OTHSIDES PROTEST PALESTINE POLICY Arab Leaders Talk Reprisal and Jews Asks Effective Riot Suppression. By the Associated Press. JERUSALEM, September 7.—The Palestine government today recelved a barrage of protests and criticisms from both Arabs and Jews for the manner in which it b~d suppressed the rioting between themn, although the country as a whole appeared peaceful. An Arab peasant from Beit Haninah was seriously injured today, allegedly by Jews from Bir Jacob, near Jeru- salem. It was charged that other similar incidents had occurred during the week and Moslem feelings were much aroused. The Grand Mufti, leader of the Mos- lems, said in an interview that he was experiencing great difficulty in restrain- the Arabs from acts of reprisal. otests have been made by all Arab communities similar to those made earlier by the Arab executive, which state that the proclamation by Sir John Chancellor, high commissioner, on September 1, was issued before proper inquiry had been made into the facts. The Arabs sald they were convinced from the tone of the proclamation that Zionist propaganda had misinterpreted the facts in order to gain world sym- pathy. ‘Meanwhile the general council of the Jewish community in Palestine and other Jewish bodies submitted a joint memorandum to the high commissioner, criticizing the government and demand- ing alleviation of the situation in Palestine. It was charged that the government dig/not take proper precautions to pre- wnt the outbreaks and did not use proper methods to stem the riot. "Among other things, appointment of a commission was demanded to study ways of establishing security of life and property in general and Jewish settlements ~ particularly throughout Palestine. Southern Palestine Quieter. The Jewish telegraphic agency re- ported that the military are confident that no more trouble need be expected in the Southern part of Palestine. This was shown in the removal toward Jaffa of the plane-carrier Courageous, which was anchored off Gaza, when the Be- douins in the neighborhood of Beer- ;hrbn threatened to march on Jerusa- em. Much attention was attracted by the arrest Friday afternoon of Samuel Roze, head of the Jewish community of Motzafi near Jerusalem, where a num- ber of Jews were killed. Roze, who settled in Motza 40 years ago, lost his entire property during the attack, his farm having been destroyed by fire. His arrest was made on an affidavit by a local Arab policeman charging mur- der. He was released this afternoon un- der $2.500 bail, furnished by the Anglo- Palestine Co. The Jewish telegraphic agency also reported that a Jew was stabbed late this afternoon while returning from the ‘Wailing Wall. The authorities nipped in the bud a riot which threatened to de- velop over the incident. SOME TROOPS WITHDRAWN. London Reports Quieter Conditions in Palestine. LONDON, September 7 (£).—The racial situation in Palestine has so far quieted down that the British authori- ties have been able to withdraw some of the outlying detachments of troops. A communique from the colonial of- fice tonight said: “The situation in Palestine was re- ported to be quiet in all districts. It has been possible to withdraw some of the outlying detachments of troops, but the disaffected areas are being pa- trolled. “Police forces supplemented by the troops have been successful in recov- ering a certain amount of looted property.” WINSTON CHURCHILL TO VISIT CALIFORNIA British Statesman, at Seattle, Says Criminal Convictions in England Have Been Cut in Half. By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, September 7.— Winston Churchill, Britieh statesman, was on his way to California today after stop- ping here long enough to assert that his countrymen are voluntarily drinking less liquor each year and that as a re- sult crflmlnll convictions have been cut alf, Churchill declined to comment on the prohibition problem in America, but said it would never succeed in his own coun- try; “the British have a deep-rooted prejudice against compulsion,” he said. “British drinking is diminishing, from champagne down to beer,” Churchill declared. “During my five years as cellor of the exchequer, I had to write off 3,000,000 pounds sterling a year from this source. As a result, our criminal convictions have been cut in half. There has been an immense de- crease in drunkenness, and we've actu- ally had to shut down some of our risons. “We realize 100,000,000 pounds ster- ling a year from our liquor taxes— which, I understand, you give to your bootleggers.” Asked if he expected that the labor rty, whose recent victory removed fi?m from office, would remain long in power, he said: “Y &eq't see why they shouldn't— do something crazy. And they aren’t likely to do that because they haven't a majsrity, and if they did anything radicall» socialistic, they'd be turned out of ofwe as quick as a wink."” Churchill and his oarty expect to ss some time as guests of William g:ndolph Hearst while in California. .

