CRIME COSTING U. S. BILLION, HOOVER TOLD Ramifications ‘Too Vast’ to Unearth, Wickersham Body Finds. URGES FURTHER PROBE Racketeering Is Branded as •Most Costly of All’ in Nation. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 21—Crime costs the American people far more than $1,207,656,821 a year, the Wickershani commission disclosed today in its thirteenth report entitled “The cost of crime.” How much more, the commission declined to say. It found the ramifications of secret i 1 ’ il industries tbo vast and its own funds too short. It refused even to fix a definite minimum figure but it cited many items in the crime ledger, which, added together brought the total well over the billion mark. Some items were roughly estimated, some were frank guesses, while others—like the profits from racketeering—were left with a perplexing question me,-'- :n the tables of costs. Justice "Inefficient” A further investigation was recommended to determine the facts. The commission did convince itself definitely of many things, the most important of which were: The federal government is spending $52,786,000 a" year to administer justice to criminals. Three hundred cities are spending $247,700,000. ' ] Sixty-six per "cent of the federal expenditure goes for prohibition enforcement. Some unnamed cities have wasteful and inefficient criminal justice machinery. Hit at Prohibition An immediate investigation should he made into racketeering—which is called America's most costly mod- , ern crime. An investigation should be made to determine which cities are waste- j ful. With all its great expense, criminal justice machinery does not cost j too much. A weeding out of laws—eliminating unnecessary social restrictions — ! might well be undertaken as a measure of economy. Although the word prohibition is 1 not directly mentioned in that connection, the commission incorporated in its report the report of its leading investigator. Sidney P. Simpson of the New York bar, who said: Urges "Law Revisions” ‘ A part of the money now required to be expended in the administration of criminal justice is spent in the enforcement of statutes applying to conduc with which it is a matter of debate whether the people and the criminal courts are intrinsically fitted to deal, and which must, in some cases, at least, be regarded as outside the limits of effective legal action by means of the criminal law. "A thorough overhauling of our j criminal codes with a view to appraising the social advantage of such statutes and comparing that advantage, if any, with the cost of their administration would appear highly desirable from an economic standpoint.” Cites Tax Burden "It is clear, we think, that the cost of enforcing the criminal law would be less if it did not attempt to forbid and punish acts participated In by large numbers of otherwise law abiding citizens who do not regard such prohibited acts as •criminal’ except in a technical sense. However, the desirability of thus reducing the burden imposed on the taxpaying public by expenditures for criminal justice will undoubtedly be determined in the light of views as to social considerations with which we are not concerned in this report.” REHEARING ASKED IN BOMBING CASE Convicted Hammond Theater Man Appeals to Supreme Court. Attorneys for William Kleihege, owner of the State theater of Hammond and convicted in connection with the bombing of the theater, today petitioned for rehearing of both an appeal and coram nobis petition in the supreme court.

By United Press TOKIO, Aug. 21.—Mrs. Anne Morrow Lindbergh sat today on the sand beach of Muroton bay in the Kurile islands and cast homesick glances across the ocean, while her famous husband repaired the crippled airplane in which they were forced down on their flight from Siberia. , No mention was made by either of the fliers that Mrs. Lindbergh was homesick to see her baby in distant America, but sailors who helped drag the plane from the bay on to the beach said the far-away look in her eyes was unmistakable. While Lindbergh went to work at once to locate the motor trouble which had forced them down, Mrs. Lindbergh sat down upon the beach and stared first across the ocean and then at a magazine which lay opened in her lap. A sailor who peeked over her shoulder said the magazine was opened to a picture of a mother and her child.

President Hoover is offering no specific plans, the White House said, but will give Gifford and his advisers a free hand. From his New York office Gifford issued an appeal for formation of local relief agencies. His statement again emphasized Mr. Hoover’s general policy that these agencies must bear the brunt of the relief work, with the national organization co-ordinating their efforts and standing by to give assistance where necessary.

VAUGLAIN TURNS ON PROHIBITION Dry Supporter of Hoover Wants Law Change. By V ill led Press PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 21.—Any system would be better than the present prohibition system, in the opinion of Samuel M.

