ENFORCEMENT LAW
BILLS APPROVED
New York Assembly Body
Favors Plans-Criticism
Aimed at Committee.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, March 13-BillS pro-
viding for State enforcement of the pro-
hibition law In cases of beverages con-
tanning more than per cent alcohol
were before the Assembly today, having
been approved in committee.
The bills, introduced by ASSemblyman
Edmund B. jerks, Republican, of
Broome, provided in their original form
for State enforcement of beverages con-
tanning more than one-half of per cent
alcohol. They emerged in their present
form from the codes committee after
day Of bewildering action, which saw
the committee first approve them, then
withdraw, amend. kill. reconsider, amend
again and finally report them favor
ably.
The committees action was termed by
the father of the original bills to be
adding insult to injury" He severely
criticized Assemblyman Willis H. Sar-
gent Of Syracuse. Republican,, who was
credited with having the bills withdrawn
after they were once reported out and
then having them amended as they now
stand.
Sargent said that the committees
move was the only one which would
give an enforcement bill the slightest
chance Of getting through both houses
of the Legislature during the present
session.
Just a joke" was the way S. E.
Nicholson, associate superintendent Of
the State Anti-Saloon League, charac-
terized the amended measures.

that their organization would like to see
Col. Brand reappointed. 1t Is under
stood that they we're assured that Col.
Brand would be given every considera-
ton. but they went away without PROM

appointment.
The local Republican organization
recommended the appointment OF John
Lewis Smith as associate Justice OF
the Supreme Court of the District at
the time Henry H. Classic of Maryland
was elected by President Coolidge. mas
much as Mr.. Classics nomination, like
that of Col Brand, was not acted
upon by the Senate before adjournment,
friends of Mr. Smith are actively re-
newing their advocacy OF his appoint

stood that during their call yesterday
Mr.. Colladay and Mr.. Galliher did not
take up the matter Of the court ap-

Jars for Flowers
Sent Burlingame
Found s'Filled Up

Out looking for empty jars to
use as vases for the flowers sent
by friends to Capt. Guy E. Bur-
lingame. exonerated second pre-
cinct commander. Policemen Les
ter Parks and E. B. Poole last
night returned with so jars full,
instead of empty.
AS the flowers, marks of felici-
tation to Capt. Burlingame, began
to arrive at second precinct, the
problem of obtaining vases came
up and the two officers were dele
gated to procure containers. Ac-
cordingly they went to an alley
running of MAYORS Court. where
they had seen a number of
empty half-gallon jars several
days before. But last night the
jars were gone.
The officers continued their
search in house they supposed
to be vacant. AS they entered
the rear door, man came in the
front entrance, carrying two cases
of liquor. When he saw the po-
licemen, he dropped the cases
and fed.
Parks and Poole returned to
the second precinct with their
seizure, but without the vases.

appointed commissions and it will be
| interesting to read these findings.
There can be no doubt that much
good will come from them. If they
do nothing else than to arouse the
people as to their responsibility of
citizenship, their efforts will not be
in vain.
And it is we'll that these COM
missions are at work. Statistics show
that last year the cost of crime in
America was enormous. One writer
places the cost at thirteen billions of
dollars. Another places it at eleven
billions eight hundred millions. Such
sum, at first blush, is unbelievable,
but, taking everything into consider
alton, property damage, cost of exc
uetion of law etc, each of these es-
Inmates is conceivable. Therefore, If
the commission can find some way
to cut down this enormous cost, what
a load will be lifted from the shoul-
ders of the people.
Crime Increases
Zone cannot look up statistics
without coming to the conclusion
that crime is on the increase in this
country continued the judge. Last
year, it is said, there were 10000 citi-
zens killed by criminals, or one per-
son every As minutes. Lesser crimes
have also increased. Our jails and
penitentiaries give evidence of the
bending of our social structure. In
this state we are at the peak load in
our .penitentiary and at our indus
trial school. There are approximat-
ely Csc inmates in the penitentiary
and about ia boys in our industrial
school. The sad part about all of
this is the fact that there are. more
young men in our penitentiaries than
ever before.
"The reason for these conditions is
the all-important question before the
American people. There may be many
theories advanced as to the primary
cause, but am old fashioned enough
to believe that there is just one fun
damental cause and that is the lack of
proper home environment. In this
day and age, regret to say, parental
responsibility is frequently shifted to
someone else and, in many cases, to
course, cannot be done with success

charged with juvenile delinquency
and seldom has there been one whose
home conditions have been right. So,
in my judgment, it is the neglect of
the parent that causes child delin-
quency and eventually, if this is not
curbed, the criminal.
But this is not all. The criminal
procedure of this state should be re-

when we consider what basic fac

the lives of all of us, we can better

and then a means of transporting
ourselves from one point to another.
Theydesire to explore-to go places
has always been with us and not I'M
til the arrival of the automobile had
this desire been gratified to the ut

Mr.. Klinger does not view the air
plane as competitor of the automo-
bile; rather he regards it as a valu-
able ally. He said, "As matter of
fact the airplane is no more COM
petitor of the automobile than the
radio is to the newspaper. For every
plane that goes into the air there will
be the need of one more autombile

ton. The automobile business is still
expanding. The replacement market
is getting larger each year and we
find higher average of automobiles
per family than existing in previous
years.
Mr.. Klinger believes that the coun-
try is exceptionally sound, that bus
mess conditions are in excellent shape
and states that Chevrolet in the
first six months of the new year has
an excellent opportunity to equal the
remarkable record set during the first
six months of this year."

Crime Commission

Strengthening of the Montana jury
system by the service of ministers of

ficers and editors, and the privilege
Of waving a jury trial in felony ac-
lions were law changes advocated by
Judge S. D. McKinnon of Miles City,
In recent address on crime work in
Montana delivered before civic or
Eanization in Great Falls. The judge
blamed home environment to great
extent for increasing juvenile delin-
quency, which, he declared, led to
crime.
Reviews Organization
The speaker reviewed the organic
alton of the commission by the last
state legislature and cited some of
its duties. 1t is to examine the crime
situation in this state, with special
consideration of procedure of prose-
cution, and trial of persons accused
of crime, and of the punishment, par
don and parole of convicted persons,
and to present findings and recon-
mendations to the next legislature
together with drafts of bills neces-
sary to secure the changes which, in
its opinion, will tend to provide the
state with more efficient system for
swift and certain administration of
justice, he said.
"The task assigned to the commits
sion is very important one," de-
clared Judge McKinnon. ut will
readily be seen that it is confronted
with two general subjects: First, the
cause of crime, and, second, measures
that will in some way combat that
cause. These are, indeed difficult
questions and, while they are of i'm
mediate concern to the commission,
still they should have the attention
of every man and woman in this
state. Therefore, we welcome sug-
gestions.
EVERY citizen should be vitality in
terested in his government. He owes
this duty to himself and his family.
This was a responsibility that he as
snmed as citizen. 1t cannot be
evaded without jeopardizing the great
principles established for US by our
forefathers. But it is evident that
many citizens have been lax in this
regard, They have shifted the bur
den and when things are not as they
should be there is criticism and one
of the things criticized today is our
method in dealing with crime. This
is the question that is now confront
ing the American people.
president Hoover, a short while
ago, took cognizance of the increase
in crime in this country and appoint
ed a commission to study conditions
and make findings. Various states
have followed this course and have
