RACKETEER COURT SLATED IN CAICARD Special Tribunal to Handle Cases Against “Big Busi- ness Brigands.” By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, December 20.—Racketeer- ing and allied bootlegging are to have a special court in Chicago. Chief Justice Harry Olson of the Chi- cago Municipal Courts today announced the establishment of a new branch of the tribunal to be devoted exclusively to such cases. Judge Olson addressed a joint meeting of the American Political Science Association, the American Asso- ciation of Law Schools and the Ameri- can Sociological Society. The new court, he said, would deal with “racketeering of various kinds, such as bootlegging, injury to business and cases involving the protection of racketeéring and bootlegging enter- prises.” The principal object of the court will be to give the State’s attor- ney and the United States district at- torney facilities for prosecuting racket- eers, the majority of whom violate State @ Federal laws, he said. To Try to Plug Leaks. In many cases, he said, leaks devel- oped when search warrants were issued, and the new court will attempt to over- come this so that evidence cannot be yemoved before search warrants have ®een served on bootleggers or racketeers. “The boldness of some of these big business brigands is well known,” he said. “The general public also knows something of the alliance between crooked politics and the fllicit liquor traffic. For instance, there have been 60 murders in Chicago Heights, & town | ©of 25,000, just outside of Chicago, in a little more than five years. Most of them grew out of bootlegging racketeer- ing and none of these cases has been prosecuted. Assassination has invaded the public streets in the downtown dis- trict in the daytime. This is as serious @s thé kicking over of the lantern by Mrs. O'Leary's cow as far as Chicago s concerned. Asked by U. S. In Past. “It is high time for responsible of- ficlals to do what they can under the law to change these conditions. I was requested by United States Government authorities o create this court a few years ago, but I lacked faith in the uting machinery. The Municipal Court is only an anvil—prosecution is not initiated except through the grand Jury and we have no grand jury. “The State’s attorney and the district attorney, with their grand juries, have he hammer for the anvil, ‘It is up to em to use it.” POSSE RENEWS HUNT FOR GIRL'S ABDUCTOR Colored Convict, Murderer of Pris- on Carpenter, Is Sought by Band of 1,000.

She Temained in the eabin until this morn- ing when, with the aid of a colored ‘woman who lived nearby, she made her way to the camp. It was not until this morning that she learned of her father's death, Dr. L. T. Fox, State penitentiary superin- tendent said, and this increased her highly nervous eondition. Duvall, carpenter sergeant at the farm, was found murdered in the dining Toom of his home yesterday morning. /His throat had been slashed with a ‘butcher knife and his head bore wounds 4nflicted with a hammer and ice pick. EEnhd sl e il SANDINO IS REPORTED PLANNING NEW DRIVE Rumor of Nicaragua Rebel’s Pro- posed Offensive Comes as Sur- prise to Washington. By the Associated Press. TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, Decem- ber 29.—The local newspaper el Demo- crata toda{ publishes a long article stating that Augustino Sandino is about 1o launch s great offensive in 2 desperate effort to gain contral of Nicaragua. It is sald that the resi- dents are fleeing from Nueva Segovia and nearby territory. Reports that Sandino, rebel leader, is preparing & new offensive to win Nicaragua were an occasion for surprise in Washington last night. The State Department has received no informa- tion of Sandino's movements for months, and it was generally supposed that in- ternal conditions had been stabilized. Confirmation Friday by the Nicaraguan Congress of the elections held under the Stimson agreement were cited as evidence that the government was well in control. WIND STARTS ALARM. Bhakes Window and Calls Detec- tives Hunting Thieves. Jolly old Boreas, the north wind, staged a premature New Year eve celebration last night at 1322 G street, Pauls’ Watch Shop, by shaking a win- dow facing on an alley and causing the sutomatic burglar alarm to ring Headquarters detectives, responding to the alarm, found the premises locked for the night, but a telephone call to G. C. Pauls, the establishment’s man- | ager and proprietor, brought him to in- vestigate. While waiting for Mr, Pauls to arrive, the locked door, bearing the sign “Walk In,” kept detectives in the cold and-dark envisioning a first-class burglary, but with the regr apnd alley “covered” to bar the escape of the sup- posed eriminal. Mr, Pauls’ arrival resulted in the re- g news that all was well within, and investigation and a little experi- menting uncovered the fact that when the wind shook the window, it caused the completion of the burglar-alarm cir- cuit and the consequent ringing on the street.

