Reparation Views Of Senator,
az Quoted In London, Dis
credited Here.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Evening
Standard today printed a report
that United States Senator Med:n
Mccormick. who Is in London. has
a reparations plan whereby the
United States would cancel debts
owned by the Allies II France would
reduce the sum Of indemnity owed
by Germany"
II Senator Medili Mccormick of
Illinois has a plan for settling the
European indemnity problem. as
reported In .today's London Stand
ard, 1t Is his own plan and not the
American Governments, It was said
today at both the White House and
the State Department. when the
report was brought TO the attention
Of Administration officials.
So far as the Administration is
concerned. 1t was stated officially,
Senator Mccormick is in Europe
on pleasure trip. and he does
not represent President Harding nor
the Administration. When Senator
Mccormick left Washington he an
nounced he was going to Europe to
visit his mother.
Those familiar with. Senator Nc
Cormick's views on debt cancella.
ton expressed doubt today that the
London Standard had correctly
interpreted hiS views. The Illinois
Senator has always been a strong
supporter Of the policy Of collecting
Europe's debt to the United States.
On a former trip to Europe he en-.
gagged In somewhat Of a colloquy
with French officials. after his re-
turn to this country. over the fact
the French Government did not
balance It's budget.

administrative officials to be utterly
lawless behind the mask Of law en-
actment and law, enforcement.
THE liberty and security OF the
citizen are much more threateued
by lawless mobs and lawless officials
than by bootieggers. What we need
II q national conference not merely
on bootleggers but on all the forms
of increasing contempt and disregard
for fundamental law and for funda.
mental CONSTITUTIONAL principles"
Such is the general drift of much
of The comment reused in Washing
ton by the Presidents tirm attack
on anti-prohibition iawiessness.
Statistics brought to Washington
by persons who specialize in the
observing and recording of lawless-
ness have shown that IN the period
from September |, 1920, to June /,
1922, the number of persons MUIR
dered by mobs in the United States
was It's. The number of persons
tarred and feathered was 81. The
number of persons viciously and
cruelty beaten was 1877. The num-
ber of persons deported from their
communities without process of law
and In violation Of constitutional
rights was $50. The total number
of victims Of mob violence In the
period in question was along about
500. Not Germany. not Russia, not
any country In the world except
Turkey, has any such record Of
lawless mob action to look back at
with shame and to wipe out by fu-
ture repentance and Improvement.
Improvement, however, Is thought
to be distant when the chief answer
to the lawlessness Of the citizen Is
lawlessness by the law itself. ! SEN
ator Pepper of Pennsylvania have
called special attention to this point.
The effort to use the courts and
the effort to use the other branches
of Government to suppress the law
ful liberties Of the citizen in order
to carry forward the prejudices and
passions of the persons who hap
pen to be In office is an even
graver danger than can be found
In the excesses of mobs. A startling
instance of this sort Of danger IN
seen in the new proposed Illinois
State constitution which goes to
the voters of Illinois on q referen-
dunn tomorrow.
This constitution virtually abolishes
the immemorial right of the citizens
of English speaking countries to be
free Of arbitrary imprisonment be-
fore conviction Of crime. It. virtual
1y hands over to any judge in any
court the right to keep an uncon.
victed citizen in Jail at the discre-
ton Of the Judge. The character
Of this proposal has been power

fr. Levinson says:

Mr.. Levinson says:
"The new constitution takes
away--for the first time In the
history of our State-the fright of
the citizen to be admitted to bail
in all cases Except capital Of
fenses), and II leaves the power
of premature punishment and ifR.
prisonment to the discretion of
judges. Such procedure means
that a man who Is charged with
crime Is to be deprived of the pre-
sumption of his Innocence and Is to
be punished by Imprisonment before
he has been found guilty OF any
crime"
In other words, the law itself in
this case las in many other recent
cases) Is going to behave exactly
like a mob and instead Of giving
a man q trial is going to give him
punishment before a trial. The
spirit Of such enactments Is precise
!y the spirit which was evidenced
IN a recent pronouncement by q
California newspaper-the Hum.
boldt Times"-which. In discussing
the cases of certain men who were
charged with illegal acts. was able
10 make use of the following words:
What we are interested in is
action-not the legal status Of the
men,"
When the people who stand up
TO undertake the enforcement OF
law are interested In action" and
not In law, the last depth has been
reached: and the news that comes
to Washington from every part OF
the country is absolutely convincing
to the effect that in number!ess
communities that last depth has
long been reached. Representations
will soon be made to President
Harding that what this country
needs is a profound change Of heart
not simply 'on the point of some
one particular statute, but on the
point of lawlessness in general and
above all on the supreme point OF
what could be called 'lawless law"

