Pittsburg, Pa. —The general volume of crime is on the downward trend In the United States, in the opinion of Sanford Bates, commissioner of correction of Massachusetts. Bates, president of the American Prison Association, which held its annual convention here recently, also believes that the crime-dealing machinery of the present day should be reorganized to meet the changed condition of modern life. “The so-called crime wave has not increased in the last ten years,” he said. “There are certain spectacular crimes, such as bank holdups, but the general volume is decreasing. There has been a diminution of vagrancy apd drunkness. “The problem confronting us today is to adapt the crime-dealing machinery of the twentieth century to meet the changing conditions. During the last fifteen years the number of automobiles has increased many times and the revolver has been widely circulated. This’Hs no reason for the American public to become terrorized, because there are a great numbed of law-abiding citizens.” Blames Liberties. The freedom granted the youth of today and the liberties allowed by new inventions were blamed in part by the Massachusetts official for crime conditions. “New inventions,” he said, “are breeders of crime, but then we do not know what grandfather would have done with the latest inventions. Intelligence and discretion, with the American public keeping its feet on the ground will aid in combatting lawlessness.” Comparing the criminal of the past and present, Bates said there were bold criminals in the United States today, “but none come up with Jesse James. The characters are different and methods today are dissimilar to those employed by old notorious criminals.” Yarious pulpits of Pittsburgh churches were occupied by members of the prison association at the morning services.

Purdue Is Asking for Six Millions

Indianapolis, Oct. 27.A building and expansion program which would cost $3,663,330 in addition to the regular expense of operating Purdue university for the next two years is proposed in a letter attached to the regular biennial budget of the university which was filed yesterday by Robert B. Stewart, controller at the university, with A. C. McDaniel, state budget clerk. The letter, signed by Edward C. Elliott, president, declares that if Purdue is to maintain her standing in the front ranks of universities of the country and is to progress in a degree sufficiently worthy of the needs Indiana for such a school, these added requests should not be ignored and that the faculty and trustees would consider themselves derelict in their duty if they did not bring such needs to the attention of the state budget committee. FEDERAlfONK PLANNING FIGHT FORJARMERS Closed Conference Appoints Group to Draw Up Congressional Program. DES MOINES, la.—I'tans for a new and more vigorous light by the mid-West for legislation designed to place the agricultural industry in a more favorable position, were considered in a losed executive conference held here a few days, ago, of representatives of farm organizations. The meeting was the annual gathering of the Grain Belt Federation of Farm Organizations, composed of more than thirty farm bodies. A legislative program will include a campaign throughout the mid-West for public support and a concentrated effort in Washington this winter for passage, during the short session of Congress, of an act to care for surplus agriculture production and measures to alleviate economic pressure upon the farmers. William Hirth of Columbia, Mo., chairman, explained that the executive session was desired to avoid any confusion that might result from the individual expressions on various subjects being taken as indictaing the opinion of Lhfc conference. This, he said, in the past has somewhat embarrassed later activities of the organization. Levy On Members. The conference decided upon a method of financing the program through a 5-ceut per capita levy against each member, the total to i amount to about $15,000.. A resolution committee also was appointed, it was learned unofficially, and this body was charged with drawing up the national legislative ; proposals. Some delegates desired to instruct the committee to specifically protest against high freight rates. Others desired a greater voice for »he farmers in controlling sources of finance upon wh ch they depend. Water way development played an mportant part in the discussions of conditions contributing to agriculture difi culties. Col. Smiili VV. Brookhart, Republican senatorial cand.date, and Senator David W. Steward successor to the late Senator Albert B. Cumm’ns, addressed the conference. Each said he was attending to learn more about mid-West conditions and to pledge support to the program.

FULL KLAN PROBE IN STATE URGED BY ROOSEVELT

Secret Organizations Influencing Public Officials Have No Place In America.

iColonel Theodore Roosevelt's latest comment on the Indiana Klan situation has appeared in numerous Eastern newspapers. It fol-

lows:

In Indiana during the past few years the Ku Klux Klan has been an active participant in politics. The klan is based on intolerance and therefore should find no place in the United States. There are, of course, good men who are connected with it. That does not, however, change the circumstances. Because good men are connected with a bad movement, it does not alter the fact, that the movement is bad. Advocates of the klan urge that Catholics and Jews at times vote on religious lines. This is no excuse for the Protestants doing likewise. Two wrongs never make a right. Those who act politically on sectarian lines have missed the real principles of Americanism. “Organizations which keep their 1 beliefs memberships and activities secret should find no place in American politics. At this time there are grave accusations being made as to the klan’s activities in politics in Indiana. There is but one course open to the Republican party and all decent citizens. That is to institute at once a drastic investigation. “The charges in Juliana should be probed in such fashion as to lay bare whatever improper conduct may exist. This is not all. The investigation must be handled so that the average citizen is convinced of the sincerity and thoroughness of the whole proceeding. If any prove guilty, steps should be taken immediately to bring the guilty ones to justice, regardless of whom they may be. “This is doublyy important in this case for not only must we punish individual misdoing, but, in addition, we must serve notice that we, as Americans, will not tolerate any improper Influence on our public servants or public acts by any secret organization, no matter what its doctrines may be. Our idea of government is based on the theory of open discussion of public questions. Our ideal in a public servant is one who cast openly as his con-

I Rum Gangs Ready To ‘Shoot It Out’ Near Marion, III.

