! CRIME DUE TO
DRY LAW
District AIieaist Says U. S.
Has Become Nation of Law
VioIatorS in Last Few Years

Increasing disrespect for all law,
which is engendered by the Vol
stead law and now is evident in
the National Capital, as well as
all sections of the country, was
today held primarily responsible
for the new "crime wave" in
Washington by DR.. D. Percy
Hickling, District alieniSt,
The root of the evil, DR.. HiCk-
ling observes, is the sumptuary
prohibition statutes and within
q decade I'VE will become ma
tion Of law violators.".
War Little to Blame
The District alienist attributes
but little of existing crime to "an
aftermath of the World War" "
although admitting that this
great conflict taught that life
is cheap. Volsteadism, he holds,
must bear chief responsibility.
DR.. Hickling, who supervlses the
treatment of the human derelictS
who come to the pSychopathlc
ward of Gallinger Municipal Hos
pital and is a specialist in men
tai disease, finds nothing mental
in the situation. DR.. William A.
White, superintendent of st. Eliz-
Abeth's Hospital, was out of the
city today and comment from
him was unobtainable.
Not a Mental Breakdown
DR.. Hickling said:
No, the sO-calIed crime cpl
demic here, and elsewhere, is
not mental 1t is a rather
complicated thing, growing out
of diSreSpect for law which is
fundamentally in the mind be-
cause of the VOlstead act.
"The prohibition law and its
many provisions is the chief
cause of this disrespect for law,
and you see it everywhere.
There is no respect, no venera-
tiOn for law as we used to
know it. Probably the prOuilest
claim of my father was that he
was an observer of the law;
and he taught me to respect it
always.
Fewer Law Observers
'There are far fewer OBJ
servers of the law today. We
seem to have become a nation
of law viOlatOrs and you may
trace this back to the prOhibi-
tiOn statutes; unwise IegisIa-
tiOn that has created disregard
of other legislation. If a man
wants liquor today he goes and
gets it; if a man wants money
he goes and gets that, by fair
means or foul"
DR.. Hickling was asked what
influence, if any, the World War,
long since past, might have had
upon the crime conditions of to-
day and replied:
"They may be slightly due to
a reaction from the World War,
but it's end came years ago.
Soldiers we're told to kill and
grew to have a lessened regard
for human life.'

get IS and sometimes 30 cents pound
for the bass.
Z O. KEMPER, chairman Of the Bass
II. Protective Committee Of the local
chapter of the Izaak Walton
League of America, under the date OF
March 3, wrote the following letter to
Judge Snow:
MY dear Judge Snow:
1.-The sportsmen Of Washignton who
fish in Virginia-and there are a great
man of them-are highly gratifled at
the action of your commission in closing
the inlets of the Potomac River. down
as far as HalloWing Point, to net fishing.
For years we have known of the
slaughter of the black bass CARRIED
on by the net fishermen of this area,
and have fought 1t and protested
against it without avail.
Il am familiar with the area in
question and have fished it for q great
many years. I am convinced that the
action taken by your commission Is the
only one which will preserve the bass
from practical extinction. For example.
Gunston Cove furnishes a meager living
to a dozen or more net fishermen, who
live on the bass they catch during the
Winter months These bass are boot
legged across the river into Maryland,
and If the Maryland markets were not
open they would be sent to Pennsyl-
vania or st. Louis.
IF these men could be persuaded
to leave the bass alone for a year or
two, the fishing by anglers would so
increase that they could make q far
better and easier living out of boat
hire and related sources of income
then they can now with their illegal
fish methods.
"As a Virginian, and the purchaser
of a Virginia fishing license each year,
express deep qualification at the action
of the commission, and a sincere hope
that no action will be taken to undo
the valuable conservation measure that
has been adopted.
"The time has come when the COM
nercial fishing interests must recognize
that the black bass Is game fish, and
that they will have to do something
for q living besides slaughtering him
for the fish market"
Rod and Stream asks all anglers who
are interested in fishing in the Virginia
creeks and coves and who want to
continue to have this sport to attend
the meeting in Alexandria. Judge Snow
has issued a cordial invitation to all
to be present and present their views.

In CHESS CIRCLES
BY FRANK B. WALKER

DRESS reports state that Jose r.
L Capablanca, former world cham
pion, has sent an ultimatum to
DIR. Alexander Alekhine, title-holder,
that unless he accepted challenges for
title match within the next year,
Capablanca would claim the champion
ship by default. This does not agree
with previous reports. Alekhine had
accepted Capablanca's challenge, and
had given the Cuban until February Is
to finance it, and that unless he did
SO, Capablanca was to forfeit the $500
deposit made by him. Nothing further
has been seen in regard to the &C
cepted challenge.
Another press report emanating from
New York credits Capablanca with
having said that something must be
done to make the game Of chess more
difficult, that in 20 or 25 years there
will probably be a half dozen players
who will have mastered all of its diff
ficulties, enabling them to make every
game a draw. This statement matches
his statement made I'm 1928 just after
he had been defeated by DR.. Alekhine
for the title, that chess had become too
easy. To remedy this situation he
suggests that the board be widened
two squares, and there be added two
more pieces and two pawns, the pieceS
to be located between the K and B end
