MICHIGAN’S CRIME
; CODE TO BE FOUGHT

• LANSING. Mich.. November 3
The new State criminal code that re
quire* a life sentence for any person
convicted of a fourth felony probably
will he subjected to attack in the next
Legislature if it is upheld by the
; courts
‘ Commenting on announcement that
.an appeal will be taken in the case of
•Fred Palm of Lansing, who was sen
tenced to life imprisonment when he
pleaded guilty to possession of a pint
of liquor. State Senator Seymour Per
son of Lansing announced he would
reek to have the new code amended so
the life sentence could be given in the
discretion of the court. He snid there
also might be an effort to limit the
life-sentence provision to major felo
nies.
Upheld by Governor.
Gov. Fred W. Green. In upholding
the law. declared it was unfortunate
that Palm's fourtli conviction was
hased upon the possession of a small
amount of liquor, because this fact
had induced perhaps unwarranted
sympathy from persons disagreeing
with the classification of such an of
fense as a felony.
He said Palm's sentence to life im
prisonment was not for this offense,
but because he had behind him a
string of serious offenses, which
caused him to be adjudged an habitual
criminal
Case to Be Contested.
Harry F. Hittle. Lansing attorney,
has been retained to carry the Palm
case to the State Supreme Court. He
expects Louis A. CuvilUer. New York
Assemblyman and counsel for the Na
tional Constitutional Liberty league,
to arrive here Saturday to co operate
with him.
Announcement recently was made
that a life term might be sought in
the case of Mrs. Martha Byrne, or
■Helen Brennan, as she was listed in
the police records. Mrs. Byrne, moth
er of six children, was arrested in De
troit recently on a pickpocket charge
and. according to the police, has been
Involved in a score of similar charges
throughout the United States and

OTTAWA. November 3.—An
appeal to the League of Nation*
to set aside a day of prayer for
“the redemption” of Chicago was
suggested yesterday in a telegram
to the prime minister from a Ca
nadian roused by Mayor William
Thopmson’s anti-British crusade.
The telegram, signed by John
Wallace, a citizen of Hamilton,
Ontario, petitioned the prime min
ister to:
“Kindly instruct the Canadian
representative at Geneva to appeal
to the League of Nations to re
quest the civilized world to set
aside the first Sunday in December
as a day of prayer for the redemp*
tion bf Chicago.”
that America dispense with celebrat
ing the Fourth of July and substitute
for it Magna Charta day.
Miss Rosalie Didier, school teacher,
testified that patriotism was no longer
taught in the schools.
“We are instructed to teach only
civics and citizenship. The school
children cannot even sing patriotic
songs,” she declared.
Miss Mary E. Lynch, another
teacher, told how pictures of the Bos
ton Tea Tarty and the Spirit of '76
had been removed from the classroom.
The trial was continued until No
