clares CITY Examiner

Joseph NJ. O'Hara, guest at the
Hotel Comm odore, died suddenly there
at o'clock yesterday morning. DR..
Benjamin Schwartz, of the medical ex-
amner's Office, said that death was due
to apopleXy, and in recording it at the
East Fifty-frst Street police station it
was ascribed to natural causes"
Dr.. Max Shaweker, who had been at
tending Mr.. O'Hara, said, however, that
he thought his patient was the victim
of an overdose of medicine He found
veronal phials in Mr.. O'Hara's room,
and the circumstances of his death led
him to believe that Mr.. O'Hara had
taken more of the drug than he in
tended to.
He had been at the hotel frequently
recently. His brother, Edward O
O'Hara, of Providence, e. l., claim ed
the body and made arrangements fo1
the funeral. He said that Mr.. O'Hara

Daniels to Re;terate
Plea for Biggest Navy
Report to Congress Expected
to Contain Ne1o arguments
to Support His Position

From Tile Tribune'S Vashinutor Bureau
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Secretarv
Daniels in his forthcoming report to
Congress will reiterate with fresh
arguments his previous recommends
tions for the construction of the larg-
est and strongest navy in the world
it is believed. His recommendations
for additional appropriations for the
building program will be oased solely
on the belief that the American gov
ernment is not likely to join the
League of Nations.
In numerous campaign speeches, and
nc later than last week in an address
q. Norfolk, Secretary Daniels advanced
arguments that if the United States
did not enter the league it would need
the most powerful navy in the world
He also asserted if the country did
join the league the United States would
need a navy equal in strength to any
other nation

The instructions from Roberto V.
Pesqueira, Mexican confidential agent
IN Washington, to the consuls are
considered here to have resulted from
intrigue between the de Ia Huerta and
Obregon factions in Mexican politics.
1t is suggested that the instructions
were spite work in return for the non
recognition of the de la Huerta gov

known, however, that Senator Harding
had been advised of the attitude Of
the government here, it is suggested
that the commissioner he is said to

effect upon the moral restraints of the
community itself, tempting to violation
of law.
For years the administration of the
criminal law in many of our state
courts has been humiliatingly ineffi
cient and a real disgrace to our civil
zation The theory that ninetv-nine
/, guilty men should escape rather than
chat one innocent man should be num-
lshed has been carried in practice to a
'ldiculous extreme. The prosecuting
machinery of the law is of human CON
struction and must sometimes err in
undue severity and in the punishment
cf innocent persons. If we insist that
we shall not have prosecutions without
absolute insurance that no accused
person shall be unjustly dealt with,
then we must give up prosecution alto
gether and have no criminal law The
innocent man who suffers Injustice un-
der properly framed code of criminal
procedure is a sacrifice to a public
cause as clear as any martyr We
must recognize that the restraint of
CRIME is essential to society, even
though in securing it there NAV be IN
rare instances innocent victims.
Laws to Make People Good Futile
We are suffering from our enthu-
slasm in the devising of criminal laws
to make people good and to reach re-
suits that cannot in the nature of

failure to enforce the laws always adds

inG the outset of this new national
policy we are witnessing a demo raliza-
tion that calls loudly for a sterner
enforcement of the law. Illicit manu-
facture and dealing in liquors extended
through the community draws in its
train all other forms of crime. This
may be one of the reasons for the pres
ent dreadful status brought out by Mr.
Fosdck.
The time to give effect to popular
opinion and to have proper regard to
1t is when laws are passed, not when
they are being enforced. 1t is the
possibility of enforcing them that leg
islators should consider in enacting
them. Prosecuting officers are bound
by their oaths to disregard a public
clamor which opposes enforcement.

