PANKHURSTS VARY GREATLY AS TO IDEALS England’s ‘Most Remarkable Family Trio’ Widely Di- vergent in Aims ‘Kangaroo Courts’ Still Active in Nearly All Jails) Chicago, Oct. 1.—A—A relic of the trials aboard pirate ships in the days of the Spanish Main persists in almost every jail in the country, | {says Capt. George H. Weideling, | retiring warden of the Cook County ; (Chicago) jail. It is the “kangaroo court”, or- ganized and conducted by the! prisoners for the punishment of | petty offenses among themselves. The “court” exists in every prison and jail he has visited, Capt. Weid- eling declares. | The paradox: honor existing among criminals lies at the base of | the days of the Jolly Roger, when! the penalty was often a walk down | the gangplank. Usually the sen- tence now is a fine of ten or fifteen cents, for such offenses as failing to wash the neck, untidy cell, or} petty theft. Sometimes when the} crime is graver, the inmates take | the “law” into their own hands. | Sheriff Peter Hoffman was con- victed of some unannounced sen- tence during his contempt confine- ment at Wheaton jail and fined $50 | by the “kangaroo court.” The court within the jail is not, as a rule, a makeshift affair, but, regularly organized by the prison-{ But they never discuss politics ers themselves, Capt.
