CROWDED STATE ASYLUMS PERIL, JUDQE ASSERTS Forced to Turn Criminal Insane Back Into Society’s Stream. Indiana faces grave danger because of feeble-minded criminals, Judge Frank P. Baker of criminal court disclosed today in an appeal, for social legislation to curb the peril. A prisoner who was in Marion county jail nine months and four days, while the court awaited permission to put him in the institution for feeble-minded was released by Baker Monday. Baker declared he wrote several letters to Charles A. McGonagle, superintendent of the Ft. Wayne state school, only to have the application of Freeman Pursley, the prisoner, denied. “Officials say the place is overcrowded. We have investigated, finding that is true. There are ninety applications on the waiting list at present,” Baker said. ‘ The place for such criminals is the Muscatatuck farm colony near Butlcrville, operated in connection ■with the school for feeble-minded, but it is crowded beyond capacity. “These are the type of criminals responsible for the worst kind of attacks upon small girls. They don’t belong at Michigan City, although I have been forced to send eeveral there.” An 18-year-old boy, Herbert JohnRon, who pleaded guilty to twentyfive robberies,, was sent to the Michigan City prison hospital last ,week for treatment. Another feeble-minded youth, brought into court on a charge of attacking a 13-year-old school girl in West Indianapolis, recently was released to custody of his father. When admittance to the state institution was found impossible, the father promised the court to take the youth to a farm in southern Indiana. Judge Baker takes the view that It is socially wrong to give a boy a criminal record and force him to live with hardened criminals when he is not responsible for his acts.

HIGH HAT IS THIS MAN CHARLES KING A Personality Who Has the Right Idea When It Comes to Giving a Program of Melody. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN HERE is a high hat man with a walking stick and all that which takes one back to the days of real theater. When Charles King was on the stage, I had the thought something like this: “Can it be possible that a singer of songs can get these results?” Here was a man all dressed up. He even had a high hat and even a cane.

Dressed up like he is, he sang the things that has made him famous on the stage and screen. The fact is, I was not prepared to like him. He is no Romeo to see. He walks

most of the time he is singing. But the melody is there. Charles King must have made a picture that will live. He is winn in g in vaudeville with much less than many others. But this man has the quality of success on the stage. And there was no reason in advance for me even lik-

James Cagney

ing him. He is getting results of wide appeal. There is an idea of studied novelty in the offering of Jean Bedinl. He has numerous people with him. but he knows how to juggle plates and make those with him get results. In the Zeilda Brothers, we have an acrobatic team of much talent. FTank Salerno with his accordion relies upon melody to put him over. Most of us want James Cagney to be a star. He will never be if he keeps on with such vehicles as “Taxi.” It isn’t so much Cagney and his method of work, but rather the director who could not get results.

This play is not effective unless a treadmill is used to put on the race scene. I saw this play last night and the long waits, coupled with elimination of a scene and words, made this play less than ordinary. Many scenes are needed to put this show on.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SENATE SPLITS OVER BILLS FOR HUNGERJiELIEF Republicans Expected to Present Substitute Measures. BY RUTH FINNEY Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Republican senators who oppose the La Follette-Costigan federal hunger relief bill will present one or more substitutes if the Democratic Walsh-Black-Bulkley substitute bill is defeated, it was learned today. This fact, the first open acknowledgment by administration men that aid of some kind must be given the needy by the federal government, indicates that a relief bill will pass the senate. At the same time, it made prediction as to the nature of that bill extremely difficult. Senator Couzens YRep., Mich.) will propose appropriation of $375,000,000 for expenditure by President HodVer for relief where needed. Another proposal to make $50,000,000 available for unemployment relief work by the Red Cross, is being discussed. Democratic conservatives probably will find it easier to oppose these measures than the uriginal relief bill, which puts administration of the act in the hands of a federal board, and gives it power to allocate funds to the states. The new bills may serve to swing enough Democratic votes to the La Follette-Costigan bill to assure its success or they may lead to a general compromise. Meanwhile there seemed to be no prospect of a vote in the next few days. Senator Black (Dem., Ala.)

attacked the La Follette-Costigan relief bill Monday and Bulkley is scheduled to carry on the fight today. Black urged that “the gentls hands of neighbors be allowed to cool the fevered brow of the needy “rather than” the coolness anu callousness of a far-off bureau in Washington." He charged that the bill would create “a swarm of federal agents and snoopers” to investigate state charities. Senator Walsh (Dem., Mont.) announced for his colleagues’ acceptance of the Pittman amendment, provided that if states fail to repay the, ‘loans’" which the substitute proposes for them, deductions shall be made from the amounts due them under the federal aid road building plan. The attitude of the White House toward the whole subject remained obscure today. Unless one of the Republican substitutes represents a changed attitude on the part of the President, whatever measure is adopted probably will have to withstand a presidential veto.
