ANTIDEATH HOUSE CAMPAIGN PLANNED Abolish Capital Punishment League to Hold Mass* Meeting Oct. 4. Elimination of the death house as & factor in District criminal procedure is the objective of a drive to be launched here Friday night, October 4, with a general mass meeting at the Washington Auditorium. Several busi- ness and civic leaders here will address the meeting, arranged under auspices of the newly organized Washington Chapter of the American League to Abolish Capital Punishment, while a | well known British penologist will have | the keynote place on the program. ‘The visitor, E. Roy Calvert of Lon- don, will be introduced by Charles W. Darr, president of the Washington Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Darr, who led the recent campaign which re- sulted in his organization definitely committing itself against capital pun- ishment in the District, will outline to the meeting something of the history of the fight to have Congress enact an anti-capital punishment bill. Judge O'Toole a Speaker. - Ithough the speaking schedule is &s yet incomplete, among others who have accepted a place on the program include Judge Mary O'Toole of the Municipal Court. Judge O'Toole was chairman of the committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to inves- tigate the death penalty issue and make a report on its findings to the general ‘The late Representative O. J. Kvale of Minnesota, who was burned to death a fortnight ago when his hunting lodge in Minnesota caught fire, was to have had a place on the speaking program. His place will be filled, however by a gn:g\ber of Congress to be announced Members of Congress have assured local leaders of the movement that Congress will do away with capital pun- ishment in the District when a favor- able public sentiment is manifest. Al- ready a move is under way to line up, civic and patriotic groups here behind | the bill which is now pending and has | been before several previous sessions of | Congress. The principal speaker at the coming mass meeting, who arrived in New York last month, has been occupied with an extensive speaking program in the ! United States and Canada. | Recently he addressed the American | Prison Association's convention at To- | ronto, as well as similar conferences on | penal reform in the Midwestern and! Eastern States. Made Crime Survey. | Mr. Calvert is the author of severai’ authoritative works on prison reform. | He is secretary of the National Council | for the Abolition of the Death Penalty, | with headquarters in London, and has collected and published data on crime | conditions, homicide rates and execu- | tion statistics in virtually every foreign | country. | Mr. Calvert is convinced that the | death penalty is being outlawed in! Europe and. that the death penalty, | generally speaking, is an inheritance of | barbarism and has failed to serve its| principal end—that of a deterrent or| crime. ‘The visitor is planning his American | itinerary so as to permit him as much time as possible to study New York State's penal institutions and criminal law. He is accompanied by his wife, a barrister, who hopes to make a éom- prehensive study of criminal procedure in the United States.
