Dickinson, Aug. 27.-Installation

A Glendive contracting company is

Ever since its erection in 1886, the

The new system will save the tax
payers considerable money, says the
county commissioners, as we'll as pro-

1t will be about six weeks before

CHARGED WITH CRIME

Chicago, Aug. 27.-William Fahy,
regarded as one Of the aces of the
local force Of postal inspectors, was
arrested in his office in the federal
building late yesterday, charged with
being the matter mind of the recent
S2,OOO,OOO mail robbery at Rondout,
III.
Fahy Immediately was taken be-
fore federal judge and his bond
was fixed at $4,000. He made no ef-
fort to raise the bond and was plac-
ed in the county Jail at Geneva, III.
Watched For Weeks
Fahy's arrest came after weeks of
Surveillance, it was said, during
which he was said to have been seen
frequently in the company of men
suspected Of connection with the
Rondout robbery, and to have been In
communication with other men who
fled to various parts of the country
after they were suspected of compli-
city in the robbery.
Fahy has been instrumental in
clearing up some Of the most famous
postal department robberies. 1t was
through his efforts that "Big Tim
Murphy, former labor and gang lead
er, was sent to the Leavenworth,
Kans.. federal panitentiary Tor parti-
cipation in the $1,OOO,O00 Dearborn
st station mail robbery.
The arrest was made by Chief
Deputy United States Marshal Sam
Howard, after Fahy had been under
the surveillance Of Charles H. Clara
han, of the postal inspectors service
in New York, for three weeks.
Claim Strong Evidence
eve have obtained enough evil
dence to convince US Fahy was the
inside man in the robbery" Clara
han said. "He knew the movements
of the trains and what they carried.
We can show that he had leading
part in engineering the robbery, al
though he took no actual part in the
holdup."

MONEY WAS
MOTIVE SAYS
PROSECUTOR
Grove Reads From Private
Report of Defense
Alienists
HINTS AT DEBTS
States Attorney Continues
To Demand Death
Penalty

Chicago, Aug. 27.-(By the A. P.)--
Money was the "consoling motive" in
the kidnapping and murder of the
young Franks boy, States attorney
Grove argued today in continuing
his plea today before Judge Caverly
for the death penalty for Nathan Leo
pold and Richard Loeb.
He read at length from a private
report Of two of the defence alienists,
which he said had never been intend
ed for the states attorneys eyes, ex-
cerpts which he declared reveal
unwittingly the motive for the
crime.
"Money, money, money!" shouted
the prosecutor. 1T is all through the
case, and l will show you later how
they needed it to pay gambling
debts which they had incurred.'
Form the outset the explosive ar
guments of the prosecutor drew OBJ
jections of the defense counsel, and
the ensuing wrangle on technical
tiles called from Chief Justice Cav
erly, to whom falls the duty of fix
ing the sentence, the quiet and firm
declaration that the court will not
consider any arguments outside the
records.
Mr.. Grove, visibly irritated by the
objections of the defense said "They
have been quoting poetry and phil
osophy for four days; l can't see
why we can't have little citation
from the law. We have heard every
thing from the books and great
deal that never was in the books,
brought by the three wise men of
the East" said Mr.. Grove.
He then endeavored again to des-
cribe the court proceedings in a
case which the defense was judged
by an alienist to be the victim of
newly discovered mental disease"
He was checked in this by the
defenses objection |and the court
ruling, but not before he had lodged
the charge this too, is a newly dis
covered disease, brought by the three
wise men of the east, after every
avenue of escape had been sealed.
They say Loeb had read detective
stories when boy, and that this
was bad sign.
swell, l remember that when /
was boy used to crawl under the
bed to read Nick Carter stories;
that was not bad sign. That was
normal"

plank. Try it and see how easy it
is.
Trying the driving stunts through
a zig gag course between stakes; try

back up just as straight as you can;
see how quickly you can change
tires; try and walk the chalk mark

stunts to be pulled off next Satur-
day. Have a lot of fun doing them
and have a lot more fun watching
the others try to do them.
Be sure and get in the big parade

BY Charles p. Stewart
NEA Service Writer


Washington, Aug. 27-Law and law
things.
American law, as law, as improv-
ing, according to Attorney General
Harlan F. Stone.
But is it enforced, respected?
The public thinks not, the attor-
ney general admits.
Is the public right?
The attorney general is afraid so,
at the present time at any rate, for
he says "the actual administration
of justice in these United States is
in period of decline which began
before the war and was greatly ac-
celebrated by it."
Be it said, however, that the at
torney general is not pessimist.
Having faith in the American bar
and the American people, he believes
we will pass soon into period of
improvement.
But why don't we do something
now, with a view to improvement
We do, says the attorney general,
but not the right thing. We doctor
symptoms, not the disease.
Suppose law enforcement goe
wrong, through official incompet-
ence. corruption or both.
There are causes for incompetence
and corruption.
Do we remove the causes? No,
we remove the officials; maybe pun
ish them.
Or, if lawyers take hand in at
tempting to reform, what's their
method?
More law, more procedure-better
perhaps.
But in either case-symptoms, not
the disease, are treated.
what is the disease ?" asked
the attorney general.
"For one thing, politics." he an
swered.
"The prosecutors job ought to be
taken out of politics. Why should
it be. political, any more than a
judge's?"
Would you have prosecutors ap-
pointed?"
Maybe not, but I'd make their
terms longer, anyway-during good
behavior, even."
The attorney general dwelt on the
weaknesses of prosecutors offices;
showing how politics affects them
not so much money, but political in.
fluence. He pointed to their lack OF
system, to the laxness, slackness OF
their methods.
but isn't politics just a reflection
OF public opinion, anyway"
