SPEEDY JUSTICE
CURE FOR CRIME
CONFREREES SAY

CHICAGO. March Up = Courts,
politics, police, states attorneys and
laws came in for their share Of
criticism at conference on crime
today Many proposals were received
from the critics, nearly all Of them
having to do with the trial pro-
cedlie. These suggestions We're Of
fe1td:
Speed up the process from indict
ment to convictions; restrict the fau
eilty with which bail may be grant
ed; give the trial Judge more er-
fcctive role in guiding deliberations
Of jur'as. enable the court or pltse-
cus:EH attorney 20 comment on fail
rre OF defendants to take the stand
in their defense and restrict the
power to appeal from a conviction.
In other words, deprive defendants
CT some of the immunities and priv
ileges under the present system.
Above the storm of disapprovaE
was heard the voice of Mayor vii
liam E. Dever asserting that Chicago
gets the blame for much crime thai
is not in Chicago.
Hoodlums, bootleggers and gang
sters, driven from the city by this,
police, live in the suburbs which
they make a base for raids in and
about the city, and the police are
powerless to stop them," he de-
cIared.
George w. Kirchwey, formerly war.
den at Sing Sing prison, and once
dean of the law school at Columbia
University, lamented the pressure
often brought to bear on states
attorneys in their selection of as.
sistants, and resultant weak prose
cution. If INSCRIPTIONS, he SAID,

perverts justice to further his ans

Judge Andrew A. Bruce, of North:

could not be placed on the courts
when q comparatively small number
of cases reached them He placed
the blame on the police for failure
to arrest and identify criminals.

which made possible Illinois most
sensational prison break, only to

demned men and Judge Frederick
De Young today granted it, and
along with it a stay Of execution
meaning weeks, possibly months,
more of life even if the sentence
Of The trial court should be upheld.

rences made possible the break from

crowded into the office of Peter M

him to death. They sent a runner
for a prison captain and forced him
to lead them through one of the
great gates as if they formed a

New York, Dec. 7.1R-Wood
engraving was driven out Of exist
cnce long ago as an illustrative art,
but John w. Evans, 72-year-old
Brooklyn wood cut artist, has de-
signed q picture which will have the
incredible circulation Of 1,75O, 0O0,-
600 copies within the next month.
The picture is Of Santa Claus and
his reindeer, and it is emblaxoned
on the 1927 Christmas seal, repro
duced for the first time from q wood
cut. Seals are being distributed by
400 associations throughout the
nation to raise funds, in the usual
holiday season campaign, for the
fight against tuberculosis.
Evans is one of two survivors Of
the old school Of wood engravers.
The other is Timothy Cole, IS, Of
Poughkeepsie, N. Y. In tn seven
ties, before the half-tone was per-
fected and photo-engraving came
into use, many Of the illustrations
in the. public press were created
and engraved by the same man, and
Evans was prominent among these
artists.
This ysar tks Nstional Tuberculo-
sis association sought q new design
for Christmas seals and consulted
Evans. He was still at his bench,
tooling reproductions Of fine paint
ings, for which there is still q de-
mand large enough to keep him oc-
cupied-for wood lends itself to q
softncss Of line that snake the best
wood cuts works Of art in them
selves, treasured in many q library.
To produce the Chris as seal
the original painting was photo
graphed on q block Of wood many
times the size Of the sell. Evans
then tooied out all the parts which
appear white in the finished seal.
Invented cen. -rie- ago by Chi
nese, who found that If block Of
wood were covered with ink and
pressed on sheet Of paper he ink
would be transferred to the paper,
wood engraving was made known
in Europe in the fifteenth century
and reached its height 800 years
later. Now it is rapidly becoming
o lost art.
