"Sterilized Conscience" Blamed
By Local Jurist For Defiance OF
18th Amendment and VOlstedd Ldqv

that there may be developed in the
young fixed conviction that the
use of and traffic in intoxicating liqu-
ors is under the law something harm
full and disgraceful to the citizens.
Fourth
Further, let the enforcement act
provide that the courts have the
right to impose the loss of the right
of suffrage perpetually or for
definite period of years in its dis
erection, upon a second conviction, for
the manufacture or sale of intoXica-
ing liquors. Any man who after
such a conviction has then shown his
disregard for the Constitution of his
country by repeating the offense,
ought to forfeit his right to assist
in the government of his country by
casting a ballot, just as every official
who so violates the Constitution
which he has sworn to support ought
to forfeit his right to take part in
the government by surrendering his
office
Experience and observation have
convinced me that small fines for en-
gaging in the liquor traffic are treat
ed by offenders as a mere license for
other offenses, and that only term
of Imprisonment can put the fear of
the law in the hearts Of the morons
and greedy criminals who get sup
port or accumulate fortunes by de-
family violating the prohibition act.
The small fines now authorized and
imposed in many cases cause the
public to believe that such violations
are merely venial offenses and are
not to be regarded as at all serious.
Therefore the courts ought to be al
lowed to punish by a term of i'm
prisonment in all cases.
Sixth
Some of the great states which eX-
ercise vast influence throughout the
republic refuse to maintain an en-
forcement act under the concurrent
authority contained in the second
section of the 18th Amendment. |
thereby suggest, if it be thought the
foregoing five suggestions are not
sufficient, that in such states those
officers whose duty it is to run down
crime and protect society from crime
and criminals, be required by act of
Congress to assist in the enforcement
of the federal statute and be subject
to the duties of federal officers en-
gagged in similar official duties so that
offenders may know that the
public interests are being guarded
by state as well as federal SUPER
vision, but of course such a statute
ought not to apply to officers of a
state which maintains an enforce
ment act By this legislation the po-
lice of great and small cities and the
constables Of all the counties would
be required to support the federal
and the enforcement Of
the 18th Amendment would be made
vastly more effective in states in
which so much has been said and
done to make it appear that enforce
ment is impossible. The passage Of
such statute would be allowed by
an enforcement act in all the states,
l believe and would help to arouse
public opinion in favor Of the obser-
vance and enforcement Of the pro
hibition laws, particularly in such
states as New York, Maryland and
Connecticut.

FAST BOUTS STAGED

Five fast boxing bouts were staged
last night by the Sidearms Club, COM
posed of members of the 29th Military
Police of the District National Guard.
The bouts, held in the T-U Building Of
the Guard armory, were try-outs to de-

future Guard matches, in which it is
planned every organization in the
militia here will compete. The Sidearms
Club hereafter will stage cars at the
conclusion Of each weekly business ses-
sion.
Eugene A. Gross of the NJ. Ps and
Sergt. Tom McGaffin of Co. A, 121st

Gross and Sergt. McGafin also took
part in other bouts, the former besting
Claude A. Amidon, also of the M p.
company, and the latter scoring tech
nical knockout over Willard Lawrence,

RYDER MAKING MILE
PHENOM OF LERMOND
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With Lloyd Hahn indicating no desire
to come out of retirement, his coach,
Jack Ryder of the Boston A. A., has
set about developing another star miller
in Leo Lermond.
Lermond's Specialties, prior to this
year, were at distances of two miles and
up He competed and finished fourth
in the Olympic 5,000-ueter pace (about
three miles, last Summer, but his recent
development as miller under Ryder's
tutelage has been sensational.
In the indoor mile of the century
last March, Lermond chased Ray Con-
ger in a remarkable race which the
latter won in Alb Us. with Edwin Wide
trailing both Americans. Last Saturday
Lermond reeled OF the best American
outdoor mile of many years when he
stepped the distance in Ala 3-5 to beat
Orval Martin of Purdue at the Penn
relays.
Thus, Lermond, in few months, has
established his class as a miller where
those capable of beating AIS in the last
score of years can be counted on the
fingers of two hands.

