BUTLER PROPOSES
CURE
Opposes UnenforceabIe Laws
and Cruel Punishment
for VioIatorS.
BY the Associated Press.

by Jne Associated EIesS.
NEW YORK, December 26. - DR..
Nicholas Murray Butler, president OF
Columbia University, in his annual re-
port issued yesterday, criticizes present
day crime cures which would operate by
providing harsher penalties.
THE cure for lawlessneSS Is not to
pass more laws" he said. still less to
inflict more rigid, more severe and more
cruel punishmentS for law violation.
These can only be more or less futile
and aggravating expedients.
THE true cure is first not to enact or
promulgate laws which the general will
does not or will not accept, and then to
train that general will to habit Of in
telligent self-discipline which will make
it law abiding when it accepts laws as
just and right"
He mentioned the laws of Arkansas,
Mississippi and Tennessee, which forbid
the teaching of evolution, as being
among those he believed unenforceable.
The folly of this proceeding can
only be excelled by its fruitleSsness," he
said. Such law is not, and cannot
be, enforced. simply because 1t is not
by nature enforceable"
He said the anti-evolution laws were
good example OF ''tne tnOuSand ana
one compulSions. prohibitions and re-
strictive regulations which crowd our
American statute books and which are
the joy and delight of the legalistical-
ly-minded."
He reported appropriations of s10.-
088, ,987 to cover the annual university
budget. nearly S8,000000 of which goes
for educational administration and in

DRY LAW CHARGES
HELD UNSUPPORTED
Prosecutor Releases Two Women
Against Whom Evidence of Sell
ing Liquor Was Insufficient.

Lack Of sufficient probable cause"
and what was declared improper Cow
erage" of an informer caused Assistant
United States Attorney David A. Hart
today to refuse to issue papers against

not properly covered" the case, was
John Wade. colored, who, December IS,

colored, 1900 block of Twelfth street.
and claimed to have bought pint of
liquor. On Christmas eve, police of the
eighth precinct arrested her for sale
and possession.

liquor on the second floor of her home.
The officers had entered the home,
however, in search of man wanted
