‘crime increases or decreases in the; ‘PAGE TWO FRENCH IMPORT | BRITISH BOOZE, TOLOWER PRICE Paris, Sept. 19.—The French govern- ment has been compelled to permit, the importation into France of a limit- | ed amount of whiskey and gin so as} to satisfy the demands of the tourists | here from foreign countries. Such’ imports had been prohibited since the | war and,as a result, the price of} cocktails and highballs soared in pro-/ portion as the supply of gin and} whiskey diminished. | Foreigners residing here have made desperate efforts to obtain good} whiskies from England and Scotland! and: have « been compelled to pay) extremely high ‘prices for it. Reports of a great amount of smuggling indi- cate that the foreigners have about as | much difficulty obtaining their favor- | ite brand of whiskey as ‘they do in America. The government realized that after) the tourist: season began it was losing | a large amount in duties. The; Minister’ of Finance, therefore, was | authorized to permit hotels, restaur- | ants and cafes to import enough spiritual ‘liquor to satisfy the demands | of their foreign clients. Only si places as are frequented by foreigners | however, can obtain permits for such | imports. | t DELAYED TRIALS. INCREASE CRIME Cincinnati, O., Sept. 19—The history of organized government demon- strates that the speedy trial of crim- inal cases and the swift and certain| punishment of criminals effects a re- duction inthe ‘¥olume of crime, E W. Sims, (president of the’ Ch Crime Commission told the Ame ‘Bar association at its meeting her recently. | “On the other hand,” Mr. Sims con-| tinued, “increased crime folle closely on the héels of delayed triais | and: deferred ‘punishment. In short, proportion that punishment is switt | and-certain. The speed with which a crime is punished has a great deal} more to do with the preservation of Jaw and order than the severity of} punishment. “Criminal laws bear close analogy to natural laws. A child puts its hand in the fire but once. One experience is sufficient: It is not necessary that the injury be severe. “Existing criminal laws in America are the evolution of centuries of prac- | tical experience. ‘As’ they have been developed they are invaluable. There; are those, however, who attack the| theory of punishment and who, con- tending that crime is a disease, rec- ommend and urge that punishment be abolished and some other form ‘of| treatment substituted. It is a great! mistake to in any way interfere with, | impede or hamper the enforcement: of existing laws which have been centur- | ies: in development, at least until the; experiment has been thoroughly test- | ed and found to be practical. | “Three years ago the Chicago As- | sociation of Commerce appointed and; financed a Crime ‘Commission. It | does not’ of itself undertake the ap-| prehension nor the prosecution of criminals. The commission limits its} activity to an investigation of crimes! of violence, murder, burglary and rob-| bery. It early reached the conclusion; that crime flourished — because crim= | inals escaped punishment and that the principal avenue of escape was the | delay in the’ trial of criminal cases. | “The commission was organized in| the year 1919. ‘Data collected for that! year showed there were 110 murders| to one million_of population in Chi- ago as against nine to the million in| Great Britain and thirteen to the mil- lion in Canada. This meant that dur- ing the year 1919, there were more| murders in Chicago, with a popula- tion of 3,000, ‘than in the British Isles with a p lation of 40,000,000. “For years Great Britain and Can- ada, murder cases have been general- ly disposed of within 60 or 90 days. in American cities there are practi- | cally ro murder cases being tried | within 90 days. | “On April 1, 1920, 185 persons pre-| viously’ indicted for murder were| awaiting trial in Chicago. In 104) cases the accused were at liberty on bond. The situation was brought to the attention of the courts and’ of-| ficials by the Crime Commission with the result that four judges then in the Civil Courts volunteered to sit in the | Criminal Court and try cases until | the murder docket was cleared. The trial’ of these cases resulted in the sentencing of twelve to hang and! twelve to the penitentiary for from one year to life. “The effect on the number of mur- ders in Chicago: was electrical. Im- mediately the murder rate there drop-| ped 51. per cent, where it has since | remained. The record for the first seven months of each of the last three | years is, as follows: ‘1919, 232; 1920, 87; 1921, 91. “In compiling its report on continu- ances, the Chicago Crime Commission , Tan across a Case, and in December 1919, eight and one-half years after the crime was committed, the defend- | ant was placed on trial. The evidence | seemed to be convincing, and the case was ably presented by the prose- | cuting attorney, notwithstanding -which the jury returned a verdict of ‘not guilty.’ “The jurors, in explaining how they. came to reach that verdict in the face | of the evidence presented, stated that | they felt there was some reason| which was being withheld from them| for the nearly nine-year delay, and that under such peculiar circum- Btances they concluded to return a! verdict of ‘not guilty.’” | Over 700 Towns.

