CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT
Statements of interest to organized
labor, which through the American
Federation of Labor has gone on rec
ord as opposed to the death penalty,
are contained in a pamphlet published
by the League of Abolition of Capt.
tai Punishment, New York city
Ftr the most part the death penalty
falls upon the poor and helpless" :"
says the pamphlet. This is not news
to those familiar with the administra-
ton of criminal law. How often do
we hear of man or woman of wealth
being executed? Not often.
The pamphlet makes the significant
statement that there is less crime in
the states that have abolished the
death penalty than in those that still
execute murderers. The states that
have done away with the death pen
atty are Michigan, Rhode Island, Wis
consin, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota and
North and South Dakota.
But perhaps the most significant
and thought-provoking statement in
the pamphlet is the assertion that of
the one hundred and more persons
what are executed yearly in the United
States, the great majority are between
the ages of 16 and "a "These are
not our figures; they are the figures
of statisticians," the pamphlet says.
Scientists claim that man has not
attained his full mental growth be-
fore the age of thirty"
This appears to support the belief
Of many students of crime, who be-
lieve that few murderers are entirely
responsible for their acts Most mur-
derers are not sane, though perhaps
not insane in the strictly medical
sense of the term, they insist

JOHN d. NO LONGER A BOGEY
John d. Rockefeller is SO and mo-
body pays much attention to his birth
day More people are interested in
the fact that Chauncey Depew IS 93.
This is not because the venerable De
pew is older by few years, but be-
cause he has had more human con-
tact with his fellow men
Time was not so many years ago
that John D. Rockefeller got into print
chiefly as a target for blows and gibes.
He was the personifcaton Of the trust
the fat man in the checked suit, with
the check books and bludgeon pro-
truding from every pocket.
Cartoonists don't bother much about
Rockefeller today. There are two rea-
sons for this. One is that about 1914
Rockefeller hired a very expensive
publicity representative who was
worth what he was paid Another is
that trusts are not what they used to
be, in the public mind at least.
At one time no one would have
thought any human being remotely
connected with the event could live
down the horror Of the Ludlow massa-
ere, but it has been done. Many per-
sons today do not even know what the
Ludlow massacre was all about, OF
that the Rockeleffer's company union
scheme came into being almost imme-
diately thereafter.
Times change. Institutions assume
greater Importance, individuals be
come less important.

GARRETT
Opposed in Fight For u. S.
Senate By Labor

Nashville, Tenn.-Organized labor
in this state opposes Congressman
CARROTS candidacy for nomination for
United States senator in next years
primaries. He is leader of his minor
ity party in the house.
During his long service in congress
he was against many labor and pro-
gressive measures" says David Han
ly, legislative chairman of the Ten
nessee Federation of Labor
"The measures he fought include
the woman's suffrage amendment to
the constitution and the child labor
amendment He fought the Howell
Barkley railroad bill and he favored
Congressman Blanton's amendment to
the postal employees retirement bill
which would exclude members of or
ganized labor from its benefits"
Congressman Garrett was de-
nounced at a joint meeting of trade
union and railroad brotherhood rep
resentatives last year.
Memphis, Tenn" Garrett is reac-
tionary," declares Editor Cohen of the
Labor Review in leading editorial
denouncing Congressman Garrett's
candidacy against Senator Mcclellan.
His heart does not respond to the
nyo oorrnSciva acpirationS of tho neon1a -
the labor editor said. He represents
vested interests.
"Can Tennessee proclaim to the ma
tion that she is reactionary state?"

The current trend toward Winter

the opinion of Mr.. stokes.
During the last six years construc'

