Hubert Jones, after church Sunday
morning went to the Jones & May
store, in which he le one of the part-
ners to get Some Sunday school pap-
ers, his auspieions were aroused when
be found the back door unlocked. He
found that bars had been forcibly re-
moved from a basement window and•
that marauders had forced the door
between the basement and the main
store. This had been done, although
a strong bar had fastened this door.
Upon making furtner investigation,
leer. Jones found that two ladies' coats
of fine muskrat, severalmen's leather
and sheepskin coats and several smal-
ler articles had been taken. Several
boxes 4.f shirts, gloves and socks ap•
-peared also to have been hurriedly
picked over and a selection made. The
burglars did not fare so well next
door for, although they entered the
basement of the hardware establish-
ment of B. W. F. Beavers and even
cut holes in the door connecting the
basement and the ground floor, their
efforts to open it failed. It would
neem that this job had been abandon.
ed suddenly. The mamks of a truck
could be seen at the back, but it is
not known whether they are connect-
ed with the crime or not. There are
sheds at the bask of these stores
which would conceal anyone working
at the windows. Constable White -
aides, of Goderich, was notified and
during his investigations G. A. Haw-
kins, whose hardware store is situat-
ed directly across the street from the
Jones & May and B. W. F. Beavers
stores, discovered that his place had
Green entered. A (bck window on
the ground floor had 'been broken to
admit entrance. So far Mr. Hawk-
ins places his loss at three rifles, at
least two shotguns, a quantity of 12,
gauge and .22 calibre rifle ammuni-
zion and •a small quantity of cash,
which had been left in the cash reg-
ister. This is the second series of
robberies here within a briee'period
On Tuesday while motoring to
Stratford, Francis Albbott came a-
cross an abandoned car about ten
miles from Exeter, on the Mitchell
road. He notified the police, With
Constable Norie, Fred May and Herb-
ert Jones, Mr. Abbott investigated. In
the ear was found a trunk, two suit-
cases and club bage containing two
fur coats, socks and shirts, all stolen
from three Exeter stores, on Sunday.
No license plates were on the car, a
coach of 1930 make. The ownership
of the car abandoned a half mile be-
yond Russelldale, on the road from
Exeter to Mitchell, has been establish-
ed. The markers had been removed,
but Provincial Constable Whitesides
and Constable John Norie, of Exe=
ter, got in touch with the department
of public highways and through the
serial number found that the car had
been sold in St. Thomas to A. W.
Galloway, of that city. Mr. Gallo-
way, who is a representative of the
Singer Sewing Machine Company, had
parked it on Monday afternoon in
the Sanger Company's driveway, off
Carling Street, London, and it was
stolen about 5.35 p.m. Interviewed,
Mr. Galloway states that another car
he had used only a few months was
burned at Orvell about three months
ago` and the theft of the second auto-
mobile was a hard blow. In the
trunk found in the car was merchan-
dise belonging to Jones & May, whose
.store here was entered fast- Sunday.
The thieves had evidently been to
London and stolen the car 36 hours
after looting the Exeter stores and
the police are busy trying to trace
where the goods were in the mean-
time.
Death of James Murray. — James
Murray, a veteran foundrymen died
suddenly at his home, St. Andrew
Street, on Tuesday at midnight. Mr.
Murray who was .in his 79th year,
had' been •suffering with a cold for
a few days but no serious results had
been anticipated. His sister, Mies
Jean 'Murray, with whom he lived,
went to his room about twelve o'clock
as was her custom to see if her bro-
ther was oomforbable and was ,shock-
ed to find that he had passed away.
It is thought that death came as a
result of a heart weakness. Mr. Mur-
ray, who was the son of the late Mr.
and Mrs. James Murray, was born on
the London Road, north of Exeter, on
the farm now owned by Dr, Moir. The
deceased had been engaged in the
foundry business fora number of
years having worked) in Mitchell,
Wroodstock and Wingham and later
opened a machine and repair shop in
Exeter in the old Verity plant, which
be conducted successfully for many
years. He sold his business and re-
tired about 12 years ago. Mr. Mur-
ray had a quiet and kind dieposition
and was held in high esteem by a
large nuneber of friends who will
learn with regret of his sudden pass-
ing. He was a staunch Liberal and
a member of Main Street United
-Church. His wife predeceased him
by several years and he is survived
by one son, William, of Toronto, and
two daughters, Jean, of Hamilton, and
Mfrs. J. E. Jordan, of Pasadena, Calif,;
three brothers, George, of Lenvars,
7,owa; Robert," of Toronto, and An-
drew, of Regina, and two sisters, Mrs.
