CRIME HARD HIT
!. BY COMMISSION
National Body Cites New
York Experience as
Model for States.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 14.--In a state
ment by the National Crime Commls-
sion here today the report Of the
New York State commission to the
State Legislature of its work IN the
first year of it's existence was pointed
to as vindication of the soundness
of the crime commission plan for
States.
at is our intention to bring this
report to the attention Of every gov.
ernor and the legislative leaders or
every State, with a renewed request
that they seriously consider the
establishment by statute Of a commits
sion of this general character and with
the same broad powers and scope.
Existence Held Justified.
without discussing in detail the
many excellent recommendations that
the New York commission has made
to the Legislature, the mere fact that
ii has been able to present a very
considerable number of definite crime
remedies, carefully and skillfully
drawn so as to put into the form of
legislative bills the conclusions
reached after careful and painstaking
investigation of the situation as re-
CARDS crimes of violence, is in itself
sufficient justification for the commits
sion's existence.
las the result of the establishment
of this commission the New York
Legislature now has before 1t few
selected constructive recommenda-
tons which it can feel assured have
not been presented to it hastily or
without careful and exhaustive re-
search.
Called Step Forward.
"a report of this kind in compari-
son to the great mass of proposed
laws to reduce the number of serious
crimes yearly introduced is obviously
a great step forward, particularly as
the average bills introduced in the
Legislature are not only in many cases
imperfectly drawn, but in any case
could not possibly be the result of
any complete study of the situation
such as the crime commission was
able to make. The assurance that
these proposed bills are worthy of
serious consideration and are found
ed on a real knowledge of the needs
of the State, based on many hearings
held during the preceding year, should
be regarded by the Legislature as a
tremendous saving in time of their
already over-burdened judiciary COM
mittees. That this is the feeling at
the New York State capitol would
seem to be manifest through the very
wise determination to continue the
commissions existence"

Quoting campaign in the interests
of Senator Pepper. What, he infers,
could Mr.. Ware do other than that
which he did do?
"a large sum of money was raised
and expended in behalf Of the Ware
Beidleman- j ames-W ticket" "
says Mr.. Mackey. But it was not a
slush fund. Every cent of it was
honestly and legally expended and
honestly and legally accounted for.
The nomination of Mr.. Ware was the
result of an uprising against Vol
steadism."
The Ware compaign manager also
insists that the payment Of money to
thousands of watchers and workers on
election day. as developed by the SEN
ate committee, was entirely legal, un-
der a primary law passed in Pennsyl-
vania 20 years ago. The assertion that
the votes Of the watchers and workers
were purchased was an insult to the
men and women who acted in those
capacities, he says.
1.-THE nomination of William S. Ware
furnished a complete vindication of
popular government" Mr.. Mackey
nounced his candidacy for Senator he
faced an uneven battle. Arrayed
against him were unlimited wealth,
powerful political organizations in 65
of the 81 counties of the State, and
nearly all OF the newspapers.
Cash Payments Defended.
Cash payments to county leaders
made by the Ware committee are de-
Tended by Mr.. Mackey. He says that
the same methods would be adopted
again If the campaign was to be run
over and that such payments were
necessary to keep the enemy from
learning the Ware plans and picking
off the Ware workers.

Congress-. The contest will come over

Holds Cancer Durable.

Cancer is durable today when
taken in time" says DR.. George E.
Breurr in a talk in New York re-
ported in the Herald Tribune. Pain"
he adds, SIS not a symptom of cancer
in its early stages, and for this rea-
son many who have the disease pay
little or no attention to 1t. Pain
is a terminal symptom of cancer,
but then it may be too late TO do
anything for the sufferer. When
Jumps appear, go at once to a COM
petent physician for an examination.
The disease is entirely local in the
beginning. 1t becomes general and
a blood disease later but cancer is
often fatal before 1t reaches the
blood because 1T develops a poison
We must see to it that the medical
profession Is so instructed that a
practitioner will recognize cancer
when patients come for examination"
