A Laboratory Case

If congress were really in earnest IN de-
string facts concerning prohibition enforce
ment it might send committee to the
northern part of the state to get the history
of law in the Calumet.
Senator Borah dry, is very certain that
the prohibition law can not be enforced with
the present agencies. The administration re-
torts that it will supplant all officials who are
negligent.
The statesmen, if they do not already
know, could gain some Illuminating facts OF
the close connection between the lack OF en-
forcenent and the corruption of government
by making a laboratory case of Indiana.
That huge election frauds were committed
in 1926 and in 1928 in the Calumet district
was evident from the returns themselves.
They were made certain by the confessions
of some who participated in them.
For nearly three years the government
has had the affidavit of one man that lmmu-
nifty from prosecution for liquor law VIOLA
tions was the price exacted and given for
the fraudulent votes.
1t is very certain that the records OF Ted
eral or local enforcement showed no ACTIVITY
for three years and that the Calumet was as
wet as Lake Michigan on which it borders.
Apparently the bootlegger was safe II ne
paid tribute in money or votes to the political
machines of the counties and cities.
When the first gesture of enforcement
was forced by public opinion, federal officials
found it easy to indict several hundreds Oh
violators. The dragnet included officials ana
criminals.
CONGRESS- might be interested in what
happened when Washington was compelled
to send special prosecutors to aid the district
attorney who had selected the time set Tor
grand jury probe as most favorable for a
vacation, and who, later, said that conditions
justified martial law.
Congress might be interested in the out
come of indictments drawn by its expert
when politicians and policemen were &C
cused of being hijackers, rum runners ana
bootleggers.
Congress- might be interested in learning
WHY federal officials were unable to locate
Burke. most famous of killers, when ne was
pointed out by newspaper reporters as the
man who made the deal for Importation Oh
fraudulent votes in the last federal election
and his address given to them.
Congress might be interested in the
murders of two witnesses who had appeared
before the grand jury and given testimony
of election frauds and the protection OF
crime.
Congress might be interested in the at
tempt to murder a newspaper man who was
most annoying in his persistency in offering
evidence to federal authorities.
The battle between Borah and the other
drys might have a chance of resulting IN
something more than a debate were congress
to send committee to Indiana and put the
activities of the various agencies OF law I'M
der it's microscope.
Election frauds, bootlegging, bank rob-
hing. indifference or incompetence of officials
seem to be tied in the same package. Why
not take off the cover?

WHATEVER else may be said d
wv it, the French note appears
to have been thought out more
carefully than some of the criti-
cism to which it has been subjected.
The New York World wonders
If it would not be wiser to call Of
the naval conference, while out of
Washington comes the suggestion
that France may be counted out If
it is held.
Such views smack of childishness
more than good sense.
After all, France has done little,
except to make a clear, candid
statement not only with regard to
her own position, but with regard to
the problem of disarmament i'll
general.
Those who interpret the French
note as a trading proposition, or a6
revealing sinister motives, miss the
mark.
France has told the world what
she thinks, rather than the con-
ferees what she will do, and the
conferees are sore not only because
what she thinks may interfere with
their present pans, but because 1t
reveals the weakness of their posi-

France Airs Views

TITO begin at the beginning,
l. France thinks that the disarm-
anaent problem should not be han
died by and through the League OF
Nations.
We Americans can not subscribe
to that view, because our government
is not a member.
At the same time we so desire to
have the problem handled that we
constantly are. calling conferences
and proposing agreement.
Considering the fact that we not
only played godfather to the League
of Nations at Versailles, but yir-
tually forced France to accept it,
our position is anomalous to say the
least.
France thinks that the disarma-
ment problems should be p
preached as a whole, the air, land
and naval forces should be regarded
as interdependent, and that it is
useless to look for a general Solu-
ton of the problem by dealing with
them separately.
Such a view is but the natural out
growth Of her experience and cir
cumStanceS.
France has grown accustomed to
fear attack by all three branches.
We, on the other hand, can not
visualize invasion except by sea, and
can not get it into our heads that
there is much of anything to the
disarmament problem except naval
reduction,

a ND yet certain publicists won
IN der why the law and its process
are insufficently respected in the
United States. Surely somebody
should undertake to complete the
Americanization of Magistrate Syl-
vester Sabbatino before he is al
lowed to try any more cases.
The educational process would
have to begin pretty near the bot
tom, for Sabbatino does not seem
to have grasped at all the function
of the Judiciary in q. free country.
In defense of the magistrate it
might be said he has paid too much
attention to certain American ac-
tivities in behalf of Haiti and the
furtherance of prohibition.
From these models he might very
well assume that America was de-
voted to the theory that public
policy was a matter to be decided
by force and terrorism alone. Yet
congratulations should not be made
upon isolated instances.