Alex. Smillie, of Toronto, and Miss
Jean 'Murray, of Exeter. The remains
e will be taken to Toronto and the fun-
eral will take place from the home
of his son there. Final arrangements
-have not yet beem, made.
FINDS ART OF CURSING SADLY
ON THE DECLINE ,
In the interest of a fund to support
the Kentish Town' Day Nursery, Lor)1
-avid Cecil recently gave an address
With . rile 'apprbOiate titre of "The tree

largees had` a reputation for
effective language, but it seemed un-
deserved, since all those be had met
were, models of courtesy. Authors to-
day spent Meat of their time in favor-
ably reviewing each other's books and
if they attacked, which they did
only on rare occasions, it was g subtle
'stale in the back and not a *stirring
onslaught. Even to the church, in
which the art of cursing for.centuries
had been cultivated until it had ,be-
come a holy art, one could no longer
turn with. relief. Of course there re-
mained hatred enough in the church
but for the most part it was not the.
hatred of one sect for another but
the hatred of 'brethren for each other.
For example, the Bishop of Birming-
ham, though sufficiently di'sagreea'ble
to those of his own church, spoke al-
most affectionately of "wistful agnos-
tics."
But when Lord Davis after this
promising introduction, proceeded to
give specimens of cursing which
aroused his admiration, it must have
become clear to his readers that he
yeas not dealing with real profanity
and blasphemies, but with polite vitu-
peration, such vituperation as she
may find in classic English literature.
Reviewing the great masters of the
art he found Milton lacking for where-
as Milton's curses stunned, they fail-
ed to kill, which is what is expected
of a good sound Burse. He consider-
ed Dryden and Pope, Burke, Junius
and Dr. Johnson to be our most 11-
lustrious exponents of vituperation.
There had been only one to equal
them since and that 'was Macaulay.
Cobbett, Carlyle, Ruskin and Newman
had their good points but in all fair-
ness could not be held to have reach-
ed the heights of their predecessors.
Something was lacking, he knew not
what. Possibly it might have been
good taste, or a stricter interpreta-
tion of the laws of libel. Again it
might have been merely a kind of
moral deterioration. Among contem-
poraries he found only two worth
mentioning—Hilaire Belloc and A. E.
Houseman.
Lord. David's discourse prompted
Commissioner David C. Lamb of the
Salvation Army to contribute a Letter
on the subject to the London Times.
One of his most precious recollections,
it appears, is that of a notable
dramatic curse uttered by Dr. Joseph
Parker, thecelebrated non -conform-
ist preacher. Forty= years ago the
world was agitated by the atrocities
of the Turks practised upon the Arm-
enians. Mlass meetings were held.
Mr. Gladstone and the Duke of West-
minster made powerful protests, but
governments seemed powerless to act.
On one of his Thursday addresses in
the City Temple, Dr. Parker spoke
out. He thumped the Bible with a
force which seemed to shake the build-
ing itself and then said, "I say 'God
damn the . Sultan.' " The effect, we
imagine, would have been even more
thrilling had the curse been delivered
on Sunday instead of a week -day. It
was, nevertheless, effective enough for
that very evening an enterprising
newspaper placarded London with just
those four words.
In the course of the last war there
were, it seems to us, plenty of shock-
ing language used. We do not go the
length of saying that it was in any
sense masterly vituperation although
"The Hymn of Hate" contained all
the desirable ingredients. We re-
member that on the night war was de-
clared youngsters paraded the streets
of Toronto shouting "To hell with the
kaiser!" A clergyman, whose sense
of the decencies was not at the morn-
ent swamped by patriotism, pretested
forcibly the next day, and it was some
time, we believe, before he lived down
the suspicion of being a pro -German.
Most memorable was the standing
curse invented by the late Col. Henry
Watterson, who day after day in the
Louisville Courier -Journal said "To
hell with the Hapsburg and the Hoh-
enzollern!" The war also produced the
classic specimen of Bowdlerization, so
far as our own observation is con-
cerned. It will be recalled that the
great exploit at Zeebrugge took place
on St. George's Day, and the signal
of the British fleet ran, "St, George
for England and we'll give the drag -
en's tail a damned good twist!" This
appeared in flaming headlines in a
Toronto paper as, "St. George for
England and we'll give the dragon's
tail a — good twist."
