REVIVES CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FIGHT Unjust Application of Perjured Tes- timony and Circumstantial Evi dence Seen in Ince Film, The widely-discussed Question of capital punishment and its abolition has been revived in many quarters by the appearance of Thomas II. Ince's stirring melodrama, "Mother O' Mine," which comes to the Parm ele next Friday and Saturday. For more than half a century the abolition of capital punishment has been an issue in American public life. Several states have dispensed with the death sentence as the su preme penalty for crime, and one or two of these states have returned to the noose and the electric chair as the only effective means of both pun- j ishing and diminishing murder. In "Mother O' Mine" the abolition ists point out a striking example of the. danger of the state assuming to take the life of its major criminals. Robert Sheldon, the leading char acter of the drama, falls into an al tercation with his employer, the re sults of the latter's vicious slander ing of the boy's mother. A thrilling fight follows in which the elder man manages to get a revolver from the drawer of a table. The boy, fighting for his life, froces the gun from his employer's hand, and, falling to the floor, it is accidentally discharged, fatally wounding its owner. The only witness to the affray is the mistress of the slain man, who, in spite of her waywardness, is sin cerely devoted to him. She promises to avenge his death, and on the wit ness stand perjures herself, stating that the boy was the murderer, there by securing his conviction and sen tence to' the electric chair. Mother Intervenes There is apparently no hope for the condemned lad. His mother, how ever, intervenes and her determina tion and loyalty draw a confession from the guilty woman. Even then, with but a few hours of execution, only the resourcefulness of the dis trict attorney and a mad ride thru a raging storm effect the boy's re lease as he is strapped to the death chair. The decriers of capital punishment who have seen the Ince drama ad vance this episode, which has been duplicated in real life when circum stantial evidence has brought men to their doom, as an argument in sup port of their demand for doing away with the electric chair and the gal lows. There are many Instances on rec ord, they declare, where innocent men and women have suffered the death penalty when subsequent events proved their innocence, and they argue that "Mother O Mine" is a vivid dramatic example of the fal lacy of the system now generally in vogue. COUNTER WAGE CUT DEMAND Cincinnati, Nov. 29. Instructions were sent out today from the nation al headquarters of the brotherhood of railway and steamships clerks, freight handlers, station and express employes by E. H. Fitzgerald, grand president, to the 230 general chair men of the brotherhood to meet a new "proposed reduction of wages, with a counter demand for restora tion of pay in effect before the 12 per cent cut was ordered by the la bor board. TO DESTROY INFECTED STOCK. Columbus, Neb., Nov. 28. Dr. Welsh, of New York, will locate in Columbus as federal veterinary for this district, which is made up of Platte, Boone and Nance counties. The specific work is the constant in vestigation and surveilance of stock, the testing of stock for tuberculosis, seeing that those which are infected are destroyed, handling the matter of settlement or payment of stock for the government where destruction of stock is considered necessary to check the spread of tuberculosis and all other diseases of stock. Just at present the need of imme diate attention to these matters is of the most vital interest to farmers and stock raisers in this section, and a startling feature of the movement lies in the fact that a checking of the dread tuberculosis in hogs and cows leads to the checking or spread of the disease in humans. Physicians here attach great importance to this In vestigation of tuberculosis in cattle, as the drinking of milk from tubercu lar cows is in a tremendous measure responsible for the continued exis tence of the white plague in humans. A few hundred a month spent in this method of prevention on the part of the government with the aid of the local communities means the sav ing of millions of dollars in the at tempt to cure and in the actual elimination of all chance of con tracting the disease by eliminating it in cattle and hogs.

Journal Office HARDING WILL PUT 'ASSOCIATION' UP TO CONFERENCE When the Armament and Far East ern Questions are Out of the Way Before the Close. Washington, Nov. 29. President Harding's suggestion for a continu ing conference of nations is expected by administration officials to become the subject of formal discussion be fore the present conference ends. It was indicated in official quar ters today that although the. presi dent had no intentiou of complicat ing the Far Eastern and armaments negotiations by bringing Jhe subject before the conference at present, hv fully expected that after these ques tions are out of the way there will be a serious effort for an agreement for future similar meetings. As a result of foreign comment on the president's suggestion, it was al so declared by an administration spokesman that there was no inten tion that any "association" of na tions resulting from these confer ences should become in any way a rival of the league of nations. The president's position was said to be that the new "association" should not have the attitude of an "undermining agency" for the league. GETTING SHOPS OUT OF REACH OF LABOR BOARD New York, Nov. 29. Reports that several of the large eastern railroads have leased their repair shops to out side companies or were considering plans to conclude such leases were confirmed by railroad executives. It was explained that the desire to effect greater economies in opera tion, together with the recent contro versies over rules and working con ditions had prompted the roads to relinquish control of their shops, thus removing repair work from the Jurisdiction of the railroad labor board and the established wage scale which the latter insists shall be paid. It was announced , today that the Erie had leased its operating freight Etations at Elmira. Buffalo and Blng- bamtoa, N. Y., and was preparing to lease its shops at Youngstown, O., to a private firm. The New York Central also has leased its repair shops at Toledo, O.. and East Buffalo to a private com pany.
