MISSOURI OPENS
DRIVE ON CRIME
Officials, Educators, Civic
Leaders Join Campaign.
Archaic Procedure Hit.


JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, January
13.-Official, political and educational
Missouri wrestled yesterday with the
States crime problems at meeting
of the Association for Criminal JUS
tice, the first Statewide orga nizati
for crime survey in the United States.
Crime increase and proposed remedies
were analyZed in addresses by Gov.
Sam a. Baker. Attorney General \. T.
Gentry, Chief Justice David f.. Blair
of the Missouri Supreme Court
Chancellor Herbert :. Hadley of
Washington University, st. Louis, and
others prominent in the States civic
life
The gathering, held in the State
capitol, was told in a report by the
association that Missouri taxpayers
paid S9,lS3 ,637.16 for law enforce
ment in 1924 and that the criminal
records show they did not get a fair
return in protection on their invest
ment.
A report of the crime survey de-
clared that operation of the spoils sys-
tenn has undermined the efficiency of
penal institutions and recommended
that politics be completely divorced
from these institutions.
Passage of legislation to eliminate
unnecessary hampering technicalties
from the State criminal code and in
creased salaries and higher qualifica
tions for prosecuting attorneys were
urged by Chief Justice Blair. Gov
Baker said that more disciplinary
treatment for children by their par
ents is needed.
Our cumbersome, archaic and
ineffective system of criminal pro-
cedure, with the glorification of tech
nicality and Journalism which it fosters
and maintains was given by Chan
cello- Hadley as the principal in
fiuence for an inefficient administra-
tion of justice.
Attorney General Gentry outlined
proposed changes in criminal law and
asserted that crime will decrease when
punishment is meted out without at
tention to sympathy, political or per-
sonal pull, friendship, club, church or
lodge affiliations.

dress that Mr.. Paris rose to his feet

TERRORISM LAID
TO REALTY men
Night-Riding at Tampa Declared
Scheme to Frignten Ne
groes Away.
BY the Associated Press.

TAMPA, Fla. January 13.-Follow-
ing appeal for protection to the Tampa
city commission yesterday by negro
residents and delegations from three
negro organizations, city and county
officers today continued to search for
a reported band Of night riders, which
the negroes said had warned several
of their number to quit the city.
City officials charged that the
night riders have been acting under
the instigation of real estate oper-
ators, who would force the negroes to
sell their holdings to make way for
subdivisions.
r. c. Dolby, an aged negro. told
Mayor Perry G. Wall that he was
visited by the band, which, after
burning cross before his home
warned him to leave the city within
4S hours. They then left his place
Dolby said, and set fire to negro
neighbor's home.
Police were detailed to protect the
negro. with orders to shoot
to kill any one attempting to modest
him or his property.
After delegations representing the
Interdenoninational Minister'S AL
lance, the Tampa Urban League and
the business and professional men
had visited the commission, instruc
tions were issued that the band o1
night riders was to be rounded uI
and every protection AFFORDED the
negro residents.
Belief that real estate operators
were behind the night riders, investi
gators said, was based on the fact that
several attempts recently have beer
made to develop a subdivision which
have met with failure because of negro
occupants of the property.
