GAS it is, Flagstaff is going to get
some big surprises just as soon as
this hotel is opened, for there are

Flagstaff that you will wonder why

the line for US to tell them that Flag

hotel.
"Flagstaff has endless possibilities
and with the type Of hotel you are
going to build here the prosperity OF
the city is assured.
Explaining carefully and with at
tention to every detail, Senator Ham
ilton answered all questions relative
to their contract with the new Flag
staff hotel company; just how they
would operate, stressing emphatically
the fact that they would not receive
a dollar of profit until all expenses
and the seven percent dividend on
the preferred stock was paid. They
would then receive fifty percent of
the surplus earnings.
It developed Tuesday night that due
to an exhaustive study Of the highway
conditions and because of his knowl-
edge of the tourist and commercial
travel in the state, Senator Hamilton
is planning to build a strong chain or
hotels at strategic points in Arizona,
making Flagstaff the first unit
1t is a well-known fact that the
Hamilton chain has a wonderful fol-
lowing among the commercial trav-
elers and very favorable connections
which develop tremendous tourist
trade.

and shocked at the tragedy. They
said johnson seemed nervous and not
quite right at Needles.
Mrs. johnson had $40 and bank
book showing balance of $130. He
had $42.
1t is probable that Attorney H. L.
Russell Of this city will represent
johnson at the preliminary hearing.
Johnson talked freely Tuesday. He
said he had two bottles Of whisley
when he and his family left Los
Angeles. He and Mrs. Johnson were
married in Santa Ana, Calf, Feb

was by former marriage. Her first
husband, named Paul, was dead Her

Johnson said he and his wife were
on their honeymoon, going back to his
old home in Missouri At the time of
her death she owned two-and-a-half
acre ranch valued at $2,500 near Los
Angeles. Shortly after he married
her, Johnson said, he took out two
$1,000 insurance policies on her life,

| one of the leaders in this country in
modern police methods.
| How far short the police of the
| greater city come from perfection is
amply illustrated by the murder and
execution figures for New York and
| London. For every 10 murders com
mitted in London. 100 are committed
! in New York. Seven out of every ten
murderers are captured, tried and exc
| cuted in London, while in New York
| only one out of every 100 ever pays
| the death penalty prescribed by law.
| The fame of Scotland Yard as an
| efficient, uncorruptible and tireless
police agency has become classical.
Crime experts are of the opinion that
until New York is able to pursue
| malefactors IN the successful and
systematic fashion of Scotland Yard
| or of the Paris police clever criminals
will continue To operate with i'm
punity.
Changes by Mclaughlin.
| Since the first of the year Police
Commissioner Mclaughlin of New
York has executed number of
! changes in the policy and operation
of his force. Some Of these are eX-
pected to go far toward heightening
these improvements are:
"a Abolition of the Special Service
Squad of 225 men, who have been put
back on patrol duty.
(2) Abolition of the honorary jobs
given by Commissioner Enright to his
friends and recall of all "P.D." shields.
(3l Rapid promotion for valor in
suppression of crime.
al Cooperation with the Federal
Criminal Identification Bureau.
90 Abolition and limitation OF
stunt" activities such as the band,
parade and annual field day of the po-
lice. The vaudeville features of the
department have been abandoned for
crime suppression.
| (6) Eight station houses reopened.
| ca Supernumerary clerks put to
| work patrolling.
| so Bulletproof guards provided for
motor cycle officers, and all officers
equipped with new high-power pistols
Private Agencies Aid.
Aiding the police of the United

ments are various private detective
and police organizations. One of the
| best planned drives against crime is
that of the American Bankers AsSo-
citation, which since 1891 has operated
a protective department throughout
| the country for the benefit OF Its
| %. 900 member banks.
Last year the association spent
about $4,000 on protection and in
vestigation of crimes. In 1923 and
1924. the peak years. the sum expend
ed was about S135 900. The amount

