LIEUT.. KOOKEN
TO BE TEACHER
OF POLICE Unit
AGENT WHO CHASED CAPONE
IN FEDERAL ACTIVITIES
WILL START NEW DUTIES
IN SEPTEMBER
(By Associated PreSs)


BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Aug.
26.-One of the federal agents
who helped clean up AL Capone's
gang in Chicago, Lieut.. Dan L.
kooken, now of the Indiana State
Police, will turn his talents to the
teaching of policemen when the
new four-year training course of
Indiana University opens in Sep
TENDER.
AS supervising lieutenant OF the
state police force, Lieutenant
Kooken has been assigned to di-
rect the study OF scientific meth
DDS, police tactics, general police
administration, and criminal in
vestigati0n. He has had consider
able practical experience in the
work as head of the state police
school which he organized and
headed and which is being aban-
doned in favor Of the new college
course.
Slight OF stature and mild of
manner-the antithesis of the
stage and movie presentation of
policemen Lieutenant Kooken
believes the non-political selection
OF a trained, educated police per-
sonnet is the answer to the crime
problem Of the United States. He
believes college men of character
and intelligence can be trained to
become the best policemen in the
world. e..-..-
He was in the coast artillery
from 1908-1911, then for six years
was timber cruiser, guide and
trapper in the Canadian north
west. He served as first lieu
tenant with the 369th infantry,
seeing heavy service in the Vosges
and Argonne sectors during the
World war.
Returning from army service
Lieutenant Kooken entered the
service OF the treasury depart
ment, later transferring to the de-
partment OF justice as a special
agent assigned to the Chicago d.
vision. In 1880 he resigned to be-
come assistant director of the Sc
cret Six, famed crime-fighting
body organized by the Chicago
Association Of Commerce.
With Capone safely behind
bars, Lieutenant Kooken resigned
from the Secret Six to become
superintendent Of public welfare
in Omaha. He returned to In
diana from that post in 1884 to
become supervising lieutenant of
the Indiana State Police.

League High Commission
er Continually Calls
Dictatorial Government
To Order
(By Associated PreSsl


FREE CITY OF DANZIG, Aug.
26.-Danzig nazis, who some
times take to throwing mud from
the streets as well as from the
platform, have picked on a tough
opponent in Sean Lester, the
colorful, slim little Irishman who
is the servant of the League Of
Nations in the Free City.
AS league high commissioner,
he is continually calling the dicta-
torial naZi government to order
for overstepping the city's demo-
cratic constitution. 1t is Lester
who two or three times year
hales the nazis before the Geneva
bar so that the League council can
administer seedlings.
Settled Irish Disputes
Therefore, he is the nazi '-Black
Beast" But as a former Sim
Feiner he had won his varsity
letter" in political fighting long
before the nazis picked on him
even to the extent of throwing
mud at his automobile. For Jack,
as he is known in Belfast where
he was born on September 81,
1889, into a grocer's family, has
been threatened with death, bomb
ed and jailed in Irish struggles
and is still very much alive in
spite of it. Hence mud thrown at
his automobile in Danzig is child's
play to him.
Modest and quiet for a man
who has lived a turbulent life,
Lester sits behind the rather thick
walls of the commodious house in
the center OF Danzig, where high
commissioners live, and lets the
epithets come. When the league,
on British and French proposals,
sought to send him here in 1884,
Poland objected. Then Lester
promptly said he wouldn't have the
job. The Polish relented and Les
ter accepted.
Immediately before coming
here. he was the Free States per-
manent envoy in Geneva and had
a big hand in settling many tick
lish DISPUTES which were laid on
Geneva's door step.
Met Danger AS Editor
He joined the Free State de-
partment of external affairs in
1922. He had been a journalist
and it was as such that his life was
frequently endangered. AS news
editor of the "Freeman's Journal"
in Dublin, he was in the thick of
the Sim Fem fight. From this
post he became chief propaganda
for the Sim Fem party. He was
known as one of Dublin's most re-
'sourceful editors. His office was
bombed, burned and raided and
his paper suppressed.
During the Black and Tan cam
paign his colleagues on the Free
mans Journal were clapped into
Jail but Lester took off hs coat
and brought out the paper alone.
All members of the staff at one
time or another received death
threats for their support of the
Free State provisional govern
ment. Testers Imprisonment was
spent in an English Jail.
His term of office in Danzig
runs till 1887. He may then be
reappointed by the league coun-
Gil. He is married and has three
daughters.

