Chicago. Jan. q CSpeciaD.-The criminal reign
Of terror which has lasted practically unchecked
for years reached its climax in the f1endish ana
fatal assault upon Mrs. Franklin c. HOLSTER by
q young carpenter Richard Ivens. some days
ago. The inadequate policing Of this great
Western city has been and is in a large measure
responsible for the epidemic Of crime, but the
failure OF justice TO be swift and sure after the
commission OF crime and the capture of the
perpetrator Is the chief cause for the criminal
conditions existing here to-day. The mills OF
Justice in Chicago move exceedingly slow and
ponderously. for with dockets crowded with
thousands OF cases only five OF six judges are
available TO try cases. where nearly three times
that number would barely suffice 10 DO the
business Of the courts with even reasonable eA-
petition. With murder and theft going I'M

city in every quarter. robbing. smuggling ana
numbering as they WILL not only in dark ana
isolated places but on the highways and even
in broad daylight Fate favors the hardened
criminals here. and they not only do not fear
capture, but in the rare event Of capture they
have little fear Of punishment The long time
elansine between the commission of an atrocious
crime and the capture Of the perpetrator makes
him feel immune from punishment and pracu-
caIly assures him the chances are against his
conviction. because few in the community. ex-

ing been committed in the interim.
Under the system Of felony trial and punish

intends shall be thrown around the innocent. are
twisted into devices Of delay and advantage for
the guilty. striking illustration Of this Is
found in the recent trial Of GIhooley and others
hired sluggers Of law defying labor unions, in
dicted for rnurderous assaults upon non-unloh
workers Eleven weeks were consumed IN the
selection OF jury for the trial. the presiding
Judge permitting the defendants attorneys 10

rather than known criminal slUggers. The court
was apparently fearful that if the defence did
not have even more latitude than the law pro-

criminals on trial would thereby be enabled to

As result the defence had every advantage,

in the conviction Of the accused, was Of I'M

With Pomona entering upon the

Much interest is centered about the

PARSONS ENTERS
LOCAL COLLEGE
GREAT SPRINTER RETURNS TO
PHARMACY DEPARTMENT
First Attained Fame on U. S. c. cinder
Track and Later Became
Member of the Wiscon-
sin Team

The fact that Charles L. Parsons is
100-yard champion runner of the world
leaked out yesterday and caused con-
siderable excitement among u. S. G.
students. Parsons entered as fresh
man in the college of pharmacy, which
has recently been transferred to the
west end institution.
Parsons first gained athletic fame on
the University of Southern California
track, and when he defeated Ollie
Snedigar, the California 100-yard cham
pion, a great future was predicted for
him. Parsons attained additional re-
nown at the northern meet held several
years ago, where he shared honors with
Archie Hahn.
After leaving the University of South
ern California Parsons entered Wis
consin, and Immediately became the
center of national athletic attention.
Predictions were rife that he would
lower the record held by Arthur Duffy
for the hundred yards, but as the latter
forfeited his place among amateurs,
Parsons record of 4-5 stands su-
preme.
With the re-entrance of Parsons, the
Methodists are beginning to appear
confident OF putting another champion
ship track team on the field.

City Trustees of Santa Monica Appear
Reluctant to Spend the Bond
Money for Septic
Tank

SANTA MONICA, Nov. 6.-Because
of a general misunderstanding that is
said to exist in the community con-
cerning the position being taken by
the board of city trustees in not award
ing a contract for the building of q
septic tank, for which purpose $4,000
was voted over a year ago and is
available, the board of trade has is
sued a call for a mass meeting to be
held at s o'clock Thursday night at
the city hall. when the subject will be
discussed and reasons for the contract
having been held UP will, 1t is said,
be given.
The trustees have gone on record as
being in favor of using the money to
build a main that will connect with
the Los Angeles outfall pipes at Hyper
ion and the plan to rebuild the old
outfall, only a remnant of which re-
mains intact, under the Pier avenue
wharf, has recently received favorable
consideration.
The trustees have made it known
that they consider the septic tank
plan impracticable and that the out
fall system gives the only logical So
luton to the sewerage problem in this
section. AS the matter stands the
board. while admittedly powerless to
divert the money on hand, which was
voted specifically for septic tank pur-
poses, to any other use seems determ-
ined that it shall not be spent that
way only as a very last recourse. 1t
is said that because of the hope that
a loophole can be discovered whereby
the money may be lawfully put Into
the outfall proposition that action in
the matter has not been taken.

BIG RETURNS
Moving Pictures viii Prove Help
full Once Either Man Is
Matched After COM
ing Battle

Now that McCarey, O'Brien and
Burns have decided that moving pic
lures are to prove an all-important
feature of the catch weight bout
scheduled for November 2S boxing fol-
lowers are beginning to ask themselves
whether the films will prove a money
making venture. When it is known
that $4,000 must be placed to bring
the moving picture men to Los Angeles
it would appear as though great rev.
enues must be forthcoming to warrant
such expense.
There is more than one phase to this
picture business toward which both
O'Brien and Burns are looking for
ward One of the two so far as can
be judged will leave the Maud juno
ton ring declared a winner. What will
occur then?
America is not the only place where
the fighting clan hold sway, and over
in England the British boys are crop
ping up in numbers. All are clam
oring for a battle with the Yankee
heavyweights, whom they claim will
meet with short shrift when they face
cockney mixers. Jack O'Brien is nat
uraly more in the limelight now than
is Burns, so far as the English brothers
are concerned, and the Philadelphia
on Moirs, Palmers and even English
Jack O'Briens."
Defis are coming thick and fast
OBrien was insistent that the pictures
be taken and offered considerable of
an argument before McCarey would
agree. The far-seeing Quaker had an
eye to these British offers and looked
forward to the day when his arrival
on English shores may be preceded by
films depicting his victory over thf
dangerous Burns boy.
Tommy also dreams of victory and
is rejecting upon the fame which must
come when the wrath shows how he
sent Philadelphia Jack down a peg
Both are taking a chance supremely
confident that the battle can have but
one outcome.
Simply as OBrlen-Burns fight pic
lures, the films would probably prove
remunerative, but the great object lie!
i'm what they may be expected to bring

matched for what may be heralded as q
championship battle.