concerning crimes against the person
and property"
He suggested as one of the causes
for the spread of crime the fact that
Americas great wealth has led to a
display Of luxuries and extravaganza
which tempt any who is on the bor-
derland of right and wrong
Along with other experts inter-
viewed by the writer DIR. Hoffman at
tackled the tendency Of judges to give
short and indeterminate sentences lie
cited as a glaring example of this
shortcoming in the legal system the
case Of a prisoner in the Jail of I4ar-
lem County, Ky. This man stole 30
cents from visitor to the Jail and
was sentenced to 10 years. At the
same time a man was in jail serving
10 years for numbering woman.
Situation Serious.
ut is probably not going too far
Dr.. Hoffman said to the writer, Ito
say that we have 100000 murderers
fathers and mothers of children who
bear the suggestive influence of a
criminal experience on their char
acter. The 10000 people who are
killed every year represent not less
than $4,000 persons more or less i'm
mediately affected by homicidai
crimes.
1.-The extended publicity given to
many murder trials and the daily
chronicle Of murderous occurrences
must necessarily have its effect upon
our national life and character. 1t Is
obviously the duty of the Federal and
the several State governments to take
the present situation decidedly more
seriously than is generally the case
Dr. Hoffman suggested % number OF
other reforms which he considers nee
essary IL the crime situation is to be
cleared up.
Reforms Are Suggested.
The more important of these sug
geStionS follow:
az Prompt enactment of drastic leg
| islation prohibiting the possession of
| firearms and ammunition except when
duly authorized by a, competent au'
| thority. The British firearms act is
an admirable model.
~ Adoption of more effective re.
| str.ctions on the sale of poisons.
(3) Coroners' inquests should be re-
placed by methods of medical exami-
| nations in suspicious cases, and a
complete autopsy should be performed
| in all cases.
| (4t SdplIdI punishment SiiooIu Dc
| abolished as not an effective deterrent
| in capital cases and a hindrance to a
satisfactory judicial procedure.
6) It would be desirable to have
| more women on juries in serious
| criminal cases.
(6) The insanity plea should be al

(O Police protection should be con.

pOLICEWOMAN'S DEFENSE AIDED
BY HER 14-YEAR-OLD LDDAUGHTER
Others Also Back Mrs. Louise F. Kelly In
Denial of Negle of Duty-Charges
Are Dismissed

The spectacle of a 14year-old girl
facing the judges of her mothers
conduct from a witness chair in the
defense of Policewoman Louise +
Kelly Yesterday afternoon trans
formed a police trial board session
to "a scene in which memories OF
those in ear-shot of the girls voice
travelled back to the old days OF
"home work" and school closing
time" and the other things of child
hood.
On the testimony of this girl and
nine other witnesses. the police trlaI
board later dismissed the charges
against Mrs Kelly. Bertrand Emer-
son, jr.. attorney for the defense,
had refused to argue the case in GUS
tomary manner, allowing the testi-
mony of witnesses to speak for 1tseit
Five witnesses had appeared for
the prosecution against Mrs. Kelly
supporting charges brought by Lieut.
Nina Van Wrinkle alleging that when
Mrs. Kelly was supposed to be on
foot patrol duty on the night of June
II last and on the night of June "a
last she was in an automobile with
man not on police business.
Mrs. Kelly Takes Stand.
Mrs. Kelly had been put on as the
first witness by the defense attorney,
Mr. Emerson. She had recited her
side of the case, telling of her move
ments on the two nights. She stated
that on June 81 she left her home on
Cathedral avenue with her daughter
walking to Eighteenth street ard
Columbia road, where she met DE-
Jane b. Coates of 1850 Irving street,
who then accompanied her to Six
teenth street and Columbia road. Mrs.
Coates had testified that between 10
and Is minutes after O'Clock on that
night she had reached Sixteenth street
and Columbia road with Mrs. Kelly,
in rebuttal to the charge that at sos
o'clock on that night the latter had
been seen in a big red roadster at the
side of a. man.
Fifty witnesses and spectators sat
in the stuffy room listening to the
testimony. They stirred as the next
witness was summoned.
Call Stephanie Kelly" Mr.. Elmer
son said.
Chin UP, shoulders squared like a
soldier marching to battle, eyes
straight ahead, came Stephanie. A
colored stockings. A dark blue suit
coat offered a note Of contrast in at
tire. Her hat was Il snug-fitting lit
tie felt turban, set off with u green
jeweled pin.
Attorney Begins Gently.
Stephanie sat down. Her big blue
eyes took in the trial board. She
looked around once. Her lip quivered
just q bit. She eSsayed a nervous
smile at her mother. revealing a little
dimple on her left cheek.
Easily and gently Attorney Emer
son launched her on testimony sup
porting her mother. Folks forgot
about the case and thought of the wit
ness.
Stephanie spoke in tremulous
voice. She told of her mother being
at home on the night of June u tc
