NATIONAL CRIME
CONVENTION URGED
Sargent Asked to Enlist
Presidents Interest in
Suppression Move.

Alarmed over the increase in crime
in the United States, civic societies
are urging Attorney General Sargent
TO support a call for a convention for
crime suppression. Coupled with this
is a plan to have the United States
cooperate with other nations in iden-
tifying international crooks.
The prisons of certain sections of
the country are overcrowded with Of
tenders, hackers of the campaign for
a great drive against violators of the
law assert. The Federal prisons have
more than 5000 inmates, and 5000 ad-
ditional persons held by the United
States Government are in prisons
scattered about the country
Planned to Benefit Youth.
Those who propose a nationwide
battle against crime would pay parti-
cular attention to the youth of the
land.
The Attorney General has been
asked to bring to the attention of the
President the agitation for a ma
tional meeting to discuss a plan of
action.
Several years ago Rush d. Holland
assistant attorney general during the
Harding administration, reached an
agreement with England, France,
Italy and Other countries Tor the de-
lection, Identification and transfer of
noted criminals. In furtherance of
his plan he visited Scotland Yard and
authorities on criminals in France,
Holland and other foreign countries
with a view to studying conditions
and feeling out sentiment for his
proposal.
Would Extend Agreement.
He made a report to the Depart
ment of Justice on his trip, and was
very enthusiastic for the interna-
tional project.
A working arrangement with
Canada has resulted in the Identified
ton of noted criminals. 1t is part of
the present anti-crime program to ask
the State Department to endeavor to
extend the Canadian agreement to
other States.

ATTACK TEAPOT DOME LEASE.
Doheny Decision Applies to Sinclair,
T.. s. Counsel Contend.

BY the Associated Press.
Harry +. Sinclair's lease and con-
tract for the Teapot Dome naval oil
reserve in Wyoming were in effect de-
clared illegal by the Supreme Court
in it's decision in the Doheny leasing
case, Government counsel contended
I'm a. brief filed in the court yesterday
preparatory to oral argument on Sin
clair's appeal in about 10 days They
insisted that the Doheny litigation has
decided against Sinclair practically
every point he sought to raise.
The brief which is voluminous.
charged that Sinclair had completely
shifted his position in the Supreme
Court. He is now attempting to de-
fend himself, the Government as
serted, on the ground that his lease
and contract were made for motives
different from those which inspired
the making of the Doheny leases and
contracts and were solely for the con-
servation of the oil and not, as in
Doheny's case, to use Government oil
for the erection of storage tanks for
the Navy
Hold Leases Illegal.
Recalling that lower courts had
held there was authority to negotiate
the Sinclair lease under the act of
June 4, l92o, although the Circuit
Court ordered 1t Cancelled on the
ground of fraud, the Government in.
sisted that the Supreme Court In the
Doheny case had taken a contrary
view in its Interpretation of the act
and had held that leases under 1t
could only be made to preserve under
ground oil from depletion.
The Sinclair lease and contract were
declared to show "a complete trial of
fraud on the part of Fan tthe then
Secretary OF the Interior) and col
fusion between him and Sinclair"
Deny Leasing Authority
While the Circuit Court had set
aside the lease and contract because
of fraud, the Government insisted
that under the Supreme Court Doheny
decision they must also be declared
| illegal because of want of authority
| TO make them.
Government counsel argued that
| Secretary Fall personally had con.
| summated the Teapot Dome lease.
| Protection of the reserve from drain,
| age was not the motive of the lease,
/ the brief said. as1d emphasis was
| placed upon the secrecy observed in Its
negotiation, which 1t was contended
! was not justified by military exped
lency as had been claimed In the Do
heny case.

CHANNEL SWINS
ARE COSTLY

What does 1t cost to attempt to
swim the Channel2 asks the London

Now 30 many Channel attempts
are being made, the question is be-
ing asked by thousands. An enthu-
siast who has followed many Chan.
mel swims, including two success.
Iul ones. said to q Daily Mail re.
porter recently:
For the majority Ii is q costly
business, but one which they think
well worth while, either for the
sport of the thing or for personal
gain. If a swimmer is successful,
then he or she has a name and
q name is valuable asset, particu-
larly In America.
"A Channel swim might cost as
little as ESQ or as much as $780,
Some have cost more than that fig.
ure. Items that must be included
IN swimmers budget are: Living
accommodations while waiting, hire
Of tug for outward and return jour.
ney, fares to point Of departure;
trainers and pilots services.
The tugs are chargeable accord
ing to the period they are out of
Part. The lowest price paid for a
tug on successful Channel swim
y believed to be ESQ. A motor boat
however, can be hired for q much
lower figure, say. f20."
