Survey Shows That 16 Countries Have No Death Sentence World Wide Move Progresses for Abolition of Capital Punishment
Punishment
(United States)
(United Press)
London, Jan. 12—Sentence of death no longer exists in 10 countries on the world.
Partial in Switzerland
Authoritative data compiled here show that the death penalty has been used in polish, Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Lithuania, Brazil, Latinia, Lithuania, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Honduras and Uruguay. It is important to note that data are in Denmark, Belgium and France.
It was abolished in Switzerland by Federal Constitution in 1874, but the various Cantons retained liberty of action. Fifteen Cantons have not rejoined it. In the remaining ten Cantons, they have exchanged exceptions during the last 90 years.
Eight states in the United State have abolished it.
Italy abolished the death penalty in 1889, but owing to the frequent attempts against the life of Mussolini it was reintroduced this year. It can only be passed, however, for attacks on the king and his chief ministers.
Russia has abolished the non-patriotic in cases of murder. It is still imposed, however, for rapists and for political offences.
Abolished in Russia
Informed circles here state that a movement for world wide abolition is rapidly gaining ground.
In Germany, the Judicial Committee of the Reichstag has for many months been discussing an abolition of the criminal code and criminology. It is expected to be submitted to the Reichstag itself, in an amended form, at a near date. The states of Hesse and Saxony have already abolished the penalty.
In the free city of Hamburg there has been no execution since 1917. In Prussia, executions are extremely rare and few cases of state is carried out only when the murder is multiple or has been committed with particularly admissible evidence.
Retained by Associates
Relained by Anastasie
At various times the French Chamber has discussed the abolition of punishment. A bill urging its abolishment was recently introduced in the Chamber by M. Joaillau.
Little progress can be reported for the abolition of capital punishment in Asian countries, China's vary, and India's difficult for abolitionists to promote any campaign on soils lines. Greater hope are outstretched for Japan, albeit with some reservations available. Abolition circles here claim, however, that within the next decade executions in Japan, if not absolutely nonexistent, will be comparatively

Albuquerque, Jan. 12—Health resort amm and river trifagation water combine to produce in the middle lake a stream with the greater per acre than that grown anywhere else in the United States. The reservoir is used for the crops produced elsewhere, according to R. G. Newhouse, chemist, who is president of a local tobacco company.
The extraordinary yield in this region of the Southwest is attributed to the fact that New York produces a large number of sunshine in year other than sections of the country. Sufficient food from the soil in New York has been grown and it has a greater appetite than most other plants, is supplied by the water from the river which presents the valley farms.
The Rio Grande valley qualified in a tobacco country in a series of cases where the yield justified the establishment of a tobacco growing industry in this

Washington, Jan. 12—Voella
Knorrcrok was born under an unlucky
star.
First of all, be he was reeled in the black, key vests of Bicevia. Second, his ambitions were cramped by the creeps in America — the land of promise — were nipped in the bed by the forces in Nome, Alaska. S Coast Comm in Nome, Alaska.
Vacacia listened to glowing reports of the land to the south. His imagination was stirred and he conferred with friends about it. They decided to journey to America.
The nine Russians had but little money to buy luxury houses, instead invested his savings in an open white boat while the other purchased food and far cloth.
It was a good 200 miles across the Bering Strait or the Bering Sea to an Alaskan haven; the water was stern tossed and ice-packed, but mature in all of the Arctic Heresies could survive the nine determined Russians.
They embarked from the tip of Síberia in the open white boat with nothing but sand. They are held up for 14 days they battled wind, tides and ice. Three by three di-yo took turns at propelling the open water to the shore and into the river at the rudder.
Finally they sighted the rocky coast of Alaska and they stared a course over the ocean, Bering sea until the smoke of the city of Nome told them that they were in danger.
Vocobla beached his city about 15 miles north of the city. The nine clambered above after one of the most hazardous voyages ever attempted by modern murmurers. Eight of the adventurers pushed on by foot to Name in search of food, friends and counsel, having Vesuvius to guard his host, which they thought might be for another journey further south.
Someone advised the coast guard station at Nome that the sine alarms be turned off, but he and his country, Eastmanville Thomas Kiss, in charge of the station, started out on a 40-mile route.
Debt Unpaid Since 1776
He was to collect every six months in tobacco and cotton for the powder, gun, uniforms and food he was shipped. He would also stamped for 5,000,000 frames, but could get nothing but a letter of thanks out of Congress. The French Foreign Minister, Vergennes, advanced the stamped currency as the name of the American colonies.
He and his crew of guardians,
found the whale bont where it had been beached but there were no signs of a crew.
He was taken to Nomo under arrest and turned over to R., W. J. Reid, collector of curious and imminent records, and the interpreter Volcosa said that his companions had entered to work their way south, leaving him in charge of them.
One of the guardians spotted the tall tumour grazing near elegantly-covered stairs in the backyard, a visitation blasted Vossein in hiding, frightened by the official-looking man.
French Family not to Collect Old War Funds
Three years later, Beaumarchais收
2,450,000 francs but the colonies
refused to pay any more. Along
with his efforts, he outraged Beaumarchais' fortune. He asked for payment again, and the colonies named Alexander Hamilton to study the affair. He decided that the United
States owed and should pay 2,250,

His story of the 30-mile battle his injury in an attack on Alaska drew attention to the court report. Celin was sentenced to be shipped back to Silberin in spring when the ice melted.
Even before France had broker, with England, in 1776, and could openly take a stand beside the American colonies, it was common for the American envy into a Paris café and signed a contract to furnish the colonies with war material. Bona minorities took the risks, shipping out the goods to the new lands, collecting once the goods got there.
Paris, Jan, 12—On paper, the United States owes the Beaucharme family of France a million dollars of principal and compound interest since 1756. But the Beaucharme family has no intention of trying to collect
But Bacumarchais died before he could collect even that sum, and in 1835 his descendants received a check for 800,000 francs from Washington with a request to sign a receipt in full. The rest is yet unpaid.
M. Delaware Caron de Beauvarambis, newly promoted from director of programs at the Rocky Mountain Film Festival to become Ainsley Ambassador at Rome, in the direct descendant of the founder and weightless adventurer who came to the aid of the thirty struggling colonies even before independence.
Vocela who conceived the idea and furnished the fontaint must go back to his former dreary existence in Shberia.