His duty, it seems, is to find out what is wrong with the Na- tion’s machinery for bringing the crim- inal to the bar of justice. Chief Vollmer (he retains the title here because he is just on leave of ab- sence from his home city) has a knack for finding out what is wrong with po- lice departments and with men. Wins Gold Medal. He found out what was wrong wtih police methods in Berkeley, and the changes he effected there won for him last year the gold medal of the Harmon Foundation for “the greatest contribu- tion to social sciences for the year.” So successful was he in diagnosing po- lice problems in his own jurisdiction that other citis and other countries have called to him for counsel. In all, . his advice has been sought in more than , & score of instances and in consequence thereof a number of cities have insti- tuted drastic reorganizations in their | police departments. “Vollmerizing” a police department has come to mean transforming it into a highly scientific laboratory for the analysis, as well as the prevention and detection of crime. Under this ad vanced system a policeman senses an obligation not only to apprehend the criminal, but to prevent his children from following in his steps. Organizes Crime Preventors. In recognizing this responsibility, Chief Vollmer set up within the Berkeley Police Department a unique “crime prevention division,” composed of psychiatrists and social workers, and this division seeks to promote the health, happiness and general welfare of children. “We are just approaching delinquency and crime from a different point of view,” Vollmer explained yesterday at his new office in the headquarters of the commission, in the Tower Building. “We have in Berkeley a crime preven- tion unit that takes into consideration all factors—school, physical, educa- tional and moral. The unit achieves its aims through co-ordination of the work of interested agencies. “We hold that in every community there are now in existence sufficient agencies, public and private, to stamp out delinquency, if their efforts were properly co-ordinated. We have found Lthe key to co-ordination in our crime prevention division.” Chief Vollmer approaches other phases of crime from “a different point of view.” Any one of the thou- sands of persons who have faced the chief’s truth-seeking robot, “Diogenes”, at Berkeley police headquarters will testify to that. The Berkeley depart- ment is said to be the only one in the country which has installed the “lie detector” as official equipment. What Chief Volimer thinks of this emotion- testing machine is of interest. Explain “Lie-Detector.” “The lie-detector?” he said. “Why, T consider it the most promising instru- ment which society may use in the detection of crime!” Volimer's face had grown serious, and he emphasized his statement with a bang of his fist on the polished mahogany desk. “I introduced the lie-detector to Berkeley 10 years ago. During that time 10,000 cases have been recorded without a single failure, so far as we have been able to learn. Of course, the machine is still in an experimentai stage. Before the world will accept it, its infallibility must be tested in thou- sands of additional cases. I am con- vinced it will prove of great value to the world.” The commission’s police expert does not look like a Sherlock Holmes, despite his analytical mind and his use of science in crime detection. Nor is he the type of hard-boiled cop often de- picted on the screen or in books One might take Chief Vollmer for a college professor, and the truth of the matter is that he is just that. When he can spare the time from his police duties in Berkeley he teaches police adminis- tration at the University of Chicago. He also is a member of the faculty of the University of California. Volimer intends to approach his latest problem with the same thorough- ness that he has approached the others.

Besides equipping his own police de- partment with the lie detector device, Chief Vollmer has provided every man covering a beat with an automcbile, stant touch with headquarters by radio. The Detroit police department, which he reorganized three years ago, also has radio-equipped cars. He has pro- moted the so-called “red signal” sys- tem for recalling officers, modern ma- chines for tabulating criminal statistics and European methods of classifying crimes. Unele Sam's new policeman-professor crime expert insists he will not inject any “personal views” into his report on police conditions as he finds them dur- |ing his Nation-wide survey. No one can gainsay, however, that his appoint- ment to the national commission is, in a way at least, a recognition of his re- markable achievements in “approaching the problem of crime from a different slant.” OFFICERS ELECTED BY PSYCHOLOGISTS | Congress of Scientists Makes Dr. Hoffding of Copenhagen Its President.

Brock Devotes Most of Her Time to Church Work. |Will Spend Winter in Capital and Enter Younger Son in School Here. Special Dispatch to The Star. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., September 7.—Mrs. W. E. Brock, wife of the newly appointed United States Senator from Tennessee, is old fashioned enough to believe “the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” This Virginia-born and Tennessee-bred matron, therefore, has no desire to be a political leader, and while she has taken little interest in politics she thinks it “the Christian duty” of every woman to take advan- tage of her franchise. ‘The charming wife of the newly- named Senator from the Volunteer State has devoted almost her entire time to church work and philanthropic endeavors. Mrs. Brock doesn't dance or play cards. She is the daughter of an old- time Baptist minister, who preached in the days when rules governing church members were not so elastic. Since her father's death she has always been zealous to carry out his ideals. Taught Men's Bible Class. For 15 years Mrs. Brock remained in the Baptist Church after her mar- riage to a Methodist, but upon the death of her father joined the Trinity Methodist Church of Chattanooga, and there taught the largest men's Bible class in the city for more than five years. She is now teacher of the young people’s Bible class at Trinity, the membership of which includes more than a hundred young men and women of the city. ‘The writer called on Mrs. Brock the other day at their Missionary Ridge home, and the conversation hadn't progressed far about her husband’s re- cent senatorial appointment, when a young man came up on the porch, tipped his hat with a “Good morning, Mrs, Brock.” He was asked to wait a fewv minutes in an adjoining room. “He has a wonderful voice,” she said. “Have you heard him? I'm trying to arrange some way to give him a musi- cal education.” Again referring to her husband's ap- pointment, she said, “It came like & bolt from a clear sky, but it will be a marvelous opportunity for observation and education. The contacts in Wash- | ington will be interesting and enlight- | ening.” | That every woman should be inter- | ested in her husband's business de- | velopment is the opinion maintained | by Mrs. Brock, and in doing this the | Tennessee Senator's wife feels that she | has merely carried out a feature that should be incorporated in_ the life of every wife and mother. “T've tried to carry my end of the load, believing that a house should have a united in- terest,” she said. adding, “Woman's in- fluence is the strongest influence in | the world, and the more womanly she |1s in the use of it the more powerful she will be.” Senator's Hobby Is People. ‘The Senator’s hobby is people,’ marked Mrs. Brock. “No,” she an- swered, “we haven't any pets” and glancing down in the direction of a beautiful private swimming pool, she said, “Mr. Brock and I rarely use it but the children of the neighborhood have big times with their swims.” The garden has a commanding view of the valley below. There were many varjeties of flowers in bloom and scores of other plants under cultivation, all of which showed signs of an expert's touch. “You may say this is really my recreation, I suppose, as I spend practically all of my spare time here,” she said.

