WEDNESDAY
American Bar Association Has
Annual Meeting; Crime
Traced to Politics

Nationally known lawyers
from everp part of the United
States have arrived in Wash
ington to register today for
the fifty-fifth annual meeting
of the American Bar Associa-
tion, which will be featured
by an address Wednesday eve
ming by President Hoover and
by the laying of the corner
stone of the new Supreme
Court building Thursday morn
ing by Chief Justice Hughes.
Numerous affiliated groups are
meeting in conjunction with the
association, with headquarters at
the Hotel Mayflower, though the
large general sessions will be held
in Constitution Hall.
Seabury in Address
Today's chief event from the
point of view of the general con.
vention was the conference of
Bar Association delegates at the
Mayflower, at which Samuel Sea-
bury, who ousted Mayor Jimmy"
Walker, and John w. Davis, for
mer Democratic preside EN- tt a |
candidate. spoke on 'Co-ordina-
ton of the Bar"
Stuart H. Perry, of Adrian,
Mich, attributed most of the
troubles due to our high crime
ratio and lax law enforcement to
politics. This, he said, was par
ticularly true in large cities,
where those evils reached their
maximum.
Police corruption, failure of the
jury Systetm, abuse of bail, con-
tlnuanceS and habeaS corpus, pro-
baton. suspended sentences and
pardons, he said, all trace back to
policies.
Praises Newspapers
Publicity seeking officials, he
asserted, are eager to try cases in
the newspapers. He said neWspa-
per standards have improved
much in recent years, and urged
that lawyers and the courts CO.
operate with the press by furnish
ing news as to litigation and de.
clslons intelligently and promptly
He said the newspaper wants to
report legal news correctly and
that the representatives of reputa
ble newspapers can be assumed to
be gentlemen.

weak compromises we are making.
For instance, he takes an entirely
immoral attitude toward the econ
omies effected by Mayor Mckee,
passing no judgment on their right
eousness, but insisting that at the
present time all economies are
mistake. What we need, | gather, is
to spend money, even if we spend
it wastefully. 1t is only by spending
that the wheels of capitalist industry
are kept oiled. And so, on my own
pet project, Mr.. Dennis is hostile.
The project is in brief that we either
freeze temporarily or shoot perma-

RULING DUE

A "show-down" on the move of
Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford,
chief of police, to oust Inspector
Frank S. w. Burke from COM
mand of the detective bureau and
to "break" Inspector Ogden 7.
Davis to the rank of captain, IS
due tomorrow, when the District
Commissioners are scheduled to
act in the matter.
Police Commissioner Crosby has
given assurance that Inspector
Burke will be given full oppor-
tunity to answer charges made
against him by the police chief.
Although General Glassford
praises Inspector Burke as an eff
fiCient officer, he claims that the
detective head has repeatedly de-
clined to cooperate with him and
in a number of instances has
failed to CORY out certain orders.
The only specific charge known
against Burke is one of failing to
keep an efficiency reord of mem
berS of the detective bureau.
Burke has said he has never been
asked to produce this record.
