Yet one OF the recent sensational kid

Kansas City is case in point.
Pretty Boy" Floyd, now terrorizing the
West as Jesse James in modern dress,
started as petty booze peddler in
Kansas City. He attracted the atten-
ton OF local police and left town.
Shortly after he took to the smoking
pistol and went violent by way of re-
plenishing vanished bootleg exchequer.
He kidnaps sheriffs and uses them as
hostages to enforce his maddened will
upon the people.
1t Is not exaggerating to say that
local police welcome warnings that
dangerous criminals are touring their
towns and villages. The warning, in
SeSoN Va SAOS21ls AOdOS W AcC1lS D,
opens them. What can a rural police
man do against trained machine gun
ner? The warned officers seek sanctuary
in the jail. The killers ride unhampered.
Police in many cities, alarmed by the
spread of violent crime, are equipping
to meet this condition Armored cars,
trained machine gunners and radio
equipment are being adopted. These
will win in the long run, not because
they are efficacious in the extreme, but
because violent crime always defeats it
self. The willingness to protect violent
crime is lacking. The same cop who
winked at a bottle of liquor will stand
his ground over a deck of heroin or a
callous murder for profit.

violence comes from in the narcotic
traffic.
New York City today is going through
series of murders at once ghastly and
grotesque. In the metropolitan area
some 10 killings have occurred in q
month. Four of the men killed were
to have been witnesses in the trial OF
gang leader charged with tax evasion.
Each Of them has since been identified
with the narcotic traffic.
For several years the question most
often asked me has been: What diff
ference does it make if gangsters muir
other?" There you have the best an
swer to that question I know. These
victims, all purported criminals of the
worst order and each presumed to be
narcotic addict and peddler, constitute
the only evidence the Government can
use in court to destroy the vast GRIM
inal rings that racketize the Nation.
The underworld will tell you that all
these men were murdered for what they
knew, for what they might testify in
court that would lend itself to cor
roboration.

MOVIE COLONY ALARMED.
HOLLYWOOD Scotland Yard" Planned to
War on Kidnapers.

HOLLYWOOD, July IA R-Steps
toward the formation of a Hollywood
Scotland Yard" were advocated yes
terday as film celebrities, feeling a bit
jittery as a result Of the recent wave
of kidnapping, depleted the ranks of un-
employed bodyguards.
Many stars of cinema land during the
past few days have employed private
police for themselves or their children
in fear that an effort will be made to
abduct them. Others have had such
protection regularly.
The recent kidnapping Of John j.
O'Connell, jr., son of powerful New
York politician, brought to a new peak
the demand for bodyguards and as a
result former detectives, many of them
penSioned from the Los Angeles Police
Department. are finding new work.
Joseph w. Reilly. chief of police Of
the Fox Film Corporation, is the spon-
sor of a plan that the major studios
combine in the organization of film
land Scotland Yard" He has urged
that ten of the larger studios raise a
fund of 100000 so a far-reaching
secret police system could be put into
operation.
Trained investigators, having access
to the so-called underworld" would
be employed, and in this way. Reilly
stated, many extortion and abduction
plots could be prevented.
Meanwhile, Chief of Police r. R. Stec-
kel issued orders to his men to shoot
to kill in combating kidnapers. The
police department. Steckel said, is keep
ing close watch on many former boot
leggers who have been forced out of
business as a result of the recent lib
eralization of anti-liquor laws.

