Tries Three Times
And Finally Is
Arrested

ROCKVILLE, Md, Dec. 26.
Harry Merson, county police
man, is back from Salisbury.
N. c., where he went for a pris-
oner, and tells a story about
Fred Peyton, of Baltimore, who
walked into the office Of the
chief of police there and "con-
feSsed" to robbing a store in
Kensington, Md.
He was told that there was no
room for him there and that
the chief had no way Of know
ing whether or not he was tell
ing the truth. The suggestions
was then made that he try the
sheriff'S office.
The sheriff had only been in
office about a week and was in
a quandary as to what procedure
he should follow, since he had
no room for his unexpected
guest" and he, too, was not
sure that the man was telling
him the truth.
Finally the sheriff said that
the only thing he could think Of
would be for him to wire Rockville
vile and see if the man WAS
wanted. Peyton then said:
Yes, do that"
And that's why Mr.. MerSon
made his trip.

HOOVER'S R j NJ.
CLAIMS HIT |

President Hoover's assertion
Shat "only q small part" of the
present flood Of felonies can be
traced to prohibition is mis-
information" the Association
Against the Prohibition Amend.
ment yesterday charged, adding
that "the congestion in Federal
courts is due solely to prohibi-
ton"
In an exhaustive treatise on
prohibitions effect on courts and
prisons, the association said:
"Eighty-eight per cent Of
those sentenced in the Federal
courts for violation of the pro-
hibitiOn laws are put in the class
Of misdemeanOrS, and not
felOnS.
Data Held Misleading
''It would be just as sensible
to try to estimate the number
Of murders i'm the United States
by looking for them i'm the rec
OrdS Of convictions for misde-
meanOrS."
The treatise pointed out that
the practice in Federal courts is
to send only those persons to State
prisons and penitentiarieS who
have committed felonieS, and un-
der the Federal penal code only
persons sentenced to more than a
year are considered felony prison
erS.
A much truer key to the situa-
ton appears in the records of
criminal courts, it was stated,
which show that more than four
times as many criminal cases were
terminated in the Federal courts
in 1929 as in 1916. Because Of
this increase, it is stated, five Fed
eral prisons now hold nearly
twice as many prisoners as they
were designed to accommodate.
Huge Cost Estimated
That this increase in criminal
cases is almost entirely due to
prohibition is shown, the report
said, by the fact that the in
crease in normal criminal cases
from 1920 to 1929 was only SO
per cent, against a 81 per cent
increase.
The reports said reliable esti.
mates place the cost of adequate
prohibition enforcement at $780,
100000 year, provided jury
trials could be entirely eliminated.
With jury trials the cost would
be $3.50, 100000

TOLD He SHOULD
TAKE ADVICE
Of LUCAS
Too Social Minded for G. o. p
or Democratic Regulars, Is
Warning Given Nebraskan

NEW YORK, Dec. 26 0.N.S0.
A movement for a new political
party with Senator George w.
Norris as the head was urged
today.
/ Terming Senator Norris "too
socially minded" to remain a
member of the Republican party.
DR.. John Dewey, professor emer-
titus Of philosophy at Columbia
University, urged the Nebraska
Senator to head the movement.
DR.. Dewey said Senator Norris
should take the advice of Robert
H. Lucas, executive director Of
the Republican National Com
mittee, and sever his connection
with the Republicans.
Writes For League
In a letter to Senator Norris,
Dr.. Dewey, as chairman Of the
national committee Of the League
for Independent Political Action,
organized in 1929, said in part:
''In light Of your recent ex-
periences with leaders Of the
Republican party I urge that
you sever forever your party
connections with that political
machine and form with those
Of us In the league for indie
pendent political action and
other liberal groups a new
party to which you can give
your full allegiance.
"'The recent attack upon you
In the statement issued by Rob
ert III. Lucas, executive direc-
tor Of the Republican National
Committee, clearly shows that
the lines are being drawn and
that you and other inSurgent
Republicans are not wanted in
the G. 0. p. by those that con-
troll the machine.
PHILOSOPHERS AntagOniZe
'Tn my judgment this is
going to be made increasingly
clear TO you. How could you
expect otherwise?
THE Republican party stands
for rugged individualism. You
stand for social planning and
social control. Republican lead
erS believe that by giving free
reign to private competition
somehow they will build . bet
ter world.
"YOu believe that In this
complicated age that method is
impossible, but that society
must plan for its production
and consumption.
"The controlling wing Of the
Republican party places prop
erty rights first. You place
human rights first.
These are q n gOniStic
philosophers. The Republican
party Is q house divided against
itself.
Democratic Policy Similar
"The ID em o Ocratic party
stands for exactly the same
principles as the Republican
party and its machinery is con-
trOlIed by the same invested
groups. If the Democratic party
comes into power its insurgents
will receive the same treat
ment from it that you receive
from your party. The new
political philosophy needs its
own incarnation.

Sharkey has more ability than any man

any one except himself? Even now he
should get one last chance. There is no
