Wb.cn the news of the second tragedy
-was telephoned to Police Captain

The police have as yet been unable

I McGcever so strenuously denied any
connection with the double murder of

inclined to give him every chance to

ably bo found Mipporting it. There
ire no signs of negotiations between the

cet Hearst's support 1: they succeed
ii eetting together with labor nnd in-
ilucing LaFolIette to become their can-

If a fusion between lahor and the

I.aifolictte refuses to be the candidate,
the nomination will probably go to
Henry Ford. Ford is indifferent to

tterroltted his shop to be unionized. The
ijommlttee of forty-eight docs not want

a question of whether, but of how,
Arthur 'A. Hayes, chairman of the con

Discussion was continuing, ho said,
among representatives of the committee

In the main, Robert M. Buck,
Illinois, chairman of the committee,
said, they follow the declaration of
inrinelnlps ndonted bv tho nnrtv at its
first national convention last November.
Nationalization of raw materials, public
utilities and the principal industries is
included.
A plank for Irish freedom, to which
the committee of forty-eight is said to
be opposed, is a part of each of the
proposed drafts. Each also, Buck said,
has a "tinge" of single taxism, but no
out-and-out declaration Is Included be
cause the labor party favors "steeply
graduated income taxes."
The labor committee will complete its
final drafts tonight, and tomorrow will
go Into conference with the committeo

Scranton, July 12. Representatives

The charges wcro Included In n state

All Plead "Not Guilty"
All had been indicted by a federal

with the escape of Grover, May 21,
after ho had been taken from Governors

Mrs. Bergdoll, Braun and Romig

he was away on a week-end trip. After
T. Henry Walnut, assistant district

Instead of the lone cane familiar to

After making her plea the draft

DEEM NEW PLAN NECESSARY
Bu a Staff OorrponfCTil
Capo May, July 12. Prison reform
was decided on as ono of tho paramount
Issues toward which the Friends would
work during tho next two years nt this
morning's session of tho Friends' gen
eral conference on tho Municipal Audi
torium Pier. Tho proposal that young
Friends specially trained in medicine
nnd psychology undergo voluntary im
prisonment to study tuo situation was
mado by Anna D. Michcner, of New
York, who led the discussion on "The
prison question." Tho project, which
It was estimated would rcqulro three
years and a largo sum of money to work
out, was referred to tho philanthropic
committee nnd tho Friends' service com
mittee as ono of tlie issues of tho pres
ent conference.
"Tho plan Is not spectacular, but
greatly needed to develop a new system
of penology that will mako citizens out
of offenders ngalnst society instead of
merely punishing them," declared Miss
Michener.
"Tho Elmlra reformatory and other
similar Echools are training young men
for Sing Sing," said J. Paul Wllllouis.
of New York, in urging improvement in
these "schools of crime."
"Wo Friends should get bnck of tho
probation system," he also declared.
Tho first offender should not be im
prisoned, but given nnothcr chanco to
mako good in society.
Friends were urged to join prison re
form societies in an effort to Improvo
conditions find help ex-prisoners, to get
a fresh start and to mako every effort
to educate public opinion of actual pris
on conditions in the course of the ani
mated discussion which followed.
Tho consideration of prison wardens
as proper men for the position was also
suggested as a means of Improving con
ditions. "Psychology" and Common Senso
"You will find prison authorities and
wardens ready to join in this sort of
work," declared former Congressman
William A. Cox, of Long Island a friend
of Theodore Roosevelt, "and Just be
cause you apply a fow new words like
'psychology' to tho situation you
mustn't feel that you have everything.
Common sense is just as much in de
mand as It ever was."
The plan grew out of tho work of
young Friends connected with tlie new
school for social service In New York.
It was the feeling of the conferenco that
prison reform undertaken by tho Friends,
with their record for disinterested serv
ice abroad and in this country, would
have satisfactory results.
It was estimated that tho proposed
plan would require the expenditure of
$100,000.
Raco Problom Discussed
Tho position of tho negro in Industry
nnd education was presented to tho con
ference by James II. Dillard, of New
York, president of the John F. Slater
Fund, who spoke on "The Race Prob
lem." "Soventy five per cent of tho people
of tho South hato lynching and are
lighting against its practice with all
their power," said Mr. Dillard Ho de
clared that "time, education and the
spirit of Christ will solvo tho raco
problem in this country."
He spoko of tho Civil War as a "silly
affair," that could havo been prevented
by religion and common sense nnd told
of tho growing feeling among tho
churches and people of tho south ot
their duty to bring nbout an era of
good feeling nnd justico In their rela
tions with the negroes.
"Lynching Is at bottom hdodlumlsm,"
ho oxplnlned, "nnd is indulged iu by
only C000 or C000 of tho 30,000,000
people of the South.
"A now era of construction is help
ing tho South nnd the cntiro solution of
tho problem will como when the dif
ferences between tho whito and negro
races living sido by side aro merged in a
truo Christianity. '
Governor Sproul is expected to arrive
Into this afternoon. He will be met by.
n committeo of prominent Friends.

of carrying out the .suffrage plank and

rens, said sho felt tho Republicans J
tho mole memhers were doing an tnej
could to block suffrage.

said Mrs. Plersol, "but tho refusal ol
tho eovernor of Vermont to call a
nnpctnl ttesslon of the Lcclslaturc of Ms.
state, when tho known sentiment ol'l
tho Legislature favored the suffrage
amendment, was not ot all unexpected.
We continue to havo faith in the man
hood of the country. Our faith, how.
over, is in tho mass of tho men of the
nation j not in the politicians. We are

of tho governors of the various statu

of the country took the measure of tbe
governor of Vermont some time ato.
His refusal to call a special legislative
session has not changed my opinion
of him in the least. We'll have some
real governors ono of these days. I
hopo to see the states of Vermont, Con
