WAR ON CRIME
Huge Machine Created for
Battling Crooks.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 9-Minnesota is
starting out to fight banditry with
every weapon of modern criminal
science, coordinated into a closely
welded whole.
w. F. Rhinow, former State adj
jutant general, has been made head
Of new Bureau OF Criminal
Identification.
The plan embraces:
l. A staff of expert detectives
and criminologists to be stationed
at the capitol and to be quickly
available at the scene of any big
crime.
2. A School for Sheriffs" where
officers will be taught modern
methods, including the Bertillon
system and police photography.
3. A clearing house for police rec
ords, including a bureau of identi-
fication which will have records and
photographs of every criminal sem
fenced in the United States.
4. Possible establishment of a
central broadcasting bureau in Min
neapolis
In addition, each county is to be
urged to buy a high-speed armored
auto, with a machine gun, and
manned by three deputies.

NAVY PROGRAM
IS UNCHANGED,
SAYS COOLIDGE
President and Wilbur Confer
and Indicate Expansion
May Be in Aviation.
Rm United Press

BY United Press
RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. o.
President Coolidge conferred with
Secretary Of the Navy Wilbur to-
day about the future naval build
ing program as a result OF the
breakdown of the Geneva diSarma-
ment conference. Both announced
afterward that no immediate
changes in plans is contemplated.
In Mr.. Coolidge's behalf it was
announced that the naval program
would go on susual.
Now that the agreement has
failed, the United States remains in
the same position that she was
before.
Turn to Airplanes
Mr.. Coolidge implied that there
might be expansion of the air build
ing program.
The only amplification of that
statement which Wilbur would
make was an explanation that the
usual manner" meant the recon-
mendations of the general board
would be submitted to the budget
bureau and the President as re-
quired by law before presentation
to Congress.
While both statements breathed
extreme caution, they left clear
impression that some plan might be
presented to Congress next session
tc enlarge the Navy.
Troubles Over Zeppelin
Wilbur also made known that diff
ficulties have arisen between the
government and the Goodyear Yep
pelin Co., which may prevent build
ing Of new dirigible three times
the size of the Los Angeles. The
company, said Wilbur, has refused
to enter a contract on cost plus
fixed fee basis. 1t has insisted that
in an experimental enterprise it
should be permitted more financial
leeway.
Wilbur intends to give the matter
to Congress and let it determine
whether the government should drop
the plan.
The dirigible would be able to
carry three fighting air planes and
would cost about $4,500000.
Wilbur also indicated that the
contemplated expansion in the air
service would be carried forward on
larger scale. He estimated that
under present arrangements the de-
partment would be equipped in five
years with 1000 first class fighting
nlaneS.

FIND DISEASES
TO KILL B0RER
Purdue Director Reports
Scientists Success.

bV CHtteU PfeS8
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. 9.-DiS-
covery of two parasitical diseases
which kill the European corn borer
was announced today by Dr. Edward
G. Elliott, president of Purdue Uni
versity.
Dr. Elliott received word of the
discovery from DR.. G. I. Christie,
director of the Purdue agricultural
experiment station, who is now in
Europe with an international COM
mittee, studying the pest as it occurs
in continental countries, and enlist
ing the aid of European scientists in
it's control.
DR.. Christies communication de-
clares that scientists of the Pasteur
Institute in France have discovered
parasite that destroys the eggs
of the corn borer 1t is of a different
form than that developed irf Berlin,
called trico-gamma, and also eats
the eggs.
1t has been discovered, DR.. Christie
writes, that if corn borer infested
stalks are stacked and covered with
potato stalks, the borers will leave
the corn and go into the potato
stalks.
Dr. Christie said the American
party has about completed its OBJ
servations and planned to sail from
Europe in time to reach the United
States about Oct. lie
