TO PLACE CURB-BIT ON CRIME
National Commission With This In View
Urges States to Properly Regulate
Sale of Deadly Weapons.

submitted.
Members of the special committee

tiVes of police authority, Army, law,
, manufacturers and national associa-
tions interested in firearms. it was an
bounced, were able to reach an agree
ment on all Of the important features
of the bill with the exception of sec
ton y, which required a permit to
purchase as well as TO carry a pistol.
The members of the committee rep
resenting the amall-arms manufac-
turers and rifle and revolver associa.
lions dissented from this requirement,
which was, however, agreed on by a
ajority Of the committees members.
National legislation looking to the
prohibition of the importation of PTS
tolls and machine guns and the extern
sion of the law forbidding the sending
Of pistols by mail to all common car
riers, with proper exceptions. will be
prepared by the committee and sub
mitted in time to be taken up by the
next Congress.
The State bill provides for commit
ting or attempting to commit a crime
when armed additional punishment of
not less than nor more than 10 years
and for a third conviction not less
than 10 nor more than Is years.
Penalty for Fourth Conviction.
In case of a fourth conviction for
the commission of crime of violence
when armed, the penalty is imprison-
ment for life, or for an additional pc
Rod of not less than 90 years This
was explained to be a modification of
the principle of the Baumes law,
which was passed last year in New
York, inasmuch as the option of 90
years additional sentence in place of
life imprisonment Is provided for the
fourth offenSe.
Provisions of the bill were explained
in part by the official statement, as
follows:
Being armed is prima facie evidence

Cash Value of Life

Fig insurance and life in
surance protect values. The
value of a workers life is the
cash worth of his future net
earnings, usually far greater
than the value of his prop
erty. The following points

monetary value Of your life.
The United States Govern
ment fixed $4,000 as the in
surable life-value of Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors in
the Great War, mostly young
unmarried men a0ho had been
earning small incomes or
none at all.
Recently, according to the
Ne7V York Times, the Ameri-
can Statistical Association
declared that the money value
of the average American
life (including children and
adults who earn no incomel

qulred to produce income

RACE RELATIONS
IMPROVED IN 1926
White and Negro Commits
sion Makes Scientific Sur
vey in 80 Cities.


ATLANTA, Ga, February %
Marked strides were made in many
directions in the progress of race re-
latfons during 1926, the commission
of interracial cooperation announced
in its report, made public here last
night.
The report covered a scientific sur
vey of racial contacts in thirty cities
from New Orleans to New York
Chicago and the Middle West. 1t was
expected, the commission said, to
prove to be the most important study
of negro conditions that has yet been
made" In many of the cities in
>cluded in the study, the actual sur
vey work was done by local inter-
racial commissions. The local COM
mission will use the studies as a basis
of their respective programs, the
general commission announced.
Among the improved conditions
noted in the report were:
"Opening of work in a new State
and its revival in others in which it
had lapsed.
Sustained effort with some success
to stir and mobilize the conscience of
Florida against lynching.
Cooperation with three great ma
tional organization in formulating
their programs of interracial work
Special efforts to interest college
students, which in various ways reach
thousands of students annually.
Cooperation with many official
and unofficial interracial committees

Tuskegee's report showing 80 vic
TINS of 1ynching in 1926 as against
is the previous year was termed dis
couraging, but not hopeless" when
considered alongside the former
average of 107 a year for a period of
40 years.
The interracial commission is an
unofficial body of white and negro
citizens who are working for the bet
terment of the relations between the
two races. 1t was organized in At
lanta and has spread throughout the
South and MANY States of the North.
