Prison Uplift Bunk
lypicai or tne bunk being peddled about crime and
criminals by the uphfters, is the following from the Salem
btalcsman :
But there are very few "professional" criminals: and there is no
siicn mine as a "criminal class, " which writers and speakers often
mention. . The "professional" criminal gets that wav
through had environment.' He might have been a good citizen If ho
nau enjoyeu a good environment. There are no born
iriniiiiais, excepting those born wlih weak mentality and easily
Miuuuii;u tjieir snrroiiiiuings anu companions.
It is this sort of twaddle, of considering the criminal as
the helpless victim of society, sinned against, rather than
sinning, that keeps our prisons full to overflowing, by
stimulating crime.
Environment plays its part in the development of the
criminal, but heredity plays an even greater part, and no
environment can overcome heredity, the result of countless
generations of environment. As the sins of the father are
visited upon the children so aro his limitations. Atavism
cannot be overcome by environment, and criminal traits
are often of atavistic nature.
Criminals aro classified by criminologists as of five kinds.
They are :
1. The criminal by passion, who under ihc stimulus of insult or
injustice is prompted to an act of violence.
2. Tile insane criminal, who commits his offense under tl,r. in.
fliiencc of mental alienation.
3. Tho Instinctive or congenital criminal, a group that merges
Into the Insane criminal, but Is distinguished by the absence of
delusion or definite form of insanity, tliollrfh frequently th-ro is some
degree oi mel.tal weakness.
i llio occasional criminal, more normally constituted, whose
cinei ciiiiracierisnc is weakness of character.
li. The habitual or professional criminal, a more fully developed
offender, who on the basis of his original weakness or Inaptiluilo for
cuviui niu hub ueveiopeu a certain skill in crime.
Ill any group of criminals, the most common physical
umioueii.nu: is me tendency towards abnormalities, such
as peculiar shaped cranium., prominent lower jaws, irregular
eais ana teelii and muscular irregularities. On the psychic
side, there is absence of moral sensibilities. Callous to the
sufferings of others, there is often an exaggerated senti
mentality. In intelligence they combine instinctive cunning
una nypocricy willi imprudence and lack of fore-thought.
Recent mental tests show however that prison populations
average well in mentality.
The greatest stimulont of crime, is the conversion of
prisons into reformatories, tho substitution of treatment for
punishment. In England, where tho justice is speedy and a
prison exists for punishing instead of coddling criminals,
there is not oncTtenlh the crime we have in the United
States and the Wore we coddle the crooks, the more wo have
of (hem.
tihe had her own opinion on that
subject.
"ilow'd you like some golf this
afternoon?" she asked. "We could
all run down to the club for lunch
eon, and then you and Andy could
play eighteen holes, and we'd go
flwlmmlng afterwards. It's sUll
warm enough for that."
"Great! But why wouldn't you
play golf too?"
"Oh, I'll stay on the club ver
anda with Mrs. Hewitt; that will
be plcasanler for her than Just sit
ting alone."
"Hut my wlfo won't mind," he
assured her eagerly, stepping for
ward to catch both her hands In
his, like a delighted boy. "It'll ho
great we'll have a wonderful
time."
"I'm sorry to Interrupt, Greg'
ory, but your wife most certainly
will mind!" It was an acid voice
that interrupted them. Turning
guiltily, Patricia and Hewitt saw
Marcia Hewitt standing In tho door
way. "That Is, if it's something
that will delay breakfast that I'm
auimosed not to object to," she
added, a trifle more graciously.
"Oh, breakftwt Is Just about
ready; wo wero only waiting for
tho hash." Patrlclaeexclalmed, and
slipped down off the table to hur
ry to the refrigerator for fruit,
Hewitt faced his wife for a mo
ment without speaking, then turn
ing away to the stove.
"If you'll Just help me Into the
dining-room, Gregory " Her voice
was not sharp now, but feeble, al
most whining. Obediently he took
her arm and escorted her to her
place at the table; as she seated
hernelf he looked over her head at
Patricia, but she had eyes only for
tho plates of Iced melon that she
was carrying.
Andrew, who had Just entered
tho dining-room, caught the glanco
however, and turned startled and
speculative eyes on his wlfo.

