Demand Governor Appoint
Group to Recommend
Needed Provisions.

Aroused by recent disclosures Of
wholesale election frauds in Indiana,
the executive board Of the Indiana
League of Women Voters today
asked Governor Harry G. Leslie to
appoint nonpartiSan commission
of public spirited citizens to recon-
mend to the legislature revision of
the states election laws.
"The startling disclosures OF
wholesale election frauds lend dis
astrous emphasis to the prediction
made during the 1929 legislature OF
what would happen in Indiana
without a registration law" de-
clared Mrs. S. Neil Campbell, vice
president, presiding at the executive
board meeting in state headquarters
here.
All Bars Are Down
with no legal list of voters, all
bars are down, and it is not sur
prising to learn from the Marion
county grand jury report that re-
peaters, fioaters, dead persons and
minors-yes, even crabtrees, were
voted in the recent election" Mrs.
Campbell asserted.
"The grand jury regretfully states
that it can not continue the investi-
CATION because it is hampered by
the lack of funds, which emphasizes
the fact that the investigation and
prosecution of election frauds is a
more expensive and much less eff
cient way of protecting our elections
than setting up permanent regis
tration system"
Mrs. Ralph E. Carter Of Indian
apolis, secretary of the league, de-
clared:
Citizens Interested
"The executive board of the
league respectfully has asked Gov
ernor Leslie to appoint commits
sion representing in a nonpartisan
way the decent citizens of the state
interested in honest elections to in
vestigate thoroughly the whole code
of election laws of the state and on
the basis Of their Investigations to
make definite recommendations to
the 1881 legislature for such changes
as are necessary to secure honest
elections in the state of indiana"
Mrs. Walter S. Greenough of In
dianapolis, chairman Of the eff1ci-
ency in government committee of
the league, also pointed out the
need for change in portions Of the
election code.

Helen was a beautiful blonde

Diplomatic Immunity.

Corporation Counsel Bride has ad-
vised the Commissioners not to take
immunity In traffic cases away from
the diplomatic corps. He is right and
he could have well gone further and
told the District heads that not only
did they have no authority to revoke
immunity, but that Congress will prob
ably never give them the authority.
Diplomatic immunity dates back to
the early days of relationship between
countries and has been in accepted
usage for hundreds Of years. There Is
no disposition on the part of Congress
to sever the friendly ties that bind the
United States to other powers.
Furthermore, as Mr.. Bride points out,
less than three accidents q year have
occurred between 1917 and 1929 in
which members Of the diplomatic corps
were involved. This is a remarkably
small number, considering that more
than five hundred persons are enjoy
ing diplomatic immunity. In all, ex-
cept the rarest of cases, therefore,
diplomats have scrupulously observed
the traffic regulations and kept them
selves free from mishap. And when it
is remembered that the British Ambas-
sador once voluntarily waived immunity
in an accident in which his car figured
there can be no justification for at
tempting to curb the privileges of our

Miami's New Vagrancy Law.

Recently "Scarface Al' Capone, at
the close Of period of retirement un-
der public auspices, after visit to his
home town of Chicago, repaired, as the
story books say, to Miami, Fla. There
he has an elaborate establishment on
an island which is just outside of the
municipal jurisdiction. Miami did not
welcome Mr.. Capone. Indeed, 1t tried
to keep him from entering its precincts.
1t had no Jurisdiction over his island
home, but ever since his arrival it has
been annoying him by putting him un-
der arrest whenever. he has appeared
within the city limits. Each time he
has given bond for subsequent appear
ance in court, and he has secured lot
Of writs, until the Capone case, as it
may be called, is in a state Of terrible
entanglementJ There has been some
question about the adequacy of the law
under which "scarface Al has been
hailed to court.
Now Miami has decided to make the
law cover his case, 80 the municipal
commission has just adopted a new
vagrancy ordinance. It defines a va
grant-in addition TO one who has no
visible means of support and may be-
come public charge-as ANY person
having visible means Of support &C.

Gus to the peace and safety OF the city
Of Miami, or any person or persons
known or reputed 20 be crooks, gang
sters or hijackers." The ordinance de-
clares that It shall be unlawful for any
such person to enter the limits Of the
city Of Miami or to travel upon the
streets, highways or sidewalks OF that
city. the penalty for this offense being
maximum fine Of $500, or q minimum
jail sentence OF sixty days, or both.
This is vagrancy law with teeth in
1t. 1t has great possibilities for effect
ing thoroughgoing cleanup. No
longer will the mere wastrel or tramp,
idler or hobo be the sole object Of at
tention under vagrancy proceedings.
Well dressed, afiluent and free-spending
persons may be sent TO the farm along
with the ragged wanderers of the road.
Perhaps there will be no action under
1t during Mr.. Capone's present So
journ in Florida, for the new ordinance
cannot 60 into effect for thirty days,
and by that time he may have fitted
to other parts. But If so. Miami Will
be ready for him next season.
