THIRD DECREE"
Gets CAPITALIST
WRITER'S PRAISE
Says Burning Prisoners
Brings Confessions
Rx MARTIN A. pILLMoN


Federated Press STAFF correspondent)
ST. LOUIS, July 16.-Police brutal
ity, for which st. Louis is noted,
received encouragement in an article
for McClures magazine by Herbert
Mayer, reputed former police reporter.
Mayer subscribes to the maxim:
There is more law in the end of a
night stick than in thousand courts"
After citing crime statistics to bolster
his case, Mayer says:
"Hampered as they are by lax
courts, lax juries and disguised pro-
scouting officers, the hard-pressed po.
lice have been driven to take the law
into their own hands.
"In some cases, at least, they are
using methods outside the law to
check the situation. Their methods
are illegal, brutal even, to be sure, but
what else would you have them do?
Rubber Hose, Lighted Cigars.
1.-THE third degree is simply tor
ture, usually administered in the form
of beating. Not only is the rubber
hose used on prisoners but punish
ment is given with feet, billies, any
thing that will not leave marks for so
long a time as to permit their use
by attorneys for the defense. In get
ting confession from luckless Fill
Pine who brutally murdered a young
nurse, the police used lighted ends of
cigars on his chest; / saw the marks.
Were it not for that he would not to-
day be on his way to the electric
chair"
1t is believed the article will be
read with delight by certain policemen
here. Numerous cases of police tor
ture of suspects to exact confessions
to crime have come to light. Several
grand jury investigations have either
whitewashed the brutality or con-
doned it. One grand jury report on
police third degree held for the al
legged right of the police to use such
methods as they see fit, to make Grim
inals fear the constituted authorities"
Never Used Against Rich.
Those who have made war on the
third degree parctice contend that it
creates the grave danger of innocent
suspects confessing and submitting to
punishment for crimes they never
committed, so that the unbearable tor
ture might cease. 1t uses illegal fiend-
ishness in the name of the law. And
it is used chiefly against the poor,
never against the rich.

tition is filed; s, that the petitioner
is able to and will support the immi-

migrant from becoming a public

This petition must be accompanied
by the statements of two or more re-

The department of labor has pub

How to Get Visas.
If the commissioner general finds
the facts stated in the petition to be
true, and that the immigrant in re-
spect of whom he petition is made is
entitled to be admitted to the United
States as a non-quota immigrant, or
is entitled to preference as a relative,
he shall, with the approval of the sec
rotary Of labor, inform the secretary
of state of his decision, and the secre-
tary of state shall then authorize the
consular officer with whom the appli-
cation for the immigration visa has
been filed to issue the immigration
visa or grant the preference.
All other immigrants except those
specified above as exempt or preferred
need only apply directly for a visa to
their nearest consul abroad. Those OF
this non-exempt and non-preferred
class do not need any papers from
America. The preferred relatives,
however, in addition to writing their
relatives in America to file the neces-
sary petition in Washington, should

C. 0. P. TAKERS
RUN AMERICAN
FARM COUNCIL
Outfit is Organized to
Break Rural Revolt
(By Federated Press.)

ST. PAUL, July 16.--An attempt to
break the strength of the farmers re-
volt in the northwest and to confuse
individual agriculturists into lining up
behind one of Wall Streets presiden-
tial candidates is revealed masquerade
ing as the American Council of Agri-
culture, recently formed at st. Paul.
Behind the thin disguise are visible
such pseudo-agriculturists as its presi-
dent-elect, G. N. Peck, who in every
day life is known as the president of
the Moline Pillow company, director of
the Merchants National bank of Oma-
ha and former member of the war in
dustries board, citizen much bedec-
GRATED by France, Italy and Belgium.
C. o. P. Banker Holds Funds.
The money bags of the organization
will be held by John r. Mitchell, for
mer chairman of the board of the Cap
ital Trust and Savings bank of st.
Paul and second vice president of the
Twin City Rapid Transit. The rea-
son he no longer technically holds
these Offices is that he is the Harding
appointee to the federal reserve
board at Washington. He is men,
Der of the Republican club.
Gray Silver, Washington lobbyist of
the reactionary American Farm Blu
reau federation, and Mark Woods,
who placed He'll an Maria Dawes in
nomination as the republican candi-
date for vice president, are also out
standing figures in the new organiza-
ton, which announced it's purpose as
being to discuss and plan Legislation
for producers all over the country.
Backs Old Parties.
The council plans to reward it's
friends and defeat it's enemies. It will
ask the candidates for office on the re-
publican and democratic tickets to
pledge themselves to a revival of the
McNary- Haugen alleged farm relief
bill, which was hastily put together
when the Norris-Sinclair bill, the gen.
uine relief measure, had no chance in
congress. 1t will try to confuse the
farm vote by designating the real pro-
gressive candidates who refuse to
sign such a pledge as enemies of the
farmer.
An act of the council which reveals
its composition was the rejection, by
a vote of IS to 4, of the farmers
equity plank calling for reduction in
freight rates. This was put forward
by James Monahan, representing the
Equity cooperative exchange.

LONDON, July 16.-There were 81
656 more industrial accidents reported
to the chief inspector of factories and
workshops for 1923 was 125,551, in
Guiding S67 deaths. The inspector
believes that periods of unemployment
with lowering living standards due
to poverty add to the accidents when
the workers return to their jobs.
Other causes assigned are the anxi-
ETY. of men to stick to their Jobs even
when sick in fear of being supplanted
by others. Then accidents happen.

First Preferences.
The next class, which is not, how
ever, exempt from the quota, but
merely given first preference ahead
of all other applicants, up to one-half
of each months quota, is comprised
of children between Is and 81, fathers
mothers, husbands or wives of Ameri-
can citizens, and also immigrants who
are skilled in agriculture and their
dependent children under 16.
The-attention of the public is called
to the fact that outside of the excep-
tions above mentioned, the only rela-
tives entitled to exemption or prefer
ence are those whose relatives in
America are fullf1edged citizens of this
country, and that the relatives of mere
declarants or immigrants are not en-
titled to any preference or any special
privilege whatever.
Early Application Necessary.
AS regards those immigrants who
are entitled to preference within the
quota, the quotas of the east Euro
pean countries are so small that even
the number of relatives who may be
given preference by reason of earlier
application will prove very small
number.
The procedure for obtaining immi-
grafton visas for exempt and pre-
ferred relatives above specified is as
follows:
Procedure Explained.
Any citizen of the United States
claiming that any immigrant is his rel
alive, and that such immigrant is
