‘TRAINING OF _ POLICE WILL LOWER CRIME’ W. A- Pinkerton Tells Chiefs ‘Beginners’ Responsible for Lawless Wave. SAYS COP HAS A TRADE Police Chiefs O. K. Wireless System to Catch Culprits ST. LOHS, June B.—Criminals will be grabbed by the Ion? arm of the wireless. If plans mapped out by th* of the International Assort elation of Chiefs of Police are per- ™ fected, it was announced today. Declaring that the present methods of apprehension are out out of date. James 'V Higgins of Buffalo secured passage of a resolution urging that police headquarters of every large city of the country be equipped with radio apparatus. A committee was appointed to work out plans for a uniform police system of wireless telegraphy and telephony. V J ST. LOUIS. June 8. —"Putting a uniform on a man and sending him out on a beat does not make him a policeman." ; said W. A. Pinkerton, principal of the national detective agency. In an address here before the International Association ! of Chiefs of Police. "It is Just as necessary for a police- ; man or a police detective to learn his trade M it is for a shoemaker or a black- j smith to serve an apprenticeship. Even a self-respecting labor union makes apprenticeship a prerequisite for eliglblity to membership. “The pre-enrollment training of a policeman should at least consist of a short course in deportment, crime classification, arrests, fires and accidents, ordinances, felonies and misdemeanors, assaults, homicide, larceny and robbery, burglary, descriptions of persons, buildings and locations, and preliminary investigation npon the discovery of indications that a crime has been committed. NECESSARY TO COPE WITH CRIME INCREASE. “This training, to be extended according to the capacity of# the Individual, should be continued until the recruit either proves unfit for police work or graduates from the school, when he will j probably have developed an ambition for higher studies than those provided by the department. Suet a system of training I believe necessary If we are to cope \ irwlth increasing crime, as it will even- \ J family give us competent Investigators for the detection of crimes and the apprehen- j cion of criminals. "I believe most of your will agree with : me that the beglner In crime often displays craft and cunning that is equal, If . not superior, to that of the hardened j profeslonal. That it is much more difficult to find the unconvicted sneak thief , in the shop or factory, or the novice ! who is pilfering from the coat pockets banging in the lockers, which belong to his fellow workman, than to find the pro- j feslonal pickpocket who operates In crowds, that It is more difficult to solve j the mystery of some homicides com- j mltted on impulse and In the heat of passion than it is to find the culprit in a j calmly calculated, premeditated killing, j or to find the professional burglar or : house prowler after be has left the scene j of his latest crime. “SO-CALLED GIV-MEX ARE BEGINNERS.” "You will sgree with me, I think, when j I say that if these desperate young hood- j luma, who are now terrorizing all of your I cities, these so-called ‘gun-men’ and ! ‘stickup,’ who are robbing banks and merchants In buildings and often in i crowded thoroughfares, killing or maim- j king whoever may resist or stand In their gray, are still active after more than years of almost uninterrupted sue- | cess. It Is because many of them are be- ! giners In the game of ‘stick-up.' They 1 have not yet been indexed in your rec- i ords. they are still unclassified and un- i catalogued. "But. I repeat, we must study motive, ' we must aim to understand the workings I of the criminal mind, and to that end we must lose no opportunity to gather in formation from criminals or those who come in closest contact with criminals if we would be useful in the detection of crime and the apprehension of criminals."

Icebergs have been causing trouble in 1 the north Atlantic for more than a week, j Ordinarily they float down later in the summer. The Saxonia. docking almost two weeks ago, was the first liner to re* j port a delay this summer due to encountering a number of the floating monsters. Reports of a disaster today occurred at the height of the trans Atlantic traffic. One of the greatest passenger fleet* since the war was at sea, many of them Just now passing the region where the bergs were presumed to he numerous. The Carmanla, a famous Cunard boat, was one of the best, known of the vessels now fighting their way across the Atlantic. The Cannarla and the Rocharnbeau apparently were in about the same longitude. OTHER NOTED SHIPS ON RIM OF ICE FIELD. Other famous vessels at r-?a now Included the Aquitanla and the Mauretania, sister ships of the Cunard line which are staging an Interesting race from England. They are to dock Friday and Saturday in New York and should be on the rim of the ice field today. The Olympic, the flier of the \n hlte Star line, is headed for Great Britain and should be well past the danger zone. A great many of American Kotarians are aboard the Cameronla and the Caronla. now about due in England. In all there were fifty passenger ships bound for European ports or headed for America.

Dies Suddenly A. T. HURT.

