WICKERST1AM SUGGESTS FLOGGING
AS PUNISHMENT FOR GANGSTERS
Prison Conference Hears
Paper by Chairman of
I Hoover Commission.
Says Legislative Fiat Is Not
Sufficient to Check Law
leSSneSS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, KY, October 13.-The
American Prison Association conference
here today had before it suggestion
from George w. Wickersham, chairman
of President Hoover's, Law Enforcement
Commission that "a careful inquiry into
the results of fiogging as punishment
may well be made to determine the de-
STABILITY of employing it in the wal
against banditry and racketeers."
"Flogging by birch or by the cat "
was discussed by Mr.. Wickersham in an
which was read to the conference in
his absence, by E. r. Cass, New York,
general chairman of the association.
Mr.. Wickersham saw a state of actual
warfare in the United States between
organized society and rebels against its
authority" Modern crime, he said, was
conducted by fearless men," whose
spectacular methods were superior to
the defense of the police forces.
I'VE pride ourselves upon the sue
ceSseS of democracy" Mr.. Wickersham
said, yet crime Is rampant and every
daily newspaper spreads before us tales
of increasing lawlessness."
Very slowly we are coming to re-
alize," he added, that something more
than legislative fiat is necessary to
make good citizens that all the threat
ened punishments legislative magma
ton can devise will not compel re-
bellious human natures to abide by
rules of conduct that run counter to
their wishes their tastes, their needs,

This evangelical and missionary body
had its origin about 1909, when a group

Similar movements started elsewhere in

About 1880 they were forced into a

Today they number close to 2.0O0,-

not number members Of this faith.

or their prejudices, something more is
necessary"
Quoting an old Greek saying that
lit is more important to form good
habits than to frame good laws" Mr.
Wickersham said prevention through
education of the young and enlightened
treatment of the young is the best
remedy against crime.
Everywhere throughout the land
there are deep STRINGS of dissatisfac-
ton with existing conditions" he said
with the laws and their administra-
ton, and with prescribed methods OF
dealing with those found to have
violated them"
There is no doubt that the great
volume and constantly widening cate
gories of legislative prohibitions, with
attendant penalties for their disregard
tends to create a contempt for law,
Wickersham said. yet much of this
legislation is probably unacceptable
He suggested that it were. we'll that
public sentiment should be aroused to
prevent unnecessary law making"

hospital life. but was anxious to make
amends in the hope of readmission for
permanent residence, though no longer
diseased.
Cured, but Stayed On.
The medical officer told of other cured
lepers who insisted on returning to the
colony physicians for treatment of their
ailments, instead of consulting local
physicians in their home towns, and he
described one case in which a man,
completely cured and in the pink of
condition." refused point blank to leave
when discharged
"He was put in an ambulance by a
guard and taken home" the report re-
lated.
Recently a paroled patient came
from California quite emaciated, fearing
to consult a local physician and pre-
ferring to spend his own money to get
to doctors who knew his condition,
the physician continued. He had
merely temporarily ruined his digestion.
Drove From Florida.
Another drove from Florida in his
own car to be treated for a gangrenouS
finger, alleging the same lack of conf
dence in the home doctors. A few days
ago a paroled patient rode the brake
rods from New York to Baton Rouge,
and then walked to Carville co miles)
for readmission-and he surely needed
it, for he could hardly drag his feet and
was about 40 pounds underweight. AS
soon as we get these chaps in good con-
dition we release them again on parole"
The medical officer said the problem
of what to do with the paroled leper
is under serious consideration by many
institutions. Some permit readmission
for observation. others insist that they
shift for themselves.
