No provision is made for salary for the head of the bureau in the new budget. Failure of the prosecutors to present evidence that Beicastro was guilty of gun toting, that he had a criminal record, that he was a bomber, or, as charged in the complaint, that he was an idle.

After listening patiently, practically the whole day. to evidence introduced, and some fiftten police officers' testimony," Judge Green said, it is peculiar to me that not one officer testified the defendant was a gunman, a public enemy. a vagrant or an idle and dissolute person.

---(A)--The Goddess Pe le is angry, old Hawaiians say, because a Portuguese youth slew his sweetheart and leaped with her body into the firepit of Kilauea volcano, which is the goddess' traditional home. Natives construe the tidal waves which swept the mouth of the Wailoa river and lower Kuhl() bay yesterday as an omen that Pe le resents having two lifeless mortals at the threshold of her fiery kingdom. They expressed fear that the tragedy which ended the lives of Sylvester Nunes, 20, and Margaret Enos, 17, may lead to some dire calamity. Nunes leaped into the crater Wednesday with the body of the girl who had spurned his love. The bodies have been located on a hillock 900 feet below the rim of the deep firepit and only 50 feet from the restless molten lava smouldering at the bottom of the crater.

There has been talk of recovering the bodies, but just how to reach them remains an unsolved probl2m. taken as an Indication, Col. Henry Barrett Chamberlin, director of the Crime commission revealed yesterday. 130 Murders So Far. Other large cities in addition to Washington, D.

Chamberlin pointed out. The usual average in the county for many years has been at least one murder a day. The eMcacy of capital punishment as a deterrent to murders was proved by Col.

Chamberlin in statistics be cited. Back in 1919, be said, murder was a frequent occurrence in Chicago. The Crime commission started a drive against murder and succeeded in having four Criminal court judges appointed to bear murder cases alone. Hangings Stop Killings. As a result there were eight hangings in 1920 and 10 hangings in 1921.

Those 18 hangings sent the murder total to record lows for all time. slash-ling the number in those two years to one-third the usual total. There was only one hanging in 1922 and one banging in 1923, with the result that the total of murders immediately rose to the former average. In the last four years, the number of executions for murder has been slightly above the average. taken as an Col.

31 No. State St. STH FLOOR Manufacturing Retailers I Subscribe for The Tribune The Tribune George D. Carbery. Kane county state's attorney, declnred 3-esterday that in his judgment John E.

Mellish, astronomer and telescope builder of St. Charles, who was indicted nine months ago for ravishing a 15 year old girl, should be In prison. Mr. Carbary said he was maintaining this attitude, despite the pleas of scientists who believe Mellish should be spared imprisonment In order to go on with his work, and of the Kane county Judge and sheriff. who permit the astronomer to leave the jail for his laboratory at St.

Charles each day. "Should Pay Penalty." "We have irrefutable evidence and a virtual admission of guilt from Mellish," the prosecutor said. "I think he should be made to pay the full penalty. But every time the case is called In court a continuance is ordered." Other Kane county authorities concerned in the case are considering sterilization of Mellish as a solution of the problem 'which his indictment has raised. it was learned.

County Judge Olney C. Allen of Geneva, In whose court the astronomer's eight children are wards, said sterilization was suggested by psychiatrists of the Elgin state hospital. The psychiatrists, upon examining Mellish, pronounced him a genius and discovered that he was a victim of an unusual disease. Discussed With Astronomer. The matter has been considered by Judge Allen.

Circuit Judge John K. Newhall, before whome the criminal case against Mellish is pending. and Leonard Mead, Geneva attorney. appointed by the court to defend him. The lawyer Is understood to have broached the proposal to the astronomer, who Is said to have expressed no aversion to such an operation.

For seven of the nine months since his arrest Mellish has been permitted by Sheriff Harry A. Crawford to go back and forth daily from the jail at Geneva to his laboratory at St. Charles to continue work on telescopes and lenses. Out of his earnings Mellish has been contributing Z55 monthly to support of his children. Like Present Arrangement.

"The arrangement seems to be sat. isfactory," Judge Newhall said. Mel1.sh has been able to go on with his work. The blow which the scientists claim astronomy would suffer by his Imprisonment has been averted and the state has been relieved of the burden of caring for his children. Perhaps, if Mellish will submit to sterilization, a disposition of the case may be made.

He might be sentenced and the nights he ha spent in the county jail might apply on his term of imprisonment." Scientists who have interceded for Mellish Include Prof. Edwin B. Frost, director of Yerkes observatory of the University of Chicago: Dr. Storrs D. Barrett, associate professor of astrophysics, University of Chicago, and Dr.

F. A. Firestone, professor of physics. University of Michigan. Scientists of Northwestern university and the University of Southern California are also reported to have pleaded on the astronomer's behalf.
