Placing Crooks on the Defensive.

Chicago boasts of a crimeless Sum
day. That is something, even in nor
NAL times. 1t is particularly gratifying
now. In New York conditions while
bad, are better than they have been
Flying Squadrons" of motorcycle men
are keeping thugs on the run in Cleve-
land. In Pittsburgh known criminals
are being arrested on sight, and in
Philadelphia the carefully laid plans
Of Director Cortelyou are beginning to
produce results.
In a word, the tide of 'lawlessness is
being stemmed by the drastic policies
of the auth critics here and elsewhere
Crooks, thugs and hold-up men have
been placed on the defensive. Sixty
days ago they ran wild, did as they
pleased and then eluded the police.
Now they are being chased-and FREE
quently captured. Here in Philadelphia
we have a bandit court, and once con-
viction comes the crook faces practi-
cally lifetime sentences. No thug likes
that kind of treatment. What he wants
is few years at the most and then the
opportunity to prey on helpless men
and women again. He is getting what
aging to any criminal.
The new Head of the police depart
ment in Chicago gives the keynote to
the secret of the successful crusade
against brutal lawmakers in that city.
We've worn them out; it is the first
forty-eight hour period without crime
Of Importance in over two months"
How has this been accomplished? BY
keeping the crooks on the run. The
professional criminals have their
haunts. They have been traced to taeir
lairs and then placed where they can
do no harm. II is the policy OF pre-
vention rather than cure.
Years ago a famous inspector of
police in New York City made a dead
line beyond which no known crirni~
nal dared venture. We need more of
that sort of thing. Crime-even brutal
crime-cannot be halted in a day. But

JUDGE MAYER's DECISION

No legal decision recently has been
of such interest and Importance to
the aeronautical industry in the
United States as that Of December 9th
rendered by Judge Mayer in the Fed
eral District Court of New York, re-
straining Handley Page, Limited, the
Aircraft Disposal Company. Ltd. and
William H. Workman, from disposing
of aircraft planes, engines, and ma
terlals. The decision came as the re-
suit of legal action recently insti-
tuted by the Wright Aeronautical Cor
poration, owners Of the Wright pat
onts, against the foregoing defendants.
The temporary injunction granted by
the court has the effect of protect
ing the American aeronautical indus
try from the dumping" here of vast
aeronautical stores owned by the Brit
ish Government at the close of the
war and which are now said to be
obsolete.
In his decision Judge Mayer said
the Aircraft Disposal Co., was formed
in March. 1920, and a month later
purchased from the British govern
ment some 10000 airplanes and 10000
aoronautical engines that were surplus
material from the British war effort.
He also said that there was no market
for the material in any part of the
world other than the possible market
that might be made in this country.
He also recited the fact that a
hearing was held in Washington on
May 2s, 1920. by the House Ways
and Means Committee in connection
with bill designed to prevent dump
ing of this material Brig. General
William Mitchell, Of the United States
Army Air Service at that time de-
clarei the importation of these planes
would ruin the American aeronautical
industry.
''rhe defendants acquired these
planes from the British government
with their eyes open." continues the
decision. "and took their chances Of
their legal rights" They state they
have selected 1886 planes for the
American market, the selling price of
these planes is said to be $500, 900
and the defendants assert that the ex-
pense Of storage and other incidentals
are mounting high. and If a prelim-
mary injunction goes against them
they lose the market and thus suffer
great loss. Yet. this was their hazard
They should have known that the
plaintiff would move expcditiously
and diligently as it has. There are
then no equities in favor of the de-
fonda hts. and they must rely on their
legal rights"

general manager OF the Wright Com
pany said that the decision has given

had on hand at the close Of the war
thousands of planes and engines which
are now obsolete and which they
wished to dump into the United States
at prices not commensurate with the
actual cost of production.
There is one thing which each
American manufacturer wishes to
make clear: We do not want to
stifle fair competition. but we do
want our market freed from the sale
OF planes, engines and parts which
are obsolete and which are of war

In conclusion Mr.. Rentschler said
1T must be remembered that this
dumping process, If permitted to con
tinue in America, will be an annual
performance on the part Of foreign
governments and plane and engine
builders. Each year as aircraft, eng
ines and materials become obsolete
they will be sent to the American
market unless appropriate action is

Adventures OF

The False Santa's Trick.
BY Olive Roberts Barton

Santa Claus was telling the twins
the story of Blue Santa and how he
himself came to build his big chimney.

to the south Pole and lived in a
cave?" asked Nancy.

happen" answered Santa. And some7

birds and the kittiwakes and the
penguins, all of which live in cold
places, discovered the sign he had set
up, and told the children. And the
news soon spread all over the world
that the real Santa Claus was a blue
one and that he lived at the South
Pole. The worst of it was that the
swifts got to know of It"
"The swiftsi" exclaimed the children
What are they?'
''The chimney swifts!" nodded Santa
Claus. They are my messengers and
live in chimneys. How else do you
s'pose 1 would get the notes the chill
dren write to me?'
"Oh, we always thought you sent
your fairy helpers after Them" said
Nick.
well, what are birds if not fairies,
I should like to know" demanded
Santa, pretending to be surprised
'eThey are the best kind of fairies,
too, for they are allowed to let folks
see 'em. The rest of us. I am sorry
to say, are not"
Santa knocked the ashes out of his
pipe and put it in his pocket.
when the swifts got to know of the
Blue Santa Claus he went on, they
probably thought that l had gone out
of business and they took him every
single note and letter that the Riddles
had written to me and put up the

The Power of Public Opinion

Has Been Shown.
No more forcible illustration Of the
power OF public opinion has ever been
given than in the case of the propo-
sition to pardon the murderer, ]. j.

The Times published one letter writ

don, but that was on the grounds of
personal friendship and the fact that
Mendenhall had made a model pris-
oner and had been converted, and was
exercising a good Influence on other
prisoners.
But the people have not forgotten
| the awful crime Of which he was
, proven guilty, and the feeling was
we'll nigh universal that a lifetime Of
| expiration would not be too much. The
| sentiment against a pardon was
strengthened and aggravated by the
| prevailing uncertainty regarding the
| position of our cratic governor. Il
| the public had had any confidence in
the good judgment and plain common
sense of our chief official there

fresh in the minds of the people came
