A charge was made in the Senate yesterday by Senator Tydings (Demo- crat, Maryland) that the Hawaiian Legislation has “thwarted the will of the people of Honolulu” by abolishing offices which they had filled by elections Tydings said the situation was re- sponsible for crime conditions which culminated in an assault on the wife of Lieut. Ther s Massie and the arrest of four Americans, including Massie and his mothe -in-law, after cne of the alleged attaci-rs had been killed Tydings ravocated changes in the organic law of the Territory to protect the people of Honol The Maryland Senator eaid he was informed the delegates from the “out- ands” control the territorial | The plantations are very large” he said, “and a small group of men can handpick the members of the Legisla- ture. Chairman Bingham (Republican, Connecticut) of the Senate Territories Committee, said he was confident new legislation enacted by the territorial Legislature would “meect the situation there to a considerable degree.” Senator McKellar (Democrat, Ten- nessee), however, presented telegrams from citizens of Hawaii asserting that the Legislature's action did not go far enough. RECAPTURE CLAUSE HIT BY RAIL COUNSEL Repeal Proposed at I. C. C. Hearing Valuation as Basis for Rate- Making Assailed. B the Associated Press Repeal of the recapture clause of the interstate commerce act was urged yes- terday by Alfred P. Thom of this city general counsel of the Association of Railway Executives Before the House Interstate Com- merce Committee, Thom said the pro- vicion under which the Government takes over all earnings in excecs of 53 per cent has been found impracticable The Government, he said, has €40,000,000 and 37,000, 000, or & total of in seek- ing a valuation of the railroads. He declared that as long as the recapture clause is in force the valuation never weuld be completed Thom maintained valuation of rail- roads should not be used as the basis for rate-making. Instead, he asserted it should be on the basis of economic conditions and the movement of traffic Giving a free hand to the Interstate Commerce Commission to make rates with Congress insisting only on adequate public eervice, was urged by the rail- road counsel DARROW WOULD CRIMINAL COURT PROCEEDINGS Famous Defender Would Substitute Mental Experts for Judgcs and Juries and Hospitals By the Associated Press. | NEW YORK, February 6.—If Clar- | ence Darrow could have his way he| would tear down all jails, strip judges | and juries of their power and abolish all criminal court proceedings. | Instead of punishing those guilty of crime he would have their mental con- dition, their environment and their past studied by experts, who then would de- cide whether they should be set free, sent to a hospital or kept under super- vision until they “became normal again.” Darrow's sweeping condemnation of the present system of fighting crime is contained in his autobiography, “The Story of My Life,” which was published day. trange experiences the famous lawyer had during his half century in courts from one side of the country to the other are recounted. Tells of Loeb and Leopold. In a chapter on the Loeb-Leopold ase, one of the most celebrated he fought, he says Nathan Leopold “had and has the most brilliant intellect I ever met in a boy.” Richard Loeb, he writes, “was not only a kindly-looking boy, but he was and is a kindly boy.” He calls the murder they committed “the most foolish, most motiveless act ever conceived in a diseased brain.” He presumes the slayers “know less about the reason than those who have studied the case and the boys as well." He tried to save the youthful pair from the gallows, Darrow writes, “to do at 1 could for sanity and humanity, against the wave of hatred and malice that, as ever, was masquerading under its usual nom de plume, ‘justice.’ ‘In a terrible crisis there is only one element more helpless than the poor and that is the rich. I knew then, and I know now, that except for the wealth of the familles, a plea of yuilty and a iife sentence would have been accepted without a contest. I knew this and I dreaded the fight. Strongly Against Killing. “No client of mine had ever been put to death (a record still unbroken) and I felt that it would almost. if not cuite, kill me if it should ever happen. I have never been able to read a story of an execution. I alwuys left town if possible on the day of a hanging. Iam strongly—call it morbidly, if you will— against killing “I felt 1 would get a fair fee if T went into the case, but moncy never influenced my stand one way or another.” Some of Darrow's comment on the American system of jurisprudence are There is no more =xcuse today for indicting and trying a person in a criminal court than ihcre ‘is for hang- ing_him for being ) “Every crimiral where the object of the pack i the prey.” It is a game where the cice are loaded and the victim is almost sure to lose.

He characterized Eugene V. Debs the most kindly, gentle, brave and generous man he ever met At 75, he writes, one of his firmest convictions is that “the most satisfac- tory part of life is the time spent in! sleep.” In discussing his trial for jury brib- ing in California, Darrow says when things looked blackest and his funds had been exhausted in fighting to prove | his innocence, he received a check for $1,200 from a total stranger, Frederick M. Gardner, who wrote: Might Be Dry Agent. “T hear you have spent most of your | life defending men for nothing and | that you are now broke.” : Dartow continues i “Mr. Gardner has been twice elected | 1 have always hoped he might be elected President of | the United States. This is not because | I want an office; I would hardly take | any position until it was very, very| important and worth while—like a pro- | hibition agent, for instance.” } The famous lawyer describes Frank | Murphy, who presided at one of his| murder trials in Detroit and later be- | came mayor of that city, as “the kind- | liest, most understanding man 1 ever | met on the bench PRESBYTERIA.NS URGED TO CONTRIBUTE MILLION Emergency .
