.RJDffiSfONr AGAIN
BATTLES IN FEDERAL
COURT FOR FREEDOM
Frank S. Mnrrjn, of Storey Cot
ton Swindle Fame, Contends
That Government Has No
Right to Jail Him
TIME' ALL DONE, HE SAYS
Prank C Mftrrln. the "Judge Franklin
Bton" of expenMvo memory to the vie
tlm of the great $8,000,000 Story cotton
wlndlc. went before Judge Dickinson, In
thh United States Dlntrlct Court today,
armed with a battery of teehnlcat legal
pointy In an effort to avoid serving four
. years In the Eastern Tenltentlary.
Summed up. Marrln's contentions nre
that to lodge him In Jail here would force
him to a violation of hli New Tork
parolo, that the parole ccrtlllcate was
not made out In conformity with the laws
of New York, and that the Government
waived Its right to punish him by not
asserting Its prior claim In 190S, when
he was convicted In Brooklyn of swind
ling ,an old woman out of 180,000.
In Kddltlon to this, ho contends that In
the eye of the law he has served his
1 sentence for the Storey Cotton Swindle,
because "no ministerial officers could
suspend the running of the sentence of
the Federal Court."
Marrln's contention about parole viola
tion. Is contested by tho Government
authorities. They point out that tho
paper provides that Marrin Is to be re
leased "upon parole at the discretion of
the agent and warden of Auburn Prison
after September 9, 1915, to be turned over
to the United States authorities to answer
charges against him, and then to George
D. Morntt, Bush Terminal, Brooklyn,
n. y."
It Is In this connection that Marrin
makes his second point; that the parole
certificate did not comply with the New
York Ia,w. As assistant to the clerk In
Auburn prison, Marrin was well versed
in the form of parole certificates. Mar
rin says he signed tho parole cert I Ilea to
with the understanding that he was to
be turned over at once to Moffltt, Instead
of being sent to this city. He contends
that he' did not read the paper.
When Marrin was awaiting sentence for
the swindling charge In Brooklyn, and
again Just after he started to serve
time for that, he made efforts to have
himself returned to the Jurisdiction of
the Federal authorities here. Both at
tempts failed. In each Instance the Gov
ernment failed to Join In his action, and
thereby, he contends, U waived all right
to punish him for his part In the Storey
cotton swindle.
Lawyers are intensely interested in the
case today. Marrin was expected to
make a fight, but it was not expected
to be so apparently well-grounded. Judge
Dickinson took up-, the .case September
21, but declined to Qiake fr decision until
he had before him tile records of the .Mar
rin cases both in tlMPe'aersl -courts of
this city and the StfttflT-CaUrtaC New
York He now has these records,' There
also Is a supplemental writ of habeas
'corpus upon which Judge Dickinson will
decide today.
A dramatic recital of his Jail experiences
was given by Marrin when he took the
witness stand before Judge Dickinson.
The objection of Assistant United States
District Attorney Hall was overruled by
tho court to permit Marrin to testify
Legal points in the case will be argued at
t, o clock this afternoon. The court ad
urned after the attomoys had submit
ted briefs In which all the court proceed
ings against Marrin here and elsewhere
nre reviewed.

MARRIAGE TAXATION
MET WITH RIDICULE
BY PENN PROFESSOR
New York Educator's Propositi
to Restrict Marriage and
Child Birth Called
a Joke
PRAISE FOR BACHELORS
Few economists. In the opinion of Dr.
Simon Nelson Patten, professor of politi
cal economy at the University of Penn
sylvania, will take seriously the effort of
Dr. .Toieph French Johnson, dean of the
finance school of the New York Univer
sity, to link the Malthusian theory with
the question of Income taxation.
In a starltlng discussion of the merits
and demerits of the State Income tax
yesterday, Doctor Johnson declared In
emphatic terms that the much nagged at
bachelor. Instead of being subjected to a
larger tax than the man of family,
should actually be assessed for less than
the benedict.
Doctor Johnson followed this statement
with one that marriage and child-bearing
should bo regulated by some authority
that should first have to be convinced of
a man's ability to provide for a wife and
family before allowing him to acquire
them. He declared, further, that one of
the basic causes of the present European
war is the fact that the theories laid
down by Malthus more than 100 years
ago were not put Into practice.
"I think before a man Is allowed to
have a child," Doctor Johnson said, "he
should convince some officer appointed
for tho purpose of his ability to rear a
child In the proper way."
The New York professor added that a
family mnn living In the metropolis with
nn income of only $2500 Is a poor man.
Characterizing the whole discussion ns
trivial from the point of reason and
trivial from the point of the money that
would come in as a result of Increased
taxation for married men. Doctor Patten,
while loath to discuss the Malthusian the
ory from a practical standpoint, declared
that at least 90 per cent, of the population
would be denied the privilege of marry
ing and raising families, if Doctor John
son's pronouncement regarding the $2500
were taken seriously.
"Although I nm sure that nt least two
thirds of the economists of the country
would answer 'yes' If you asked them If
they believed In the Malthusian theory of
birth control " Doctor Patttn said, "yet
If rnu asked them how to put their be
liefs Into practice you would get at least
40 different replies.
"Now that property has been taxed to
tho limit, the question of raising revenue
Is a serious one, but I nm apt to regard
this latest development In the New York
situation as a Joke.
"Suppose," he continued, "that married
men were punished with an increased tax.
It would only be a matter of about $10
annually. Now, if you take the married
men in the United States whose Income
Is over the amount exempted let us say
$1000 you have only a handful, and I
doubt If the tax Increase would be more
than $1,000,000 for the whole country.