The District of Columbia Court of
Appeals has held that judge may
levy a fine or pass Jail sentence, but
not both.
Justice Siddons' Rule.
Justice Siddons' rule to show
cause" follows:
Upon consideration of the petition
this day filed by Peyton Gordon.
United States attorney in and for the
District of Columbia and upon appli'
cation in that behalf made, it is by
the court this 22d day of November.
A. D.. 1927,
.'Adjudged that Harry F. Sinclair.
William J. Burns, VIM. Sherman
Burns, Henry Mason Day. Sheldon
Clark and Charles l.. Feitsch, and
each of them appear in person and
show cause before this court, If any,
they and either of them have or has
on the 5th day of December. A. d.,
1927, at 10 o'clock am. why they
should not be adjudged in contempt
of the authority of this court as
prayed in said petition; certified copy
of the petition and this rule to be
served upon each of the respondents
named herein, on or before the nfst
day of December. A. D., 1927"
When discussion turned in the
courtroom to the date for the hear
ing, Justice Siddons told Maj. Gordon.
"You may make it as early as you
can" Gordon replied he would like
to have it in the early part of De-
cember. and the court suggested De-
cember 5, as that day is the last day
of the present term of juries. The
date thereupon was agreed to.
Friday Clark's hearing before United
States Commissioner Needham {.
Turnage OH a complaint signed by
Assistant United States Attorney Neil
Burkinshaw. charging Clark with at
tempting to tamper with the jury, is
scheduled to be held. Clark is unoer
$4,000 bond. 1t was understood at
the courthouse today that the Gov
eminent would ask for a continuance
for that hearing.
Duplication Is Seen.
1t was generally felt around the
courthouse that the contempt proceed.
ings instituted by Maj. Gordon would
have the effect of wiping out the spe-
cial committee of lawyers appointed
by Justice Siddons to inquire if per
sons mentioned in the four affidavitS
presented by the Government at the
height of the oil trial and which
brought about a mistrial are guilty
of contempt of court.
The proceedings of today, it was eX-
planned, would relieve the court of the
task of initiating the contempt issue,
as Mai Gordon and his staff now
shoulder the responsibility of going
into court and proving their conten-
ton that the jury was tampered with,
or efforts were made in that direction.
On December the matter will be
threshed out in open court, and for
the committee to continue with a pri-
vate investigation to determine If
contempt was committed would be
duplication of effort, it was held.

WOMEN In SPORT.
BY CORINNE FRAZIER

~ EATING your own record
l. rather than beating the other
fellow is the goal of every
IL in the District schools in ac-
elementary school athlete in
cordance with the system adopted at
the direction OF DR.. Rebecca Stone
road. director Of the public school
physical training department.
Athletes do not have to ,be talented
or skilled in any of the sports on the
program in order to enjoy competi-
ton, for they are constantly compet-
ing with their own marks-strlving to
better the record already set by them
selves. No matter how much of
novice a girl may be on the basket
ball field or tennis court, she can be
sure of participation and competitive
development. For the medals given at
the schools are not for the winning
teams in any sports, but for the play
ers reaching the required degree OF
efficiency in the various departments
of the game. Their efficiency Is tested
individually rather than through team
series and each girl stands strictly on
her own merits
To illustrate, In winning the bronze
efficiency medal, a girl is tested as
to her ability to throw goals. She must
make good on at least three out OF
five baskets. Then she may be tested
on her skill and accuracy in passing
the ball. On the cinder path, she must
run the 50-yard dash in seconds or
less. Her medal does not depend upon
whether she can beat any one else
running, simply upon whether she can
run the race within the time required.
In this way all of the girls have an
equal opportunity to win recognition
for their efforts In athletics and 1t
it the belief of DR.. Stoneroad and her
corps of istructors that much greater
numbers are gaining the benefits OF
sport endeavors since the athletic eff
cheney test button system was adopted
In the schools, than ever before.
Hundreds of school children receive
their bronze, silver and gold buttons
for passing the athletic efficiency tests
which are conducted by the play
ground department cooperating with
DIR. Stoneroad. Girls are prepared for
tests during their physical training
periods at school and after school

Good examples of the whirlwind fin

Apparently safe on the long end

nine runs in the ninth. Learning
about it afterward, the early departers
among the st. Louis fans were in
clined to be rather glad than sorry
that they had not stayed to see the
woeful end.
The wallop on the finish was ap-
piled also by the Pirates, who did most
of their heavy hitting in the eighth
to turn an apparent defeat into an
S-to-3 victory over the Cubs.

slightly-by the uarrowest degree
off from u direct right angle to the
line. This is because III placing his
hands ahead of the ball he failed to
compensate for it by turning the toe
of the putter slightly forward to com
pensate.
And Putter No. has learned that
turning the toe of the putter forward
to compensate for an advanced posi-
ton of the hands doesn't work SO
well, either since it is difficult to de-
termine how much or how little to

original principles and began putting
