was under the rule of additional
guards, police and detectives today
added to the increased force, al
ready on guard there to prevent
threatened bombings.
Strangers in the district we're
quizzed. Anyone carrying bundles
within certain restricted areas was
stopped and questioned; some were
searched.
Heavy guards placed at the Offices

tional bankers and financial repre-

Strangers Scrutinized
The dead line, FELTON, street be-
tween the East river and the Hud
son, was enforced more strictly than
ever with police and plainclothes-
men familiar with the district
scrutinizing all strangers who passed
below that street toward Wall
Street.
Reason for the unusual activity
lay in fear of bombings threatened
Thursday before arrival of Signor
Dino Grand, Italian foreign min
lister for a visit in New York, and
fear of violence in the district ex-
pressed by certain financial leaders.
Some ten years ago the district
was shaken by bombs which burst
in the thrCn,rs that packed the mar
row street near the j. P. Morgan
offices at Broad and Wall The
bombs, purportedly, we're set off by
fanatics.
Sandwiches Draw Inspection
The fear that something dread
ful might happen" was expressed
by financial leaders, according to
Police Commissioner Mulrooney's
order increasing the guard 1.-The
present unequal distribution of
wealth." it was feared, might lead

j. P. Morgan, who originally en-
ploys 24-hour armed guard of his
own, twelve men working in 8-hour
shifts, was at his Office all day. He
would not comment on the in
creased police activity.
Other workers went about their
business as usual, except that any
carrying 3-decker sandwiches or
other packages under their arms
were asked to prove their package
contained no internal machine.

HOOVER URGES
LOAN CAUTION
Repeats Former Advice to
Pan-AmeriCan Farley.

BIZ tHttcd Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-Presi-
dent Hoover told the fourth Pan
American conference today what he
had told the first one four years ago
no nation should lend or borrow
money for balancing its budget,
military purposes or anything that
does not bring productive return.
Il repeat this today" said the
President, because had it been fol-
lowed during the last five years, our
problems throughout the world
would be far different, our diff
culties infinitely less"
Mr.. Hoover pointed out that his
advice was delivered to the first
conference four years ago in the
heyday of foreign loans. He de-
voted half Of his address of welcome
to reading again his warning Of
that period against the interna-
tional lending of money for pur-
poses which do not bring a direct
Improvement Of the living standards
of the people.
No greater step than the adop-
ton of this principle could be taken
internationally for the prevention Of
war, he maintained.
He made no mention of the tar
iff, silver or other questions agi-
tating the delegates. He appealed
to them, however, for a closer CO.
operation of American republics, in
view of the depression.

.FLAYS BAR FOR
Sinking ideal.
'PedeStaI' Judges Slapped
by Justice Travis.

Judges who 'place themselves on
a pedestal and tell the world that
they know it ALL" were criticised
severely by Justice Julius G. Travis
of the supreme court in addressing
the indianapolis Bar Association at
dinner at the indianapolis Ath-
letic Club Wednesday night.
Il believe that the bar of the
United States has drifted away
from its first precept, that of Off
Ger of the court" the judge de-
clared.
Private business and taking of
clients for profit has been placed
above this fundamental duty.
"I see a growing tendency, how
ever, among lawyers in Indiana to
serve as officers of the court and
advise the courts on law matters,
Travis declared.
Judge Noel A. Neal of the appel
late court also spoke. The meeting
was attended by $50 members of the
bench and bar from Marion and
seven surrounding counties.

Gary Delegation Calls on
Attorney General for
Investigation.

Trial of Virgil kirkland, Gary
high school athlete, charged with
the murder of his sweetheart, Ar
lene braves, on a gin party in Gary
almost a year ago, may be brought
before the public again, it was
thought today.
A committee of ten Gary minis
tiers, school officials, reform leaders,
and business men at 2 this after
noon will present to Attorney-Gen-
eral James M Ogden petition
asking his investigation of the trial,
following which Kirkland was SEN
fenced to one to ten years in prison
on a manslaughter charge.
Ogden intimated that his Office
might be able to investigate the
trial, inasmuch as he had heard
several stories that tended to con-
vince him such an investigation
might be warranted.
The petition, bearing 5000 names,
asks investigation of the conduct of
the trial by Grant Crumpacker,
Porter circuit judge, whose son was
a member Of the defense counsel.
1t also asks Ogden to examine the
prosecution Of the case by Robert
Estill, Lake county prosecutor,
whom Kirkland thanked after the
verdict, saying, according to the
petition, You've been good to me"
At the time of the trial, ogden
wrote Judge Crumpacker that he
could sentence Kirkland to from
five to twenty-one instead of from
one to ten years, but the lesser SEN
tence was passed.
In the petition, the Gary citizens
will point out to Ogden that Crum-
packer refused to disqualify him
self as trial Judge.

CRIME BLAME LAID
PARTLY TO SCHOOL
We Can Not Shirk Share of
Responsibility Club Is
Told by StetsOn.

"The schools share in the respon-
sibility for the present wave of
crime and banditry can not be de-
nied," said Paul c. Stetson, super
intendent of city schools, on "Citi-
zenship and the Schools" speaking
before the Caravan Club luncheon
at the Murat temple today.
ct is true" be continued, that
the schools alone could not have
stopped this outburst of lawlessness,
but neither can they shirk their
just share Of the obligation"
Work of the schools in combating
crime, he pointed out, receives CO.
operation Of other character build
ing institutions. Boy Scouts, Girl
Scouts, Y. M. c. A, Y. w. G. A. j.,
and church and lodge organiza-
lions.
But the type OF child who at 10
is a petty thief, and at 16 is COM
mitted to a state institution never
is reached by one of these agencies
only through the schools" he said.
Pleads for Co Ordination
81 should like to sound a plea for
the coordination of all the forces
for right living in this city to the
end that each boy and girl may
have an equal opportunity, not only
to obtain a formal education, but
Of being trained in those qualities
of moral living vital to effective
citizenship"
The superintendent outlined the
new methods of teaching citizen
ship. "We must throw away the
ordinary textbook! The students
need to be taught their ethical re-
sponsibilities as the real governors
Of the state, not who was secretary
OF state in Washington's admins
tration. They must learn to rule
themselves, and to understand their
local government"
Cites Bad Environment
Methods of handling "the thor
oughly bad citizen, the one to whom
we refer as criminal" were pre-
sented, Last year thirty-nine cases
went from our social service de-
partment to juvenile court. In
every instance, there was an un-
broken record of bad family envi-
ronment," Stetson said.
Concerning attacks which are
made on school administration,
Stetson said: THE people have a
perfect right to criticise either the
officers in charge or the methods
which are pursued. The only type
OF criticism to which citizens and
officials alike object is that wnich is
actuated by unworthy motives, that
which is designed not to aid, but
to haraSS and embarrass
