DEADLY GUNS

NEW YORK, May e.-Whils
Federal indictments against rs
sicilians, in Chicago. reputed to
be members Of the al Capone
gangs, were being returned, spe-
cial investigations conducted by
various organizations are reported
to have disclosed a large sale OF
the deadly Thompson sub-machine
guns and increasing quantities Of
bullet proff glass to racketeering
gangs. The gun, which sells for
5000, brings a premium Of 81 900,
If unobtainable through legitimate
channels.
The Thompson gun, a 1O-pound.
33-inch weapon, which fires at the
rate Of 800 singly aimed .46-caliber
bullets q minute, in the opinion Of
balliStic experts, is the most muir.
derOus portable weapon in exist.
ence. It Is so deadly at close range
that the Chicago police have dis
carded it as being too dangerous
for work in crowded districts.
On the other hand, cars with
special steel bodies and fast speed
boats used by rum runners in the
Detroit River have been found
fully equipped with bulletproof
glass as q protective measure
against both hi-jackers and Coast
Guard raids.
Officials Of the Auto-O Ordnance
Corporation, manufacturers of the
gun, state that the bulk Of their.
business is done with legitimate
interests. Bullet-proof and non.
scattering glass Is manufactured
by various companies. who report
increasing use of the latter By pas.

A STATE SCANDAL NEEDING MORE AIRING

By all odds the worst scandal in the state just now is concerned with revelations regarding the manage ment of the Connecticut School for Boys in Meriden. Watching the de- velopment of this scandal with a critical eye we do not hesitate to say that every effort will be made by the: state organization 10 use the soft pedal as much as possible.
 Only the fact that persons have testified as to alleged conditions from the outside has there been at tending publicity. Ii the powers that be could arrange it, there would have been a minimum of publicity which means none at all.
 Citizens have been coached 10 be- lieve for years that state institutions were being conducted in an ideal manner. If anything, every instution in the state. we were led to believe, was a model for other states. Con- necticut, to hear the politicians run ming the state talk, always is a model for other states. The trouble seems to be that the other states do no, know anything about it.
 The recent discharge of James S. Peck, farm superintendent of the Meriden school, was instigated by the board of trustees who resented the criticisms to which the school has been subjected as a result Of Mir. Pcck's desire to bring about better conditions. We have no doubt that, if the board of trustees are reliable witnesses, conditions at the school were simply ideal. and that it was a model for all other insti- tutions of the kind.
 It is to be hoped that the Gov crnor and his commission will not he blinded by any desire to play up 10 . false standard Of alleged cfIi-

 POISONING SOURCE
Jamaica Ginger Ingredient PuZ-
 zIes Government Officials

Boston, March ol (UP)-Samples of poisonous Jamaica ginger such as that responsible for hundrers of cases of paralysis in various parts of the country were being studied by government chemists here today. Dr. George H. Adams, chief of the bureau of chemistry admitted the ingredient in the Jamaica ginger that causes imbibers to lost the use of their feet and legs still bafffed chemists in his department.
 Whether it is denatured alcohol or merely bad Jamaica ginger we are at a loss to say, but we hope to solve the problem within a few days. Our bureau is chiefly concerned. of course, with finding out what this poisonous substance is and then talk ing action, provided we can find the source.
 Source May Be Obscure
 "To find the source, however, is going to be difficult job. If, as all indications point, it is ring of bootleggers, advsed by skilled chenl- ists who have prepared this Jamaica ginger and shipped it throughout the country, we shall immediately turn our information over to the prohibition administrator for the New England district"

TOO MANY DETECTIVE

IL is not a coincidence that the police of a neighboring city recently charged that two automobile acci- dents in one day were due partly 10 defective brakes. Although brakes that fail to work efficiently in an emergency may not be the primary cause of an accident, there can be no doubt that they fail to prevent many a tragedy.
 One of the mysteries of the auto- mobile trade is how so many drivers will pay little heed to the efficiency of their brakes. One of the chief considerations concerned with pilot ing powerful machine over the highways and through traffic is to possess reliable" brakes; yet po- lice in virtually every city report that to find a plenitude of defective brakes it is only necessary to be- gin making tests.
 One trouble seems to be a state of mind. That mental attitude is that even in the case of accident some liability insurance company will have to pay the damages.
 We wish some investigators would try to discover what proportion of reckless driving really is due 10 this knowledge-that if something hap pens the owner of the defective or badly managed car is not hAe ely tc be anything out Of pocket.