VIENNA, December 29.—A tale of devotion by a scientist to his calling, resulting finally in his death, came to- day from the little town of ‘Eisenerz near Salzburg. Prof. Franz Ratschuller of the Salzburg Technical Academy, & well known geologist and one of the most respected citizens of the city, vanished two months ago. The mysti- fication of his acquaintances was the greater because his life had been of the happiest sort. Today two youths bent on adventure made their difficult way down into a deep rocky cavern in Eisenerz and dis- covered the professor’s body, & rope around the neck and an extinguished candle in one hand. Devotion to - Science Kills Geologist; Lost in Damp Cave, He Hangs Himself to explore the geologic formation in the darkest recesses of the cavern. The authorities believe he must have groped about in the darkness for at least three days and nights in seeking a way out ‘because his body was greatly emaciated. Realizing finally that he was doomed and dreld?ng the results of longer re- maining in his damp and dark sub- terranean prison, the professor took the rog with which he had lowered himself into the cave, fastened a loop about his neck and hanged himself from a projecting rock. Before he took this step he wrote the following note: “This is a last fare- well to my dear wife and child. I see nothing but darkness and death in front of me. I cannot be saved. This cavern must be my coffin. Good-by.” His family today buried him near the spot where he had died while the weep- His light apparently had gone out and he had lost his way while attempting SEEING Received (Written exclusively for The Star and the North American Newspaper Alliance.) LONDON, December 29.—One of the results of the King’s illness has been the enormous increase in the always heavy postbag at Buckingham Palace. His majesty’s secretariat, headed by Lord Stamfordham, has to handle thousands of letters a day, and even the humblest notées are treated with politeness and dispatch.

In this, history, as usual, is repeating itself. For there is a letter extant from Lord Chancellor Hatton to Sir Thomas Smith, written during an alarming epidemic, which reads: “I am likewise bold to recommend my most humble duty to our dear mistress Queen Elizabeth by this letter and ring, which hath the virtue to expell infec- tious airs.

It has been called “Parliament and the premiership,” and it consists of relics of sentimental rather than of monetary value of the various prime ministers of England. ‘There is drama as well as abounding interest in the exhibition, and what could be more fronical than case 132, in which relics of those two great an- tagonists, Disraell and Gladstone, re- pose side by side? A novel, a magniloquent sheet of parchment, with a red seal on it as big as e saueer, the garter patent presented by the Duke of Richmond and & pair of opera glasses represent Disraeli.

Mechanical Drama Critics. Mr. Pemberton-Billing, author and ex-member of Parliament, believes dra- matic eritics should be scrapped in favor of an invention he has just per- fected. he calls an ‘“applause- he says it would give a record of how the play was being en “l{ is very simple,” he explains, “just like the dial of pl clock top which jlu attached microphones in the various mfio{mhmue,mfltheywfllrecord applause, great or small, and reg- it on the dial. “Then, instead of the cynical eriti- cisms 'o‘: me"d;.amnnchm;‘l:cs }l‘xix the paper the next day, g photographic re- production of the dial could be pro- duced. By this means the general pub- lic could know what an audience really thought of a play.” An ingenious idea! But one cannot help thinking that Mr. Pemberton-Bill- ing has not entirely forgotten a recent play of his which enjoyed a phenom- enally short run, no doubt owing to carping critics, and that he is anxious to get his own back on those captious gentlemen, Pug Pups Move Litter. ‘The Pug Pups may not be pretty, but they are very useful folk. They are, to give them their full title, the members of the Pick Up Glass and Pick Up Paper Society, and they pledge them- selves never to leave any litter about and to clear away as much as they can of other people’s litter. The society was founded by a woman in Oheshire, and consisted at first merely of her children. The idea fs gradually spr , however, and now the badge (a pug dog’s head in gilt) is often seen. May the P. P.s grow and flourish, for until the society expands its foundation members are likely to have a very hard time of it! Dickens’ Son at Dickens Play.

