CRIME RECORD CITED
Indeterminate Sentence Is
Scored, and Speed and
Severity Instead
. ' Are Advocated.
(Associated Press Leased Wire.)
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Dec. 31.
In view of conditions which he
(aid make neither life nor property
safe throughout the land. Dr. Fred
erick L. Hoffman, Babson Institute,
Babson Park, Mass., urged here to
day that a federal law be enacted
to prevent sending pistols through
the malls and to eliminate the In
determinate sentence.
"The indeterminate sentence,"
tie said, in addressing the social
nnd economic section of the Amer
ican Association for the Advance
ment of Science, in convention
here, "is unquestionably an evil, re
gardless of occasional Instances In
which IU imposition Is obviously
Justified. Punishment should be
primarily a question of speed and
certainty. It is much less a ques
tion of severity. But speed in this
country Is slow and severity is
rare."
t'Too much evidence. In murder
rases," he added, "proves that we
take much too lightly and the mur
derer Is often treated with extreme
ncl,lnn,f lr.n Th. victim In
volved, Is as a rule, quickly forgot
ten." The speaker asserted as "the
bitter truth" that "murder In the
United States Is a trade, encour
aged by profit-making Interests and
condoned by an apathetic public."
America's Murder Record.
"Murder In America." he pur
sued, "is essentially done by shoot
ing. The habit of carrying pistols
or possessing pistols Is widespread,
nd, in certain sections the the
country, especially the south, al
most universal.
"In all the 11,000 murder deaths
In the United States In 1924, about
70 per cent were the result of
shooting. A federal law against
sending pistols through the mall
would unquestionably materially
decrease homicide.
"Efforts to enact such legislation
In the past have been defeated by
powerful lobby representing the
manufacturers of pistols and other
firearms, also shady mail order
houses.
"We forget that crime In Amerl
, ca Is today an organized and well
paying Industry, In which hundreds
of thousands are engaged for a
livelihood."
He asked for "an Intelligent fact
finding investigation," by state and
federal government of the extent
of crime and Its punishment.
Dr. Frank E. E. Germann. pro
fessor of chemistry at the Universi
ty of Colorado, stressed the need
for cooperation and a better un
derstanding between Industry and
the pomilar academic science.
Dr. Liberty Hyde Bailey, former
dean of the school of agriculture at
Cornell Vnlversltv, Ithaca. N. Y.,
was today elected president of the

TACOMA. Wash., Dec, 31. A
fifth body was found by divers at
noon today In tho wreck ot tne
municipal lino trolley car which
last night piunoed eixty feet from
tho Eleventh street bridge Into tho
city waterway.
Tho body la believed to Bo max
of John Dahl, a carpenter.
The .city council this morning
ordered a complete investigation of
tho catastrophe, which resulted
when tho street ear plunged
through tho bridge barrier while
the draw was raised to permit
passage of a vessel.

wreckage of a Tacoma municipal
street car which last night plunged
through the open draw of tbe 11th
street bridge carrying four persons
to death and causing Injuries to
tour others.
One of the survivors asserts
that at least a dozen persons were
on the trolley at the time. This is
denied, however, by the operator
of the car who declares that only
eight persons were aboard.
Those known to be dead are:
O. E. A. Farrow, physician.

K. Kagamoga, 40, cuts about the

Earl Hurd, 54, badly brulBed and
suffering from shock.
Falllno Brakes Blamed.
Failure of the brakes on the
street car Is blamed by Clyde Sta
ler operator, for the accident. Sta-
ley declared that he applied the air
brakes in the usual manner as the
car came on to the bridge and be
noticed the warning lights on the
towered gates. At their failure to
respond he used the band brake
and then released the sand and
threw his irlotor Into reverse, he
asserted. The street csr then
struck an automobile standing be
fore the first gate and knocked
the mnchlne through title barrier
and off to one aide against a sec
ond, inside gate.
Seeing that his car was beyond
control and an accident unavoid
able. Stalev threw open the doors
and shouting a warning to the
passengers, leaped out. He landed
unhurt on the deck of the bridge.
Hurd. the only one of the pass
engers who hrd an opportunity to
heed the warning, also leaped hut
not until the street csr had toppled
from the bridge. Hurd plunged
through the air to the waters of
the bay..
The street car. which was one
of those built during the war to
carry shin yard workers, broke In
to several pieces as It fell, wit
nesses ssv. This fact probably ac
counted for the rescue of four who
survived.
