According to one authority, $4,000 muir

Swarms of young criminals are breeding in

Witnesses were murdered, prosecutors

Except in isolated spots, our police are
sufficient in number and qualification for the
task But we must free our police and our law

Witness this fact: Seventy-two per cent Of
the boys discharged from reformatories and
other correctional institutions of one of our
states return to life of crime. In other states
this proportion ranges up to eighty-three
per cent. Nearly three out of four boys who
land behind the bars continue their careers
in crime after their release.

tragic picture which proves that crime is
not only costly to the community, but even
more costly to the boy who follows criminal
career.
At the beginning, the oldest of this gang
was only twenty-six; others ranged down
into the teens.
In the ten years. five were killed by police;
four were slaughtered in gang warfare;
twelve were sent to the penitentiary; three
were permanently crippled by police bullets;
six have become lineup buns; six are in
petty crime; three are operating in major
crime; and four have reformed and become

enough, by marriage to decent girls who were

WITH KNOX

TOPEKA, Kan, June 16 Q.N.S0.
Viewing the coming campaign as
"the most crucial in so years, Col.
Frank Knox, the G. o. P. vice
presidential candidate, arrived to-
day with members of the Subcom-
mittee of the Republican National
Committee to confer with the
presidential nominee, Governor Al
fred M. Landon.
Colonel Knox said at a press
conference held by the two candi-
dates:
"T came here to confer with
the next President of the United
States.
"This is the most crucial cam.
paign the party has faced in so
years, and it starts under the
most happy auspices by the
unanimous action of the cOnven-
ton at Cleveland in choosing
Governor LandOn to head the
ticket. No party ever started
better"
The former Rough Rider and
the subcommittee were the lunch
con guests of the Governor and
Mrs. Landon at the Executive
Mansion. The conference, ex-
pected to last through tomorrow,
was to be begun Immediately after
wards in the Governors study.
The confereeS were scheduled to
chart a course for the early stages
of the campaign. 1t was consid-
cred likely that the site and date
for the notification ceremonies
and the selection of a spot to
open the campaign would be an
nounced within the next "a hours.
Governor Landon and Colonel
Knox greeted each other for the
first time since January, 1885,
when the vice-presidential nomi-
nee delivered a Kansas Day ad-

Party leaders on the scene to
attend the conclave included John
Hamilton, national chairman, for

BONUS
Capital Trade to Boom
As Baby Bonds
Are Redeemed

With bonus baby" bonds" in
the hands of about $4,000 local
veterans Of the World War today.
the enormous task of converting
the securities into cash began
here and throughout the country.
Hundreds of ex-service men in
Washington had already surren-
dered their bonds at the City
Post Office and banks, while
other hundreds were preparing to
follow suit later in the day or
tomorrow.
Millions in Cash
When the Treasury checks
given in return for the bonds
begin to be available tomorrow,
millions upon millions Of dollars
are scheduled to pour into local
retail trade.
The first veteran to approach
the bonus windows at the city post
office this morning was Gus A.
KaresS, Of Z Second IT. N. E.
KareSS converted only five Of
his is bonds. Married but child
less, the veteran was asked why
he did not convert all his bonds.
He replied:
"I'm saving those others for a
rainy day."
The first to obtain his bonds
from general delivery was Joseph
M. Genella, of 715 Mt. Vernon
Place. Presenting himself to Will
Thill, a post office cashier who has
known him for years, Genella was
escorted to a certifying officer,
identified and IL bonds and
Treasury check for SO were hand.
ed over.
Discharges "VaIueIeSS''
Apparently through a misunder-
standing, many unemployed vet
erans appearing at the city post
office to obtain their bonds found
that their discharges from various
branches of the service were mere
scraps of paper"
If certifying officers at the city
post office and elsewhere continue
the policies inaugurated this morn
ing, unemployed veterans, unless
identified to the officers by per-
sons known to the officer, will
have to obtain slips referring them
to the particular branch of the
service in which they served. Off
cials of these services, according
to the certifying officers, then will
compare fingerprintS and other
identifications, obtain the bonds
from the post office and deliver
them to the veterans.
Checks Mailed Later
Veterans appearing at post of.
fices with bonds for conversion
into cash are now receiving in
term receipts and later checks
will be mailed to them for the
amount of the bonds converted,

DOCTOR TESTIFTES
The admission of Stinson and
the testimony of Johns, when
coupled with the opinion of DR..
Hugh Ward, of Owings, who per.
formed the autopsy, further led
police to believe that drowning did
not cause FenderSon'S death. The
body of Henderson, fishing com.
panion of StinSon'S, was found
floating in Chesapeake Bay yester.
day.
After the autopsy, DR.. Ward an.
nounced that Stinson's neck was
broken and his skull fractured,
and that no water was in the
dead mans lungs. Today, DR..
Ward said:
Henderson did not die from
natural causes and he did not
drown. 1t is possible that he
might have bumped his head
against the boat, thus incurring
the broken neck and the frac-
tured skull"
