The criminal courts of England are effective more because they move swift- ly than because they penalize harshly, in the opinion of E. Roy Calvert, Brit- ish penologist, who is in Washington to rddress an anti-capital punishment meecting tonight at the Auditorium. In the course of a survey of Eastern and Midwestern prisons, Mr. Calvert snid he noticed a pronounced tendency on the part of Americans to credit the success of the English system to severi- | ty_of punishment. | “On the contrary,” Mr. Calvert said, “the American courts have recourse to the more severe sentences. Possibly this | is an important reason why your courts move slowly. Felonies are Dunlshable‘ by long prison terms, murders by death. | As a consequence the courts proceed | with great caution and the final de- cision is often delayed for years. Penal Sentences Compared. | “In England it is rare indeed that | five months_elapse between the arrest | of the criminal and pronouncement of sentence. Most of our felons receive shorter terms than your, s for the death penalty, there is a growing pub- lic sentiment against it. We now have a majority in Parliament favoring aboli- | tion of capital punishment. 1 “Another reason why our courts move more swiftly lies in the broader power of trial judges. Their hands are not tied by technicalities, and their rulings on various questions arising from crimi- | nal trials are dictated more from tra- dition than from adherence to the let- | ter of the law. i Mr. Calvert has visited prisons in | New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, | | Michigan and in Canada since he land- |ed in New York six weeks ago. Baumes Law Criticized. He feels that the Baumes law in New York in practice is working against its original intent. “The overcrowded con- dition of prisons in the State,” Mr. Cal- vert said, “seems to be one result of the law. Prison officials there told me at many defendants whose offenses rranted misdemeanor charges were rged with felony. The prisoners to plead guilty to misdemeanor e possible conviction under the major charge. *“Another source of crime readily ap- parent to the casual observer lies in e free sale of firearms in this coun- About 70 per cent of your mur- are_committed with firearms, as against 3 per cent in England. We rarely hear of a burglar carrying a gun in England, and when one of them fis caught with such a weapon he usually is found to be a psychopathic case. | Much greater penalties are meted out for housebreaking when the culprit is found to have been armed.” Other Speakers to Be Heard. Mr. Calvert will be introduced to the meeting at 8 o'clock tonight by Charles W. Darr, president of the Chamber of Commerce. Other speakers to address the session, arranged under auspices of the new District chapter, American League to Abolish Capital Punishment, include Judge Mary O'Toole of the Municipal Court, Rev. George W. Dow, head of the Episcopal City Mission, and Dr. Francis M. Butts, local edu- cator. | HUNT FOR ABDUCTED CHILD IS FRUITLESS Mysterious Shots Bring Police De- tail—No Explanation Offered. By the Associated Press DETROIT, Mich., October 4—Search- ers for 5-year-old Jackie Thompson, missing since late Monday, were up against a blank wall today. No trace of the child or the men who are be- lieved to have kidnaped him has been of police investigation. Three shots fired in the neighbor- hood of the Thompson home sent dee tectives stationed there on a scarch of the vicinity last night. No explanation for the shots could be offered. Henry S. Thompson, father of the missing child, assured police yesterday he had received no word from his son's vestigating a number of reports that a child answering the description of Jackie has been seen. Two calls yes- terday, which resulted in the calling out of large details of officers, proved fruitless. WIFE OF SEN.ATOR_JONES’ SECRETARY DIES HERE Mrs. Lulu Facius Davis, I11 Since 1928, Is Victim of Heart Attack. Mrs. Lulu Facius Davis, wife of James H. Davis, secretary to Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington, died suddenly Wednesday at her home, 1214 Hemlock street. She will be buried Saturday at 1 p.m. in Rock Creek Ceme- tery. Services will be held at her resi- dence. Mrs. Davis had been ill since May 29, 1928, but seemed to be improving w‘t:cnkshe was seized with a fatal heart attack. She was the daughter of Rev. Gustav and Leopoldine Facius, and came to this city with her parents from Balti- more, where she was born August 12, 1871, Her father was minister of the IFirst Reformed German Church of this city for many years. Mrs. Davis was well known in musical circles and had been organist at the Chapel of the United States Soldlers’ Home for more than 35 years. Besldes her husband she is survived b& a son, Facius Wesley Davis, of this city. Are We Landlubbers? From the American Magazine.

You know we always figured that the Lord and the elements and Congress was all on the side of the rich against the farmer. So it was certainly gratifying to learn that there is a bug that is eating up the greens on the golf courses. It's called an army bug, for it comes in droves. That just shows you that the worm is turning, and the lelsure class is going to have their bo-weevil, chinch bug and grass hopper, too. Won't that be great to hear the golf player hollering for relief?

