Modern Crime Technique.

While, of course, the chief line OF
inquiry by the Presidents crime COM
mission Is to seek the cause OF the pres
ent high rate of lawbreaking in this
country, and, If possible, some measure
Of correction or cure, it would be in-
teresting and possibly instructive for a
branch of the investigation to turn to
the question Of crime technique. This
is q branch Of the subject that has
been somewhat overlooked by those
who have been studying the matter, and
1t deserves research.
Crime technique has been remarkably
developed in recent years. The former
crude methods of force and sly craft
have been displaced by newer modes.
the motor car, the telephone and even
the radio serving the lawbreakers et-
fectively and, from a certain point OF
view, artistically. 1t is far cry from
the old-fashioned burglarious entry 10
the modern housebreaking. The bank
robber uses subtler and more definitely
effective means than his predecessor,
who delved into the foundations and
pried his way through thick walls and
blasted the steel of strong boxes to
reach his loot.
The latest case of artistic crinl-
inal enterprise occurred Saturday eve
ming in New York, where banquet
table of fifty men was suddenly held
up by a band of seven, who "frisked"
the diners, assembled to do honor to a
city Judge. The Operatives" entered
the dining room as the Speechmaking
was proceeding. The leader, clad in
evening attire, sauntered TO a COM
rnanding position and masking the
lower part of his face with a handker-
chief, drew two guns and quietly ordered
those present to place their hands on
the table and TO submit TO search for
valuables. At first the guests thought
that the interruption was a bit Of en-
tertainment, staged for their benefit
and amusement. But they were soon
disabused of this idea. The unlimited
ones gathered some 81 200 in cash and
nearly $4,000 In gems and Watches

had no desire to discriminate against
younger painters, but was convinced
that in most cases q man Of that
mature age has passed his youthful
vagaries-in common parlance, has
arrived" The one-third remaining can
be devoted to the works of any younger
men of sufficient genius, if thought de-
sirable. Next comes the second test
All pictures selected and purchased are
to be given outright by the Council to
art or other institutions maintaining
public galleries. But the National CAL
lery of Art-and here appears the
testator's discriminating broad Amer
icanism-shall have the option and the
right, without cost, to take and to own
any picture so displayed for its own
permanent collection, provided such
option be exercised at some time within
flve-year period which shall begin ten
years after the artists death. Ten years,
by the way, is the period of time pic
ture that is a possibility for the Louvre
must first linger in the Luxembourg.
In other words, the painting first
must be chosen and bought by highly
competent experts. Then it must re-
main on view in some designated gall
lery for at least one decade, by which
time 1t Is likely that the work will be
correctly judged, and on merit alone.
Then at any time during the five years
following the artists death the National
Gallery can take 1t over or, failing this,
the work remains the property of the
institution to which it was first pre-
sented. The plan is to run through
all time; 1t is somewhat reminiscent of
tournament in which the National
Gallery deals only with the entrants in
the very finals. Gradually the collec-
tion of the gallery here will, by this
means, become more representative of
all that is greatest and best in Amer
ican painting. Mr.. Ranger was not
aiming specifically to benefit American
artists, but American art, although in
cidentally he accomplished the former.
The National Gallery has not yet chosen
any of the pictures displayed, but has
assembled representation of the best
works thus far bought and distributed
by the Council of the Academy, and
thus gives the Capital and Nation
foretaste of what 1t one day will proudly
display as its very own.

During Winter there is good oppor

are plenty of bears and wolves and biz
specimens of different goat families with
long, curved horns. The bow and ar
row are not used much by the natives
now. Some have European rifles and
many make their rifles themselves.
These latter are long-barreled and
primitive, but not as bad as one might
think, although they were made with
very primitive means. The barrel was
drilled with a piece Of iron and the
maker had no drilling machine, but
used his hands. I am at loss to
understand how it was possible with
so simple means to drill the barrel
straight, yet it was done. The art of
making rifles in these districts is old,
and during the war in 1880 the home
made rifles of the Afghans had a wider
range than the English military rifles.

car had first to be taken several miles
through nearly impossible land, then
it had literally to be carried over high
mountain passes. Now the mechar has
had 8 stretch of road especially made
in his small state to use his car, and
he is able to take run of 20 miles

Ambassadorial Status for Poland.

