FOREIGN BORN NOT ONLY GUILTY ONES
Society for Science Advance
 BlaneS Americans

Philadelphia, Dec. 29 P-Foreign born citizens cannot be made the scapegoats of the evils of American l life, said Charles S. Pennoyer, of Massachusetts, in addressing today the law enforcement group Of the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science.
 "The records do not warrant our blaming them" he said. flor more than their proportionate share Of the crimes. The native whites are great CT offenders against property, but less against the person.
 "When the foreign-born offender gets into prison he is made to asso- ciate with the hardened criminal who become his schoolmaster in training for worse offenses. When he leaves prison he is not helped at all back to obedience and understanding Of service"
 Dr. Sheldon Glueck, Harvard uni versity. said that Massachusetts was the first state to provide for psychia- tric examination of prisoners indict- ed for capital offenses, and those 1n- dicted for any other offense more than once.
 "The principal object of this,' he said, lis to sort out those offenders on whom the expense and time of trial would be wasted and whom it Is inhuman to try.
 "On the whole the law has been very successful" Dr. Glueck said. Tt has reduced to a minimum the spec tacle of opposing psychiatric experts in insanity cases and best of all is the harbinger of a new criminal pro- cedure towards which we are slowly groping our way"

Secretary Wilbur said today that McClintic hadsindividually asked for confidential information from the department and had been refused, but that he knew of no request from the naval committee as a whole.
 we refused to divulge this infor- nation in court and we doubtless would refuse to give it to the com mittee," said the secretary. T wish it understood that this department has not asked congress for the ten cruisers which are being discussed. We are keeping within the provi- sions of the budget in this respect. We have stated, however. before the house naval committee that 23 cruisers were necessary to keep the navy on a parity with that of Great Britain"

Canadian Border Rules
 No Different Than Ever

Washington, Dec. 29 R - No unusual tightening of immigration restrictions along the Canadian border has been ordered by United States immigration authorities, Im- migration Commissioner Bull said today, but he pointed out that aliens always must be prepared to prove their right of residence in this country when they so out and re-enter.
 Unless they have some evidence to submit to immigration inspec- tors that they are legally entitled to live in the United States" he said, they are likely to have trou- ble and delay. At the very least they must be able to give informaI ton as to the ports through which they first entered this country so that our own records can be look. ed up to make the matter certain [

earthquake. It is known by every person that Japan automatically and respectfully disposed of the case where the sailor was killed, accord- ing to the custom usually followed by other nations.
 Tn my opinion this Japanese scare is now put forth for the pur- pose of exciting the citizenship of the United States so that pressure will be brought in favor of a new ship building policy costing s4oo,- 100000 or s5oo,ooo.ooo notwith'- standing there is an apathy in agricultural sections of the United States, I will gladly vote for such policy provided it can be shown that Japan assumed belligerent at- titude when these reports were made by Admiral Gleaves.
 Representative McClintic declar- ed that committee could not com petenty decide what naval defense measures are necessary as long as the navy department refuses to lay It's cards on the table.
 Public Deceived
 He also said that certain officers in the navy purposely deceived the American public over airplane bombing tests on the battleship Washington, and that in his opn- ion ono reason the navy desired ad- ditional light cruisers "lies in the fact that very few officers desire as- signmc cnt on destroyers."
 He predicted hattleships would never be nsed in another war be- cause of their slowness and their vulnerability to attack from the air, and asserted that if this nation wants to become the best armed nation on earth" 1t should complete It's aircraft building program.