PRIZE HOME PLANS REVEAL U. S. RESIDENTIAL DESIGN CHANGES ‘NCW Trends Of Modern Architecture Are‘ Seen in Exhibition Now Underway at National C. of C. New trends in modern house design are seen in the unusual array of 114 large photographic reproductions of elevations and floor plans of dwellings of | { medium size, now on public exhibition on the first floor of the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, Connecticut avenue and H street. The drawings on display were selected from the designs submitted by approximately 3,000 architects and designers throughout the country in thc‘ Natjonal Better Homes Architectural Ccmpetition, conducted by the Home Owners' Institute and sponsored in this The exhiblt will be open to the public | 10 am. to 8 p.m. Aside from the an- nouncements in The Star, invitation to | the public to inspect the widely varied house designs was extended last night in “Flashes From the Evening Star,” | broadcast last night from Station | WMAL. ’ Scores View Drawings. | Scores of interested persons viewed | the house plans during the hours of exhibit yesterday and last night and early this morning others were on hand to_study the drawings. ! In addition to the three national prize-winning designs in the competi- | tion, in which $29,500 in awards was | made, the exhibit includes the honor- able mention house plans and others of merit from competition areas through- out the United States and virtually all entered in the regional contest spon- sored by The Star. The national winners were selected from the 39 winning designs in each of the 13 contest areas of the country. Study of these 39 designs shows, ac- cording to Arthur Bates Lincoln, con- sulting architect of the Home Owners’ Institute, “a fine group of designs.” Further, he found that in his ex- perience he had never seen designs of such merit and charm exhibiting so few of the formal characteristics we ow as Colonial or Spanish. While the large majority show English detail, really only one could be called strictly English, Four fall within Georgian de- sign, four are Spanish, two French and one Colonial. Stereotyped handling of mass is conspicuously absent among the 39 prize winners, Mr. Lincoln found. Veering of Taste Is Reflected.

Home buyers are | seeking a different type of architectural | expression. It is evident, according to Mr. Lincoln, that the juries of award, which in- cluded architects, realtors, builders, decorators and editors whose business it is to keep their fingers on the pub- lic pulse, also recognized this trend. Otherwise, it is contended, plans ex- ! of it would not have been selected almost without exception as the winning and honorable mention designs. A desire for informal living is seen by Mr. Lincoln and his associates at the institute in the preponderance of ouses of English tendency and in the informality of the treatment of the Colonial among the winning and men- tion designs, Study of these designs, says this architect, would indicate that the public is unwilling to have archi- tects prescribe the shapes of Tooms, placement of window openings, arrange- ment of furniture and routine family life, as has been the case with the more rigid and formal types of design. Americans are less ready to accept the limitations imposed by pure architce- tural form: they are demanding that older | their homes shall be designed as ma- | BHRRRRtRR Rt tR ARt Rt tRtRtR Rt thth 2 ONLY ONE OF THESE & At $2,000 Less Than Regular Price You Can Buy This Home for the Rent You Are Now Paying. $100 Why Not Come Out?

Declaring that the exhibition of these 114 house plans would be helpful !and interesting to both home owners |and builders, Mr, Lincoln makes the { following comments on the results of 1 the competition: | “Even though competitors had the option of designing houses with three or four bedrooms, the first point to be noted is that there are three times as many three-bedroom houses as there are four-bedroom designs. This shows keen interest in small house design, “As to exteriors.” Mr, Lincoln con- tinues, “14 are brick, 11 stucco, 2 stone, the balance combination of materials. “Steep roofs predominate, with eaves starting below the second-floor level. Two chimneys are favored three to one. In shape the usual rectangular type plan, typical of formal architecture, is rare; the L-shape and derivations pre- dominate. Front and side porches, ft would seem, are disappearing as the bulk of the plans show rear porches, which enjoy privacy and overlook the garden. Terraces, chiefly at the rear, are more widely used than porches. The old bay window seems also to be losing |out, 24 of the 39 houses being without this feature. In the others it is most often used in diping and living rooms. “An attached garage is not deemed important, as in a majority of cases this adjunct is placed at the rear of the lot; there is a tendency toward ga- rage location in the front of the house or in the basement. There is also a tendency to locate the main entrance at the side of the house, although front doors facing the street predominate. “Studying the interior, we find de- signers recognize the importance in a | house on a narrow lot of providing a vista from front to rear—that is, hav- ing living rooms front on street and | garden, There is evidence of & trend | toward locating service elements, kitch- en, garage and 80 on, near the street, | with living portions overlooking the garden. In area, living rooms rang: from 204 to 429 square feet, 289 being the average. Kitchens Are Small. | “Ritchen area shrinks as labor-sav- ing equipment is perfected. In these houses kitchens range from 80 square feet to 153, the average being a trifle more than 113 square feet.

In each housé =, fire- place is provided in the living room. In 31 of the designs there is a basement fireplace. In 12 there are bedroom fireplaces. In only one plan is there a dining room fireplace. “Central stairs of platform type pre- dominate. Only 12 plans show this essential against the wall; the same number show stairs which rise to the second floor without a turn; only six show curved stairs. Good planning is indicated by the fact that practically all designers provide a window that lights the second-floor hall. A strong leaning toward a private bath for the 8 shown.

Senator King Calls Late German Minister “One of Greatest Men.” A tribute to the late Dr. Gustav Stresemann, German foreign minister, was paid in the Senate today by Sena- tor King of Utah, who said his death was a “misfortune not only for Europe, but the entire world.” Dr. Stresemann was “one of the greatest men of modern times,” King sald, adding that it was largely through the German statesman’s work that the high degree of co-operation for peace among European nations was being ex- hibited today. 1s ac- g — Common Error.
