to the uniting of families and
in many ways aid in the main
tenance of law and order.
Character Is Basis
Juvenile cOurtS-like other
cOurts-depend in part for their
success upon the character Of
the judges. There have been in
various places judges who ware
wholly incompetent to deal with
the problems of youth, and those
that are connected with proper
Interpretation of the laws re-
specting parents and children!
Some judges have been harsh
and cruel, lacking in sympathy
for children and lacking in toll
erance for the exuberance Of the
young; they have been too puri-
tanical and, in some instances,
entirely too rigid in their inter
pretati0nS Of the law and too
harsh in imposing restraints and
penalties.
TN my opinion there is no
moro important position in our
communities than that Of ju-
venile judge. The Judge has to
do as I have stated with the
young and the rising genera
ton; they can make dr mar the
characters and lives of hundreds,
If not thousands, of young per.

21,831 MILLION
DEBT TURNOVER
BY International News Service

Uncle Sans public debt turn
over for the year ending January
80 will amount to more than
1881 million dollars.
That will represent new issues
of about 1881 millions and re-
tirements of 1000 millions, ac-
cording to figures available at the
Treasury today.
With the exception of the peak
borrowing year of 1919, there have
been no public debt operations
that remotely compared with the
colossal borrowing of 1884 when
the Government is throwing every
thing into the drive to Danish de-
preston.
Before the end of the year the
Treasury will be called upon to
refund nearly 2,093 millions IN
maturing obligations and in addl-
ton a large amount of bills will be
marketed before June 80. 1t was
estimated that to finance the re-
covery program about 1000 mil
lions in new money would be
called for by the Treasury.
BY the end of the year the
debt was expected to reach $4,000
millions, and by June 30, 1885,
$4,000 millions, exceeding the war
time peak of August 81, 1919, by
$500 millions.

URGES LETTING
POLICE DRINK

Major Ernest w. Brown, police
superintendent, a teetotaler him
self, does not agree with the
Takoma Park Citizens Association
concerning it's resolution passed
last night opposing the right of
policemen to drink while off duty.
He said today:
81 feel that changes in police
regulations prohibiting drinking
while on duty, and fOrbidding
policemen from becoming in
tOxicated at, any time. are am
pie safeguards.
''It is the legal right of any
citizen to drink liquor, although
the law provides a penalty for
all who get drunk.
Policemen when they are
off duty shall have the right
to exercise their personal pref
erences in this respect, as long
as they are moderate in their
drinking"
Major Brown remarked that a
regulation prohibiting policemen
from drinking while off duty
would be extremely hard to en-
force and would involve taking a
view of the problem presented by
the new liquor laws which would
not be a very broad one"

DEATH STORY
Accusation Of Dying Surgeon
Admitted by Court, and

COURT ROOM, GREENWOOD,
Miss, Feb. 6 G.N.S).-Dr. Henry
Kennedy, brother of DR.. j. Pres
ton Kennedy, eminent surgeon,
took the stand for a second time
today in the sensational whisky
highball murder" trial Of Df.
Sarah Ruth Dean to tell a Delta
jury of the accusation of murder
Kennedy hurled at his comely
medical associate as he lay dying
of mercury poison.
Judge S. F. Davis allowed ad-
mission of the purported DEATH
bed declaration after tWo-hour
battle.
The defense of DR., Dean strove
desperately to prevent the jury
from hearing the deathbed accu-
Sation.
High Court Cited
Defense Attorney A. F. Gardner
cited a United States Supreme
Court reversal of the conviction
of DIR. Charles Shepard in the
poison death of his wife in an
effort to bar the statement on the
contention that it is privileged
communication"
Gardner declared that the legal
points and charges of the two
cases were closely parallel.
Sheperd's conviction resulted
from his wife's deathbed declara-
ton that "Dr. Shepard has poiS-
oned me-" Gardner said.
Called "Opinion Only"
Mrs. Shepard died of mercu1ial
poison just as the State contends
DR.. Kennedy met his death here
last fall as the climax of an al
legged illicit romance with the
woman physician.
But, Gardner said, the Supreme
Court reversed the lower court,
ruling the dying accusation was
incompetent. He said:
''The defense believes tho
statement was not given in ex-
tremis, and hence is only an ex.

n new cl1OIG IO OUCdAA p1CoA'
Dental pardon for prohibition
law violators in Federal prisons
was inaugurated today as re-
suit of the Supreme Courts
ruling that all pending cases
were wiped out by repeal.
The action Of the high court
resulted in saving thousands
from prison, and the logical next
step is to free the thousands
already in prison for the same
offenSe.
Mcleod Active
Representative Clarence Nc
Leod (RO of Michigan, who has
pending in Congress a resolution
calling upon the President to
pardon prohibition law violators,
is going to renew his efforts. He
said:
eve have an unusual Situa-
tiOn. The Supreme Court held
that all cases where sentences
have not been executed, in
Guiding cases on appeal. are
ended as a result of repeal Of
the Eighteenth Amendment.
Those in prison or jails are not
affected.
thus, a wealthy prohibition
law viOlatOr who delayed his
sentence for a year or two un-
til repeal came, is freed, while
the poor man who could not
delay his case by appeal went
to prison.
"There are doubtless many
cases where accused viOlatOrS
reSOrted to appeal becauS. they
saw repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment coming. They
should not be favored over
those who could not follow
that course.
JUSTICE INVOLVED
every element Of justice-Of
fairness for the poor as we'll as
for the rich-is in favor of ex.
tension of clemency to those
in prison."
MCLEOD will go before the House
Judiciary Committee asking ac-
ton on his resolution so Congress
can request Mr.. Roosevelt to act.
Sanford Bates, superintendent
of Federal prisons, in testimony
before the House Appropriations
Committee, said that 27.1 per cent
of all inmates of Federal prisons,
reformatories, institutions and
jails are there for prohibition law
violations.
OF the total in prisons on No
vember Is, 1888, there were 3,764
in for prohibition violations.
1880 Affected
BY its decision, the Supreme
Court wiped out 1880 cases
against alleged prohibition viola
tors, many of whom have been
convicted and have appealed.
The high court held that repeal
of the Eighteenth Amendment
abrogated the Volstead law and
rendered it null in so far as it con-
flicted with the new repeal amend,
ment, even though it still is on
the statute books.