Marion, 111., Oct. 25.—Armed to the teeth, members of the Birger liquor faction last night were fortified at their roadhouse near here to “shoot it out” with the rival Shelton brothers gang. Two members^ of the Birger faction were slain Monday night in a new outbreak of the warfare, which is said to have cost seven lives so far. “There is going to be a battle between the two factions,” Charles Birger, faction leader, told reporters at his roadhouse late yesterday. “We are not going to be chased out. We have stood as much as possible from the Sheltons and we are going to shoot it out as soon as we can find them. We can’t look for them in the day time, but we are going to get them at night. If we don’t get bumped off we’ll have a good story for you in a few days.

OLD BOOK TEUS HOW AMERICA WAS GIVEN ITS NAME

Germany Issues Handbook Giving- Information To Tourists.

Washington.—The origin of the name “America” is explained in a hand-book! now being circulated here in behalf of the German tourist trade. This publication gives to the German geographer Martin Waldseemuller credit for havingnamed the New Continent after Amerigo Vespucci as the “land of

Americus.” %

This occured in May 1507 when Waldseemuller published his “Cosmography” in Saint Deodat, a small German town in the Vosges mountain. Prior to that time scholars aparently has paid little attention to the voyages to the new world, although popular interest had to some extent been satisfied by the publication of Columbus’ letter about his first voyage and Amerigo Vespucci’s descrip-

tion of his third voyage.

The “Cosmography” contained

Notice Is Filed for Stephenson

Chicago. Oct. 27.—A new corporation with assets of $235,000,000 and an annual business of more than $450,000,000 is seen by La Salle street in plans for the merger of Sears-Roebuck and company and Montgomery Ward and company, the two largest mail order houses in the country. Informal negotiations conducted by the largest interests of both concerns for several weeks have now reached a point where government sanction will be sought, Chicago newspapers said yesterday. It was understood the proposal will be presented to the federal trade commission this week. Financial observers estimated the merger would effect a saving of $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 a year in operating expenses. The outlay now made by both houses for catalogs alone runs between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000. -— o

Delaware, Ohio, Oct. 27.—The bodies of O. H.

The bodies were found yesterday each pierced with a bullet. Betts shot Mrs. Brown, then killed h mself, probably Monday night, the police believe. He was incensed at attentions Mrs. Brown received from another man.

of the four voyages undertaken by Vespucci, two cartographic supplements; one of them a globe, the other a wonderful wall map. In September, 1507, a second edition had already appeared and soou^l.OOO copies of the world-map

were issued.

The German hand-book gives the following paragraph from Waldseemuller’s book as the original baptismal certificate of America: (Translation) “And now indeed these have been more widely explored, and another, a fourth part, of which we will presently speak more particularly, has been discovered by Americus Vespucius; I do not see why it may not be permitted to call this fourth part after Americus, the discoverer, a man of sagicious mind, by the name of American, that is to say, the land of Americus or America, since both Europe and Asia have obtained their names from women. Its situation and the customs of its people will be readily understood from the four voyages performed by Americus and which here fol-

Martin Waldseemuller was born near Lake Constance or at Freiburg in Brisgow; registered as student of the University of Freburg in 1490, and later lived at Basle and Strassburg, where '' was on friendly terms with the Alastian Humanists, with whom he kept up scientific discussions. The “Cosmography” disappeared from sight for three centuries when a dopy was discovered by a French scholar named Eyries on the stall of a street vendor on the Seine quays, and bought by him for one franc. Humbolt, the famous German scientist, saw this copy at the house of Eyries and recognized its tremendous historical importance. Humboldt discovered the identity of the author of the book who had signed himself as “Illiacomi-

Canton, O., Oct. 26.—Patrick McDermott’s own story of the Mellett murder case remained undisclosed last night .although he talked yesterday to Prosecutor C. B. McClintock and Detective Ora Slater. McCUntock and Slater seemed pleased with the day’s work and after removing McDermott from the county jail to the county workhouse, refused to tell any more than they told when they arrived here last night from Twin Rocks, Pa., with the elusive “key man” finally in custody. He had been sought for three months us a prime figure in the murder on July 16. of the Canton publisher, Don R. Mellett. They continued to declare that the case they have built around McDermott and the other indicted pair—Ben Rudner, Massillon, and Louis Mazer, Canton—has been strengthened and that several additional indictments may be ex- j pected. The Stark county grand j jury can be called within twenty- i four hours, McClintock said, if the | situation warrants. There Were t several indications that McDermott I has told his story to the authorities | but McClintock and Slater refused | flatly to reveal any information | that has come from the suspeet. Brother At Interview. McClintock and Bernard McDermott, brother of “Pat,” had a long talk with the prisoner in his cell, but both declined to say what had transpired. The prosecutor and Barnard then went into conference with Slater and the detective said 'he would interview McDermott during the afternoon. Later the plans were changed. McDermott was transferred to the Stark county workhouse and Slater postponed his interview. Asked if he had agreed to grant McDermott immunity or to nolle the indiCtm()it for first degree murder against him, McClintock said: “McDermott will go on trial for first degree murder unless he turns state’s evidence. I think he has more talking to do.” The .close-mouthed attitude of the authorities was construed as indicating that McDermott’s story is to be guarded jealously from defense attorneys for Mazer and Rudner, who go on trial Nov.8 and Dec. 6, respectively.
