WASHINGTON", May IS.-Clnr-encc S. Darrow told the industrial re lations commission today he believed the day not far distant when jails and prisons would be abolished and hospitals would take- their places. "I don't mean that mom; people won't be confined," he said, "bHt they will be treated for their social ilia and not punished. Punishment is barbar ism and the people generally are be mining to realize it. borne day we will try to wipe out the cause of crime and doctor criminals instead of abusing nnd misjudging them." "I believe Rockefeller and Stand ard Oil hnte a most evil social in flu ence but Mr. Rockefeller thinks he is a innoccnf as any one, and justifies himself unto himself. Everybody thinks himself innocent. Hesistancc of military and other constituted authority, if that antltor- jty was abusive, Darrow urged was justifiable, arguing that liberty al ways had been maintained by blood shed. As one of the first steps to ward an ideal social community, he urged public ownership of land, mines, forests and railroads. ''There is no final remedy for tin rest, e.ept the grave," declared 'Dar row. Discussing the bovcott, Darrow de clared it a natural weapon men had used from the beginning, "It comes from the philosophy of life," he said, "luu and I boycott some one every' day. You can't help hoycottinsr and it it idle to try to pre vent it. Dut the boycott often works grent injustice." ''Do ou regard public opinion as of nny value to organized labor!" asked Commissioner Wcinstock. "It is the greatest force there is, but it is necessary to win pablio re sect. All that is necessary is to capture the public's imagination." Hut for standing behind the right ns ngninst tho wrong, Darrow de clared the "American people aro the poorest excuses in the world."

The public went wild; it got up a donation for bim, and envo him a Ivouso and, lot. Ho deeded it to his wife, and the people all went hack on him in a minute. Discussing tho ability of tho poor to defend themselves in the courts, Cora, missioner Wcinstook asked Darrow how much ho was paid for defending tho McNamaras. Darrow replied that money wns raicd fro mthu defense and that he was paid $18,000 for six months' work "nnd theu spent u year and n half nnd all tho money defend- mi? myself." REGISTER CASE petition the defendants have ruined and forced out of business a number of competing cash register companies and acquired 95 per cent or the cash register trade, of the United States." Tho, reversal of the coavictlon, the brief says, has been taken by many to indicate that the criminal provis ions ot toh anti-trust laws are uncn forclble and that general acceptance ot this view, even If mistaken, will to the greatest eoasequences, The government holds that the cir- ttt court's decision was based upon a fundamental misconstruction ot the anti-trust laws, mistaken views ot "monopolisation," a conspiracy la restraint ot trade, in applying the statute of llmllatlaa and to the re- hulrements Indictments under the antMrtist law, ITALY Sllf ?
