 In addition to disposing of sev- eral hundred pounds of literature, MT. Williams had meetings with small groups where Alaskan moving and still pictures were shown. He also made trips out of Camp Per " for the lectures. Stress was laid by MT. Williams on the fact that Alaska is not land of promise for unemployed persons.
 Correspondence was read relative to attempts to improve the freight and passenger service west of Ko- diak. Since Delegate Dimond is now in westward Alaska and is studying this problem at first hand, action was delayed until the Dele gate can be conferred with.

WELLS TO MAKE
 THEIR HOME HERE

MT. and Mrs. K. N. Neill, former Juneau residents, have returned here from Portland to make their home, arriving on the Denali. MT. Neill, who is auditor for the Public Works Administration was trans ferred to the Portland office, about the same time that Ross A. Gridley was transferred there to become re- gional engineer. But PWA work has so multiplied in the Territory, MT. Neill said, that it was necessary to reestablish the auditing service in the Territory. He will make his headquarters here, travelling to var ious PWA projects about the Ter ritory.

 Here's another example of a building saying, "Yes" to life. Lescaze discovered that the man for whom he was designing a house liked his morning tea while he was shaving. So Lescaze pro- vided a dressing table next to the wash bowl. The tea pot and cups are set on that. That man loved his garden, too. So Lescaze continued the flagstones from the terrace straight into one room of the house.

 Again: LescaZe was one of the ten architects who designed Will liamsburg, the huge New York housing project that covers l2 blocks. The buildings were to be built parallel to the sidewalks, like little blocks on big block.

NEW YORK William Lescaze can get pretty impatient when peo- pie think that glass-brick walls, tossed into house plan for decora- ton, make the house modern"
 He says there's much more to modernism than that, and he should know. He's been pioneering modern istic architecture since 1929. His own New York home was the first mod ernistic home in the city.
 He practically had to build it. he says, because people had such con- fused ideas about modern archi- lecture He put up the sample" in 1884.
 Any Old Monday
 There were times when his first house seemed a mistake. It caused such a rumpus that the Lescazes, husband and wife, had about as much privacy as a traffic cop.
 But they were sweetly reason- able. They invited the curious to come back any Monday-and they themselves got out on Mondays They left a man servant to conduct visitors on tours of their much-dis- cussed home.

 Here's how Lescaze goes about it. For his house he had one oi those dreary old brownstone houses in the heart of New York (211 East 18th Street. to start with.
 He went after that dreary brown stone Cleaned out the interior walls on the fourth (top) floor and made large living room away from the traffic noises Built the back wal of the master bedroom (third floor back in a flattened IS" shape, anc put four -foot-wide curved window the length of the wall.

 Lescaze tells people who can af- ford only small houses that mod ern architecture is perfect an- swer for them. He says modern architecture asks, What kind of rooms do you need for the things you do at home?" That way you're less likely to have library thrown in it when you never buy books

and that only judges should have the

From the statistical data which

throughout the past two years." the

pear that definite progress is being
made in the community's desire to
reduce crime in Washington.
More Crimes Solved.
while there has been an actual
increase in the amount Of major
crimes committed during the past
year, this increase is apparent in
many large cities Of the country. The
important fact, as regards Washing
ton. is that despite the increase in
crime. the Police Department has
solved greater percentage OF major
crimes this year than in 1886. The
second factor is that the Police Court
released fewer persons charged with

