Facts in Dry Killing.
Cincinnati Enuuirer.) )


 Governor Sampson, of Kentucky, few days ago in the case of Roy " Miller, former Prohibition agent, who was convicted of unnecessary killing of a suspected Prohibition law offender and stated in his reasons for granting the second stay that there was no opposition to the pardon requested by many persons for the former officer, but by one person, the Prosecuting Attorney of the judicial dis trict in which the killing took place.
 Miller holds the doubtful distinction of being the first to be convicted of long list of Pro- hibition officers who killed persons they were seek ing arrest. He first prosecuted in the State Courts but in line with the usual practice in such cases had his case transferred the Federal Court for the Western District of Kentucky where jury found him guilty. His punishment was fixed at two years in Federal Penitentary and he appealed to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at Cincinnati which affirmed the sentence of the Dis trict Court.
 Governor Sampson. in stating why he grants the second stay, says he is informed" that the officer was simply defending himself and his po-e from the "murderous fire" of the suspected Pro- hibiton law offender and that there is no evidence that Miller fired the fatal shot.
 The Prosecutor, dry official himself seeks to set the Governor right by referring him to the evil did not fire shot; that he was shot several times in the back and that Miller himself testified on the witness stand that he (Miller) took part in the shooting.
 Governor Sampson has had a splendid record since he assumed office in December, 927 so far as pardons are concerned The facts given the Execu- tive show the unrelability of statements on pardon petitions, confirming the old axiom that almost any one can be induced to sign pardon petition. The Prosecutor courageousy tells the Governor the facts in the case, so that he may not issue a pardon without knowing both sides of the matter.

New York Is Worlds Most POpulOus Center.
(NeW York World )

The old question whether New York or London is the bigger city in the matter of population comes as near solution as it will have through the arbitrary creation of a "Circled New York" by Dr. Walter Laidlaw of the Cities Census Committee A comparison of political is forever impossible because Greater New York is divided by the Hudson River between the two States The metropolitan district of New York as used by the Census Office is very much larger than the Greater London of the metropolitan police district.
 So Dr. Ladlaw draws his circled city, using the City Hall his center and 20-mile radius string. Within his circle, which arbitrarily cuts across political boundaries live 9857881 inhabitants on land area of 552 259 In Greater London T. 864 130 persons live area of 443424 acres ac- cording to Dr. Laidlaw 443,449 according to The World Almanac. Shortening Dr. Laidlaws radius string to a length that would produce the exact Hand area of outer-ring London would not greatly affect these figures adding 1000 to Greater London would affect them even less. As final comparison pr. Laidlaw proposes to count noses lin and about London Within 20-nile circuit from Charing Cross.
 Such a circle would include a greater land area than Circled New Works and would add somewhat to the figured population of Greater London, bu, not nearly enough to wipe out the margin of ap- proximately 2O0O0O between the two cities. New York is now by any fair recokening, considerably the bgger-though that alone is possibly not sub feet for boasting

It Happened in Alabama.
Chicago Defender.)

Three months ago all Alabama was stirred by what it termed as atrocious crime against white womanhood Newspapers screamed in headlines of a Negro" attack on white woman At once mob got busy A young laborer arrested, hur- ried to Mobile for safekeeping, and it was by the hardest work that troops sent to the scene by Gov Bibb Graves prevented lynching. The man was tried by a jury of his peers and in less than eighteen minutes had been sentenced to die in the electric chair Last week another white jury, sit ting in the case after two white lawyers had se- cured a new trial for the boy, returned verdict that he was not guilty and he was set free
 Such a thing as this should give advocates o1 llynching something to think about Had the mot been allowed to get in its work there would have been another innocent man added to the list o lynch victims.

