LAUNCH WAR
UPON CRIME
Washington Conference Hears
Nations Criminal Toll Given
By Expert

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. U.P)-
A report to the national crime con-
ference today that more than ,300,-
900 serious crimes are committed
in the nation yearly spurred deter
mination of delegates TO unite fed
eral, state and local forces in an
unrelenting offensive against the
underworld.
AS the conference approached its
close, delegates seem agreed that
the chief need was a powerful in
tegrating force to bring all agencies
into closer cooperation and keep
them on their toes. Toward this
end, they expected to recommend
formation of a national institute
of criminology and annual confer
enceS of law enforcement officials.
Extent of the country IS crime
problem was brought out by Thors-
tein Sellin, University of Pennsyl-
vania authority on criminal statis-
tics. In 1888, he said, 100000 SER
iouS crimes were known to police
but in only three -fourths of them
was anyone brought to justice.
Harry j. Anslinger, commission
er of narcotics, who directed round
up of nearly 800 suspects in ma
tionwide raids, called for aid of To-
cal police in fighting the illicit mar
cotic traffic.
The traffic could be eliminated
almost entirely, he said. ii police
worked in perfect coordination with
federal agents.
Holding that final responsibility
for suppression of crime rests with
the states, Henry Toll, Denver, dis
rector of the American Legislators
association, urged that legislatures
convening next month overhaul
state statutes. He said weaknesses
in existing laws contributed direct
ly to these causes of crime:
/. Ill adjusted penalties.
2. A rickety governmental ma
chine.
g. Lack of a state constabulary.
4. Poor cooperation between the
states.
5. Clumsy court systems.
6. Incompetent and dishonest
governmental officials
7. The wretched character of
many jails and prisons which in
reality are training schools for
crime.

BY HOBART c. MONTEE

Copyright, 1894, BY United Press)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. - Leg
islation designed to take the profit
out Of war, for which President
Roosevelt set up special commit
tee yesterday, has been drafted
for nearly two years, the United
Press learned today.
The legislation was drafted by
the war policies commission set up
by former President Hoover and
has formal approval OF the war and
navy departments. II awaits only
a sponsor TO bring it actively be-
fore congress.

ed:

gency, by the United States.

5. A bill creating an administra-
tion of war trade.

The plan contained drafts of
three proposed presidential procla-
nations setting up agencies each
to be headed by an administrator,
to execute these laws, and TO pro-
hibit export of arms, machinery, or
basic commodities which the gov
ernment might consider necessary
for prosecution of the war.
These commodities ranged from
corundum, emery and nitric acid
to guttapercha and wool.
President Roosevelt IS action in
moving suddenly to take up the
long dormant war profits question
surprised many.
His action was criticized by mem
berS of the Nye senate munitions
committee. 1t was praised by the
war and navy departments as a
timely move to carry out the long
dreamed-of war plan for industrial
mobilization.
BY some, the President IS action

Holding Suspect
In Old Mystery

NEW YORK, Dec. 13 UP) - A
suspect in the mysterious disap-
pearance of Grace Budd, who
vanished June %, 1923, was held at
police headquarters today. After
two hours of questioning, a group
of detectives left to follow clues
said to have been supplied by the
suspect.
Although details of the latest re-
vival of the case were guarded, 1t
was understood that anonymous
letters to Mrs. Budd at her home in
Brooklyn within the past two weeks
led to arrest of the suspect.
Grace was 10 when she left home
with an elderly man who had come
to the Budd home ostensibly to
offer job to one of the Budd boys
on farm in New Jersey. The Sld-
est Budd boy, Edward, had adver-
tised for a position.
An unconfirmed rumor said the
police had information which might
lead to discovery of the girl or her
body.

SIR CALAHAD'
EAPLANNED
BY KENNAMER

TULSA, Okla, Dec 13. UP)--
The defense of Philip Kennamer
when he faces trial on a first de-
gree murder charge next month
will depict him as a chivalrous
youth who killed John Gorrell in
an effort to protect Miss Virginia
Wilcox, whom he "loved dearly" "
it was indicated today.
Kennamer, 19-year-old son of a
federal district judge, in an inter-
view last night, charged Gorrell,
dental student, planned to extort
$4,000 from H. F. Wilcox, ST., and
threatened to kidnap Miss Wilcox
if the money was not paid.
81 learned about his plans and
took what steps I could to protect
Miss Wilcox,' Kennamer said. 81
care more for Miss Wilcox than I
ever cared for anyone, but she does
not reciprocate the feeling.'
Kennamer also asserted Sidney
Born, 10, found dying Sunday with
a bullet wound in his head, was
slain and was not a suicide as po-
lice say.
"Sidney was my friend and
would have been one of my chief
witnesses, Kennamer said. "He
was killed by friends of Gorrell, or
by someone hired by them, because
through me he knew too much
about them and the petty hijack-
ings, in which they had engaged. 1"
Kennamer named three youths
he suspected in the Born case, but
Dixie Gilmore, assistant prosecut-
ing attorney, said he would take no
action on the charge at this time.

Wierd Funeral Is
 Held At Chicago
 Ashanti Dancer

CHICAGO = While the body of Kosi Appiah, and Ashanti dancer at the Worlds Fair, lies in Burr Oak Cemetary, his burial robe, some of his hair and his toe nails are being sent to Africa for the primitive fun eral rites in his homeland.
 For only then after weird cere. monies will his spirit have returned home to abide among his kin, ac- cording to the Ashanti belief. It was a belief of this sort tha prompted Appiah's people to send the heart oi David Livingstone back to Scotland for true" burial.
 2 : At the funeral ceremonies hereiat tended by representatives of many sects, the strange rites of the Ash anti people were adhered. to. Kosi Appiah was one of the Duke Kwesi 'Kuntu's Gold Coast dancers appear ing in ceremonial dances at the Worlds Fair. It was aat Duke Kun tu's. home that the ceremonial rites were, held.
 Across the casket lay a gold head ed scepter; a symbolic serpent upon a tripod was placed at it's foot.
 After the representatives of other
The Nome daily nugget., 1934-12-08

sects had spoken at the behest of Duke Kuntu he and his companions proceeded to speak to the departed in low tones = tones that left no doubt with the listeners that the speakers firmly believed Kosi Ap- piah heard them.
 Then, as each of the n1ourners pass ed the bier, Duke Kuntu poured the ceremonial water from a glass upon the floor and repeated individually the names of the mourners.
 AS the final act song was offer ed in the Ashanti tongue while all present stood up. A white Chicago lawyer, seeming strangely foreign to the group, was standing shoulder to shoulder with a South African chief tain.
 Appiah's comrades pressed hand kerchiefs to their tear-moistened eyes. They could not display their greif in any other way. In Africa there would have been loud wailing and moaning, but here they had been cautioned to hold their greif under control.