BATTLE TO OFFICER

depot when he beard someone com
ing south on Liberty street. Jie
turned and saw a man wearing an
overcoat cross Kearney street fol
lowed by two others. They stop
ped near the depot for a few sec
onds to watch one of the dairy
truck drivers who waa preparing
to leave.
Suspicious of their intentions
Wuitei-Hteen called to them to
stop. Intead they started to run
and the officer opened lire when
ho heurd their flteel tools full to
tile BiuewaiK. The men returned
the fire, shooting five or six shots
from what Wintersteen believed to
bo vtUZ aeillter revolver. The men
were sheltered by the dark and all
that could be t-een was the flash o
their guns. Ther neaded south in
their flight.
Winterstcen ran to the dairy
depot and called police headquar
ters for hclp atJking the truck
driver to reload his gun while he
made the call. When he again
went outside he saw one of the
men cross Commercial street and
fired at him.
.Officers Edwards, Victor, Olson
and James answered the call but
found no trace of the three men
other than the flb;maoned tools.
A large safe is housed in the
ilairy depot where only the dully
caJh reecipte are kept, company
officials declared this morning
About $75 in cash was In the safe
last night.
The tools which the burglars
carried had been stolen from the
Fisher home only a short time be
fore their attempt to enter the
dairy. The handle of the sledge
had been sawed off to a length of
about 18 Inches. The end piece
tiioy left in the tool house. i
A Chevrolet car was tolen some
time last night from the garage of
W. J. Lee of 1145 South Thir
teenth street and It Is held pos
sible that the turglars might have
taken It to make good their esc a pa.
The fact that the men carried
guns end were villlng to exchange
gun fire Indicates that they were
thoroughly prepared for their
work and were intending to do a
professional jot of it.
Thre homes were entered Satur
day night here and loot valued at
around $150 was taken. It Includ
ed chiefly $30 In cash and articles
of clothing. Two cars have been
stolen here during the same
period.
CARSON FLEES
TO CALIFORNIA
FOR SAFETY
(Continued inim Page One.)
Kclley and James Willos on
charges of first degree murder,
will be made, according to the dis
trict attorney's office. Informed
that Carson was seen heading for
California, at Aahland last night,
Deputy District Attorney Page said
Is Not Needed
"Let him go. We have no need
for him."
Carson, who claimed to officers
and penitentiary officials that he
had turned Murray In after tracing
and accompanying him to Central-
la, has made no formal claim for
any of ihe reward money for
either Murray, Kelley or Willos, all
of whom wero captured on infor
mation gained through him.
Following the capture of Murray
at Centralla early Saturday morn
ing Carson rushed right on to Sa
lem, arriving at the penitentiary
shortly after 10 o'clock in the
morning. Ho almost immediately
applied to Wardon A. M. Dalrym-
ple for payment of the standing
reward of $50 for the capture of
any escaped convict, and for the
the three fugitives. He was told
to file a written claim with the war
den for the $50, and was inform
ed that the $1000 could not be
paid until the legislature had pass
ed upon the governor's recom
mendation that such an approprla
tlon be made.
No Claims Filed
Carson returned to the prison In
the afternoon to file his claim,
but was met with the counter
claims of Centralla police officers,
who declared that Carson had only
informed on Murray when ho him
self was threatened with arrest as
a. susniclous character. Carson, the
Centralla officers declared, had
six months suspended sentence
hanging over him In Portland, and
when accosted by an officer as he
emerged from the hotel In which
he and Murray had taken a room,
informed on Murray to keep him
self out of trouble that might mean
his return to Portland to serve out
the suspended sentence.
Warden Dalrymplc told Carson
mid the Centralia officers to set
tlo the matter of division of the
S50 reward 'between themselves,
but up to this noon no claims for
any of the reward money had been
filed either with the warden or at
the governor's office.
Warden -Dalrymple accounts for
Carson's flight to California thru
a statement that Carson made to
officers at the prison Saturday
afternoon. In which he said that he
had heen "tinned off" that it
would not "be safe for him to be
seen around Portland."
French Reply to Germany
Berlin, Aug. 24. (A. P.)
French Ambassador DeMargerie
handed to the German govern
ment the French answer on the
proposed security pact at 5
o'clock this afternoon.

jewels have been fouuu in the
$1000 special reward for each of house of the czar's tailor.
WILLOS SIGNED
CONFESSION OF
SHOOTING GUARD
(Continued from Page One)
sumably referring to Sweeney, al
though his name iu not mentioned
and Murray goes on to say he
handed Willos a .38 calibre re
volver.
The signed statement then goes
on to say:
"Willos was right behind
Willos nor Kelly had not fired n
shot up to this time. Just as I
went up tho first two steps on the
to wer stair G u a rd Hoi man , w ho
was concealed behind an iron
fence, shot mo (Murray) througn
the left arm. j'ust as he shot me
Willos shot him with his pistol.
Kelly didn't have any gun until
he got inside the tower."
Burkhart states that Newman
and his son told him that when
the Newman boy and Leo Wilde
returned from their forced trip
from Portland with the convicts,
that the night of their return thoy
found a rifle under the blankets
of the car and the next morning
another rifle was found in the rear
of the car leaning against the seat.
These rifles were the only on-?
taken from the prison arsenal an:'
havo been returned to the peni
tentiary. Officials str.te this gives
the lie to the stnry told by the
convicts that they threw the rifles
taken from the prison into the
Columbia Slough after leaving
Kenton.
Deputy 'Sheriff Durkhart served
subpoenas only on Newman and,
Leo Wilde. Wildo was one of the
quartet kidnaped at Monitor by
he fleeing convicts: Newman told
Burkhart that his son, who drove
the convicts into Portland, will
drive Newman to Salem tomorrow
and will ha here if wanted with
out a subpoena.

The New Klan Doctrine
Now thut "100 percent Americanism" and other gel-thc-coin
slogans have petered out, Hie Ku Klux Klan has adopted
tle issue of "Fundamentalism" as a new doctrine and will
watte die campaign against evolution started by the late
W. J. Bryan. Such an issue is entirely in keeping with the
Klan'.s efforts to stir up religions fanaticism and will prob
ably serve to harvest another crop of ?I0 bills from the
boohs. But even that will not keep the pot boiling long
the fires are dying out. The Klan has lost its novelty and
is becoming respectable and uninteresting like other
fraternal orders.
However fundamentalism is not receiving the approval
expected from churchmen, who generally arc taking the view
that religion does not disagree with science searching,
diligently for truth. A typical view is that of President
Frederick Carl Eiselen, president of the Garrett Theological
Seminary, America's largest Methodist divinity school, who
comments as follows:
Modern ri'llglon dls;iRrei's wit h tho "nld-llmc religion" in Hint It
