SNOOK RESIENS POST AT ATLANTA éPrison Warden Asked to Re- tire Due to “Lack of Admin- istrative Ability.” By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga., March 18.—Warden John W. Snook's protest against the “planting” of Department of Justice agents in the Atlanta Federal Peniten- tiary has resulted in his resignation, ef- fective April 1. The warden's resignation, which he announced last night, followed a dis- closure by the Department of Justice Saturday that Mr. Snook had been given 30 days in which to resign, “because of utter lack of administrative ability.” Published reports recently told of two instances of the “planting” of Justice Department agents in the Atlanta | Puison. Peter Hansen, committed from | Detroit a year ago, was transferred to Leavenworth Federal Prison and later released. Joseph Montana entered the | prison after pleading guilty in Cincin- nati to a charge of violating the nation- al automobile theft act. He was released after serving two weeks of a three-year sentence. Warden Snook, who took over the At- lanta Prison when former Warden Al- bert Sartain was indicted for accepting bribes from wealthy prisoners in return for “soft jobs,” has had long experience in penal work. He was warden of the Idaho State Prison for nine years, served for seven years as a deputy United States marshal in Alaska and is president of the Prison Wardens' Asso- ciation of the United States. EXPLAIN SNOOK REMOVAL. Was Unsatisfactory. The Department of Justice announced tion of John Snook, warden of thel Atlanta penitentiary, was made after a| review of conditions there extending| over two years, and not because of his, objection “to the use of “undercover agents.” + The action taken by Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General in charge of Federal prisons, in asking Snook to resign was approved by Attorney General Mitchell, thz state- The Department's statement said: “Such efforts as may have been made by Mr. Snook or his friends to make it appear that the request for his re- moval was because of steps taken to procure information about prison con- ditions is not warranted and the two issues should not be confused. So far as concerns the methods of obtaining reliable information about inside prison conditions it need only be said that at the present time there are no so-called Sought to Better Conditions. “The government of the prisons is in Mrs. Willebrandt’s division and the methods to be used from time to time will be worked out in the department. The government of the prisons is a complex and difficult problem. We pro- to consider the whole problem with a view of bettering conditions.” ‘The statement was accepted as mean- ing that Attorney General Mitchell had not as yet passed upon the question of whether undercover men would con- tinue to be used in s2curing information | from among the prisoners as to ccndi- tions within the Federal institutions. There have been many protests against the use of undercover men, and Sena- tor Borah of Idaho conferred with the Attorney General last week to protest against that method of securing in- formation. Snook’s Management Criticized. The statement in reference to Snook said: “This action was taken after a review of conditions affecting the prison man- agement over a period of more than two years, and with the sole purpose of bringing about a more efficient manage- ment.” Mrs. Willebrandt announced Saturday that Snook, who has publicly denounced the use cf undercover men to obtain information as to the morale, food and treatment of Federal prisons, had been asked on March 5 to resign within 30 days. Snook subsequently announced at Atlanta that he had resigned, effective April 1, . 11 MEMBERS ENROLLED. Cosmopolitan Club to Hold Initia- tion Ceremony April 4.

The people that are lined along the sidewalk are just trying to get to the other side, that's all.

Squarely behind President Hoover in his crusade for law enforcement looms the stalvart figure of America’s most famous critic of our system of criminal jurisprudence, Chief Justice Taft of the United States Supreme Court. From his seat on the platform at the east front of the Capitol a few days back, the Chief Justice lent eager ears to the pledge of the newly sworn Presi- dent to find out what is wrong with the Nation's legal and judicial machinery. From his office on the third floor of his spacious Wyoming avenue home, Mr, Taft is watching with keen interest and deep-seated satisfaction the day- to-day developments in the Govern- ment’s greatest offensive against crime. Nearly a quarter of a century ago, while Secretary of War, Mr. Taft in a public address declared: “I grieve for my country to say that the administration of the criminal law in all of the States of the Union—there may be one or two exceptions—is a dis- grace to our civilization. We are now reaching an age when we cannot plead vouth, sparse civilization, newness of country, as a cause for laxity in en- forcement of the law.” Anxiety Increased as President, His grief was not assuaged with the passing of the years. Becoming Presi- dent, his anxiety over the problem of law enforcement increased, for from that high vantage place the perspec- tive was gloomier than ever. Moving from his presidential post onto the bench of his country’s highest judicial tribunal, Mr. Taft appraised the picture from a different angle and at closer range, but he found no reason for alter- ing his original impression. When a supreme optimist like the | Chief Justice is moved to grief over the sordid situation in which society finds itself as a result of the spreading epi- demic of lawiessness, there really must be something wrong, somewhere. To use the words of Chief Justice Taft: “We are 2n easy-going people, prone to allow abuses