REAL CRIMINALS

Conviction of Harold Davis, former chief deputy

as a prisoner, and awaiting sentence.

the foot Of the rainbow.
In positions where they were able to demand and
receive the respect and honor of all men, they chose
to forego this privilege to associate with those who
make their living by besrnirching the law Smart as
they were, Keyes and Davis not smart enough to
admit to themselves the certain futility of their
folly. Their egotism led them into the belief that
they could prostitute their office and none would be
the wiser.
The fact that they convicted on the testimony
of men who led them into crime and whose reputa-
tions not such to stamp them good citizens
does not lessen the evidence against them AS their
prosecutor expressed it. "Keyes and Davis went down
into the ire and it necessary to go down into the

official who deliberately and wantonly debauches his
office and the trust reposed in him for the sake of
money, is criminal of the first water. There is
nothing accidental about his transgresson. 1t is

himself fools.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S MUD

Uncle Wiggily was very fond Of

forty sixteen little rabbit boys and
girls. More than once he had got
ten up early in the morning just
to change around the shoes aud
stockings of the bunny children 80
they would be all mixed up when
they started to dress.
OF course Uncle Wiggilv did not
play a trick like that on the morn
ings when there was school. For he
did not want the children to be
late. so he only mixed the shoes and
stockings on Saturday or in vaen-

''He is too silly" said Uncle

NOT A NICE RECORD

CALIFORNIA; crime list, as given to the press in
part, in the report of Clarence Morrill, chief of the
State Bureau of Criminal Identification is not rec
ord of which the state may be proud.
Morrs report deals only with what are classed
as major criminals - those whom peace officials
deem it necessary to fngerprint and investigate.
In the year ending June 80, Morrills office
handled 47,34O cases, ranging from murder down to
the lesser crimes of carrying concealed weapons and
contributing to the delinquency of minors.
1t is interesting to that for violation
of the prohibition law increased from 4762 the prev-
year. 0509 for the period covered in the report
This is more than double increase in one year and
indicates that many Californians not taking ser-
ously the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution
What is more astounding even than the increase in
prohibition violations, however is the extraordinary
number of murders.
There were ACT persons booked for murder Some
of these were doubtless released as innocent, some
were merely held for investigation and others were
convicted. Just how many of the 467 come in the
latter-cass the report does not state.
Recently the annual crime report for the city of
London was published 1t showed total of 18
ders were committed there in one year. OF the 18
every solved and the murderer punished. In
several of the the murderer did the furnishing
himself by committing suicide knowing that death on
the gallows inevitable.
There is vast difference between 18 murders and
467 persons booked for murder. To the latter num-
ber must be added where life was taken and
no arrests made.
Figuring roughly, the population of California
can be reckoned at something less than five million.
The city of London is Approximately seven million.
lhe amount or crime IN the two places is altogether
out of proportion in comparison with populations.
When considers that London officers do carry
guns, it adds to the marvel that their crime

The London police not altogether responsible
for this minimum amount of crime, for they have the
support and cooperation of most Englishmen. The
English have been taught respect for law down through
the years and this respect that enables their police
to go unarIned Moreover the policeman is encour-
aged in his work through the knowledge that if he ar
rests guilty that man is going to be punished
gardess of his wealth social position.
Respect for law is vitay necessary for the pro-
lection Of society. There not be policemen for
every person, but each himself should be his own
policeman. Until we get rid of the idea that it is

LITTLE HOPE HELD
FOR MISSING BOAT
Search on Lake Michigan
Fails to Reveal Trace of
Andaste With % Aboard.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 13-Hope was
all but abandoned today for the missing
gravel ship Andaste and its crew of 90.
Coast Guardsmen returning from a
search for the vessel, three days over
due in Chicago from Grand Haven,
Mich, said neither Lake Michigan nor
the Michigan shore had given single
clue to the ships fate.
Z The Andaste, loaded with gravel for
the Construction Materials Co., would
/ have sunk quickly if its steel plates
sprang leak in midlake, members OF
the South Chicago Coast Guard said
today. The Coast GuardSmen had just
returned from a search which extended
along the shore between Grand Haven
and Chicago. No sign of Wreckage was
found.
Crew Given Little Chance.
Because of its load and its steel con-
struction, the Guardsmen said the boat
would have gone down, with little
chance for Capt. Albert Anderson or
any members of the crew to escape.
Capt Anderson has sailed the lakes
for As years and during 80 years OF
that time has held a masters license.
Eugene F.. Mcdonald, president of the
Zenith Radio Corp, left early today in
his lSO-foot yacht, Mizpah, to search
for the missing boat. He is cruising
north and east, covering that part of
the lake over which the Andaste would
have travelled after leaving Grand
Haven Monday morning. Airplanes and
Coast Guard crews from several lake
ports also were engaged in the search.
Members of Crew.
Other officers aboard the AndaSte
besides Capt. Anderson were: Charles
Brown of Grand Haven, first mate;
Frank KaSperson of Grand Haven. sec
ond mate; c. j. Kibbey. chief engineer;
Ralph Wiley of Benton Harbor, sec
ond engineer, and Harry F. Lutz Of
Benton Harbor, third engineer.
Among members of the crew were:
