GERMAN COMMUNISTS
GET STERN SENTENCES
Death or Prison for Men Con-
Il Uicted of Rioting.

BERLIN. May 15.-Communists con-
victed OF participating in the recent
riioting In central Germany received
sentences ranging from one hour In Jail
for disturbing the peace to death for
murder.
One man was convicted OF murder
and sentenced to DEATH and the trial.
proceeding on other counts as required
by German law, he was further sem
fenced to twenty years Imprisonment
for manslaughter, to ten years for rob-
berry. six hours in jail for disturbing the
peace and was deprived of the rights OF
citizenship for the remainder of his
life" Scores of the Communists We're
sentenced to prison for terms varying
from one to five years.
About 5000 cases were tried by spe-
cial courts appointed for the purpose
and which paid particular attention to
the prisoners who were of Russian ex-
traction, for the uprisings were charged
BY officials to be the direct work OF
Bolshevik agitators.
The majority of the men convicted
heard their sentences quietly, but some
young German workmen fell upon their
knees and wept, saying they had been
"seduced into the fighting" by argu-
ments OF clever men and that they did
not understand the movement was d.
rected toward the overthrow of the
Government.

LESS BEGGING NOW, BUT
MORE THEFS IN FRANCE
Crime Among Women and
Children More Than Doubled.

PARIS, May 7.-There is so per cent.
less begging in France than before 1914
according to police statistics, but theft
has increased in about the same proper
ton. The police explain this pheno-
menon by saying that the temptation con-
stantly held out to the gayly inclined to
enjoy themselves appeals to those who
cannot afford 1t as well as to those that
can.
Criminality among women and chill
dren has notably increased. Among a
hundred persons found guilty of crime
before the war there were twelve women
and five minors there are now thirty
women and fourteen minors in every
hundred convicted. Besides the temp
tation to have a good time, the police
say, sensational moving pictures have
lad a good deal to do with the develop
ment OF crime among women and chill
dren.
Cases of assault and battery and
other offences which are largely cred
tied to alcoholism has decreased. This
Is attributed to the suppression of alb
sinth and the abstemious habits &C
auired when war time restrictions made
IL impossible to drink at all hours of tho
day.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
WASHINGTON, Pa, May 1.-THE death
here to-day in hospital from gunshot
wound of James Edward McCaugharn of
Columbus, Ohio. one Of the three bandits
who conducted a running battle with the
police last Tuesday in which fifty shots
were exchanged and in which Constable
Milton Owens was wounded brought to
an end notorious yeggs long career,
according to Columbus, Ohio authorities.
McGaughran died from wound In
flicted by Otto Luellen, Chief of Police.
All three bandits were identified as
members of a gang who are wanted In
Columbus for highway robbery, burglary
and automobile theft.
McGaughran came OF n well estab-
lished family in Columbus, and two of
his sisters were with him when he died.
He refused to name the crimes for which
he was wanted in Ohio, telling the Off
GERS that he would die in the dark"
Columbus police assert that McGaugh-
ran was widely known two gun" man,
and that Paul Kelley, one of his compan-
ions. who is still at large, was the brains
of the expedition which resulted in the
street fight here. They bear out state
ments that the trio went to Pittsburgh
to get supply of whiskey. Following
their failure to connect with the
'whiskey gangs" the trio in stolen au-
tomoblle came through Washington on
their way back to Ohio.
Chief Luellen has not been arrested
because of McGaughran's death, and a
coroners jury Is expected to return a
verdict of justifiable homicide.

ducers stage these scenes under the guise

Major Charles Moss. writing in the

not wishing to pose as a moralist. l can
readily see that the filming of semi-nude
white women in India can only create
an entirely adverse opinion of the white
race and have demoralizing effect upon
the minds OF the native population.
Surely, the responsible authorities can
see that good, wholesome British films
are shown instead of the trashy Ameri-
an stuff to which attention has been
allied"
Another critic. George A. Lewis. sees

