In addition, it reported a discouraging dearth of official information upon the crim- inal situation. In this respect the United States is found to be far be- hind every other country.

 the committee reported, "our situa- tion today appears as bad as that of England, France, Italy and Spain as late as 1887, as portrayed by Lord Bowen.
 Our regrettable eminence is due in most part to crimes of violence against the person or property. In 1910 out of the 5S,SOO confined in our state and federal prisons, 15,- 316. or more than 25 per cent of all prisoners, had committed homi- cides. While of course this number includes the accumulation of years, this awful fact still bears it's own significance.
 "The evidence before us shows that there has been since 1910 a steady and terrible increase not only of homicides. but also of bur glaries and robberies. One state has in it's different prisons 3,547 in mates; of these 1,429 are guilty of taking the lives of human beings. ?

Crime Flourishes Because Criminals Escape Pun ishment, Says Great
 Legal Authority.
By ELLIS II, MARTIN, International News Service Staff

 Correspondent.
 San Francisco, Aug. 10.-The United States not only far outranks every other civilized country in the commission of crimes, but now there is less respect for law than in any place on the face of the globe and lawlessness is growing.
 Actual disrespect for the law is manifest in all classes of citizenry and crime flourishes because crim- inals escape punishment.
 That is the indictment of lawless- ness handed down by the special committee on law enforcement and presented at today's session of the American Bar Association.
 Lawyers gathered here from all sections of the country heard from Judge William B. Swaney, of Chat tanooga, Tenn. chairman of the crime Investigating committee, that one serious obstacle to the enforce ment of criminal law arises from the unfriendly attitude of the law-abid- ing citizen when called upon to aid in it's actual administration.

 Cleveland, Aug. 10.-A freeze out" policy toward the coal op- orators who declined to take part in the wage conference sched- uled for this afternoon was ap- parent in the attitude of John L. Lewis, president of the Unit ed Mine Workers, and the op- orators present.
 Lewis declared that if an agreement is reached it will be up to every operator in the country to take it or leave it. He also added that if they leave it, their mines will remain idle.
 The operators present have cxerted every effort to persuade tine insurgents to attend and now nothing is left to do but go ahead with the negotiations.

 Following the sanctioning of the strike of the four brother hood members on the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern railroad at Joliet, orders were issued by the brotherhoods' chiefs instructing the Rock Island employees to stay out of the danger zone." This order virtually means that many Rock Island workers will cease their work.

Chicago, H., August l0.-- Northern Illinois and Indiana industrial centers faced a seri- ous situation this morning as steps were being taken to end the tie-up of the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern railroad over which traffic was halted when the Big Four Brotherhood members walked out after troops had occupied the shops at Joliet,
 The peace conference between the railroad officials and the strikers is scheduled to take place today. Indications point towards retaining the troops at Joliet while at the same time the brotherhood members are firm in their as- sertions that they will not work until the troops are removed.

 Of the three congressional races the contest in the Sixth district was the most closely contested, l.. E. Sawyer, of Hot Spings had a lead of over 1000 votes with about half of the returns from the district complete. J. B. Reed was in second place and w. H. Evans had no chance of overtaking either of the | leaders.
 William A. Oldfield was re-nom- mated for congress in the second district.
 Randy Maintains Lead. | The result of the contest for Cir cult Judge in this district had not been received in Little Rock The Daily Press correspondent said: We haven't received word from that district in the Judges race" It appears that Judge Randy is safely in the lead over all the other three candidates. Judge R. E. L.. Johnson seems certain of defeat. ScAhPiOtC lOtul uo tHIo HUI ilIiS Greene, Craighead and Mississippi counties gave Judge Keck, of Blythe vile, 5,218 votes, and Judge Glad ish, of Osceola, 4,05S. Judge John son received 2,66S in those three counties. Judge Bandy's total in those three counties ran up to A. 962. Scattering precincts over the d stricts, outside of the three coun- ties named, indicate that the total vote will show a very close finish between Judge Neck and Judge Glad ish, some predicting that Judge Neck will land the plum.
 An unconfirmed report says that Judge K E. l.. Johnson was one of the two favorites for Circuit Judge in Crittenden county, lead ing his nearest opponent by 800 votes. It is also reported that he carried Clay county and that he ran strong in Poinsett. Easing their judgment upon those reports, the friends of Judge Johnson here claim that he will be choice with Judge Randy in the Circuit Judges race. Aside from those unofficial reports, however, it seems to be the general impression that results will show a very close finish between Judge Neck and Judge Gladish with Judge Johnson eliminated.

Of capacity to inductance used to re-
ceive the same signal, the sharpness Of
tuning can be varied.
The grid circuit of the tube is
coupled to the antenDa circuit by
means Of a few turns Of wire on the
rotor of the variO-cOupler. The tun-
ing Of the circuit is accomplished by
means of the grid variometer. The
grid condenser is the grid with respect
to the tilament, so that the only ca
pacity in shunt with the induCtance
in the grid circuit is that between the
grid and filament in the tube. The
shunt capacity gives the greatest in
ductance with very small value of
voltage variation on the grid for a
given signal in the antenna. Since
n vacuum tube depends for its opera
ton on the amplitude of the voltage
applied to the grid. it is desirable to
use only very small values of shunt
capacity in the grid circuit, especially
on short waves.
