Judge Latshaw, of Kansas City, notifed two negroes that had as. ault- ed a woman that if they pleaded guilty before him he would assess the death penalty. This will put him in bad with mollycoddles and others who worry about the fate of brutes ! who assault women, but to thinking people he will be considered the right sort of aman to have on the bench. The sooner people realize that death is the only terror to a thug who is so degraded as to assault a woman, the quicker will such assaults become ‘less frequent, if not abated entirely. ' Society should give no more consid- eration to an alleged human being | who would ‘assault a woman than to amad dog. The way to deal with | such crimes is with a rope ina legal ‘manner, siys the Springfield Leader. Bates eK their: Thos.

Reese and Leonard Reese, sons of Patrol- man G. T. Reese, of the Atlanta po- lice foree, were convicted of burg- lary this afternoon on their father’s evidence and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. The two boys were arrested by their father in the act of robbing a store last Friday night. He appeared in court as prose- eutor. Patrolman Reese, on the wit- ness stand, said: “Livied to raise my boys right and it neav'y killed me when T found them trying to rob a store, but I felt it was my duty, under my oath as an officer, to arrest them and prosecute. I told them they were guilty and they must take their punishment."” “There is indeed a real man,”’ said Judge Roan, when the elder Reese had finished speaking, ‘‘and an oflicer who has the highest pos- sible regard for his oath. He deserves to rank with the old Roman Judge who condemned his own son."’ “A case of Spartan virtue and like some story from the Old Testament,”’ said Solicitor General Charles D. Hill. WANT FEDERAL AID FOR ALASKAN ROAD. Plans to Build Railway From Tidewater to Interior Alaska. Washington, Jan.—A scheme fora government guaranty for a through railroad project, from tidewater to interior Alaska, in which the Guggen- heim interests figure, looms back of adisplay of near—Arctic grain and vegetables that stocked the room of the house committee on territories. The Guggenheim mining interests have copper properties in the Copper river section, and until recently it has been claimed they wanted no guar- anty. Now a movement has been given new life, looking to general legislation to guarantee the interest on the bonds of railroads built in Alaska after a.certain amount of con- struction work has been completed. Its advocates claim that capital can- not be induced into the territory with- ‘out government co-operation. The matter has not yet come before the committee. | The railroad project, with its pro- posed connections, contemplates tide ‘water outlets at Cordova, east of Valdez, the eastern terminus to be at | Fairbanks, not far from the Arctic \cirele, and the exhibit on the terri- | tories committee’s table is intended to show what that section can produce jand promise in the way of agricultur- {al railroad traffic. x 3 tA a wt ‘