NEW YORK, July IA (P.-The New
York Sun, one of the newspapers desig
mated by the kidnapers of Lieut. John
j. O'Connell, jr., to publish the names
of a new set Of negotiators, received
the advertisement from the O'Connell
family shortly before noon today.
Jim O'Connell. former New York
saloon keeper and at present a restau-

Joe Curro were named in simple code.
Another message was received by the

The three named in the World-Tele-
gram were Charles Wachter, Tony
Condi and Nanny Strewl. In this case
the advertisement was signed by Willie
Martin"
Wachter is employed in Troy, N. Y,

Catskills Are Watched.
The legend laden Catskill Mountains,
where Rip Van Winkle took his long
sleep, still held the attention of the
New York State police, and interest in
that area was heightened by the re-
ported appearance there early today of
the missing mans father.
The elder O'Connell was said to have
stopped for q short time at one of the
hotels in the village of Catskill, used
by the slain Legs" Diamond as the
racketeering activities in New York City.
According to information emanating
from the village, OConnell left in an
automobile and presumably returned to
his brother Dams Thompson Lake Sum-
mer home, where the pair have been
waiting for a contact. The other brother,
Ed. remained in the city.
Meanwhile District Attorney John T.
Delaney, in charge of the local investi-
cation, conferred with his operatives
who yesterday turned up three persons
who were questioned by the prosecutor
in his endeavor to find the Albany resi-
dent, who, he said, co-operated with
the kidnapers in snatching young O'Con-
nell early last Friday.
Investigators Silent.
New York City detectives, familiar
with the escapades of Diamond in
Green County in the Catskill Noun
tains, worked feverishly in that area,
while Thomas Cullen's Department of
Justice agents moved quietly here, in
Buffalo and in Manhattan.
No comment on their activity was OBJ
tainable from either of the groups, al
though the officers in charge expressed
themselves as pleased with the work Of
their men.
Newspapers receive a report that
cries had been heard last Friday night
from an automobile passing through
Thacher Park, popular section of the
Heidelberg Mountains near the O'Con-
nell Camp.
There was no verifcation Of the re-
port. State police at Troy Barracks,
directing the search for young O'Con-
nell, said they had not heard of it.

Man Involved in Case.
CHICAGO, July IA R-From a
woman who is believed to have wit
messed the $50, 900 down payment" that
resulted in the release by kidnapers OF
John Factor has come clue that many
help investigators find the men who
abducted him.
She is Mrs Cardie Kiefer Of near
Hinsdale, who told Police Chief George
Kummerow of suburban Elmhurst a
story that coincided with the details OF
the ransom payment as related by Fac
tor himself. Mrs. Kiefer said she could
identify one of the men she saw.
Mrs. Kiefer said her attention was
attracted Wednesday afternoon by a
taxicab which was being driven slowly
along a street in HinSdale. followed by
a small coupe containing two men.
Can Identify Two.
"There was one passenger In the
cab" she said. HE got out and ap-
preached the coupe. He was carrying
something that looked like a brightly
colored chain-perhaps pair OF hand
cuffs. The door of the coupe was
opened few inches and the man from
the cab looked in. Then he went back
to the cab and obtained a brief case
which he gave to the eFmen in the coupe.
The coupe left hurriedly and the CAB
was driven east toward Chicago"
She added she could identify the
passenger in the cab, as well as the
driver.
While she was telling her story
Factor was recuperating and 240 OF.
ficers were searching various parts OF
Cook County for the farm house where,
he said, he was held prisoner and
threatened with death by the kidnap-
ers. He admitted that S50000 was
paid, but reports persisted that this
was only part of the ransom, estimated
in some quarters as high as S20O,O00.
Others Reported in Danger.
The Herald and Examiner today said
three wealthy sportsren have peen
marked for kidnapping by the gang that
abducted Factor.
The men named by the Herald and
Examiner as the next victims are: John
D. Hertz, former president OF the Yel-
low Cab Co.; Otto Lehman, son OF a
department store founder, and Warren
Wright former president Of the Lincoln
Park Board.
The newspaper said Federal under
cover men were rushed to the Arlington
Park Race Track, where all three main
tain stables and are frequent visitors,
after Government agents had talked
with Factor yesterday concerning his
experiences. 1t was said the kidnapings
would be attempted at the track.

crime was evading the income tax.
1t is common knowledge that this man had
revenue in good years not far from $3.50 600. .0oo

1t is the experience Of this writer that the crook
who saves 20 per cent Of his gross revenue is
a fortunate crook. No crook operates without
protection If he operates with success The cost
of that protection is invariably his largest indi-
vidual item of operating cost. My guess would
be that it will average 10 per cent Of the gross.

