SY sIAMEO 1AkAAkAA4A@GlAN
Suppression of crime is funda
mentally a local problem despite
the Governments activity in re
cent months, in the opinion Of
Joseph B. keenan,. Assistant
United States Attorney General
in charge of the criminal dlVl
sion.
keenan, has been moving ir
and out of various States ano
playing a leading role in the
Governments war on kidnaperS
He said today:
'eNever has the Department
of Justice veered from the prln-
ciple that suppression Of crime
IL the duty and the obligation
Of the local authorities.
'cNATIONAL MENACES."
"Up to a comparatively short
time ago all crimes were re-
garded as local in nature. But
Neutrality-suspicious. the public or
the legislatures apparently real
izing it-crimes which were
local problems became ma
tiOnal menaces.
"The kidnaper, the crook, the
gangster has readily availed
himself of modern means OF
Transportation and cOmmunlca-
tion. Crooks devised we'll
thought-out-schemeS where by
4ho., could utiliZe modern facili-
ties such as 16-cylinder cars
super-highways, and the arr
plane. 1t was not SURPRISING
that the Government stepped
into the picture.
Use State Lines
keenan, pointed out that Grim
inals take advantage Of the IN
ability of the authorities in ONT
state to swing officials OF an
other State into action against
them. He said:
Criminals have capitalized
the restrictions artlflclaIly
placed on city police and county
sheriffs. Such restrictions bring
these officers to a dead stop at
State lines. Criminals have
been amused to note the cir
cumscribed powers Of city police
and the State cOnstabulary.
ST believe purely local crimes
should be handled by the local
authorities, especially when
thew are committed in the big
cities. If they are not sup
pressed, the public must recog-
nize that some form of cOrrup-
ton exists-that there is a
union of organized crime with
corrupt police or politicians, or
both.
ut is not the duty Of the
Federal Government to correct
such a situation. AS long as a
community stands for that kind
of enforcement, that is the kind
they will get"
FOR u. S. AID
keenan, said, however, tha
when crimes change their nature
by the use of modern inventions
and when such crimes can be sue
cessfully attacked "by making
them Federal offenses without il
any way violating the principle O
local government or State Sover
eighty" he is in favor Of Fedora
Government cooperation.

 Emergency Squad Following Raids Small Fines Imposed So That Places Will Be Promptly Closed

Patrick Moylan, Fred Hickey and Edward Roach. t
 Joseph Galgota, 43, of 13 Con- gress avenue spoiled a perfect record by expressing his inability to pay a fine of $75 and costs. He has been operating a speakeasy for several weeks within a few yards of the church. He appeared with out counsel and pleaded guilty.
 Vernon Hollomon, 47, colored, of 37 Vine street. was fined $50 and costs. Officer Carson was asked if he had ever witnessed any fights ar disturbances in Hollomon's s place of business. He replied that he had not witnessed the actual fights, but had observed the re- suits of them.

Gudasky informed the of ficers and Judge Edward Mascolo this morning that he had planned to close his refreshment parlor next Saturday. He has been wait ing for a permit with which to open a beer establishment.
 q want it understood by these men," remarked the court" that on imposing these small fines l am doing so with the understand ing that they close up at once and remain out of business until the licenses in which to sell drink within the law"
 Hollomon and Gudasky paid their fines, but there will be no worry about Galgota retiring" for the time being. He claimed that he was penniless and decided to go to jail. The accused apparently took little nerve tonic before entering court, for during the pre- sentation of evidence Judge Mas colo interrupted him with the query, Pardon me. but haven't you been drinking this morning ?"
 The accused admitted that he had.

WHY NOT GET
 AFTER TRAMP CAT
An Order to This Effect Would Be Greatly
 Appreciated
PREYS ON SONGBIRDS

Now that steps have been taken to control the conduct of the dog, why not carry things little fur ther- and see what can be done, if anything, to regulate the move- ments of the tramp cat and thus save some of the songbirds that come to spend the summer in this part of the country. It is surpris- ing where all the cats come from one sees in the lots at this season. And there will be more of them now that they. will not be annoyed by the presence of dogs nosing around through the brushwood.
 The stray cat kills a lot of fine songbirds. This explains why the melody of the thrush, bobolink and other songsters you heard yes- terday are silent to-day and fiedg- 1ings unable to scratch for them- selves are found dead in their nests. A campaign against the cat that takes up quarters in the brushwood and ,preys on birds. would be more popular than the order to tie up the dogs.
