. c.-.~......._.....,... cam: in ENGLAND What Statistics show on the Matt» of Hanging ‘ if the death penalty is a deterrent of crime, murders would be snacking!!- isms in England. For 600 years she meted out the death penalty for al- most any crime. Men and women have been hanged for cutting down a tree, for draining a fishpond, for killing a bird'.‘ For burning coal in the limits of the City of London ’one man was hanged under Edward I. In Elizabeth’s reign thirteen were hang- ed after one assize. for consorting with gypsies. Fewer than one hundred years years ago there were 222 capital crimesrin England. Not until the hor- rible execution of Mary Jones in 1803 for shoplifting was the public con- science awakened to the terrible cruelty of the law, and the death penalty was abolished for this of- fence. In 1830 there was but one capital crime in England, murder; but three more were added when the present code was adopted in 1861. One result of the savage code that existed in 1820 was that juries re- fused to convict. At one time it was a hanging matter to steal linen, but the Irish linen manufacturers be: sought Parliament to abolish 'the penalty because it ,was impossible to secure convictions against the thieves. The same reluctance to convict in capital cases remains now. For in- stance, in 1891 England secured con- victions in 76 per'cent. of its non- capital cases and in only 33 per cent. of capital cases. In the last ten years Holland, with no capital punishment. secured convictions in 28 out of 35 homicide cases; and Belgium had 101 convictions in 132 cases. in 1911 Lon-’ don convicted only six in 22 murdcr cases, and in the same year New York convicted only 13 out of 148. “PLOUGHING BY WlFE” A Farmer Whose Second Wife Was ’ His Waterloo Late Choate, a Missouri farmer, who . a couple of years ago became famous or infamous. “when it was disclosed in the Divorce Court that he hitched his wife with a pair of mules and made her help to plough, has married fagain, and according to the news- papers at Liberty, Missouri, he has. found a Tartar, or at least a wife who ‘isknot 'to be imposed upon. The second Mrs. Choate was not familiar with the “ploughing by wife" incident, but she was soon informed‘of it by her neighbors, and promptly put her foot down. Being a woman of 170 pounds, it did not take her long to persuade Late that she was of dif- ferent calibre from his first wife, and was not to be driven or whipped like a. horse. She intimated that it he did; not behave he would himself be har- nessed up with the mules and made to plough. According to the news. papers, which joyousiy record these. and other interesting particulars, "Late got good instanter," and is now, a, very Ordinary henpecked husband. Locomotives For Denmark‘ Great efforts are being made in .- Denmark to render the country in- dependent or foreign locomotive bunch era, and in connection with this it is ' announced that the Danish State rail~ way authorities have just placed a contract with the Eniohx, Aktieselskab, not; Aarhus,» for; the supply of severest Engines. The. Danish. demand is, however, relatively,» so. small, says Scientific. Amenican, that any home, concern is likely to. experience much dimouity in competing on equal terms with the huge locomotive building; undertakings in. Germany.
