Alone and Broke; Dead

James Britt was alone, friendless and broke, 50
he is dead today.
He died in the electric chair i'll, Michigan City
prison Thursday night for murder.
Advocates OF speedy Justice" should be satisfied.
But they might blend with their satisfaction this
thought Why was James Britt alone, friendless and
broke, the only to die in the states electric
chair since April 10, 1923?
Murder convictions in the state in 1929 numbered
t01. Ono man pays the extreme penalty. Most Of
the Sayers had either money, influence or friends
many had all three.
James Britt had none OF these. Did he die be-
he was alone, friendless and broke? There
seems to be but one answer.

Editor, Tirnes-I just real an ar
ticle in your paper about married
women working and think the man
who wrote it should. find out what
he is writing about before he writes.
There are some married women
who, perhaps, spend their wages on
clothes. but the majority of them
use it to help their husbands, as 1
do. I have worked ever since I
was married, ten years ago. and my
money has not been spent on clothes
or expensive furniture. My husband
works all the time, too. He is an
ordinary man. making ordinary
wages, and he needs by help.

DRIsONs do not necessarily re-
l. fleet the true social condition OF
a country.
Crime can flourish without any
thing to show for it, except the SUI
fering Of victims. It all depends on
how rigidly the laws are enforced.
No one will argue, however, that
England IS lax in this respect.
Her prison population is small not
because the police are negligent, or
incompetent, but because she has
made real progress in suppression
Of crime.
In his latest compilation of HON
icide statistics. DR.. Hoffman points
out that, while the rate was 105
to 100000 people in thirty-one cities
Of this country last year, it was only
S in England.
Since the rate in these thirty-o one
cities may be taken as the average,
it follows that an Americans chance
OF being murdered is about twenty
times that Of an Englishman, and
the same ratio probably holds good
with regard to other crimes.

International

TINE international character Of
Il science is as old as the history
of civilization. Science had its be-
ginningS among the Egyptians and
Babylonians.
The Greeks developed the begin
nins which these earlier cultures
had made and when Rome con-
quered the world of its day, it took
over Greek science.
After the decline Of Rome, the
Jews and Arabs kept science alive
until Europe was ready for the re-
vival of learning.
The theory that the sun was the
center Of the solar system, an idea
which a few Greeks had held, was
revived and established by Copern-
icus, a Pole.
The observations necessary to
confirm this theory we're made by
Tycho Brahe, q Zane. Keppler, q
German, analysed these observa-
tons and deduced the laws OF
planetary motions from them.
Calico, an Italian, built the first
telescope and clinched the work OF
these other men by his observations
of the heavens. In addition, Calico
formulated the laws of motion.
Sir Isaac Newton, the great
Englishman, building chiefly on the
laws of Keppler and Newton, devel-
oped his great law Of universal gray
itation.
Other scientific Developments
would illustrate the point equally
well, In the development of the
atomic theory, we find the names OF
Roentgen, a German; Becquerel, q
Frenchman; Curie, a Frenchman;
Nine. Curie, a Pole by birth;
Thompson, an Englishman; Bohr,
Dane; Rutherford, an Englishman
Millikan, an American, and so on

XTTHILE we face the task OF
w building more prisons, Eng
land finds it possible TO do with
fewer.
Right now she is preparing to
abandon three important in
stitutions.
Not only that, but she has
abandoned not less than twenty
eight during the last sixteen years
And not only that but her prison
population has decreased from TO-
600 in 1904 to 1000 in 1929.
During the same period our prison
population has increased.
AT present, there are at least four
times as many Americans in jail to
1000 population as there are Eng
lishnen.
Whatever may be concluded from
the comparison, it certainly sn1aSheS
some of our pet theories.
Neither prohibition nor prosperity
has 1essened crime in this country.
On the other hand, neither pow
erty nor hooch has increased crime
in England.
What is equally significant. En-
gland seems to have accomplished
far more with a slow, steady pro-
gram Of improvement than we have
with our sudden half-baked limo

RESERVES ARRIVE
IND. C. TOMORROW
Three Destroyers Bringing
Naval Units Here on Annual
Training Cruise.

