iWATERBURY EVENING DEMOCRAT, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28. 1908. 13 AT Employee Suggests That One Is Needed In Canal. Zone. TWO MEASURES ADVOCATED. On of th Worksrs, Living In Bsohs lor Quarter, - Wants Protection Against the - Convivial Among Hia Number Views of a Daring Dls- . Banter. Bacholors employed by the Isthmian anal commission and living In the ca nal tone, at Panama, are debating heatedly whether they need a curfew law for protection against the bibu lous and convivial among their num ber. The suggestion that a curfew, law be established for night roaming bach elors ou the Isthmus came from one of the employees living In bachelors' quarters, says a Washington special correspondent of the New York Post The trouble began when this employee, who Is stationed at Paralso, taking ad vantage of the canal commission's in vitation for suggestions looking to the betterment of the service, made these two: First. The establishment of a curfew hour, not later than 10 o'clock In the evening, when fights In bachelors' quar ters should be extinguished. 1 Second. The absolute prohibition of the practice of bringing liquor Into quarters. The employee added Ingenuously In making the second suggestion that he did not know whether It was against the present regulations to have liquor In bachelors' quarters, "but If not It should be." In advocating these two measures "for the uplift" the employee urged these reasons; There are many employees of the com mission whose duties are both, arduous and exacting, and at the end of the day's labor they are In actual need of undis turbed rest to fit them for the duties of the morrow. When this is denied them through the action of various roisterers who periodically make their quarters an assembly of brawlers whom a respecta ble (?) saloon keeper would not tolerate (the writer Is aware that whosoever t this shoe pinches will be the loudest in denunciation of him), It Is evident that the service given to the Isthmian canal commission by all who come within the aone of their disturbing; Influence Is not and cannot be as efficient as it should be.- For the benefit of dipsomaniacs who will Indulge In stimulants regardless of detriment to personal health, and the writer would not deny them their "rights" in this respeot. It might be well to estab lish canteens in the various towns with "boozing ken" attachments, where their orgies could be Indulged In without dis turbing those who have no desire to take Iart In them and who have "rights" which should be respected. The response was Instantaneous and Yivaclous. An employee at Culebra heartily Indorsed the plan, but sug- gnted that the curfew should not be rung until H o'clock, "Eleven o'clock would suit everybody better than 10 p. m., because those who attend T. M. ' C. A. classes, tournaments, entertain ments, lodge meetings and more Inti mate rendezvous would be put to a great deal of Inconvenience if not al lowed to turn on lights on "retiring. One seldom thinks of the hordes of canal employees returning nightly In throngs from Y. M. C. A. classes. The Culebra employee wasn't so sure about the advisability of the second suggestion, lie thought It would re quire the presence of a gone police man to keep the bachelors from bring ing whisky Into their quarters, but he added, "It Is to be deplored, to be sure, that orgies are sometimes In dulged in by a coterie of friends, such practice being, I am sure, against the existing rules of. the commission. The habitual drinking of some of the men makes It also very disagree able for ' their roommates especially, but such a practice. In my estimation, cannot be regulated or stopped, what ever means the officials may employ, Another employee at Empire, who is ! evidently a sociologist a vegetarian, a disciple of Bernard Shaw and a be liever In a paternal form of govern ment at once declared his willingness to go to bed when curfew tolled the knell of parting day. He thinks It would be perfectly lovely If the em ployees could be made to eat legumes by official order Instead of meat Andrew Bcarup, a locomotive en gineer. Is the only dissenter who has expressed himself publicly. He Is full of wrath. In blistering words he seeks to dispel the Idea "that the bachelor population of Taralso consists of In ebriates and rowdies." Bearup says that be has been a resident of raralso for eight months and has not seen a drunken or disorderly person In that station In all that tune. He suggests to the employee who advanced the cur few plan that If his duties "be so ar duous that it Is necessary for him to retire with the chickens that he may recuperate his energies for the morrow I believe that it would be policy for htm to migrate to some other climate, as he certainly cannot be In perfect health. As for taps of cnrfew, I will say that the majority of us are more than twenty-one years of age and ttave been severed from oar mothers' pron strings a sufficient length of time to know when we wish to retire.'

Therefore a Missouri Clergyman Seeks Monopoly For Preachers, The Rev. Thomas G. Pool of Macon, Mo., wants the general assembly of Missouri to pass a law prohibiting anybody but a preacher from marry ing people, "Matrimony Is not a Joke," said Mr. Pool. "It Is a Serious proposition. There is something Incongruous in making a business out of marrying people. "Nearly every day we hear about come enterprising Justice who hunts trade by giving prizes with every cere, mony, and there are Instances where some have employed assistants to drum op business, dividing the pro ceeds with the capper. One man of fers a spoon, another announces that he will give a honeymoon chair, and I remember reading about one newly elected officer who aspired to control the business offering to meet the par ty at the depot with a hack, take 'em around to a studio to be photographed and then marry them to the strains of a wedding march played on a grapho phone. "It puts one In mind of the barkers at a carnival; 'Walk right up, gentle men and ladles, and get married while you wait!