BANKS WARNED
J. s. MAY ENTER
LOANF FIELD
R. F. C. Head Scores Failure of
Private Institutions to
Back Recovery
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
By international News Service


The Administration is becoming
increasingly impatient with the
timidity of private bankers, and
in some cases their singular un-
willingness, to get behind the
national relovery program.
The bankers were given a
sharply worded warning today by
Jesse H. Jones, chairman Of the
RFC, that unless they resume
their normal function Of financ-
ing business, the Federal Govern
ment is going deeper and deeper
into the banking businss because
of sheer necessity.
U. S. May Supplant Banks
Jones' speech before the New
York State Bankers Association
was a deliberate notice to the
commercial bankers that they are
not pulling their oar in the re-
covery boat, and that unless they
are prepared to do so the Gov
ernment has no alternative but to
assume their place. Jones said:
"The question is, will our
banking be continued in private
hands, or Of necessity be sup
planted by the Government?
The answer is with yOu-the
bankers.
"The common cry almost
everywhere is that banks are
not lending. Your Representa-
tives in Congress continually
get it, and there is a persistent
demand upon them to author
ize the RFC to make direct
loans. Unless deserving borrow
ers can get credit at the banks,
you need not be surprised IL
Congress yields to this pres
sure"
Complaints Flood Capital
Washington is being deluged
with complaints that commercial
credit is almost impossible to
obtain except on well-night i'm
possible terms.
Already plans are we'll advanced
for the Government to set up in
the DISTRICT of Columbia Fed
eral credit bank to finance for
eign trade.
One high Administration Of
ficial said
"The fact is, commercial
banking as we used to know it
has virtually broken down in
this country. The banks are
bulging with money, but the
bankers won't lend it. The
result is slowing up of the
whole recovery program"

Beck, who formerly served as

FAMILY DOCTOR
SAYS HERR MIND
WAS WEAK
JeaIousies, Fear, and Money
From Insurance Cited as
Possible Motives

INDIANA POLLS, Feb. g.
0N.SD D.-Insanity is expected to
be the defense of Mrs. Neoma
Saunders, frail invalid widow held
with three others in the $40 MUIR
der of her husband, Gaylord v.
Saunders, former Methodist min
lister Of Wabash, Prosecutor Her
bert e. Wilson, of Marion County,
indicated here today.
The prosecutor took cognizance
Of the statement of the Saunders
family physician at Wabash, DR..
L. B. Rhamy reporting that Mrs.
Saunders had talked of poisoning
or shooting her husband when the
physician was summoned to the
manse the night of January 10
to treat the pastor for intoxica-
ton and was told the pastor had
beaten up both his wife and her
nurse, Mrs. Mabel Blake, and had
made two suicide attempts. The
physician expressed his opinion
that Saunders had been insane.
Prosecutor Wilson said today:
mo woman would tell her
family physician she intended
to remove her husband by pol
son or by shooting unless her
mind was weakened"
JeaIousies Hinted
The physicians st tie m n t
thrust the "fear" motive into the
foreground agai ntoday. Abnormal
affections and jealousies and per-
haps insurance money also were
believed to have contributed TO
the development of the murder
conspiracy. DR.. Rhamy said:
Both women were in a
highly nervous state when
called at the manse. Mrs.
Saunders talked of doing away
with her husband by poisoning
or shooting. / reprimanded her
severely. I was convinced, how
ever, the minister was insane.
I reported the whole affair to
Circuit Judge Frank o. Switzer
the next day, suggesting some
action be taken to place the
pastor in an institution for
treatment"
DR.. Rhamy said he had been
told Saunders had tried to COM
nit suicide by holding his head
under water in a bathtub.
Feared for Her Sons
Mrs. Saunders in her confession
said that, realizing her husband
was going insane, she feared for
her life and for her sons, Billy.
10, and Jimmie, 13. She claimed
Saunders had threatened them.
Mrs. Saunters confessed she
paid $40 to Ted Mathers, 18, to
do away with her husband.
Young Mathers is held as the
trigger-man in the Staying, and
his pal, Masil Roe. 10, as the
driver of the car in which saun-
ders' body was found.
Some concern was felt by police
today over the physical condi-
ton of Mrs. Saunders and young
Nsathers. The widow had tubercu-
losis for more than a year and
was racked by coughs and burn
ing with fever today. Mathers
has heart disease.
Meanwhile from Wabash came
the report, with the probating of
Saunders will. that he carried
$4,000 insurance.
Prosecutor Wilson said today
he was disinclined to think that
the insurance money played any
large part in the murder plot.
Prosecutor Wilson planned to
present the case against the four
principals to the Marion county
grand jury tomorrow.
