men, burning the vessels. forcing
the nations to pay tribute. Against
these sailed Lieut.. (later Capt.)
Stephen Decatur When an Amer
lean ship was captured and placed
under the guns Of Tripoli, Decatur,
in the dead Of night, stole into the
harbor and put fire to it. The
Pascha of Tripoli and the Dey Of
Algiers soon made peace, and pi-
racy Of the Barbary powers ended.
Decatur, born in 1879, was only

work has use for everything, every
talent and everybody of knowledge
not only in crime detection, but in
crime prevention. Crime prevention
is sociology. That means it's every

Asked to list the attractions of the
force for college men. the inspector
replied: Good pay, security with a
pension at the end, chances for pro-
motion and for finding a congenial
field of work in the laboratory, behind
the desk or wherever. Last of all, love
of adventure. There isn't policeman
in whom the call of adventure has not

COLLEGE MEN SEEK
POLICE CAREERS
18 Former Students Are
Among 143 Rockies on
New York Force.
BY IRA WOLFERT,

ny WILT G"A,
NEW YORK. Dec. 25. (N.ANA).-
OF the 143 rockies let loose from the
New York Police Academy this week
to begin as harness bulls their careers
on the force. 3 have college degrees
aud Is, or more than 10 per cent,
have attended college for some length
OF time. One of these young men is
a lawyer, another received the regular
arts degree, while the third is a bach
elor of science
THE time has not yet come" says
Deputy Chief Inspector O'Connell, who
talks that way, when a man has to
have college degree to become a cop,
but the trend of the times is toward
the man with the higher education,
and the force shares in the fruits of
the times
Inspector O'Connell heads the police
academy, where men who have passed
the civil service examination are put
through course Of training before be-
coming probationary patrolmen.
Do college men make better cops9
That I would not say" says the
inspector. But it stands to reason
that the man whose mind has been
trained scientifically to absorb facts
and to apply general knowledge to
specific problems has the head start
on the man who has to train himself
in a hard school in which failure is
important A failure to apply abstract
knowledge to concrete problem in
college means you have to go back to
your books and study some more. On
the force, it might mean a bullet
inside of you"
No Attempt to "Sell" Careers.
The New York police make no at
tempt to sell" college men the idea
OF being cops. but the boys seem to be
getting the idea themselves. OF the
list Of 1000 who have passed their
examinations and are now waiting for
vacancies to be created in order to
get appointments, 80 have college de-
grees, the largest number of any list
IN police history. Since December of
1886, 1,102 men have been appointed
to the force, ~ of whom had degrees,
the majority bachelors of arts.
Inspector O'Connell remarked that.
while the college men stood high on
the list, they did not top it, but were
scattered down through it. The man
who led the list was a high school
graduate.
Former Clerks Lead.
In the most recent graduating class
the greatest number, 33, were re-
cruited from general clerical work.
The second greatest number, 8. were
formerly toll collectors. Seven court
attendants came next and then six
chaufteurs. The rest were formerly
anything from bartenders, butchers,
bodyguards, musicians, on through to
coffee roasters, statisticians and

The force. says Inspector O'Connell.
makes no special provision for college
men. They all start off with every
body else as cops on beat, but that's
the bottom rung of the ladder and

Rocke- feller, who died in his 98th year after making $l,o0O, 100000, and giving away $75o,OOO,OOO will be sent north in a private car tonight for burial. In the rooms of a castle in the hills overlooking the Hudson river at Tarrytown, N. Y, members of the Clan Rockefeller gathered to pay tribute to their patriarch and foun- der. There, in the great hall, the funeral will be held Wednesday. Soon afterWard the body will be sent for burial to Cleveland, where the multi-millionaire. 30 years ago, was a penniless youth.
 Dies Sunday Morning
 Rockefeller died yesterday at 4:O5 a. m. (EST) ill his winter palace here. Death came while he was in a coma, almost impercepitably, and there was no pain. It was caused by an aged heart simply giving up Its task. His death will not change the course of the dynasty nor affect its future. Since he retired in 1911, his son, John D. Jr., has been in complete command of the familys double functioning organization-the mak- ing of money through investments and enterprises on one side, the spending of money for educational, scientific, and general philanthroplc purposes, on the other. And among his descendants en route to the fam ily seat near Tarrytown were five grandsons, one of whom has two sons. who have been trained or are in training to take over the dynasty's future and power.
 Retired, in 1911
 In 1911. Rockefeller retirement had major repercusSions in the fi- nancial. markets and the nations business, but because the actual ownership of practically all his for tune had passed to his son, his death will cause hardly ripple. Slowly. bit by bit, he had given up everything dear to the living while he concen- trated on his last ambition-to live to be 100. Death caught him two years and little over one month short of his goal.
 But his death brought expressions of regret and sympathy from hun dreds for the man wEo in thu. early

 Is Not Disturbed
 He said the federation was not disturbed by Lewis activities, and that there was no connection be- tween his call for today's meeting and Lewis announcement last month that the c. I. O. would issue charters to local unions, central and state bodies. However, 1t had been reported that the federation was ready to purge completely all state federations of labor and all city cen tral labor bodies of c. I. o. affiliates. Green indicated that the federation might oppose President Roosevelt's wage and hour bill.

Alabama Law Also Upheld

The series of opinions virtually completed the courts work for thG year-a year marked by outbreak ot one of the most intense contro- versies ever to involve the high tri- bunal. as a result of President Roosevelt's Judiciary reorganization proposal.
 Cardozo Wrote Opinion
 Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo. lib- eral jurist and youngest member of the high bench in point of service, wrote both of the important ma- pjority opinions upholding old age pensions and unemployment insur- ance. The terms of the decisions were broad, affirming in the unem- ployment insurance case the right of the federal government to launch a program for the general welfare of the nation in concert with the states.
 Close scrutiny was expected to be given the opinions for indications as to whether they carried the legal basis for achievement of other ad- HlAllotI dClOAL 6OdAo tAllOu6A4 OA1C AiC- dium of legislation drafted along the general lines of the security act
 The unemployment decision re- vealed split among the court jur- iSts, following generally the lines of previous five to four decisions

 Three separate, dissenting opin- ions were presented-written by Justices George Sutherland. Pierce Butler and James c. McReynolds, Justice Willis Van Devanter, who retires from the bench June 2-tho day after the courts last session of the present term-joined in the Sutherland dissent.
 The court achieved closer agree ment in the old age pensions ver- dict. Although Justices Butler and McReynolds dissented to the ma jority ruling they presented no for nal opinion in support of their po- sition.
