anarchist known as Peter the
Painter"
At ten o'clock on the morning
of January 3, Home Secretary
Churchill, chief authority.-of all
the police of the country, Che
tells the whole thrilling story in
his book. amid These StormsD
was surprised by an urgent
knocking at the door of his bath
room. He hastened to the tele-
phone. These words came over
the wire:
1.-THE anarchists who murder
ed the police have been sur
rounded in a house in the East
End-No. 100 Sidney Street, and
are firing on the police with
automatic pistols. They have
shot one man and appear to
have plenty of ammunition.
Authority is requested to send
for troops to arrest or kill them"
Duty, sharpened by curiosity,
sent Churchill tearing toward
Sidney Street in a fast motor
car.
From both sides of the street,
from the street itself, and from
numerous windows, policemen
and other persons were firing
rifles, pistols and shotguns with
increasing frequency at the
house which sheltered the des-
peradoeS.
In the meantime a search was
made in the foundries of the
neighborhood for a steel plate
big enough to shield a direct
charge. But before the rush
could be ordered a wisp of smoke
went curling up from a shat
tered window Of the beSieged
house.
AS the fire attacked them
from above, the anarchists in
the house descended floor by
floor, keeping up their fire as
they retreated toward the street
level. Bullets continued to sing
through the air and spat against
the brickwork of nearby build
ingS.
The flames were now begin
ming to invade the ground floor
of the doomed house.
More minutes passed in in
tense excitement as the flames
invaded and swept the whole
ground floor. At last it became
certain that the human fiendS
had periShed to the last man.
Suddenly, upon spontaneous
impulse which led everyone into
the open, a police inspector
walked quickly to the door and
kicked it open. In the cooling
debris of the fire was found
two charred bodies, one dead
from a bullet, the other ap-
parently Suffocated by smoke.
Both had been members of the
gang of Peter the Painter, but
Of the anarchist leader himself
not q trace was ever found.

HaWaii's Future Puzzling
By James 7. Williams, Jr.

Whether President Roose-
velt's visit to the Hawaiian
ISlands-the first time a Presi-
dent Of the United States has
set a foot on that Territory
assumes national Importance
will depend upon the program
he formulates for needful
changes in the administration
of its territorial government.
In the Joint Resolution of
July 7, 1898, providing for an
nexing the Hawaiian Islands
to the United States it was pro-
vided:
until Congress shall provide
for the government of such
islands all the civil, judicial,
and military powers exercised
by the officers of the existing
government in said islands
shall be vested in such person
or persons as the President of
the United States shall direct;
and the President shall have
power to remove said officers
and fill the vacancies so Oc.
caSiOned."
And later in the same sec.
ton it was provided:
"The President shall appoint
five commissioners, at least
two Of whom shall be residents
Of the Hawaiian Islands, who
shall, as soon as reasonably
practicable, recommend to Con-
greSS such legislation concern
ing the Hawaiian Islands as
they shall deem necessary or
proper"
On April 80, 1900, the Presi-
dent-Mr. McKinley-approved
An Act to provide a Govern
ment for the Territory of
Hawaii"
This made Hawaii a Territory,
following very much the form
Of the later territorial govern
mentS, which had been estab-
liShed for those territories of
the United States inhabited in
great part by people homogene-
GUS with the people of the older
States of the Union.
This meant that in so far as
the future of Hawaii was con-
cerned the Government of the
United States was through with
it until the day should arrive
when it would be admitted as
a State of the Union. No pro-
vision was made giving an eX-
ecutive department of the
United States the responsibility
of overlooking the affairs of
Hawaii and of reporting to Con-
gresS the direction and results
of its development under the
American flag.
Hawaii has since been made
an exceedingly wealthy group
of islands by the heavy duties
in United States tariff laws
which have protected the Ha-
waiian market against compe-
tition With the chief produce Of
the Territory.