an article like this cannot do it, justice

By William Howard Taft

Every constant reader of the news
with the number of felonious crimes
that they report. Homicide. burglary
and robbery arc so frequent that no.
tice of them loses sensational value.
They prompt an intelligent observer,
however, to ask their cause and then
to inquire whether The offenders are
being apprehendcd and duly prosecut-
ed to conviction and punishment. He
can answer the second of THESE ques-
tions with much more certainty than
the first.
The statistics show, and Raymond
Fosdick has brought it out recently
though any examination of them for
decades past would show the same
thing-that a distressingly low per
centage of the crimes committed re-
suit in the conviction and punishment
of the offenders, and the percentage is
lower in cases of homicides and the
attempts to commit homicide than in
crimes committed against PROPERTY
we have prided ourselves on being
a law-abiding people, but we must ad-
nit we have lost ground in this respect.
we are always in a hurry. When we
near of a, crime we say that the man
must be arrested and punished Gradu-
ally our interest wanes. as the delay
incident to apprehension and trial
lengthens the distance of time between
us and Our first sensation. The man
whom he killed is dead or the property
which he stole is lost Other crimes
which have been committed since that
are the sensation of the hour, and pub
llc interest in respect to the first crime
lessons, and the public conscience in
respect to it is dulleI. After a while
1t is left to the convenience of the
prosecuting officers, and to the often
maudlln mercy of a jury, under the
appeals of counsel who make the worst
appear the better reason, and the prose
cution fails
Many Guilty Escape Penalty
The state legislatures by specific en-
actment deprive the court of the power
to aid the jury in it's deliberations to
neutralize the effect of false anpeal to
It, and thus bloody handed murderer
or bold and defiant thief escapes the
penalty needed to discourage crime in
the community and to which the public,
whose interests are always forgotten.
is therefore entitled. Delay in prose
cution is the great refuge of criminals.
The unwarranted distrust of the power
cf Judges to exercise rightfully the
function that they always had in a
common law trial in dealing with the
jury is precious boon to violators of
the law
The present wave of crime is doubt
less one of the sequels OF the war. Four
millions of men were taken from their
usual means of livelihood and their
places filled. Now they have been
thrown back upon the community and
a small percentage of them has been
stranded and are unable or unwilling

The reduction of officers will be ac-

Eni0ying His Vacation

Enjoying His Vacation
Senator Harding's horizon, which was
circle of sapphire blue water Friday,
was broken yesterday afternoon by the
palm-fringed ssndy coast of Cuba as
the Parismina passed through the Yucca
tan Channel on her way to the Canal
Zone.
The further the President elect gets
from Point Isabel, Tex. the more he
enjoys his vacation. The elements, his
friends aboard ship and the vessels
cooks are all in benevolent conspi-
rae to make his days at sea perfect.
After breakfast yesterday Senator
Harding, smoking q curved stem briar
pipe, as if to prove he had nothing to
fear from seasickness, paced the spot
less promenade deck until Senator Ere
linghuysen and Joseph Mitchell Chap
pie, editor of The National Magazine,
challenged him and Senator Hale to a
game of Switchboard.

ator Harding to Mr.. Frelinghuysen.
as that so? How sure are you ?"
questioned the New Jersey Senator.
About five golf balls" estimated the
President elect.
Wins at Shuffleboard
An hour later Mrs. Frclinghuysen re-
minded them that luncheon had been
waiting for some time.
This is critical contest; we can't
come now" protested Senator Harding,
and luncheon continued to wait until
the President and Mr. Hale were
victors, 100 to 50.
Friday night Senator Harding and
other passengers saw Charles Ray in
peaceful Valley" unreeed on a can
vas screen on the promenade deck. At
9 o'clock last night, the musicians hav-
ing recovered from their seasickness,
there was dance on deck, which was
Illuminated by strings of red, white and
blue electric lights. The men wore
white clothes and the women decollette
gowns.
Senator Hardings only worry evap-
Grated yesterday when he discovered on
deck large crate addressed to him and
marked thanksgiving greetings" In
side was a plump turkey gobbler, the
gift of the Harding Girls Club, of the
Morris Packing Company.
The President-elect will have turkey
for his Thanksgiving dinner in the
Canal Zone. Because he is travelling as
a private citizen Senator Harding ha s
declined the invitation of Governor
Harding of the Canal Zone to be his
guest.
The Harding party will sail from the
Canal Zone on November 90 for Norfolk
aboard the United Fruit Companv's
steamship Pastores.
