 Right To Rule on Inspection

by Jht Associated Press.
 Manila, Jan. 1S.-The insular su- preme court in dismissing the man. damus proceedings brought by demo- crata party leaders to compel Gov ernor General Wood and other off eials to reveal details of the expendi- ture of the s5O0,0oo annual independ- ence fund, says that whether such an inspection should be granted lies en- tirely within the discretion of the governor general.

DEVIL DOGS WIN IN
 NAVAL MANEUVERS
''HOStile" Forces Capture Atlan-
 tic Forts at Panama Canal

Colon. Canal Zone, Jan. 1S.--Fort Randolph. the defensive work that guards the Atlantic entrance to the Panama canal on the northeast, is in 'enemy" hands today. So are the air station and the submarine base at Coco Solo.
 To the marines of the Atlantic fleet belong the spois Landing in small boats yesterday from the ''black squadron that represents hostile navy in the mimic warfare now in progress in the zone to determine the effectiveness of the canal in time of real war. the devil dogs" swarmed upon Fort Randolph and captured its "home" garrison of ITO men.
 Simultaneously, another landing party came ashore at Coco Solo and "overpowering" the 70 aviators and mechanics left to defend the air sta ton and submarine base, took over those works.
 Captures Are Easy
 Unofficial observers were Of the opinion that the comparative ease with which the marines solved the pApblNitlo aEA lNA NllNlli hl' ANobtiaH9 e maneuvers indicated what a real enemy might be able to do, although 1t was pointed out that there were only skeleton forces in the units of the defense system captured.
 In only one instance did the marines fail. A small detachment sent to seize" the army air station at France field was captured by the infantry unit guarding at that post.
 The landing operations were car ried out with clock-like precision. Under the cover of smoke screen laid down by the auxiliary black" fleet, 400 marines left their ships in 50-foot boats, slipping across limon Bay toward Fort Randolph. At the same time, another detachment of 500 men left their vessels for point south Of the fort. and while the garri- son was speculating as to the "enemy's' intentions, it found itself surprised and in trice eliminated from the problem of the day.
 300 Marines Take Part
 Three hundred marines took part in the operations at Coco Solo.
 The days work would have begun, earlier--perhap before dawn but the units Of the black fleet found it difficult to cooperate in the dark and a delay of many hours resulted.
 There was only one accident in con nection with the landings, as one of the small boats touched shore. near the fort, an officer fell into tho water.
 The official umpire accompanying the landing parties said the operations contained a lesson for the army in the possibilities and defects of the canal defense system.

CRIMINAL s
BANK BOOK
U. s. Official in London Ad-
vocates Making Toll More
Profitable Than Crime.
By CHARLES A. SMITH.
international News Service.

LONDON. Sept. 2.-To hit the
criminal in the bank book" by sci.
entific opposition, and to convince
him that his ingenuity would be
better employed in honest trade, is
the ambition Of Colonel Walter
Scott, honorary police commissioner
for New York City.
Scott is at present in London
studying international police prob.
lens and the methods adopted by
European police in combating the
criminal fraternity.
"Organized cooperation between
the police of all countries is bound
in time to eliminate the master
minds of the criminal world" Scott
said in an interview here.
Criminals operate internationally.
and it is only because the police
do not initiate their methods that
so many of them are at large.
I'VE are hoping, through the me-
dunn of the International Police
Conferences, the first of which is
to be held in New York in 1925, to
evolve a preventive system which
will put a stone wall in front Of the
criminal wherever he turns.
Contrary to the popular imag.
ination, the police are not a vim
dictive body Of people and would
rather get at the criminally in
clined before he breaks the law
than track him down afterward
and send him to the penitentiary
for a soul-killing term of imprison-
ment. Money is. perhaps, the
greatest incentive to crime. But
once make it known that. owing
to the vigilance of the detective,
there is going to be less money in
crime than in honest toll, in nine
cases out of ten the crook will
become an honest citizen.
Rapid strides in this direction
are being made in the intercity
police work at home. It a Pitts.
burgh crook sets out for New York
the New York police are informed
within two minutes of his de-
parture by means of wireless, and
he is promptly turned back on
his arrival In New York. It Is
this constant 'hustling' from place
to place that is going to convince
the crook that the game is not
worth the candle"
