Canadian Merchants Are Disposed : To Discount It. St. Catharines, Sept. 16.--There is a disposition among the mer- chants of this city to refuse to take United States money at par, owing to the tremendous flood of it in the last few weeks. It is felt that if a discount is placed upon the United States currency, matching the action of United States merchants not so long ago, it will have the effect of Happy Thought Quebec Heaters.

Fyecial THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG -- -- THE DEATH PENALTY AS CURB FOR CRIME The Illinois Legislature Ex- pects Question Will Ani- mate Winter Session. Chicago, Sept. 16.--Is the death penalty a deterrent to murder and a protection to society? Much argument over this is likely to enliven the lpgislature at Spring- field this comifg winter. The ques- tion becomes acute as a result of the judge's decision in the Loeb-Leo- pold case. In the last 10 years, five states abolished the death penalty and then restored it. The general reason was that crime had increased. 'Arizona abolished the gallows as maximum penalty for murder in 1916, and restored it in 1918. Missouri abolished the death pen- alty in 1917 and restored it in 1919. The homicide rate had increased from 91 for each million population to 103. Oregon abolished capital punish- ment in 1914, gestored it in 1921. Washington took the death 'pen- alty off in 1918 and put it back in 1919, largely due to deeds of vio- lence by the "wobbifes." Tennesséé abandoned capital pun- ishment in 1915, and established it in 1917, War Blamed for Crime. Sentimentalists, humanitarians and others, who oppose the death! penalty argue that the increase In crime, which impelled these states to put the gibbet back into the list of penalties was due to thé war and that it was country-wide. 1t does not alter the fact that after the try- out, sentiment in these five states changed and the death penalty was regarded as a protection of the social interests. At least three other staies abol- ished and restored capital punish- ment three years before the war, and the crime wave that trailed it. Towa in 1872 got rid of the death penalty. But six years later that state restored it by allowing juries to fix punishment for murder, which | is either death or imprisonment for life. A MAN LIGHTS HIS OWN FUNERAL PYRE In a Cemetery -- Mourners Rescue Him After a Desperate Battle.

He had piled them almost to his knees and then tore up a newspaper and poked it into and underneath the brush Then, leaning over, 80 as to avoid upset- ting his funeral pyre, he took from a small satchel a quart bottle of kerosene, which he emptied over his head.
