Three major divisions entering into | the problem, it is said, are the cause of crime, the cause of laxity in appre- | hending criminals and the reason for | delays in administering justice. In conformity with this set-up, the corps of experts will study criminals and their activities, police departments and their administration and courts an their procedure, the chairman indicated. In following this policy Chairman ‘Wickersham will be taking heed of re- peated suggestions on law enforcement made in the past by a former Presi- dent, under whom he served as Attor- ney General. This former Chief Execu- tive, who is now Chief Justice Taft, for years has advocated an intensive study | of criminals, the methods of bringing them to justice and the procedure used | in administering punishment. He has advocated enlargement of suburbain | constebularies and urban police forces, simplification of court processes and re form in the jury system. i The White House conference followed | the convening of the commission, an organization from the Northern Presby- terian Church, at_the New York Ave- nue Presbyterian Church this morning. After a brief conference with the President, Dr. McAfee and other mem- bers of the delegation made it plain that in calling upon the President it was their intention to pledge him the sup- rofl of their church in behalf of all aws, and not merely the prohibition law. RecallingMr. Hoover's pronounce- ments on the subject, the statement which Dr. McAfee made to the Presi- dent in presenting the commission’s view made clear that it officially repre- sented the church, whose membership numbers more than 2,000,000, and whose constituency is more than 5,000,000. “We know of no division of senti- ment in our church regarding your words of warning and challenge,” he said. Observance Is Task. “While not concerned with the mak- | ing or modifying of laws nor chiefly with their enforcement,” he continued, “the observance of law, the spread of the spirit of lawfulness, is clearly our task.” “If any agency may feel responsibil- ity for developing & spirit which finds in law a binding obligation, surely it is the church. We find many citizens to whom law is merely restriction, a limitation set upon some by others; Whereas it should be only the way by which we may live together in a broth: | erly society.” Dr. McAfee added: “We feel that recent months have misled us serwously by centering atten- tion upon a law; many public journals and officials have heaped scorn upon it and upon all efforts to enforce it: they have leaped upon all mistakes or excesses in enforcing it and have mag- nified them unjustly. They have ex- plained all negiect of law by the op- position which this one law has —~an opj whi they themselves. have steadily fostéred. We are nnl{ satisfied with the logic of this argu ment, and we are glad that you have| followed a fortunate precedent of the Society of Friends in stripping this issue of its cluttering externals and have brought us to the beating heart of it. No law is here involved because it is| law itself which is involved. It is to the task of reviving and reasserting the | dignity and right of law itself that you | have called us. Pledge Loyalty to President. In concluding his remarks, Dr. Mc- | Afee told the President that “we gladly express loyalty to yourself as a national leader who has put himself on the side | of this moral issue in a bewildering time After the conference at the White House members of the commission had luncheon at the Willard Hotel with Secretary of War Good and Senator Watson of Indiana. This afternoon the members of the commission wer to confer on methods to bring the at tention of their program to the con- science of the church. The /commission, to which 25 mem- bers were appointed from wide areas | of the church, was created by the Gen- | eral Assembly and appointed by the moderator. Dr. McAfee, was a religious body, unconcerned with politics, said the commission feels it has ! nothing to do with enforcement of the rohibition, or any other law, but that ts purpose is concerned with keeping | the laws from being violated. i HOOVER APPEAL SURPRISES. in explaining that n; But Expressions Are Made of Willing- ! ness to Co-operate. | By the Associated Pre.

DETROIT, June 19 (N.AN.A).—One sults achieved by the Government in its { concentrated drive to dry up the De- iroit-Canadian border is to lay them before President Hoover’s Crime Com- mission The 10 men and one woman selected the commission were chosen with one requirement. placed above all others: | | That they be able to approach the vital | prohibition question unbiased by any previous commitment on this subject. To enable them to decide whether the prohibition laws as they stand can be enforced and their views regarding the methods necessary for strict en- forcement, the present mobilization of the dry forces of the Government has been ordered. The Crime Commission is to be given a concrete example of the degree of enforcement which can be achieved with the forces now at ‘Washington's disposal. The commis- sion’s judgment on the success or fail- ure of the Detroit drive will have an the subject of l prohibition. Canadian Officials Sympathetic. The result of the drive will have its flect in another direction. So far. the attitude of the Canadian government has been that the United States must enforce its own laws without aid from its neighbor. although many high Ca- nadian officials have expressed sympa- thy with the United States Govern- ment’s effort. ‘The demand of the American dele- gation to the Ottawa rum-smuggling conference in January for Canadian legislation to prohibit export of liquor to the United States was rejected by Dominion representatives, but the ques- tion is not a closed one. Drive Answers Challenge. Some of the Canadian delegates ex- pressed doubt concerning the effective- ness of American enforcement. The present drive is, therefore, regarded in the nature of an answer to the Cani dians' challenge. Some observers be- lieve that by showing a high degree of success in the enforcement drive Wash- ington will win fuller co-operation from | Canada and perhaps stop all smug- | gling for all time. The rum smugglers will fight to re- tain their profitable “racket.” Their desperate character is the reason As- sistant Secretary Seymour Lowman of the Treasury Department insisted last week that the prohibition forces must continue to be armed, although the Government men have been warned not by the President for the personnel of | THE EVENING RESULTS OF DETROIT DRY DRIVE TO BE GIVEN LAW COMMISSION 'Campaign to Clean Up “Wettest™ Spot on Expected to Have Bearing on Group's Action. /& half-dozen customs border patrol in- | spectors over a cargo of liquor just landed on the Detroit water front, in which the firing was heavy.

The inspector said he feared the four would “gang” him and he fired when they did not heed his commands to halt. The four were unarmed. This took place at the west- erly limits of Detroit, down river. Home Breweries Expensive. But Detroit will still remain wet after the importing of liquor has been stop- | ped if no attention is paid to the brew- eries and alcohol cooking plants In the ecity. For this reason it is be- lieved that the dry army now mob- ilized also will strike hard at the dom- estic liquor manufacturers. In the last few months huge under- ground breweries, burrowing under alleys and equipped with secret doors and pan- els, with apparatus and stocks valued at $500,000 in individual instances, have been discovered by Federal agents. More | are known to exist, for while Canadian beer is at preesnt unobtainable in any of Detroit’s 12,000 to 25,000 blind pigs, “alley beer"” is plentiful. Alcohol Is Plentiful. Alcohol, converted by the purchaser into synthetic gin, whisky, cordials and liqueurs, is also plentif What the Government has to con- tend with here in that regard is illus- trated by figures given out by Thomas E. Stone, Federal prohibition admin: istrator for Michigan, for the Detroit district _during the . month of April alone. agents raided 19 breweries, 20 distilleries, 15 stills and 17 still ‘“worms.” Contraband and property valued at $427,350 were confiscated by the agents, who also seized 36 automo- biles valued at $11,860. That the Government expects results from its new drive is foreshadowed by the announcement that additional as- | sistants will be given the district at- torney. The growth of liquor cases clogging the Federal docket here dic- tated the appointment of an additional judge, making three in all functioning in the Eastern district of Michigan. Price Expected to Soar. With the Jones law in effect, capture to shoot except in emergency. In the past, the “pullers” of the liquor boats have not been armed. The extra equipment they have carried in their boats has usually been fishing tackle, with which to pose as fishermen if Government craft drew up. But on the Detroit shore, the landing forc are armed. Gunmen guard the unload- ing and convoy the liquor to its desti- nation.