.OI[ CAN NEEDED
|. FOR ALL CARS

Despite all the improvements
In motor car fabrication. includ.
ing that most significant one by
which the chassis is centrally lu-
bricated. the homely oil can still
has its important role to play in
the process. This point Il made
by Oscar Coolican, who declares
that full understanding Of the
cars fabrication needs IS one Of
the most essential features Of in.
telligent car ownership. Says
he: -
''UnQuestiOnably, one of the
most impressive aspects Of
modern motor car engineering
Is that which has brought au-
tomato fabrication to 50 many
chassis bushings and bearings.
It must not be forgotten, how.
ecer, that fully automatic lubrt-
cation is not q possibility in
connection with current car de-
sign.
Especially is 1t well for the
car owner to realize that the
oil can still plays It's part In
the hOrOugh fabrication
process. No doubt IL always
will, for the parts which call
for light lubricant are body
and engine features which. for
the most part, cannot be
reached in any other way.
Certain types Of horns, for
instance, call for light oil from
time to time. Door strikes
and locks also need lubricant
Of this character. Rapidly
moving parts Of the electrical
system also need fluid lubri-
cant, and, Of course, wind
shield anchor points In open
cars have been known to be
come noisy for want Of . light
oil film to separate them.
"OiI Is the remedy for many
squeaks and whistles that are
to be found In some cars.
"The car owner Ii wise who
is convinced that when the oil
can no longer plays . part In
the cars fabrication process 1t
will not be a part Of the equip
ment that comes with the ma
chine. AS long rs the manu-.
facturer includes an oil can IN
the cars equipment, there Is IN
opportunity to use It,"

ID practically the accepted ruie
today.
This Development has 70.
cused greater attention on the
problem Of lubricatiOn to cor.
serve the power and pr0l0ng
the life Of the average car.
To insure the correct types
Of oil for motors In varying
stages Of use, experts have
worked out three simple rules:
First, that after the aver
age car has been driven z,OeD
miles, .. heavier oil should Be
used; second, that after 12,0O0
miles . stiIl heavier oil should
be used. and third, after $4,000
miles new piston rings should
be installed, permitting the mo
tOrist to use the same grade
Of oil recommended for the
first 1000 miles Of travel.
Evidence Of the allyear-

found In the fact that 81 per

Neglected. relegated to oblivion
underneath the rear seat, or sim
ply lost In the first few days Of
f1ew-car ownership. the autor1o-
bile instruction book is declared
by service authorities to be
among the most necessary ad-
juY1cts to successful motoring.
No matter what the individual
motorists attitude toward the
"owner's manual. may be,
maintenance and sales depart
ments are. convinced of the i'm
portance Of that book and OF the
great potential value 1t has Tor
reference manual is more specific
Successful efforts have been
made to popularize instruction
books by making them more
readable as well as more under
standable. Criticism leveled at
the owners manual in the past
has been helpful, judging from
the newer books as they are
going into the public's hands.
Books Big Help
Manufacturers also now realize
that the service men themselves
need instructions, too, and so the
better books are directed to the
man In overalls as well as 20
the man at the wheel.
This does not necessitate a
more technical book. While me-
chanic by trade, the workman Is
not necessarily a techniclan. he
demands simple terms and plain
English. Since the car owners de-
mands are identical, the modern
reference manual is more spectre
than ever, yet more easily COM
pretended.
There Is recognition Of the Ia It
that with so many model changes
and so many popular cars on the
market 1t is not possible for even
an automobile service expert to
be entirely familiar with every
problem that is put to him. The
instruction book is his guide and
the car owner who does not keep
one handy is slipping into an
expensive rut.
For Old Owners
For some strange reason, many
new owners seem to feel that 1t
is a mark of inexperience to con-
suit an instruction book or even
to talk about 1t. This Is an un-
fortunate attitude and explains,
in part, why the instruction book
has had such a struggle for ex-
istence. Such people would do
well to note the value placed on
reference books by experienced
drivers.
Recently an owner driving his
tenth Car was asked for some de
tails about his latest acquisition.
His reply was that he could an
! swer more intelligently after he
had read through his new in
struction book.
Easy to Learn
The public, in becoming more
familiar with automobile terms
and mechanical processes, is bet
ter equipped today to digest in
struction books than 1t was five
The Washington times., 1930-08-20

years ago. No one can own a
car without picking up some me-
chanical knowledge, however much
he may emphasize his non-tech-
nical inclinations. The result is
that an instruction book which
would have been Greek to the
average person five or ten years
ago is rather easily understood
today.
With a little closer application
to the job, it is believed that
motorists could get much more
out of their service manuals than
they do. Too frequently only
portions of paragraphs are read,
so that the man who is going to
tune the car fails to note the
precautions or special points to
watch.
The instruction book Is here
to stay, and the thoughtful
owner will get from 1t all it has
to offer.
