ENFORCE DRY

Repeal Better Than
Contempt, Says Bar
In Crime Law Sec
ton Report

SEATTLE, July 25.-CF-Enforce-
ment or repeal OF the eighteenth
amendment was held TO be one Of
the requirements for effectively
combating crime in the United
States in a report Of the criminolo-
gy and criminal law section of the
American Bar association, delivered
before the national organization here
last night.
The report stressed that the i'm
mense profits from the manufacture
and distribution of liquor under pro-
hibition have evolved q new type Of
professional criminal in many cities
and that criminal organizations
have fortified themselves behind
this new illicit wealth.
The criminology report, prepared
by Arthur V. Hasly, director Of the
Illinois and Missouri crime surveys.
mas yet to be acted upon by the con-
vention proper. Approval Of its
findings and recommendations will
be sought Of the convention by JUS
tin Miller. dean Of the law school
Of the University Of Southern Cali
fornia and chairman Of the criminal
law section.
"The urderworlds Of the large
cities have been tremendously
strengthened by the manufacture
and distribution Of Intoxicating
liquors." the report said. THE inn
mense profits derived from this
source have become the backbone OF
criminal organizations in many cities.
Moreover, the evidence is convincing
that they do not confine their opera
tions merely to violations Of the
liquor laws. but commit all manner
Of other crimes. Official corruption
and alliances between political
manipulators and underworld result
in Generalization Of the law enforc-
ing agencies in practically every
place where such organizations have
become strong"
The report was a symposium II
opinions Of officials, publishers and
law enforcement agents in a repre-.
sentative group of the larger Amer
lean cities.
Among Hasly's recommendation
were:
Permanent confinement of habit.

NEW JERSEY POLLS
CLOSELY GUARDED

Taken Because of Bitter
Campaign Fights.
By the Associated Press.

$HoSSSA0NNA
NEWARK, November 6.-The New
Jersey polls opened at o'clock this
morning, guarded perhaps as New Jer-
sey polls were never guarded before.
In addition to the numerous watchers
appointed by party leaders and election
officials, United States deputy marshals
were on hand in Hudson and Essex
Counties as preventive measure" A.
H. Rachlin and John Ferguson, super
intendents of elections of Essex /and
Hudson Counties, respectively, also have
deputized about $500 men. A recent
amendment to the election laws en-
powers the superintendents and their
deputies to arrest ION sight" persons
suspected of fraud.
Bitter Campaign.
Today's election brings to an end one
of the bitterest political struggles in
New Jerseys recent history-a struggle
which centered in Essex and Hudson
Counties, the industrial section of the
State.
Republican leaders went into action
when the heavy registration became
apparent The Democrats did likewise
when the superintendents of election of
the two counties, both Republican, in

names from the registry lists as fraudu-
lently signed. The Republicans ap-
pealed to Federal authorities for agents
and their opponents appealed vainly to
the highest State courts to have the
amendment to the election law declared
unconstitutional
The United States Attorney Generals
office declined to use the Department of
Justice men as poll guards, but sent
agents here to investigate reports of
widespread fraud.
Thousands Challenged.
Rachlin today submitted to district
boards in his county a list of $4,000
challenges and Ferguson list of more
than 10000. In Atlantic County almost
1000 names have been stricken from
registry lists
Six county judges were sitting in
Hudson to hear applications from any
OF the approximately $4,000 voters
challenged by Supt. Ferguson and four
sat at Jersey City, county seat of Hud-

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Mrs. Huston Thompson, leading
Washington Democratic hostess, thinks
it pays to write nice letters of thanks.
At any rate, her tactful and apprecia-
tive pen has enriched the venerable
washington City Orphan Asylum to the
extent of $225 900 in cash and put 1t
in the way of becoming the model home
for parentless children in the United
States.
The asylum, founded in 1912 for the
benefit of children who lost their Ia
theirs in the Anglo-American war OF
that year, for decades occupied premises
at Fourteenth and S streets. Thanks
mainly to the beneflcence of the New
York multi-millionaire who liked Mrs.
Thompson's grateful letters, the asylum
is now a seni-suburban institution on
Nebraska avenue, with modern buildings
and beautiful grounds of its own. Its
anonymous patron, one of the kings os
Wall street, scion of an old financial
family and endower of a children'S
foundation, made 1t a condition that his
name should remain a secret. Other
wise it would probably be associated in
a memorial spirit with the establish
ment now known as "Hillcrest-a Chill
dren's Village"
First Check for $4,000.
The story of Hillcrest's $225,0O0 wind
fall is a phiIanthropic romance. A year
and half ago, or thereabouts, the asy-
lum made formal request for some of
the rich New York mans bounty. To
the pleasureable astonishment of its
board of lady managers, he rolled along
his check for $4,000 as Christmas
present. That's where Mrs. Huston
Thompson, who originally hailed from
Colorado, was educated at Ogontz and
then married the former chairman of
the Federal Trade Commission, came
into the golden picture. It was her
duty as corresponding secretary to
write letter of thanks, which included
a summary of the asylum's plans for The
future. Hardly week passed before
Mrs. Thompson heard from the New
Yorker in these terms:
II am so favorably impressed by what
you propose to do that want to ask
If you will accept an additional con-
tribution. 1t seems to me you should
have more money in order. to accom-
plish your purposes. Enclosed is my
check for $75,000."

NEW YORK, November 6 CP).-A
barkentine, in which some of the city's
leading business and club men had

Of $4,000.
The club was organized in 1926 by

and had enlisted the support of 400
members with its promise of a secluded
retreat on the Hudson River in the
Summer and Winter cruises in the Ca

GRATITUDE SHOWN IN LETTERS
PROVES AID TO CHILDREN'S HOME
Mrs Huston Thompson's Tact Brings Gifts
Totaling $225,OOO-New York Mil
lionaire Touched by Appreciation.

AS soon as Mrs. Thompson had re-
covered her composure she dispatched
another letter of grateful acknowledge
ment, narrating in exuberant terms
what the asylum now could proceed
to do for its unfortunate inmates. A
month elapsed Then the postman ar
rived at Mrs. ThompSonS address with
another registered letter bearing a fa-
miliar return-emblem in the upper
left-hand corner. 1--WE been thinking
about your project" it said, land feel
that you will need still more money for
its complete realization. I am there
fore sending you another check" The
inclosure represented an even 100000.
In consequence of all this munifi-
cence, "Hillcrest" is becoming de-
lightful complex of low, rambling stone
buildings, which, when the archi-
resemble an English village. It sur
mounts hill on Nebraska avenue,
half way between Massachusetts, and
Wisconsin avenues. In all directions
there spreads out a landscape of rare
panoramic beauty.
No charitable institution in the Dis
trict of Columbia claims finer tradi-
tions than Hillcrest. Its founder in
1912 was Marcia Van Ness, distin-
guished Washingtonian of that his
toric era. The Van Ness homestead
occupied land on which now stands the
Pan-American Union palace. Dolly
Madison was one of the first direc-
tresses of the Washington City Orphan
Asylum. The present board of lady
managers includes Mrs. w. v. Cox,