to creep in until they become so objectionable that we rouse ourselves and then work radical reforms.” Hopes Time is at Hand. “I hope such a time is at hand now,” he told the National Crime Commis- sion some months ago. “The country ;:n é.:ge is ripe for measures of this At that time he made special refer- ence to the Baumes law in New York, a “radical reform” which he feels is a reaction in favor of “the forgotten man —the victim of the murderer and the robber and the criminal.” The Chief Justice sees in President Hoover's plan for a sweeping and searching inquiry into all phases of law-evasion and law-derision the reali- zation of his long-hoped-for revolt by society against the crime wave. The revolution had to come, sooner or later. That it is at hand is due in no small degree to the persistent campaign for reform waged, almost single-handed at times, by the able jurist now presiding over the Nation’s court of last appeal. Mr, Taft first became aroused over the problem of law enforcemént while practicing his profession before the Ohio bar. A novice in the legal game, he was amazed to learn that justice was being thwarted and that criminals were evading punishment through re- sort to legal trickery, archaic statutes and correlated devices. - Maudlin Appeals Sicken. He saw a murderer escape the noose because his lawyer was able to “pack” the jury and to lead it from paths of Judirial reason by maudlin appeals to sentiment. He saw an outraged community rise up in indignation and burn the court- house in which had occurred this flag- rant perversion of justice. The young. Ohio_lawyer, shocked at these events, determined then and there to become a crusader for judicial reform in the community. His view of the problem was purely a local one in those early days. He was to learn, however, that what was true of his na- tive State was true also of many other States. ' With the growth of this reali- zation he found himself called by con- science and by an inherent sense of public duty to broaden the scope of his crusade. Indeed, Mr., Taft dedicated 313 life to the cause of “awakened jus- ce.” Other Indictments Added As a result of his long experience at the bar, in public office and on_ the bench, the Chief Justice has been forced to add other indictments to his first list of evils. He has found de- fects all along the line in our methods of curbing crime and punishing crim- inals. Not only has he dared to expose and criticize these failings, but he hi come forward with definite remedial suggestions. On the eve, of the appointment of mission, with public interest in the unprecedented peak, it might be well to recall some of the specific things which Chief Justice Taft has found wrong with American jurisprudence. First of all, he thinks our machinery for apprehending ecriminals is anti- quated. There are insufficient policemen in the big cities and inadequate constabu- laries in the rural districts. The ad- vent of the automobile has made the path of escape easy for the fugitive. Crime has been placed on a highly organized basis, backed by vast re- sources of plunder. Followers of “the racket” are utilizing all the latest in- ventions of science, from high-powered car with smoke-screens. and machine ¢ guns to the radio and the airplane. Police Forces Outsped. Our police forces and constabularies. on the other hand, are handicapped by; meager funds, doled out grudgingly by a tax-burdened populace. They are un- able to keep pace with the maneuvers of the underworld. They have not the equipment boasted by the enemies of society,- nor the numbers necessary to delve into the far-flung ramifications of organized vice. “The law,” says the Chief Justice, “ghould not prevent the charge of the court from being enlightening and clar- ifying. It should obviate, the camou- flage that s so often created in a. courtroom by the skill and histrionic ability of the counsel. We must trust somebody 4n the supervision of the trial, and that somebody must be and should be the judge. The procedure and the rules of evidence should not be such that the lawyers can weave a web to trip the trial judge, and secure a de- cision which an upper court by reason of technical rules would have to set aside. Neither the English judges nor the judges of the Federal.courts are restricted in the aid which they can give the jury to enable it to understand the real issues and to weigh evidence intelligently. ‘Though the law-breaker be brought to the bar of justice, his punishment oft- times neither is swift nor sure, Mr. Taft laments. Through the wiles of counsel, he takes advantage of techni- calities of the law to squirm his way to freedom, or smugly places his fate in the hands of an attornew capable of swaying jurors with histrionic dis- sertations. Fortunately for the criminal, many of the States have succumbed to hysteria in their desire to protect the constitu- tional rights of the citizen. In their over- zealousness Legislatures have thrown a straitjacket of restraint’ around the prosecution and opened - the doors of leniency to the defense. Judges who would explain the law | \ Cl'OO](S. with reference to a case in hand have been muzzled partially or wholly, while counsel for the prisoner have been given wide latitude to becloud the issue with irrelevant testimony and impas. sioned oratory. “The judges are more restricted in| other courts. The truth is that the| American people in many States have distrusted the judges and preferred to | let the juries wander about through a | wilderness of evidence, without judicial suggestion or guide, and often to become subject to an unfair and perverted presentation by counsel of the evidence, leading to a defeat of justice. | Appeals Considered Fair. “The chance of conviction of innocent persons by a jury