 In studying local conditions. the entire district will be covered. The Tahn has been secured from Dis trict Forester C. H. Flory and will reach here from Kctchikan in about two days. Mr. Thane took the party to Thane this afternoon. On the arrival of the Tahn it will leave for several days cruise of the dis triet, covering particularly the west side of Admiralty Island where the power site is located.
 Impressed by Japan.
 MT. Thane returned from his trip to the Orient greatly impressed by Japan and it's people. He praised highly the ability and intelligence with which they are solving their gravest problems. The racial and national unity of the Japanese, he said, is nothing sort of remarkable. He spoke warmly of the manner in which he was received and the many courtesies extended to him during his stay,yand the opportunities given him to visit the manufacturing plants in which he was interested.
 Almost everywhere he went, he faid, he found people whom he had lsnown in Alaska. At the Imperial Hotel at Tokio, he was greeted by Pete Cowley, who was steward at the Perseverance messhouse for some time Mr. Cowley is now in charge of the cruisine department at theI Tokio hostelry. Mr. Thane said heI was given a surprise when, as he registered al the Imperial, the desk manager greeted him by name. The latter recalled himself to Mr. Thanel az former bellboy at the Wash inatan Hotel, at Seattle, where he had been working 10 get practical hotel experience. His Oriental trip covered both Japan and a large part of China.
 Stay Here Indeterminate.
 The length of the party's stay here Is indefinite. Ii will remain until il has thoroughly investigated local conditions and completed it's study of resources needed in the developments program under con- sideration.
 For the manufacture of ammon- ium sulphate, MT. Thane said, there is needed, cheap power, limestone, carbon and sulphric acid. All of thoee, he added, are either present in the district or can be obtained economically. Cheap power is the prime factor and that is already available at Thane.
 Regarding the arrangements for manufacture. MT. Thane said this would be done by an American com pany. The manufactured products, he said, would be handled by the Japanese firm, the two working CO., operately, the one devoting it's at tention to production and the other to sales.

l France. In Inc AS American cities where live one-fifth of the popula-
 tions there were 1,562 murders.
 All Murders Solved. Tn London there were IT murders. Only nine ef shesc were classed first degree. Scotland Yard ended the year with none of them "unsolyed. v During the same period Chicago had 1S7 recorded murders, and New York 260-tne latter city obtaining three convictions.
 The annual homicide rate per 100000 population in Hartford, Conn, is 1.4. It is 56.S in Mem phis. Tenn.
 ''The largest proportionate ratio of crime in our cities of less than 200,00G population" says the com mittee. It therefore may be con- servatively estimated that in this republic last year there occurred 1850 murders. To these may be added 6,790 cases of manslaughter and other unlawful killings, total ling 6.640 unjustifiable homicides."
 Engard is punishing murderers. IT. death penalty often is imposei, although prison sentences usually are brief compared to ours. In France. where crime Is less severe ly pun shed. | under is more f~e- quent.
 Eight states of the Union have abolished capital punishment. In five others it had been outlawed, hut now is reinstated Thus there were 92 executions in this country in 1919.
 But to prove that our failure to infiiot the daeth penalty did not proceed from an excess of tender ness" the committee points out. we successfully put over S3 largely at tended lynchings."
 Jurists visiting English and French courts on behalf of the Am erican bar reported several com mendable features in each. Justice was expedited. A criminal was tried, convicted and punished while details of his crime were still fresh in the minds of the public, and the horrible example" theory of punishment was therefore effect ivc.- This country is notorious for its long drawn out prosecutions, says the committee. Two or three years elapse between the crime and the execution, sometimes, and "a first verdict judgment forms merely the preliminary skirmish. ,
 Discussing the prospect of speed ing the trial of prisoners in the United States; of eliminating the disappearance of witnesses, falsfica- ton of defenses and loss of testi- mony, the committee concludes:
 "The first great work to be ac- complished in bringing about a bet ter enforcement of law must be the awakening of the public to clear sense of their responsibility for it. Improvement in our laws can ac- complish little unless accompanied by determination on the part of our citizens to have those laws en- forced.
 We recommend that a perman- ent commission of this association be appointed to formulate a stand ard code of criminal procedure for the States of the Union. It Is of first importance that such commit tee be composed of men who have had large practical experience in the criminal courts, and especial care should be taken to exclude mere theorists and faddists"

Jews to Be Frowned On
By President Coolidge

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Presi-
dent Coolidge, in a message given
Saturday to Rabbi Stephen S. Wise,
for transmission to the American
Jewish congress, meeting in New
York, declared his administration
would refuse sanction or tolerance
to any anti-JeWiSh discrimination in
the matter of immigration or any
other matter"
Rabbi Wise said the president
asked that the congress be informed
that he sympathized with it's gen
eral aims AID purposes and earnest
ly wished it Godspeed,
Mr.. Coolidge also declared himself,
according to Rabbi Wise, to be par
ticularlv interested in the efforts of
American Jews to aid in the building
up Of Palestine under British man
date as Jewish homeland.
The presidents statement relative
to anti-Jewish discrimination was
'nade, Rabbi Wise said, when told
that it was in Jewish circles that
the immigration restriction bore
especially hard upon the Jews, and
that in some east European cOun-
tries prospective Jewish emigrants
to America were not fairly dealt
with by American consular repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Coolidge was quot
ed as saying that he felt sure that a
careful investigation would reveal
that these alleged determinations
were unreal

HARVARD SAVANT QUESTIONS
THE PROPERTY OF REMOVING
BODY OF GEN. OGLETHORPE

dertakihg. Oglethorpe's activity dit
fered mainly from that of the others
inasmuch as he was the representa-
tive of the enterprise in America
whereas the others supported it in
Ell gland. All alike were Englishmen
and Oglethorpe sat in the British
parliament for 80 years.
Moreover, after Oglethorpe re-
turned from Georgia to England he
lived for AZ years at Crarlham, where
he died and was buried. OF the pro-
posed removal therefore, the words
OF the inscription over Shakespeare
tomb might justly be quoted:
"'Good friend, for Jesus sake
forbear
Ito dig the dust enclosed here.
"'Blest be the man that spares
these stones,
"'And curs't be he that moves my
bones.'"
"If it is desired in the state of
Georgia to honor it's founders, would
it not be better If the legislature or
some leading institution had a copy
made of the splendid painting of
that phianthropic body in treaty
with the Indians which L found on
the walls of historic mansion, the
property of an English nobleman?'
