Most newspaper men swear by Dom Bvrne's
writings back in the gay tWenties when Bvrne
was alive, his books were best sellers all along.
The voluble Irishman had the native Gaelic's
art IN telling story and he knew how to make
use of the romantic traditions of the Irish coun-
tryslde. Aside from that, his descriptive ability
was superb.
Who for instance can forget "Messer Marco
Polo" or "Hangman's House? Or that great
fantasy, Saul of TarsuS"?
Many OF the stories in "a Daughter of the

of, but the vitality of the great Irishmen is in

Mr. Zweig goes little deeper into the be-

TINE famed Harry Hansen of First Reader"
Il fame in the New York World-Telegram re-
cites this week an amusing story concerning
Christopher Morley, the gentleman of letters
who recently caught o. o. Mcintyre while try
ing to steal home.
The Hansen story relates how Christopher
had great time all by his lonesome when the
Normandie arrived in New York on its maiden
voyage. Chris is literary mariner having been
strongly influenced in his youth by Joseph
Conrad.
Morley" says Mr.. Hansen, was on the tug
boat, Alice NJ. Moran. which had charge of all
the tugboatS attending the berthing of the Nor
mandie AS the Alice chugged up to the side of
the monster, Mr.. Morley esped a French lads
head in portfolio and asked him in French:
"'What is the name of the big boat?
"NIr. Morley used the word boat (bateau) in
stead of ship (vaisseaU. The lad smiled but did
not reply. An agitated Frenchwoman in the
next portfolio cried out, Tell him, tell him. he
doesn't know the name of the ship When the
lad did not reply, she called out:
This is the Normandie.'
Mr.. Morley removed his hat. Thank you,
madame he said, this is the Alice M
It's all in the Saturday Review of Literature,

Thuggery
An Editorial.

THE assault on Upton Blish yesterday is
Il one more smashing piece of evidence re-
vealing the character Of the people concerned
in the administration Of criminal justice in
Marion County.
Peter A CPatsy) Cancilla suddenly assailed
a man whom he ou;weighs by at least 20
pounds merely because that man was Times
reporter. No words had passed between them.
Mr.. Blish had no hand in revealing Cancilla's
impressive criminal record.
This was CancilIas method of answering
this newspapers revelations concerning Crimi-
nal Court. Mr.. Blish is in the hospital with
a splintered cheek bone, possibly disfgured for
life
Cancilla is a former Deputy Prosecutor He
is an intimate of Criminal Judge Frank P.
Baker and a constant visitor in his courtroom.
He is a bosom companion of Joel A. Baker, so
called investigator" for Judge Baker and fire.
quentIy occupies Joel Bakers apartment in
the Indiana Democratic Club.
While Cancla was actually smuggling Mr..
Blsh. Joel Baker stood by as an amused spec
tator AS "JAB," Joel A. Baker has signed for
Judge Baker important records releasing men
from prison. reducing their bail or committing
them to Jail. Judge Baker has delegated great
power to his investigator"
Yet Joel Baker made no effort to interfere
while a crime took place in his presence in
what should be the abode of impartial justice.
Nor did any of the Courthouse employees or
attaches who crowded about raise hand or voice
to stop the assault.
After Mr.. Blish had sworn out a warrant
for Cancilla's arrest Joel Baker appeared in
Prosecutor Spencer's Office and angrily de-
manded to know the prosecutors attitude"
Mr.. Spencer indicated in no uncertain terms
that he intended to prosecute.
WE have no doubt about t., the conclusion
w that thinking people will reach about
this assault, which came a climax to a
long series of anonymous threats, filthy SLAM
der and general campaign of mud-gunning
more appropriate in connection with a gang
of hoodlums than with those associated with
the solemn duty of administering criminal
justice
AS for Prosecutor Spencer we believe he
deserves credit for his prompt and courageous
stand He has indicated that he will press
the charges against Cancilla to the limit of
the law. Mr. Spencer has made mistakes, but
we have pointed out before, and do so again,
that he has an opportunity still to make a
splendid record.
The assault on Mr.. Blish is of a piece with
the tactics used by Judge Baker. and the lit
tie group with which he is surrounded, in at
tempting to meet a set of hard facts re-
vealed by this newspaper. This physical slug
ging in The Courthouse merely goes one step
beyond the silly and reckless attacks on the
character of the editor and members of The
Times staff.
For several weeks We have given Judge
Baker free rein in our news columns to state
his opinions concerning the editor. We did
this, first, because his obscene remarks were
made in the courtroom and were therefore Of
fetal; second, because the people had a right
to know of the absence of decorum and judi
cial dignity with which a court, with power

OFFERS SOME SUGGESTIONS
TO THE CHIEF
BY David Murray

By David Murray
Chief Morrissey expresses delight
in and welcomes the cooperative
activities of Sheriff Ray in stamp
ing out gambling. The chief also
decries the fact that he has only one
morals squad, working during hours
which miss the bookies' business
hours.
Let me suggest that he can easily
organize another moral squad by
using the two patrolmen who have
been stationed in Dillon's place for
more than year at an expense to
the taxpayers more than $500.
Or maybe Prosecutor Spencer will
cooperate by loaning the chief his
new squad of secret investigators.

Quoted.
WE feel that we have now given Judge
w Baker full and complete representation
so far as his slanderous remarks are con-
cerned. He has become so repettious that
they no longer have any news value. In ad-
dition, his continuing vugarity does not make
very edifying summer reading for our sub
scribers. We have printed sufficient for our
readers TO form their own conclusions about
this mans character and his ability or inabil-
ity to explain the mass of evidence The Times
has collected concerning his official conduct.
The judge apd those associated with him
have made desperate efforts to make this
whole affair purely personal political brawl
between the editor of The Times and himself.
They have tried to confuse and becoud the
issue so that people would become bewildered
and wonder what it was all about In that they
have failed
AS an individual the judge is a person of
utterly no consequence to this newspaper. His
personal opinions are of no significance. Nor is
there even any fight" personal or otherwise,
so far as The Times or its editor is concerned.
We are merely turning the light into some
might dark and dirty corners in the county
Courthouse We shall continue to do so with
all the vigor at our command.
The issue is clear-cut. First, there is the
immediate situation of Judge Baker This
newspaper insists that his conduct has been
such as to cast a shadow upon justice. The at
mosphere of his court and the persons con-
stantly present in it are not conducive, to say
the least, to the best interests of the COM
munity. There is evidence of neglect of duty,
flouting OF the statutes, favoritism and special
privilege. This foments crime rather than sup
presses it.
CECOND, there is the broad problem of the
~ general statutes covering the conduct of
the criminal courts of the state Indiana is
seriously lacking in laws regulating criminal
judges No criminal judge may be removed ex-
cept upon conviction for a felony. A criminal
judge may commit misfeasance, malfeasance,
he may neglect his plain duty under the law,
his conduct on the bench may be grossly i'm
proper and yet there is no power during his
term of office by which he may be either Off
cially investigated, punished or removed.
We do not believe that the people of this
state approve of making it possible for any
judge to become a tyrant. We do not think
that the voters want to confer upon judicial
officer legal immunities SO vast that Judge
might even inadvertently, abuse his high office
with impunity
No other state that we know of grants to its
judges such great powers Nor do any other
elected officials from the Governor down to an
appointed clerk enjoy the legal privilege of
freedom from official responsibility which is
conferred upon criminal judge.
True, house cleaning in the present per-
sonnet in Marion County Criminal Court has
been long overdue But the voters them
selves should be beginning to think right now
OF the necessary measures they should take to
insure for all future time the integrity of
criminal justice in Indiana.