"I was in favor of prohibition when it was proposed to abolish the saloons,” he told the United Press today, “But after watching the way it has worked, I now am ready to vote for a change. "I suppose I’ll be accuse' 1 by the drys of being a hound. But I have not had a drink for so long that I forget what it tastes like. Anyway, we have so many long-haired men and short-haired women running the country.” Asked whether he would leave the Republican party if it remained dry, Vauclain refused comment. When it was suggested that economic conditions would be improved by increased employment if light wines and beer were restored, the white-haired executive classed the idea as "silly.” ROB GAS CITY BANK Four Men Beat Cashier, Escape With $5,000.

The big monoplane in which the Lindberghs are flying from Washington. D .C.. to Tokio, was pulled on to the beach today after the Japanese steamer Shinshiru Maru towed it twenty miles through cold, choppy seas, which frequently threatened to wreck the plane by battering it against the side of the steamer.

HUNT IN VAIN FOR JAPANESE MILLIONAIRE Tale of Love, Hate and Oriental Jealousy Is Revealed. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—A story of Oriental jealousy which resulted in a bitter quarrel between Hisahi Fujimura. Japanese importer, and his beautiful companion, Mary Reisner, former actress, was unfolded today as investigators visited the liner Belgenland seeking to gain information on the mystery of Fujimura’s disappearance from the liner last Friday. Jan Ribas, a sketch artist, occupied the cabin next to the millionaire Japanese importer on the fatal show boat cruise. The night before Fujimura’s disappearance, he told investigators, he was awakened by shouting and screaming in the importer’s cabin. Fujimura, he said, was angry. He berated the girl, ostensibly a governess for the importer’s young daughter, for alleged transfer of her affections to a member of her own race. Ribas said he heard the girl scream, as if in pain. Then the following morning Ribas told J. Edward Lumbard, an assistant United States attorney, Fujimura was missing from his cabin. Ribas had made a sketch aboard of the Japanese importer, a married man whose family resides- at Norwalk, Conn. Ribas said "he called at the cabin at 7 a. m., the morning the boat docked from its "show boat cruise.” Fujimura was gone. He has not been reported seen since. The story the sketch artist told to the assistant district attorney varied widely from that reported told by the beautiful blond show girl. She had been quoted as saying she last saw Fujimura at dinner the night before the ship docked. Moved in Gay Crowd It was a gay circle in which Fujimura and the show girl moved aboard the vessel, passengers told the investigators. There was poker for* high stakes, it was said, and Fujimurta was a regular attendant at these poker games. Mrs. Reisner moved in the gay dancing and social set, the passengers said. She was popular with the men—of her own race—on the vessel. There was considerable drinking engaged in by Mrs. Reisner and Fujimura. but neither ever was seen intoxicated, passengers said. The night before the boat docked, according to Ralph Melani one of the entertainers, Fujimura engaged in a “heavy” poker game. Doubt Suicide Theory With only two solutions to the mystery—murder or suicide—detectives sought for possible motives for self-destruction and found none. It was argued that if Fujimura had contemplated suicide, he would not have taken his 7-year-old daughter on the trip. On the other hand, the possibility of murder suggested itself strongly for several possible motives—revenge, racial hatred, or jealousy.

STEVE VERDICT BELIEVED NEAR Supreme Court May Act on Appeal Monday. Decision in the D. C.

Martin of the court announced today that judges will resume the bench on that day “to consider some pending matters.” The court now is on summer vacation, which lasts until Oct. 1.

No Clothes Left Today, Nieman said, neither he nor his wife had any clothes additional to those they were wearing Wednesday when they returned home to find their house had been entered. Nieman told the bureau he had lived in the house two months, paying the first month’s rent in advance. He said the second rent payment was due Aug. 15, but he was unable to meet it. According to Nieman he offered to pay the owner a few days later, but they missed connections.

