BURGLAR REFORMS
 ON NEW YEARS DAY
Finds It Does Not Pay to Go on
 Crooked Path

New York, Jan. S.--Joe Goodman,
 loft burglar and safecracker, made a
 New Years resolution yesterday. He
 decided to accept the universe and with it the old, old moral that the
 tortoise reaches his goal before the
 hare.
 In fact, tho young year has brought innumerablc lessons to Goodman, and when County Judge Mclaughlin in
 Brooklyn yesterday, freed him on a policemans plea from an oserhanging charge Of burglary. a shadow that had increased the darkness of his three years in Dannemora prison, Goodman learned something of the quality Of mercy as eNompliiled by Captain Of Detectives John McClos- key and Acting Sergeant Harry Beck of the s5th Precinct.
 Sergeant Beck brought Goodman from Dannemora New Years Eve. Convicted ol a safe job in Manhat- tan and wanted for u loft burglary in Brooklyn, Goodman's I00-odd- mile ride from the prison, where he had just ended sentence to face another, had the Pilgrims Progress tied for first place. On tho way he told his story to Sergeant Beck.
 "He couldn't buck the systcm," said Beck yesterday, after Capt. Me. Closkoy told Judge Mclaughlin that Goodman's reform plan was sincere, and won the mercy of the court. "l don't mean the police system. That's 4. ,y,. n, lxtn md n,af IaNa ta tr..unl,ta I mean the system down below. Three years in Dannemora brought all the gossip Of the underworld 10 Goodman. He heard how Spanish Johnnie thon- orably deceased by a bullet) gypprd a pal in big theft, and he heard how the other kings of the game prey cu the little ones. And when he counted up his roll after all fhe risks of the burglars trade, he found it had gone to lawyers.
 'I can pretty near tell when man is through, and l told Capt. McClos- key Goodman was out Of it. l know. So docs the captain, and that's what made the judges uspend sentence. Yes, guess you call it psychology, but I'm sure he'll go straight.

Washington. Dec. 22.-The ex-
pressions Of cordially by represent
tatives of the American and Japan
csc governments were carried for
ward today by call at the White
House by Isaburo Yoshida, the ia
panese charge d'affaires, to convey
his appreciation of the statements
recently made by President Coolidge
and Secretary Hughes welcoming the
appointment of a new Japanese am
bassador to the United States.
The visit of Charge Yoshida was
quite unusual. not having been ar
ranged by the State Department at
the embassy's request, as Is custom
airy, and White House officials look
ed upon it as departure from pre-
cedent paralleling the action OF
President Coolidge and Secretary
Hughes last week in taking occas-
ion to comment in most friendly
manner upon the appointment OF
Tsuneo Matsudaira as ambassador
to the United States.
Mr.. Yoshida left his card ut the
executive offices with verbal express
sions of his appreciation of the presi-
dents recent statement. These were
conveyed to the President by White
House officials.
