DECLARE
PROHIBITION GAVE
GANGLAND A START
Bar Association Committee,
However, Not For or
Against Dry Law
ANALYZE CRIME SITUATION
Say Demand For Outlaws Since
Laws Inception Greatest
in History

Washington, Oct. 12.-(P)-A re-
port before the American Bar asso-
citation Wednesday said organized
crime by gangsters is based largely
on supply and demand and that pro-
hibition brought about demand for
the services Of outlaws such as we
never had in this or any other coun-
try prior to prohibition"
The report on "mercenary crime"
was made by the committee on GRIM
inology designated by the organiza-
ton two years ago to study gang
sters and their operations.
I'm the life of our cities we have
had various lawless gangs over the
last hundred years; the report said,
However, these gangs did not flour
ish and prosper to any great extent
until the advent of prohibition"
The committee consists of George
A. Bowman of Milwaukee, chairman;
Herbert Munro of Detroit and Will
liam D. Knight of Rockford, Illinois,
all prosecuting officers. They said:
1--WE do not want to be understood
as holding a brief for or against this
law; We simply point out what we
believe to be a fact, that prohibition
brought about condition OF times
and customs and law which made 1t
easy for the gangster to obtain a
large personal organization at a
small risk, and that it also brought
about a demand for the services Of
outlaws such as we never had in this
or any other country prior to prohi-
bition."
The report said despite the prohi-
bition laws there was "a general and
widespread demand on the part of a
large section of the American public
for Intoxicating liquor" and that few
people, If any," considered violation
of the dry laws involved moral tur-
pitude. It added:
mot only did great section of
the American public look with ap-
proval upon the violation of the law
itself, but those engaged in its viola
ton were considered respectable citi-
zenS whose services were more or less
essential to the comfort and we'll
being Of the community"
This condition, the report said,
made 1t easier to secure protection
and cooperation of police and other
law enforcement officers"
1t added that those in the bootleg
ging racket" soon found that when
their merchandise was stolen, they
could not expect police protection
from hi-jackers.
Because of the huge profits con-
nected with organized bootlegging
sales, the profits of prostitution and
gambling. gangs flourished in every
large city in the United States, with
few exceptions. ="

Two Children Also Beaten BY
Unknown AssaiIant; Po-
lice Seek Man

Connellsville. Pa. Oct. l2.-(P-
Beaten to death with heavy club or
piece Of iron, the bodies Of Mrs. Nellie
Tressler, %, and her mother, Mrs.
Amanda Harden, 81, were found at

Two Tressler children, Sadie, H.,
and Billy, 8, were slugged into un-
consciousness. They were taken to

Sadie may die.
Billy revived several hours after he
was found and told police:
MY mama did it. She hit Sadie
first and then me. She hit us with
q piece of iron.
However, police discredited the
boys statement. Mrs. Tressler's head
was beaten out of shape and investi-
gators said it would have been impos-
sible for her to inflict the injuries
upon herself.

whose identity they did not disclose,
who has been attentive to Mrs. Tress-
Ter.
The younger woman's body, clad
only in underclothing, was found In

Coolidge Defends
HOOUer'S Policies
Gives Much of Talk to Exposing
Economic Theory of
Republicans
HITS TRADE AGREEMENTS
Says Presidents Leadership
Averted Calamity Of
Bonus Payment

New York, Oct. 12.-Reaffirming
his faith in political principles es-
poused by the Republican party, for
mer President Calvin Coolidge Tues
day night asked the nation to reflect
Herbert Hoover as president.
Much of his talk was given to ex-
position of economic theory as inter-
preted by his party and he made
frequent reference to the record Of
his successor in office.
Declaring that things "could be
worse" despite the public clamor,
Coolidge said the blind desire for a
change might work harm and sug-
gested that the casting OF a vote
should be approached in the spirit of
a judicial function. He asserted that
things are worse in other parts Of
the world than in the United States
and that things in this country
would have been worse If it had not
been for the vision, the courage and
the leadership of President Hoover"
Asserting that other governments
have done no better than that of the
United States, Coolidge asserted 1.-The
inference is practically certain that
the present economic condition was
brought about by forces no govern
ment could forsee and prevent"
Challenging the Democratic pro-
posal of competitive tariff, Cool
idge said the meaning of the words
was not very clear and that, since
many commodities are selling below
cost Of production, "our producers
are not suffering from any lack of
competition"
Opposes Trade Agreements
Opposing reciprocal trade agree
ments, he quoted President Cleve-
land as saying that such an arrange
ment would jeopardize the govern
ment's control Of its own revenues
and Of commerce and designated him
as wise statesman"
Charging that the Democrats,
while emphasizing the need for
leadership as early as 1928 had Of
fered none Of their own, the former
president attacked the last congress,
in which the house was controlled
by Democrats.
Reviewing the Hoover record on
this point he said:
Meantime President Hoover had
proposed the formation of the Re-
construction Finance Corporation,
strengthening the Federal Land Bank
system, the amendment OF the Fed
eral Reserve laws to provide more
adequate credit and safeguard the
gold standard, the creation Of the
Home Loan Discount Banks and all
the other legislation passed by the
last congress for the general relief Of
the economic situation. Many times
he had the assistance and support of
individual Democrats which he has
publicly acknowledged. With this
record where does the country
think 1t can most hopefully turn for
leadership"
Turning his attention to the
money question, he charged that the

Belfast, Northern Ireland, Oct. II.
--(P)-British army troops were
rushed to Belfast Wednesday after
rioting, similar to that which result
ed in one death and more than 80
serious injuries Tuesday, broke out
again shortly before noon.
Quiet was restored by the police by
midnight Tuesday night after stern
quasi-military rule was clamped
down on the city. The quiet con-
tinued throughout the early morning
and forenoon until about II a. m,
when shooting broke out again In the
Falls area west Of the city.
A bus was wrecked by the mob
and every available armored car was
brought into use by the police.
The milling crowds retreated
quickly before the charge of armored
cars manned by police, however, and
quiet was restored.
A detachment of Iniskillent Tusi-
liers was brought in from the bar
racks at Hollywood and it was an
nounced the kings Royal Rifles were
due to arrive Friday.
Street cars and buses which had
discontinued service Tuesday night
had begun functioning during the
early forenoon.
Wholesale arrests were made dur
ing the morning. In one street alone
police gathered 80 persons. It was
understood plain clothes constables
had mingled with the mob, during
the riots, noted who the participants
were and bided their time.
Where trenches had been dug in
the streets the occupants of nearby
houses were ordered to fill them in,
but police eventually did it.
The Press Association, one of the
large British News Agencies, said the
Belfast police believed that the root
of the trouble was In Communism.
It is estimated there are 100000
unemployed in the Belfast district.
Quiet was restored late Tuesday
night following day of bloody riots
between police and unemployed
which resulted in one death and Sc

Although constant sniping on the
police continued in the Falls Road
district through the night, police en-
forced the curfew law strictly after
II o'clock. A Gordon Of police was
drawn around the entire city,
through which no one was allowed to
pass until daybreak.
There were IL outbreaks of firing
during the evening. Until II p. m,
thousands of persons thronged the
thoroughfares, but they went home,
though unwillingly, when police be-
gan to round up everybody they
found abroad after the curfew.
More than 1000 police patrolled the
streets on foot and bus. Street car
service was suspended. Three fires
occurred late Tuesday night.
