IDEAS OF JARD|NE
TO REMAIN HERE
SeCretary's Retirement viii
Be Only Partial Loss to
Administration.

Secretary Jardine is going. but his
ideas are not. The announced intention
of the Secretary of Agriculture to retire
March is in line with plans made be-
fore Herbert Hoover was nominated, but
u hts in with the peculiar problem that
faces the President-elect.
5 Mr. Hoover was largely responsible
for Mr. Jardines appointment by Presi-
dent Coolidge. Mr.. Jardine stood shoul-
der to- shoulder with Mr.. Hoover in
fighting McNary- Haugenism. The wrath
of the Middle West, however, which was
visited on the President and his Secre-
tary of Agriculture did not touch Mr..
Hoover as vitality. Or the Middle West
ern groups decided that they wanted to
give Mr.. Hoover a chance to cast loose
from the Coolidge agricultural policy.
Untouched by Antipathy.
So the antipathy to the retention of
q Coolidge Secretary of Agriculture be-
gan to be voiced here and there. 1t
didn't affect Mr.. Jardine personally
who was going to retire anyhow, but
who was ready to stay if Mr.. Hoover
insisted.
1t so happens that the Jardine plan
was incorporated in the Republican ma
tional platform at Kansas City, that MIR.
Jardine sponsored the sterilization idea
with the full knowledge and approval
OF Mr.. Hoover, and no matter who the
new Secretary of Agriculture happens to
be will find Mr.. Hoover interested in
carrying out the essentials of the
Jardine plan.
A Secretary of Agriculture's problem,
however. is largely psychological. Once
an impression sets in that secretary is
111{tn Writ
of farm relief he piles up all the liabili-
ties that issue from such circumstances
and it makes difficult conference and
compromise.
Background an Asset.
Mr.. Jardine has been sought by pri-
vate business because of his background
in agriculture He is on friendly terms
with many of the important groups and
interests which have to be reconciled
before there can be any final agree
ment. That is what is meant by the
sentence in his public statement to the
effect that he will remain in Washing
ton to help Mr.. Hoover.
Mr.. Jardine brought to the Depart.
ment of Agriculture an administrative
ability which was very important in
the enlarged functions of the depart
ment. This division of governmental
activity has grown in scope alongside
the Commerce. Department and the
portfolio of Secretary of Agriculture is
one of the most powerful in the Presi-
dents cabinet.
To get the friendly cooperation of
the Middle West it is assumed that the
next Secretary will come from Iowa
and will be one of the group that has
hitherto stood with Mr.. Hoover on his
agricultural philosophy. D. l..

NEW YORK, June 3-The text Of
the Message to the American People, :"
published today over signatures of "a
business and industrial leaders of the
Nation, follows:
ITO every American citizen the recent
messages Of President Hoover are a
challenge to patriotism and a call to
duty:
"'Our whole system of self-govern-
ment will crumble either If officials
elect what laws they will enforce or
citizens elect what laws they will sup
port. The worst evil Of disregard for
some law is that it destroys respect for
all law. For our citizens to patronize
the violation of particular law on
the ground that they are opposed to it
is destructive Of the very basis of all
that protection Of life, of homes and
property which they rightly claim under
other laws
Application Is Declared Personal
These are momentous words. Their
application Is specific and personal:
GA large responsibility rests directly
upon our citizens. There would be little

patronized it. We must awake to the fact
that this patronage from large numbers

President Hoover'S acceptance Of his
oficial responsibility is rightly Joined to
his statement Of our obligations as pri-

compelling invitation.

us in following the President.

