MOORE VER-ICT UPHELD
Murray Praises Sentence Passed by
Judge Davis.

The attitude of Judge Paul G.
Davis in sustaining the verdict of
the jury in the case of Boynton j.
Moore, city councilman convicted of
bribery, tends to encourage respect
for the law declared Raymond F.
Murray, Democratic candidate for
prosecutor, addressing a Warren
Township community meeting at
Cumberland Saturday night.
There is no mystery as to why
we have had so much lawlessness
and political corruption in Indi-
ana" Murray said. politicians
placed in power through the influ-
ence of D. C. Stephenson have had
little respect for the law, because
they believed they need have little
fear of its penalties"

three weary men stepped out on
the ice without scratch or a
bruise, the first men in the history
Of aviation to cross the North At
lantic Ocean from east to west
without a stop.
They had won their fight. They
had blazed a new trail. They had
conquered where all others before
them had failed.
But they were in strange and
barren land. AS far as they could
see in any direction we're the frozen
stretches of land and the ice
banked straits which connect the
Gulf of st. Lawrence with the open
Atlantic. They saw no trees, no
buildings, no habitation, no life of
any kind
They had conquered the Atlantic,
but they had no idea where they
were or in what direction they
should strike out to reach some sort
of civilization.
Find Lighthouse Keeper
1t was not long, however, until
they found the Greenly Island
lighthouse and Jacques LIE Temper,
who tends it during the long
winter months. They were taken
in, warmed and fed, and since that
time have been comfortably
Quartered.
From LIE Temper they first re-
ceived their bearings-frSt learned
just where it was that they had
made their landing. They studied
their maps to find how far they
had been blown off their course
and how far they must fly to reach
the United States. They still had
their hearts set upon landing on
Mitchell Field, Long Island.
Before they took of, Baron Won
HuenefeId had said their destination
was Mitchell Field or Heaven" In
stead they landed on an island so
small that it is only dot on the
largest of maps, so barren that
only a few men of the North in
habit it, so isolated that it is often
months between arrivals of boats
from the mainland.

Large Per Cent Made Good

Severity of punishment does not
decrease crime" Trip said.
Records Of probation work in other
States show it. Out of 100000 men
placed on probation in fifteen years,
Y per cent made good. Ninety per
cent make good in Marion County.
Sixty per cent of our prison popula-
ton is made Of repeaters."
ALSO from an economic viewpoint,
probation is good. 1t costs Indiana
5000 year to keep a man in prison,
and in all suspended cases, res
titution of the stolenproperty is
made"

CLOUDS START
OF CONGRESS-
Blacklist, Politics Issues
That Menace Peace
of Convention.
BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent


WASHINGTON, April 16.-The
Daughters of the American Revo-
luton annual congress opened to-
day with the famous organization
facing issues that threatened a
cleavage in the rank and file.
Factions differing on two bic
problems-the battle of the black
list and entering politics-were lin
ing up delegates for their causes.
Work to Keep Peace
Mrs. Alfred j. Brosseau presi-
dent-general, was attempting to
prevent the blacklist feud from
breaking out during the public
meetings of the congress. She has
openly supported, however, the
blackliSting of certain speakers by
State chapters of the D. A. r. and
has advocated enactment of legis-
lation for strong naval armament
as well as active entry into politics
to vote for presidential candidate
with American traditions.
Mrs. Helen Tufts Bailie of Massa-
chusetts. is leader of the faction op-
posing the. officials Of the D. A. r.
She has charged the organization in
Massachusetts, keeps list of speak
ers who are not eligible to address
D. A. R. meetings; that the D. A. r.
was formed as an organization to
prepetuate the memory of colonial
ancestors and not as a group to en-
ter political and administrative con-
troversies; and that the present Of
ficerS of the D. A. r. are dominated
by the key Men of America" a
patriotic organization. Mrs. Bailie
is not a delegate. But her ideas are
said to be supported by some dele
gates.
Nerves were on edge as the Con-
gresS opened. Lobbyists worked to
quiet the unrest and prevent Mrs.
Babies charges from being pre-
sented on the floor.
Plan to Force Issue
Supporters of Mrs. Bailie planned
an attempt to bring the issues be-
fore the entire Congress and have
it approve their protests" in the
form of a resolution. Both sides is
sued pamphlets supporting their
contentious.
Mrs. Brosseau, in her annual adj
dress, spoke only indirectly on con-
troversial issues. She advocated
suppression of communism, the in
sitting of the American spirit into
immigrants. an adequate national
defense, and suppression of atheism.

"The reformation of a young Of
fender can never be successfully ac-
complished by incarcerating him in
a prison." Judge James A. Collins
said today in an explanation of his
system of probation.
Records of Judge Collins court
show he has been extremely eau
tious in the use of the probation
system, however, and that a high
percentage of boys released in this
manner are able to go straight"
1t is after careful investigation
of the home life of the boys, and
reasons for their crime careers, that
he releases a lad on probation.
Suspension on Decrease
Judge Collins discussed his pro-
baton system, after an eXamina-
ton of figures compiled by The
Times, on convictions in his court.
The survey has shown that more
than half the men who are tried in
his court are under 81 years of age.
suspended sentences, and later
probation, are on the decrease in
Marion County, Linn A. Trip, Col
Inns probation officer, added. Tripp
is employed by the Church Fed
GRAFTON of Indianapolis. He investi-
gates for Judge Collins, and recon-
mends as to whether probation is
advisable
More cases are given unfavor-
able recommendations than favor
able" Trip said.
Major Offenders Punished
A careful study of the accompa-
nying table will show the very few
suspensions in crimes such as rob-
berry. burglary and automobile BAN
ditry while it increases CORE
spondingly in lesser crimes like
grand larceny. The former are
punishable by five to twenty-one
years in prison, the latter by one to
ten.

Washington, May 31.-R)-Pres.
ident Coolidge, who yesterday plead
ed for the abolishment of war as
the fittest tribute to the war dead
Of the nation, will late today, as
president Of the American Red
Cross, lay the corner stone of the
organizations building dedicated to

Chief Justice Taft will preside at

will be accepted for the nation by

In his speech at the Gettysburg
battlefield yesterday. the president
urged less indifference to crime,
condemned what was described as
tendency of legislatures to exceed
authority granted them by the con-
stitution and declared that although

the maintenance of American mill
tary establishments they were lex
ceedingly moderate" and purely de-
fersiv, in character.
Referring to efforts to negotiate
treaties to renounce war the presi-
dent said:
1T is my earnest hope that sue
cess may crown the negotiations now
il. progress, and that the ideals
which have inspired the French
minister Of foreign affairs and the
secretary of state of the United
States in their joint efforts to find
q solution of the problem of peace
may find a practical realization in
the early making Of a multilateral
treaty limiting future resort to
war;"
