. P CRIME PREVENTION I METHODS SCORED Psychiatrist Tells Doctors Breaking of Spirit in Prison Is Wrong. Taking issue with the modern method of crime prevention by means of rigid punishment of the criminaj and the “breaking down” of the spirit of men by the restrictions laid down in prisons, Dr. Harry J. Crawford, a member of the staff of psychiatrists at Callinger Municipal Hospital, told a group of visiting physiclans at the hospital today that the problem of crime prevention should be attacked through the juvenile courts. This method falling, the proper method approach to crime prevention is through psychiatric work on the criminal himself in prison. Dr Crawford's talk was part of a cynical session held In connection with the meetings of the American Congress on Internal Medicine. Clinics were held at all the hospitals during the day, with discussion of many medical subjects ranging In scope from psyehiatric treatment of the criminal to surgers Dr. Crawford still has the old con goat method of punishment. that by reerating the guilty person in prison the sins of the race will be purged. “In punishing the criminal” Dr. Crawford eald, “man is not trying to get rid of sin in the abstract, he is trying to get rid of that sin which he fecls is resident in himself. The crim- inal becomes a handy object upon which he can transfer his sins by punishment and he deludes himself into a feeling of vighteous indignation. aid the human race eption of the scape- believing Procedure Declared Costly. “The breaking of men by punish ment is a very costly procedure. The history of punishment shows that the severity of punishment on the whole has had little influence on crime pre- ventlon. It does society no good be- cause it insures the continual failure of the criminal after his discharge from prison, with all that means. )n the whole, however, the treat- ment of the insane in countles has been far better in recent vears than in the past,”” he said. “Removal of hospitals from politics, control of the hospital in the hands of a physician training schools for nurses, placing of physiclans under civil service and promotion on the merit system are some of the causes for better treat- ment of the insane. Dr. Crawford declared there can be no arbitrary tion of the criminal as criminal,” he sald “Is one who has been pronounced by due process of law guilty of an offense which the law deems to be a crime. "We know nothing of a criminal ws so classified, we only know of society's attitude toward them. Causes May Vary. A man may perform a theft under influence of the prodormal stage of paresis, another may start under the excitement of a hypomanic at- tack, another as a result of moral delinquency, another under the in- fluence of alcoholic intoxication. Nothing in common could be expected rom such a group because the out- ward act was the same. “Then the next step we see, some philanthropically inclined person is measuring up by physical and mental standards the members of the group, and as a result we are told the char- acteristics of the thief in the ab- stract, as if there were any such thing. Both criminals and insane are socially inadequate.” Dr. J. A. Gannon, chief of staff of the Gallinger Hospital, conducted a group of visitors through the wards of the big municipal hospital, point- ing out interesting cases and unfold- ing the development of municipal hos- pital work in Washington. Gallinger, he said, has on Its staff 65 physicians and surgeons of the very highest standing in Washington, most of whom are available on call and with- out pay, day or night, to conduct the free work of the hospital. Some of the most interesting sur- gical work which a surgeon can un- dertake comes in the free hospitals, Dr. Gannon sald, benefiting the com- munity and at the same time adding to the store of medical knowledge by practical treatment. Dr. Gannon pointed out several in- teresting cases in the hospital, par- ticularly one in which the heart ac- tion of a patient was not strong enough to pump blood to the skin. As a result gangrene has set in, a condi- tion which cannot be stopped, and the patient is doomed to die. AnotNer case had a combination of enlarged thyroid gland and acute diabetes. Dixtrict Residents Honored. Research into diabetes was contin- ued from the intensive study at clini- cal sesslons esterday by a lecture by Drs. W. J. Mallory and F. G. Speidel today at George Washington University Hospital. Dr. John Ladd of Washington told the congress yesterday that the pub- lic should ascertain the facts regard- ing the practice of various cults out- side the medical profession, declaring that such practitione: are reaping rich harvests by claiming miraculous nature cures in certain diseases. Nineteen residents of Washington were given llowships in the Ameri- can College of Physicians at a dinner at the Mavflower Hotel last night. ‘They included Secretary of the In- terfor Work, Rear Admiral E. R Stitt, Surgeon General Hugh S. Cum- ming and Surgeon General Merritt Treland. the FRENCH SOCIALISTS ASK STATE TO WORK MINES Would Revoke All Concessions by Bill Now Before the Chamber. By the Associated Press PARIS, March 13—Deputy Dura- four, together with 100 other mambers of the chamber, mostly Soclalists, has introduced a bill for the natlonaliza- tion of all mines, whether subject to concessions or not, and all mineral or fossil substances above or under the ground in France and her colonies. The bill also would create a national office for the exploftation of existing mines and the opening of new ones. The promoters of the bill declare that its aim Is not a sterile state op- eration, but the ereatfon of a national organization in which competent and active persons would be enrolled and which, with the aid of science, would give to French mining the fullest out- put compatible with its mineral re- sources.