JAPANESE PRINCE
 RIDES IN ON FOG
Yasuhito Chihibu at NeE York
 on Way to Funeral

New York, Dec. 29.-tR-After a perilous run through a dense fog that blanketed New York harbor. Prince Yashuhito Chihibu, en route from England to attend the funeral of his father. Emperor Yoshihito of Japan, and Stanley M. Bruce. prime minister of Australia, were guests of America today.
 The two noted personages were passengers aboard the Majestic which, with its TOO disgruntled pas sengers, was delayed off quarantine last night by the fog. They were taken off on a coast guard cutter and arrived on land shedding rain from their coats and sniffling at the choking fog.
 Every inch of the seven mile trip from quarantine to the pier at the foot of West Seventeenth street was filled with hazard, with the cutter lodging unseen ferries and other harbor craft. A salute of 21 guns was fired from Port Jay in honor of the prince.
 Prince Chihibu will leave for Washington within few days to pay his respects to President Coolidge before continuing his trip home. He will sail from San Francisco on January 3. The prince, who is stu dent at Oxford. had left England while his father was still alive and had hoped to reach home before he died.
 Premier Bruce, on his way home after attending the imperial confer ence in London, declared his visit is primarily to renew his acquaintance with this country as he said Aus tralia stands flor the same ideals and the same traditions and faces .he same problems which you have faced in the past"
 The 24 year old prince, second in line to the Japanese throne, amaz- ed his countrymen by his democratic ways. His greatest desire while here. he said. was to visit five and ten cent store. The magnitude of the business done rather than articles sold has excited his imagination. He also talked knowingly of Babe Ruth and Gene Tunney.
 When newspaper men were usher ed into his presence on board the Majestic, the representatives of Japanese papers, following custom, Rot Al hfy.<a presence, but were recalled by the prince to share in the brief inter view. He talked but few moments, and then handed out prepared state- ments. The statement read:
 T am hurrying home this time under most painful circumstances and I have no occasion, therefore, to have the pleasure of meeting the people of this country which has had a very important relation toward my own during the last 70 years in bringing it to the position we now enjoy.
 Tt would be pleasure to me if. the near future, I could have an opportunity of visiting the states under a happier circumstance"
 Prime Minister Bruce, who is ac- companled by Mrs. Bruce, will go to Washington tomorrow where the ad- nirals of the American fleet which visited Australia in 1925 will be his hosts at luncheon. On Friday he will confer with President Coolidge, and, 1t is understood, take luncheon at the White House and then leave for Montreal.

If they are found guilty in police court, this office will cite them im- mediately to show cause why they should not have their permits taken away" Frank T. Putney, prohibition director for Connecticut said this afternoon referring to the arrests of Frank J. Halloran and John Pajew- ski for violation of the liquor law in local drug stores. For the present this office will not act in their cases and If they are discharged in court we will not act, but if they are con- victed. they will be cited"
 Mir. Putney said his office does not consider the citing of pharmacists at all unusual, although all who are given hearings are not penalized, as some are able to make out a case. To arrest drug store pronrietors or employees and prosecute them in the criminal courts, however, Is not common in Connecticut, he said.

STOCK PRICES ARE
 A BIT STRONGER
Reactionary Movement Is Peter
 ing Out Today

New York, Dec. 29 - The reac- tionary price movement in the stock market. which has been un. der way since Monday afternoon showed signs of petering out late today when brisk demand devel. oped for U. S. Steel common, Gen. eral Motors. Marland oil and sev. eral specialties. There was nothing in the days news to explain the sudden change of speculative sen. timent although some of the buying mission houses which urged the purchase of stocks on the theory that the main purpose of the re- cent selling, namely, to correct a temporarily overbought position, had been achieved.
 Trade developments were largely bearish in character, car ioadings for the week ended December IS showed a decrease. compared with the corresponding week last year, and the weekly steel trade reviews reported that the production curve in the steel industry was down. ward, as against an upward ten dency towards the close of last year. While relatively firm money rates and the large volume 'of brokers loans also caused some un- easiness, there was a feeling in some quarters that reduction in York federal reserve bank was still possibility after the turn of the year. Publication of bearish stock market forecast by a large investment house and unconflrmed rumors of a change for the worse in the Mexican situation also were used as campaign material by spectators for the decline.
 Heavy buying of Marland and Union Oil of California was asso- ciated with merger rumors. The strong buying support developing in steel and General Motors led to active covering in other sections of the list. Many of the early losses of 1 to 5 points were reduced, or wiped out, before the end of the fourth hour.
 Wall Street Opening.
 Confusing price movements mark ed the opening of today's stock market, with losses and gains about evenly divided. Hudson Motors con tinued in demand, moving counter to the general downward trend of the automobile shares. Oil stocks were steady but profit taking .devel- oped in the dividend paying rails including Atchison and Baltimore & Ohio.
 The strong resistance shown by some of the leading stocks to specu- lative offerings in the early dealings encouraged a resumption of con- structive operations, despite fears that money rates might be frightened still further as the year draws to a close. High priced shares. particu- larly the railroad equipments, made the best showing. Baldwin quickly jumped 2 points and substantial gains were recorded by Pullman, U. s. Cast Iron Pipe. General Asphalt and Hudson. Case Threshing Ma chine was lifted nearly points by rumors of early dividend action or stock split-up. Disappointment over declaration of only the usual year-end extra dividend, however, accounted for 3 point break in American Ice. Foreign exchanges opened steady, with demand sterling quoted a shade above $4S5.
