Crooks Fails to
Stop Crime Wave
New York Police Commits.
sioner Asks 500 More Men
Civic Bodies Discuss
Plans to Help.

New York, Dec. 20.-"Raids OF
police fail to stop crime wave" Thus

scribed as the first day of "the most

history of New York"
During the day amid numerous
minor robberies was listed on police
record another murder by gunner,
who invaded the Seamens mission
on the water front and shot and
killed one man while stealing $500.
At roll call in police stations this
afternoon were read two orders that
indicate Commissioner Enright in
tends to push the roundup to the
limit.
Qestion Pedestrians.
The first command was for patrol
men to stop and question all pc
destrians iound between midnight
and dawn on unfrequented streets
and if their actions arouse suspicion
to search them for firearms.
The second revoked permission for
policemen to take half an hour for
meals while on duty.
Revocation of the meal hour per
mission came after the board of
estimate had postponed until tomor-
row further consideration of re-
quest by Commissioner Enright for
nearly 800 more policemen.
Meanwhile criminal courts cleared
their calendar for action against rob;
Der bands. All cases against burglars
and highwaymen were advanced and
heavy penalties inflicted in cases
where they were found guilty.
As the municipalities were pre-
pairing to launch their official often
sive on the underworld the Amer
lean Legion, Merchants association
and other bodies met to lay plans
of their own.

Veterans association after their ses-
sion discussed letter to Mayor
Hylan offering him "the services of
from 500 to 5000 selected members
of the legion to reinforce the police
force of Greater New York if re-
quired.
Steps taken in other cities to check
crime waves were discussed at the
meeting Of the Merchants associa-
ton, which appointed n committee to
study the situation in New York.
Mrs. Lucille Emma Brooks. who
is under arrest with John Cavanaugh
and Nicholas Loresch in connection
with the shooting of Police Lieu

Tariff Bill
Upto House
Opposition Heretofore Mani
fest Only to Slight Extent In
tensified by Filing of Com
mittee Minority Views.

y Washington, Dec. 20.-Presenta-
ton of the Fordney emergency tar
if bill in the house and decision of
ITS supporters to call it up for con-
sideration Wednesday was followed
today by expressions of open antag-
onism both in the house and SEN
ate. The opposition. heretofore
manifest only to slight extent,
was intensified by the filing of min
ority views by Representative
Ralney, democrat, Illinois, denounc-
ing the measure from beginning
to end and by decision OF the senate
democratic steering committee to
resist hasty enactment OF any such
legislation.
Chairman Fordney Of the house
ways and means committee, report
ing the measure, urged action, not
because 1t was perfect but because
it was the best obtainable under the
circumstances. The report declared
that remedial legislation was urgent
ly necessary to correct situation
which was described as rapidly be-
coming worse and likely to bring
ruin to the agricultural industry.

The filing of the cimrnittee's re-
port disclosed that the measure had
been made applicable for a period
of 10 months from passage instead
of the one year period previously

ed with the report estimates of the
Treasury department showing that,
on the basis of available import fig
ures, approximately $l30,000,000 in
revenue would be derived from the
duties to be imposed under the
measure. The commodities enumer-
ated in the bill now produce less
than S5,000,000 annually.

to the house, the bill carries i'm
port duties on commodities, which
