BUTLER'S CLAIM OF ‘CRIME ROUT IN DAYWEEREO General s Failure to Purge Philadelphia Cited by City Officials. The words of Major-General Smedley Butler at a South Bend dinner club Tuesday night that: Any police force can clean any city In twenty-four hours if the mayor and city government want it cleaned'' were flung back in his teeth today by Indianapolis city officials. Butler’s record in failing to clean up Philadelphia when he was named mayor of that city was the boomerang to:,sed at him by city executives for his South Bend statement. On the other hand Claude E. Worley, former police chief and several others asserted Butler’s ’ defi” an accurate estimation of crime and its cure. The symposium of comment on Butler’s remarks follow: Mayor Skeptical MAYOR REGINALD SULLIVAN —Butler could be mayor and could not stop crime. I certainly want to clean up, and we’ve done all we can to clear it. Conditions are better here than in a long while. JAMES E. DEERY (city attorney)—No. police force, mayor or government can make people perfect. Until people are perfect we’ll have crime. CHARLES BRITT (prohibition director)—Butler’s statement is right. It can be done if it is wanted. PAUI. C. WETTER (municipal judge)—When the public or citi- i rens begin to co-operate fully with the police department then the city, can be cleaned up. It can't be done in twenty-four hours In this or any other city its size.

Butler Not Successful CLIFTON R. CAMERON, (municipal judge)—General Butler may have a war record, but his record as a civilian docs not seem to meet the requirements of the constitution for peace. He would do well to clear his own mind of the belligerent attitude in twenty-four hours. He reminds me of Nero. It’s a wonder he didn’t fiddle while Philadelphia burned. WILLIAM PAULSEL, (police captain)—General Butler had his opportunity in Philadelphia, and we know what his success was. I don’t think it can be done in twenty-four hours. Lots of things, too, are to be considered and I believe Kinney is trying to keep the city clean. One Supporter JESSE M’MURTRY, (police caprain)—Butler is right. If the judges would order us to bring in all known gamblers and thieves, and if they would stick them, there would be a general exodus of this type from Indianapolis in less than twentyfour hours. To be sure, we might have to convict them on their past records and on evidence that wouldn't fully prove they were gambling. but if this would be permitted, Indianapolis would be clean in a hurry. In these poolrooms there is gambling, but try and get the evidence as required by the courts for conviction. CLAUDE E. WORLEY (former police chief of Indianapolis)—There isn't any question if a police chief were given free rein and his men knew they would not be responsible to any political faction and enforcement of law was on a nonpartisan basis that wonderful tilings could be accomplished. “Can't Be Done” HERBERT WILSON (prosecutor)—l den’t think it can be done so soon. WILLIAM H. REMY (former county prosecutor)—The police department could do more than any other single agency toward law enforcement. Many police officers who have conscientiously tried to do their duty have been disgusted when they found the men they caught in law violations have been released through influence of politics or negligence of those whose duty it was to indict, prosecute and convict. If every law violator were captured, it might clean up the city temporarily, but a permanent solution only could be reached by cooperation between police, prosecutor and judiciary.

"I like pies better than most any food, but I used to suffer when I ate pastry,” says M. J. Cziok, wellknown police officer, of 4037 TwentyThird Ave., So., Minneapolis, Minn. “I would have sick headaches; would belch, leaving a sour taste in my mouth; suffered a lot with gas on my stomach; had no appetite. “I had indigestion like that for over two years. Soda didn’t help and I tried many things before I heard about Pape’s Diapepsin, “It took me right out of my trouble. I have a mighty hearty appetite, eat pastry or anything I want and have no after-effects. I am never without Pape’s Diapepsin and recommend it to everyone I know.” If you suffer from indigestion, often or just occasionally, get a package of these candy-like tablets from your druggist. They stop heartburn, gas on stomach, belching, nausea, headaches or any other symptoms of indigestion soon as the trouble starts. They are harmless; form no habit; can be taken as often as needed.

FAMED DOCTOR HITS MEDICAL COURSEJ.ENGTH Mayo Tells Surgeons Training Dulls Most Students’ Minds. £ Science Service CHICAGO, Feb. 19.—Medical education takes too much time, declared Dr. William J. Mayo, of the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minn., in an address at the congress on medical education sponsored by the American Medical Association. The long period of from two to four years in university or college before beginning the medical course 1 dulls the young student’s mind and I makes the young physician almost 30 years old before he begins to practice, Dr. Mayo said. A possible remedy for the situation lies in the four-quarter system which would save two or more years, Dr. Mayo suggested. “Why should these young people at the strongest period of life con-

tinue In the educations! system of the grammar school?” he asked. Dr. Mayo questioned the wisdom of the prevalent system of examinations. "Unconsciously the instructor uses the degree as a club to compel the student to remember by a cramming process rathe;* than an understanding of the subjects taught,” he said. Dr. Mayo advised earlier contact with patients: more sympathetic understanding of the emotional suffering of patients and & period of general practice before entering a special field of medicine. Sclentfic research is valuable even If it does not produce great results, he said, because it stimulates the student’s imagination and his interest in his special subject.

committee, tries to commit the party to the repeal of prohibition. Senator Morrison of North Carolina, committee member, will oppose the committee’s taking any position, he indicated today. Morrison, however, is inclined to discount reports that Raskob wants the national committee to declare itself for repeal. Morrison, like Senates- Sheppard of Texas, feels that the Democrats should steer clear of any indorsement direct, or Indirect, of prohibition repeal. Sheppard asserts that the party will not go wet and he discounts what appears to be a change in Democratic sentiment on prohibition, Raskob is hopeful, it is understood, or having the national com-

mittee recognize that the party in the eastern states is going wet. Cheaper Gasoline Sought By Times Special NEWCASTLE.
