PISTOL SERVES NO
USE IN COMMUNITY
So Declares Committee In Re
port To American Bar As
ISOLATION Today
Rx The Associated press.A

SAN FRANCISCO CAL, Aug. TO-
Declaring that the pistol SERVES no
useful purpose in the community to-
day." the committee on law enforce
ment included in its recommendations
submitted to the American Bar Asso-
citation one for the prohibition of the
manufacture and sale of pistols, and
of cartridges or ammunition designed
to be used in them, save as such
manufacture shall be necessary for
governmental mad official use under
proper legal regulation and control"
I'VE find that more than ninety per
cent. of the crimes in this country are
committed by the use of pistols" con-
tinued the report of the committee, of
which Judge William B. Swaney, of
Chattanooga, Tenn, was chairman
I'VE find that the laws prohibiting the
carrying of firearms or deadly weap-
ons are ineffective-in fact, that they
work to the benefit of the criminal
rather than the law-abiding citizen.
WHO committeeman Are
Other members of the committee
were Judge Marcus Kavanagh, Chic
ago; former Governor Charles S
Whitman, New York; Wade H. Ellis
Washington, d. c., and Charles w
Farnham, of st. Paul
1.-THE criminal situation in the
United States, so far as crimes of vio-
lence are concerned, is worse than
that of any other civilized country. >
the report said. Here there is less
respect for law. From all available
sources of information, we estimate
that there were more than $500 un-
lawful homicides last year in this
country; that in 1920 there occurred
not less than 5000. such homicides
and that in no year during the last
ten years did the number fall below
$500. In other words. during the last
ten years no less than $4,000 of our
citizens have persisted by poisons, by
the pistol or the knife, or by some
other unlawful and deadly instru-
ment.

Chicago's Loop Nol0 Enjoying
Unprecedented Building Boon,
By The Associated Pres..,

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. 10. - Despite
efforts of commercial and civic or
carnations fighting the congestion
within the iron circle of the union
loop, that historic center of Chicago
is enjoying an unprecedented building
boom. The boom. however, is not at
the expense of the outlying sections
and it is most noticeable on the fringe
of the elevated railroad circle.
Three great schemes" are held re-
sponsible for the most noteworthy
building ventures near the heart of
the city. They are the South Water
street plan, which will change the
famed fruit and vegetable market into
a double-decked thoroughfare with
the upper level devoted exclusively to
motor traffic; the Union Station plan,
and the Grant Park plan.
These schemes, which primarily are
traffic control and congestion relief
ideas, have received the cooperation
of the realty owners in the neighbor-
hood and they are promising to CO.
| operate by the erection of architecture
ally harmonious structures.
The Union station, which is to be
erected just across the river from the
loop, will cost about ten million dol
lars, but the buildings which belong
to the scheme will total as much gain
They include two giant freight ter.
minals and a U. S. mail terminal the
latter nearing completion.
Work is expected to start shortly or
the new Illinois Central station al
Roosevelt road. just south of the loop
The Field Museum has just been com
pleted TO the east OF the station. The
city is planning to build. just south o.
the museum, titanic stadium which
will be big enough 20 house the Olym-
pic games, and a syndicate has drawn
up plans for a great hotel to be called

group All these buildings will be o

The Chicago Tribune has an
nounced a contest for architects fol
the plans for a building to be erected
by the newspaper, just north of tn

On the last named spot a 10000. 900

BANKERS HOPE BROKERS'
LOSSES WILL Be SMALL;
FIRM FILES ASSIGNMENT

BALTIMORE, ND, Aug. 10.-There
was much speculation today over the
possibility of losses resulting from
the closing of the four brokerage
houses yesterday when their tickers
were removed by orders OF the New
York Stock Exchange.
There have been number OF guess
work estimates as to the amount OF
loss, but nothing definite can be said
in this connection, II was said, until
the auditors or receivers OF Smith and
Lockhart have made an audit OF their
Affairs and until an investigation is
made OF Kaderly and Finnan by the
trustee appointed yesterday.
Bankers generally are hopeful that
the losses will be small.
An assignment for benefit of credi-
tors was executed in Superior Court
today by Chas. II. Mueller, Chas. w.
Stout and Allan B. Stout. trading as
Memler and Stout. one of the four
stock brokerage firms which yester-
day lost its ticker through an order
OF the New York Stock Exchange.
Douglas Thomas was named as
trustee under a bond of $4,000. Meul-
Ter and Stout were today suspended
pending an investigation into their af-
fairs and methods of trading by the
committee on business conduct of the
exchange. Two of the other sus-
nended brokerage houses ara await
ing a similar investigation. They are
