famed University of Chicago physicist,

Prof. Nicholson broke an interviewer's

Prof. Nicholson is more than 80 years

JAILED IN STAMP THEFT.
Philippine Clerk Gets 10 Years and
Fine of About $1O6, 900.

MANILA, December 1S (R.-F1oren-
clio Reyes, former stamp clerk in the
Bureau of Posts, was convicted yesterday
of embezzling 2l2,349 pesos worth OF
stamps. He was sentenced to 10 years
in prison and fined the amount of the
embezzlement, about $106,O00.
Reyes property, which was seized
some time ago, amounts to only frac-
ton of the sum of the fine. The sheriff
is still busy locating the property of
Jose Topacio, director of the Bureau OF
Posts, against whom the government has
filed suit for 28l 900 pesos ($l40,500D
alleging it lost that amount through
his inefficient management of the de-
partment. Property amounting to
500, 600 in Topacio's name thus far has
been located.
Reyes was the first of several Bureau
of Posts employees to be tried as re-
suit of an investigation of the depart
ment.

YOUR PER CAPITA FOR CRIME

If you were asked to contri.
butte 500 in cash each year to
maintain an army of criminals so
that they might enjoy the privil
eye of robbing and killing as q
regular means of livelihood,
would you do it?
Yet every man, woman and
child in the United States today
directly or indirectly contributes
just about 500 a year to men
who live by commission of crime,
if statistics are correct.
1t is said that crime today costs
this country from ten to sixteen
billions of dollars every year.
That is about one-seventh of the
total earnings of the American
people.

THE THREE PHASES OF MINING

10 q recent address, A. G.. Nc
kenzie, Secretary. Utah Chap
ter, American Mining Congress,
said: In order to make metal
mining successful, three divisions
of the industry must be coordin
ated: /. Mining the known ore
reserves in such manner as to
yield the greatest return. 2.
Finding and developing new ore
reserves sufficient to replace
those depleted by operations.
3. Retaining the capital now in
the industry and obtaining new
capital for expansion and i'm
provements.
The first division requires Che
employment of suitable equip
ment, methods, technical skill
and labor. It includes the en-
tire purpose of the industry as a
business, and the distribution of
the wealth thus produced is
wide.
'"The second division, finding
and developing of new ore re
serves, determines the life of the
industry. Il is. therefore, of
vital Importance and is the one
most hazardous to capital.
THE third division, retaining
the capital now in the industry
and obtaining necessary new
capital, of course implies reason
able assurance of the return of
the capital and interest upon it
while employed in the industry,
and also that those having
charge of the property are max
ing proper provision for future
operations.
"These and other circumstan.
ces peculiar to the industry de-.
mand that earnings which would
seem large in another business
are conservative, proper and
necessary to maintain mining.
And mining must be maintained
to perpetuate modern civiliza.
tion."

The Hotel Esplendor is closedl
Inability on the part of the
new lessee, Leo Dillingham; of
Phoenix, to comply with the
terms of the recent contract he
held with the officers of the hotel
company is given as the cause of
the closing.
Harry ]. Karns, president of
the hotel company, Saturday
night took possession of the hos
telry and notified the manage.
ment that the contract was null
and void. while the sheriff's Office
took charge of the furniture and
equipment.
Replevin procedure by q large
coast business concern. to whom
the hotel is still indebted for
furnishings, also was a cause for
the suspension of operations Of
the hotel.
This is the second time the
hotel has been closed since it,
was erected. In 1923 the hotel
opened on March 23rd and was
kept open for approximately 60
days. On the same date in 1929
the hotel was re opened with
many promises and lasted less
than 30 days.
The new half million tourist
hotel, located on the beautiful
Patagonia highway overlooking
the twin cities of Nogales, is
having its share of financial
troubles. It's opening would ad-
mittedly be great boon for the
upbuilding of the city. but hotel
men say that the hotel must GO
through that period and perhaps
face big loss until it can be
firmly established and backed
with more money.
1t is known that two wealthy
easterners are angling for pos.
session of the building.
It is reported that the mort.
gage, approximately 500. 10000
held by DR.. P. D. Clagett will
likely be foreclosed.

company, Saturday night an
inounced that he had taken pos
session of the hotel while the

It is said that only enough money
was in the hotel fund at the time

not pay, who gets this almost
unthinkable amount of money?
Now. how has itNbecome posi-.
BILE tofdevelop and entrench such
a gigantic flourishing industry
of crime in this country? There
might be q hundred answers to
that question. The most obvi
Gus itseems to US, is the popular
indifference to crime which has
its effect in the slow and lame
workings of the processes of jus.
tice. Failure to arrest and con.
vict criminals is perhaps the
biggest single factor in this
astounding situation.
Mr., Hepbron shows that in
Baltimore, "a typical American
city," there were 10000 serious
crimes reported to the police and
in the final analysis only 81
prisoners were punished"
Warden Lawes of Sing Sing
penitentiary says that the aver.
age time between commitment to
the death house and the execu.
tion Of a condemned murderer is
almost one year" What length
of time elapses between the mur.
derer's crime and his ultimate
conviction we do not know, but
all Americans know that even
where it is possible to secure q
conviction for murder, it is not
uncommon for it to take several
years.
No wonder Chief Justice Taft
says the operation of criminal
law in this country is a scandal.
The fault of this lies largely
with the people. They make it
possible for crooked criminal
lawyers and weak jurors to cheat
justice in so many cases which
results, of course, in the en-.
courage ment-of crime.
In England only about six
weeks elapse between the time
of trial. including every known
appeal, and the criminals exc.
cntion. That is why England
has so little crime as compared
with that in the United States. -
