five prime reasons have been advanced
to the committee as the cause of the

Second, that the crime wave, Instead
of being an outgrowth of tho war. Is

the ooorta are only for tho rich and deny
justice to the poor, with tbo resultant
tendency on tbo part of tbo poor man
taking tho law Into his own bands.
Fourth, that the trouble is largely with
the members of tho bar . themselves.
Maiy men practicing law today, the
committee has been told, ought to bo tn

Fifth, that conviction for crime In tho

Taylor In Los Angeles, February 1.
Brunen, formerly a close friend of

out and they hastened away. No shot
was heard.
"Wiping out old scores." was the basis
of the theory that Brunen was killed by
Taylor's slayers. Both Taylor and Bru

The assassins' methods were the same

Washington. March 11. 4 1. N. R '
Secretary of State llugbea injected him- '
elf Into the treaty fight tn the senate
today by writing a lengthy letter to '.
Senator Underwood, one of- the Aaneri-
can delegates at the conference. In which
he scored the thinly veiled Intimations
made In the senate thai the American "
delegates were "Imposed on" la tho mak
ing of the four power pact .
Such intimation, Hughe declared vig
orously, constitute a "reflection' oa the-,.
American delegates. ,
The secretary's letter hinged about
questions that hsve been raised In tho
senate as-to tho authorship of the treaty
and the open charges made by some sen- -alora
that it "was conceived! by; Balfour
and written by Kato. ,
INDICATES HE WROTE IT
While not answering the. quest ten of
"who wrote the treaty directly, Cocro
tary of State Hughes indies ted In bis
letter that he himself was the author Of
the pact - . .
The failure of the senate to ratify the "
treaty. Huarhes declared, would be atoU-
Ing short of a national calaanlty. . - . ;
The text et Hughes' let ter.foi lows :
"I understand .that In the course of
debate in the senate upon the. four-
power treaty, questions hsve been reised
with respect to its authorship. It seems
to be Implied that In some' way the
American delegates have been Imposed
upon, or that they were Induced to ac-
cept some plan cunningly contrived by
others and opposed to our interests.
Apart from the reflection noon tho com-
