CHICAGO DEPLORES
DEGENERACY IN HOME
Crime Commission Names
Causes of LouIessness.

Special Despatch to THE New YozK HrRArp
CHICAGO, Feb 5.--The chief factor In
the Increase of lawlessness In Chicago
and the rest of the country is the de
generacy OF home life." The Chicago
Crime Commission. in its second annual
report, cited as responsible for the pres
ent home conditions the following causes /:
The trivial manner In which the as
sumption OF matrimonial responsibilities
is regarded by persons entering the mar
riags contract
THE hectic pursuit OF artificial pleas
ures and the mad rush attendant upon
the making of dollars.
THE degeneration Of our ideals.
The entrance OF women into spheres
OF activity formerly nlled by men.
THE fiat habit and tho moving habit :"
The comment on American home life
Is one of the pessimistic' spots in a re-
port which generally regards the crime
situation in Chicago as on the road to
Improvement. Murders are declared to
have been reduced 81 per cent. i'm 1920
and new vigor. TO have been given the
prosecution of criminals.
Although Chief Fitzmorris has been
in office only two months" the report
adds, "the committee feels that he has
made remarkable showing IN his ef-
forts TO regenerate the police depart
ment and to smash the operations Of
organized crime"

SAYS CRISIS Is OYER
IN READJUSTMENTS
Gov. Harding of the Federal
Reserve Board Sees No Dam
ger of Money Panic.
LESSON FOR BUSINESS MEN
No Room for Pessimism, He
Declares at Lawyers Club
Luncheon.

Business men of the United States
have learned lessons during the last few
months of readjustments which will
abide with them for generation to
come. according to w. p. G. Harding
governor of the Federal Reserve Board,
who was styled the Financial Bishop
of the United States" by Robert W.
Bonynge. chairman of yesterdays
luncheon at the Lawyers Club. Gov
ernor Harding announced his subject as
"The Proper Adjustment Of Credit to
Production and Distribution" but his
new theme was the return OF the bust
ness man to a normal sense of proper
ton and intrinsic value
"When mems minds are abnormal, as
they were during the era of extrava-
gance and speculation" the governor
said. deaf ears are turned to warnings
against undue expansion OF credit anu
peril awaits the financial structure OF
the country. Happily the acute stage oil
the reimbursement has passed. Men nave
aliphted from the stilts and their feet
are firmly planted on the ground. In 1act'
the danger of a money panic or collapse
was eliminated the moment men re-
gaired a proper sense of proportion"
Gov. Harding made the point that
while the United States is not ye.
through with readjustments ana mas
many unsolved problems, some OF whlcn
"are always with u.s." the important
psvchological fact Is that business Tusn
have a better knowledge OF what is oon-
fronting the United States, and possess
charts of some sorts to guide them IN
future. "In fact" Gov. Harding SAID.
business men may now look forward
with renewed optimism to year that
ought to be made one of constructive de-
velopment."
Contrasting conditions to-day with
those a year ago, Gov. Harding said /;
"One year ago the banking position was
badly expanded, not to say strained :
business was on stills, the country was
on the eve of a great readjustment with
no charts for a guide and no precedents
to aid in meeting unknown problems
which were viewed with undue pesslm-
ism: the reserve position of the twelve
Federal Reserve banks combined was
40 per cent. the entire banking position
is better: knowledge of the problems
that confront us is greater; assurance is
positive that the most trying and critical
stages of the readJustment are in the
background; business is rapidly ADJUST
ing itself to the new levels and there is
no further danger Of money panic or
collapse"
Gov. Harding quoted Chinese

proverb, Things are neither as bad
nor as good as they SEEM" Before the
readjustments We're started, it would
have been beneficial. he thought. If
business men had realized that things
are not as good as they SEEM" In
the period Of undue pessimism which
prevailed in the closing months of 1890
Gov. Harding thought things are not
as bad as they appear to be-" To-day
there is no room for pessimism of any
sort, but the concentration must be on
conservative OPTIMISM
Gov. Harding explained carefully to
the lawyers the difference between cap
ital and credit and then launched into
a review of what the Federal Reserye
Board had accomplished in the last
year and into defence OF the policies
of the board, which he said had been

LEGAL PROFESSION
APATHETIC, HE SAYS
Harlan +. Stone Declares Bar
Fails to Raise the Standards
of Admission.
URGES HIGHER EDUCATION
Dean of Columbia Law School
Issues Warning in His
Annual Report.

Certain comments made by Harlan
r. Stone, dean of the Law School of
Columbia University, In his annual re-
port given out yesterday, may be re,
ceived with especial interest by the
American bar. Dean Stone says. for ex-
ample. that the English bar Is superior
to the American bar largely because
English lawyers approach their profess
sion with better intellectual equipment
and moral background.
The Dean argues that the American
bar is distinctly apathetic toward legal
education, and that apathy threatens
the usefulness and influence of the pro-
fession of law in this country. The bar
has taken little or no interest in con-
structive projects for improving legal
education and raising stands ards of ad-
mission to the bar. There has been a
steady growth of unfit applicants. in
consequence. In this respect a contrast
between the medical and legal profess
sions is disconcerting to the latter. he
says.
"The American bar" says Dean Stone
'has been content to leave the prob
lens of legal educat ton and the improve
ment of the bar. through the improve
ment Of and better methods of bar ex-
animation, to the ministration of the
125 or more law schools Of the country,
good, bad and Indifferent. without the
active interest and cooperation which
ought to exist between an organized
profession and the educational institu-
tions which train its membership.
"A not unnatural result has been the
steady growth in number of those who
apply for admission TO the bar with a
wholly inadequate education, both gen.
eral and professional Very generally
both the bar and professional schools
have underestimated the Importance Of
the liberal college education as pre-
liminary to law study. Legal training
becomes more effective when it is found
ed upon adequate libertal education.
"The superiority Of the English bar as
a whole over our own, despite its inferior
legal education. is due in large measure,
believe. to the fact that most of its
members are educated at universities.
and they come to their profession with
an intellectual equipment and moral
and educational background wholly
lacking to the great number OF youths.
who in this country are annually ad-
mitted to the bar after they have COM
pleted a meagre high school education"
Dean Stone calls on the Bar Associa-
tions and the leaders in liberal educa-
ton to inform the general public sound
liberal training must underlie proper
legal education.

