St Petersburg. Fla, September IT,.

SPEEDY TRIALS IN CRIMINAL CASES
 REDUCES NUMBER
President Chicago Crime Commission EnIightenS the Bar Association by Quot
 ing Actual Figures
By Associated Press

Cincinnati, Ohio, September 17.- The history of organized govern ment demonstrates that the speedy trial of criminal cases and the swift and certain punishment of criminals effects a reduction in the volume or crime, Edwin W. Sims. president of the Chicago Crime commission, told the American Bar association at its meeting here.
 "On the other hand" MT. Sims continued, increased crime follows closely on the heels of delayed trials and deferred punishment. In short, crime Increases or decreases in the proportion that punishment is swift and certain The speed with which crime is punished has a great deal more to do with the preservation Of law and order than the severity of punishment
 Criminal laws bear close analogy to natural laws. A child puts it's hand in the fire but once One ex- perience is sufficient It is not nec- essary that the injury be severe.
 Evolution of Centuries.
 Existing criminal laws in America are the evolution of centuries Of practical experience. As they have been developed they are invaluable. There are those, however, who at tack the theory of punishment and who, contending that crime is a dis ease, recommend and urge that pun ishment be abolished and some other form of treatment substituted. It is a grave mistake to in any way in- terfere with, impede or hamper the enforcement of existing laws which have been centuries in development, at least until the experiment has been thoroughly tested and found to be practical.
 Three years ago the Chicago As sociation of commerce appointed and financed a crime commission. It does not of itself undertake the appre- hension nor the prosecution of crimi- nals The commission limits it's ac- tivity to an investigation of crimes
