PASSAGE OF TA

BILL
C$tS2"6nt lunB " ayau. inc.
James W. Gerard, formerly
uilmssador to Germany, orfriui-
izeil H luncheon yesterday for
Commissioner Mulrobticy, 1he
newly appointed head' of New
York's police. Everybody was
there, including Otto II. Kahn.
He says grand opera by ratlio
is coming, but it will not inter
fere with the Metropolitan op
cr, always needed to create
great reputations.
Also, according to Mr. Kahn,
who studies this earth and its
iloiugs "from Paris to Peking,
and from Peking to Rome,"
there is nothing to worry us.
When the British have tem
porary hard times they sit still,
pftjt a little golf, don't do
much.
In America we can't sit still;
we have to do something. When
stocks refuse to go up we sell
them and force theni to go
down.
After a dull period it will
oeciir to -Americans that they
have the United States 'haek of
them and they will recover
their balance. . '
Commissioner Mulrooncy, a
real policeman, discourses iu
tcrestiiifrly on crime.-. He say:
" In a murder case yqu must
have one of two things, an eye
witness or .a confession.'
, "With gansters well orgnniz
m, witnesses arc afraid' to tes
tify. The killers do not con
fess." '' '- .. . .
The modern killer runs little
risk. For $.101) he hires a hoy
lli or 17 years old; the hoy
does the shooting, not even
knowing the name of the man
"put on the spot" or why lit
is killed.
Racketeers, .according to
Commissioner M ulroon e y,
would vanish, if citterns would
do their part. As a rule they
prefer being blackmailed to de
fending themselves.
Racketeers and gangsters are
miserable cowards, except
"when ganged up anil armed.
A real man could take n chair
4 beat up half u dozen of
Mem." .
young criminals should be
wwgatod, not confined with
Wcr criminals, who teach them
all they know.
