|BLEASE DROPS WAR
ON CAPITAL CRIME
Senator Says He win Make
No More Efforts to Improve
Conditions Here.

After launching one more broadside
in support Of his claim that crime is
widespread in Washington, Senator
Cole Blease, Democrat of South Caro-
lima, informed the Senate late yester-
day afternoon that he will make no
further efforts either on the floor Of
the Senate or elsewhere to improve
conditions here.
Senator Blease called attention to q
book, which he described as the
dirtiest thing have ever read" and
which he said was circulated in WASH
ington where It might be read by chill
dren. He said he had sent the book
to District Attorney Rover's ONCE.
When the South Carolina Senator
read into the Congressional Record sew
eral excerpts from the book there was o
stir in the galleries. Looking up at the
spectators, Senator BleaSe said:
Scores Those Who Laughed.
"That Is nothing to laugh at, you
gallery people. You had better 60 home
and take your children and have family
prayer and destroy that book trStead
Of sitting In the gallery laughing at it"
Senator Smoot, Republican Of Utah,
arose and started to address the pre-
Gated he would not 60 further with
the book.
Senator Blease placed In the record
another collection Of newspaper clip
pings dealing with raids made by the
police and giving statistics as to ar
rests here. The Senator said he was
going to wash his hands of the whole
affair, but wanted to let the public
and the readers Of the Record judge
in the city Of Washington then and
now"
Continuing, he declared that people
generally have the kind of Government
that they want. So far as I am con-
cerned, In the future Washington can
have just that; and If she can get any
worse than she is now in crime God
have mercy on those who believe In law
and orderl"
Explains Refusal 10 Testify.
Senator Blease referred to the fact
that he recently declined to 20 before
the grand jury, explaining that he de-
clined because he knew nothing per-
sonally and "only received such tnfor-
nation as had from officers and
others who were familiar with condi-
tons in this city; consequently, had
gone there, any evidence which might
have offered would have been incompe-
tent"
The Senator said the data he turned
over to the Senate District committee
sometime ago represented all the infor-
nation he had to give to the public.
He said he presumed this information
would be used by the committee In its
investigation.
In conclusion, Senator Blease said he
had received no encouragement in his
efforts. but that certain so-called citi-
zens' associations held meetings and
criticized what was being said in refer
ence to law enforcement in the Dis
trict Of Columbia" He insisted that he
had no desire to injure the city of
Washington or the United States Gov
eminent ANY more so than the surgeon
has any desire to injure his patient. "
He said he had hoped to help the Capt.
tai City and the Nation by cutting out
the vile and rotten parts and making
them stronger. healthier, and cleaner"

DYAK LEADER TEACHING BOYS TO SHOOT

HIS picture shows how Killing done with blow pipe

One of the greatest achievements of human race
learning HOW TO KILL AT DISTANCE.
Man always feeble compared with other animals
he hadn't the strength of the elephant rhnoceros

lion, tiger, wolf or bear.
His teeth were small his mouth small his nails useless
tearing Therefore he HAD TO USE HIS BRAIN
The moment he close enough of the savage big
animals to touch it he lost His problem How
kill that animal WITHOUT coming near it?"
He undoubtedly dropped heavy stones from tree trunks or
high rocks animals passing below.
Later he made rough spears, long pieces of wood with
sharp stone fastened at the end and threw them
or the other primitive to be destroyed.
Then the GREAT invention the bow and arrow at
least important to ancestors the engine and
flying machine to us
The invention shown in this picture used by the Dyaks
natives of Borneo is the blowppe with which savages

It is said that they hit object as small as an annie
$50 feet away.
This leader of Dyak tribe showing younger males of
the tribe how a blow-pipe should be used.
The ammunition consists Of darts dipped in poison
OF coagated monkey blood and the the Ipah
tree.
The bowpipe is long way from the modern "king at
distance weapon, such modern rifles machine guns
throwing bullets thousands hour moving down men like
grass, cut by a scythe.
But when it was when it the best weapon exist
ing on the EARTH the bowppe and its little dart made deadly
oy the coaguated germed blood of the monkey and the
sap OF the poisonous tree important weapon as our
submarines or bomb-dropping airpanes
In the early days the savage that possessed blow
knew how to use it, and how make poison was in war
as far above other the nation today that knows how
TO manufacture apane and knows enough the big
gest fleet OF them, is superior to other nations.
EVERYTHING IS COMPARATIVE from blow pipe to

If Army Officer Is to Control
Police, Law Should Say So
HERE are two distinct views as to whether it NAV
But Such Militarizaton of District Government Would
Be Unwise and Unpopular.

HERE are two distinct views to whether it may be
wise to make prominent Army officer Commissioner
of the District of Columbia that he may placed in charge
OF the Police and Fire Departments Traffic Bureau
The wisdom and the justice of doing that aside from
the question of the legality the issue that will be before
Congress the President sends the Senate nomination
OF Gen. herbert b. Crosby as Commissioner.
If the people of this city themselves as they
seem determined there WiW be graUe doubt if the
Senate Wu approve nomination that UioIates the
clear spirit, the letter. the Ia.O providing that
tW0 of Commissioners shall be from CIVIL
LIFE
the President fully convinced that high Army
in charge of the Police Department will improve conditions
in this city there is perfectly CORRECT WAY for him to
make such appointment WITHIN THE LAW.
Iha Will be to request Congress to create additional
Commsoneship that is not limited civilians and pur
pose of which will be supervision of the Police and Fire De-
partments and Traffic Bureau Should Congress follow the
residents request then Army officer anybody else
could be named without foung existing law though
would flout the desires and wishes Of Washington people
This would be preferable to that overlooks the
law and most certainly disregards public opinion.
The idea of those endorse the Presidents views
an Army officer would ins discipline and efficiency in the
Police Department and guarantee the Capital of the Nation
against organized crime The latter, of course is very
large promise
General Crosby might be to do this possesses
usual abilities. The fight of Washington against him
as 1t fight protect what few rights they have
to protect the vital principle of home rule and what little
there is left OF self determination.
Against the idea that Army officer may accomplish
unusual things here be placed the experience of the past
Army officers less successful in fields outside that Of
military life than who have had broad general training
and experience Discipline is the handspring of their ac
ites but far than discipline is necessary to make
police department what it should be-
General Crosby for example, has had absolutely expert
law enforcement in crime detection experience
with the we and methods of criminals It foreign to
whole life and works. That is true to most all Army
officers.
The best police heads those who have come up from
within the ranks and who understand criminal methods and
and who abreast of modern developments scien
tific solutions of crimes.
Right here in Washington large numbers of brany
civilians who just we'll equipped supervise the Police
Department any Army officer Dscipnarians among
them They profoundly derous of law and order here
