
Peace Feared Only Tempo
rary as He CapituIates in
Face of Punishment.


MOSCOW, October 18.-Leon Trots-
ky and his followers, comprising the
opposition to the central executive
committee of the Communist party,
have Internationally capitulated i'll
the face Of a threat of political pun
ishment.
The danger of open warfare in the
party has been averted, but it is
feared the peace between the oppo-
sition and the majority will be only
temporary; that the expression of re-
gret by Trotsky and his followers for
their denunciation of the executive
committee in reality amounts only to
an armistice.
Early this month Trotslly and his
followers, including Kameneff, Plata
koff, Zinovieff, SOkolnikoff and Edo
kimov, began in the open their war
fare against the executive committee.
Attitude Admitted Wrong.
If fiery speeches the committee was
denounced before meetings of work
ers for "steam-roller tactics" lack
of democracy within the party and
inefticiency and mismanagement.' -
Several days later the political bu-
reau of the party, in a resolution,
branded the action of the opposition
as IAN infringement of party disci-
pline' and q menace to the very
unity of the party"
Yesterday, from the headquarters
of the Communist party in the Krem-
lin, Trotsky and his followers, in
signed statement, announced that
they desired to capitulate. They ad-
mitted their attitude threatened the
unity of the party and gave an un-
dertaking to obey the rules and de-
cisions of the congress of the party.
1t is stated that the members of the
opposition yielded fully to the de-
mand of the central executive COM
mittee that they unequiVocally accept
all party decisions and acknowledge
that the activities were erroneous and
menacing to the Soviet Union.
Opposition to Disband.
The ultimatum also required that
the opposition cease all factional ac-
tivities and disband all opposition or
ganizatiOns; that the members of the
opposition openly repudiate the extra
right and left wings in the worlds
Communist movement: that they open
ly disaVow their campaign of SLAM
der" against the Soviet Union, the
Communist Party and the Communist
international, which it was charged
had been carried on by foreign Com
munists opposed to the central eXecu-
tive committee.
Disavowal of all analogies of the
Stockholm Communist congress men
acing the partyS unity was demanded.
In captivating Trotsky and his ad-
herents made plea for the rehabilita-
ton in the party councils of numerous
comrades expelled by the party for
supporting the opposition. The sigma
tories of the statement appeal to
groups throughout the country which
have been supporting them immediate
ly to cease their activities against the
central executive committee.
