CRIMINAL LAW CODE BRANDED AID TO CROOKS Anti-Crime Group Meeting Attended by Out-of-Town Representatives. Representatives of many Indiana cities met Thursday at the Ciaypool with the Indianapolis committee, an organization dedicated to the purpose of strengthening the fight against crime in the state. Purpose of the meeting was to promote similar organizations throughout the state which may be welded with the local group in one potent state-wide anti-crime unit. The three immediate and definite purposes of the committee are to simplify the criminal code to permit speedy and effective justice, to reorganize police forces on a permanent basis remote from politics, and to revise prison management methods. Chief speaker was Kenneth L. Ogle, chairman and founder of the Indianapolis Committee. He urged immediate work in behalf of a state committee which would be powerful enough to arouse interest in and educate the average voter in the crime problem. Pointing to the fact that similar organizations have sprung up spontaneously in other states, and to the immediate and wide-spread support which has greeted the Indianapolis committee, he urged speedy promotion of the state organization. He said that the present time was especially favorable because the public is aroused by the Diliinger affair and recent escapes from the Michigan City penitentiary. He said that police problems had become no less than those of an army fighting skirmishes, but notwithstanding this, patrolmen and officers were woefully underpaid and undertrained. He asserted that the criminal code has become nothing less than a vehicle for the protection of the criminal. Mr. Ogle expressed hope that immediate nonpartisan political action could be taken to improve prevailing crime conditions, and announced that the Indianapolis Committee had received responses from more than two-thirds of the Indiana county seats in its request for formation of allied organizations.

BABY ORANG-UTAN SUCCUMBS: VICTIM OF MOTHER'S LOVE

Bv United Prat CHICAGO. May 12. —Betty Orang-Utang was dead today, victim of a too ardent love on the part of her own mother. The two-pound infant, fourth orang-utang born in the United States, died of malnutrition. Attendants at the Lincoln Park zoo said that nervous concern of Nancy, the baby’s mother, caused a failure of milk. Artificial feeding was impossible because of the zealous manner in which the 100-pound parent guarded her offspring against intruders. Keepers feared the baby would be killed if they attempted to take it from the cage. Floyd Young, zoo director, said that Nancy had attempted to feed Betty yesterday by carrying milk in her mouth from a pan provided for •-t own use. “The baby seemed to take the milk,” said Young, “but it probably was the wrong kind or insufficient in quantity. After the baby died Nancy stared at her in her arms awhile, laid her down, then picked her up and rocked her almost as a human mother would. It took us almost two hours to entice her to an end of the cage so we might get the body.” CHICAGOAN DOES HIS COURTING AT AIRPORT Wooing Stewardess on Airplane Proves Public Affair.

He flew from Detroit to Floyd Bennett field in 1 hour 47 minutes and 21 seconds. The previous record, between Detroit and Newark airport, was 2 hours 26 minutes. Turner said his Wedell-Williams monoplane, with anew 1,000-horse power Hornet motor, reached 340 miles an hour for a considerable distance. Roscoe .Turner, holder of both east and west coast-to-coast flight records and many other speed honors, has accepted the post of official starter for the 500-mile race here and will send the thirty-three cars away on their search for gold and-glory, Memorial Day. "I will be delighted to send your men of speed on their way on Decoration Day with plenty of luck because I know how much they need it,” said Turner in accepting the position of official starter. Famous men of speed have always been called upon to handle the main flags for the 500-mile race. Gar Wood, holder of the world’s speedboat record, officiated as starter last year. Captain Alcock and Lieutenant Brown, with two black cats, were the first human beings to span the Atlantic by air, in 1919.
