him.
But for all that, Burke was one
of the finest characters the game
ever knew. He came up. from the
amateur ranks, a tall, angular
Irishman, with spindly legs and a
hide full of freckles. He won the
national middIeweight and heavy
weight A. A. U. titles the same
night, fighting four men to do it.
This was back in 1918. 1t was
around this time that he met Jack
Dempsey. He wanted to learn
more about fighting. Dempsey took
him as sparring partner. For
more than a year Burke, at sp1-
radio intervals, spared with
Dempsey.
DURKE was still an araateur. He
Ab wore his A. A. U. medals with
a show of genuine PRIDE. Dempsey
couldn't pay him.
Burke took tie amateur spirit
seriously, a whcde lot more serious
ly, suspect, than some of our
gorgeous amateurs who stride ma
jestically about the tennis courts
and the golf courses,
Recalling those days Dempsey
once remarked: II never could tell
whether Burke was a saint or a
sap.N
1t should be mentioned here
that the matter of amateurism
with its attending high moral in
huenceS has never been known to
cramp Dempsey's style.
I'm later years Burke helped train
Il Dempsey for all his big fights
The only one he missed was the
second Tunney fight in Chicago, and
something developed out there that
added to his standing as a man.
Mr.. Leo Paluka Flynn, who had
charge of the Dempsey come back,
knew that Burke was friendly with
one of Tunney's associates. He
didn't like that. When Burke heard
how Leo Paluka felt about it he
moved out Of the camp. Dempsey
probably never knew why.
Burke's loyalties to the old man
mauler were tremendous. He was
among the first to detect his
deterioration at Atlantic City two
years ago when DEMPSEY came out
of retirement after three years. He

BY SEYMOUR PAUL

PANAMA CITY, Jan. 11.-Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh has doubly
captured the fancy of Panama
first through his engaging spirit Of
good will and second by his clever
ness as an airplane pilot.
Beginning the final day of his
visit to the western end Of the
Panama Canal, Lindbergh found
the acclaim for himself growing in
intensity. His arrival here from
Costa Rica brought cheers of friend
ship. These changed into greater
cheer of respect after his exhibition
Of air proves yesterday.
When he stunted over the city In
single-seated army plane, thou
sands at the capital watched In awe.
He went through a series Of difficult
air maneuverS that pleased the
crowd. Their pleasure was in
creased when he took President
CHAR and First Vice President
Thomas Gabriel Duque up for short
trips in an army two-seater.
Takes Officials in Air
He took the executives up Singly
for short trips over the city. 1t was
the first fight either of Panama'S
officials had taken, and both re-
marked on the skilfullness Lind
bergh displayed and the safety they
felt while flying with him.
Today Lindbergh after moving from
American legation to the home Of
Acting Governor Burgess of the
Panama Canal, will visit the west
ern end of the canal. 1t will be
his last day here, as he plans to
take off Thursday for Colon.

who, afterwards, were found to be
innocent.
Finally, it has so many legal
safeguards that it is slow in
operation and so arbitrary that
it cannot be made to fit all of the
varying degrees of even first de-
gree murder. BY reason of all
these defects, it remains a useless
punishment too seldom applied by
judge and jury to be a warning.
In place of death, what?
Upon conviction of murder in
the first degree, the defendant
shall be sentenced to life i'm
priSonment.
Penalty for Revenge
Prisoners serving life sentences
shall not be pardoned, nor shall
their terms be committed by the
Governor until they have served
at least twenty years actual time,
unless the highest court of the
State shall make an order, in
which the majority of its men,
bers concur, to the effect that:
(a) Evidence which was not
known at the time of the trial or
which was not presented creates a
probable doubt of the guilt of the
accused, or
(b) Facts or circumstances exist
which, in the opinion of the court,
make case for executive
clemency consideration.
After a prisoner shall have
served twenty years actual time,
he shall be eligible for considera-
ton of pardon or for commuta-
ton to a lesser term than life,
and, if committed, to a definite
term Of years, he may thereafter
earn communication and compensa-
ton.
A substantial percentage of the
earnings of the prisoner shall be
applied to the support of his de-
pendentS or those Of the person
killed.
Capital punishment is I'M
been and never can be anything
but an uncertainty. 1t is a punish
ment for revenge, for retaliation,
not for protection.

