DETECTIVE UNIT

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 2s.-A CEN
trail detective force for every state
in the Union, modelled on the IA
nous Scotland Yard system and
available for any crime that re-
quires special training, has been
suggested by the national crime
commissions executive committee.
So important does Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt regard the
suggestion that, as a member Of the
committee, he has asked Senator
Caleb H. BauneS, chairman of the
state crime commission, to investi-
gate and report regarding its de-
STABILITY.
If Baumes reports favorably,
Roosevelt plans to lay before the
legislature at it's present session a
bill which would provide New York
state with a Scotland Yard Of its
own.
Baunes, one of the country's
great experts on crime conditions,
is the author of the widely known
Baumes law that has become a ter
ror to criminals.
It's main provision is a mandatory
life sentence for habitual criminals
in the law defined as one who has
been convicted three times previous
ly for serious offenses.
In his letter to Baumes, Roosevelt
summed up the question to be con-
sidered as follows:
"Shall the state of New York
establish a state bureau, composed

the detection of criminals, whose
services shall be at the disposal of
any sheriff, upon his request, and

The child automatically becomes a

The former maharajah has had

The former maharajah is reputed

Myron Dawson Jr. asked Judge
Joseph M. Miner in superior court
Saturday to permit him to live with

family previous to the divorce lived
at Nora and both the husband and

families of that section. Mrs. Daw-
son and the younger son now live at
Broad Ripple. The judge took the

the law at which he is railing and jeer-

No citizen of the United States can

test. Either he is crook or he is, in

CriminaIity Progressing.
"It may seem a paradox" says Boris
Brasol in the preface of his THE Ele-
ments of Crime" and yet it is true that
no line of human 'endeavor' Is pro-
crossing as rapidly as criminality. The
modern criminal, especially of the ha-
bitual class, is fully equipped with all
the latest devices of technique, and,
consequently, criminal activities have
assumed a highly proficient and at
times strictly scientific character"
The criminal is an alien only men,

of some remote island. He is living
among us, part of the community in
a physical sense. He may be sitting
next to you in the subway or he may
live across the street or across the hall.
He shares equally with you in the
scientific advance of the Nation. He
has access to the automobile, to the
airplane, and, In New York State at
least, far reader access to the auto

Sugar Cane Use Sought
By Hawaiian Grower

Inquiries which recently have reached
Hawaii concerning the use of "bagasse"
for paper and wall-board manufacture
indicate lively interest in the possible
use of by-products of sugar cane.
Bagasse is the residue of the cane
after the long stalks have passed be-
tween the gigantic mill-rollers and all
the sugar content extracted. There re-
mains mass of hbrous material.
Already there are several projects I'M
der way here for the use of bagasse.
From it is made much of the coarse
paperlike sheets which are used as
"mulching paper" between rows of
pineapple plants. But the experiments
in wall-board manufacture are as yet
embryonic. though hopeful.
Since manufacture of paper from
cornstalks began in the United States
attention has been attracted to the pos
Sibilities of making news print or COM
mercial sheet paper from sugar cane.
One recently launched Hawaiian COM
panv hopes to sell its bagasse product
on the mainland for building material.
