AMERICANS IN DANGER ZONE.
Missionaries Warned as Bandit Ex-

BY JUNIUS B. WOOD

Special Radio Dispatch to The Star.
MUKDEN, october 10-The largest
bandit determination" drive since jap
anese military operations started in
Manchuria is now in full swing. It
is confined to a southeastern area
roughly bounded on the west by the
Mukden-Ant Railroad, on the north
by Kirin and on the southeast by the
Korean frontier.
So effectively have preparations for
this operation been surrounded with
secrecy by army headquarters here that
until three weeks ago the hunted
Chinese. either actual bandits or anti
Manchukuo volunteer forces, knew
nothing about it.
Japanese infantry and cavalry are
now concentrated at the borders Of
the mountainous district. airplanes are
buzzing against the skies, long trains
of supplies have penetrated as far as
damaged bridges permit and no longer
is anybody susceptible to surprise about
this campaign. Consequently the ban
has been lifted ON the publication by
newspapers, which few read. OF what

POLITICAL FORCE
IN JUSTICE IS HIT.
Bar Association Delegates
Discuss Trial by News
paper" at Session.

Trial by newspaper" and the de
moralizing influence of politics" on the
administration of justice in this country
were severely criticized today at a con-
ference of American Bar Association
delegates, who convene for their fifty
fifth annual meeting here Wednesday,
Stuart H. Perry, director of the
Associated Press, and the proprietor of
two newspapers at Adrian, Mich, told
the delegates at preliminary confer
ence in the Mayfower Hotel that the
interference of the press with the ad-
minstration of criminal justice, often
referred to as trial by newspaper. and
the traffic between officers of the law
and the press, whereby information is
exchanged for publicity both grow out
of politics-the curse of our entire
judicial system"
Improvement Held Hampered.
He said that no radical and durable
improvement will be possible until the
administration of law is effectively de-
livered from political influences"
"Tria. by newspaper is unfortunately
too familiar to need any extended de-
scription," Mr.. Perry continued. That
loose but convenient term covers the
exploitation of crime news by the press
from Me sole standpoint of reader in
tereSt and without regard TO the effect
upon the administration of justice.
The subject matter of such pub
licity includes evidence often incom-
petent or false; interviews expressing
theories, suspicious and opinions: de-
scriptive matter appealing to emotion
or curiosity: all manner of claims and
assertions from defendants, witnesses,
attorneys and police, and finally, the
reporting of the trial itself in sensa-
tional and often prejudicial manner
The inevitable effect is to make salts
factory jurors harder to obtain; to in
fluence verdicts, and often to influence
the attitude of judges through the op-
Grafton of popular sympathy or preju-
dice.
Standards Are Raised.
Journalistic standards in general
have greatly improved, which leads
them to hope that trial by newspaper
as well as other faults in the handling
CT court news will gradually disappear
That hope is illusory. They will, per-
haps, diminish to certain point, but
beyond that point the reform will never
go spontaneously because there will
always be large body of readers who
will eat up such news matter, and,
therefore, there will always be pub
fishers to supply that demand. Such
publishers cater to those who read and
like their papers: they care nothing for
the opinions of those who do not read
them. Unscrupulous persons can never
be expected to give up lucrative trade
IN difference to mere disapproval not
enforced by legal sanctions"
Although conceding that newspapers
sometimes aid the enforcement of law
by focusing public opinion On incom-
petent or dishonest prosecutors and
judges, he said they more often do
harm by their published accounts of
