Then the following mornln. Ribaa

Ribaa had made a aketch aboard of
the Japanese Importer, a married man

cabin at 7 a. m. the mornm the
boat docked from lta "show boat

Ribaa, telling of bla attempt to de

he had heard severe quarreling tn Fu

"I went to the cabin about 7 a. m.
and the Japanese had not been In his

When the boat docked that morning
there waa no trace of the Importer.

By DEXTER H. TEED
(NEA Service Writer)
NEW YORK. The great metro-
polls that meekly pays millions to
ruthless racketeera every year, baa
suddenly been shamed by the example
of a little, brown-eyed bootblack.
When a petty racketeer demanded
tribute from Ysauro Anduagua be
didn't pay. He fought, fought with a
fiercenesa and indomitable spirit that
would not be denied, swung his clench
ed fists against the jaw or a grown
man and shouted for hia fellows to
help. Ysauro won.
And now blase New York which
ham vnivnAd Hist Interested? at gang
dom's guns, murder and heartless vio
lence, has found new cournge because
of the inspiring deed oi a numDie
shiner of shoes.
Indignant at uangsters
TTntn the hour when he met face-
to-face a racketeer, Ysauro wns like
many boya who try to earn honest
pennies by shining ahoes. He worked
in the Bowling Green section of down
town Manhattan. Although he la
IB. he la small for hla age. But hla
experiencea on the streets of the city
have made hlnl keen-witted and wary.
He haa read of gangsters and rack
eteera. And unlike some boys who
admire gunmen, he detests them with
a vigor that finds expression In fiery
comment. Here is what he says about
tbem:
"It's a shame to let bums like Al
Capone and Lega Diamond run loose.
They oughts be hung both of em."
His eyes light up with wrath. His
whole body trembles with anger.
"If I waa running a atore, or some
thing, and one of these gangsters came
In and told me I'd have to pay or
meblte get ahot or bombed, well. I
wouldn't pay, that'a all. I'd smash
him in the jaw. and then T'd call the
cops. And if some dirty gunmen said
he'd shoot me I wouldn't pay any
way." Ha Stood Firm
That was how Ysauro felt about
It. And tliia is what happened the
first time he actually came face to
face with the racket:
Ysauro wns working at his trade,
laboriously earning the nickels he
tnkus hnmn to heln stinnort the fam
ily, when Nicholns Zanipanl, 23 years
old. approached him.
"Come on you kids, pay me 1PI cents
apiece." demanded Zamliani. "I got
a concesh from the federal govern
ment for shining shoes here end if
you want to stay, pay me. See?
Melibe you'll get beaten up If you
don't."
Other boys had paid, paid the hard
earned nickels that are not so plenti
ful these rlnys ns they once were.
Zampanl had collected In other parts
of the city. But when Ysauro heard
the demand all the resentment against
racketeers that had been dammed up
In him burst out.
"1 won't psy. yon bum!" he cried.
Znmpanl clutched at the lad. Aa
ha did. all the pent-up fury of the
boothlaek'a 100 pounds surged Into ac
tion. He pummelled Znmpanl In the
face. He fought as If his life were
at stake. His pal. William Nach
trieh. 15. and other boys leaped in
to help him.
And all the ghosts of the stubborn
old Dutch burghers who paraded and
bowled on that same green 2M years
ago. crowded ahout. applauding.
Polliemen rushed to see what was
happening. Thcv took a bruised and
beaten .ampsni Into the customs
house nearby. There, confronted
with arrest, be whined and finally
burst into tears.

