Dr. Wilson was interrupted a num- ber of times during his impassioned appeal for prohibition with expres- sions of disagreement from the audi- ence. Mr. Darrow was greeted with prolonged applause, and frequent out- bursts of laughter and approval. “I am very strongly against prohi- bition,” he said, “because I like to take a drink and because I want to mind my own business. I object to any organization of preachers or other highbinders getting together and telling me what I can't do.” Dr. Wilson urged that prohibition be given the same chance for success given the liquor traffic during its approximately 140 years of legalized existence in America. “We've had 10 years of prohibition, mostly under the wets,” he said. “Prohibition has given us the great- est cleanup in American politics of any single movement in the history of our country. It was intended to annihilate the license system, and has ended the system.

For eight years Mrs. Schmidt has been attending night classes at the Kent College of Law—five nights a week most of the time. It wasn't as though she had to, for beginning in poverty she has risen to the head of a million-dollar costume business and an Evanston estate. “I merely took the course to im- prove my mind.” she said, “and make myself fit for the many things I plan to do in the future. When I use my knowledge of law it will be in doing simple, helpful things for the good of humanity.” Mrs. Schmidt spoke no English when she came here, but the night schools changed that. Now she lec- tures frequently on the history of women's dress, being regarded as an authority on period design and dress.

Tallman denied any knowledge of the crime.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | Hoover Makes Dry Law Enforcement Request CRIME COMMISSION MERTS 10 MAP OUT POLIGIES, PROGRAM Plans for Curbing of Lawless- | ness Ready for Considera- | tion at Conference TO STUDY AVAILABLE bbe ‘Crank’ and ‘Nut’ Suggestions | Galore Received; Helpful | Suggestions Few Washington, June 6.—(?)—Secre- | tary Mellon was the first high govern- | ment official to present his views on America’s crime and lawlessness Problems today before President Hoo- ver'’s national commission on law ob- servance and enforcement. The commission called a number of government officials to present their views. The names of the other offi- cials were not disclosed. While the session was behind closed doors, Mr. Mellon was under- stood to have mainly presented his views on the enforcement of the pro- hibition and narcotic laws which come under the jurisdiction of the treasury department. Called for its second series of meetings since its organization, it had a nine-room suite of offices in a building near the department of justice at its disposal, and scores of government surveys and statis- tical studies and hundreds of letters from all parts of the country propos- ing various plans for the curbing of lawlessness were ready for its con- sideration. Conferences with a num- ber of government officials inter- ested in its problems also had been arranged. The commission proposed as one of its first steps in the formulation of its inquiry into crime causes and lawlessness to make an exhaustive study of all available data bearing upon those subjects which it can obtain from governmental and other agencies. The deluge of Ictters and tcle- grams which has been descending daily upon the commission has con- tained many “crank” or “nut” sug- gestions for law enforcement. But on the other hand, commission offi- cials declared a number of valuable suggestions had Leen offered by pri- vate citizens in this way While prohibition is one of the uppermost problems before the com- mission, its survey is not to be cen- tered on any single source of crime or lawlessness, according to its mem- bers the sale of narcotics, the in- crease of murders and robberies in large cities, and sociological prob- lems brought about by large crim- inal groups, are among other situa- tions to be investigated. The commission is expected to de- cide during its meetings, which prob- ably will last until the end of the week, on the question whether to conduct public hearings in the larger cities of the country. r Foundling Found 1 | On Mott Doorstep | > ° (Tribune Special Service) Mott, N.

MURDER Son of Mrs. Cassler Calls Farm-| er ‘Liar’ After Being Held as an Accessory Valparaiso, Ind. June 6—%— Lieutenant John Norton and Sergeant Al Booth, homicide experts of the Chicago police department, today came to the aid of Porter county au- thorities in’ the investigation of the slaying of Miss Cameola Soutar, for whose death Mrs. Catherine Cassler, 40 year old Chicago matron, has been charged with murder. Both officers are well acquainted with Mrs. Cassler through working on the previous murder case in which she was involved and later sentenced to death. She obtained a new trial and was released last month, after 27 | months of imprisonment. The homicide experts will center their attention in a search for the weapon with which Miss Soutar was killed. Mrs. Cassler was given an oppor- tunity yesterday to consider quietly her position while investigators under Coroner E. H. Miller concerned them- selves with her adopted son, Edward. 19, who they believe assisted his foster mother in either slaying Miss Soutar or disposing of the body. Young Cassler contradicted himself several times, officials said. A farm- er declared that he had towed Ed- ward and Mrs. Cassler when their au- tomobile stuck in a mudhole near the swamp two years ago. “That man is a liar,” young Cass- ler said after the farmer concluded his statement. No charges have been against young Cassler. Mrs. Cassler is charged with murder. Her pre- liminary hearing will be held tomor- row.