POLICE STUDYING NEW TRAFFIC LAW Get First Copies of Code and Seek Legal Advice on Enforcement. irst official copies of the new traffic law arrived at the District Buiiding from the printing office toda and police officials immediately arranged a confer- ence with Corporation Counsel Stephens to prepare for the enforcement of those sections of the law which are effective new. ‘The law was signed by the President March buts so many changes in phraseology had been made by the Sen- ate and House conferees at the last minute that the city authorities were unable to take any stepe toward en- forcement of the new requirements until they had before them the language of the act as finally approved. Certain sections of the aw were made immediately effective, while other pro- visions were worded to take effect in 60 days, or on May 2. Corporation Counsel Stephens this morning began a careful study of the language of the entire act, and will advise the Police Department as soon as possible which provisions should Le enforced immediately and which after 60,days. New Speed Limit May 1. After a hasty reading of the law today, Mr. Stephens said it appeared that the new speed limit of 22 miles an hour would not be effective until 60 days. The law gives to the new director of traffic authority to fix a higher speed limit for outlying dis- tricts and arterial bighways The law also requires the renewal of operators’ permits annually. It is provided that the director of traf- fic shall provide by regulation for the issuance of permits to individuals in possession of permits prior to enact- ment of the law. Although the law raises the speed limit to 22 miles an hour, it also car- rles a reckless-driving clause, with severe penalties for conviction on such a charge. Rigid penaities also are provided for fleeing from the scene of an accident, driving while under the influence of intoxicants or drugs and for using a smoke screen. Must Report Accidents. A new feature in the traffic law is the provision requiring garage own- ers to report to the police within 24 hours any car brought to' their es- tablishments showing evidence of having been involved in an accident or struck by bullets. A penalty is provided for failure to make such re- port. The conditions under which opera- tors' permits shall be revoked and the conditions under which they may be revoked are outlined in the law. One of the most important pro- visions is that authorizing the direc- tor of traffic to designate arterial highways to expedite the movement of vehicles. The Commissioners are now look- ing about for a director, but they have indicated that it may be several weeks before a selection is made.

Speakers connected with the art of printing will make brief addresses. There also will be several prominent speak- ers from out of town. Comment by President Wright. President Oscar T. Wright of the Typothetae of Washington announces that this exhibit has been arranged through the courtesy and co-opera- tion of Public Printer George H. Carter. In referring to the exhibi- tion, President Wright states that until a few vears ago the use of fine was rarely desired or thought of outside of the field of fine books. The idea that printing for ordipary commercial purposes could profitably make use of good taste and that such printing affords an almost limitless outlet for the finest skill in typography and illustration, has been of siow growth. The present high development of this idea is very recent and it marks an entirely new and vitally important chapter in the history of printing. Object of Exhibition. “To bring home this fact in its full- est significance to those most nearly concerned, to interest a still wider circle of American printers and buy- ers of printing and to stimulate a fuller appreciation on the part of the public the American Institute of Graphic Arts has prepared the present exhibition and is sending it through- out the country,” it was explained.

