RE PRIE VI
WON BY
INSANE
PLEA

BENTON, ILL.,, April ID
The ghostly arm Of Russell
Scott reached out from the
shadowland to which he went
as q suicide to bridge the
swinging gallows trapdoor upon
which Charlie Burger, 'scourge
of Egypt and head of the
most desperate gang in the
criminal annals of Illinois, was
to have stood today.
An exact copy Of the insanity plea
upon which Scott won last-minute
stay of execution late last night in
voked that section of the Illinois
criminal law which prohibits the
dealing of capital punishment to
those of unsound mind.
And today Burger, sitting In his
cell. which looks out over the
stockade and the Is steps to the
scaffold upon which he was to have
realized the meaning Of Friday, the
18th, chuckles in alternate fear and
scorn.
'Tt's a break" was his only COM
ment when Jim Pritchard, ex-soldier
sheriff Of Franklin county, notified
him of the action taken in the local
courts and which guarantees him at
least four more days Of life.
"At that" Berger said, I'D rather
walk IN those Is steps out there
than spend the rest Of my life with
the nuts at Chester.
Robert e. Smith, his attorney, at
9 o'clock last night filed the petition
for stay, signed by Nathan Birger,
a nephew.
Became Insane
The petition charged that Birger,
since his incarceration in the Frank
lin county jail, after his conviction
at Quincy for the murder of Mayor
Joe Adams, of West City, on De-
cember II, 1926. has become insane.
1t charged, in addition, that be.
cause of his mental condition he
has refused to eat or sleep, or see
his friends or take proper steps to
safeguard his interests and rights.
Judge Miller, after the. petition
had been filed, and States Attorney
Roy G. Martin had argued against
its acceptance, pointed out that
under the law the insanity hearing
must be granted and a sanity jury
empanelled to decide upon the ques-
ton of Birger's mental condition.
Jury Ordered
He ordered a sanity jury drawn,
and stated that the hearing on that
phase of the case will start Monday.
A stay, meantime, was granted until
next Tuesday morning. If date is
set for hearing on the sanity case,
a further stay will be granted.

AD,tIRAL FIskE's BIZARRE PSYCHOLOGY
(Chicaro 'ailv News).

Chicago ally News.
In an address to the Society Of New England
Women, Rear Admiral Fiske, retired, advanced a sim
ple-almost chi~ldish-theory Of war.
Women. he said. were responsible ultimately for
all international conflicts. If there were no women
and children there we'd be nothing to defend. for
there would be no treasures for envious rivals 70
covet. Men. according to Admiral Fiske. like the
austere and ascetic life; they do not want mansions.
limsuoines, jewelry, furs. Women. he asserted. love
luxury. and men strive 70 provide Il for them. Hence,
aggression, conquest, resistance and defense.
The Admiral added that, in view OF his analysis ~
the situation. he could not account for the pacifist
leanings Of the majority Of women. They might at
least ne thought, support national defense FRO
grams. since women alone cause war BY their vanity.
ambition, need Of ornament and beauty.
Admiral Fiske's psychology is as arbitrary and lame
as ms history or his economies in the first place
the majority Of women are not opposed to ADEQUATE
national defense; they are opposed to unnecessary war.
and they long for a reign Of law and reason in inter
national relations. In the second place. if there were
no women and children thehre would be no men either.
and there would be nobody to fight or 10 defend.
IN n ethird place. the notion that all men are
aseetic and self-denying is utterly baseless. Men love
power fame and Tory, and have fought to get them.
bisemark' for example, admitted that he had brought
about three wars in ordre TO create the unified Ger
man Empire. Did Biscmsrck think Of the Empire as q
peans Of gratifying German women's alleged passion
for luxury and display The idea is preposterous.
SO is Admiral Fishes expressed theory Of war and
defense.

Rus Line Mail Service

Recommendation of Postmaster G. W bennett %
the postal department. to the effect that bus line mali
service be established between Valley points VIII meet
general approyal throughout the Valley The recon-
msndation Of Postmaster bennett is in line with rec
concentrations Of the recent postmasters' convention
in Brownsville which went on record as favoring es-
tablishment Of bus service wherever such service
would be Of value.
Inter-valIey mail service has always been decidedly
unsatisfactory. In fact, II was more satisfactory zen
wars ago. when the Valley had less than half the
present population, than il is today. The ouiidihg q
highways. which aided the railroad freight service has
nroved = severe handicap 10 the passenger service and
as a consequence the railroads are not providing ser'-
ice such as is necessary for the handling OF inter
Valley mail with the promptness desired.
Bus lines are now operating 70 al parts q ne
Valley on regular schedules. Due to the paved hlgh-
ways these schedules are maintained under ali weather
conditions with q regularity equal TO that Of railwa
service They are operated by responsible parties ana
All lines are under the jurisdiction OF the state RAN
way commission.
In view Of these facts there Is no logical reason
WHY bus lire mail service throughout the Valley should
not be established. It would prove invaluable N IA
c~ilitating and promoting inter-Valley business ana
would be a service that every section Of the valley
would appreciate. Under present conditions the ser
vice between Valley points is proving a decided handi-
cap. and many business firms are forced to heavy eX-
rsndi,ures. So far as the service to outside points
is concerned there is no reasonable basis for complaint
due 10 the excellent through train service the Valley
enjoys.
Valley postmastcrs will doubtless be practically a
INIT IN supporting Postmaster Dement'S ecommen-
dations. and the movement for a bus mail service
should also have the united support Of all valley IN
terests.
