GIGANTIC TASK FACES HOOVER'S CRIMEJ’ROBERS Commission Finds Data for Proposed Activities Is Lacking. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER I nltfd Frets Staff Correspondent f WASHINGTON. Nov. 18.—Rounding out its first six months. President Hoover’s law enforcement commission barely has been able to scratch the surface of a huge task, which some of its members now are convinced will require years. Today the commission announced the appointment of Amos W. Woodcock, United States district attorney In Maryland, to assist in certain phases of prohibition enforcement. He is one of a numerous staff of experts which the commission is assembling. Many others are to be selected before the commission really is ready to begin its work. Some differences have arisen within the commission between members, who wish to drop everything else and rush through with a series of public hearings on prohibition, and other members, who wish to proceed slowly and thoroughly into every aspect of the crime prob- | lem of which this group considers prohibition to be only one phase. Prohibition Causes Dispute Strong efforts are being made within the commission to prevent prohibition from being allowed to monopolize the attention of the commission as is insisted upon by some, the United Press learns. The commission has there is almost no scientific data on crime. Though there have been numerous crime commissions set up, including a national body, they have gathered material of only incidental value to the President's group. Such an elementary fact as the number of jails in the country is unknown. There are no maps showing all of the roads leading into the United States from Canada and Mexico, knowledge vital to effective suppression of liquor smuggling. Data Not Accurate There is no accurate information as to what effect prohibition has had on the Monday work day or the effect of poverty and unemployment on. crime. The commission finds there are no experts available for certain studies it desires to make, with the result that it may have to go into the laborious process of training experts. One of the big subjects upon which investigation has started is the "racketeer” who extorts millions from business men and others who fear personal or property injury if they do not pay. URGES GARBAGE SAVING Burning in Furnaces Pollutes Air and Lowers City Income. "Don't burn garbage—save it for the city collection wagons.” This request was being sent in letters addressed to apartment house owners and hotels today by Roy Johnson, manager of the Smoke Abatement League. Johnson says the burning of household debris not only creates more unnecessary smoke and fumes, but also deprives the city sanitation department of additional revenue.

LEGION LEADERS CONSIDER WORK Eight Legislative Aims Under Discussion. Commanders and adjutants from fifty-eight American Legion departments, opening a three-day conference at national headquarters today, considered eight legislative objectives to be sponsored by the legion. They included resolutions dealing with aviation, military, naval, veterans, immigration and hospitalization affairs. At a mass meeting at the Elks’ Club Sunday, the delegates heard O. L. Bodenhamer, national commander, speak on war. "When profits that nourish them are cut off, wars , will cease,” the commander said. He upheld the legion’s advocacy of national conscription of all resources in time of war. as a remedy for future emergencies. Plans are under way to organize a state legion band in Indiana, according to the Hoosier legion department executive committee, meeting Saturday at the Knightstown Soldiers and Sailors children’s home.

INSTANT RELIEF or your money back No Old Way Could Ever Do Thia for Torpid Liver. Benefits in a Day. Medical science now know&ssthat the drugs people used to take for the liver merely irritated the intestines and produced a condition known as catharsis. This new knowledge is based on recent discoveries. For torpid liver the secretion from the liver of the ox—called ox-gall—is now the authentic treatment. The all-important duty of the liver is to supply the intestines with about a quart of bile each day. This bile is nature's way of checking germ growth. When it is scant germs thrive and send poisons through the bloodstream. Then follow the disorders caused by impure blood. Ox-gall corrects this condition. It stimulates the liver, thus helping to increase the bile flow to normal. You Don’t Risk a Penny Now ox-gall is amiable in pleasant tablet form. Uis called Dioxol. In each Dioxol tablet, there are exactly ten drops of this genuine secretion. Start taking Dioxol. Within a day you’ll be benefited. Soon you’ll feel like new. If Dioxol fails to live up to your expectations, send the empty box to the makers, and your money will be refunded. Get Dioxol from your druggist. And for the sake of good health start taking it today. —Advertisement.

ADMIRAL JONES WILL BE NAVAL PARLEY ADVISER Stimson Sure, but Denies Concession Made to Policy Demand. liu United Press WASHINGTON. Nov. 18.—Secretary of State Stimson said today he had every reason to believe Rear Admiral Hilary Jones would accompany him to London as an adviser to the American delegation at the January naval conference. “I great confidence,” Stimson said, “in his character, his ability and his experience and he knows that I havev that confidence. He told me before I went away that he was going to go with me as my adviser and I have no reason to suppose ne has changed his mind.” Admiral Jones hesitated for some time after his selection by President Hoover before deciding to accept the London assignment. This attitude on the retired officer’s part was detailed by the United Press last Friday. Jones was perturbed partly because Admiral William V. Pratt would have superior rank in London, but principally because Stimson and other civilians in charge of the naval negotiations refused to adopt a rigid program for submission to the naval powers at London. Stimson prefers to go to London in a position to bargain with the other delegations. Asked today whether any concession had been made to Jones’ desire on this point, Stimson indicated belief that a rigid American program would wreck the conference. and that a bargaining position would be taken by American delegates in London. —■— SHOP THEFT IS PROBED Negro Youths Are Held in Robbery of Shoe Shining Parlor. Police today were questioning Joe De Ray, 17, and Eugene Grant, 19, Negroes, in connection with the theft of $l5O and a revolver from a shoe shining shop owned by Pete Alexander, 27 East Market street.