DEATH FOR MOTOR THIEVES.
Drastic Penalty Proposed I'm Mis-
souri, Legislature.

JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. b.--Represen-
tative McGregor of Linn county intro
duced bill in the House to make the
stealing OF n motor car n capital offence.
II the jury does not desire have the thief
hanged the option Is left of sending him
to the penltentiary for life.
The McGregor bill IL one OF many
measures introduced In the Legislature
TO place thieving in the same category
as murder. Present indications are that
this will be n bloodthirsty session and
the penalty for criminals will be made
more severe.
"A man who holds up another and
takes his motor car has murder In his
heart" McGregor explained. There
are many more motor cars than
horses stolen in this State. The Anti
horse Thief Association now and then
catches n horse thief and strings him
up; and why shouldn't the motor car
thief be given the same punishment"

the question of claims is that of al
legged confiscation of property of Ameri-
cans under guise of legal procedure.
Most of the cases coming within this
class involve oil properties, some OF
which are of enormous present or po-
tential value In fact. ii has been seri-
ously contended that all American oil
holdings in Mexico, of an estimated
value OF more than $500, 200. 900. have
been jeopardized by Mexican constitu-
tional provisions, laws and executive
DEGREES.
The legal questions involved have
chiefly to do with Article XNVII. of the
Constitution of February, 1917, which
declares ownership OF subsoil minerals
TO be vested In the national Governn.siit,
and with Article XIV, which asserts that
nothing in the Constitution shall be
construed as retroactive.
Under the old Spanish laws all mineral
wealth belonged to the Crown and could
be exploited only by license. When
Mexico became Independent of Spain the
Mexican Government claimed and exer-
cised the rights of the Spanish Crown
mineral code was adopted in Mexico
which excepted coal and petroleum from
the operation of the law. and in con-
formity with this new legislation Ameri-
can oil companies acquired title TO Mexi-
can lands and, as they claim, TO the
subsoii deposits also. No American COM
panies are operating under concessions.

FIRST WELLS ARE GOOD
Airplanes to Be Used in Nego-

the Far North.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
TORONTO Feb. 5.-Canada, which has
experienced sensational rushes for gold
in the past when the adventurers
from the Seven Seas followed the
mountain trails of British Columbia to
Rossland or the frozen creeks of the
Yukon to the Klondike region. seems
to be on the threshold of q new expert
ence, with the expected stampede next
spring to the oil regions of the Mac
kenzie River. Already the cities Of
Canada and some of those in the
United States are the scene Of matur-
ing plans by men who win go north
with the birds of spring to seek for
tunes, as have their predecessors for
many generations.
This time the bird simile Is not a
careless one, for already the airplanes
and dirigibles are being assembled to
play their part for the first time in an
adventure of this sort. Thus does the
world move and revolutionize transpor-
tation in a few years since the last
event of this kind occurred. OF course,
the great war brought the airplane into
its own. and Canada has hundreds OF
brilliant airmen, many OF whom would
gladly continue their experience In COM
mercial pursuits of this kind. SO far
three airplane outfits and two services
with dirigibles have been announced to
operate between railway points and the
Fort Norman oil fields. By the old
Iy,aa l,a
nearest city, to Fort Norman was 1,470
miles, the first 900 miles by rail to Fort
McMurray and the balance by water,
including one sixteen-mile portage That
journey required three weeks down
stream.
The fiiers of 1921 expect to make the
trip from rail head to Fort Norman in
eight hours by airplane, while the dirigi-
bles plan 10 make the return journey
In twenty-four hours. These estimates
may be somewhat rosy, as at least some
of the oil men with Fort Norman In
terests say it will be advisable for air
men to follow the more roundabout
course of the lakes and rivers, that they
may be sure of landing places II needed
IL is expected that the Canadian Gov
ernment will operate airplanes, and an
other service will be carried on by I'M
perial Oil. Ltd, whose successful OPP
erations brought in the only producing
well so far in the Far North. and the
existence of which is responsible for the
present oil fever In Western Canada
The Canadian Government following the
strike of oil by the Imperial last au-
tumn, passed an order-in-council re-
ducing the area OF land prospector for
oil or gas could stake from 1920 acres
TO GAO acres, with the additional pro-
vision that half OF the area must be
held for the Crown. as the state Is called

OIL, Limited, the largest Canadian COM

work 1t was only In August last that
oil was at length obtained In the well
at Fort Norman at a depth of 7S3 feet.
Many stories have been told as to the
volume of oil in this well. but nothing
official is known beyond the fact that the
flow was strong and the quality Of the oil
of the best. Almost Immediately the well
was capped and will remain untouched
until next spring. when the returning
