GIuttonS Should Take
Vow to Cut Down Eat
ing, Warns DR.. King.

Z EXCESSIVE drinkers who
IL swore off New Years day
and still are standing by their
resolution should be joined by the
food drunkards, DR.. William F..
King, director Of the state health
department, advised today.
For there are plenty of folks
carrying dining to excess as we'll
as drinking.
"They are sugar drunk and
starch drunk, but will feel ex-
tremely temperate comparing
themselves with the person who
uses alcohol to the point of
drunkenness" DR.. King declared.
Starch and sugar are habit
formers, just the same as alcohol,
only it takes a little longer. Aci-
dOSis and toxic conditions may
start from over-eating of meats.
Starches, sugar, cereals or any
acid-producing food.
Sound advice is to not be in
temperate either with food or
StimulantS."

Little, Mighty
FraiI Millionaire FIops
90-Pound Burglar, Who
Has Lead Pipe.

BIZ United Press
ATEW YORK, Jan. 10.-A frail,
Il ' little, unarmed millionaire
drove from his twenty-four-room
home today a burglar who
weighed about 100 pounds and
fought with a piece of lead pipe.
DR.. Nicholas Partos, Cornell
Drug Company head, rose early
today to open an alcove window
near his bedroom, when out of
the darkness sprang a heavily
built man, lashing out with a
lead pipe.
Mrs. Partos, who was awakened,
looked on helplessly and was
amazed to see her husband toss
the husky intruder to the floor
and sit on his chest.
The burglar flung Partos from
his chest and fed, when an at
tempt to unmask him was made.
Partos struck a parting blow as
the intruder ran out the front

State PROBES
MURDER RING
Terror Reigns in Three
Missouri Counties.
BY NOLEN BULLOCK
United Press Staff Correspondent


MEXICO, Mo-, Jan. 10.-Vigilantcs
of three central Missouri counties
were enlisted today to combat an
unusual form of countryside crime
believed behind the mysterious
murders of four men and one
woman.
Investigators called it rural rack
eteering."
For months the rich and historic
counties of Autrian, Howard. and
Boone have been gripped with fear
of pillaging and murder.
The state promised to begin today
a concerted drive to stamp out the
crime conditions, after county Off
Gals, baked by reticence of wit
nesses, could get no farther than
hushed gossip of front parlors and
talk in town pool palaces.
Attorney General Stratton Shar-
tel informed the United Press he
would confer with Governor Henry
S. Caulfield for immediate action.
MY investigators have told me
stories of five unsolved murders,
of the fear of the people and of
the work of these rural racketeers.
Missouri must stop it at once" he
said.
Stories related to the United Press
correspondent who surveyed the
situation, and confirmed by reports
to the encouragement, reported
that many farm folk feared to ven-
ture from their homes under pres
ent conditions.
Alarmed parents are keeping their
children from rural schools. Women
are fearful when at home alone
Lodge meetings and church socials
have dwindIed in attendance be-
cause farm folk avoid the lonely
lanes at night.

COPS perjury
IS TARGET Of
CITY JUDGES
Garvin, White to Continue
War on BondSmen and
Attendant Evils.
CHARGES ARE ALTERED
Political Pressure, Money
Alleged Used to Get
False Testimony.
BY DICK MILLER.

Measures to abolish paid perjury
of policemen and others against de-
PENDANTS in criminal municipal
courts were planned today by Judges
Thomas Garvin and Dan V. White,
continuing their war against COM
bines of shySter lawyers and pro-
feSsional bondsmen operating in the
criminal division of city courts.
Transferring from the civil to the
criminal municipal court benches
this week on suggestion of Cover
nor Harry G. Leslie, the magis-
trateS Immediately took steps to
drive out racketeering from city
prison and courts.
Personal investigation since they
assembled the criminal benches Mon
day has revealed that perjury of
police and others, purchased by the
racketeerS, has been much in vogue.
Charges against prisoners often
have been altered to suit dealings
between lawyers and bondsmen and
police, both judges declared.
Cornered in Corridors
Lawyer bondsman combines went
even so far rs to corral police
states WitneSseS-in corridors out
side the court, and through force or
bribery induce them to testify as
the racketeers indicated, according
to Judges Garvin and White.
Threats of political pressure to
reduce officers, or to assign patrol
men to unWholesome districts, were
used many times by lawyers and
bondsmen.
THAT was one of the old ways
Of bringing about crooked testimony
by police in court" the judge de-
clared. 1.-THE more modern method
is money"
Paid Blanket Sum
Not infrequently, according to
revelations made to the judges,
prisoners were told that for a
blanket sum they would be released
on bond, defended in court, and
even, in some instances, were as
sured ultimate freedom. From the
sum paid the bondsman, the lawyer
took his fee, and the policeman his
bribe for testimony favorable to the
purpose Of the lawyer.
eff these things are true, they cast
reflection on the court" Judge White
said. Immediate action will be ia
ken to stop paid perjury"
"We are striking first at the police
department" they said. '"To do so,
we must cast suspicion on the entire
force to stamp out the wrongdoings
Of a few"
The first step toward smashing of
the perjury ring was obtaining CO.
operation of Police Chief Jerry Kin
ney, vino ordered that police report
circumstances of arrest and prefer
a charge against prisoner imme-
diately after he is lodged in jail.

