These two productions are probably bigger than any of the screen dramas shown in this city in many la day. “The Sins of the Mother” is a = pie- turization of a $1,000 prize story and is one of ‘the most widely known screen dramas produced in a year. Tt has been the talk of the entire coun- { try for many months and while the ! price of admission is usually increased in theaters where it is offered, crowd- ed houses are invariably the rule.

Naturally, there will be, a crowd on hund. in the New oYrk and New Haven vards to see the show coume rolling in- 16 town, to watch the unloading of the cars, to catch glimpses of the fanci- fully attired Wild West people, a'nd, incidentally, to rubber for a first view of the cowboy champion, who travels in his own private car, the “Jess Wil- lard,” with his wife ana = company of well known sparrers. This early niorning visit to the rail- roads is always an interesting incident of the coming of a big show, and this interest does not end with the unload- ing of the cars, When the Wild West eople, who always rice their own orses to the grounds, start for the VVildl West camp the crowd invariably fellows, and it is well repaid, for the scenes incident to the erection of the tents are full of color and actlon. The mammoth arena, the horse tents, the cook and dining pavillions, where the hundreds of Wild West people are fed; the Indian village—all have their pe- cular attraction for the crowd.

(By Henrietta Rodman In New York Tribune.) “Now is the time,” says Miss Kath- erine Leckie, “when the nauseating details of Becker’'s énd strike the ear cverywhere to ask the questions. “Is capital punishment a cruel sur- vival of an ancient barbarism ? “Does ‘legal murder by the state tend to tear down the very respect for human life which we are attempt- ing to build up, and rather incite to than prevent crime? “l think,” said Miss Leckie, with the passionate certainty of her many years of opposition to any form, war cr capital punishment, or life taking, “that state murder of a man is a eccial horror. “The right to inflict an irreparable punishment implies infallible judge- ment when an innocent man is ex- ecuted and the state is gutlty of an cffence against its members which cannot be redressed. The Murdered Innocents, It is estimated that forty persons have been executed in Great Britain within the last hundred years for of- fences they did net eemmit. The Acutal Facts. “Ive known many murdereds,” said Miss Leckie, “when I was a reporter. They all seemed to belong to one of two classes—there were those who were apparently hopeless aegenerates, “They had never had a chance to live decently from birth. To punish them was only-to aid one more stroke ot cruelty to”all that nature had in- flicted. Of course society must be protected against them, out so must it against the insane, and we don't execute them, “Most of the men I knew just seem- ed to me to have been badly brought up, very, very badly, to a terrible selfishness, but they mnever seemed incurable, the men of this class. 1T feel quité sure they could be brought into right relations with society, so that the good that was ip them need not be wasted. Waste “It is such a horrible waste to kill a man—to destroy all the good in him with the bad—all the strength, cour- age and resourcefulness, all the loy- alty and tremendous to those he loves. “Of course criminal selfishness ought to be destroyed. But we don't execute the people whose selfishness causes the greatest misery, and many, we value too highly the good that is in them. “Isn’t it time that we should find a more cffective way to deal with the ecnemies of society than by killing them? People are so strongly spposed to the death penalty that it is almost impossible to get juries to conviet for murder in the first degree. They wel- come the faintest shadow of doubt Q{ a possibiity of justification. 1 “AS a matter of fact there are con- victions of only 17 per cent of the trials for murder in Massachusetts, and 13 per cent in Connecticut. While iu Rhode Island, where the death penalty was abolished after an in- necént man was hanged, four times as many convictions for murdér are secured as in Massachusetts and Con- necticut. That is to say, a munderer has a far better chance to eseape un. punished in states whicn retain th Ceath penalty. This may be the rea- €on the number of murders decreased ‘Wwheén the death penalty was abélished in Michigan and in Holland. “The shock of an exceution is %o painful to all of us; the thought that we 25 citizens have Been responsible for killing a man—the cold-blooded brutality is so hideous that T can'f understand why we endure it any longer. “We have outgrown the idea of ven- geance, We've outgrown torture, we've abolished the death penalty for such Moseaic offenses as eating leaven- ed bread during the Passover, and for 159 other offenses which were punish- ¢d by death in Engind in the seven- = teenth” century. p* “The death penalty ror murder his been abolished in several states and the number of murdery nas nowidre been increased. “It is for Nw York to met.” Up to the Constitutional Convention, Bishop Greer, Rabbi Wise, Rahbl Goldstein.
