MRS. MARSHALL SAYS PENSION NOT NECESSARY Rich Friends Might Think Her Poor, but She Is ‘Comfortable.’ BY ELDORA FIELD Although her rich friends might consider her "poor,” Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall, widow of the late Vice President, is “quite, quite comfortable,” in her own opinion. And whether Congress revives the movement to grant her a presidential widow’s pension or not she has “quite enough to live on in accordance with my tastes, which are quiet ones.” Mrs. Marshall, stopping at the Propylaeum on a business trip, Monday, discussed a story, printed in the New York World Saturday, that her friends here were planning to tevive the pension bill in Congress. Doesn’t Expect Pension “Mrs. Roosevelt is the only widow of a head ofilcial of the United States to receive a pension,” she said. “Movements were on foot to get both Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Harding such pensions, but the same thing I believe, happened to those pension bills as happened to the one for me. They* went into the hands of a committee—but got no farther.” “I have never expected this pension to materialize. Would I refuse it? Well, if kind friends really exerted themselves to this end, I shouldn’t want to seem unappreciative. “Everything is comparative. I’ve some rich friends to whom I doubtless seem really quite poor. If their opinion were asked, they would probably encourage the bill tremendously. Truly though, I’m quite, quite comfortable. One of my reasons for being here in fact, is that I have business interests here.” Going to Washington Mrs. Marshall, for several seasons past has been living with relatives in Scottsdale, Ariz. “But only Indianapolis really seems like home,” she declared “both the fact that my dear husband’s body rests here and the fact that my material interests are in this city would make it seem so.” Mrs. Marshall carries an oblong silver locket in which are the pictures of her husband and their adopted son Morrisop, now dead. He would We 11 if he had lived. “Oo you know,” she asked, “that I have found homes for twelve dear children among my friends?” Mrs. Marshall ■v/ill go to Washlr.gton in October.

PRESS AND BAR , COOPERATION IS CALLEDBETTER Newspapers Make Progress in Improved Handling of Trials. By United Press BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 30.—Substantial progress in handling of reports of trials by newspapers has been made during the last three years, the committee on co-opera-tion between the press and bar of the American Bar Association reported at its meeting here today. Further improvement may be anticipated in respect to technical accuracy in reporting decisions of higher courts, the report said. A private agency is being created to supply the press with reports of decisions in non-technical language. The committee also suggests more stringent requirements for those who cover trials. Cooperation Urged Dr. William A. White of Washington, D. C., addressing the Criminal Law Bureau, closer cooperation between tiie legal profession and the psychiatrist in dealing with the crime problem. This could be accomplished, said, by having lawyers ni criminology, particularly district attorneys and judges of criminal courts; and by gradually transforming prisons into laboratories for study of human behavior. To this end crime should be dealt with not as a moral, but as a scientific, problem for purposes of refining causes, explaining outcrop, preventing occurrence or curing results. America’s greatest shortcoming in dealing with crime lies in the matter of detection and arrest of criminals, Oscar Hallem, chairman of the criminal law section, reported to his committee at the noon session. The answer to this condition, said Hallem, usually can be attributed to the same cause in the various States—inadequate number of police. ‘ Officers Elected The judicial sesion today elected officers for the coming year. They are T. Scott Offutt, Court of Appeals of Maryland, president; Arthur P. Rugg, chief justice Massachusetts Supreme Court, vice president; executive committee, Frederick E.
