LOYAL TONED BOOKS TO DOWN FLAG OF REDS Librarians Plan to Put Reading Matter Into Hands of Millions. TEACH HIGH IDEALS NTTW YORK. Feb. 21.—Believing that the surest, safest and quickest way to give the deathblow to bolshevism and red activities in the Fnitpd States is by ed#*ation, principally along lines of “Americanism,” ten of the-diighest ranking library authorities in the United States met in the Fark Avenue hotel and launched a campaign which, it is predicted. will reach to the heart of every home in America before it is completed. Thousands of books will be sent to persons who now read little, and literature supply stations will be established in industrial centers that will counteract the work of the red flag bearers. The work is to be carried on under auspices of the American I.ibrary association, and is the outgrowth of a meeting held in Chicago recently, when nominations were filed for the ten library superintendents in all parts of the United States who were to act as regional superintendents in the enlarged program under why. The campaign is to be known as the “Rooks for Everybody Campaign.” with the slogan, "Good Rooks Make Good Citizens." All public libraries and private institutions with membership in the American I.ibrary association, numbering about 400, will co-operate, with a view to instructing persons who read little or not at ail, and those who read literature detrimental to good citizenship, ft is intended to supply books that will not only teach the readers constructive measures in their wofk and industries, but books that will forward the spirit of Americanisnf. In mining settlements and cities where industrial unrest and bolshevism have thrived most, the greatest efforts will be put forth. Also the system of circulating literature for the country’s blind will be improved. Joseph L. IWheeler, chief librarian of the Youngstown (O.) library, said: “There are approximately 15.000.000 foreign born in the United States, about 6.000.000 of whom do not read or speak the English language. The great majority of foreign born in this country, know little or nothing of American history, traditions or ide.ils. They have been entirely dependent upon books and periodicals in their own language.” Mr. Wheeler said the libraries under the new campaign would devote much time and energy to educating the foriegn born as to the books and periodicals j they should read. COURT SCORES ! SLEUTHS’ PLAN Declares Detectives Provoked Crime Which Trapped Girls. NEW VORK, Feb. 21.—Characterizing the record of the case as scandalous and shocking to the sense of decency, Judge , William H Wadhams in Part I of the | court of general sessions reversed the conviction of Emily Hoffman, convicted before Magistrate Francis X. Mancuso of vagrancy. In an opinion directing the discharge of the defendant Judge Wadhams delivered a scathing criticism of i police methods and directed Assistant District Attorney James E. Smith to make an investigation to determine by j what authority the city's money is being ; spent to pay the expenses of policemen engaged in inciting the commission of crime. He also directed the clerk to deliver a copy of his opinion to the police commissioner. The conviction was obtained on the testimony of Detectives Fred Sorger and Hilbert Wheelrigbt. who managed to strike up an acquaintance with Miss Hoffman and a companion with whom she lived at 178 West linety-fourth street and invited rhe two girls to Healy’s, afterward accompanying them to their a pa rtment. After quoting the festimonv of Wheel ! right. Judge Wadhams sal-: "It ap 1 pears from the evidence that instead of the defendant being on trial, the offleer should be on trial. It Is the officer j who solicited the defendant, by calling ! her on the telephone, by taking her to Healy's. by there plying’her with drinks until 3 o'clock In the morning. “This method of proceeding is known as provocation. The court has already on. previous occasions pointed out the distinction between the legitimate trap and the provocation of crime. In the case of a legitimate trap, the police, learning that a crime is about to he committed, arrange the witnesses shall be present In order that the evidence may be obtained to convict independently oi any inducement of procurement on the part of the police. "This is not such a case. In this case the crime is induced, procured and pro- ! voked by the police, who deliberately undertake to effect the commission of the crime.” After pointing out that such methods opened the door to wholesale fraud and blackmail, Judge Wadhams continued: “The record before me Is a scandalous record. It shocks the spnse of decency. We have a body of policemen in this community who are faithfully performing their work, a courageous and diligent body of men. act* of policemen such as in this case brings the whole police force Into disrepute. The first duty of the law is to be lawful and not to procure the violation of law. The officer’s own conduct is such as absolutely to destroy the credit of his testimony. It is obvious that his conduct makes him unworthy of belief under oath. The taxpayers’ money is not to be used for violations of the law.”

BELIEVE WOMEN. DESERTED BABY A beautiful, blue-eyed baby girl, a foundling, discovered last evening on the front porch of Mr. and Mrs. | W. E. Draper, 3715 East Michigan street, a belated valentine, yesterday has been | confined in quarantine at the Indianapolis j Orphans’ home. Warmly tucked away In a basket with a few baby clothes as baggage, the mite was found by Mr. Draper, who answered the door bell. He saw two women dressed in black boarding a street | car. The law concerning foundlings and the regulations at the Indianapolis Orphans’ | home, where the Drapers took the child for care, may prevent the baby obtaining the home sought. With the baby was found a note, evidently written by a person of refinement, on smart pale blue note paper. The mother, who had written the note, appealed to the Drapers to keep the child. It read: "Dear Friends: I am leaving this dear little darling with you to care for and love as your own. She was born Saturday. Feb. 14, weighed eight pounds and is In perfect health. I have heard of j you people and know you can love her ns your own. Keep her: she may bring the best of good, luck to you.” ! "You rnn have her adopted any time. We are from out of the city. She is from very nice people, but we can not keep her, so we are giving her to you people with a few little clothes. Hoping she will live to brighten your love and will repay you for all you have done for her. HER MOTHER." GOVERNOR AIDS MORE CONVICTS Parole, Reprieve or Shorter Sentence for Five.

During the war he left the ministrv to serve in war work. With the cessation of hostilities he wtfs called togtake the pulpit of the Villa Avenue Methodist Protestant church. Rev. Buckley soon set about showdng the more skeptical members of his flock that anew church was possible and that it .could be built without leaving the congregation deeply in debt. The national board of home missions of the Methodist Protestant denomination agreed to support the community center enterprise to the extent of SIO,OOO. The Indiana conference of the denomination pledged $5,000 and SIO,OOO was raised within the membership of the church. The old church property which was already entirely paid for was valued at $5,000. Today the new structure is complete and the congregation has one of the most modern church buildings and community centers in the city. To commemorate the fhet that the work on the new structure was commenced in Victory year, that Rev. Buckley was sent to the church through the victorious termination of the war and that his proposition was the greatest victory In the history of the church, the name of tho congregation has been changed to the Victjry Memorial Mstfcodlst Protestant.

Roper at Washington by Federal District Attorney Leroy W. Ross of Brooklyn. * , Tho whisky could he obtained from bonded warehouses and sold for medicinal purposes at a reasonable price. Such n plan, If carried out. would soon force down the exorbitant price charged by druggists, it is contended. 1 "I have received many complaints froo. the public, from newspapers and from physicians of the manners in which a large number of druggists within tho eastern district of New York ami presumably In other sections of New York : City have been dispensing whisky for ‘ medicinal purposes," said Ross. khe complaints are of two classes: Those which speak of excessive charges made by druggists for whisky sold on prescription and those which speak of the most inferior quality of whisky sold.