A survey of English news
papers reveals that some Eng
lish editors found it difficult to
understand why our Federal
agents laid a trap for Dillinger
and shot him down without
warning.
"A serious defect in the Amer
ican criminal judicial system.
Not a matter for excessive self
congratulation among Ameri-
can authorities.
Such was the tone of numer-
Gus editorials. Johnny Bulls
memory must be a bit short.
There was an occasion, and a
very bloody one, when the Lon-
don police trapped a band Of
criminals and not only fired
enough bullets at them to kill
all the criminals in England,
but fired the house they lurked
in.
The story is a thriller. At
half-past ten on the night of
December 16, 1910, a Mr.. Isen-
stein, owner of a fancy-goods
shop in Houndsditch, in Lon
don, became alarmed by mys-
teriouS rappingS at the back of
- his premises. They came evil
IDENTIFY, from the house next
door. Mr.. IsenStein sent for
the police.
A party of six officers and
constables arrived. Two were
posted at the rear of the house,
and the sergeant, followed by
three others, went to the door
and knocked, pushed the door
open and entered a gas-lighted
room. There seemed no reason
for precautions. It was an
ordinary police inquiry.
Suddenly a door was flung
open, a pistol shot cracked
and the sergeant fell in the
doorway. Through that door a
mans hand, with a long auto
matte pistol, appeared. Shot
after shot barked from the
automatic. In a few seconds
all four conStables lay dead.
There remained only Chief
Constable Choate, unarmed
and already wounded.
UnheSitatingly he grappled
with the assassin, and in spite
Of being shot twice more in
the body, was still holding him
when he was shot again from
behind and fell dying from
IL separate wounds.
The gang of murdererS shook
off the pursuit of the sixth
policeman at the rear of the
house and disappeared into the
darkness and movement of
London by night, leaving, for
the moment, neither trace nor
clue.
Immediately, the London po-
lice realized that they were
facing a class of crime and a
type of criminal which had
been unknown in England for
generations.

Men, Money, Food
England Wanted and Got Them

Lloyd George, quoting extracts from his memoirs as
Premier during the war; says that President Wilson
knew all about the "secret agreements when Balfour
here in 1917 pleading for food munitions, money
and men,
Intelligent Britishers sent here to make Uncle Sam
finance Britain cleared to force the pace Britain was
told that the work of extracting ood munitions money
and men, must be done cautiously because the Amer
can people still feels that England is the England of
the War of Independence"
The British mission told to alay this feeling of
ancient resentment and 1.-THE prosperity and wealth they
observed in America flabbergasted' the Visitors
If those able money extracting visitors should return
they would not be "flabbergasted in the same way
this time
They would not find the American people thinking
about the against King George of the eighteenth
century Hafangry half amused public feeling here
now has to do with the willingness of England to re-
pudate her debts and put the highly and properly re-
specd King George Of THIS century in the position of
being international welcher something that he would
not allow if he were real King instead of Royal
Puppet.
Lloyd Georges memoirs say that when Woodrow
Wilson said he did not know about certain secret under
standings during the (when Bafour was extracting
from the u. S. A. the needed 'men money, food and
munitions') J. President Wilson's statement was "pal
pabe Misrepresentation of the true facts In the days
when President Wilson making himself so useful
to England, with United States and money, Lloyd
George would not have questioned the Presidents
veracity quite so frankly.

Made a Territory
The primary justification for
the annexation of Hawaii to
the United States was to make
it an outpost in the Pacific for
the defense of the United
States. The reasons were mill
tary. Before the joint resolu-
ton was adopted which pro-
vided for annexation two ap-
propriations had been passed
by Congress for the improve
ment of Pearl Harbor. And to-
day the largest investment of
the Government of the United
States in Hawaii is in the
military and naval establish"
mentS of the United States in
chat territory.
But Hawaii today. as the
President must have seen, al
though an outpost in the Pa
cific for the defense of the
United States, is largely and in
creasingly an Asiatic commu-
nifty. If, in an emergency, an
American commander in Hawaii
should say, "They shall not

