Offenders Income
May Measure Fines
O
Imposed in Sweden
_ ,
s'rocxnour. Hay 10.——An un-
nnee to the income of the offender, as
well as to the seriousness of» the
crime. is one of the'unlque provisions
in the proposed revision of Sweden'-
criminal statutes which has been rec-
ommended to the government by the
Criminal Law Commission.
Attention often has been called to
thi unjust operation of fines fixed
within narrow limits. To the wealthy
man such a fine in no way served as
a detmnt. yhile to the poor man
it often'became a punishment out of
all proportion to the seriousness of
the crime.
The principle of the proposed
amendment. which will doubters be
accepted. is that the punishment by
fine for any given offense shall work
with the same effectiveness upon per-
sons of various economic status.
There are to be two bases for fixing
the fine. the novelty being that the
amount is divided up into daily pay-
ments. instead of being lumped in
one sum. The degree of enormity of
the crime is to be indicated by the
number of days used as multiplies- in
the calculation, while the other fac-
tor. the sum to be paid each day, will
vary with the financial means of the
offender. These amounts may vary
from 6 cents to 850.000 a day. The
number of days shall not be less than
one or more than ninety.
Another humanitarian principle in
this provision is that the payments
need not be made in unbroken suc-
cession. though there must be at
least ten daily payments as month for
any given conviction.
Whenever failure to pay the fine
ensGes. the sentence may be com-
muted to imprisonment. though under
the proposed amendment consider-
ation will be given by the court to
the question of whether such failure
came through contempt. negligence,
or was involuntary through unavoid-
able financial difficulties.
Another legal novelty in Sweden
recommended by the Criminal Law
Commission is the treatment of those
who have violated the law of the
land in such a way that the offense
does not involve moral turpitudc or
personal dishonor.
imprisoned or sentenced to penal
servitude. such offenders shall simply
be placed in detention or “custodla
honesta." the Swedish term for this
punishment being “arrest." The per-
iods of “arrest" may vary f‘roni three
detained shall be cared for in institu-
tions especially provided for them.

STOPS TRIAL
0mm
Has Mme. Leoncscue Arrest-
ed at Frontier, Then Calls
Ofl' Proceedings.
An adventurous and mysterious
career was dramatically interrupted
when one of the ,most celebrated wo-
men of Bucharest. a certain Mme.
Leonescu. was recently taken from
an Orient express train at the Aus~
tro-German frontier station of $.11-
burg and arrested on a charge of
having defrauded her friends and
various business men in Bucharest
of 6,000,000 lei on the false pretence
that she had to carry out a big bus-
incss transaction for Vintila Bratanu.
the influential Roumanian Minister
of Finance. and that Mr. Bratanu
had placed at her disposal an open
bank credit of 98,000,000 lei. In
reality all Mme. Leonescu possessed
was 30,000 lei and a check book of
the Roumnnlan National Bank, be-
sides the unbounded confidence of
the persons to whom she told her
story.
Jewelers and proprietors of smart
fashion stores rivaled each other in
carrying out her orders. and when
she told them she was about to go
to Paris to carry out Mr. Bratanu's
order. which would bring her huge
they intrustcd to her con-
siderable amounts of cash in the
hope of getting a share of the ulti-
mate protlt. On the day of Mme.
Leoncscu's departure from Buch-
arest all her creditors assembled at
the station to Vpresent her with
flowers. sweets and other little court-
csics and to wish her godspeed. It
was a triumphal exit, says a. Vienna
dispatch in the New York Herald.
Next day. when some of the store
owners. whom Mme. Leonescu had
paid with drafts on hor imaginary
99,000,000 account. tried to cash
thom lhvy heard that hor account
was only 30,000 loi and the rest
mythical. Awakened from their
dreams of prosperity they went to
the police and a telegram sent to
Salzhurg brought Mme. Leonescu's
Journey to a sudden stop.
The final surprise came only when
he lloumanian authorities ordered
the suppression of all proceedings
against the mysterious lady and re-
quested her crmlitors to make a pri-
vale arrangcment with her because
she was in the possession of import
whose revelation before
a court would not be in the interest
of the state. The lioumaninn papers
got. a hint to hush the mailer up and
the mundane. circles of Bucharest
have a sensational topic of conver—
sation that is likely to lost them a
long time. Nothing is known as to
whether the Austrian authorities
followed the example of the Rou-
manlnns and dischargcd the accused
or not. .

base insinuations against a. dozen prominent New York women? Ofllcials,
say they do not believe it was blackmail and are seeking a. malevolent
genius who may be at the bottom of a widespread plot. But one of New

the writer of an anonymous letter of this description was a man who
felt keenly his inability to attract women or excite their interest. Suffer-
ing from the consciousness of this inferiority. he wrote letters plcturin‘