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE I)
HIGH CRIME COST
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.
(U.PJ Inefficient snd wasteful
criminal justice machinery ex
ists in some communities, the
Wlckersham commission re
ported today In connection with
a striking table showing the
comparitive cost of combating
crime in .100 American cities.
The commission disclosed the
citizens of Jersey City, N. J,
fiay most per capita for crim
nal justice machinery. The cost
cited there wns $11.30 a year
for each citizen.
Other high per capita costs In
their order were revealed ss
follows:
Boston, S0.G4; Washington,
D. C. $921: Philadelphia.
S8.75: New York City, J7.76;
'Detroit, $7.29; St. Louis, Mo.,
$B!95: Chicago, $6.85; Atlanta,
Ga. S 56: Son Frnnciseo $6.25;
Los Angeles. $0.18; Portland,
Ore.. $4.16: Bellincham, Wnsh.,
$2.88: Everett, Wash.. $2.85;'
Seattle (1020) $4.47; Tacoma
(1929) $2.90.
nal justice machinery does not cost
too much.
A weeding out of laws eliminating
unnecessary social restrictions might
well be undertaken as a measure of
economy.
Although the word prohibition 1s
not directly mentioned in that con
nection, the commission incorporated
in its report the report of its leading
investigator, Sidney P. Simpson of
the New York bar, who said:
"A part of the money now required
to be expended In the administration
of criminnl justice is spent In the
enforcement of statutes applying to
conduct with which it is a matter of
debate whether the people and the
criminal courts are intrinsically fitted
to deal, and which must, in aome
cases, at least, be regarded as out
side the limits of effective legislation
by means of the criminal law.
Overhaul Our Codes

criminal codes -with a view to ap

statutes and comparing that advan

desirable from aa economic stand
point." "It is clear, we think, tbst the cost
of enforcing the criminal law would be
lees If It did not attempt to forbid and
punish acts psrticipated In by large
numbera of otherwise law abiding
citizens who do not regard such pro
hibited sets ss 'criminal' except in
a technical sense.
"However, the desirability of thus
reducing the burden imposed on the
taxpaying public by expenditures for
criminal justice will undoubtedly be
determined in the light of viewa as to
social considerations with which we
sre not concerned in this report."
The commission was concerned
over racketeering the process of ex
tortinr money by threats from legiti
mate and illegitimate business. It
found that racketeering now is prob
ably the most profitable form of
crime and "had come to pervade a
substantial part of the national eco
nomic life."
Labor Hooked to Rackets
Investigator Simpson reported the
commission that "the alliance be
tween racketeering and the activities
of certain labor unions is reputed to
be close."
"Comprehensive Investigstion Is
very difficult," Simpson continued,
"and would, indeed be highly dan
gerous to the Investigator. Neverthe
less such Investigation is a task which
urgently needs to be carried out.
"The relationship between racket
eering and ordinary business In cer
tain lines appears to bare become very
close In some cases,
"Another extremely disturbing
phase M the matter is the apparent
ly growing tendency toward amicable
relationships, cemented by bribery
and graft, between organized crime
and public agenciea charged with the
duty of law enforcement.
"The cost of administering criminal
justice is relatively small in compar
ison with other economic losses to in
dividuals and to the community re
sulting from crime.
"It Is easier to Identify the 3.70
per year chargeable to each inhabi
tant of Chicago on account of muni
cipal police expenditures, than it is
to ascertain each such person's share
of the amount annually extorted from
the public of Chicago by racketeera;
but the latter cost Is probably more
than the' 'former,"
Rimpson contended that the pnblic
paid for the rackets in Increased
price a.
The commission's own statement
was contained in eight of the 658
pagea in the report. It included a
unanimous opinion of the commission
that recommendations in the reports
of investigators should be carried out
Is Economlo Burden
"Crime imposes a tremendous eco
nomic burden on the community," the
commission said. "The economic dam
age which results is most serious. It
should not require the dramatic ef
fect of some lump-sum total figure
to emphasize the importance and ne
cessity, from a purely economic stand
point of dealing adequstely with the
problem."
The Investigators, Simpson and bis
partner. Goldthwaite H. Door of the
New York bar, figured the federal
cost of criminal justice quite accur
ately, they said.
Their tables showed the predomi
nance of prohibition in the federal
crime prevention picture of costs for
the fiscal year 1020-30:
Policy and marshals Cost. $35.
923.915: prohibition $25,644,069; per
