Bad Man From Texas
Is Taken to GaIIinger

Out West men are men, but when
John Manchese Taylor. jr.. feet
incLe, and 290 pounds, came from
Carimore, Okla, to Washington, he
was sent to Gallinger Hospital for
mental observation.
Policeman J. w. Kite arrested him
yesterday at Third and Pennsylvania
Avenue. where he was seen hanging
around suspiciously. Kite says he
found an old style .S6-caliber western
Colt with two notches on the butt
and loaded with flat-nosed bullets on
Taylor.
TAYLOR himself boasts that he has
killed eight men. not in Washington
to be sure. but in Texas. He said
he was a United States marshal at
large and that he had been in every
jail in the country.
He added a lot of other things too
but they. didn't seem to make much
sense to Kite so he took the man to
the hospital.

Department Of Justice is a move in this

Department Of Justice Is a move in this
direction.
Much, indeed, has been done to i'm
prove the Federal system in the last
decade. The establishment of the
United States Industrial Reformatory
at Chillicothe, Ohio, and the Federal
Industrial Institution for Women at
Anderson, w. Va, start upon the Fed
eral probation system, and the authori-
zation of two narcotic drug farms are a
few examples of progressive tendency.
In personnel, in appropriations and in
the recognition of its importance, the
Prison Bureau has not kept pace with
developments in the sphere of Federal
criminal affairs.
l. A small group of 19 employees has
been charged with the duty of admin
iStering this growing business, and while
comparisons may be odious one has but
to look at other Government bureaus,
such as the Prohibition Bureau, Iden-
tification Bureau and the Veterans Bu-
reau, to realize how inadequate this per-
Sonnel is.
2. The Presidents Commission on
Law Enforcement and Observance, in
common with every other investigating
body. is calling for information and
statistics of crime and criminals. Ger
tainly no intelligent action can be taken
until such statistics are provided.
Whether the Prison Bureau should take
the lead or not in the gathering and
compilation of State statistics of crime,
certainly it ought not only to know the
