the cooperation Of both the public
and legitimate brokers to put them
where they belong-behind the
bars Of a federal prison.
With unquestioned superior
ability as statesmen, with thousands
Of dollars to spend on elaborate
offices, long distance telephone
calls and kilograms. and an indirect
system Of payoff, the Swindlers
offer one Of the most serious men
aces to law enforcement In the
country today"
Most Of the victims. Cummings
said. are doctors, lawyers, profess
sors and businessmen.
Actually" he said, these men
are convinced they have lost their
money in a legitimate investment.
Usually they are afraid to COM
plain to federal officers because
these smooth racketeers always
have their victEns in debt after
they have cleaned them"
Cummings cited the recent con-
viction Of is men and a woman in
Shreveport, La, as a part Of a ma
tional chain Of bucketShop opera
tors.
This gang" the attorney gen.
eral said, operated in Kansas City,
Oklahoma City. Houston, Shreve-
port, Fort Worth. New Orleans and
Dallas for brief periods before fed
eral officials caught up with them.
I'm each place they would S a
new firm name. They knew all the
inside details Of the stock and bond
business. They hired some local
men Of good reputation as a front,
They spent thousands OF dollars on
telephone calls and kilograms and
paid their bills as long as 1t was
profitable TO operate.
"One Of the letters. after his
conviction, told representatives OF
the department Of justice that
they took between three and four
million dollars out Of Kansas City
before moving to Oklahoma City,
where thfE system netted a quarter
OF a million, although this city
had been worked before by a SIM

Sought by Group
Of Governments
Attorneys

SHERMAN, June 25.-tR)- The
Bankbead cotton law was under the
fire Of Texas ginners Tuesday as

ment Of the measure on the grounds

declared 'the Bankhead act was an
attempt on the part Of congress to
regulate cotton ginning in Texas

ment to the constitution"

fifth amendment because the gin
ne is required to arrange for bond,
purchase bale tags and other forms
which deprive him Of his property
without due process Of law"

that ginners were unpaid enforcers
OF the measure, and testimony was
offered purportink to show that it
cost each Texas gin approximately
S487.84 to comply with the Bank
bead act during 1884.

rotary Of the Texas Ginners ASso-
ication testified that each Texas
ginner was put to the expense Of ap-
proximately $487.84 last year because

amount Of detail In complying with
provisions Of the act.

ADMIRALTY CASE. IS PRESENTED AT. KETCH|KAN TERM
Court Returns Here on Aleutian After Session
 in First City

Federal Judge George F.. Alex ander and Assistant District Attor- ney George w. F'olta returned on the Aleutian from Ketchikan where they have been in connection with the court term. Robert Coughlin, Clerk of Court, and John Newman, court reporter, returned yesterday by plane.
 The Tahoma ship case heard at the Ketchikan term was taken un- der advisement by the court and briefs are to be filed in two weeks. The action is the United States against the Tahoma, which, of Am erican registry, is alleged by the government to be owned by Can adians, who are avoiding payment of duty by such an arrangement. The defendants contend they are operating the ship merely as credi- tors and not as owners.
 The case of A. Starklof of Craig was decided in favor of the govern ment. Starklof pleaded guilty in Commissioners Court at Craig to catching more than the bag limit of beaver and was found guilty of fail ing to keep proper records in con- nection with fur transactions. He was given five months sentence on the first count and appealed the second. It was this appeal that was denied by Judge Alexander. Stark lof announced intention of carrying the case to the Circuit Court of Ap- peals, it is reported.
 The case of the Citizens Light and Power Company against the City of Ketchikan, scheduled to come up, has been settled out of court and Harry G. Mccain, Ket- chikan Councilman, and G. F. Van Glider, City Clerk, left Ketchikan yesterday on the Yukon for Minne- apolis where transfer of the light company will be made to the city l for S960,000.

 Obtain Fingerprints
 It is advisable to teach children at the earliest possible age to give clear answers when asked to tell their name Many children who run away or get lost could be returned to their homes much sooner if they were able to give their own and their parents name, their address and home telephone number.
 Cooperation between home and school would be helpful. When the teacher gets a phone message ask ing that child be sent home it is wise to wait few minutes and call the child's home to check on the genuineness of the request.
 Footprints and fingerprints of in- fants, if not made as matter of routine by the hospital after birth, should be obtained by the parents.
 Preventive Work
 Parents will also be working for the protection of their children if they take an active interest in the whole question of law enforcement and strive to promote high stand ards of public administration.
 Preventative work, -based on con- structive activities for young people and intelligent treatment of youth full delinquents are, in the last analy- sis, among the most effective means of wiping out crime and racketeer- ing.
