GANGLAND CHALLENGED

1t remains to be seen what gangland
does about the challenge issued to its
members by the federal government
through Joseph b. keenan,, special as
sistant attorney general, appointed to
stamp out racketeering and gangsterism
Keenan, is supervising the compilation
of evidence against Harvey Bailey and
Albert Bates, leaders of gangland who
are implicated in kidnapings, Jail breaks
and the Kansas City massacre.
Since the pair were apprehended, one
in Dallas, Texas, and the other in Den
yer, there have been rumors that gang
land would stage a pitched battle to res
cue them.
At Oklahoma City, where both have
been indicted, keenan, issued the following
statement: They Bailey and Bates)
will be transported here without any
specific desire for secrecy and if any of
their confederates want to meet the caval
cade along the road, any desire they may
have will not be denied them. This state
ment is made in dead earnest without any
desire to be overdramatic.
"The government, in its efforts to stamp
out outrages, will use every force at its
command, including the United States
army, if necessary.
"The government desires to see every
one of these hardened criminals either
hanged or electrocuted. The government
will have no hesitancy in delivering the
defendants to state authorities to answer
state charges, where the death penalty
is provided by law-to the end that the
message may be brought home to this un-
derworld army that it cannot hope to
cope with the forces Of the United States.
That is fighting talk from Uncle SAM
who evidently has his sleeves rolled up.
Gangland may accept the challenge put
it will be surprising if it does. 1t prefers
the ambush method of welfare, shooting
from the dark, or seeking fight only
when all the odds are in its favor.
The government statement is a ilne
start toward throwing the fear OF the law
into gangland, If the country Will PACK

on is emphasized by news from Chlcago'
hitherto the Eden of gangland. Inc stay
er of a policeman was sentenced to death'
nine days after the crime. More OF the
same speed is the most effective weapon
against gangland.

a cheap pen on q small memo pad.
His statement yesterday about the
coal code was scrawled on six pa

ment itself was only 200 words long.
When a delegation of roughly
dressed stevedores of radical tinge
came to see Johnson the other day,
there was almost an apologetic look
on his secretary's face. Used to ush-

industrial world, she explained with
out being questioned, that "of
course" the general could do moth

A SPLENDID JOB

The final shipfoad of Gold Star moth
ers has landed at New York, following a
tour of the battlefields in France.
In all the government took 6,674 moth
ers to Europe that they might have the
consolation of seeing their sons graves
and drop mothers tears on the green
mounds beneath which their one-time
babies sleep.
The various pilgrimages of mothers
have been carried out with no bare OF
trumpets and no ballyhoo. The govern
ment conducted them all in spirit of rev.
erence and dignity demanded by the cir
cumstances.
1t performed in a highly creditable
manner, task of which every American
may be proud None but the mothers
themselves will ever know just what the
pilgrimage meant to them. And it Is to
the everlasting credit of the United States
that from the time each moher left her
home until she returned there, she has
been treated as mother should be treat
ed, with all the solcitude which great
government could show.
The individual men of the army who
conducted the pilgrimage will never be
known to the great majority OF their
countrymen, but it is certain they will
never be forgotten by the 6,674 mothers
toward whom they acted as devoted sons.
We may have our Teapot Domes" and
other scandals, but we can give thanks
that the United States still has heart
and sometimes, at least, is governed by 1t.

few annoyanceS for General Hugh
S. Johnson, who has been anxious
to keep his attention riVeted on
more serious troubles.
First there was the case of Mrs

disagreement caused resignation of
q nationally known economist.
Then came the case of Miss Fran
ces Robinson. pert little secretary
TO the recovery chief. In utmost

of the steel and oil code signings,
she informed newspapermen who
were provoked at being shunted out
of the office that the general turn

Johnson had to squash that an
nouncement before he went to bed,
and chagrined secretary blushing-

Now comes the case of another
prominent feminine figure in the

stepping stones to reams of state

over, worked in the belief that the
disease was caused by germ, which
was found in the blood of sick hogs.
Persistent efforts failed to develop
immunity among hogs inoculated with
this germ, although hogs that recover
from the disease are always immune.
This disparity between laboratory
and field results led DR.. Marion Dorset
of the United States Department of
Agriculture to abandon the germ
theory and seek other causes. In his
experiments he discovered that blood
which had been filtered to remove the
germ would cause the disease as quickly
as filtered blood This suggested filter
able virus as the cause of hog cholera.
The microorganism that causes the
disease has never been cultivated arti-
f1cially in laboratories. It cannot be
seen, even with the most powerful mi
croscope; it passes readily through the
pores of the finest filters, which will
hold back all visible bacteria; and it is
known only by the effects which it pro-
duces.
With the cause established, the battle
was half won. DR.. Dorset and his asso-

ciates set up an improvised laboratory
in shack on farm just outside Ames
Iowa, and set out to find a cure or pre-
ventive. The result was the serum virus
treatment, now recognized everywhere
as the only method of controlling hog
chrolera.
AS the center of hog production in
this country, Iowa has profited more
than any other State as result of this
discovery, although farmers in all Sec
tions have used the treatment for many
years. In spite of the certain protection
offered by the serum virus treatment
many farmers continue to run the risk
of their hogs contracting the disease
AS result cholera still kills more hogs
than all other diseases combined.
