At First Reception.

Mrs. Ickes in Gold Lame
At First Reception.
Mrs. Ickes was wearing becoming
dress of gold lame made with puffed
sleeves and a straight length skirt,
when she greeted her guests in the
wide hall from which two curved
staircases lead to the upper floors OF
-ieadwaters Farm.
While the house of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ickes is built along colonial lines,
there is a newness about it that one
would associate with bride. And
It Is well known that the attractive
young cabinet hostess spent much
of her time before her marriage
in planning the placing of the
beautiful furniture, much of it
having belonged to the original
owners OF the property. After her
return from Ireland, where she mar
ried the cabinet officer, Mrs. Ickes
saw that her plans were carried out,
selecting the draperies and other
furnishings which tend to give a
house the atmosphere which makes
1t home.
The beautiful table of fine mahog-
any, which is one of the lovely pieces
Of furniture which was in the house
when Secretary Ickes purchased it.,
vas used in the dining room yes
terday. The table was devoid of a
cloth of any description, bit start
ling at first, and then the rich
Grains of the exquisite wood was OBJ
served and appreciated. Tall, white
tapers threw delightful glow over
the table, which had for its center
piece simple bowl of pink carna-
tions.
Dainty sandwiches and cakes with
piping hot tea and coffee were
served. Early in the afternoon there
had been other beverages, which
Mrs. Ickes graciously explained to
some of her late callers had run out
and as she had lost the key to the
cellar there was nothing to be done
about 1t.
Mrs. Ickes Gracious
Hostess to Callers.
This first experience as a cabinet
hostess at home to society in the
Capital was a bit firing for the young
Mrs. Ickes, and although to the very
last minute Of the reception she was
ever charming and gracious, she
stated frankly that she was very
tired and several times she slipped
into the drawing room to rest awhile
on one of the comfortable chairs
which are wisely placed about this
lovely room. The new cabinet host
ess has taken her place in the ranks
Of the official hostesses with a grace
and poise that will be remembered
by all who made the journey to
HeadWaters Farms yesterday.
To tell bit more about the house:
In the dining room built-in cabinets
add to the Colonial effect of the
room, and yesterday on the old
fashioned buffet there was a large
silver bowl filled with pink roses.
Evening star., 1939-01-05

Over the mantel was the only paint
ing in the room, lovely scene of
golden autumn. Chintz draperies at
the windows were predominantly
green, with a foWered design.
Wide arched doorways opened
from the dining room into the hall
and from the hall into the drawing
room, making the three front rooms
of the house open to view.
In the long drawing room the
furniture was covered with bright
materials. At the further end of
this room built-in book shelves rose
from floor to ceiling, and through a
doorway at this end could be seen
the Secretary's den, with white
drapes at the windows.
The drawing room itself, with
tastefully arranged flowers on the
low tables, was furnished with the
same simplicity seen throughout the
house, and here, too. the Colonial
theme was carried out.
The Secretary's collection of In
dian work was seen here and there
throughout the house. On a couch
in the upper hall was woven In
dian blanket, and in the cane holder
on the lower floor was an ivory stick
with a brightly-painted carved de-
sign.
Assisting Mrs. Ickes were Mrs.
Henry A. Wallace, wife of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture; Mrs. Stanley
Reed, Mrs. Hugo L. Black, Mrs. Will

100000. They rather favor twice
that figure as closer to fact.
If the Chicago figures are any,
where near right, then prostitution
must take in at least $5O,O0O,O00 on
national basis every year, not
counting profits in liquor, food and
the like, purchased in these places.
Most reliable authorities, incident
ally. seem to think that estimate is
too conservative.
Guess About Gambling.
Gambling apparently is much
better income producer. Various au-
thorities have made all sorts of esti-
mates. In Kansas City, judge Allen
G.. Southern says crooked gambling
joints blk Kansas City of $4,000 900
year. Garry that out to a conserva-
tive conclusion for the Nation as a
whole, and you realize that crooked
gambling must nick unsuspecting
citizens for $1000OO,OO0 to $500, ,OOO,-
900. But those are only guesses.
The steady income in these fields
is the lure for politicians eager for
bank accounts and officers of the
law who forget their oaths of office.
Take that Baltimore case in the
F. B. I. files.
In the spring of 1887, prostitu-
ton was paying handsome dividends
in Baltimore. 1t was paying Police
Lit. Edward L. HitZelberger big
money. 1t was paying bug-eyed