More LIBERALIZATION

It is strange that whenever it discovered that Fed
era agency and local agency encroachng upon each
other in the handling of any District activity it should be
suggested Immediately that the local agency withdraw
Just now it being called to the attention of the pub
lie that both Federal and local offices interested in
the matter of providing and operating recreationa fac
ties for the residents of the city
At once the suggestion made that the whole matter
of Fairgrounds and allied interests be turned the
Federal offices
Apparently the reason for the liberalization of the
citys Fairgrounds and swimming pools is that the Fed
era has large interest in the park system
notably the larger parks and has provided some very
fine play fields. ~
No one wishes detract from the services which Fed
er agencies have rendered the of play the Dis
trict
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND IT SHOULD BE
BORNE IN MIND THAT THE LOCAL PLAYGROUND
DEPARTMENT AND THE COMMUNITY CENTER
DEPARTMENT HAVE BEEN DOING AND ARE DO
ING EXCELLENT WORK AMONG THE CHILDREN
AND ADULTS OF THE CITY.
Why then is not just reasonable to suggest that
all of the park and playground activities be turned over
to the local government?
After ALL the residents of the District pay for the Oper
alton of the play spaces whether they are run by the
Federal or local government
THE PRELIMINARY FINDING OF A SO-CALLED
RECREATIONAL EXPERT TO THE EFFECT THAT
ALL OF THE PLAY FACILITIES MIGHT WELL BE
BROUGHT UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE
NATIONAL PARK SERVICE IS NOT AT ALL SUR
PRISING. HE WAS BROUGHT HERE BY FED
ERAL AGENCY, AND IT IS ONLY NATURAL THAT
HE SHOULD RECOMMEND THE EXTENSION OF
AUTHORITY OF THE FEDERAL OFFICE.
The National Park Service has very important field
in Washington It should devote its attention to that
field.
That field however, does not embrace the operation of
school Fairgrounds municipal Fairgrounds and similar
enterprises
The District has Of the results of operation
of local play facilities by Federal agencies of which it
is not proud
It has these Federal agencies operate swimming
pools built and paid for by local taxpayers and then
fuse to permit children, on the hottest days. to
utilize the pools for which their parents paid unless the
children could pay fee.
There are elements in the park and play facility sua
ton which no doubt should be left to the Of Federal
agencies.
BUT THERE ARE OTHER JUST AS IMPORTANT
ELEMENTS WHICH ARE PURELY LOCAL AND
WHICH CAN BETTER BE HANDLED BY LOCAL
MEN AND WOMEN RESPONSIBLE TO LOCAL

Here is a picture which will un-

what was distasteful to many in its
predecessors-war scenes. Bellamy
has the principal role and handles it
exceedingly WELL Gloria Stuart
makes an attractive heroine. Pat
O'Brien as the second lead has very
good part and is his usual self, which
is always interesting. The air stuff
is unexcelled. Scenes of a plane fly
ing through hanger, flying through
clouds, and Of several crashes are ex-
pertly filmed, sustaining the interest
in the story Throughout. The climax.
where O'Brien lands a plane in a
spot, supposedly unfit to land a
plane, and then takes off again bare
" missing the mountains and flies
back to the airport with a mashed
wing and broken landing gear is
breath taking. The flying scenes are
excellently done.

Fun and Excitement
In Jungle Picture
Featuring Claudette Colbert)


The superb showmanship OF Cecil
B. DeMllle is once more made mani
fest in his latest Paramount picture,
-Four Frightened People," which is
now playing at the Paramount Theat-
er.
This picture, which repeats the sue
cess OF his memorable Male and Fe-
male OF several years ago, is one Of
the most colorful pieces Of screen en-
tertainment that it has been our pleas
ure to see for many a month.
Against a background of the most
amazing jungle scenery ever brought
to the screen, the story details the
adventures Of four highly cultured
people. two women and two men, who
are forced to escape from Dutch
steamer when bubonic plague breaks
out. Lost for months in a Malay jung
lie. they turn to primitive manners
and habits. The transformation of
a prim little school teacher into q
beautiful jungle creature over whom
the men fight provides some highly
novel situations.
This latter role played by Claudette
Colbert is the most outstanding ach.
ievement Of her career and more than
justifies her elevation to stardom. Her
bert Marshall and William Gargan, in
contrasting roles, enhance the story
with finely drawn portrayals.