at the clos ng meeting OF the In

Church.
Means Enormous Cost.
He described the dope vice show
ing how awful are its Jnsequences
through showing the number OF its
victims in this country and the
economic losses which, 1t produces
to the country, where a body OF
citizens variously numbered from
100, 900 to q 100000 throughout
the United States are actually re.
quired by their habits, to spend
from $3 to $40 per day to provide
themselves with their drug
This practically means that
from two or three hours OF the
economic life OF our country has to
be wasted in consequence OF this
vice." he said. 1t Is not only non
productive but is very demoralizing
and ruinous. The money for it
comes from the productive work
of the country. Whether the money
comes through stealing. robbery or
taking part in. other questionable
enterprises, It is a serious drain on
our economic life.
What is true Of the United
States is also true of Canada" he
said. zone Of the best authorities
estimates that Canada has In pro-
portion to its size as great and as
big and virulent a dope habit as the
United States has, and has awakened
to its problem ten years after the
United States has tackled the
matter with earnestness. The prob
lem in European countries Is almost
as great as that in the United
States. There Is scarcely an as.

England Largest Producer.
The speaker showed how through
out the world this feeling has been
growing until today there IL arising
from everywhere a demand upon the
British government that action shall
be taken in India to prevent the
growth Of the poppy. from which
opium IL derived. in the same way
that China for ten years heroically
extirpated the growth Of the poppy
in that great empire. England IL
the largest producer of opium today
through her Indian possessions, and
50 long as the drug is produced and
marketed in quantities greater than
the medicinal needs Of the world. 80
long will the smuggling Of these
drugs and their products-morphine
and heroin--go on.
The speaker then advocated the
need of public support for a bill
now being introduced into Congress
by Congressman Stephen G.. Porter,
calling for a convention Of all na-
tions. or of another anti-opiun
conference at some central point In
order to further RESTRICT not only
the distribution and sale Of mar
cotics, but also the production of
them through the growth Of the
poppy.

Bulldogs Early Lead
 Defeats the Pcnthers
Howard Defeats Rivals, 8-4 and EvenS SerieSEWalker Pitches a Steady Game Throughout
By HORACE RENEGAR

Hitting the Panther pitchers har& in the pinches, and getting the breaks of the game accounts for the Howard college Bulldogs victory over their time honored Panther ri- vals yesterday afternoon on Berry field. The Bulldogs crashed out an 8 to 1 win and evened the series, both teams having won one game.
 "Louse" Walker was effective for the Bulldogs, keeping the Panther hits well scattered at all tInvs of the game. The Panthers threatened sew eral times when men were on bases but infield outs and one time a snap py double play forestalled their rally.
 Bulldogs First Scores
 The Bulldogs scored two tallies in the opening inning, when Lackey. first man up, drove the ball through the infield for a single. Shores sacri- ticed him to second, and Crew scored Lackey with a sizzling bingle. Walker scored Crew on a clean hit, and at this junction Coach Charlie Brown applied the hook to Babe" Graham and rushed "Feedem" Oates to the rescue. Oates retired the Bulldogs with little trouble.
 
 ing the first two innings, but began to find the bases in the third and fourth. With one down in the third they placed a runner on first and second, but Lackey converted Millers' infield grounder into a double play.
 Garret Gets Double
 The Bulldogs scored again in the third when Pop, Garrett slammed out a screaming two bagger with Gaylord on second base. In the fourth, two more markers were added to the string when Lackey and Shores went safe on an error and a hit, and were brought in on Crews hit to right field.
 The Partners got busy in the eighth stanza and did a little scoring for Themselves. pushing over three runs. Rogers went out to start the ;n- ming, Brindley to Shores. Norton drew a walk, and Miller went safe at first on an error by Gaylord. Anderson forced Miller at second, Norton going to third. Griffin was hit by a pitched ball, and Oates scored all three men on a hit through first base that Shores failed to handle.' Rowe ended the inning by flying out to right field.
 The Partners scored their final counter in the ninth, when Stuart laid down a slow grounder down the first base line, and Walker gummed up the play by tossing the ball away al first after Stuart had gone safe. Englebert skied out to left field but Rogers delivered when he smaeked out his second hit of the day and scored Stuart. Norton went out. Brindley to Shores. and Miller ended the game by hitting the ball in Lac Keys hands on a line drive

, rest with the one who lands the first really solid smash At six different times in their last meeting there was chance for a knock -out between Herring and McMahon. There were six clean knock downs. and an ounce or two more steam behind any one of the punches that did the flooring would have meant knock -out.
 And that's what is expected to draw the crowds to the B. A. c. to- night, the everpresent chance that something will happen, and tAat thrills galore will be brought forth by the evening.

 Dummy Burlington who has fought many hectic fight at the B. A. C., will be seen in action again tonight. when he meets John McGinty of Pratt City in a six-rounder. It will be a come back" attempt for Burlington, who has not appeared in a fight here for about six months.
 Sometime ago. Harrington was in , jured in mine accident, having his right leg crushed rather badly At first it was thought that Dummy would be unable to fight again, but Harrington claims he is as good as ever, and Is willing to cut a few cap CTS for anyone who seems dubious about the condition of his prop.