It may indicate a sort of moral flab-
biness, as Lord David suspects, but we
believe that the chief reason for the
disappearance of the old-fashioned
vituperation which lie admires is be-
cause it was labored, artificial and
repetitious. In the chronicles of an
earlier generation we have heard that
fluency in swearing was considered
one of the most desirable of the less
violent arts. A man would swear for
five minutes at a balky mule and nev-
er repeat himself or use the same
oath twice. Mark Twain, we believe,
has record d the case of an outraged
citizen feeling himself unequal to the
task of properly venting his feelings
on a,• subject who employed a pro-
fessional to curse fox the rest of the
day. The man of to -day would be
merely bored by such a proceeding.
He can find in half a dozen Saxon
monosyllables which nobody ever
writes and everybody knows, suffici-
ently forcible and descriptive epithets
to express his feelings, no matter
how complicated the subject which a-
rises. In fact, the master of vitup-
eration to -day would empty chairs as
certainly as the old-fashioned story
teller who labored to perfect himself
in the odious art of consuming five
minutes to relate an anecdote that
could be told in one.
FAMOUS PRISON WARDelN
AGAINST DEATH PENALTY
For some weeks past the corres-
pondence columns have been present-
ing the views of various poeple on
the subject of capital punishment.
While some of the writers have used
pseudonyms we doubt if among them
is'te be found a murderer or a hangs
lniatr ':. Either d these would be in a
position to offer testimony of an in-,
timate character that oar other core

We think it ere,1;Id` he, of 'some ;interest
to hear the..nsewe of one Qf the .best
known penologists in the world, War-
den Lewis< A. Lawes, of Sing 'Sing
Wiarden Lawes has had in his custody
thousands of men under sentence of
death. It has 'been hiss duty to take
charge of the arrangements for the
execution of some hundreds of them
He has talked with murderers, re-
ceived their confidence. He has lived
with them and studied them. ' We
think that if the views of what may
be called a practical man are of value
on this subject, he is well worth hear-
ing.
In an article in Current History,
Mlr. Lawes says: "The death, penalty
does not deter murder. It never did.
We believe that the death penalty is
the last vestige of .bygone punish-
ments which defeated their purpose
by their inherent harshness. Itis
retained only because of timidity to-
ward any alteration in our tradition-
ally Accepted rules of procedure and
enforcement. Reasons urged . for its
retention have been confounded'' by ex
perience. Not even the most pro-
found advocates of the death penalty
would favor its enforcement if con-
vinced that it is not a necessary de-
terrent. In a large sense, the very
fact that we are confronted with the
homicide problem at all is evi•tence of
the futility of capital punishment.
More pointed is the thought that in
jurisdictions where the death sentence
has been abrogated there has been no
overwhelming homicidal wave and no
general increase in lawlessness.' This
it seems to us, pretty well covers the
case, and we have no doubt whatever
that the death penalty would long
ago have been abandoned in all civ-
ilized countries if it were a question
upon 'which logical argument were de-
cisive. But it is not. It is more like
a religious ,controversy, the emotions,
superstitions and prejudices of hu-
manity being deeply involved.
Warden Lawes in amplifying his
argument. notes that throughout New
England the homicide rate has been
consistently low for 'a hundred years,
and that it is not higher in Maine
and Rhode Island, which have abolish-
ed capital punishment, than in the
other states in the same group which
retain it. If capital punishment de-
ters, what is to be said about Cali-
fornia which inflicts it? In Los An-
geles, in 1928, there were 70 murders
and in the next year there were 77.
It is true than in 1928 there were
only three executions, and it might
be contended that the law is not actu-
ally enforced. This, indeed, is part
of Warden Lawes' argument. 1Ie con-
tends that if every convicted murder•
er were hanged or electrocuted, the
people of the United States would
rise in horror and command that the
punishment be abolished. If this is
true, if only one man out of 10 con-
victed for murder is actually execut-
ed, then on the ground of fair play
and equal punishment for equal
crimes the law ought to be repealed.
The Illinois Crime Commission re-
ports one murder case where 656 men
passed through the jury box before
the necessary 12 were chosen. It took
nearly four weeks to select this jury
and then the accused was acquitted.
