are good, and are effective, carried out
by an ambitious, self-respecting force
of men intelligently directed. The pa
troll force developed to its maximum eff
fieiency, detective force Of keen men
helped by everything that modern re-
search can do for it, and both these
methods supplemented by the exercise
of ordinary precautions on the part of
the people of a city-all this cannot
help making the work of the thief and
the burglar much harder. But even
for it fails to diminish the supply of
criminals. These methods make it hard
for the criminal to do his job; they
worry him, make him wary and ner-
vous, and often cause him to ply his
trade in some other city, but that does
not prevent people from becoming
criminals.
In this connection, often think of
the "swat the fly" campaigns. Flies are
nuisances. They carry and breed di-
sease. 1t is q wholesome thing to swat
them-the more the better--but there
always seems to be about as many flies
the next day and the next week and
the next year, in spite of the vigor of
the swatting campaign. And we realize
that. necessary as it is to give a lusty
whack at each individual fly whenever
we can reach him, we shall not do any
radical work in the job of ridding the
community Of flies unless we get at the
breeding grounds.
1t is so with criminals. 1t is good
to arrest and convict them, just as it
is good to swat flies; but we shall never
go far toward rddng the community
of criminals until we get at the breed
ing places. We must drain the swamps
of crime as they drained the swamps
in Cuba to get rid of the yellow fever
mosquitoes.

By Arthur Woods


Former Police Commissioner of Ne0
York City
1t is only recently that we have been
realizing that the work of the guar
dians of law and order does not cease
even when they have tried to do the
best possible with their uniformed
patrollng force and their plain
clothes detective bureau. These forces
are powerful for prevention. are
probably more powerful than any other
form of police work; but there are
policing cannot cope with. A police
captain with whom / was talking few
months ago about keeping down crime
in his precinct said the figures I
police were not responsible. 1t was all
INSIDE jobs" he said; and the police
can't be expected to stop that sort of
thing.
Given perfect patroling work, per-
fect (if there is such a thing) detec-
tive work, along the conventional lines,
what proportion of crimes would still
be committed? I discussed this ct an
inspector said it was 'tifty-ffty,"
meaning that one-half the crimes that
we're then being committed in his
district could not be prevented, even
if the regular patrol and detective
work were as good as they could be.
Can't Stop All Crime
This inspector had q district thickly
populated with foreigners. An old, ex-
perienced inspector, whose district is
largely residential, on the West Side
Of Manhattan, said he believed only
l. per cent of the crime in his dis
trict could be prevented by perfect
police WORK. The other estimates varied
between these two. If these two men
were right in their estimate-and they
were the highest officers on the New
York force-if from so to 80 per cent
would be committed in spite of perfect
police work along the conventional
lines, you can see why it is that we are
cudgeling our brains to try to devise
new methods, even if unconventional,
with which to fight the outlaw
Educating the citizen in self-pro-
lection is one of the principal efforts
we have been making along these lines.
We have published circulars: Glow to
Protect YOURSELF; we have had moving
picture films made and shown all over
the city, illustrating the fatal results
of carelessness in leaving doors un-
locked, handbags easy to open, notices
on the bell that nobody was at home,
which constituted, in effect, an invita-
tion 10 the burglar to make himself at
home.
Business Men Advised
We have advised with business houses
as TO the best methods of protecting
them, and have sent experts to inspect
and suggest; we have consulted with
various insurance people as to better
methods of preventing the very things
they We're insuring against. We have
sent policemen to talk to children in
the schools and to various groups of
employees. And we have tried TO make
each policeman q little educating CEN
tire in himself.
very large percentage of crimes
committed in large cities nowadays is
the handiwork of dishonest employees.
The situation has been aggravated by
the recent war conditions.
The only thing than can prevent this
or tend toward preventing it, is your
own scTupulousness in examining refer
ences.
These methods of crime prevention

Agents Cited by
Advisor Guilty
OF Land Fraud
Head of McAlester, Okla,
Real Estate Exchange and
Is Associates Convicted
Tribune Warned People
In 1917 Called Attention to
Big Promises but Meagre
Results; Aided Swami

