IS SUBSTITUTE FOR JAIL SELL Chicago.—On the theory that they may have diseased brains and that they may require mental treatment as a substitute for punishment, Chicago husband i who do not recognize their obligations to support their wives hereafter may he sent to a humane laboratory instead of to jail. Chicago's new psychopathic labora tory, the first of its kind In the United States, soon will be established as an auxiliary to the municipal court. l>r. Win. J. Hickson, of Vineland, N. J., who studied In the court laboratory at Berlin, will be. the head of th« Chicago laboratory. Miss Mnry R. Campbell, of Milwaukee, who did re search work at John Hopkins nnd Harvard University, will be the asso ciate director. By making a scientific examination of defendants it is hoped the judgges will be able to deal with them so as to produce best results when enses come to trial. Experiments in the Ber lin court laboratory were said to have shown a positive connection between physical and mental deficiency. ■'The backward boy may be back ward because of defective sight or hearing." explained Chief Justice (>l - “persons who come Into the po lice courts, the boys* court, the morals court and the court of domestic rela tions will be subject to an examination in the laboratory if It appears probable they need it” COMPEISATION WORKERS LIS Washington—Workmens’ eompensii sation laws are rapidly superseding employers’ liability laws bh a method of dealing with results of Industrial accidents, according to the federal bu reau of labore In a report today. It shows that 23 states have enact ed workmens’ compensation laws and that these acts have thus far been de clared constitutional by courts of last resort In Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Washington and Wisconsin. The law was declared invalid, however, in Montana because it permitted double liability and In New York because It was held to be in conflict with the state constitution. Later In New York, however, a new law was passed which avoided uneonstltutlonallty. The report says It Is worthy of note no country has ever returned to the liability system arter having enacted a compensation law. "While some de sire is expressed In certain quarters to delay action until a uniform meas ure cun be agreed upon,” the report concludes, "it Is apparent t o the most casual observer that the rapid move ment of the past, five years is likely to continue Its progress until the rule of proved negligence of the employer and the assumption by the employe of all risks not arising therefrom Is super sodded by the more humane and equitable doctrine of making the In dustry provide for the human no less than the mechanical breakage and wear and tear.” Y.M.C.A. CAMPAIGN IS ON FOR NEW MEMBERS The big Inter-City Membership Cam paign is on. It began this morning at oracle o' day and the different teams sr* hustling to get a good start on the others.

Another "probably showers" foreeast was issued today for tonight or tomor row. A few drops of rain were felt hist night early but not enough to mention.

The Tageblatt, which publishes Ills story, nays that of bis successive marriages with two slaters, 36 children were born, 26 of whom are living—l 9 boys and seven girls. The tailor married at the age of 20. His first wife, who died In 1907, bore him 24 children. In 1908 ho marrloo his deceased wife’s sister, who has borne him 11 children In the last six years. Triplets earn* on one oc casion and twins were born twice. When his sixth son entered tho army In 1913 Egllnskl received a pri vate audience with the kaiser, who ordered him entertained In Berlin at his majesty's expense for a week. Egllnskl has become a celebrity on. adds to his Income as a tailor by selling picture postcards of himself. THE MORNING WITH THE RECORDER Mr. and Mrs. Roe Shad came to Mettle their differences before Judge Irvin yesterday morning. (Everybody, of course, knows the colored man pained Banks who has earned the ti tle of Hoe Shad I. The difference seemed to be, this time, that Mrs. Shad was arrested and her husband not—the most serious difference the) have ever had. For, it appears, the last lime they were at the Stockade together, she told him that it must always happen so, that they must al ways go up there together. And, moreover, that the i.exi time she was arrested she would BEE TO IT that he was too. But last night lie out witted her. From Ills long experience he has learned to detect the first symptoms of the family upheavals, which Invariably land thorn both up at the Stockade for fifty dnj'H or so, and he laat night saved himself Just in the nick of time by sending for the Police of Ills own accord, and hav ing her taken up. The Police arrived to find her pursuing him with a fork. In the most wifely manner. She also has a large and varied fund of Invec tive which Hint wus drawing on freely. “Now this time,” said the Judge, "you are not going to take him with you. How did that happen? I thought you always wanted to have him along for company." "Judge,” she said, “he done mo a dirty trick." “I suppose you'll tHko his next time, just to make up for this omission. You certainly made a mis-step lust night." Roe Shad himself took no part In defending Ills wife, lie said he work ed ninety days all last summer for nothing, through one of her whims, and he did not Intend that it should oeeur again. He showed seven hid eous scars on Ills head where she had worked on him last year with the salt cellar. So that aim was fined heavily, nnd he went home. Hut, nfter court wns over, the weather being warm and pleasant and all the doors open, and everybody in a more or less good humor, the Judge naked several by-standers what they thought ho ought to do with Mistress Shad. They suggested that he give her one chance more. Other people managed to get through the Spring and Hummer without going to the Stockade, and maybe a pardon would give her a step tip. Meanwhile, from the guard room, had come sounds of strenuous nnd farntic weeping. Ho lie called he r hack. Ho told her that IT she would make an effort to behave herself, and not lie mean to Shad any more, he would let. her go. And he added that she could give a nice surprise party to her spouse to night, the good man thinking her safe and far away. It is to wonder what she will find when she gets home. Presumably enough to bring them both up In court again on Monday. KICKAPOO WORM KILLER EX PELS WORMS.
