Would Strengthen Law

Washington, Jan. IS R}-Reserv- ing Judgment on it's ultimate prohi- bition conclusions, the law enforce iHeht com mlssion-in 9 preliminary report sent to congress today-rec- commended that the national prohi- bition law be imm ediately strength cned in the interest of promoting ob- servance of and repsect for all law.
 If on no other grounds than to give the law fair trial" the com mission said, there are obvious and uncontroverted difficulties. pointed out by experience, which may, and, as We think, should be met so as to make enforcement more effective"
 These difficulties were declared by the Hoover commission to be: Division of enforcement between the treasury and justice depart ments.
 Disordered condition of federal legislation involved in enforcement Possibilities of defeating paddock Injunctions by means of concealing ownership Of property used for manufacture and sale of illicit liquor Congestion of petty prosecutions , in the federal courts. leading D wholesale disposition of accumulated cases under circumstances impairing the dignity of and injuring respect for those tribunals
 Without prejudice 10 any ul'i- mate conclusions" the report saiI, I've think that in tho interest Of promoting observance of and respect for law, the national prohibition lay may well be strengthened and .ss effectiveness increased in these im- portant particulars"
 As 10 observance. the commission declared that it is wholly impof- siblc to set off observance of the prohibition act from the large ques- ton Of the views and habits of the American people with respect to private judgment as to statutes a1l regulations affecting their conduct" :"
 Must Not Forget Past
 we must not forget the many historical examples of large scale public disregard Of laws in our past the report said. adding that i've must bear in mind the Puritan's ob- jection to administration. the Wing tradition of right of revolution. the conception Of natural rights. classical in our policy, the demo- cratic tradition of individual parti- cipation in sovereignty"
 Asserting that as to enforcement there were no reliable figures to show the size of the problem, the ! commission said the reported arrests in The last fiscal year of upwards of So,o00 persons from every part of continental United States indicates | staggering number of what might be called focal points of infection. '
 Attention was directed that there also were 1S,700 miles of boundary and shore lines for the United States ''at every point of which infection is possible"
 The number of smuggling roads l from Canada is reported as at least l 900, it was added.

Text of Hoover Message

Washington. Jan. 1% P'-Presi . dent Hoover in transmitting the first preliminary report of the law enforcement commission to congress today. submitted this message;
 To the congress of the United States:
 In my previous messages l have requested the attention Of the con- gross to the urgent situation which has grown up in the matter of en- torcement of federal criminal laws.
 After exhaustive examination of the subject, the commission on law observance and enforcement, and the officials of the department of justice and the treasury department unite in the conclusion that increas- ing enactment Of federal criminal laws over the past 20 years, as to laws comprises rather more than one-half of the total arrests. has finally eliminated in d burden upon the federal courts of a character for which they are ill designed, and in many cases entirely beyond their capacity. The result is to delay civil causes, and of even more im- portanCe. the defeat Of both justice and law enforcement. moreover. ex- pCricncc shows division Of authority. responsibility and lack of funda- mental organization in federal en- forCcmcnt agencies and ofttimcs re- suits in ineffective action.

 Dressed in Best suit
 More than two weeks ago Charlie Boston began his journey toward death. and a week ago Saturday h." struggled upright in his bed and ordered servants 10 dress hm in his best black suit. They laced his shoes, adjusted his collar, Smoo'ncd his black coat and Charlie lay back and died.
 Funeral preparations began i'm mediately; the tongnen were sum- lnoncd. banners were riGsed up and Charlie Boston's body was taken to the "I Wish You a Long li.o Chi neso Funeral Parlors," tho only placc in the United States where a Chinese can be buried by his ooun- trymcn,

So the On IconC tOngmen carried Charlie 3ostons body thrice around Chinatown to elude the devils, they scattered bits Of paper behind the coffin for everyone knows that evil spirits will interrupt their pursuit of the dead to gather bright scraps of paper.

CAPITALIST GONE; SEARCH STARTED
Charles Y. Bob MisSing-Fear
 Ransom Attempt

Chicago, Oct. 13 (UP)-Fears for the safety of Charles V. Bob, New York capitalist for whom Richard E. Byrd named range of moun- day as the mystery of his disap- pearance deepened with each pass ing hour.
 Friends of Bob here and in New York feared the capitalist, who was carrying considerable money when last seen, might have been kidnap- ed by bandits or that racketeers. knowing of his wealth, were holding him for ransom.
 The fnancier came here from New York last Wednesday in his Bellanca monoplane, landed at mu- nicipal airport and instructed me- chanics to have the plane ready for a return flight on Thursday. That evening. according to New YorE; dispatches. he telephoned his fam fly he would return at once and he and his pilot. Col Dan Lamb, left the Blackstone hotel a short time later. Neither has been seen since
 The search for Bob and his pilot was intensified and guards wece placed about his Chicago office after word was received from New York that Watson Washburn, assistant attorney general of that state, wish ed to question the tinanCier concern ing two companies, the Rainbow Luminous Products and Metal and Mining, Inc, in which Bob held large interests.
 It was said that Bob was the only person who could furnish Washburr with the information he wante,; about Luminous Products, trading in which was ordered halted on the curb a week ago after Piperno and company, brokers, were suspended.
 A possible clue in solution of tho mystery was furnished by Mai. R W. Schroeder. who has charge oi municipal airport, where Bob's monoplane is held in readiness.
 Schroeder said that two men, on. of them an aviator, tried to char, ter a plane by telephone Saturday and, failing to get a ship which they could pilot themselves, agreed tc take plane and pilot. The plane however, was not called for.
 Bob was one of the men who financed Byrd's expedition to the south pole. He has long been ar aviation enthusiast and has beer prominent in the news for severa years because of this as we'll as be, cause of his financial activities.
