Crime in New York

New York, Jan. 2 Up - Mayor
James ]. Walker. in a copyrighted
article in the New York American

one of the chief causes of crime in
the metropolis.
He also asserts that New York IL
relatively the least crime-ridden city
in the country when its millions Of
= inhabitants are compared in size
with other communities.
While wrong doing in other COM
munities Is minimized by their local
newspapers and not published In
metropolitan papers. the mayor says.
similar occurrences in New York
gain nationwide publicity. giving
the city reputation Of being
wicked.

SHEPHERDS DEATH
WON'T Be PRObED
Governor Of Mississippi Has
''Neither Time Nor Money!

Jackson. Miss, Jan. 3 @-Gov-
ernor T. G. Bilbo's official notice of
the lynching Monday night Of Char
ley Shepherd, convict killer and kid
naper. was his announcement that he
would not instigate an investigation
into the torturing to death of the
negro by mob.
II have neither the time nor the
money to investigate two thousand
people," the governor said in reply
to kilograms of protest reaching his
office. Arthur Jordan, district attor
ney, however, was considering a call
for grand jury investigation.
National Guard officers leading
groups Of possemen in search OF the
negro were ordered to cease their
duties when word was received that
the negro had been taken.
Adjutant Gneral Hairston said the
troops were requested to aid in cap
turing the murderer of J. D. Duvall,
carpenter sergeant at the state prison
farm and II possible to deliver him
to the law.
No Request
To this Governor Bilbo added that
II request had been made to guard
the negro after his capture by a per-
son authorized to do SO, II would
have granted it,
The verdict of the coroner stated
that Shepherd came to death from
causes unknown to this jury" His
burned and mutilated body was bur-
led in the prison farm cemetery
after lying at the pyre ruins for
hours.
The mob which raced over north.
west Mississippi last Thursday night
when the convict trusty killed the
prison worker in his home. grew by
leaps and bounds when Duvalla

agreement whereby hts naval con-
struction bill would be brought up
after the treaty. appeared to be
immaterial. for the treaty advocates
have the votes to 60 ahead. An
agreement, however. would serve to
assure = vote on the naval measure.
Tacdt Consent
Realizing that Senator Borah has
the strength to press the treaty to
an early vote. senate leaders have
given tacit consent to placing 1t
ahead and In return have received
some assurances from opponents of
the naval bill that this measure will
be allowed to come to a vote.
If an agreement goes through,
votes would be definitely assured on
both the treaty and the naval bill,
and predictions have been made
that such an agreement would lead
to disposition of both propositions
within two weeks.
Prior to the Christmas recess the
senate agreed to make the naval bill
the unfinished legislative business
and the treaty the unfinished execu-
tive business. This will automatical-
ly bring the naval bill before the
senate tomorrow at . o'clock. At
any time, however. treaty advocates
can move to go into executive SEES
sion for consideration OF the peace
pact. With a majority vote they
will be able thus to keep the treaty
constantly before the senate.
Senator Reed. democrat, Missouri,
will wage fight against the treaty.
He will gain some support from
Senator Moses, republican, New
Hampshire. who is asking adoption
of an interpretative resolution stat
ing Americas reservations in ratify-
ing the pact. However, senate
leaders believed they could force an
early vote with strength enough to
use the cloture rule limiting debate,
| if necessary.
A more serious threat impends
against the bill to construct is new
cruisers with republican indepen-
dents under the leadership of Sena-
tor Norris OF Nebraska. opposing II.
However. 1t is believed that II the
treaty is allowed to go to a vote they
will not fllibuster.
Attempts will be made to modify
the naval bill to provide for only
five or ten cruisers. The request of
President Coolidge for elimination of
the clause requiring construction Of
the vessels within three years will
get support only from opponents of
the bill. Chairman Hale will oppose
| elimination of the time clause.