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 12.-Roy Van
Tress, president of the McAlester,
Okla, Real Estate Exchange, and tif-
teen associates, charged with con-
spiracy to defraud by the use of the
mails in the sale of Indian lands, were
found guilty by a jury in the United
States District Court here today. The
jury deliberated seven hours.
The case was placed in the hands of
the jury at $3.50 p. m. yesterday, after
United States Judge Hollister had
spent two and half hours in reading
his charge.
Directly following the verdict attor-
neys for Van Tress and his associates
gave notice that they would move for
new trial.
The prosecution began early last
February, when the defendants were
arrested by postoffice inspectors and
the offices of the McAlester Real Es-
tate Exchange in Cincinnati and Nc
Alester were searched.
Accused of Defrauding
The prosecution by the government
has been largely centered upon the dis
tribution among the customers of the
McAleSter Real Estate Exchange OF q
tract of 41,000 acres Of land known as
the Buschow lands in southeastern
Oklahoma. 1t was charged that Van
Tress secured an option on these lands
after he found that he could not buy
enough land at the government sale of
Indian unalloted lands to fill his con-
tracts. The government charged that
the McAlester company perpetrated a
fraud on its customers when 1t took
$135 as fee for locating and purchas-
ing land, agreeing to act as attorney
and agent of the customer, and then
sold the land that it had bought pr-
vately at profit. Timber right frauds
were also alleged.
The Indictment against Van Tress
and his associates contained only one
count, but it referred to no less than
1913 contracts, which were made by the
McAlester Exchange with its Gus
toners. Approximately 100 of these
customers testified at the trial.

You have always thought of calomel

removing its unpleasanat and danger

liver-cleansing and sgstem-rurify1ng
effects.
The next time you are bilious or con-

One tablet at bedtime, with swallow
of water,-that's all. No Taste, no
gripping, no nausea, no salts. You wake
up in the morning, feeling fine, your
liver active, your system purified, and
with a hearty appetite for breakfast.
Eat what you please-no danger of sal

CaIOids Better Than CalOmel.

In Caloids, the new calomel prepa-
ration, is found the combination of
calomel and other properties for
which there has been a constantly in
creasing demand for years. Caloids
act directly upon the liver, but can
not possibly cause gripping or nausea.
This is because the calomel which they
contain is combined with other drugs
that do not interfere with the proper
action of the calomel, but which pre-
vent it from making you sick.
Caloids may be obtained at your
druggists. Thirty-five cents for a
sealed package of twenty doses. adv

EDWARDS PLEA
TOJURY in VAIN:
WIFE Is IN CASE

TALBOTTON, March 17.-"God in
Heaven knows that l am as innocent
as you are, judge" were the words of
J. Fred Edwards, proprietor of an
Americas barber ship, who was SEN
fenced Saturday to life Imprisonment
by Judge W. E. H. Searcy, Jr., of the
Flint circuit, in reply to a quetion
from the court asking him if he hat
anything to say.
Edwards, who was charged with
killing his first wife by shooting her
July Is last year, was found guilty at
10 o'clock Friday night, with a rec
ommendation to mercy. His attorneys
filed motion for a new trial
The case was called at l o'clock
Thursday before Judge Searcey, of
Griffin, Judge G. H. Howard, of this
circuit, being disqualified
Edwards was recently arrested at
Americas on an indictment returned
by the grand jury of this county. An
other grand jury last September failed
to find bill after investigating the
death of Mrs. Edwards.
The defendant, at the close of the
trial, made dramatic statement to
the jury to allow him to go free and
continue the support of his children,
swearing that he did not kill his wife,
but that she committed suicide in a TT
of melancholia.
The contention of the state was that
Edwards had killed his wife in order
that he might marry Mrs. Mccoy, a
widow, reputed to possess a comforta-
BILE fortune. The defense contended
that Edwards married Mrs. Mccoy on
advice of counsel and friends to save
her good name in connection with talk
in the community, and that he had
moved away from the community to
start life anew.
The defense also introduced expert
testimony to show that no one but
Mrs. Edwards could have fred the
shot that caused her death, taking
into consideration the direction of the
bullet in going through her head The
state offered testimony to the effect
that Edwards had visited Mrs. Mccoy
and that they had been seen together
on other occasions.
The state was represented by Frank
Mclaughlin, solicitor general; A. ].

nan, and the defense by G. c. Palmer,
