KIRK k COMPANY, CHICAGO White Russian izzztXEgz I PSYCHIC ELEMENT IN CRIME Trend1 af Discussion in Internatieaal Oon- greu af Oriminaliita, NELD BETTER DEFINITION OF ATTEMPT French Delegate Makes a Vlsjorons Plea Asalnst White Slave Trade Which Still Exists In Some Plaeea. ST. PETERSBURG. Friday. Sept. (Correspondence ot the Associated Press.) The psychic element in crime appears to be the peg upon which all the noteworthy ut terances ot the ninth congress ot the later national Society ot Criminalists, now sit ting in this city, are going to be hung. Thla aoclety was founded on the Initiative of President Frans von Liszt ot Berlin, whom many American students will recall as the atrenuoua u porter of the thesis that the object ot the organs of Justice Is the protection of society and not the ex piation of crime, nor, by Itself considered, the reformation ot the criminal. Prof. Llsit Is president of the present congress. There are about 300 foreign del egates, largely from Germany, though nearly every important country except the United States la represented. "Tho Importance In penal law of the psychic elements of crime In comparison with Its material consequences" occupied the position of honor In the program. Bettor Definition Needed. Prof, von Mayer ot Germany offered the following theals: 1. The criminal law ahould contain a definition of an attempt. 1. eucn a oennmon must do emancipated from the traditional notion of the "be ginning of execution." 3. An attempt la punishable only when expressly determined by law. 4. The punishment of attempta ahould be In principle the same aa that of completed crimes, with the reservation of a limited judicial power of remission. 6. When penitence for an attempted crime la shown, punishment Is to be remitted. Another speaker put the case thus: A child at play may atart a conflagra tion; the desperate plans of a crime-steeped criminal may full; snail we guillotine the child and lot the criminal still prey on aoclety until he auccceda in some villainy T The congress, by a large majority, adopted the following conclusions, which were formulated by Profs. Von Llsit and Van Hamel of Amsterdam: 1. Nobody Is punishable for the conse quence of hla acts, except In ao far aa be could have foreseen or prevented them. . Aa to the question of complicity, the law should drop all doctrinaires' distinctions between those who have Dartii-iDated In the crime Itself and confine itself to Indicat ing the modea ot oarticlDatlon that it will consider ae auch. S. The ouestion of the attemnt will re main on the order of the day of the aoclety. Plea Aa-alaat Slave Trade. A strong plea for effective action against the white slave trade waa made by M. O. Fenllleley, advocate general of the court of cassation at Paris. He demanded the punishment of those engaged In this traffic, even wben the object ot It Is of age and when neither traffic nor constraint can be proven, on the ground that the law cannot recognise the validity ot voluntary consent to the sale ot a human being. The congress haa not yet acted on this matter. In welcoming the delegates Minister of Justice Muravleft made the following state ment: The publication of a nvw criminal law book la Imminent In Runaia. Thi council of the empire has recently received a project for the complete reorganisation of criminal court procedure. Important changes have been made in our penitentiary system, numce 11 to nienuon tne aDoniion of deportation (by judgment of court) to Siberia, the transfer of prison management from the ministry of the Interior to that of Justice, the reform of our prison system, especially or prison moor; tne establish ment of correctional institutions and the preliminary work in the matter of the conditional sentences. Migration of feasants. The. annual migration of Russian Polish to Prussia Is well known. Attention Is called by the St. Petersburg Vedomlstt to a similar movement on a larger scale within the borders of European Russia. It Is calculated that 2.137.000 peaaants. In sufficiently provided with arable lands. leave their bomea in tbe central and northern province every year to seek work In the south. Most of them atart with only about a dollar in their pockets bor rowed from a usurer generally expecting to find work. Owing to tbe great varia tion la the yield many arrive In famine stricken districts. The writer proposes tbe organitation of an information bureau to communicate (o the migrators the gov ernment crop reports. Tbe peasanta still largely form a aeparate world and few know that such things as crop reports exist.

LONDON, Oct. 3. The Bank of England' a rate of discount waa Increased from I to 4 per cent today. The advance In the bank rate bad. la a great measure, been anticipated la eons quenee of the stringency of the money mar ket and the depletion of the gold, aa shown by the report ot tbe Bank of England. Consequently Its effect on the Stock ex change was moderate. Pricea declined, fractionally la all ths leading departmenta, under the lead of consols, which lost one eighth of 1 point. Opinion la Lombard atrett favored aa advance of a full point, as it was claimed that the time tor precautionary measures had arrived. Notwithstanding Secretary Shaw'a measures a strong demand for her gold for the United Statea continues and Egypt and South America are customers. Tbe general opinion of the leading Lea don bankers tended to the belief that the New Tork market rightly summed up tho situation by lending a stronger toae to securities. All well Informed quarters were prac tically sure that there would be a rise la the rate and had taken measures accord ingly. One of ths largest Anglo-Araortoaa financiers aaid to a representative of lh Associated Press: "The raise only brought the late to la right level. I would not be surprised at a further Increase, as the termer nominal bank rate waa considerably below several transactions which occurred during tho laet few daya." Tbe forthcoming Japanese loaa Is aot likely to seriously affect ths gold situa tion In tbe United State. The payments are expected to be extended over a con siderable period, though, as one baaker said. "!' will not make money any cheaper " American Order for Coal. LONDMf- Oct. . According to the Bt.