1t is a fitting climax to the recent
commemoration in this country of the
Pulaski sesquicentennial that the United
States has just raised our diplomatic
relations with Poland to ambassadorial
status. Henceforward the Eastern
European republic and this country
will be represented at their respective
capitals by Ambassadors instead OF
Ministers.
Governments can extend to one an
other no higher compliment than to
clothe their ENJOYS with the rank
which, when thrones and dynasties
meant more than they do today, was
the cherished prerogative exclusively CT
crowned heads. Ambassadors still have
certain privileged rights at the capitals
to which they are accredited. Among
them, in our own case, is the right OF
direct access to the President of the
United States, if desired, rather than
q mere Minister'S duty to approach the
American Government through State
Department channels.
In elevating Polish American relations
to the ambassadorial level, President
Hoover makes known that his action is
a tribute to the Polish element which
so long and so fruitfully has leavened
American citizenship. Since the days
when Gems. Pulaski and Kosciuszko
Joined their, fortunes with those other
European patriots-Lafayette, Rocham-
beau and Steuben-who pledged their
lives, regulations and fortunes to the
young American Revolutionary cause,
Poles have figured with distinction In

With the independence aspirations of
their native land, Americans have ever
been warm sympathizers. In the re-
construction days following the World
War, the helping hand of the United
States politically, financially and
philanthropically- cordially ex-

M. Paderewski, served as its official

and 1918, and laid well and deep the

Poland was one of the first Of our
World War associates to fund her debt
to the United States Treasury. 1t is
the fifth largest of the thirteen sepa-
rate obligations due us, though, Of
course, greatly exceeded by the debts
of Great Britain, France, Italy and
Belgium. Since the date of the fund
ing settlement, five years ago, the Poles
have lived up to their pledges in a
fashion which indicates the definite
sterilization of their finances, though
political conditions in the republic are
more or less chronically disturbed amid
the dictatorship which Marshal Pill
sudski holds with apparent invincibility.

Benefits of the Ranger Bequest.

An unusual combination Of great
vision, artistic appreciation and plain,
hard common-sense appears to have
been accomplished by the late Henry
Ward Ranger of New York, who left
his entire fortune for the benefit of
American ait and did 1t according to a
plan, results of which are now being
demonstrated through an exhibition of
paintings now in progress at the Ma
tional Gallery Of Art here In Washing
ton.
The story Of Mr. Rangers bequest
and Of its fulfllment, already partially
accomplished, is an interesting one and
worthy of emulation If not imitation
by other patrons of art. In outline it
is as follows: Evidently having in
mind the ten-year purgatory of the
Luxembourg and the eventual possible
heaven of the Louvre as regards French
art, Mr.. Ranger left all his considerable
resources to be administered by the
Council Of the National Academy CT
Design, New York, of which he was
himself member, group as highly
competent and as near likely to remain
elf-perpetuating ss any other that oc-
ours to mind. He left his estate with
the proviso that all moneys accruing to
1t as income should be used by the
Council in purchasing paintings by
American. artists and, furthermore, that
at least two-thirds of the sum be de-
voted 10 the purchase of works by art
lists of the age Of forty-five years or
over.

CoOlidge's Defense
Of Senate Is Lauded
FROM the Los Angeles Eveninr Express.

From the Los Angeles Evening Express.
In his autobiography, just published,
former President Coolidge makes a
timely and thorough defense of the
United States Senate, of which, he says,
that although it often is called dila-
tory, the Senate, in fact, passes more
legislation than the House, and in ad-
ditlon must act upon thousands of pres
1dential nominations to posts in the
Government and numerous treaties
with foreign governments, but its prime
and Vindtcating function is that of a
dellberative body. "It may seem that
debate is endless" says Mr.. Coolidge.
but there is scarcely q time when il
is not informing and. after all, the pow-
er to compel due consideration is a dis
tinguishing mark of deliberative body.
II the Senate is anything it is a great
deliberattve body, and il it is to re-
main safeguard of liberty it must re-
main deliberative body.
1t has become the fashion to criticize
and ridicule the Senate. Some do so
thoughtleSsly, or in the belief that it is
smart. Some of our Wisecrackers aim
their darts at the Senate because they
have found it wins them laugh for
small effort. Some have deep design
in their attacks. the aim being to de-
Stroy public confidence in the Senate
and thus undermine its influence. These
are not friends of the American form
OF government.
When as Vice President he became
the presiding officer of the Senate, Mr..
Coolidge began, he tells, a study of the
rules, but soon gave it up as unneces-
sary because. he adds humorously, "I
soon found that the Senate had but one
fixed rule, subject to exceptions, of
course. which was to the effect that
the Senate would do anything it want
ed to do whenever it wanted to do it,"
And he glories in that independence.
Had Gen. Dawes, when he succeeded to
the Vice Presidents chair, perceived
what Mr.. Coolidge did. he might have
been saved some anguish of spirit and
the country the spectacle of its second
highest executive playing the role Of
Don Quixote.
That the Senate has its faults Mr..
Coolidge does not deny, but they are in
the personnel. and the Senate. he re-
minds us, does not choose its own mem
bers.

Now, there is a case worthy Of study.

The leader evidently reads the papers

haps this was trial flight, with bigger

of Judgment, for doubtless hereafter
Gotham banquet-goers will leave their