For Many Years Congress
Has Indicated DISPOSE
ton To Prevent Ship
ment Of Munitions
Bv preston GROVER
INV AssOci, "a I'res~S


sHy AsSOcis' "a Pres-5
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20 :
President Roosevelt has not a
shred of authority to enforce his
request that American munitiOn.
makers or others refrain from
shipping war supplies to nation,
at war-i.e., to the Spanish re.
volt area. But he carries big
stick.
For a dozen years congress and
successive administrations have
indicated a disposition to curb
shipments of munitions from the
United States to rebel areas. In
1922, under President Harding,
covenant was drawn up at Ha.
bana in which the United States
and a few Latin American repub.
lies agreed to prohibit their own
nationals from shipping arms to
rebel groups within any of the
nations signing the treaty.
Only a half dozen nations sign
ed it, but subsequently it wa.
written into a law in this cOun-
try prohibiting shipments of arms
to rebel groups in any Latin Am
erican country or to rebel groups
in any country in which 5;ase
United States exercises extra
territorial jurisdiction, such as in
China.
An Out Is Left
Itself born of a revolution, this
country left itself an "out" under
the Habana treaty. 1t wrote in a
provision that in case this coun-
try or any of the other signers
chooses to recognize the belli-
gerency of rebel groups Tin a
sense, to recognize that their
cause is righteous), it can permit
shipment of arms to them. That
same leeway was continued in the
law.
The big stick in the hands of
the president is simply the con
tinued disposition of congress TO
curb arms shipments. This made
itself even more evident in the
last congress.
At that time the neutrality act
was passed prohibiting munitions
shirments to warning nations. An
other act required manufacture
of arms and munitions, including
war planes. to register with the
state department and obtain ner-
mits for all exports of munition-.
Big Stick Effective
Although permits are required,
the state department must grant
them on request to licensed manu-
facturers desiring to ship to any
place in the world except to rebel
centers in Latin America and IN
"extraterritorial' countries.
Early in the Spanish revolt the
administration expressed a hope
that American arms makers would
not attempt to supply arms to the
fighting factions.
Permits to ship arms and am
munition including planes. con
tinued to issue from the state de-
partment at the rate of about 100
week ranging in amount from
few dollars up to thousand
But not a solitary request has
come from an American munitions
maker to chip war supplies 70

EMPLOYMENT [AGS
BEHIND AN UPTURN
When Business Thinks
Gains Permanent, Will
Provide More Jobs
BY CHARLES p. STEWAKT
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Jan. Ito Theodore
M. Knappen, commercial scientist
of high degree, the National Lumber
Manufacturers Associations chief
economist and Washington correspon-
dent for the Magazine of Wall Street,
it doesn't seem a bit strange, as 1T
does to most folk, that unemployment
doesn't dwindle with anything like
the rapidly of the improvement in
business.
ION the contrary says Economist
Knappen, business generally has to
keep on improving for some time.
after a depression, before the inn
provement begins to be reflected in a
decided increase in employment.
"That has been the history of all
past post-depression periods.
employers are hesitant at first to
re-expand. They want to make sure
that the Improvement they feel can
be guaranteed to continue"
GREEN is DOUBTFUL
President William Green Of the AM
erican Federation of Labor, discuss
ing the unemployment problem in the
A. F. of LIS latest Monthly Survey
of Business, is perhaps not more pes
simistic but at least more doubtful.
President Green agrees, it is "en-
couraging' that 100000 more workers
have jobs today than in November,
1884, but he points to 11.672,0O0 who.
according to the A. F. of LIS figures,
still are invOluntarily idle. Besides, he
says, boys and girls are coming of
age and seeking positions at the rate
of 100000 annually; they must be
absorbed also.
The A. F. of l.. head likewise
makes the point that, while employ
erS' profits have risen 40 per cent
(the A. F. Of LIS estimate) since 1884,
labor must work an hour and a quar-
ter weekly longer to maintain its 1884
income.
UNBAI4ANCE
President Green's account is that
even the business Improvement cam
not last indefinitely without higher
pay and shorter hours-for. without
them, there will not be sufficient buy
ing power in the country to absorb
business output
He speaks of the "unbalance of
1885,
A production increase of II per
cent
Only four per cent increase in
employment
total wage increase of only seven
per cent, partly offset by longer hours
An employers profit increase of 40
per cent.
IS per cent increase in living
costs.
unless this unbalance can be cor
rected.' says President Green. 1--WE
cannot hope for sustained recovery or
sustained employment"
