PUBLIC KEEN FOR REPORT.
Time and Nature Of Enforcement Com
mission Findings Interest
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

Members Of the Commission on Law
Enforcement, meeting in washington
today, realize that cumulative develop
ments in prohibition as a political issue
give rise to more intense interest by
the public in their work.
The many problems they face may
be grouped as two. One Is OF time.
They must make report to Congress.
One possible date can be disposed OF
instantly. It Is inconceivable the COM
mission should make a report before the
election. November 4. That Is incon-
ceivable because the commission could
not possibly arrive at a report so early,
It Is further inconceivable because
hardly any one on either side of the
prohibition controversy would care to
see a report on that question thrown
into the turmoil Of the closing days Of a
campaign.
Passing over that date, the next i'm
portant one Is December, when Con-
gress meets again. If the commission
should make q report by December
conceivably it could be acted upon by
that session of Congress. From some
points Of view that would be ideal. The
session of Congress opening December
will be practically two years ahead
Of the next ensuing election. That con-
Stitutes a condition in which Congress
could act most wisely and with least
partisanship on a report on prohibition.
However, the idea Of getting report
In time for the coming session Of Con-
gress may as well be dismissed. The
work Of the commission Is hardly 30
far advanced&4 to permit final report

LOUIS BUSH DIES
OF BANDIT WOUNDS
Financier SuCcumbS to Bullet
Received in Battle With
HoId-up Man.

Louis Bush, 60-year-old bank direc-
tor and philanthropist, who was way
laid and shot in a struggle Monday
night by a robber as he stepped from
his automobile in garage behind his
home, 1884 Fulton street, died at
Emergency Hospital this morning.
Hit in the abdomen and left arm.
Bush sank rapidly and early last night
relapsed into coma following Sec
ond blood TRANSMISSION, remaining I'M
conscious until his death shortly be-
fore Z o'clock. His only son, William
L. Bush, was hastily summoned to his
bedside, but arrived shortly after Bush
expired.
The body was removed to the funeral
parlor of Frank Geier Sons Co., at
Ills Seventh street. where an autopsy
will be performed later today and a
coroner's jury sworn in for an inquest
to be called when authorities have
something tangibleto present.
Meager Evidence Found.
Members of the homicide squad and
identification experts sought some clue
to the slayer's identity from general
description supplied by Bush himself
and from meager bits of evidence
stray bullet pried from a wall nearby
four exploded shells from a 80 auto
matte, a button off mans coat, finger
prints and an unidentified key ring.
No one in the neighborhood seems
to have seen Bush's aSsailant, described
by Bush as a neatly dressed white man
of about 80, medium in heighth and
build. Bush saw the robber dart down
the alley after shooting four times.
Bush had engaged the stranger in q
desperate hand to hand struggle fol-
possession Of the automatic, which was
fiourished in the f1nancier's face when
he parked his car in the garage and
alighted. The man presumably had
concealed himself In the garage, going
there either to wait for Bush or to steal
the roadster Of the younger Bush
parked there.
Handprint Is Photographed.
Police photographed a bloody hand
print on the nickled radiator of the
later car. They expected to compare ii
with impressions taken from the dead
man to determine which Of the two
made 1t.
Authorities today hoped to recover the
bullet which pierced Bush's body. While
X-ray photographs failed to disclose its
presence, police believe the missile may
have lodged against rib.

CRIME BODY STAND
|. ON DRY LAW URGED
Wickersham Angered by Re-
ports on LaWIesS Acts of
U. S. Officials.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Around table stacked high with
new reports Of Investigators, the Hoo
yer Law Enforcement Commission re-
assembled today FOR conferences which
may possibly result in an expression on
prohibition.
The reports dealt with prohibition at
length. and after reading them, one
member Of the commission, Kenneth
Macintosh of Washington, gave notice
he wanted this issue thoroughly thrash
ed out.
Carefully going over the results of
the Summers investigations, Chairman
George w. Wickersham held to his
practice Of secret commission sessions
and to his policy Of silence on matters
Of discussion until the commission has
acted.
Political Influence Draws Ire.
But one Of the reports before Mr..
Wickersham has drawn his ire. This
Is the report on "Lawless Acts of Gov
eminent Officials" and after reading 1t,
the commission chairman asserted: "A
DdSAC ululCulLy Will uluCk1 VI Tic az
ministration Of justice lies in the use
Of political influence, not only in the
selection Of prosecutors, court oAs"ialS
and judges, but in the perform" } Of
their duties"
That was Just one Of several prob
lens Mr.. Wickersham took up with the
commission as it sought to map pro-
gram for completing its task, begun
more than a year ago.
There we're evidences that as a re-
suit of demands made In Congress last
session that the commission conf1ne
its work to a study of prohibition, this
issue was going to be a topic OF major
importance within the commission.
Would State Position Directly.
It is the view of Mr.. Macintosh,
who has been classified in his State as
dry, that the commission should
state its position directly on the pro-
hibition controversy which Is bobbing
up so persistently in the political cam
paigns this year.
Mr.. Understands latest expression
along that line was that a balanced m
quiry into law enforcement would con-
slider prohibition as one only OF a num-
Der of elements to be studied"
Some of the subjects touched upon
in the other reports before the COM
mission today are: Juvenile delinquency,
operation of Federal courts, causes ana
treatment of crime, lawless acts OF Gov
eminent officials, cost Of crime, GRIM
inal justice and the foreign-born and
police.
