BUREAU DEPLORES DRY LAW “TRAPS” Method That “Shocked” Chi- cago Judge Not Tolerated by Officials Here. The Prohibition Bureau disapproves of “entrapment or schemes bordering on entrapment” in securing evidence against dry law violators, officials an- nounced yésterday in commenting on reported methods which “shocked” judges of the United States Circult Court of Appeals in Chicago. 2 Howard T. Jones, acting prohibition director, reserved a formal cpinion on the Chicago decision, pending receipt of a copy of the court's statement and the return of Col Amos W. Woodcock, directcr.- It was learned, however, that a pre- liminary inquiry has disclosed that the criticized methods did not involve opera- tlon by Indianapolis prohibition agents of & speakeasy, as reported in press dispatches. The agents did, however, rent a room, in which policemen and “bootleggers were brought together, with ‘allegedly corrupt consequences. Sense of Justice Shocked. § 'The court decision, freeing five .Indianapolis policemen convicted last {year cf conspiracy to protect a speak- easy, is quoted in part as follows: “Tt is unnecessary to the due admin- n of the criminal laws and it 5 Hstrati ishocks the court’s sense of justice to ipermit a prosecution to proceed where jthe evidence shows the ofiender was in- ‘nocent of wrong-doing and free of evil Fintent prior to his acquaintance with fthe Government or State representa- stives, who, in the professed cause of faw. enforcement, proceed, first to cor- “rupt the accused's mind by possibilities of profit and gain through violatioX of fthe ctatutes, and then, surrounded by raccomplices as witnesses, await the Idownfall and ignominy of the victim. " The court conceded there had been a conspiracy to violate the prohibition tlaw, but declared: ©"“Tne conspiracy was conceived by the jthree prohibition agents, who enlisted “the services of a decoy. Such a situa- ition-is not dissimilar to the case where ‘one arranges through a third party for #a robbery to be permitted upon himself Iwith a view of receiving a reward. ‘The iGovernment should not be permitted to jopt means which are condemned by he court when practiced by its eit- “izens, Under Regional Office.

LOS ANGELES, August 1—The long and apparently happy romance of Mae Murray, d blonde of the screen, ahd Prince David Z. M'Dvani came to an abrupt end today when the actress filed suit for divorce in which she revealed many alleged instances of cruelty and beatings. The suit surprised friends. It was learned they separated only yesterday. Rumors of discord which attach to nearly every Hollywood marriage never had touched the couple. ‘The complaint was based on charges of extreme cruelty, the first alleged in- stance being more than three years ago. The actress charged the prince, member of a royal family in the Euro- pean state of Georgia and interested in film productions and oll, had pursued “a continuous course of inhuman and cruiel treatment,” inflicting ‘“grievous bodily injuries,” and “grievous mental suffering.” She also charged that the prince had threatened her with a revolver.

Birth of the boy was kept secret by the couple for nearly two years. ‘The couple married in Beverly Hills, June 28, 1926, after they had met while she was traveling in Europe. The prince has two brothers, one of whom, Prince Serge, recently married Mary Mc- Cormic, the opera singer, following a divorce from Pola Negri. Miss Murray had been inactive in pictures in recent years until several months ago when she started work again. She was a star in silent pic- tures. Her figure has been described as one of the most perfect ones in filmdom. Miss Murray had been married twice before, once to an actor, Jay O'Brien, and the second time to Robert Z.

The commis- sion asserted, “No other city has such a record.” In the experts' reports specific crit- ieism was made of present or past con- ditions in New York, Chicago, Los An- geles, Kansas City, Cleveland, Minneap- olis, Denver and other cities. Vollmer asserted, however, that there was _“no chemically pure city,” adding: “True, an_honest enforcement of the law is possible, but even with honest enforcement of the law the truth must be recognized that the ~bsoiute elimina- tion of vice in its multiplicity of forms is beyond the power of law cniorcement officials.” CLEANED UP MILWAUKEE. and sys- | I Late John T.

Then, he sald, the other man returned and helped Gordon to drag him into the automobile, and the car sped away. According to witnesses, however, only two men were in the machine, while Gordon stood beside it. The automobile was parked in the first block of M street for more than an hour, resi- dents of the neighborhood said, while Gordon and his companions apparently were waiting for some one. Dermott, the witnesses declared, walked from an alley nearby and turned int6 M street. As he drew abreast of the car, they said, Gordon attacked him.

He racovered the pipe, he asserted, and | struck Dermott in self-defense. Later at the garage he continued to ques- tion them, he said, and Dermott again attacked him.