HINT SECOND
BOND SCANDAL
IN OIL PROBE
Senate Investigators Seek
to Question Rockefeller
and Aid on Deal.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE
Senate Teapot Dome investigators
believe they are about to reveal an
other sensational chapter in the
oil scandal cases.
They hope to question John D.
Rockefeller Jr., George E. Vincent,
head of the Rockefeller foundation,
and other witnesses who may cast
light on the affair.
They think they are fairly GER
tain of ascertaining who received
$2,849,5o0 missing profits Of the
Continental Trading Company, the
short-lived corporation organized in
Canada by Harry F. Sinclair with
an unexplained motive.
Trace by Serial Numbers
Government counsel against SIN
clair in the Teapot Dome case claim
to have proved that the trading
company converted all its $3,080,000
profits into Liberty bonds. They
think the numbers of all these bonds
may be obtained at a Canadian
bank in New York, where they were
deposited, and that the Treasury
Department can help them identify
men who got the bonds.
Government attorneys have estab-
lished that $230,500 of the bonds
found their way into possession Of
former Secretary of Interior Fall
shortly after he leased Teapot
Dome to Sinclair. These are the
only bonds SO far accounted for.
Senator Norris, instigator of the
new Senate inquiry, says the trad
ing company was organized for only
one transaction to buy oil from GER
tain men and sell it back TO them
for Is cents a barrel more.
Willis Quits Probe
Why those oil men were willing to
drop millions into the company's
Golfers, if not for a purpose best kept
secret, is a puzzle Norris wants to
solve.
Government lawyers were stumped
on this phase of the oil scandals,
because one witness died, two others
fled to Europe and all books and pa
pers of the trading company were
said to have been destroyed.
The Public Lands Committee,
which is to conduct the inquiry I'M
der the Norris resolution, will meet
this afternoon in executive session.
The investigation is to be in the
hands of Senator Thomas j. Walsh
of Montana, who first uncovered the
cases after months of investigation.
Walsh says he wishes to learn
important details from Rockefeller
and Vincent.
Senator Willis of Ohio, who has
thrown his hat in the Republican
presidential ring, retired from the
investigating committee late Tues
day and Senator Cutting of New
Mexico was appointed in his place.

ical opinion that the six men, who
lived for days in the torpedo room
of the sunken S-4, tapping out re-
quests for aid until carbon dioxide
poisoning killed them, had an easy
death-so far as physical discom-
forts are concerned-was before the
official naval inquiry board today.
Lieut.. G. j. Flotte, naval medical
officer, gave the opinion in describ-
ing the way death may have over
taken the six men. He was asked
how carbon dioxide-cauSed by the

He pointed to the necessity Oh
putting submarines to tests which

Is the death of the murderer
necessary as a measure of public
safety?
Must we admit that we kill be-
cause we can devise no better way,
that is the easiest solution Of the
dilemma?
The murderer is not a criminal in
his nature. During twenty years,
I have known many men who have
been committed from death, and
invariably, they have been quiet,
dependable and trustworthy.
zone Crime" Men
When we examine the record Of
men convicted of murder, we be-
come impressed by the preponder-
ance of those who are zone crime
men,"
Nearly three out of four who
come into the Sing Sing death
house have committed the crime
as a first offense.
1t also is very true that the
thought of the penalty is rarely in
the mind of the person who COM
mits murder. Few crimes Of
murder are of sufficient premedi-
tation to permit any regard to
the consequences to be in the
mind of the perpetrator.
How is it possible to suppose
that any penalty which is inflicted
so spasmodically can be deter
rent? Statistics show that every
where it is a punishment that is
conspicuous by the infrequency Of
its application.
In twelve of our States. from
1912 to 1919, there were 10000
homicides with 1856 executions.
In New York State, from 1912
to 1921, there were $500 homicides
with 1T executions.
Abroad, the same uncertainty
prevails.
In England and Wales, in the
same period, there were $500
homicides with 125 executions.
In France, in four years, nearly
5000 honicideS resulted in forty
eight executions.
Capital punishment has never
equal in the way it is applied to
the rich and to the poor. Juries
do not Intentionally favor the
rich, the law is theoretically i'm
partial; but the defendant with
ample means is able to have his
case presented with every favor

1t is a punishment of absolute
flnality, there is no opportunity
for the correction of mistakes. I