Cappie Goldstein, the race-horse
man who shuttled between Hitzel-
berger and the crime world. If a
madam stood in with Hitzelberger
and Goldstein and paid off regularly
she could run her business unmo-
lested, and bank $lO0 week without
even trying.
Shirley Kaminski, Cappie's girl,
and the synonym for prostitution in
Baltimore, made the biggest profits
because she got the cream of the
business. No telling what Miser Mary
Llebman made out of the racket. She
ran a house of prostitution in Balti-
more from shotstring to a fortune
Story Of a Picture.
The lesser lights-procurers, edu-
Gators, and prostitutes-got the
crumbs at the crime table, about
S75 week apiece. The prostitutes
themselves were lucky if they could
keep enough to eat on.
But on the night of May Is, 1887
the F. B. I. cracked down on Balti-
more prostitution and wrecked the
racket. So brazen had been the
crime world and its allies, that they
were quite open with their camara-
derie. A photograph of 1t. Hitzel-
berger was found in the business
office of Shirley Kaminski, uniform
and all.

police were through with that pic

(Second of a Series.)
BY MORGAN M. BEATTY.


! Associated Press Staff Writer.
Over in the Federal Bureau of
Investigation are rows upon rows of
steel cabinets, all carefully locked.
They contain the anatomy of
crime in America.
Hundreds of criminal cases have
been assembled and recorded, detail
for detail, and put together like
books, so that G-men and author
lied criminologists may more readily
X-ray crime and its consequences.
Many a kingpin in the upper
world as well as the underworld
would topple if all the information
in these files were susceptible to
proof in a court of law.
With few exceptions, these cases
are startling alike in pattern. Read
one, and you can almost say you'd
read them all. Each reflects one
or more of the four big facts of
crime. They are:
l. Crime is organized.
2. Crime depends in good times
and bad on two faithful geysers of
ipcome-illegal gambling and pros
titution.
3. The A-B-C of crime are larceny,
burglary and robbery, for about 95
per GEN. of all serious criminal Of
fenses reported to police fall into
these claSsifications.
4. The whole structure thrives as
an organized force in the national
community only because of the pres
ence of the Big Fix.
Want to Stop Fixing.
The idea behind the Nationwide
crusade launched by the F. B. I. and
the Federal grand jury in New York
is to wipe out Fact No 4. They want
to stop fixing. Then the other three
facts of crime can be dealt with,
hand to hand. Law enforcement
agencies won't have to struggle
through tangling net of obstruc-
ton and delay reared by crooked
politicians, underworld financiers,
lawyers, bail bondsmen.
/ When I asked J. Edgar Hoover to
give me composite picture of crime
in America, he was ready. He ratified
of the facts like a machine gun:
Our annual crime bill is $15,O00,-
000,000-s120 for every man, woman
and child in the land. That's 400
per cent more than we spend on
education.
Every % seconds serious crime
is committed in our supposedly civil
lized land; every day from dawn to
dawn, 33 of our citizens are mur-
dered. Our homes and our lives are
threatened by an army of lawless
individuals numbering 4,75O,0OO."
Base of the Pyramid.
Gambling and prostitution have
always been the bane of law en-
forcement groups. Offenses are sell
dom reported to the police Criminals
wander in and out of these occu-
pations without serious penalties
Bawdy houses and gambling joints
are the hideouts for desperate crimi-
nails. Likewise these dives are the
meeting places for the Big Fix, since
they furnish the basic revenues for
the pay off to politicians and under
world financiers.
The Northwestern University sur
vey of recreation in Chicago, just
completed, estimates that prostitu-
tion takes in more money than all
the legal commercial amusements in
the city put together. The surveyors
suggest that an estimate of the an
nual total is too conservative at s1O,-

by charlatans and quacks to lure
unwilling victims to their fiy-by-

But today, every major dental
operation can be performed without
the least pain to the patient"
There's still an outcry from the
most expert dentists hair once in
while, because, he said, of "the

changed shut on Hitzelberger, Cappie,
Shirley, Miser Mary, and dozens OF
prostitutes and the men they kept.
incidentally, physical examinations
disclosed that IS per cent of them
were infected with syphilis, gonor-
rhea or both.
The Baltimore case is just one
more reason why the F.. B. I. is 60
ing after the Big Fix all the way
across the United States. Kansas
City and Baltimore were no worse
than some other cities. They were
merely examples of what goes on A
cleanup in isolated spots like that
helps, but it accomplishes little last
