JMPRlSONfl) criminals in one of
New York's numerous iienllcn
liarius list? in revolt and provide
black headlines for the whole couh
try. Here is the outcome ot it, told
in the dispatches n few hours after
ward:
"A beaten, sullen group of con
victs tonight saw the law wrench
from their grasp control of Auburn
prison, gained during the day at a
coat of eight prisoners" lives."
TJERE is a statement that takes
in a lot of territory, hut this
writer believes it to be true:
If the forces ot law and or
der would approach the general
problem of crime as decisively and
determinedly as they approach
specific problems of crime such ns
sensational attempts to break jail,
there would be far less talk of
crime waves in this countrv.
AGAIN makUm a broad slate
" meut, there is far less organiz
ed crime in the country districts
and the smaller towns than In the
big cities.
Why? Why, especially In view of
the fact that the big cities spend
vast sums of public money in the
organization and training of pro
fessional police forces, whereas
fciio country towns spend very
little?
You should think that the yeggs
and the slick-lip artists and the
racketeers and all the rest of the
criminal tribe, overawed by the
costly professional police forces of
the big cities, would flock out Into
the country, where there Is rela
tively little police protection.
pUT they DON'T! Ami the fact
that ihey don't prompts a fines
t ion: "Why don't they?" Here la an
answer which this writer believes
to be an accurate answer:
The criminal classes, again
broadly speaking, prefer the big
cities because lliey are funda
mentally unafraid of the Ink city
police forces, and they stay out of
the eo-niry places because they
AUK AFRAID of the country po
lv forces.
i A GAIN a question arises in your
Vuimi: "Why AREN'T they
afraid in the bis cities, and why
AUK they afraid in the country?'
It is because they recognize that
the big city police, forces, profes
sionally organized ami dominated
by politics, look upon the conflict
with crime as a sort of game, to be
played according to the accepted
ruh-s; whereas the country police
men, although less carefully train
ed, are in DEAD EARNEST when
they go after criminals.
IF THE big cities, with their huge
police departments, ever become
as much in earnest about stamping
out crime as the country districts
and the small cities already are, we
shall see a very sudden and very
great diminution or the much
talked of crime wave.

today for the first time asserted
its power to compel a railroad to
build, against its will, extensive
new lines, when it directed the
Union Pacific system to construct
1S1 miles of line between Crane

approximate cost of S9.00ft.000.

Victory for Oregon
The coimriaint, brought bv the
Oregon public service commission,
said the central portion of the
state had not been provided with
the proper rail facilities and that
the east-west line from Crane to

In the opinion, the commission
said the complaint was Justified.
Two com m i ks toners, P. ra f no rd

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13. The
smiling And affable face of Jo
seph R. Grundv, who took the oaih
vpsterday as the new senator from
Pennsylvania, was one of the first
seen in the senate chamber and
i's presence resulted in the sen

three years.
Grundy apparently was giving
no thought to 1 he turmoil of Ikb
than 24 hours ago when a group
of senators spoke out in protest
against his taking a seat because
they said he had been connected
with the now famous Pennsyl

More friendly than yesterday, a
number of senators shook hands
with him as they passed.

SHANGHAI, Bee. 13. Forces of
the nationalist government today
apparently lied fcught to a stand
still three rebellions armies in
wldelv separated parts of China
but the threat cf widespread re
voit. aimed t the overthrow of
Nanking, still remained.
Probably the most outstanding
victory was that over the insurg
ent forces which were beaten back
from th gates of Canton with
heavy losses. Reports from
the southern metropolis indicated
that the "Ironsides" division of
General Chang Fak-Wel and in
surgents from Kwait28i province
which several weeks ago cooperat
ed in an advance upon Canton,
stiil were retreati".
These rebels were whipned in a
b'oody three-da v batfie just out
side the city. Half of the Insurg
ents were said to have been num
bred among the casualties. In
cluding captured. Nationalist loss
es were not mentioned.
Another unit of the nationalist
army was credited with having
stopped the advance uon Nan- j
king, the nationalist canlfal. of the j
Pnkow mutineers at Chuchow. SO:
miles north of the rebel objective.;
Rome 30.000 rebels were involved
in this encounter. Troops drawn
by th government from the less
rebeilioiisly inclined areas were
whipped Into an army to stop the
mutineers and were reported to

subsided.
The third nationalist success, al