Roasting
7 he
7 urkey
BY The Merry Cook.

To those for whom the prepa-
ration Of traditional Thanks
giving dinner holds no terrors,
roasting the turkey is just an
other routine task.
But to those for whom the
festive occasion is a complete
innovation in the matter of tur-
key-roasting, there are probably
number of important prob
lens waiting to be solved.
For these, and also with the
possibility in mind that even the
experienced might add to their
wonted success, the following in
Structions are offered:
SINCE the turkey the butcher
has already prepared it for
stuffing), wash it well, but do
not let it stand in water. Re-
move the pinfeathers very care
fully and completely, and cut
the neck close to the body, leav-
ing the skin on. Wash the in
side with warm water to which
you've added a teaspoon of soda.
Sprinkle the inside with salt
and pepper, stuff and sew it to-
gether, using a large needle and
white twine.
Stuffings are a matter of
choice and it is assumed that
this phase has been decided.
This article is concerned with
the roasting of the turkey.
Fasten the skin Of the neck
down over the back with skew
erS or string. Fold the wings
under and tie the legs close to
the body. Sprinkle with salt
and pepper, and rub with a
mixture of equal parts Of but
ter and flour, creamed together.
In the Oven
Place on the side in a roast
ing pan and put in a hot oven
(450 degrees F) until slightly
brown, then reduce the heat to
$50 degrees F. and bake about
three hours for a 12-pound tur-
key.
Turn the bird while brown
ing and while finishing the bak-
ing. When done, the turkey
should be an even golden brown
on all sides.
Now remove the turkey to a
hot platter. Pour off the excess
fat and add an equal amount of
flour to the fat remaining in the
pan. For each two tablespoons
of flour added, stir in one cup
of cold water. Place over the
fire and cook until the boiling
point is reached, stirring con-
stantly.
The gibletS should be cooked
by themselves, chopped fine and
added to the gravy.
About Basting
If you have a double roaster,
the baSting will automatically
take care of itself. If the turkey
is roasted in an open pan, be-
gin the basting process as soon
as the flour and butter covering
has been nicely Drowned.
A cup of water will be about
right for basting, with pure
liquid added if this cooks away.
Basic every Is minutes with
the liquid in the pan.
For a crisp Drowned surface,
you may dredge the turkey with
a second coating of flour about
an hour before it is to be served.
Carefully remove all strings
and skewerS before the roast
reaches the table.

ing the emotion. And few emo
tions are so dependent upon
early environment and training
for development.
"His" Place
One of the common situa-
tions which stimulates jealousy
is the birth of another child.
The older one, heretofore the
oenter of his small world, sud-
denly finds himself ousted. A
stranger occupies his place in
the sun. A stranger he is
supposed to love.
Wise parents will prevent the
situation from developing and
not depend on checking it after
wards. The anticipated arrival
of the new little brother or sis
ter should never be kept a secret
from the older child.
Handled wisely the older one
will share in the family'S JOY
over the coming event. And
baby will be greeted as a new
and delightful addition to his
world. ...f
Cooperation
Let the older child help you
select the baby's little things.
Let him or her help arrange
the tiny bed and discuss at
length with him the choice of
. name for the newcomer. It
is to be his "little brother or
sister" and what does he want
to call it? Accept his suggeS-
lions seriously.
Probably the name will be
impossible but you can gently
steer him toward the one you
yourself have selected. But
manage if possible to convince
him the name was his own
selection.
Develop his sense of reSpon-
Sibil1ty toward the newcomer.
He Is the older, he must teach
the baby how TO be q 'good
