MDONALD'S LETTERS co
IN OFFICIAL POUCHES
State Department Grants Special Cour.
tesy to Noted Crminologist
Residina in Capital.

The State Department has granted TO
Arthur Mcdonald. a noted criminologist.
residing in Washington. a courtesy
whereby letters Mr.. Mcdonald has writ
ten to Great Britain and other European
governments regarding Mr.. McDonsld's s
plan to obtain international uniformity in
methods of studying criminal, pauper.
and defective classes will be forwarded
in the State Departments official mail
pouches.
In his letters, Mr.. Mcdonald points
out that while much has been done in
the study OF these classes, the work has
been mostly of a sociological nature.
Mr. Mcdonald believes the subject
should have a thorough scientific treat
ment. He advocates the establishment
of bureaus for the study of criminology.
II is expected that Mr.. Mcdonald,
whose plan is embodied in legislation
now pending before Congress, will have
cordial responses from governments in
Europe as his writings have won him
recognition there. He is an honorary
president Of the Third International Con-
gress Of Criminal Anthropology of
Europe.

the objects that might be considered
to cover the entire situation. We be-
lieved and believe that the measures
passed by the Legislature at this ses-

cere desire to alleviate the conditions
in this state. We deplore the neces-
mons and the condition that makes
of Colorado by the chief executive Of
the nation that the state Is derelict
in Its duty in the premises.

pressed satisfaction with the situation
after he had received Governor Am
mons reply. 1t was said by officials
in close touch with the President that
Wilson was greatly pleased with what
had been done after he had been in
formed by Governor Ammons Of the
work of the Colorado Legislature, and
that he hoped the state would assume
control of the situation in the near fu-
ture SO the federal troops might be
withdrawn.
shington.-President Wilson Sat.
urday made 1t clear that Colorado
must quickly solve it's own difficulties
growing out of the strike situation, and
that the federal troops now on duty
there would be withdrawn as soon as
possible.
He telegraphed Governor Ammons
telling him the state Legislature
should not adjourn without taking
steps to control the situation. and re-
ceived reply from the governor say
ing everything possible was being
done.

Members OF the Colorado delegation
In Congress were alarmed by the
Presidents telegram to Governor Am
mons, and said anarchy would reign
again II the troops were taken away
before the strike was settled. They as
serted that although orders for the
disarming of the contending factions
had been issued. only small proper.
tion of the arms have been turned in.
and that practically an armed truce ex.
lists at present.
The President will be reasonable
about the question, 1t was said at the
White House. but believes that under
the constitution he has no right to
use the federal troops in Colorado
when the Legislature has chance to
act. 1t was recalled that when he
sent the troops to Colorado he made II
clear the act was only temporary.