trict Court, 1882 cases originated and
were closed there in 1887. of which
number 2061, or 70 per cent Of all
cases. ended in pleas Of guilty, and
80l cases, or % per cent, resulted
in not guilty pleas and jury trials.
OF the tried cases, the defendants
were found guilty in $50 per cent.
The association found that the
average time required for a case to
be presented to the grand jury and
tried in the courts Is from seven to
eight weeks.
Prompt Trial Helpful.
Prompt trial OF all cases is without
doubt great deterrent to crime"
the report said. and it has been
APPLY said that delay is nine-tenths of
guilty felon's defense. The asso-
citation is constantly on the alert
to discover ways and means of bring
Ing about greater celebrity in the
trial OF cases, and believes that some
definite progress is now being made.
The elapsed time was not lessened
during 1887, however, due without
doubt to the increased number Of
cases before the courts"
The association commented favor
ably on the increased sentences for
habitual criminals and said this Is
the result Of the associations recon-
mendation that criminals be indicted
for every crime in which the police
produce evidence.
Excellent cooperation, despite lack
OF sufficient clerical personnel, has
been given by the district attorneys
office in this matter Of multiple in
dictments," the report said. In like
manner. in many instances the SEN
fences imposed on hardened criminals
have reflected the merits Of the null
tiple indictment policy.
Hardened Criminals Sentenced.
Thus during the past year hard
ened criminals have received in the
aggregate sentences such as 50 to "a
years. 81 to SO years and to 20
years. because all the robberies or
burglaries which they had committed
were officially, through indictments,
called to the attention of the court.
In other years. armed bandits coming
before the court with only two in
dictments for their many depredations
have received sentences of two or
three years, sometimes concurrently
and sometimes consecutively.
The association is not of the
opinion that every offender should
receive the maximum sentence pro-
vided by law. The situational Offend
ers, or youngsters who become in
volved for the first time, certainly
should be shown leniency and given
an opportunity to prove their future
willingness to be law-abiding. But
the association is definitely Of the
opinion that the second. third and
fourth offender is criminally inclined,
is a menace to the community and
should be given sentence commen-
surate with the crime he has COM
mitted end the future protection of
the community"
Referring to the increased use Of
probation, the report said the asso-
citation believes that probation and
parole are excellent forms Of social
control when properly administered.

major ofienses than It did in 1895.
The third factor Is that the grand
jury has maintained its record of
indicting in as many cases Is the
police present sufficient evidence OF
q crime. The fourth factor Is that
the prosecuting officer has been able
to show more guilty pleas. although
q slightly less number of convic-
lions after pleas Of guilty. The NTH
factor is the increased use of proba-
ton in the District, when probation
appears to be not form Of social
! control or of Supervision for the con-
victed criminals. but rather q form
Of judicial leniency."

Juvenile Crime High.
Crimes cleared in police files by fail

arrested by police were reduced in 1893

pared with 1879 per cent in 1896. Thu
Improvement was due to a new re.

associations analysis Of arrests. Ir
1886 the number of juveniles arrested
was 342.
THE final disposition Of juvenile
cases in the past has not been followed
by the association" the report said
but such an increase would indicate 9
need for further investigation into the
juvenile problem. 1t must be borne in
mind that juveniles, in most instances
are charged with misdemeanors al
though their arrests clear original re-
ports of felonies."
The Police Court disposed of 1892

crimes, 1t was stated OF this number

116 Gases Nolle Pressed.
Police Court records show that 11e
serious offenses committed in 1887 were
nolle pressed, while in 1886 the num-
Der was Ill. No papers were issued in

TT would appear" the report said
that sufficient evidence to convict was
not produced by the police in slightly
higher number Of cases brought to the
court during 1887 than during 1896.
Discharges Of all kinds in Police
Court totaled 294 in 1887, or 1914 per
cent Of the total number of arrests in
serious crimes, whereas in 1896 the
discharges totaled 286, or 1876 per cent
OF the total of arrests.

Grand Juries Impervious.
1.-THE grand juries in session during
the past calendar year were as imper-
vious to his hopes as were the grand
Jurors who sat during 1885," the report
declared. During 1887 the grand
jury returned true bills in 1923 of the
major cases which the association fol-
lows, or in 90 per cent of the cases
heard. and ignored 1877 cases, or 8
per cent of the cases heard. The same
percentage prevailed in 1896. The
grand jury returned indictments in q

OF the 1928 indictments, 1873, or
81 per cent, were nolle pressed, as
compared with 81 per cent in 1896.
OF the indictment cases, so, or 80
per cent. of the defendants were
found not guilty after trial in 1897,
while in 1896 26 were not guilty. On
the other hand, 938 of the indictments,
