It VI doubtful II any great number Of the American
public was surprised when news dispatches from Chi
cago Tuesday carried the information that due to an
error n the mittimus under which Richard Loeb and
Nathan Leopold, Jr, we're sent to the penitentiary
four years ago, they would be eligible for pardon In
six years.
Errors Of that character have the habit Of creeping
into such cases. and are responsible. 70 no small de-
gree. for the contempt for law which prevails through
out the United states.
Leopold and Loeb were convicted Of one Of the most
strocioas crimes in the history of Chicago-the muir
der n a. innocent boy merely for the thrill" The
death sentence was demanded by the state. but they
were consigned 10 joliet penitentiary for life, with the
undertaking they we're not eligible to pardon.
Now comes the discovery that through an error in
the mittimus they are eligible for pardon, and no one
questions that the great wealth q their families will
be an important factor in securing that pardon.

board. who made public the fact that the error existed,

society. The court held they were not eligible for pa
role or pardon. but a kindly error has evidently open
cd the avenue whereby they can escape the justice they
so richly merit.
The American public has become so accustomed to
such errors that they accept them as q matter Of course.
They have repeatedly witnessed criminals Of the most

under medium height and quite energetic. He has been
IN New York recently. making friends with sundry

was that Mr.. Lewis did not make q speech He even
refrained from rising 70 make . bow when he was in

Harry Hansen and Harry ~salpeter, both 81 whom

while rowing about among the guests. Hansen does

THE EQUINoCTIAL FALLACY

a.AH NAAWHN
The widely held opinion that the hurricane which
ulayed havoc in Porto Rico was an "equinoctial storm
Is not sustained BY authorities on such phenomena.
They saw. indeed. that the old idea Of severe storms
occurring when the sun crosses the equator in Sep
tember and in March Is only a popular superstition"
without basis in scientific fact True it is that the
West Indian season for hurricanes begins in late SUM
mer and wontedly y At its worst toward the middle or
end Of September. But there is no essential connec-
ton. we are told. between these and the autumnai
eouinoS. A Science Service reports the approved view
Of such storms:
Tropical hurricanes, such a. the Porto Rican one,
or the famous Galveston storm Of September, 1900.
originate over the Atlantic ocean in the tropics some
where north Of the equator. Calm air, high tempera-
ture and humidity arc the most favorable conditions
for the formation of a hurricane, and these are most
likely to be fulfilled in the 'doldrums' Of the North At
Iantic ocean IN the late umm or early fail. Hurri-
canes may occur at any time Of the year, or in other
rlaces. They also occur in the Pacific ocean. Trose
that occur south Of the equator differ from those ex-
perienced in the West Indies and other parts Of the
northsrn hemisphere. because the winds in the north

ASCERTAIN ELECTION DIS
COURAGES BETTING
By CHARLES r. STEWART


NEW YORK. Sept. 2s.-Old-tim-
ers in Wall Street say they never
saw so little betting on q president
tai election as this one
Which ~ peculiar. considering how
interested the public seems to be.
Brokers had expected il to be a
campaign Of record-breaking stakes.
The odds started at two and a half
to one in Hoover's favor.
If these early offers had been
freely covered this wide margin or
difference between the two candi-
dates would have been cut down very
quickly. until today the rate probab-
IN would not be far from fifty
fifty.
Instead there we're practically no
takers.
The result is that the original
two-and-a-half-to-cne quotation still
prevails.
Wagers on past elections. as far
back a. the most venerable hrok-
ers can remember, have tctalled well
