the principle behind capital punish

repetition Of the crime. He said he
does not think that culprtt. in pre-
meditating a crime, thinks much
about the kind of punishment, because
he is figuring chiefly on how to es-
cape any punishment. Experience in
drawing juries has shown that
younger men are more unanimously
opposed to capital punishment than
older men.
Jury Not Responsible.
Justice Mccoy also emphasized that
the jury does not set the penalty
which is fixed by the legislature. and
that the jury only decides the ques

individual turyman should be deferred
from serving by conscientious scru-
pies that he was imposing the death
penalty.
Chairman Mcleod repeatedly ques-
toned II there was not sufficient juSti-

ment If only one innocent person were
saved from unjust execution. Mr..
Houston explained the numerous safe
guards that are set up around the
accused.
Mr.. Hammer insisted that the GER

Justice Mccoy In reply to questions
said 1t was very important that the
confidence Of the people in the courts
should be increased.
He spoke feelingly in praise Of the
humanitarian work being done at the
Lorton institution.
Judge O'Toole said that the con-
viction of three youths in New York
State some Is years ago had turned
her mind very definitely toward a
study Of capital punishment and
added she can see no good that it

When the question Of swift justice
in England was being discussed,
Judge OToole said that if the United

be equally swift.

London has outcrowu the Thames and
his reasons for changing the course

heated controversy. Sir Herbert cited

that London has outgroWn its river.
Many schemes have been mooted for
diverting the course OF the Thames
where 1t runs through the metropolis.
these proposals including underground
channels, a dam above the city to
make the river provide water power
and an enormous ditch to switch the
Thames off to the sea through course

whether capital punishment shou|d be

that in some cases he believed II
should be and then again in some par

Justice Mccoy said there have been

HOLDS RETIREMENT
BILL NOT DOOMED
Steward Denies Alleged Ex-

sage This Session.
Luther C. Steward, president of the

Luther c. Steward, president of the
National Federation of Federal En-
ployes, issued a statement today deny
ing that the expense to the Federal
Government precludes any retirement
les station at the present session OF
Congress.
Mr.. Steward said that the current
report is "of rather mysterious
origin conveying the startling in
formation that there is to be no re-
tirement legislation at this time owing
to the fact that it will involve an ex-
penditure on the part of the Federal
Government during the first year of
operation of from Sis 200, 900 to $685.
100000.
BIames Bureau of Efficiency.
"In view of the fact that Herbert
D. Brown and other actuaries, after
continued prodding, are on the eve
Of submitting a report with estimate
of cost" said Mr.. Stewart, the
runor as to the alleged excessive ex-
penditure bears the familiar earmarks
of the Bureau of Efficiency's past at.
tempts to sabotage retirement. Un-
der no conceivable manipulation OF
the figures in any proposed retire
ment bill which is receiving consld-
Grafton by committees Of Congress
can 1t be shown that the Federal
Government will be called upon to
expend any such sum as Is alleged,
Mr.. Stewart emphasized.
1.-The budget estimate for the cost
Of retirement annuity for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1926, Is
$3.50, 900, based on the present law,
with an average annuity of $544.64,
Mr. Stewart DOinteQ out.
Increasing the maximum annuity
to 81 200 under the terms of proposed
legislation involves an increased ex-
penditure of 32.4 per cent, according
to statements from the retirement
division of the Pension Office. This
would increase the expenditure as es-
timated for the next fiscal year to the
amount of 81 900, making total
of $10,38O,000. This sum. it should
be clearly pointed out, is to be borne
approximately half by the, employees
and half bv the Federal Government,
although the Federal Government will
| not be called upon for a number of
| wears to actually appropriate for it's
share. meanwhile borrowing it's
| share from the fund made up by the
| contributions of the employees.
Taking the lowest figure mentioned
| in the current statement, $115,000, 600,
as the alleged cost to the Government
during the first year OF operation, to
! involve such an expenditure 1t would
be necessary to retire rs per cent of
ali Federal employees who come under
the provision of the retirement law.
This is too absurd to require mo-
| ment's consideration by intelligent
people.
Partners in the Enterprise.
| "While it is conceded Federal en-
ployes are not bearing the full cost of
| retirement, they are bearing a very
substantial share of it, and 1t Is con-
templated to increase the proportion
| of their contribution 40 per cent. Part
| ners in the enterprise, they are en-
titled to an even break.
I'm providing for compulsory retire
ment under the inadequate annuit1es
of the existing law, Congress Is under
| obligation to fix the rate of annuities
above starvation point. If, on the
rovernment's end of retirement part