CARRANZA TO GOVERN
MEXICO AS 'EXECUTIVE'
Head of De Facto Government
Wants to Be Eligible for
Election as President
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Although the
Carranza government Is the recognized
legal de facto government In Mexico, the
country will not have n "president" for
a j ear, according to Information here
today. Carranza does not expect to as
sume the presidential title.
Mexico will remain without a president,
with Carranza continuing as Its "chief
executive" merely. In order to be quali
fied as a candidate for the presidency
when general elections are called.
Mexican delegates here declared that
If Carranza should assume the title of
"provisional president" he would disqual
ify himself to run In the elections for
President. By remaining merely "chief
executive." or "first chief," he wlllv still
be eligible as a candidate.
All reports today pointed to the near
extinction of the Villa movement. Villa's
Junta here will go out of business Sat
urday, when Enrique Llorente, hla chief
agent, will close the Junta's office and
move permanently to New York. Llorente,
Generals Felipe Angeles, Chao, Itaoul
Madero and jijier Vllllsta leaders In this
country do not plan to return to Mexico,
feeling Carranza will not extend them
immunity. Neither will they return to
Villa's ranks to continue the revolution.

WOMEN LARGE FACTOR
IN SAFETY MOVEMENT,
SAYS HEAD OF COUNCIL
Retiring President Says Wives
May Help Workmen Co
operate With Employers
to Avoid Accidents
OPPOSED TO SOCIALISM
Woman, as the great factor In the
success of the safety-first movement, was
lauded today by noucrt W. Campbell, re
tiring president of the National Pafetj
Council, during the last day of the con
gress at the Betlevue-Stratford.
With the co-operation of the wives and
women kinsfolk of the workman who has
held aloof from the safety-first Idea the
ulllmato success of the movement Is as
suicd, said Mr. Campbell.
"Women are the big force today," he
said, "and they should have the vote.
They are the greatest aids In the aafety
flrst movement."
Mr. Campbell said he was In favor of
socialistic theory, but not socialistic
practice.
He added that It had been found that
the majority of Industries did not need
any coercion In the way of compensa
tion acts to make them be strong sup
porters of the principles of safety. He
then repeated his assertion that the
safety movement would In the end prove
to be the greatest single factor toward
placing the employer and employe on the
samo level, and eliminating any friction
or differences that might arise between
them.
Mnrcus A. Dow. of the New York Cen
tral llnus, acted as chairman of the rail
road section meeting this morning. Trans
portation experts from the big s stems
brought forth figures to prove that two
thirds of the accidents were due to the
human element, while but one-third could
be rtopped by safeguarding machinery.
"t Is this human factor that we have
the grcntest trouble In contending with,
as we can do our very best and unless
the men do their part by obseivins at
least the first principles of precaution,
our efforts, time and money will be of no

Ben Franklin The inspira
tion of Philadelphia's new party
C Benjamin Franklin's activities in primitive Philadelphia
continued with a vigorous assault on the old fire depart
ment. Franklin saw that the bucket and ladder brigade
was far inadequate, so the fisrt fire department followed the bow
legged watchman. In its place were formed several well
equipped volunteer companies, with buckets, ladders and even
large hampers for removing household contents, some of which
were so well removed, that they were never located. However
a big step toward civic betterment had been completed. '
C Franklin next founded an Academy, of which our present
University of Pennsylvania is the offspring. Then fol
lowed his preparations for the competent defence ofpSe
port of Philadelphia, providing several forts supplemented
trained garrisons and regiments. So continued the works of this
great public servant, Benjamin Franklin, whose whole thought
and life were devoted to the progress and prosperity of Philadel
phia. NOW COMES THE y maflel
FRANKLIN PARTY
Inspired by the same iknsdfish, public-spirited sentiment that
helped to feund Philadelphia; a party that every loyal and lib
erty-lovlnp; citizen whether Republican, Democrat or Progressive
may join; a permanent safeguard against greed, graft and political
bargain,,. This party eed your determined, patriotic support