Bundesen, city health commissioner, declared there {s no real epidemic of influenza and respiratory diseases here.

W hole Question of Peace and Arms Re- opened by Action. (Continued from First Page.) he would ask further postponement of action by the council on the uni- versal pact without seeking to give it its death blow. Says Chamges Were Posafble. Those papers supporting the gov- ernment, such as L/Oeuvre, admit that some of Mr. Chamberlain’s criticisms are justified, but contend the protocol could have been perfected to meet them. “The truth is” L/Oeuvre says, England rejects the protocol be the dominions ordered her to. Emile Bure, managing editof of L/Eclair, which paper is supporting former Premier Millerand, observes caustically: “The league is moribnund. As in the view of the founders it was only (o be used to destroy the French victory it was evident that it wouldr disap- pear as soon as it had accomplished its purpose. Mr. Chamberlain and M Briand simply ask that it be in- terred with proper pomp. The result considered In circles around the Qual d'Orsay today as most likely to follow the British rejection of the protocol will be a European allfance in which all the states whose frontiers are exposed to the dangers of Invasion will_unite, unless the British govern- ment is able to suggest something better to take its place. The protocol plan is considered in all political and diplomatic clrcles here as dead. The general opinfon in Paris seems to be that the British have shouldered a grave responsibility, and that it now devolves upon them to point out how that security which alone will make dls- armament possible ean be obtained British Pressing France. In this connection it was learned in official circles that the British cabinet has been pressing France to take the German proposals for a pact under con- sideration. The significance of this was reinforced today by the comment of the British press published here, showing a general insistence upon the necessity of serfously studying the German sug- gestions. The German proposals, however, are considered in French quarters, it was remarked by a person close to Pre- mier Herriot, to be altogether vague, unsatisfactory and entirely inadequate without Important amplifications, and n any circumstances not acceptable unless so indorsed by responsible, de- pendable guarantors that France could count upon them for immediate support In case of a German default In any event France, it was de- clared today, will not abandon Poland or allow a breach to be made In the treaty of Versallles in order to obtain from Germany a promise of security, which, it is remarked, would differ little from that which she gave Bel- glum in 1832. There was some timid talk this morning of the possibility that In- slstence by the British on the German plan might have the result of bring- ing to the fore the old scheme of ex-Premier Calllaux and his friends of a complete entents with Germany, independently of the other powers. Seeurity Taken U The security problem fn all its as- pects was discussed last night by the forelgn relations committee of the Chamber at & meeting to which exceptional importance Is attached M. Franklin Boulllon presided and representatives of all the parties were present, including Leouis Loucheur, Paul Boncour and Albert Milhaud. A statement issued after the meeting announced that the committee had reached unanfmous conclusions, with- out specifying what they were. It is understood, however, that all the committeemen were agreed that the Cologne zone must not be evac- uated untll Germany had fulifilled her disarmament obligations and France had obtained from her allles effective guarantees for her security. The committee further was of the opinion that if non-ratification of the Versallles treaty by the United States made null and void the tripartite agreement whereby the United States and Great Britaln bound themselves to coms to the aid of France in case of unprovoked German aggression, it still remained true that “the stipula- tions of the treaty concerning the left bank of the Rhine do not insure France sultable security and protec- tion.” to use the words of the pre- amble of the tripartite agreement. The committee will therefore ask the government to remedy this situ- ation by means of interailied agree- ments. EUROPE IS CONFUSED. Conditions Like Those Here When League Was Killed. BY HAL O'FLAHERTY. By Cable to The Star and Chicage Daily News. LONDON, March 13.