RACE TRACK STRIKE
APPEARS NEAR END
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AURORA. Ill. May 3.-The horse
mems strike. which has delayed the
opening of Chicagos racing season at
Aurora track for three days, neared
termination today.
1t was virtually certain the track
would open tomorrow with the strikers
running their horses.
Although no compromise has been
effected, the strikers believe they have
found legal method to collect per
cent of all winning moneys for the
upkeep of their organization. the
Thoroughbred Horse Association.
Their plan calls for each horseman,
desiring to contribute to the association,
to present track officials written as
signment of the purse portion he desires
to go to the organization. Such a de-
duction has been one of the principal
demands of the strikers, but the track
officials refused to make blanket
collection.
Another demand of the strikers, for
increased purses, will be forgotten If
the track officials agree to their deduc-
ton plan. one of their leaders intimated.
Clifford Trimble. general manager OF
the Aurora course, said such deduc-
ton plan was agreeable to him.

SURE TO MAKE BID
. FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
Club Comes to Life in Fine
Style After Disgusting
Mack in Spring.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

n YEW YORK, May 3.-The Phila-
delphia Athletics are a much
better team than they were last
4 year. At Fort Myers during
Spring training they were In
semi drugged condition. They dawdled
and groMched. They were so frosted
from a hard Winter around the stoves
up North that the Southern sun never
had a chance.
Connie Mack was much disappointed
at the time.
But his perpendicular smile has been
in evidence again since the team came
North. Right now their standing in
the American League is almost COM
parable to that of the Yankees last
season. Maybe they will finish in the
same way. too.
Ruth and Gehrig Fail.
To date the prophets who placed so
much faith in Messrs. Ruth and Lou
Gehrig have been much disappointed.
The Yankees are not performing as
they should. True. Ruth and Gehrig
cannot be held solely to blame. But
fortunately for the game of base ball,
two good batters do not make team.
But the Athletics have certainly come
to life. Maybe it is the jokes Of Kid
Gleason. He handles them like a big
OtA1CA OCSOtlI OuoC dlAo SA4SA IobOP 20
sitions are held, Just now, by better
players than for some time. That helps.
Max Bishop, second baseman, was
content with a Serviceable type of base
ball heretofore. but this year he has
been quite another second basenan. His
fielding record easily proves it and he
has been batting well. Against the
Yanks he was given five bases on balls
in succession.
Bishop Is Stepping Out.
When Bishop arrived at Fort Myers
this year he issued a statement regard
ing his possibilities in 1929, emphasizing
the fact that some one had put lighted
gasoline under his feet and he meant
to step out. He has been stepping.
Jimmy Dykes is playing short for the
Athletics. While he has played every
post on the team except official scorer,
he fits into shortStop just as he should.
Maybe Dykes and Bishop will team up
in such way that the Athletics will
spend the remainder of the season sing
ing a song of victory.
The quicker the New York Yanks
realize that the season of publicity and
I Spring homogeneous is over and that
championship is to be won, the steadier
they will become under fire. and they
ere going to be on duty on the firing
lie many many times before they can
gut their heads on their pillows and
tumble we're in again"

League Leader, After Swing
Around Loop, Says Watch
Macks and Browns.

BY the Associated Press.
~ HICAGO, May 3.-After swing
around the circuit, President E.
S. Barnard is more convinced
~ than ever that the Yankees
have real fight on their hands
in the American League pennant race
this season.
Just keep your eyes on Philadelphia, p"
Barnard limited. They are going to
surprise. everybody. They are danger
GUS from the top of the batting order
down to the eighth man and I believe
they have shaken off their old jinX Of
failing In the pinch.
The Yankees so far have shown they
do not have the steadineSs of recent
campaigns. This is indicated by their
record of this Spring as compared to
last. At this time in 1923, they had
rolled up record of IL victories against
three defeats and were well out in front.
Today their mark is six victories and
four defeats. The difference can be at
tributed to a weakening of their pitch
ing staff.

are accurate. Their best average was
1865, made in 1912, which has been bet
tered several times.
The best batting outfleld ever assem-
bled on one team was Ed Delehanty
Sam Thompson and Billy Hamilton OF
the Phillies of 1898, 1894 and 1895. In
1894 that trio had a combined average
of .401, and to show that it was no
fluke, they came back in 1895, the last
year they played together, with 1895
and in 1893 they hit for .379, giving
them 1872 for the three years. After
them came the Orioles of 1894, 1895
and 1896. with Kelley, Keeler and
Brodie, with .371 for three years. The
nearest approach to the Phillies' two
high marks of .401 and 1895 was made
by Kelley, Keller and Stencil in 1897
with 1872 am inclosing figures so
you can check up and verify them.