Three deStroyers of Uncle Sans At
lantic scouting fleet are expected to
dock at the Washington Navy Yard to-
morrow afternoon, and will remain here
until Monday. They are bringing TO
the Capital City three divisions of Naval
Reserves, two of them from Rochester
and one from Buffalo, N. Y. The units
of Naval Reserves are taking their an
nual training cruises, and the vessels
have been operating in the Chesapeake
Bay during the current week, having
left New York City last Saturday.
Capt. Gordon w. Haines, u. S. N,
commander of Destroyer Division No.
40, Of the Scouting Fleet, is in COM
mand of the three vessels, which, how
ever, do not compose the regular diVi-
sion. He is on the flagship Lawrence,
which Is commanded by Lieut.. Comdr
J. D. Jones. Comdr. ". j. Dixon is
in command of the destroyer Sands,
anc$her of the feet, and Lieut.. Comdr
S. A. Manahan is in command Of the
third, the destroyer Humphreys.

here. Comdr Field pointed out that
this is the usual midcruise liberty Pc
riod for the destroyers with Reserve
trainees aboard. The destroyers, while
regularly attached to the Atlantic
Scouting Fleet, have been assigned this
year to special duty in cruising with
Reserves. During this period a por-
ton of the regular complement was
given leave to make room for the Re
serviSts.
Largest FlotiIIa in Months.
Although the local training destroyer

of local Reserves for training, is regu-
larly berthed at the Washington yard,
this Is said to be the first time in
many months that such a large flo

been in this port, and the ships are
expected to attract considerable atten-
ton.

President Wood of Light Com
pany Tells Utilities Body
Cost Will Be Lower.
ENLARGED MARKET
OBJECT OF CHANGE
Employees of Washington Concern
and Subsidiaries Are to
Retain Positions.

Natural gas will be in use in Wash
ington by January /, according to q
public statement yesterday by G. A. G
Wood, president of the washington Gas
Light Co. Mr. Wood went to the Dis
trict Building and gave the information
to the Public Utilities Commission
The commission asked whether he
would submit them his contract for the
purchase of the natural gas before 1t
was signed. He replied that he prob
ably would not. n
The natural gas is to be bought from
a subsidiary of the Columbia Gas &
Electric Co.. and is to be delivered tc
the District from pipe line near Rock
vile. It will cost the Washington COM
pany somewhat less than the present
cost of manufacturing the carburetted
water gas which is used in Washington
Directed From Higher Up.
The natural gas deal gives the pub
lie something of line on the way a
company works after it has been bought
by outside interests and its operations
begin to be directed from higher up.
The company is seeking larger mar
ket. This it expects to accomplish by
charging lower rates for gas. To meet
the Increased demand it buys from a
sister corporation natural gas by means
of a contract not under the control OF
the local regulating body.
And this, according to Mr.. Wood, Is
only the first step in program OF
expansion" More is to come later.
Quoting Mr.. Woods statement:
Natural gas will be brought in to
take care of anticipated immediate in
creased gas consumption as result OF
the new rate schedule and the taking In
of much additional territory.
eventually it is likely that more gas
will have to be manufactured to &C
commodate the tremendous gas load
that the new management anticipates
and at that time a by-product plant
will loom large in the development
plans.
Whole Situation Considered.
Contrary to popular belief. natural
gas is not necessarily cheaper than gas
manufactured under favorable condl-
lions with up-to-date equipment, put
having in mind our whole situation, we
thought it advisable to make tnlS nat
ural gas arrangement.
Under the present plan no one who
is an employe in the plant OF the WASH
ington Gas Light Co. or any OF its SUB
sidiaries, the RoSslyn Gas Co. or the
Georgetown Gas Co. will lose his job as
a direct result of natural gas coming
here"
AS for the lower rates, Mr.. Wood has
said that he would file proposed
schedule with the Utilities Commis.
sion this month. Thus far 1t has not
materialized, but it is thought that II
will be in by the end Of the week. Be
fore such a schedule could be put into
effect public hearings before the COM
mission would be necessary, although
it is not thought that there would be
any opposition to reduction If it were
Genuine