But what about the sacredness of It? Where's the prayer that should by right be an important part In every real celebration of those most solemn vows?" . C0LLARLESS COAT FOR MEN. Designer Tells of New Garment to Be Worn Next 8ummer. The collarless coat is to be a correct style In men's attire for the coming spring and summer. Waistcoats with out backs will be worn also, accord ing to the designer for a downtown tai loring firm In Kansas City. "The coat without a collar Is an ideal garment for warm weather," said the designer to a reporter of the Kansas City Star. "It Is especially adaptable for the office man who doesn't care to remove his coat In business hours. The absence of a lapel from around the neck and shoulders makes the coat much lighter. It does away with the double thickness of the cloth. How ever, the coat Is not for office use only. When made up In outing flannel it is extremely nobby "A waistcoat that has 'loop arm- holes and Is connected across the back by a two Inch strap Is among the Inno vations for the season. This garment like the collarless coat Is designed pri marily 'for coolness. The strap across j the back Is of thin material and will hardly be felt The 'loops' for the arms are of the same material as tho strap and will not add much weight The waistcoat goes with the collarless coat" Grip Germs From Mart? Interpolated In his predictions for February, John C. Busby, a weather prophet of Independence, la, advances a theory to explain the presence of the grip germ. The native habitat of the germ, he says, is . the planet Mars, which Is now very near to the earth, and the germs have leaped through the intervening space. He believes that Mars Is Inhabited by human beings like ourselves,, who. he would infer. have suffered recurrent attacks of the prevailing malady for years. , Institute to Benefit Workmen.

Harvard Psychologist Would Measure by Galvanometer Amount of Mental Excitement Prisoner on Trial Dis- played Claims List of Hundred Words) Also 8urs Detective Method. Professor Hugo Muensterberg of Harvard university advanced two new and startling theories for the detec tion of criminals by psychological methods in an address on "Psychology and Crime" at the City club in Chi cago the other afternoon. The first was to measure the resist ance of the body to an electric cur - rent to determine the subtlest varla- tlons of mental excitement This might be used to tell if a man Is lying. The second might be described as "catch ing a criminal with a list of 100 words." "The mere fact that a suspect shows excitement when be Is being question ed may mean nothing, especially as long as we cannot tell whether the excitement Is due to the crime or the strain of the criminal procedure." said , Professor Muensterberg. "But If be becomes excited suddenly, when tho name of a bidden accomplice or the location of the crime is mentioned, this ought to have considerable value. To determine the existence of such men tal excitement we have in the past depended on Instruments to measure the acceleration of the pulse or quick er breathing or muscular twitching. But these are comparatively crude, and with a new method we can determine the most subtle mental excitement so slight that none of these instru ments would note it This Is by means of a galvanometer, which measures the body's resistance to an electric current passing through it I have determined that the sweat glands In the skin are under the influence of the emotions, and so by placing the elec trodes in the hands of the person to be examined the resistance .of the skin to the current will betray even the slightest emotional changes. 4The courts so far have had little to do with psychologists, and the furthest psychology has been applied In any of them is to refuse to trust the optical Impressions of a witness who Is totally blind or1 the acoustic reports of an ab solutely deaf man. The subject of variations of memory has had no place in criminal procedure. Even an oath means nothing In this way, for I have found by experiments that the subjec tive feeling of ' intensified memory which it seems to encourage In no way makes a witness safe from the tricks : of the memory. Hypnotism has fig ured In tho courts, but the popular lni- ! nrpRHlnn hn an lmilfll hwn wrnnir. No n" can be hypnotized into com- i nutting a crime. mittlng a crime. An Interesting way of detecting crime might be known as the 'associa tion of ideas method.' Every time a word is spoken the hearer at onco asso ciates some, other Idea with It I say 'door;' you think of 'house' or "room' or whatever other notion flits first Into your bead. To show you how this will work In the detection of crime, let me tell you of an experience I had. A suspect had been brought to me for a psychological test He was perfectly frank and said he did not even know why he should be suspected of anything wrong. I re peated to him a list of 100 common words and asked him to name the first thing that occurred to his mind In connection with each word. Then I noted the length of time It took him to answer by means of a stop watch. Out of the 100 words he replied to ninety four with normal swiftness, between three-fifths and one and one-quarter seconds. "But there were six words at which his mind halted for more than two and a half seconds. He did not know that he took longer to answer to these words, nor did he know that I noticed It But the words were 'money,' "bank,' check,' forger,' prison,' theft' Fu- ture criminal proceedings were tbe re sult of this test "I have found that any man who has committed a crime always keeps In the background of his mind the memory of that crime as an Idea he wants to I suppress. When anything Is suggest ' ed which In any way Is connected with i the Idea he Is trying to suppress, his mind becomes confused and slow, or It may become unduly excited, and he msy blurt out a word suggested only because or tbe crime. "Such a test Is one against which no shrewdness of tbe witness and no skill of his lawyer can protect a sus pect The more he tries to guard him self the more certain he Is to betray himself. "Bat psychology has no standing In tbe courts at present and with some r th- .mm. .k kmI I do not think It Is looking for mora of them. The only wsy that any psychologist ever wants to be aa ex pert In court Is to be entirely under the Jurisdiction of tbe court and not employed by either side. We sre not handwriting experts.''

