cities.
In Chicago q newspaperman's

Every pickpocket telephones the

Because the city Is 50 carefully

1t was an example Of what can be
accomplished when the law acts.
In some cities. notably Chicago
and New York, the federal forces,
working with comparatively few

suits In smashing organized crime
than have the great forces into

The biggest tribute the lawful

Misunderstanding Claimed.
The report was that Miss Leonora

men who had motive for killing Ben
iamin Ceilings of Stamford After
lengthy questioning. during which she
convinced officials OF the district attor-
ney's Office of Suffolk County. Long

edge. she was released

her, and I don't believe she had any"
said Assistant District Attorney Fred
j. Munder of Suffolk County. Il think
wrong construction was placed on
words she uttered

Asked to whom Miss Muttart had ut
tered these words. Munder said he
would not care to state"
The nurse was questioned at length
in police headquarters after she, had
finally consented to leave her apart
ment, in which she had previously
locked herself when sought for exami-
nation. A reporter for a New York
City newspaper was also questioned
concerning the report that Miss Nut
tart had important information.
Miss Muttart at first refused to leave
her apartment and with equal insist
ence refused to let police enter. For
hours they argued with her. shouting
their pleas through the locked doors
and at last she bowed to their wishes.
But by that time crowds gathered IN

that the father and a brother of an
unidentified girl might have been the
slayers of Ceilings.
Reports from Huntington were that
Munder wanted to question Miss Nut
tart as a possible acquaintance of Mrs.
Ceilings, who yesterday at the coroner's
inquest told in public for the first time
her story of how two men boarded the
Penguin. abducted her, and abandoned
her 5-year-old daughter on the drift
ing cruiser after numbering her hus-

Text of Hoover Statement
holding Demands for Projects Which Involve
Increased Expenditures Until Nation Improves.

Congressman and Senators-that is, not
to increase, but to decrease, the ex-
penditures of the Federal Government.
IT have before me a review from
the Bureau of the Budget of 271 bills
introduced into the last Congress ask
ing for increased Federal expenditures.
which were referred to the executive
agencies for report. These fall into
two cateRories-those in which the
total obligation is expressed in the bill
and those which would result in a
continued annual obligation.
After eliminating all duplicates, the
bills which were reported adversely by
the administration during the Seventy
first Congress amounted to 81, $780,
100000 of the first category and an
annual expenditure in the second cate
CORY of 1900, 100000 Taking only 9
10-year period, this latter category
would amount to an expenditure of
some $4,000. 900 900, or a total Of
nearly $4,000, 0oo. 900.
Calls Demands Sectional.
1.-THE main interest in this table Is
the fact that it discloses how largely
these bills arise from pressures of
group and sectional interests. Unless
there is general recognition that this
is no time for such activities, these
same pressures will again arise.
"It is important that there should
be great effort on the part of or
CARNATIONS of our country to express
their disarnroval of such expenditures
now, even though the projects may be
the most meritorious. They should be
withheld until the country is in better
condition"