of 12 men through judicial conduct and tyranny must be minimized by fair review on appeal. But the danger is not sufficiently great to require that the reins be thrown on the back of the jurors, to follow their own sweet will in their conclusions. They constitute the tribunal to pass on the facts, and they are the ultimate judge of the facts. But the judge is there and, with his experience, it should be his sworn duty to help the jury to consider and analyze the evidence and weigh it with common sense.” Chief Justice Taft contends that one of the curses of American jurisprudence today is the prevalence of incompetent juries. Our system of selecting jurors, by which defense counsel is enabled virtually to choose his own panel through use of an inordinate number of peremptory challenges, is not con- ducive to proper administration of justice, he holds. Under this system the best citizons may be excluded from the jury box and their places filled by jurors of questionable responsibility. Reforms Are Listed. For all of these and other abuses the | Chief Justice has proposed a list of | reforms. He has outlined these recom- mendations many times during his long career in public life, and he is con- tinuing to advocate them. He eptomized them thus to the Crime Commission: “We need more policemen in most cities and we need more constables in the rural regions of the States. “We need legislation to secure prompter information or indictment and prompter trials. “We need legislation to reduce as much as possible the opportunities of counsel for convicted men to delay a review and final disposition of the ! cases. “We need legislation that shall render | impossible new trials except for real injustice in a trial. “We nced legislation to enlarge the power of the judges to guide the trial and to help the jury in understanding | the evidence and in reaching its con- clusion upon the evidence. Exemptions Should Be Decreased. “There will have to be a further examination of the methods by which jurors are selected. The method of selection ought not to be such that counsel for the defendants, by ex- clusion of worthy citizens from the panel, may select jurors of weak intel- ligence, of little experience and subject to emotions easily aroused. “Exemptions from jury service ought to be cut down, and society ought to be able to secure a jury that approaches the issues with a sense of its obligation to enforce the law without fear or favor, and with intelligence enough to learn from the judge what the law is and to weigh the evidence with ref- erence to its violation.” The Chief Justice believes the Ameri- can people may have become so en- grossed in the commendable work of reforming criminals as to. lose sight of the necessity for reforming the laws which convict them. “We are all in favor of measures which will induce criminals to become law-abiding citizens,” he says, “but we must never forget that the Thief and first object of prosecution of crime is | its deterrent effect upon future would- be criminals in the protection of society. ‘We must not allow our interest in crim- inals to go to the point of making effec- tive prosecution of crime and its punish- ment subordinate to schemes for reform of criminals, however admirable they may be.” Chief Justice Taft hopes the decision of President Hoover to appoint a drastic law _enforcement commission heralds | the long-anticipated revolution of so- | clety against lawlessness, attended by a far-reaching reorganization of the whole structure of jurisprudence.

A spirited contest is reported in prog- ess for the two Republican vacancies on the powerful Senate foreign rela- tions committee with nine applicants for the post. The contest seems to narrow down to a race between some of the Western Independents and some of the “old1 Guard.” Chairman Borah, who is counted among the Independents, is expected to use his influence for the candidates in this classification with a view to cementing his control over the committee. Three_ Republicans on the committee bolted Borah's leadership for a while on the Kellogg anti-war treaty—Moses, New Hampshire; Johnson, California, and McLean, Connecticut. The latter is not a member of the new Senate. With the prospect of disarmament conferences and reculting treaties. Borah naturally is anxious to make sure of his control in the committee. Senator McNary of Oregon, the new chairman of the Republican committec on committees, holds the answer to the fillinz of the committee vacancies, but he i5 withholding any comment until his committee meets. Dog Is Convicted Of Four Attacks By Judge Given Airedale Guilty Despile‘ Character Testimony of Several Admirers. Convicted of making felonious attacks upon four young children, “Cocoa,” an Airedale dog, is awaiting sentence. Owned by Cooper Boling, 3500 block of Quebec street, the dog has been duly tried in Police Court before Judge Ralph Given and found guilty of the charges. Neighbors testified at the trial that the dog bit several children, including Billy Shedd, young son of Maj. W. E. Shedd of the 3600 block of Morton place. The flying heels of passing horses also attracted “Cocoa,” who delighted in nip- ping at them. Character witnesses were introduced : to testify in behalf of the dog. His owner pleaded for leniency and declared he would remove the animal from the neighborhood and send it away. But the law prescribes that more drastic action be taken, and although Judge Given declared he sympathized with Boling, he must determine whether “Cocoa” receives the death penalty. A section of the police regulations stipulate that where a dog is found guilty of such charges he shall be de- livered to the pound to be executed. | Judge Given said today he would con- sider the matter and render a decision !