SAYS AMERICA SHOULD BECOME WORLD MODEL (Continued From Page One.) the claim of the doubter, the Innovator, the experimenter, the would-be constructionist. MIST GUARD AGAINST CYNICISM. "But while we must give these adventurous ones their full chance, we must sedulously guard against the spirit of mere cynicism, the disposition to condemn all things as they are because they are not perfect, the tendency to tear down before any plan of reconstruction has been prepared. “The trained mind—provided it is not over trained—is the one that must provide the saving faculty of discrimination. The world must go forward and not backward; and It will not go forward as the result of nfty philosophy of mere destruction. After all, unsatisfactory as some earnest people regard the present structure pf society and existing human relationships, a reasonably conscious world has been a long time traveling as far on the road toward ideal conditions as it now has reached. "History has afforded many illustrations of societies crumbling and going to pieces and the process has invariably i been attended with superlative disaster ; to great masses of humanity. It is a j common place that at this time the world i stands on the brink of what looks much j like a precipice. It must not be alloweQ 'to take the fatal plunge. If will not, if ! it shall be able to summon to Us leadership in the coming generation men and 1 women who will unite • necessary meas- | ure of constructive purpose with an 1 equally expression of willingness to con ! sider new expedients to test out old formulas, to apply the acid test even to what we have learned to believe is pure gold. EDUCATION NOT ALL IN ACADEMJC HALLS. j "The education that can truly prepare for the demands of society In the time before us cannot be given merely tn academic halls. The world outside must contribute of its practical experience. Its Intimate knowledge, Its discipline and i disappointments, to complete the equipment. He who has learned how to u-e j books, how to find what he requires in ! them and then to apply It. without the necessity of overloading his mind with j unnecessary detail Is the one who has ; made his educational preparation most j useful. "So to the young falk in cap and gown, 1 gathered here and on a thousand other ' platforms to receive the testimonies that , they have completed their academic ! courses. I would plead that they recoc- | nize after all, the effectiveness of their | educational effort will at hist ho in proportion to their recognition that it is only preparation and not conclusion.”

HERT NATIVE OF INDIANA STATE The death of Alvin T.

One of the leading figures in Republican pliotics in the Middle West, Mr. Hert was a native Hoosler, but n Kentuckian by adoption. He was prominent in Indiana politics before he went to Kentucky about fifteen years ago. Mr. Held: was born in Owensburg, lnd., April 8, 1865.

NEW CLERK RUNS INTO DIFFICULTY Finds He Is Without Authority to Administer Oaths. The first conflict of the created authority of the chief clerk of the Criminal Court by Judge James A. Collins with that of the deputy representing County Clerk Richard V. Sipe, occurred today ! when Emsley Johnson, a local attorney, was appointed by Judge Collins to preside over a Jury case. William Kaiser, who was appointed chief clerk yesterday and who was for years the county clerk deputy assigned to the court, proceeded to administer the "oath” io Mr. Johnson as Judge pro tem. Judge Collins immediately decided his newly appointed chief clerk had absolutely no authority to administer an oath to a Judge pro tem. County Clerk Sipe’s deputy then administered the oath. ■ Judge Collins, in appointing Mr. Kaiser i as his chief clerk, delegated, by a written | order, the supervision of all court recj ords. Under the law, County Clerk Sipe is the custodian of all records and only his deputies or himself can administer oaths. It was Intimated today that if Mr. , Kaiser as chief clerk attempted to administer oaths it would be one of the . reasons advanced for alleged error In any court proceeding on appeal, j It is contended County Clerk Sipe can ! not delegate powers of a deputy clerk ! to Mr. Kaiser as he is now a chief clerk appointed by the court and not by the county clerk. % County Clerk Sipe has instructed his new deputy clerk to learn all the oaths and administer them .

SEEK PAIR IN KABER MURDER Detectives Express Belief More Light Will Be Shed on Case. NEW YORK, June 8. Detective* hunting the murderer of Daniel Kaber. wealthy Cleveland publisher today expected to arrest a man and woman In New York whom they believe can tell more about the actual murder than three women now under arrest. A homicide squad, led by Capt. Arthur Carey, was tracing the couple. They said they had reason to believe the man was the actual assassin and the woman his accomplice. Searchers held the theory that Kaber was murdered by a hired assassin who attempted to “rig up” a fake robbery to conceal his crime. It was pointed out the two women—Miss Marian McArdle and her mother, Mrs, Daniel Kaber —held here, and the grandmother, held in Cleveland, have never been accused of the actual stabbing. The New York trail to the slayer wa taken up when a curious Syrian razor, said to have disappeared from the Kaber home the night of the killing, was found in a New York pawn shop. Indiana Roses Are Sent to California Special to The Times. RICHMOND, lnd., June 8. Fifty thousand Richmond roses are on the way to a California nursery.

The shipment establishes a precedent in Indiana, as hitherto, California ha* been regarded as the home of roses. The use of a refrigerator car for a rose shipment also establishes a precedent for the transportation of Indiana roses, for it is the first time such a car has been used for the purpose in the State.
