Germans to Agitate For Humane Police Methods. Berlin, Dec. 20.-William Voigt has every prospect of having his name handed down in history not only as the brilliant raider of Koepenick, but also as the pioneer of pew humane legislation abolishing the present sys. tem of police supervision of discharg od prisoners The "revelations at his trial of the extraordinary persecution which he endured, despite the fact that he sys- tomatically endeavored to resume an honest carcer, have aroused a storm of public" indignation and stimulated a strong popular appeal for the aboli- tion or, at least, radical reform of a system which is universally acknowl. edged to be barbarous and unworthy of a civilized country. The national liberal party, which, in spite of its name, is really con servative, has taken up the matter, and will introduce an interpellation in the reichstag at an early date to demand a pledge from the govern ment to introduce a bill reforming thd present system.
