of the worthy unemployed. His at
titude was commended by the mayor
and council, who discussed for a
time the advisability of undertaking

DIX FAVORS MOVEMENT TO
END DEATH PENALTY
Agrees With Superintendent of Pris
ons and Will Back Efforts to Abol
ish Capital Punishment.
Albany. With Governor Dix pre
pared to back up Superintendent of
Prisons Scott in efforts he may make
to have capital punishment abolish
ed in New York state and a bill under
preparation to accomplish this pur
pose, indications are that the ques
tion of doing away with the death
chair will be brought squarely before
the legislature for action.
The interview quoting Colonel Scott
as opposed to the taking of life by
the state, was responsible for a series
of happenings that provoked unusual
Interest in the question and caused
senators and assemblymen to as
sume opposing positions with respect
to how they will vote on the bill.
When the Interview with Colonel
Scott was shown to Governor Dix he
read with interest the reasons given
by Colonel Scott for believing that
capital punishment doea not act as a
crime deterrent. Governor Dix said:
"I am in sympathy with Colonel
Scott's views on the subject. I think
it would be the right thing to do."
A machine has been patented In
England for redressing worn wooden