PUBLICITY HELPS
CHICAGO CRUSADE
Politicians Cease Attending
Gangsters' Funerals, As
ISOLATION Finds.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 3-The Illinois AS
ISOLATION for Criminal Justice said to-
day that "pitiless publicity has brought
about a great decline In the number
of judges, aldermen and other poll
ticans attending funerals Of criminals. "
The report covering funerals Of
notorious gangsters was prepared for
the association by John Landesco Of
the American Institute Of Criminal
Law and Criminology.
The long list of Judges, public OH
cials, politicians and others printed in
the newspapers as being honorary at
tendants at the funerals Of big Jim
Colosimo in 1920, and others-gun-
men, beer-runners and their ilk, who
met death as he did-dwtndled during
an eigtt-year period until none Of
prominence attended the last rites OF
Big Tim" Murphy In 1928" the re-
port said.
Bath House John" Was There.
The funeral of Big Jim" Colosimo
was described as having brought to-
sether "a complete and picturesque
representation of the Chicago that lies
outside the Gold Coast.
Among the honorary pallbearers,
the report stated, were aldermen,
Judges, Congressman, noted singers OF
the Chicago Opera Co, leaders OF his
immigrant group and his associates In
underworld activities.
cd txy q
Alderman (Bath-House john Cough
lin of the first ward pronounced 9
prayer"
The association survey noted two
agencies in the community which held
aloof from the general public interest
in this and similar funerals" One was
the Roman Catholic Church, and the
survey quoted the following interpreta-
ton by the Rev. Father Philip r
Manany of Cardinal Mundelein's refusal
Of Christian burial to gangsters:
His eminence makes 1t plain to his
pastors that any gangster who, because
Of his conduct, Is looked upon as q
public sinner or who by his refusal to
comply with the laws of his church
regarding attendance at church serv-
ices and Easter duty reception Of the
sacrament Of penapce and holy COM
munion during the Easter season., such
a man Is to be refused Christian
burial
Cash Nexus" Also Blamed.
The other agency alluded to was the
newspapers. which generally were out
spoken against the attendance of
gangster funerals by public officials.
The report draws the conclusion that
one reason for the decline in attend
ance of big names" at gangster rites
is the public disapproval Of the politico-
criminal alliance. The most powerful
factor" however, was believed to be
the profound change chat is taking
place in the nature of the relations of
organized crime and machine politics. -
The old basis in friendly relations is
being superseded by cash MENUS" the
report sets forth.

A letter expressing disapproval Of the
recently organized voluntary committee
Of lawyers opposed to the eighteenth
amendment, and an answer to it by
Joseph H. Choate, IT., member Of the
board of managers Of the committee,
were also published.
Marshall Stimson, Los Angeles Attor-
ney, asked that the committee refrain
from using the word lawyers" to avoid
bringing the legal profession further
into disrespect." He asked whether any
members Of the committee were re-
tanned by interests seeking repeal Of
the amendment.
Prohibition Held Remedial Evil"
Mr.. Choate replied that honest belief
is the sole handspring Of the move
ment, adding: I'VE believe that pro-
hibition is the most serious remedial
evil from which the country now suf-
fers."
The message to the American people
and the lawyers letters were published
a day after the announcement that
Justice Franklin @. Hoyt of the New
York Children's Court had been
awarded the prize of Sal. 900 offered by
William r. Hearst for substitute plan
for prohibition.
Justice Hoyt's plan called for repeal
of the Volstead act and enactment of
q new law defining Intoxicating
liquors" as "all alcoholic products Of
distillation," thereby excluding wines
and beer. Trafic in wine and beer
would be under State regulation under
his plan.

crowd He has quieted down little
now, but Is still q sport. Two OF the
detectives tried TO hnd out whether
Kidwell and Kern were really substan-
tial citizens"
Kern was under surveillance by a
number Of detectives, who made reports
on his financial standing. the house he
owned. mortgages on the property. etc.
Day was said to have directed that
Kern's brother be Swallowed, in order
to ascertain how Juror Kern could be
riding around Washington In automo-
biles. In the detectives reports, Kern
was described as quite sport, will go
to the races whenever he can, takes
drink and takes q chance on any
kind Of a bet"
Glasscock, the third Juror, was
Swallowed by man employed by the
detective agency under the name OF
Long. Long, whose name was McMul-
lin, later became a witness for the
Government and testified that Rudy,
the Burns man In charge OF the jury
shadowing, instructed him to report
falsely that Horace r. Lamb, special
assistant to the Attorney General. had
engaged Juror Glasscock in converse

testimony that Ruddy told McMullin

Their defense was the contention tnat

because 1t had been the practice OF tne

thew we're privileged to shadow the jury

They contended further that so long
as they did not directly approach tne
Jurors or come in actual contact with
them. or converse with them, they were
not tampering with the jury and tnat
no offense was committed so near to the
presence of the court that the court mad
jurisdiction to adjudge the defendants
guilty of contempt.
