WEW YORK, April 1.—The “glorifi- catton” manner of handling crime mews by the so-called “yellow" press, together with the advent of tabloid newspapers and “art” magazines, have done muth lo contribute to crime, the v York State Crime Com- ssion subcommittee.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 1.—Not all the foolish questions are asked by students. Officials in the office of the State superintendent of pub- lic instruction sald yesterday that the following queries had been re- ceived from teachers. “If Thanksgiving falls on Sun- day, is the following Monday a school holiday?” “I hold a professional life cer- tificate. How may I get it re- newed?" “I am to_teach vocational agri- cultire fn Wyoming. Your appli- catlon for a certificate calls for my malden name. I am not mar- ried yet. What shall I do?” 150 PASSENGERS HELDONTHO SHPS which reaches a strata of population which never read newspapers in for- mer generations. “The power is great, especially where persons of subnormal intelli- Eence are concerned. Accounts which they read.of crime impress them to a greater extent than their more in- telligent brothers and the flood of crime news which flows from the modern press gives sinister inclina- tions to minds that would otherw be occupied with very harmles: terests.” .\thcks “Attractive Nicknames.” The ’application of nicknames and phras as lhe the “romantic suggestion the report attacks. “art” magazines as “definite factors in causing crime” were found by the subcommittee to be sold extensively to school chil- dren and “others of an impression- mble nature. The report says that to test the effect of “colored” crime narratives upon newspaper readers, two men were employed to board subway trains in various parts of New York &nd select readers at random. Of 50 readers of a certain tabloid 83 per cent expressed the opinion that the accused was guilty, 6 per cent felt the accused not guilty anc. 6 per cent were doubtful. Compared with 14 readers of an old-establishec conservative newspaper, the investi- gation showed 7 per cent thought the accused guilty, 35 per cent ex- pressed the belief of innocence and 58 per cent expressed doubt. Further Comparison. Of 24 readers of another conserv- ative newspaper 33 per cent felt the eccused was guilty, 42 per cent thought him innocent and 25 per cent were doubtful. In connection with these figures it was pointed out that one conservative newspaper carried more than three times the number of words in the particular trial in question than the tabloid mentioned “It is unquestionably a public menace fof newspapers to present the detail which they now prinl. re- garding crimes and’ divorces,” says the report, which ends with the con- clusion “that mewspaper censorship, although undesirable, is not the ‘worst of evils.” —— Ordered to Capital.

Passports Investigated After Entrance of 17 on Forged Papers. By the Associated Press. PROVIDENCE, R. I., April 1.—More than 150 passengers on the Fabre line steamers Patria and Roma were de- tained here yesterday by Mrs. Anna Tillinghast, immigeation com- missioner. for the New Mngland dis- trict, for investigation of their pass- ports, Their detention followed upon the revelation that 17 Greeks fmm Smyrna entered this country through -his city from the Fabre liner Asia, February 27, by using six-month re- turn permits granted by the Govern- ment to other aliens. The 17 immigrants, said to be scat- tered through eastern Massachusetts, are liable to maximum penalties of $10,000 fine and five years in jail. Immigration officials said the aliens illegally in this country substituted their photographs on the passports for those of the original holders. Gov- ernment seals on photographs and |e{‘;nl(! ‘were forged, Mrs. Tillinghast said. ‘The forgeries were discovered more than a week after the Asia docked, when the permits, vised here, were sent to Washington to be filled with applications bearing original photo- graphs. 300 TO VISIT CAPITAL.