—Europe finds herself today in almost the same state of cnofused opinion regarding world peace as existed in the United States after the Senate rejected the treaty of Versailles and the covenant of the League of Natlons. Great Britain, whose place in Eu- ropean affairs resembles that of the United States in world affairs, has killed the Geneva protocol. Foreign Minister Chamberlain's speech Thurs- day before the league council at Ge- neva aroused the same fires of indig- nation that burned so brightly In Washington after Senator Lodge's at- tack on the treaty of Versallles. League adhere not only on the continent, but also here in England, turn upon Mr. Chamberlain today as religious fanatics would turn upon a blasphemer, shouting: “Flay that man!” He is accused of relinquishing Great Britain'’s moral leadership in Surope, He Is labelled “the butcher of great generous ideas.” His argu- ments, so lucidly set forth, are char- acterized by his opponents as disin- genuous and merely “departmental criticisms evolved by the admiralty and the war office.” Ceecll Scores Chamberlain. Viscount Cecil of Chelwood, address- ing & meeting Thursday night, declared that Great Britain stands at ‘the part- ing of the ways. One leads back into the old system of alllances, counter ai- liances and competition In armaments which must end In certain disaster, en- gulfing Christlan civilization. The other leads to a new system of international co-operation. in which all nations will take thelr share fo safeguarding world peace. He declared that any attempt such as was proposed by Mr. Chamber- lain, to impose peace by a partial com- bination, was bound to end in war. This sums up briefly the attitude of league adherents as outlined by Mr. Chamberlain. His supporters, includ- ing the whole conservative pre staunchly applaud his thesis, which, in substance, places the blame for Europe’'s unrest upon the unending conflict between France and Germany. Once those two countries enter into an agreement such as Mr. Chamber- lain has proposed, Great Britain would gladly become the third party. Such Is Great Britain's proferred al- ternative to the expiring protocol— treaties framed with the sole object of malntaining peace between the nations most immediately concerned. Conservative opinion in Great Brit- ain dismisses the whole project of the rotocol with the same determination s America’s fsolationists dfsmissed the treaty of Versallles following the war; and In view of the fact that the Conservative party is likely to remain in power for several years, opposition becomes futile.

By the Associated Pri LONDON, March 13.—The passing of the Geneva security protocol, which was rejected by Forelgn Secretary Chamberlain before the League of Natlons council yesterday, Is a sub- ject of general comment in today's newspapers, which indulge in specu- lation as to what Is coming next The papers emphasize that Mr. Chamberlain's speech showed the British rejection of the protocol to be definite and final. The Times says it 1s, indeed, satisfactory that his statement was so categorical—h night easily have wandered into a naze of half measures and non-com- mittal statements. M. Brland’s declaration that France was standing by the protocol brought bout such a sharp contrast in views to represent a diplomatic hiatus that, in the present circumstances, Is hardly intelligible, the paper con- tinues, adding with reference to the German offcr of a security past: “The German government has made proposals which amount to voluntary —as opposed to compulsory—accept- ance of some of the most important clauses of the treaty of Versallles. Thls Is an event in the history of rope. British and French diplomacy should grasp this occasion with both hands.” Regarding Mr. Chamberlain's “fu- neral oration,” the Morning Post avi it is doubted if any infant, meaning the protocol, has caused more com- plexity to Its parents and its hosts of godfathers and godmothers. The infant was “practically still-born,” says the Post, and “scarcely deserved all the powder and shot bestowed on it by Mr. Chamberlain.” The Daily Telegraph contends that the foreign secretary went further than was expected in his destructive analysis of that “ill-consldered and untimely attempt to improve upon the peace-preserving machinery constructed by the engineers of the league covenant.”™ “Exposure of the fatal weaknesses of the protocol, however, was best done thoroughly If done at all,” the paper believes. The Daily News sa be widespread regret in England, though no surprise, at the inabilit of the British government to glv support togso bold and so sincer an attempt to outlaw war at a single stroke. “It is true to say not only that no International proposal has ever been so carefully scrutinized by infor British opinlon, but also that .none has ever been studied with a more sympathetic desire to find a way to acceptance.” SEES FAILURE CAUSE. “There will Jaspar Says Backers Went Too Fast. By the Assoclated Press. BRUSSELS, March 13.