FAYE BAINTER COMING TO BISMARCK IN “EAST IS WEST” AT AUDITORIUM Theater goers will be offered a treat Fay Bainter in “Hast 1s West,” at the Auditorium, Tuesday, Sept. 27. This is the comedy in three acts and a prologue by Samuel Shipman and! John B. Hymer which remained for two ye at the Astor theater in New York, Since the conclusion of ii York engagement “East is Wes! had long runs in Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago. In these metropolitan centers the play was .ccorded enthus- iastic public approval as an entertain- ment of unusual quality. “East Is West” tells the story of Ming Toy, a little girl wlio was found on a Love-Boat on the Yang Tse river in China, and at the| bequest of an American boy was purchased by al Chinese merchant of San Francisco and taken to that city. ‘There she lives with her merchant protector very hap- pily for an entire year. Her presence in the house, however, excites a cer- ‘tain reform organization and in order to avoid a scandal the merchant ar- ranges to put her in charge of an American Chinese who is very wealthy. The boy who originally saved the little girl appears on the scene just in time to have her taken to the home ‘Mt his parents as maid to his sister There she wins the-hearts of the fam- ily and all visiting iriends. Mean- while the interest which the boy has taken in the Chinese maid has grown into a genuine love which is recipro- cated. The Chinese who was to have taken her from the merchant is great- ly disappointed and plans, with the aid of some Tong men, to abduct her. His plans are nullified and the girl at last safely finds a haven with her American sweetheart. “Hast Is West” was staged by Clif- ford Brook and the elavorate settings Iowa State college here. Iowa is surrounded by seven prin- cipal live stock markets and has eleven. minor packing centers within the borders of the state or only a short distance outside. The first operative live stock shipping as: tion in the state was formed at Postville, Allamakee coun- ty, in 1904. For several years growth of the movement was confined to coun- ties in the northeastern part of the state. In 1916, twelve years later, there were but 57 active associations, In 1919 andn 1920 popular enthusiasm became general, 130 associations he- ing formed in 1919 and’311 being formed in 1920, making a total of 610 separate ass tions now in opera- are trom the studio of Livingston Platt. é tion. th | Available figures indicate a move- ment of 181,224 cars of live stock from all shipping points in the state in 1920. It is estimated that 49,754 cars were handled by cooperative associations, or approximately 27.5 per cent of the total business of the state for the year. The average value of a car is reported at $2,076.74., indicating that cooperatives handled s to the value of $103,326,121.96 in 1920, The cooperatives are still in the early formative stage, however, and in many instances no distinction is made between members and non-members, except that the association charges the non-member a_ higher rate | for handling his live stock.

New York Woman Bags Many Big Beasts Of African Jungle London, Sept. 19.—If you're a wo- man troubled with “nerves.” try hunt- ing the lion and the gentle rhinvceres for a cure. Mrs. Alexander Dalziel of New York did it. She is now in London, on her way back trom a perilous trip thivugh the East African jungie. Mrs. Dalziel’s quest ior health was not exactly healthy ‘tor the inhabitants of the jungle, for her “pag” included one elephant, two rhinoceros, three hippoptami and seven lions. “It was really a heaith trip from first to last,” said Mrs, Dalziel. “Big game hunting aiwvays appealed to me, and when the doctors said had to take a trip’for my health— something that would take me out of myself—there was no doubt in my mind what that something was to be.

If we had been. right in its path.I shudd to think what would have happened to us.” $ Another time she shot a lion just as | it leaped at her. It struck the ground dead. Mrs. Dalziel: thinks that big game hunting is an ideal sport for women. “I know :of nothing better nerves,” she said, ‘and now in the future when I feel tha: < want a rest and a ‘change I shall fly from the noise and the hustle of New York to seek peace and quietness in the Afri- can jungle among the ‘icns and other inhabitants.” No. 77+859.

A stunt contest betweeen Miss Elsie Allan, an American aviatrix and Mile. Andree Peyre, a French flier, would decide. Both have thrilled folks with their startling stunts on the wings of flying airplanes, thousands of feet up. Miss Allen hails from Grand Island, Neb. and is much prouder of her prowess as a plane pilot that she is of the spectacular feats that she pulls off. Her specialty is a wing-walking act, While an airplane is’ whizzing along at 90 miles an hour, she mounts to the top of the plane, via a rope lad- der, and takes a stroll along the upper wing. Descending, she sits on the outer edge of the lower wing, waves to those below, and then hangs on to the plane braces while the’ pilot goes through 3 series of tail-spins, loops and glides. Miss Allen became a flier just a year ago. { MLLE.