ABOARD S. S. GEORGE WASH
INGTON, AT SEA, Jan. 1O.-The
first objective of the American
delegation to the five-power naval
conference at London will be the
extension of the present battleship
construction holiday"
This appeared to be the con-
sensus among well-informed per-
sons aboard ship today. No formal
agreement with Great Britain on
this vital subject to be considered
at the conference has been reached,
the United Press was told in con-
versatiOnS with persons in the
American group going to London.
However, it is certain sentiment
among the delegates favor a con-
tinuation of the naval holiday" on
battleship construction because it is
one of the projects which they feel
has the best chance of getting quick
results.
Would Aid Morale
A decision unanimously support
ing such a plan would aid the NOR
ale of the conference, it was
pointed out. This question has been
left open in the agenda submitted
by the British recently. Their initial
program provided only for the open
ing address by King George and the
appointment of committees.
Premier ]. Ramsay Macdonald
may take up the question of
battleship construction holiday as
an opening stroke. advocating
continuance of the recess in build
ing this class of warships after the
washington conference agreement
expires in 1881. The Americans
doubtless would support strongly
such a move.
100 Aids Aboard
A salute of nineteen guns was
given as the liner passed Ft. Jay
Stimson and the other delegates
stood on the bridge during the salvo.
The American delegation, aside from
the five official delegates, included
nearly 100 men and women experts,
secretaries. aids and others needed
to handle the routine of the Amer
lean division.
The delegates aboard are Stimson
and Adams, Dwight w. Morrow,
ambassador to Mexico; Joseph T.
Robinson, Democratic senator from
Arkansas, and David A. Reed, Re
publican senator from Pennsylvania.
In England, they will be joined
by the other two American dele
gates, Charles G.. Dawes, ambasSa-
dor to London, and Hugh S. Glib
son, ambassador to Belgium.

(By Herald Reviewer)


 Out of an unusual triangle prob lem, MT. Milne has evoived a poig- nant and moving drama in his Mi chael and Mary" tale simply but effectively told by Madge Kennedy and Terrence Neill at Parsons thc- ater, Hartford. It is a tranquil play without the blemish of false heroics, mysteries or sordidness.
 The time is 1905 to 1880. Mary is adrift on the sea of life, having been abandoned by her husband, who, like the wedding ring he plac- cd on her finger, is gilt not gold. She meets Michael. an ambitious writer who has yet to make his mark, at the British museum in London. He becomes interested in her and with the impulsivc ass of a good heart, offers to share his small means with her on an honorable basis of friend- ship. As the years pass and his suc- cess as an author increases. they realize that they are profoundly in love with each other. They face the situation boldly and bravely an'l decide to marry even though they realize that Mary faces the possibil. ity of being sent to prison for big amy if they are exposed. The de- noucment comes when Mary's hus- band. a conscienceless rascal, ap pears and attempts to blackmall them in their home. In the ensuing argument the husband dies of heart disease induced by the excitement of the moment. How to explain the situation to the police without re- vealing the bigamous marriage is q problem which is ingeniously solv- cd. Both arc willing to face dis grace and prison but third person, their son, who is away at school. must be saved the pain of learning the truth. The end of the story finds them supremely happy with only one cloud on the horizon.
 MT. Neill gives a quiet but strik- ing picture of Michael. whose love for Mary surmounts all difficulties and survives hardships. Miss Ken nedy is lovely and human in the role of Mary, adding delightful and subtle touches of the eternal fem mine which make her character life like. The principals received four curtain calls at the conclusion of the performance.
 Gertrude Rivers Alison, George Alison and Maurice Greet have char acter parts which they All ably. John Spacey plays the role of Mary's hus- band and does it well. May Ediss, who was with Walter Hartwig's Manhattan Reportory Theater com- pany in Bristol last summer, is in the cast.
 Michael and Mary" is at Parsons for the remainder of the week with a matinee Saturday.