—M. Jaspar, former foreign minister, commenting on the events at Geneva yesterday, de- clared that the protocol failed because its supporters had made the mistake of asking the league for more than it oould give and because they wanted to go too fast “England’s changed attitude is a use- ful lesson,” saild M. Jaspar. “The league always succeeded when it had to settle clearly a defined problem. It should go forward slowly and prudently, without seeking to create a super-state.” He remarked that the league, which wae first regarded suspiciously because it was considered an American creation, then as an English tool, would now be labeled & French concern. If the Genoa conference had falied becmuse of the presence of Russian and German dele- gates, he sald, the Geneva protocol had falled because of the absence of these two powers, who, together with the United States, must complete the league it it really wished to play the part de- volving upon it. In conclusion, M. Jas- par euggested that the league should first of all try to obtain an International agreement for the distribution of raw materfal and solve the problem present- ed by the overpopulation of Italy, Ja- pan and ofher countries. WOULD ALLAY FEARS. Stresemann Explains Stand With Regard to France. BERLIN, March 13.—Foreign Min- ister Stresemann, in an interview with the Cologne Gazstte, enlarges on the question of the proposed secur- ity pact and Germany's recent sug- gestions along that line. " These suggestions were made, he sald, to dissipate France's “‘unjusti- fled imagination that she is threat- ened by Germany,” and to manifest to the world Germany's genuine de- sire for peace. “For this reason,” the foreign min- ister continued, “the German repre- sentatives at London, Paris, Rome and Brussels were instructed to in- form the respactive governments that Germany 1s ready to join In a secur- ity pact of the powers interested in the Rhine to guarantee the present frontiers on the Rhine, and also to conclude arbitration treaties with all the powers on the lines of those con- cluded with Switzerland and Sweden ~ Dr. Stresemann pointed out that Germany had not made any definite proposals, but had only advanced sug- gestlons which were included In the memorandum handed to the allied governments, and were the limit of what Germany could offer.

According to Falman's story, as State's attornevg said he told it, Shepherd shortly afterward attended lectures on germs for about a week, but never paid any tuition and never returned. Shortly afterward, Faiman said, he looked In an incubator. where a sup- ply of germ cultures was kept and which was accessible to students and found three tubes missing, one of which he was sure contained typhus bactll About three months ago a man whose name Falman said he did not know, lled at the school and ‘wanted to know about our records.” Files Were Searched. “He later said,” Dr. Faiman added, “that if I had something on file that he wanted, it would pay me well, or something like that o the man searched the school files, but I never saw the man again.” Dr. Faiman was taken under guard to a hotel pending the appearance of Shepherd at the State's attorney office. hepherd, when informed of ¥ai- man’s statements, said: “It's all a lle.” “I have never heard of the univer- sity before,” Shepherd said. “I had never met Faiman before until the last hearing of the inquest.

He aban- doned the filibuster suddenly at 8 pm. yieiding the floor to Senator pstead, Farmer-Labor. Minnesota, another opponent of the treaty, who spoke only an hour. When Senator Copeland stopped speaking last night proponents at- tempted to force a vote, but several other members insisted upon an op- portunity to be heard. Senator Pep- per, Republican, Pennsylvania, in charge of the treaty, then proposed the unanimous consent agreement, which was adopted. limiting each member to one speech of not more than 15 minutes on the subject The New York Senator conducted his fight from behind a steadily aug- mented bulwark of reference books, documents, maps and blueprints, esti- mated by others to contain sufficient oratorical ammunition to last a month. He also had some crackers and raisins in his pockets, and occa- stonally supped broth or milk brought to him by his secretary while poring over some record on or near his desk. Fought Hard Fight. “Fighting solely for principle” and conceding that the treaty would be ratified if brought to a vote, Senator Copeland did not abandon his an- nounced intention of speaking all night until leaders had brought about a parllamentary situation In which he was obliged to speak continuously, without permitting any Interruption, in order to hold the floor.