Another aspect OF the question which
has come up in view OF the present
trouble in India is the possibility of these

bad impression created in the native
mind regarding our morals"

scheme were 10 make application, re
ceive the money and then turn 1t over
10 the lender, but 1t now develops that
the discharge Is made void by the trans
fer. That does not mean that the Tor
mer soldiers will not get his bonus, but
does mean that the lender loses the har-
vest he had been reckoning on.
A soldier who has lost. mislaid or as
signed his discharge can obtain a service
certificate from the Federal Government
which he can use to obtain the bonus.
If he then elects to settle matters with
the loan shark that is a matter in which
the State has no interest, but the money
lender cannot compel him to pay a
bonus for the loan
The Adjutant-General and the Ameri-
can Legion also have taken steps 70 curb
possible activity of "shyster' lawyers
when the former soldiers start to make
out their applications. The Legion espe-
cially is interested in the matter and
will establish bureaus where the former
service men can obtain the best legal in
formation free. AS for the Adjutant-
General. his activity will consist mainly
in seeing that the applicants are not
made to pay more than the legal fee for
attestations to their applications

HARBoR SPRINGS, Mich. May 15.-The
steamer America. with a full scowload
Of wreckage from the resort hotel at

HYLAN Is TO DELVE
INTO SCHOOL AFFAIR
All Departments of City Gov
ernment re Subject to
Legislative Probe.

While the legislative committee for
istration has seized records so far only
from those departments which have
had such unsavory publicity as to in
dicate the possible existence Of matters
the committee will seek data from all
the other city departments just as soon
as its organization is perfected, Senator
Schuyler NJ. Meyer. chairman. an
nounced yesterday.
Senator Meyer expects the work to
be going full head very soon. The
committee will move into its quarters
at 80 Park Row to-day and begin the
assembling of a staff The Senator
expects public hearings to begin about
the middle of June, by which time
former Senator Elon r. Brswn, coun-
sci, will have cleared up his private
business.
The departments visited to date by
committee representatives are the Police
Department. the office Of the Com
missioner Of Accounts and the office of
the Borough President of Queens. all
Of which have been in the limelight
through the activities OF investigating
bodies or officials of one sort and an
other.
Where the committee will turn next
is a question which is interesting more
than one city department head. Should
the committee follow the course set
so far, il would appear not unlikely that
ba ~ a direction
of the Hylan appointed Board of Edu-
cation, the Finance Department, the
City Chamberlain. or perhaps the Board
of Aldermen. Regarding all of those
departments there has been talk of in
efficiency and wilfu oversteppng Of
authority in the spending of public
money and the Board Of Aldermen re-
Gently has been made conspicuous
through the Investigations of the Lock
wood committee.
The intimate connection of Leonard
NJ Wallstein with both the Lockwood
and the Meyer committees led yesterday
to the suggestion that an excursion by
the Meyer committee into Aldermanc
conditions revealed by the Lockwood
committee is far from improbable.
The charges and counter charges
which have passed between the Board
Of Education and Comptroller Charles
L. Craig. and between the Comptroller
and the City Chamberlain, none 9
which has been sifted by an investiga-
tion. are expected to occupy the atten-
tion of the committee.
II is reported that whether the Comp
troller anticipates or hopes for such
move he holds in the archives Of the
Finance Department a great mass Of
documentary data which the committee
probably would be permitted to scrutin-
ize without the necessity OF raid.

SOLDIER BONUS SHARKS
LOSE BY THEIR OWN GREED
Ruling Of Adjutant-G General Makes Void Discharges
From Army That Have Been Transferred
Original Holder May Get the Money

Almost on the eve of the distribution
of the State soldier bonus it has become
known that a coterie of loan sharks In
Brooklyn and upstate counties, who,
Initiating the pension discounters Of civil
war days, have been doing thriving
business with the ex-soldiers, now stand
to lose thousands of dollars. The grand
clean up" which they had been plan
ming has been made impossible by a
ruling of the State Adjutant-General,
which voids a discharge once 1t leaves
the hands OF the person to whom it was
issued
Soon after the bonus had been voted
by a State wide referendum last autumn
the loan sharks got busy. They found
that thousands of former soldiers Were
out OF work and needed money. Feelers
were sent out. and soon the veterans be-
gan TO appear prepared to accept almost
anything the money lender was willing
to give him. Men who had served from
seventeen to twenty months and are en-
titled to from S170 to $500 would sur
render their discharge to the loan shark
for $3.50.
1t was the plan of the loan shark to
gather in as many discharges as pos