FACEToWDER ‘WICKED’; IRATE_FARMER RIOTS Slashes Wife During Rampage: Jailed for Sixty-Day Term. By United Press MARINETTE, Wis.. Aug. 21.—The 14-year-old daughter of Frank Bielak, Wausaukee, returned from a visit to Chicago with powder on her face and a reserve supply in a compact. Enraged at what he considered •‘devilish arts,” Bielak slashed his wife’s face, cut up a SSO harness and broke the singletree on his wagon. To neighbors, who subdued his rampage, Bielak said: "Let them keep face powder and such wickedness in the cities. We want our girls kept pure.” He was sentenced to sixty days in the county workhouse.

ologist of Marquette university, Milwaukee, who performed an autopsy, had led to an earlier belief that the victim was Mrs. Josephine Hanson, Kenosha divorcee, but Ben Bull, her foster father, and Harry Peterson, Waukegan, 111., their cousin, said the body was not Mrs. Hanson’s. Still earlier attempts had been made to identify the victim as the wife of Harry Morris, alias J. A. Camden, Chicago bootlegger, who was found murdered near Red Wing, Minn., last Monday. That theory had been discarded completely today. Why the victim's beaded, winecolored party dress was a garment that fit so badly that It obviously was not hers puzzled detectives, as did the fact that she was without shoes or stockings.

All day Thursday John’s body lay on a slab in the morgue. A reporter and patrolman discovered the shrapnel wounds. Finally, from one of his beneficiaries at the mission, his identity was learned. He was John J. Fitzgerald, 42, of Boston, Mass.

SUIT IS FILED TO FORECLOSE ON ST. CAR CO. New York Bank Brings Action in $4,000,000 Mortgage Case. AID TO REORGANIZATION Way Now Open to Proceed for Rehabilitation of System. Way for reorganization of the Indianapolis street railway system was paved today with the filing of a suit to foreclose a $4,000,000 mortgage on the railway company's property. The suit, filed in circuit court Thursday by the Central Hanover Bank and Trust Company of New York, is a complaint against the Indianapolis Street Railway Company and more than forty other defendants. It seeks to foreclose a mortgage executed by the Citizens Street Railway Company on May 1. 1893, securing $4,000,000 of forty-year 5 per cent first mortgage bonds. The Central Hanover company is trustee for these bonds. Others Made Defendants The complaint further makes defendants of all parties having any interest in the properties of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company or the Traction Terminal Company defendants for the purpose of having cross complaints filed for the establishment of ail hens upon all the properties. The amounts of securities eventually to be foreclosed on the prop- : erty total $18,181,000 as follows: Citizens Street Railway Company, $4,000,000; Indianapolis Street Railway Company, $4,r90.000; Indiant apolis and Traction Terminal ComI pany, $3,206,000; Broad Ripple Tracl tion Company. $285,000; Indianapolis and Traction Terminal's notes, $700,000; Indianapolis Street Railway collateral notes for purchase of bus lines, $500,000: class of unsecured creditors approximating $300,000; Indianapolis Street Railway preferred stock, $5,000,000.

Taylor, Indianapolis attorn- | ey, who filed the suit. Other at- ! torneys in the suit are Larkin, Rathbone and Perry of New York. Reorganization plans provide for | the expenditure of approximately $5,000,000 to rehabilitate the system. Committees Are Named Each class of stockholers already have organized protective commlt- : tees and these have agreed on the reorganization plan. If the properties are foreclosed, sold and bought, as agree to under the reorganization plan, the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal property on Illinois street will pass under a separate organization of its own. All of the other street railway properties in the city will be reorganized under a separate organization. The terminal property now is covered by a separate mortgage by a separate corporation. Asa part of the street railway property, all of the bus lines operated by the street railway company likewise will be sold and included in the reorganization plan. Intcrurbans Are Included All interurban lines entering the city are made party defendants to the complaint filed, in order that their rights may be determined through the litigation. The complaint recites that the Citizens’ company mortgage being foreclosed is the first and prior lien on all the property of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company. It charges that default was made in the payment of interest due on Mav 1, 1930, Nov. 1, 1930, and May 1, 1931. A receiver also is asked in the complaint and the impounding of the income of the railway company for the benefit of the bondholders. 101 "RANCH GOES WEST Wild West Show Permitted to Move as Judge Quashes Suits.