NUTMEG.WILLIAMS
 GAME MAY THRILL
Locals Face Only League Team
 Which Has Shown Glass

Tn the Williams football team of New Haven the Nutmeg eleven faces the one member of the Eastern Professional football league which has given the Hardware City team real battle. The second meeting of these two teams will take place Cunday afternoon at Memorial field, Willow Brook park.
 The score on the first occasion was 13 to in New Britain's favor. New Haven threatened on several oc- casions and in the last quarter the Nutmeg team was on the defense for the greater part of the time.
 Two things which should serve to make the game an even bet are the facts that New Britain linemen and backs are on the injured list and that the Elm City team has been strengthened by the addition of new material in several of the positions.
 The Nutmeg hospital list includes Buckley, Grip, Beloin, Gallagher and Humphrey.

New York, Oct. 25 PAThe lure of a s250.oOo purse may cause Max schmeling, Teuton heavy weight, to hasten his return from Germany to the shores that gave him a rather better than small forums during the past year.
 Herman Taylor and Rob Gunnis or Philadelphia, and Bob Duffy, New York manager, have offered Sehmelins A quarter of a million dcllars for l5-round match at Con- vtntion Hall, Atlantic City, N. J., against the best available oppo- nent' in January.
 With the announcement that Jack Dempsey would not be selected to face the Teuton puncher the matter or an opponent may give the pro- motors a headache or two.

 He called attention to the fact that the musician, the writer, and other students who have special ability Tn college receive consideration for their ability. The athlete should also be considered, he said. Coach Cas- sidy however, does not mean that

 Persons who are opposed to this move are not progressive, MT. Cas- sidy believes. He said the best way 10 secure good citizenship and &C., complishment in this nation Is through education, and if these boys P do not have the benefit of an edu- cation through their athletic ability they are not likely to be given the

PRACTICE STARTED
 BY SOUTH CHURCH
Eleven Men Appear at First Session Games Planned

Eleven men put in an appearance at the first workout of the South Congregational church basketball squad last evening at the Boys club and it is expected that the three time County "Y" champions will be represented on the court by very strong team again this season.
 Clifford Bell, last years captain; Ted Vessels, regular center; Henry Rockwell, who starred in every position, and Kermet Parker, regu- lar guard, were on hand and gave the team four veterans from last year upon which to build. Otto Barta, another regular guard, is ex- pected to join the squad next week, but the other backcourt man, How ard May. has entered college and Wilton Mercy, Bells forward twin, is not likely to be seen in South church uniform much this season.
 Must Find New Forward
 ] lle lllilS ol Alo4 ry D .'iicNS f' \ sents the major problem the team faces. Rockwell may get the call while George "Yordy" Osborne former South church player whc was not with the team last year. is back again and is expected to make strong bid for the place. Francis Red" Ratings and Danny Wosilus of last seasons Reserves, showed tt good advantage last night and mus also be considered in filling tho gap. If one of these last three receives the assignment, Rockwell will return to guard, where h' played at the end of the 1928-2! season.
 Roy Havlick, captain of the las winters Juniors, aspires to move uI and is-sure of at least position on the Reserve team. The same i true of Willie Merza, guard on tn old Reserve and Junior quintets Able Joseph, Forward on thos teams, was present last night, but ; heavy cold kept him on the side [ lllltS.

HARVARD FLASHES
 SUDDEN STRENGTH
Crimson Eleven Has Spirit Uses BeWildering Passing Attack

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 25 (UP).- Like a sleeping giant suddenly come to life, Harvard's football eleven has asserted itself this sea- son, flashing a team spirit which in recent years has been lacking except in traditional jousts with Yale.
 It was this new spirit--a zest to win which long has been foreign to the Crimson-that enabled Coach Arnold Horween's charges to come from behind against Army last Sat urday and deadlock the score with a 49-yard forward pass.
 Horween. who should know his team better than grandstand observ- CTS, attributes what he sternly- after the manner of coaches-re- fused to consider a good showing" to the spirit of the team. Express ing dissatisfaction with the line, he said "the best thing about the team is it's spirit"
 Aerial Attack Formidable
 While Harvard supporters have enthusiastically applauded the Grim sons aerial attack this season, Hor- ween, in an interview today, be- Titled his teams accomplishments in this department. He thought the air game was comparatively good" but pointed out that in past years we've never had one that's been any good" This years forward passes materialize from a formation which had the Cadet wingbacks thoroughly bewildered last Satur- day.
 Asked if Harvard would attemp, the same aerial attack against Dart mouth tomorrow which has been SC uniformly successful against weak. CT teams this season, Horween said
 "We will if we can. Of course there will be a few cripples this Saturday who won't be able te play"
 | Horween expressed the belief tha this years Crimson eleven, whil, apparently better than its recen predecessors, could not be accur ately gauged as to power until afte, the Dartmouth game.