CHINESE BEGGARS TURNTO CHOOSING Starved Soldiers Board Ship,; Seize Food and Drown | Cook Over Displeasure. By the Associated Press. SHANGHAI, China, September 7.— The old fable about beggars not being choosers went by the boards recently when a mob of half-starved Chinese soldiers crowded the d-cks of the Kinagteh, a Yangtsze River steamer, invaded the cook’s galley, ate every- thing in sight and then threw the cook overboard because the ‘“chow” hadn't suited them. ‘This was only one of the many similar incidents that have occurred on the Yangtsze in recent months. A week seldom passes but what the dis- banded and starving soldiers of either the government or some rebel general's forces force their way aboard a river steamer, manhandle the passengers and devour all the food they can lay their hands on. Boat Owned by 'chlneu. The Kinagteh, latest victim of- such an episode, was owned and officered by Chinese. It was boarded at Nanking on its way to Hankow by 100 disbanded soldiers. They refused to pay for their passage and demanded food. Thcy made a rush for the galley, gobbled up all that the cook set out in front of them and then said the food was not good enough. As balm for their wounded dignities and damag>d stomachs they said payment of $500 | would be “just about right.” Their demands for money were laughed at, and in the scene that fol- lowed the cook was thrown overboard. ‘The chief officer attempted to throw over a line but the soldiers held him. After watching the cook drown the soldiers gave the chief officer a severe thrashing for daring to delay the ship. ‘They also beat the captain because he sounded the whistle. On arrival at Kiukiang the soldiers quit the boat. British in Like Trouble. ‘Two British steamers, the Poyang | and the Siangwo, met with similar trouble a short time previous to the Klangteh episode. The Poyang was boarded by 1,300 soldiers at a po: called Shasi. They compelled the cap- tain to take them to Hankow. To add | insult to injury, a detachment of guv- ernment troops farther down the river opened fire on the rebels, which event transformed a peaceful British river | steamer into a rebel troopship. The Siangwo ran into trouble at | Shasi. Two hundred soldiers boarded | the vessel and the captain was forced to take them to Hankow. They de- ded the best of everything in the y of food and the captain let them have their way. Prisoner Turns Author. TRENTON, N.

RITCHIE REITERATES STATE RIGHTS VIEW Great Issue Is Whether berii'-; ocratic Government Will " Prevail, He Declares. ~ By the Associated Press. ARETH, , September T | Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryl NAZ Pa., speaking here today reiterated his views on State rights and local self- government. The political situation bristles with issues for the Democratic party, he said, but the great issue is. not so much whether the Democratic. party shall prevail as it is whether democracy and democratic government. shall prevail. The governor's address was deliv- ~ ered before Northampton County Dewd- ocrats at the fair grounds. “Rights and liberties that are guars anteed to us by charter and tradi are peing lost and sacrificed in thfi itsel flux of events, and democracy is being put to the test,” he declared. “The masses are becoming conscious of the appalling growth of the Fed- eral Government and of its overriding centralization. They are to see the danger to their individual lib- erty from the decay and apathy of the States from the encroachments on the right of self-government. “In the presence of a government with a blg business complex the ordi- | nary man loses interest in his National Government, because it is too remote and loses interest in his local govern~ ment because its functions are diverted. He lets rights guaranteed to him and his State sink tude. “He falls an easy victim to the propa- ganda and the programs of energetic minorities and to extra-governmental groups and hierarchies which know what they want and descend upon the central government for it. Smith Won in Defeat. “There is only one way to get the people back into their Government. That is to give them the largest pos- sible measure of self-government, indi- vidually, in their business and in their political life. Speaking of the defeat of Gov. Smith in the presidential election, Gov. Ritchie said Smith, in losing, achieved a great victory for the cause of democracy. ‘“‘He revealed to us both democracy’s strength and its weakness and lald foundations on which the future can build,” he said.
