BUSINESS KEPT
 LEGION MEN AT WORK ALL DAY
Hanford MacNider Will Be in New Britain Satur- day, Coming From Cafi- ada By Plane

New Britain, Conn, Aug 21- Business sessions occupied the at- tention of some 1900 legionnaires to-day at the 18th annual conyen- tion of the Connecticut department of the American Legion. Hanford MaeNider, United States minister to Canada and former na- tional legion commander, notified headquarters of the. Second Divi- sion Association that he would speak Saturday on "the future re- lations between government and veterans" He was expected to come from Ottawa by airplane. An extremely close contest was looked for in to-morrow's elections in which James E. Breslin of Hart ford, defeated last year, and Post Commander Joseph Treadwell of Danbury are rivals for the position of state commander Neither ap- pearcd to have q marked advan- tage.
 Commander E. l.. Newmarket stood at 14,$29, peak total. He praised cooperation of the various posts in carrying on the work of the legion, particularly in child welfare, orphan aid and hospitali- zation.
 Major General Smedley D. But Ter, who spoke yesterday, was en- route to E,ston, Pa. to-day where he is scheduled to attend the Penn salvation state legion convention.

it's leading investigator, Sidney r. simpson of the New York bar who said:
 "A mart of the money now re- ,,,,red to be expended in the ad- ministration of criminal )ustlce is snent in the enforcement Of stat utes applying to conduct Wl.h Wl.h which it is a matter or depate whether the people and the crim, inal courts are intrinsically ntteu to deal, and which must, in some cases. at least, be regarded as out side the limits of effective lceai action by means of the crimlnai law.
 "A thorough overhauling Of our criminal codes with d view to ap- praising the social advantage oi such statutes and comparing that advantage, if any, with the cost ol their administration would appear highly desirable from an economic standpoint.
 "It is clear. we think, that the cost of enforcing the criminal law would be less if It did not attempt to forbid and punish acts partlci- hated in by large numbers of otherwise law abiding citizens who do not regard such prohibited acts as criminal except in a technlcal sense
 However, the desirabillty Of thus reducing the burden imposed on the taxpaying public by expen- ditures for criminal justice will undoubtedly be determined in the light of views as to social consld- era attons with which we are not concerned in this report
 Tke commission was concerned over extortion of money by threats from legitimate and illegitimate business. It found that racketeer- ing now is probably the most prof. table form of crime and had come to peryade a substantial part of the national economic life
 Investigator Simpson reported that "the alliance between racket eering and the activities of certain labor unions is reputed to be close.'
 "Comprehensivc investigation is very difficult Simpson continued, and would, indeed be highly dan gerous to the investigator. Never theless such investigation is a task which urgently needs to be carried out.

 orators fair play will be the pass word.
 "I, having been d member of the democratic party all my lire ln Waterbury, know that my request for 10 out of the 20 moderators to be named for the primaries is n reasonable one, and, therefore. l feel that the town committee Monday night will be fair to my organization and grant us the pick ing of 10 of the election officials.
 Town Chairman Crary stated to- day that he Is not opposed to the granting of the Kennedy request. However. he pointed out, the whole matter is up to the members or the town committee themselves.
 There are 20 voting districts in which moderators must be named. There are 20 members on the town committee representing each dis trict. It has been the custom to allow each district chairman to de- eide upon his own organization.
 Last nights meeting of the town committee was not fully attended, due to the fact that several com mitteemen are out of town. Mon- day nights session Is expected to see q full attendance, Chairman Crary said this morning.
 Last night the Kennedy forces of the fourth ward met and com pleted organization plans The Hayes forces of the second and 18th districts also met last eve ming at separate sessions and laid down arrangements for the 27th when the balloting, in the primary battle will take place.
 Tonight the Hayes forces of the 18th district will meet at Ander- son school with Committeeman Timothy J. Garren, presiding Final plans for handling the vote in the 18th will be discussed and completed. Tomorrow night the Hayes forces in the 12th district will meet at Franco-American hall for the same purpose.
 Just when the Kennedy ticket of delegates vii lbe formally com pleted is not known at the presen! time but the names must be filed with the town committee three days before the primaries. which means Monday night, also.

