and of the conclusions drawn from them.
 Sir Herbert Stephen, an eminent legal authority who was clerk of the assize for the northern circuit from 1889 to 1927. differs very en- phatically from both Lord Buck master and Sir Herbert Samuel.
 q apprehend" he says, that something like eighty persons are annually condemned to death in England. Of these about half are hanged and think the probability is they richly deserved it. If the law could be made a more exact measure of the different degrees of villainy I think it would be de- sirable slightly to extend it and make a few other crimes punisL- able with death"
 It is with such conflicting opin- ion as these that the new parlia- ment will have to deal next spring, for the movement against capital punishment has reached such pro- portions that it must be disposed of one way or the other.

UNALGA RETURNS; WAS PROCEEDING
 TO ASSIST STARR

The Coast Guard cutter Unalga, Com. E. s. Addison. returned to her base here early last evening. The cutter had left Juneau Sun- day morning in answer to calls for assistance from the steamer Alameda. that at that time re ported breaking of the line with which she was towing the dis abled mail steamer Starr.
 The cutter had steamed full speed from Juneau and was out side of Cross Sound off Cape Spencer when the radio message was intercepted that stated that the Alameda had managed to put another towline aboard the Starr and was safely on her way to Seward.
 Officers on the Unalga were all praise for the officers and crew of the Alameda and the seamanship that was exhibited when that ship had again made fast to the Starr. At the time the towline parted heavy seas were running and the Alameda was unable to approach the little ship for several hours. It was at that time that the message was sent asking for help. The Starr was in a dangerous posi- tion due to being close to the shore and it was feared that she would drift to the beach before another line could be put aboard. T h rou g h skillful manuevering and daring seamanship the Ala meda approached close in the high swel1s and managed to take the Starr in tow when that ship was dangerously close to the rocks.

Jungle fastness. lurking dangers, the mysterious beat of the tom toms, the soul-searching silences and what these things do to the loves of men and women are shown in Ralph Inee's FBO production, South Sea Love-" at the Coliseum tonight.
 It is enc of the most remarkable pictures of the year.
 The story begins in the Roar ing Forties" of the Big City, shifts to the jungle depths of 20 de- grees latitude, and ends-well, no matter how it ends. It has to be seen to appreciate the tense drama of it and the beauty of the pho tography.

there remains only capital punish ment as a relic of the old, bar barrie times. Tn " are asking whether the supreme penalty ex- acted by the state and carried out in cold blood by it's agents can be sharply distinguished from brutal murder.
 Eminent legal men, however, are widely divided on the subject. Lord Buckmaster, a former Lord Chan cellor of England, is an energetic worker in favor of doing away with the death penalty. He points out that eight European states no longer execute criminals and that eighteen states of | h. e United States of America have taken the same course. He insists that there has been no increase in mur- der since. He argues that penal servitude for life will amply pro- tect society and that the object of legal punishment should be pro tection, not revenge.
 To Examine Question
 Sir Herbert Samuel, former home secretary and high commissioner for Palestine, has entered the dis cussion. He advocates that par lament appoint a select commit tee to examine the whole question and that such a committee be charged with the duty of inquiring into the experience of the states where capital punishment has al- ready been abolished, and particu- larly of testing the validity of the statistics that have been published
