SAVANTS LEARN
WHY GANGSTERS
DIE EARLY

CHICAGO. June % GN.SJ
Greed, ambition for power. and
overconfidence are the prime
causes that bring premature
death to the average "big shot"
gangster, the American Sociologi
cal Society and Society for Social
Research we're told today.
Members of the two affiliates
Of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science
heard an analysis of gangland's
many murders from a practical
Sociologist, Ben Reitman. former
dean of the hobo college here.
Reason for Many Deaths
After surveying the problem Of
the social outcast, Reitman listed
the following reasons for the
alarming death rate in the select
circles Of gangdom:
Greed. The average we'll
known gangster doesn't know
when to be satisfied.
Too much a m bition. He
wants more territory, more
power, and wants to do all the
'fixing" himself.
Over-confidence. He forgets
his own limitations, allowing
his mob to talk him into
thinking he is bigger than the
law.
Jealousy. He becomes en-
vious and bitter toward other
gang leaders and is careless in
making enemies Of them.
Lack of vision and foresight.
He is unable to see impending
danger and avoid it.
Flaunts Wealth
Development of an exhibi-
zionist tendency. He displays
his wealth and dares authori-
ties. to arrest him or his enemies
to kill him.
Forgetfulness of the strength
of the Government and, in
cidentally, the ferocity of his
enemies.
Neglect of his health. He
allows wine, women, and dys-
pepsia to get the best of him.
Lack of ability to adjust him.

COUNTY To FIX
TAX RATE

Instead Of holding their regu
lar meeting tomorrow, the Mont,
gomery county commissioners
will convene Friday at l p. m.
to sign the annual levy and es
tablish the tax rate for the next
fiscal year.
The delay in signing the levy
is occaSioned by the wait neces-
sary because of the Federal aid
given to the State which in turn
allots a portion to the counties,
the exact amount of which is
not yet known. 1t is hoped to
bring the rate down to $l.10 or
less.

on the motion without taking referen-
dunn in the section, but the motion was
passed.

G. Yaden, president of the Federation
of Citizens Associations. urged before
the meeting that citizens associations
consider the matter of establishment Of
zones in which the beer may be sold.

approving in principal a lengthy report
ON proposals for solving the unemploy-
ment situation in the District. The

MORTGAGE RELIEF
Next Message Will Outline
Program for Farmer and
Home Owner.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevclt's next message to
Congress will recommend a program
of farm mortgage and small home mort
gage relief, including methods of re-
financing. 1t will be ready for presen-
tation in few days.
The farm mortgage program will be
embodied in a bill on which Henry
Morgentheau. jr, the Farm Board
chairman, and DR.. w. I. Myers, his as
sistant. now are working.
BY the time Congress IS ready to con-
slider the bill Morgentheau's plan for
consolidating Federal farm credit agen-
cies will be complete. Most of this will
be accomplished by executive order.
Morgentheau conferred On the legis-
lation today with Senator Robinson of
Arkansas, the Democratic leader, and
members of the Senate Banking and
Agriculture Committees. Robinson said
he expected the measure to be finished
within two or three days.
Follows Canadian Plan.
In some respects. the plan will follow
the Canadian system which provides
for debtor relief or conciliation courts.
These courts have broad powers to
scale debts downward. but in this coun-
try this would not be possible because
of constitutional limitations except
where debtor and creditor could be
brought together through an agreement
to reduce the face of the debt
A system of farm debt arbitration
agencies was authorized at the last
session Of Congress and plans for set
ting them up now are being considered
by Federal District Courts under whose
direction they are intended to operate.
They have as their aim conferences
between farmers and their debtors to
arrange methods of working out debt
difficulties by agreement.
The basis of the Roosevelt relief
plan. however, will be the refinancing
of mortgages. The White House does
not contemplate that a special bond
issue will be needed, but the measure
may authorize the credit agency to
sell bonds in the same manner as the
Federal Farm Land Banks now obtain
capital for their operations.
One method of refinancing which has

D. c. BEER REVENUE
OF $1,000 A DAY SEEN
Unofficial, Estimate Based on Ma.
tional Consumption
Figures.

With the legal motion of beer sales
IN the Capital, revenue of $1,000 a
day Is expected to flow into the District
Golfers.
This unoffcial estimate was made
today on the basis of the tax of 81 a
barrel proposed, In the bill as reported
by the House District Committee.
The estimated yearly revenue Of
1896, 900. however, is calculated roughly
on the amount of beer likely to be con-
Sumed here. Taking the brewers es-
innate that the national consumption
would be glass day, per person, one
mathematician figured that, with the
population of washington at 475,000
and the average glass of beer at 8
ounces gross, there would be a daily
consumption of 100000 ounces.
Since there are 1913 ounces to gallon
and 81 gallons to the barrel, it was
figured Washingtonians would drink
l 900 barrels of beer day. With tax
OF 81 a barrel, the revenue would be
$365,O0O a year.
