It happened when a woman in a hobble skirt got off the car while it was In motion, and Warner asked her If aha wanted to get killed. A passenger sitting near the conductor requested him to be more polite.

Warner did not think tha passenger had any right to try to regulate street car affairs Just because he paid 5 cents to ride, and told him so. But Warner was mis taken. The passenger was an official of the Capital Traction Coia-panq. "You report In Georgetown tomor- i ii row lur a icyiiuiauu, iue said. "Not on your life!" Warner said.

DRUG STORE 1 1 1 West Main' St. Boys IS PRISON METHOD REMARKABLE CHANGES IX EFFECT SINCE 1908. Age at Which Responsibility tot Crime Beghn Raised "From 12 to 14 l'eai- Schools for Training of Prison Officials. Washington, Oct. 6.

Remarkable changes in the penal laws and the prison administration of Japan have occurred since the adoption of the new criminal code in Japan in 1908, according to T. Sanagi, commission er of the prison bureau of the Japanese department of justice, ad dressing the International Prison Congress last night. It seems to us cow," said Mr. Sanagi, "as if our old criminal code must have be onged to an entirely different age. "The new criminal code recog nizes fully that the circumstances under wliich similar crimes are.

com mitted differ widely and that tho penalties therefore may properly dif fer. Moreover, the suspension of imprisonment may occur when the sen tence is for not over two years. By the Japanese form of indeterminate sentence a "prisoner may obtain his provisional release at the end of one- third his sentence, and a life pris oner is eligible for tlcket-of-leave at the end of ten years of imprison ment. Furthermore, the cases of the aggravation of penalty for repeated offenses have been diminished. The nu7Uber of persons who commit repeated offenses tends annually co increase.

"In the new Japanese criminal code the age at which responsibility for crime commences has been raised from 12 to 14 years. By our new code the dread of punishment has been augmented. From the standpoint of criminal policy and In view of fthe objects, and principles of the new code, the results so far have been satisfactory. "Impressions of the' finger prints of all prisoners are obtained and kept in a central identification bu reau. There is now segregation of young persons of less than 18 years apart from older prisoners.

Special treatment is given to juvenile delinquents up to the age of 18. Jails must be inspected at least once in two years. Persons afflicted with infectious diseases specified in the con-tagdus dsease law may be refused. The bodies of deceased prisoners may be given for dissection." Speaking of the need for the proper training of prison officials, Mr. Sanagi stated that Japan now maintains two schools for prison officials, one for.

new guards and one for chief The terms of instruction are four months. "The business of a prison Is complicated and and'the term of four is by no -means sufficient for instructing prison officers in all that concerns prison administration. At present the number of Japanese prisons is 119. "Provisional liberation has proved successful. tk'ket-of-lave man must: report monthly while on provisional liberation.

About 9 5. per cent of those liberated do not have to be returned; to- prison during parole. There is no provision by the government released on ticket-of-lcave, but there are fifty-seven private-societies for protecting discharged prisoners. During 1909, 1,717 prisoners obtained assistance at the hands of these societies. "In Japanin 1908, 213,031 persons were admitted to prison.

Theft and gambling are the principal causes of imprisonment, excent minor violations of policy1 regulations. By the largest irumber of sentences are for less than six months. On December 31, 1909, there were 72,457 in mates in Japan prisons. More prisoners die tuberculosa than from any ether disease."

WHY CRIMINALS ARE PUNISHED SEEX REASONS GIVEN BIT NEW YORK PROFESSOR, Era of Using Criminal Statistics for the Making of Penal Laws Is At Hand, Says Professor Kircli-wey of Columbia, Washington, D. Oct. 6. "The era of the use of criminal statistics for the making of penal law 'is at hand," according to Professor Geo. W.

The London Court of Bankruptcy has examined the affairs of "Count" Louis Hamon, palmist, journalist, financier and the former owner of the American Reg ister of Paris. His liabilities were found to be $60000 and his assets io. Hamon is known to many Ameri cans as Cheiro, ihe Palmist. At one time he was sentenced in France to serve a term thirteen months in prison, pay a flni of 500 francs and make restitution to Count Festetics whom, it was alleged, he swindled out of $200,000. He had great Success as a palmist London.

He was discovered by Oscar Wilde, antf when, he went to ivew lork with the names of well- known Englishmen as sponsors and established himself at a prominent hotel he was consulted by hundreds of women. The rich and fashion able had him at their homs for pri vate readings and made him a fea ture of entertainments. He returned to London about sev en years ago richer, it is said, by about $200,000. -Afterward he blossomed out in Paris as "Count Ha mon." From 1905 to 1907 he carried on a financial business under the style of Hamon Co. American cli ents alleged that he had unlawfully retained possession of stock which they had given him to negotiate.

A meeting of his creditors was held in London last" month and it wa3 then stated by the receiver that all the assets he could find wer ten shares of a registered, company of $1 each. SCHOOLS TO BAR PUPILS. Who Have Been' Exposed to Infan tile Paralysis Cases. Washington, Oct. 6.

An order has been made by the Health De partment In Washington excluding from the public schools thoso pupil3 who have been exposed within the last three weeks, to acute cases of infantile paralysis. Such pupils wil be barred for at least fourteen days This action follows the decision, of the recent convention of medical men at Milwaukeehai two weeks exclus ion was necearj in order to insure immunity froifluStb' contasion. The Rockefeller Institute in New York has takers fep the investigation of the disease. A HOVEL INTRODUCTION The Dr. Howard Company have entered into an arrangement with the Brown Pharmacy drug store, by which a special Introductory offer will be made of 2 cents on the 50 cent size of their celebrated specific for the cure of constipation and dyspepsktT- So remarkably, successful ha3 Dr.

Howard's Specific been in curing constipation, dyspepsia and all forms of liver trouble, that The Brown Pharmacy Co. will return the price paid in every case where it does not give relief. The Brown Pharmacy Co. ha3 been able to secure only a limited supply, every one who wishes to be cured of dyspepsia or constipation, should call npon them at onco or send them 25 cents by mail and get GO doses of the best medicine ever made, on this special half price introductory offer, with their person guarantee to re fund the money if the specific does not cure. 7 Before passing any more laws for- bidding such gentle pastimes as prize fighting and foot ball, wouldn't it be I a good idea for the zealous reform-1 ers of the country to divert their I energies to motor racing and fancy stunts in aviation.

With Barney Oldfleld refusing to race back east because of the reckless disregard for human life of racing officials, and some hair brained sky pilot an- nouncing that he is going to go up Italf mile or more and then try to a flip flop before alighting, it eeercs to be time for some one to Set busy. TAFT'S GOOD WORK. Under tho captlan of "Progress of the World," the Review of Reviews pays a handsome compliment to the administration of President Taft. Among the commendable acts enu derated are the following: "It has been taking the census rapidly and accurately without scan dal and without taint of politics or cpoil3. It has managed to turn the board of tariff advisers into a real tariff commission and is already lay iiig the foundations for a proper fu tare tariff revision.

It has named a highly qualified commission to re port upon the best way to regulate the Issue of railroad stocks and bonds. It has Inaugurated the new bureau of mines in a way to save many live and protect the public welfare.