Hoke Smith of Georgia was suggest ed as a candidate for the presidency on the Prohibition ticket the other night by Mlrabeau L. Towns at the dinner of the Southern society In New York. Over each table was a gayly colored I lantern bearing the nickname of the state to which the guests seated there j belonged. The Georgia contingent gathered under "Crackers," those from North Carolina had "Tar Heels" above them, while the Mississippi ' guests were designated as "Mossbacks." Mr. Towns responded to the toast "Georgia." He was telling of the glo ries of the Empire State of the South, of her great resources, her splendid history, and when he spoke of her men as "brave, staid and sober" he was In- : terrupted with the laughter of the diners. "That's so," he said. "They are cer tainly sober down there now since they have prohibition. Why, Hoke Smith was elected governor of the state ' J! ITi E state for two years. And these pro hibitionists, who are becoming so plen tiful in this country, are going to make him their leader. With Bryan and Roosevelt running out the trusts and Hoke Smith with the prohibition ists chasing alcohol away, there will be life In the old land yet." All the sneakers were poetical, but the effusion of Judge Charles F. Moore, who spoke for Virginia, took on the nature of a lament. It was orig inal, was entitled "The South Is Go ing Dry" aud was greatly applauded by the diners. It was as follows: Lay the jest about the julep In the camphor balls at last. For the miracle has happened. And the olden days are past. That which made Milwaukee famous Does not foam In Tennessee, And the lid In Alabama Is as tight locked as can be. And the comic paper colonel And his cronies well may sigh. For the mint Is waving gayly. And the south Is going dry. By the stlllside on the hillside In Kentucky all Is still. And the only damp refreshment Must be dipped up from the rill. North Carolina's stately governor Gives his soda glass a shove And discusses local option With the South Carolina gov. It Is useless at the fountain To be wlnkful of the eye. For the cocktail glass Is dusty, And the south Is going dry. It Is water, water everywhere, And not a drop to drink. We no longer hear the musie Of the mellow crystal clink. And the colonel and the general And the major and the ledge Meet to have a little "nip" To give the appetite an edge. For the eggnog now Is nogless. And the "rye" has gone awry. And the punch bowl holds carnations. And the south Is going dry. Ralph n. Holland responded for North Carolina, Bruce L. Bice for Ten- nessee and William A. Barber for goutn Carolina. DINNER $200 A PLATE. Wine Flowed From a Fountain In an Elaborately Decorated Room. In a garden of rosea, with clinging vines loaded with tropical fruits. Ju- "us Myers, a wealthy cloalfVuanufac- turer, entertained a party of friends before dawn the other morning, treat ing them to one of the costliest meals ever served in New York city. Some figured the cost at $200 a plate and others at $300. There were fifteen men at the meal, with Mr. Myers making the sixteenth. It waa held at a well known restau rant Tbe dining ball was reached through arcades of floral arches carried on col umns of smllax and evergreens. A cross arch marked off the entrance at the eastern end of the hall, and a line of rectangular flower bowers flanked the western side where the fifty mu sicians were hidden. Four colossal marble columns supporting statuary marked the space leading to the great dining table. This had been built op In the center ' of the hall with huge copper tanks hidden with water lilies and natural . flowers, so tbst tbe center of the table I appeared like a great lake, on which floated live swans and ducks. In tbe water could be seen live lobsters, crabs and various game fish swimming about An outer stream about the ta ble was wine that flowed from a foun tain in the center. The cigars cost $5 each and were es pecially made In Cubs for the dinner. : FUNMAKERS FOR PANAMA. Women Musician tent t Amu Un ele Sam's Canal Diggers.