eteering and ordinary business in certain lines appears to have be- come very close in some cases.
 Another extremely disturbing phase of the matter is the appar- ently growing tendency toward amicable relationships, cemented by bribery and graft, between or ganized crime and public agencies charged with the duty of law en- forcement.
 "The cost of administering criminal justice is relatively small in comparison with other economic losses to individuals and to the community resulting from crime.
 Tt Is easier to identify the $5,70 per year chargeable to each in- habitant of Chicago on account of municipal police expenditures, than it is to ascertain each such per sons share of the amount annually extorted from the public of Chica- go by racketeers; but the latter cost is probably more than the former.'
 Simpson cOntended the public paid for the racketS in increased prices.
 The commissions own statement was contained in eight o fthe 658 pages in the report. It included a unanimous opinion that recommen- datoins of investigators should be carried out.
 "Crime imposes a tremendous economic burden on the commit nity," the commission said. The economic damage which results is most serious. It should not require the dramatic effect of some lump sum total figure to emphasize the importance and necessity, from purely economic standpoint of dealing adequately with the prob lem"
 The investigators, Simpson and his partner, Goldthwaite II. Door of the New York bar, figured the federal cost of criminal justice quite accurately, they said.
 Their tables showed the predom- inance of prohibition in the fed eral crime prevention picture of costs for the fiscal year 1929-30:
 Police and marshals: cost, $35,- 923,915; prohibition, $25, 5,644, 069; TAI per cent.
 Prosecution agencies: cost. $1,- JJO,JfD pIoHIDI'Iob, 3JJO, ( ~, fo'0 per cent.
 Courts: cost $G,331 ,015; prohibi- ton $4,308, ,004; 68.1 per cent.
 Penal institutions: cost $8,480,- 530: prohibition, $3,842,416 45.3 per cent.
 Prohibition and pardon: cost, $53,764: prohibition, $37339; 69.3 pa cent.
 9otal; cost, $52,786,202: prohi- biNon $34,828,550; 66 per cent.
 This detailed material could not be obtained for the states, because adequate statistics are not collect ed. The commission recommended that arrangements b, made for the annual collection of such statistics in the future.

plished in Russia, the wholesale destruction of churches did not take place. Many churches have been torn down to make way Tor improvements. But seldom Is any church with any artistic or histor- ical value touched. Most of the destroyed churches had no value even as buildings. Many have been filled with anti-religlOua propa- ganda.
 One beautiful church has been ordered torn down to make way for a new temple of labor. It IS the Cathedral of the Redeemer occupying one of the most com manding sites in the city of Mos COW. This church Is magnifi- cent structure with great dome made from a ton of pure gold but the communists claim that 1t has no historical value or artistic merit It was completed in the later part of the last century and Is not pure Russian in style.
 Perhaps the real reason 1t Is doomed is because 1t can be seen from most any spot in the com munist capital and such remind CT of God rankles the Soviet soul

co was a vindication of the police departments plan of placing po- licemen on milk teams. Notwith- standing the brass band public ity" given to the scheme, Super numerary Policeman John Pan- none came through this morning with the first arrests. He encoun- tered the two men mentioned on Wentworth street and stopped both and quizzed them. They were unable to give satisfactory answers explaining their presence in that part of the city at that hour. Otfi- cer Pannone escorted them to the police signal box on the Columbia boulevard.
 In the meanwhile the telephone call had been sent into police head quarters about the mysterious lights in the Mccoy residence and Patrolman Alfred Overton, with Supernumerary Policeman Dins- cavage, were sent by Captain Frank Cutting to investigate. They encountered Pannone with his prisoners, but continued on their way to the home that was sns- pected of being burglariZed. On COIuf1lD Dld DOuleNdIu tDSy oC'dihS suspicious of a parked auto. Throwing their light into the ma chine they spotted DeJoseph and Martin crouching on the floor of the car. When questioned they claimed that they were waiting for a couple of pals. When com pelled to describe their friends they gave descriptions correspond ing to Ryder and Telesco. Both men were found in possession of | guns. Patrolmen John Deeley and Joseph Mccarthy arrived on the scene and assisted in the arrests. Dalonges and MoZoritis are not connected with the other quar- tette. They were lon their own when Patrolmen Meaney and Lynch became suspicious Of them and trailed them out east in po- lice car.
 Supernumcrary Policemen Pan none and Mccarthy have spent the past week riding about the Colum- bia boulevard section on milk teams.

 Everyone of the six now under arrest have police records and have served time in jail and the reformatory for participation in burglaries and hold-ups.
 Superintendent Joseph II. Me- Lean was extremely well pleased with the arrests today and voiced his praise of the work of Pannone and other officers involved in the captures.
 As a matter of fact, however, the police are still looking for the chap known as the bath tub bur glar" He started the series of breaks" in residences where the families are absent, but when the chase became too hot abandoned the work and left the city. The sleuths arc still looking for him. It is now believed that the gang arrested today decided to cash in on the reputation of the bath tub burglar and were giving the bou- levard the once over when arrest = ed.