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Action has just been initiated by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States looking to the removal of the Japanese exclusion clause from the im- migration law of 1924. At the instiga- tion of business leaders from the States of California, Oregon and Washington, the Immigration Committee of the Chamber of Commerce has recommend- ed to the board of directors that the “discrimination now existing in Amer- ican immigration laws against Japan and other Far Eastern countries” be abolished and that the nationals of these countries be put on the quota basis, the same as European nationals. It is expected that the mber of Commerce directors will in due course take steps toward legislation by Con- gress at the coming session. Although the Japanese government has consistently refrained from making any formal diplomatic request for re- moval of the exclusion provision, the issue rankles like a thorn In Japan's side. On recurring occasions in the Tokio Parllament, Japanese foreign ministers reaffirm the island empire’s expectation that the United States some day will right the wrong all Japanese {feel was put upon their racial pride by this country seven years ago. The last utterance on this score was made by Baron Shidehara in the Diet at Tokio on January 22, 1931. The former Jap- |anese Ambassador at Washington said:! “On the question of the United Stat: immigration law, which for the past seven years has been weighing heavily on popular sentiment in this country. there is no longer any doubt that our position is mow fully understood and appreciated by a large majority of the American people. We shall watch further development of the question with unimpassioned but keen interest.” Revision Considered. About & year ago Representative Albert Johnson, Republican of Wash- ington, one of the authors of the 1924 act and still chairman of the House Committee on Immigration, announced that revisonary legislation was under consideration. ‘The late Mr. Hanthara who was Japan's Ambassador to tl United States during the enactment of the exclusion law, made a speech in Tokio at a farewell dinner in honor of William R. Castle, jr, now Under- | secretary of State. Ambassador Hani- hara, whose celebrated “grave conse- }quencel” hrase in a letter to Secretary | Hughes about the impending exclusion law irked Congress into its passage, spoke bitterly of the slight offered his people. Chairman Johnsen, evidently moved by Mr. Hanihara's remarks, 1°- ponded with the following statement: “In due tire, after certain immigra- tion legislation has been disposed of, 1 expect to move for an. amendment to the 1924 act that will give to Japan its proportionate quota. This would end the feeling that has existed in con- nection with that phase of the 1924 act. The amendment will not affect the integrity of the 1924 act.” ‘The Chamber of Commerce of the United States presumably will not pro- ceed to bri pressure to bear upon Chairman Johnson of the House Im- migration Committee and Senator John. son, Republican, of California, chair- man of the Senate ITmigration Com- mittee, to promote quota legislation for Japanese and other Orientals now under | the ban. = The committee of Western business leaders, who s sponsoring| L)(\e project, include important captains| o | Washington, Minnesota, Illinois, Texas, | Utah, Micnigan and Ohio, as well as| business men from several Eastern and, Southern States. They are frankly actuated by the fear that unless Uncle Sam gives Japan a square deal| on immigration, American trade in the | Japanese market will seriously suffer.| Asa G. Briggs of St. Paul, chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Immigration Committee, said: Time Is Opportune. “It was the committee’s judgment | that initiative for a change in our laws along the lines suggested should come from that part of the country most di- rectly interested. Present conditions make this a most opportune time for serious consideration of this subject on the part of all our citizens. The question is a practical one covering the rela- tions Detween great nations that should I'be on the friendliest terms. The num- | ber of immigrants would be so small as to be negligible. The quota for Japan would be approximately 185 a year and for China 105 a year.” The effectiveness of the quota limit system for restricting Far Eastern im- migration was emphasized by Secretary of Labor Davis in his 1930 report, in which it was said: “The quota limit system, which is now chiefly applied to Europe, would, with possibly some | adjustments, afford adequate or in some instances even more complete control of Oriental immigration than now exists under the various earlier statutes relating thereto.” The statistics of the Immigration Bu- reau show that in the six-year period, 1925 to 1930, inclusive, 6,000 more Chi- nese and 20,000 more Japanese de- parted from than entered the United ! States. Although the Chamber of Commerce Committee deduces from all this that ‘“real immigration” from China, Japan and other countries of the Orient has been “almost entirely | stopped,” sharp issue is taken with the chamber project by the California Joint Immigration Committee at San Francisco. This body speaks for the California American Legion, the State Federation of Labor and the Native Sons of the Golden West. The com- mittee's policy calls for exclusion of all aliens ineligible for American citi- zenship. It contends that the quota for Japan and other Asiatic countries would in effect repeal the exclusion permission, since it would admit es im- migrants the unassimilable races of | Asia, whose entrance is expressly for- bidden by the law. Disputes Trade Loss. The militant spearhead of the Cali- fornia Joint Immigration Committee, V. 8. McClatchy, its executive secre- tary, also disputes that American trade- with Japan is being undermined by continuance of the exclusion law. Mr. McClatchy says: “It had been claimed that loss of 20 per cent of the lumber trade of the Pacific Northwest with Japan in 1929 was due to ill will because of our im- migration policy, end that California's canned goods trade had suffered through Japan's luxury tax imposed ifor similar reason. It appears, how- ever, that for five years following pas- sage of the immigration act of 1924, the Pacific Northwest enjoyed a very large and lucrative trade in lumber with Japan; that the .1929 slump was not due to ill will on Japan's part, but to general world conditions, to Japan's lessened purchasing ability, to substitution of other building materials for wood, to competition of Canada and Siberia, etc. Japan’s luxury tax was an economic measure to adjust her foreign trade balance by forcing her people to do without im luxuries, {or to accept Japanese substitutes there- {for. It aff~cled British commerce more seriously than American, as indicated by vigorous protests from many Brit- jich chambers of commerce. Japan ap- parently still buys where she can buy to best advantage.” (Copyrisht. 1381 e German Physicist Dies. BAYREUTH, Germany, August 1 (). il ST i TS Grunau, aged 85. { | | Lindberghs Visit U. S.

It will also serve as a great encouragement and preparation for Turkish aviators. I congratulate you warmly personally, I salute the great American Nation and I respectfully greet the President of your Republic. Bon voyage, and may you always realize the same success.” Replying in behalf of the aviators, Ambassador Grew expressed the warm- est appreciation for the reception they had received since their arrival in Tur- key. There would be many results of their flight he said, but the most im- portant was bringing the Turkish and American peoples closer together.

Riding through th-. park about the villa afterward, the airmen glimpsed the President’s adopted daughters on horse- back and returned over the moonlit Sea of Marmora, in Mustapha Kemal's launch, to Istanbul. On the return journey Boardman said: “We are absolutely overwhelmed by the greatness of Turkish hospitality. We never expected so much honor. I was deeply impressed by the opportunity of meeting Mustapha Kemal, Turkey's great leader, whose force and vision created the new Turkey.” Boardman said he would decide with- in the next three days the route of their return trip.
