in and nip him and be away again
before Happy Jack could get back at
him. He had long ago found out that
the easiest way of avoiding being tor

But he knew that his neighbors didn't
know this and thought he had run be-

HALT ON SALE
or ARMS URGED
Judge BIames Concealed
Weapons for Crime.

Enactment of a federal law pro-
hibiting the manufacture, use and
sale of concealable firearms
materially would reduce the major
crimes in the United states, Circuit
Judge Harry o. Chanlberlin de-
clared Wednesday, night at the
monthly meeting Of the Indianapo-
lis Bar Association at the Columbia
Club.
Chamberlin advocated passage of
such a law and at the June as
ISOLATION meeting a committee will
be named to present the text of
his address to Indiana, representa-
tives and senators in congress.
1.-THE concealed weapon, with its
practically unrestrained uses and
purposes, presents the greatest men
ace and more harmful influence
with its various ramif1cations, than
any other vice confronting the
American people" he stated. THE
major crimes in the country would
be reduced approximately 30 per
cent if concealabIe firearms were
prohibited.

Discussions in Capitals of
World Next.

BU H1tC0 PFCSS
WASHINGTON, May 2.-InfOr-
NAL technical and diplomatic dis
cussion in London, Toxic, Washing
ton and perhaps Rome and Paris
are foreseen here as the next i'm
portant step toward reduction of
naval ornaments as proposed by
the American delegates to the Gene
va conference.
The purpose of these discussions
would be to draft and compare notes
upon the formula for naval reduc-
ton which must be worked out by
navy teChnicianS.
Technicians of each country, the
United Press was informed, prob
ably will devise a formula with the
expectation that the final draft will
compound the best features Of all
submitted plans.
The time then would have ar
rived. unless the international sit
uation unexpectedly alters, for an
international conference to apply
the reducing formula to the world S
fleets.
While the naval question appears
to be progressing satisfactorily. some
misgiving is indicated among Wash
ington officials with respect to the
Geneva conferences reported atti-
tude toward land ornaments.

HOOVER FIRES
u. S. ATTORNEY
OUT OF POST
Sets Precedence by His
Discharge of De Groot,
New York.
BY LAWRENCE SULLIVAN
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON. May 2.-Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover has set it down
as a cardinal point of his admin
istration that those he feels should
not hold Office must be discharged
if necessary.
Ten minutes after william D.
Mitchell, attorney general, sub
mitted his resume of the case of
William A. De Croft, United States
district attorney, at Brooklyn, the
following order signed by Hoover,
was issued at the White House and
addressed to De Groot:
you hereby are removed from
the Office of United States attorney,
eastern district Of New York, eff
fective Immediately. T."
President Hoover has not yet
given consideration to appointment
of a successor to fill the vacancy.
De Grott's resignation had been
requested three times, according to
Attorney General MitchelTs letter
to the President.
Case Sets Precedence
Official Washington does not re-
call a previous case in which an adj
ministration officer sunmarily was
removed from Office by a public
declaration issued at the White
House prior to his resignation.
The correspondence which led to
the resignation Of Harry M. Daugh-
erty from the cabinet was published
by President Calvin Coolidge after
the former encouragement relin-
pushed his post.
The removal of De Groot is re-
garded as of special significance in
view Of the rum running conditions
which have prevailed on Long Is
land for nine years and two months.
Aside from the Jersey shore, Long
Island was the greatest import CEN
ter for illicit liquor in the United
States.
Only the southern tip Of Florida
and the Great Lakes area about De-
troit compared with eastern Long
Island in volume Of rum smuggling.
No Charges Are Made
De Groot caves Office with an I'M
blemished record. No charges of
any kind ever have been lodged
against him. The record, as COM
piled by Attorney-General Mitchell
follows
Ion Jan. %. 1929, the assistant at
torney-general in charge of admins
tration. at the direction Of Attor-
ney-General Sargent orally re-
Quested De Groots resignation. He
declined.
on April 3. 1929. I wrote De
Groot, asking for his resignation
but he did not acknowledge the let
ter.
"on April "a, 1929, 7 renewed my
request for his resignation, l am
/ in receipt of a telegram from him
dated April %, declining to submit
his resignation.
Every officials in this department
who has had contact with De Groot' s
office agrees that conditions in that
Office are unsatisfactory. that the
personnel should be reorganized,
that Degroot is incompetent, and an
effective administration of that of
flee can only be obtained by his re-
| moval."

DRY VI0LATORS
ESCAPE JONES
LAW PENALTIES
Light Sentences Given in
First Trials Here; Warn
ing Issued.

Indianapolis liquor violators to-
day had better understanding of
the new Jones act, providing heavier
maximum liquor penalties, follow
ing their first experience with it in
federal court Wednesday.
Several liquor defendants, who
we're arrested and indicted for Of
lenses committed after March 2,
when the new law became effective,
we're sentenced by Federal Judge
Robert G. BaltZell Wednesday and
found the sentences probably were
no heavier than they would have
received without the Jones act pro-
vision.
Two Of the worst offenders SEN
fenced under the new law received
sentences Of a year and day and
of nine months and a $500 fine.
Either offense probably would have
drawn the same penalty under the
old law.
Minimum Terms Unchanged
Baltzell warned liquor violators
not to appear in his court again, or
heavier penalties migk be i'm
posed.
The Jones law provides a maxi
mum penalty Of five years and $10,-
900 fine for most liquor violations.
1t increases the maximum penalty
without affecting the former mini
mum penalties.
The law was passed in order to
give courts an opportunity to give
the worst offenders a severe SEN
tence," District Attorney George r.
jeffrey explained.
"A clause in the law specifically
provides that it is not intended for
the minor offender"
Others Sentenced
Four Chicago defendants charged
with motor theft received four year
sentences. They were Fred Bellows,
10; Harry Rice. 80; Orus William
Thompson, 81, and John Fezekas, 10.
They were alleged to have stolen an
automobile, using it to hold up a
restaurant.
Other sentences included: Ernest
w. Glstrap. %, Salem, Ind, white
slave, five years; Frank Manno, "a,
Chicago white slave, two years;
Miss Marjorie Baugh, Chicago,
white slave, one year and one day;
Harry Bellamy, SO, Madison, Ind,
