Southwest, it runs Embarrassed, an

CRIME PREVENTION
FARLEY DISCUSSED
Department of Justice Has
National Gathering Under
Consideration.

ACCESSIBILITY of calling national
conference on prevention of crime is
under consideration at the Department
of Justice. The matter has also been
brought to the attention of President
Coolidge.
The exact nature of questions which
such a conference would consider and
the agencies and organizations to be
invited should the Government itself
decide to sponsor such gathering
have not been decided. as the whole
subject is still in a tentative status.
Committee at Work.
II is presumed. however, that if the
administration goes through with the
proposed conference noted crlmlnolo-
gists, persons actively engaged IN pre-
vention of crime and organizations
responsible for its detection would be
invited.
Activity here for crime prevention
meeting recalls the 1925 convention
of the American Prison Association. at
which committee was appointed TO
see what could be done to bring to-
gether all national organizations in
any way related to the study of crime
and criminals The committee, headed
by Amos Butler of Indianapolis was
reappointed in 1926.
Tentative List Arranged
Upon the success which attended
the Roosevelt conference on children
when MIR. Roosevelt was in the White
House, the committee proposed ma
tional crime conference to President
coolidge, who professed deep interest
and suggested that the details be
taken up with Mr.. Sargent.

ney General, which includes a com.

Some of tho latter remain today as reminders of the towns economic golden age. There are also evidences ot more recent economic casualties: for County Galway has steadily de- creased ln population In recent years, and several mills which formerly produced goods for local consunp- tioE now stand unused.

 Galway Is the gateway for summer tourists journeying to tho pictur- esque peninsula of Connemara which lies to the northwest. This land Of lakes. rocks and granite mountains is one of tho most primi- tive parts of Ireland and one of the most severely beautiful.

This is one Of the strongholds Of the old Gaelic language and some of the inhabitants know no English.

SPANISH TONGUE
 LARGELY USED
One Of Most Important in the
 World

Washington, D. C.. April a. Establishment of q center for Span- ish interests in New York empha- sizes tho fact that Spanish speak Ing people constitute one of the great language groups of tho world, wing with German-speaking md Russian-speaking peoples for the place next to the English speaking peoples. the acknowledged leaders in number.
 The New World Largely Spanish
 The adventurers and gold-seekers who rushed westward in tho foot. steps of Columbus had soon carved out for Spain all the West Indies, most of South America and large areas in Central and North Amer ica. The island of Hispaniola. now called both Santo Domingo and Haiti, was tho focus from which Spanish influence radiated. Jamaica and Cuba soon came under Spain's wing, then the Isthmus of Panama, Florida. and the coast of Argentina, were reached in 15l3. The same year Balboa crossed the Isthmus waded into the Pacific, and claimed IL and all Its bounding lands for Spain. Six years later the Spaniards sent Magellan across this newly found ocean. He found little land in crossing, but did set tip q Span ish claim to the Philippines. which Spain later made a colony.
 In the mean time Spanish control was spreading in the New World. The conquest of Mexico began in 15l9. Panama City was founded the same year and became a starting point for expeditions north and south along the shores of the Pa ciflc. Peru was invaded in 1882 and Chile came at least partly under control soon after. The California coast was explored in l54: and land expeditions went about the same time into regions that arc now New Mexico, Texas. Arizona and even Colorado. Settlements had previous ly been established in Venezuela ana COlOmD Dla on the caribbean coast of South America.
 Old World Conquests Little Affected
 At the same time Spain was the great power of Europe controlling the Low Countries, much of Italy, and later Portugal with all her eastern empire. But over all these European and Eastern portions of he' empire Spain had only tenuous control. and when The empire broke up they passed on to new or old sovereignties, little colored by Span fish culture. Spain made her deepest impression on her New World ter ritories and on the Philippines. These regions fell heir to the Span. ish language, religion, law, customs

GALWAY WESTERN

Plans Made to Have New Ocean
 Terminal

Washington. D. C., April 2o--Irish hopes that the west coast of Ireland, which faces America, may become the eastern terminus Of much shor- tened ocean voyage between Amer lea and Europe, are revived with the announcement that a German shipping companys steamers from Halifax will soon begin calling at Galway. most important Of Ireland S west coast ports.
 Erin's Spanish City"
 Galway Is now only q relatively small town, differing little from oth- CT Irish communities of 12 or 15 thousand inhabitants. Nest of the ships 1t sees are British and French fishing traWlers-the same trawlers that nave almost ruined the Galway fishermen. for their little sailboats find the machine competition Of the steamers too much for them. Time was, however, when Galway was an important emporium of trade. From the 18th to the 17th century the port had almost a monopoly of the Span ish trade and Spanish as well as French ships were continually In its harbor.
 So important was this commerce that a Spanish colony grew up In the town and colored it's life. Galway has often been referred 10 as Ireland $ spanish City, Some houses still standing have patios. or open courts with gates to the street, type of architecture distinctly non-lrish. The fishing section Of Galway, the claddagh.' was once the stronghold Of Spanish influence. and was gov erned separately. It is still the most picturesque part of the town.
 Another touch with Spain came when part of the great Armada was wrecked off the Galway shore in ljSS. Many of the Spanish sailors are said to have settled in Galway town. Relics of the Armada, cast upon the shores, are preserved in the museum Of Queens College in Galway.

 The period Of Galway's prosper ity came to an end with it's plum dering by the Parliamentary army about the middle of the l7th cen- tury. The population was scattered, the harbor became unused. the man. slons of it's wealthy merchants were turned into tenements, and numer- ous warehouses became empty.

New Mexico Most Spanish of States

>S>vv -'A~Sss>O >'AOs'S SpesAAoAA oS SkS1t<-e
 But one American state stands on a different footing. New Mexico has barely passed the point at which it's English-speaking influences weigh more heavily than its Spanish factors. Only a few years ago it could have been listed as a part of the Spanish world. Then its legisla- ture was conducted in Spanish or in the two tongues; and Spanish was the current language on street and range and farm. As It Is the beam has tipped only little; the interpreter Is still an important person in the courts, and 1t Is easy enough to find communities in the state in which If one speaks no Spanish he can make himself un- derstood only through some school child. These youngsters are being taught English now in the public schools and in few generations will no doubt turn the scale over whelmingly to English speech.
 Continuing westward one finds no further traces of spatn's world wide empire until he reaches the Philippines. There. fin spite of the mixture Of blood. Spanish culture took firm hold. at least in the non- Mohnmmedan country. Spanish GUS toms. laws and architecture will no doubt color life in the Philippines for many years to come. Tn speech, however. the passing of Spanish in- fluence may not be so long delayed If the United States continues to givern the islands. Already English Is Tn about as general use as Span ish, and if present educational methods continue the Philippines may yet join Jamaica and California as regions definitely lost to the Spanish world.
