PROGRESS MADE IN THE
 JONES MURDER CASE

New Haven. Conn.,, March g. Judge Gardiner Greene will ruie to- morrow on a question put by the de- fense at today's session of the trial of William M -Jones, charged with the murder of Mrs. Esther Hopcroft. The ruling will decide whether the vollin- tary statement of Jones before the grand jury is admissible before the trial jury. The. defense objected when 2 Frank C. Cowles, witness, started to repeat statement by Jones before the grand jury as to the location of his automobile in the barn where Mrs. Hopcroft was murdered. The jury was excused from the courtroom while Cowles completed his testi mony. which was to the effect that Jones had said Ne did not put his au- tomobile in the barn on the night be-
 fore the woman's body was found I.there. The testimony today by CowIes
 who lives in the house adjoining the barn, and by Medical Examiner NJ. M
 Scarborough dealt mainly with the finding of the body and activities ir the neishborhood at the time of the murder. Numerous articles found ir the room where the woman was kill. led were offered as exhibits

HOOVER READY WHEN
 REALLY CALLED UPON

New York, March 9-Herbert Hoover, in a letter received tonight by Ralph Arnold of Los Angeles, New York representative of the Make Hoover President Club" of California, declared he was not seeking public office, that his ambition is to remain a common citizen but that he be- should always be ready for service when really called upon"
 Asserting that while such pro- posa1s are, indeed great honor, I feel that l cannot alter the attitude that have consistently preserved" MT. Hoover's letter continued:
 q am an. independent progressive in the issues before us today. I think that at this time the issues before the country transcend partisanship. It IS we'll known that 1 was a progressive republican before the war, and think rightly; a non partisan during my war service. The issues confronting us are new and the alignment upon them has not yet been made by the great par ties, 1 still object as much to the re- acponary group in the republican party as 1 do to the radical group in tn edemocratic party. I belong to a group which thinks that the American people should se- feet teir own officials at their sown initiative and volition and that resent the manufacture of officials by ma chine methods.
 T hope to have the affection of my countrymen, but my ambition is to remain common citizen, ready to en- 1 gage in team play with any organ ization and leadership that has for it's objective the consummation and main tenance of great issues in the form. that believe are to the public interest l and benefit. l. of course, believe nj party organization, but it must be fol | the promotion if issues. not of men. am not a straddler of any issue, ! spend most of my time in agitation fo1
 issues that I believe in. It is tn. i privilege of all of us to hold our owr
 views and it is our duty to expres. them when called upon to do so. But
 no man can be so arrogant as to as. sume that he can dictate the issues tf | the American people or to the graa, 1 parties they support"

TREATMENT DISCOVERED FOR
 fMPULSiVE cRIMiNALiTY

New York, March 9.-The underIy- ing causes of emotional and impulsive criminality are no longer a mystery, and an effective treatment will soon be announced according to a state ment issued today by pr. Max c. Schiapp. professor of neurepa thology at Post Graduate Hospital. While no infallible cure has yet been perfect ed, he said, "an impressive percent age of criminals could be restored to normal and saved to society through treatment of the nerves and emotion al impulses
 More than 14.oo0 cases have passed under the observation of Dr. SchIapp and his assistants and, in his capac- ity as medical advisor in New York courts, he is said to have saved a number of potential convicts.
 From what we have learned" Dr. Schlapp said, fit is as outrageous to lock up victims of mental deficiency or of certain form of emotional inn pulse as it would be to penaIze a sufferer from measles or typhoid. In punishing the former class, society is blind to it's duty. It is as ridiculous as were our forefathers in their witcf, burning and similar practices now re- cognized as crim;nally absurd"

 The memorandum makes the follow

 be expidited by short cuts or by de-

 hampered by the dislocation of pro

 The civilization of Europe has in- deed been shaken and set back, but it is far from being irretrievably ruined. by the tremendous struggle
 through which she has passed. The
 restoration of her vitality now de- bends on the whole hearted cooper ation of all her children, who have it in their power to delay or accelerate the process of reconstruction. Tt is the hope of every government that improved conditions of livelihood l and employment may be assured te workers. Taking the allied countries 1 as a whole, the recovery of industry has been remarkable. Eighteen months ! have passed since hostilities termin ated. and the reaction which neces- sarily followed the tense strain of wal

 The memorandum reviews condi- tions in Europe at length. It esti- mates the increased cost of living 1T the United States at 120 per cent. Great Britain TO and France, Italy
