Capital P
Boston, Mass., Aug. 26.?Oovornor
Edward F. Dunne, of Illinois, ad
dressed the conference of governors i
today In favor of the abolition of cap
ital punishment, which he pronounc
ed, "wrong in theory and in act." He
sakl the principal argument advanc
ed by the ' supporters of capital pun
ishment was that it acted as a crime 1
deterrent but. he doubted that It ever
bad deterred or that it now deterred.
He cited a number of Incidents from
history to show that even In tho dayw'j
when penalties inflicted for crime j
were moat severe the extreme meas
ures taken failed to suppress crime.
Cmilng down to the present day he
said:
"I am not going to attempt to sup
port my arguments by elaborate quo
tations from (statistics. There are
certain figures, however, which are
rather significant, if not conclusive.
I refer to the statistics of the Fed
eral Census bureau of 1910, with re
ference to the effect of the death 1
penalty upon the commission of mur- |
der. These statistics show that in
tw~nty-ono of tho states having the!
highest number of homicides per capi
ta la the population, there is not a
single state that has abolished cap
Hal punishment. TheBe twent\:-ohe
are those which have enforced the
death penalty from the time of their
organisation. Following these twon
ty-ono states come three states, IUI-]
no!s, Maryland and Kansas, all hav
ing: tile same three states, Illinois, ]
Maryland and Kansas, all baying the
same number per capita of . Homicides.
Of these states, Kansas has abolish
ed the death penalty. Illinois rind
Maryland*, havo retained it.
''Let us now consider the twenty
states which these statistics show to
have tho lowest number of homlclde.i
per capita. Among these twenty are
all the states but ono (Kansas)- tha:
have abolished capital punishment.
Th? federal statistics, to my mind,
show that capital punishment has
failed' to act as a deterrent, and that
In the states where it has been abol
ished, there is a less pr capita of
homicides than in the states where it
has been retained.
"Up to 1913. six Btstos hod abolish
ed capital punishment, _ Washington
followed in that year. ' The United
States statistics of 1910, show thr.t five
of theno are among the twenty with
the lowest per capita of homicides,
each with a percentage lc9s than .08
in each 10,000 of population. The
other n?n-copltal punlshmeut state-'?
K an sas?had the Mine per capita of
homicides as Illinois and Maryland,
both capital punishment states.
"TilinotA was disgraced by ?fil hom
icides in 1910. after a century of en
forcement of cnoltal popish ment,
which in Wisconsin, where It had bees
abolished, the homicides have not
been much over fifty per cent, per
capita, of those committed in Illinois.
"Christianity loug. ago revoked the j
doctMne of a tooth for a tooth, and an
eye foi an eye. Christ p?-ayed the !
Father, as H^ sow tbo tnlo'f hnnirlng

dreds or thousands of them, even the
massacre of their young, would not
decrease the crime that springs from1
the slums and the tenements, so long
as the slums remain under the tol
erance of an intelligent society.
"Another evidence that execution is
not effective is afforded in the records
of lynchings and mob violence.
Whether these have occurred in. the
North or In the South, they have not'
had any appreciable Influence in re

Several Notable Title? Will Be
come Extinct Because Heb*?
Have Fallen in Trenches.
London, Aug. 24.?(Associated!
Press Correspondence.)?The casant*,!
ty lists of the British army have
already, after a little more than- a i
year of war, brought hundreds of
changes In the British peerage, Many
heirs of great titles have fallen, and
In numerous cases the next hair is
now'in the trenches. 8?v??r?! cet-,
able .titles will become extinct as tho !
result of tho death of the sole legal
heir.
The changes wrought in the peer- j
age by the death roll call into promt- j
nence the complications and anomo-1
lies ot the laws of succession, and,
it is possible that legislative action j
may be taken to straighten out some!
of the kinks which would wipe out
titles long cherished as national mem
orials, or which would cause them
to pass to some obscure relative
without.the shadow ota just.claim to
ennoblement.
As the law stauds, succession is
limited 'to direct male descendants,
whp may be as far removed from the
last holder of a title as a grandson
of a paternal uncle. Daughters have
no claim whatever except by special
act of the king, as In the case of
Lord Roberts.
The following is a list of some of
the more notable deaths of officers
who were bel re to peerages, and the
effect their deaths will have on the
title:

of wounds, wan solo heir to the Mar- j
qulsat? of Lincolnshire, a title con