Sprightly Passage at Arms. Proceedings in Parliament were en- livened the other day by a sprightly passage of arms between Miss Ellen Wilkinson, the petite, red-haired Labor member of Parliament, affectionately known as “Perky,” snd Sir Kingsley Wood, parliamentary secretary to the ministry of health. During a debate Miss Wilkinson wagged a rogulsh forefinger at her op- ponent ¢nd said, rather surprisingly, “It's no use your pulling a face at me, Aunt Annie!” Sir Kingsley is chubby, pink, genial and treble-tongued, and his new title is so appropriate that it will probably | stick fcst. “He ‘s very polite to ladies,” Miss ‘Wilkinson said afterward, “but if he can prevent them, or any one else, from getting & word in edgewise he is happy, and he always finishes his speeches by saying, ‘Now, my dears, I am sure you agree with everything I have sald.’” It only needs s few more women members to make Parliament more witty and entertaining than any play!

Asserting he “did not mind” the criticism that was made of his recent committtee appointments as president of the Federation of Citizens’ Assaciations, Dr. George C. Havenner, presiding at the meeting of the Anacostia Citizens’ Association in the Masonic Temple at Fourteenth and U streets southeast last night, refused to present a resolution expressing the approval of the Ana- costia group of his action. Dr. Havener had, on request of the members, temporarily turned the chair- manship of the meeting over to F. M. Dent, when N. F. Jenney, secretary, formally moved the association follow the example of other associations in giving the federation president a vote of confidence. Dr. Havenner h;nmedhul{ resumed the chair, declaring he would not put such a motion, as he knew he had the backing of the Anacostia group 100 per cent. He then explained his attitude toward the criticism that had followed his removal of W. A. Roberts as vice chairman of the federation’s public utilities committee. The association reaffirmed its in- dorsement of the Zihlman bill now nding in Congress Provid.lng for an ncrease in the pay of police and fire- men.

Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, December 29.—Detec- tive Sergt. John E: F. Cordes, the only policeman who ever won the depart- ment._medal of honor twice, and who last August was termed by former Com~ missioner Warren the best officer in the history of the police department. was suspended today by Commissioner Whalen on charges of neglect of duty.

The side streets would be constructed according to the natural conditions of the land upon which they are located, as there would be little travel upon them. The highway plan also provides for routes by which through traffic it be diverted from the business of the city, avoiding copgestion and ald- ing travelers who do not wish to be delayed by entering crowded areas.

PROPAGANDA GIFTS T0 PROFESSORS HIT Expulsion of Educators Who Ac- cept Bribes Asked in Re- quest for Inquiry. By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, December 29.—An in- vestigation of charges that college professors have accepted money from public utility interests for disseminat- ing doctrines and data favorable to the utilities was asked today by the Ameri- can Political Science Association. The group requested the American Assoe! tion of University Professors to con- duct the inquiry. The political science body suggested that all professors found guilty of ac-, cepting remuneration from public utility sources be expelled from educa- tional circles. Judson King, director of the National Popular Government League, urging an immediate investigation, said: “Efforts have been made for years to dominate the educational system through subsidizing professors and supervising text books. Finaneiers and business leaders who act as trustees of and universities are really colleges for the public utility watchdogs interests.” BOY MAY LOSE HAND DUE TO JEST ABOUT AX Brother’s Dare to Cut Him Results Seriously, Due to Mutual Misunderstanding.