The assumption is that he was acquit-
ted because of the reluctance of any
12 men to take personal res'pcnsibil-
ity in hanging a murderer. Warden
Lawes notes the peculiar kink in the
law which disqualifies for service as
a juror in murder trials anyone who
has conscientious objections to capi-
tal punishment, and he wonders if this
provision explains the extraordinary
number of reversals in murder cas-
es. In speaking of the uncertainty
which so frequently arises in murder
cases, the writer mentions that one
day last July three men were execut-
ed in Sing Sing. But their conbiction
was affirmed by a Court of Appeal
only on a divided vote. Who can say
which of the opinions should have
prevailed in a final analysis?
Warden Lawes says, "In a state-
ment recently submitted to me to the
Select Committee of the British
1Hlouse ef'domlmons on the subject of
capital punishment, I listed 45 cases,
including those of three women, of
convictions for murder in the first de-
gree, followed by death sentences, in
which the accused were saved from
execution by last-minute confessions
or newly discovered evidence. Many
men of questionable -guilt have gone
to their death only because they were
unable to rouse sufficient sentiment
or procure funds for thorough invest-
igation of their cases." But, as we
have said, arguments in this matter
are not decisive. Popular passion is
engaged. Brutality arouses brutal-
ity. When the public hears of a
shocking crime the public displays
the natural reaction and demands
that something shocking be done to
the author of the crime.. Our own
belief is that people are hanged not
because capital punishment deters
other possible murderers, or because
it is the only sure way in which the
public can be protected against this
particular murderer, bit because an
emotional condition is created by a
murder which only another murder
can dispel. For the average man to
demand that a given murderer should
be executed is as . natural as for him
to swear when he is angry. Both im-
pulses spring from the sante root,

Union Stock Yards, Toronto, January Gth.
—The suuply of cattle for sale at the Union
Stock Yards yesterday was some 400 head
lighter than on the previous Monday, and
movement to the soale was somewhat more
active, largely✓ as a result of improvel qual-
ity in the bulk of the weighty steers, of
which several loads, together with a few bulls
were taken for export. One load of heavies
sold at 7% cents per pound and other steers
over 1,050 pounds brought 7 to 7.35 cents
per pound for fair volume lots, and 614 cents
per pound was the low for a few rough
weighty butchers. Handyweight steers sold
unchanged from last week's close at 6 to 71/
cents per pound, according to quality and 7.4
cents Was top in the butcher section for a
few choice heifers.
Gond butcher cows brought a firm 4% to
514 cents per pound and a few fancy fat
cows made 51,4 cents, while cows in the poor-
er grades were steady, barring the odd can-
ner at a low of 11/2 cents per pound. Bulls
sold firm to strong, a fere of the best mak-
ing 51/a cents per pound, with other butcher
grades downward to 4 cents and bolognes at
81,4 to 3% cents per pound. Just one out-
standing baby beef commanded 11 cents, the
rest selling steady, according to quality, in p
range ce 71/, to 10 cents per pound.
Store cattle were a light offering and most-
ly stocker weights around 700 to 750 pounds
o$ which less than a carload sold at a range
of 3.35 to 5.90 cents per pound. There was
very l'it'tle inquiry for milkers and springers,
whioh also were a light offering.
Calf supply was more liberal than at the
opening of last week, but the market was
firm to 25 cents per cw•t. stronger on choice
vealers, which sold from 12 to 1214 cents
per pound, with plain downward to 8 cents.
Grassers were scarce, a few selling at 5 cents
per pound.
Following two weeks of short supply there
was a fair volume offering of sheep and
lambs, and the lamb market was strong at
91e to 9% cents per pound for good ewes
and wethers, with a few of the beet selling
up to 9% cents Culls and uncles, including
a carload of the latter, shipped from Mont-
real. sold at 7% to 7r.. cents. Sheep were
a light supply and solei steady at from, 2
to 5 cents per pound.
HogPrices Lower.
The price of hors was down 50 cents per
cwt. from last Wednesday so far as weighed
off car level was (concerned. On f.o.b. bacons
the range was 8x/4 to 9 cents and on weighed
off car bacons the range was 9%4 to 10 cents
per pound, the sproad ori $1.00 per cwt. be-
tween f.o.b. and w,o,c, being general. Pack-
er buyers were talking possibilities of a fur-
ther price reduction for to -day. In addition
to the receipt for sale yesterday there were
600 western hogs on through billing to out-
side packing plants.
Receipts to -day were 2,010 cattle, 856 calves,
945 hoge and 820 sheep and lambs,
