TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1927 [FIGURES ARE |! } QUOTED FROM URIME SURVEY Comparatively Few Cases Ever Reach Courts, Pro- fessor Bruce States eat iene, ML, March 8—(AP)—Chi- {¢ago, with its machine gun gangs, is ® pap behind Kansas at and. St. ls in the number of homicides, _ Judge Andrew A, Bruce, professor of law at Northwestern University, de- clared here today at a conference on crime. He quoted figures from a crime survey of the cities, which he helped to make. : It showed, he declared, that the | deficiency in administration of crim- inal law is almost as marked in the small towns and in the country dis- tricts as in the large cities. Courts and juries, he asserted, should not receive all blame for the crime situation, He said that, com- paratively speaking, only a handful of cases ever get to court. Only sixteen per cent of murder cases in St. Louis, he said, was fol- lowed by punishment of any kind. Further figures .from the survey placed the punishment after rob- ries at four per cent in St. Louis; after burglaries, four cent; larcenies, two per cent; embezzlements 4 1-2 per cent. In Kansas City In Kansas City, he said, twelve per cent of the murderers were pun- ished; robberies, 6 1-2 per cent, and burglaries, two per cent. Robbery by juvenile delinquents in St. Louis increased from 1920 to 1924 by more than 600 per cent, he declared. “In St. Louis between October,| 1923, and October, 1924, 149 cases of murder and manslaughter were reported by the police to the state’s attorney, who acts there! without a grand jury; but in these/ cases, on account of the failure of} the volice to identify and arrest the} suspect, only 53 warrants were ap- plied for. refused, evidently because of the in- sufficiency of the evidence, and at the trials there were only 26 convic- in the other offenses the differ- | ence between the reported offenses and the arrests and convictions is even more startling. In the case of burglaries, 2701 alleged offenses werg reported to the police, 266 war- rantx were applied for, 49 were re- fused. and there were onlv 107 con- siction Of robberies, 2075 were pecvea, v79 warrants were applied for, and only 85 persons were convicted. The other crimes were in like pro- portion. In all there were’ 13,444 major crimes reported to the police and there were only 374 persons punished.

As far as robbery is eqncerned they are 24 to 1 against conviction in St. Louis, and 28 to 1 in Kansas City. - “It is also to be remembered that the number of cases reported to the police in the cities mentioned repre- sent only about 40 per cent of the felonies committed—the remainder, if reported at all, being reported direct te the atate’s nttorney—and that no Bdequate records seem to be kept of| wi IN NEW YORK a New York, March 8.—See-sawing up and down Broadway, 1 note the latest European visitor is none other than Jacob Wasserman, perhaps Ger- outstanding novelist and one world’s leading realists. .

The main features about the new studio are the changes made in its interior to make the room entirely soundproof. Inside walls are made of celotex, with an inch air space be tween them and the outer walls. A heavy carpet over an inch thick cov- ers the floor. At the windows are hung heavy plush drapings and every precaution has been taken so that there will be Ro echoes to interfere with broad- casting. The studio is decorated in a color scheme of battleship grey with maho- gany trimmings. It is arranged for three microphones, outlets being pro- vided on the baseboards. A telephone provides connection between the studio and the broad- casting station and a pilot light shows when the studio microphones are “on the air” so that artists will know when to begin, Ail microphones are controlled from the announcer’s desk, as are other controls. Arrangements have been completed so that the program can be shifted from remote control to the studio immediatel; Hl 'y evening at 215, the organ overture being sent out by remove control.

Dormitories Grand Forks, March 8—()—All University of North Dakota fresh- men will be required to live in Uni- versity dormitories beginning with the fall of 1928, according to plans dependent upon the erection of a dormitory under the conditions. out- lined in the Schlosser-Hamilten bills which passed the North Dakota Teg- islature. R University authorities have’ long hoped to make this rule, in order to bring the freshman student into more intimate touch with. University life, but lack of dormitory 1 has made it impossible up to date. A new dormitory will enable them to make the rule, One bill provides for the forma- tion of building’ asseciations for the purpose of building dormitories at state education institutions. Bonds are to be floated and the rent from the new dormitory is to be pledged to retire the interest and principal ‘on the amortization plan. The other bill defines the scope and powers of such an association. The dormitory planned for the Uni- versity will probably be completed by the fall of 1928, according to J. W. Wilkerson, business manager of the university. It will be used for wom- en students with Davis Hall, now a women’s dormitory, being turned over to men.

The Senate Ladies’ Luncheon club meets promptly at 1 m. each Tuesday in the senate office build- ing, just to the right of the capitol where the senate husbands toil and delve for their country. The senate wives are supposed to be there before the appointed hour. For the law of the Washington Medes | Persians reads that underlings must be in their places before the First Lady appears. “Do Let's Be Sensible™ Mrs, Coolidge herself, tale has it, is no stickler for the court etiquette of the land. Dignified observance, whenever possible, is her code, but do let's be sensible! One of the senate wives tells of the First Lady's settling of two! little fussy matters, { There was the matter of making reservations for the luncheon. Once upon a time it was necessary for the ‘senator's wife to take her pen in hand and write a very formal re-; gret or acceptance in best Emily Post manner. “Let's just send out cards with a 'Yes’ or ‘No’ line,” said Mrs. Cool- idge, “and we'll put crosses in the ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ blunk, and there we are!” The Best Boarding House Style It was the First Lady, too, who decreed that “great big girls like us are certainly capable of waiting on ourselves.
