A plan of a possible "Business
League of Nations" was read yesterday
afternoon by Harrison C. Lewis, vice
presid ni o the sal ional Paper and
Type ' lunchi on of the
\ ?oeiation,

of Economit Opportunity" al the Hotel
( ommoclore.
Mr. Lewis explained that some time
?go he had drawn, with the approval
of many business men. a rough plan
"r "An Association of Nations for the
Purpose of Fostering International

It would be organized on economic
and extensive rather than on offensive
lines. It might in effect constitute an,
international congress, to which all na?

Equal Rights for All
The policy Of piratically taking ad?

' AH nations members of the associa?
tion should have equal commercial

made to help in the rational, logical
development of the natural r
of each country to it sadvantage and
to the acquiring by each country of the
products most economically produced

tageous terms. Artificial development,
financially or industrially, of many

an even greater potential danger to

welfare of each along natural lines.
Naturally, it would have to consider
uneconomic laws or restrictions involv?
ing unfair commercial advantages or
unfair discriminations against the nat?
ural products of other nations.
Germany, the great offender, would
have to seek admission by making good
in all the obligations imposed by the
peace terms finally arranged, or be
economically crushed to an extent that
would destroy her as an industrial
nation.
Tired of Political Failures
Discussing business men's attitude
toward all the present-day problems.
Mr. Lewis declared that "business is
more interested in peace prosperity
and development than any other class
on earth." He said Unit the world
had grown tired of the failures that, the
statesmen and politicians had made
in the past, and that, business would
lake a great part in the solution of
problems in the future.
?lohn Graham Brooks, author and
economist, warned the diners to watch
carefully the progress of labor.
tie said that labor all over the world
is going to try some government itself.
Professor Brooks said that in all
labor circles there is a "growing con?
servatism against all radical things."
Dr. E. E. Slosson, editor of tlv? "In?
dependent," said that the theory of free
trade has been proven worthless and
the cause of much difficulty, and that
"regulated trade" was the order of the
d; y.

The Origin of Coffee Drinking
The ordinary coffee plant is a native
of Abyssinia, and as such was used as
a beverage, both in the wild and cul?
tivated state, from time immemorial.
It was carried into Arabia about the
beginning of the Fifteenth Century.
From Arabia it was carried to all parts
of the Mohametan world by the Mecca
pilgrims, who found in it a happy sub?
stitute for the alcoholic beverages for?
bidden by the Koran. The first au?
thentic mention of it by a European
was by a German physician and travel?
ler, on his return from a tour through
Syria in 1573. It was brought to Ven?
ice by a physician in 1591. It was re?
ferred to in 1I?21 by Burton in his
"Anatomy of Melancholy," as follows:
"The Turks have a drink called coffee,
so named from a berry black as soot
and as bitter, which they sip hot be?
cause they find by experience that that
kind of drink, so used, helpeth diges?
tion and promoteth alacrity." The first
coffee house established in Londan was
m 1652. Coffee was heard of in France
in 1658, and became fashionable in
Paris in 1669.?Spokane Spokesman-Re

Cure of Defectives Urged
To Reduce Crime Waves
Punishment of Unfortunates Will Not Help City in
Ending Violations Against Laws and Society;
Woods Asks for Needed Reforms Here
Herewith is presented I he fift h of a seri?is of articles on polite
management and efficiency by former Police Commissioner Arthur
Woods. The fourth, ivas published in The Tribune yesterday. The sixth
article will appear in to-morrow's Tribune.
By Arthur Woods,
Former Police Commissioner of New
York City
Taking as a basis the results wc have
got with the psychopathic laboratory
at Police Headquarters we figure that
there arc on the average twenty-live
persons a day arrested in Xew York
who are mentally defective. Many of
these probably would never have com?
mitted crime except for this abnormal?
ity. The problem is what to do with
those unfortunate underdeveloped indi?
viduals who have fallen into crime. It
seems clear that wc should not rest
simply with punishing them; punish?
ment is of doubtful value, anyway, ex?
cept as it may persuade to better
things. Punishing a criminal of this.
type cannot lead to anything better.
It leads to nothing but the lile ot
crime. Its whole influence works toward
lessening whatever chance a person
may have of wrenching himself loose
from his bad habits and turning over
a new leaf. In jail the whole atmos?
phere, the associ.it ions, every <?ne with
whom he comes in contact, savors of
crime and criminality and of following
the wrong path. The weak mind oi
the defective is subjected to exactly
the wrong kind-of influence. He cant
help coming to regard crime as the
normal order of things. It is all he
hears about. Even if he had normal
mental powers and trained judgment
it would be something of a task to
withstand these vicious influences; one i
of his meagre development cannot do
much but yield.
Should Be Restrained
Although it is clear that the present
practice of committing the defective;
criminal to prison is wrong, it is.
equally clear that he should not be !
simply turned loose on the. public;
Plainly the proper course of action:
is to 'segregate him in some sort of
institution.
Instead of putting him in an ordinary;
jail, however, this institution should,
be rather of the hospital type, which ;
would receive such an inmate to keep i
until cured. He has shown that he is:
dangerous to the community; has
demonstrated it by performing a
criminal act. Examination has shown
that he is mentally subnormal, so that;
although wc can't, at all say that die
was not resnonsible for the crime he
committed, yet we must recognize the
fact that he is not to be classoel in,
the same category as a normal, deliber?
ate criminal. There is a good chance,
in other words, in the case of a defec?
tive, that if he could be mentally cured !
he would be rid of his criminal ,
tendency.
Radical Method Needed
Society has no wish to punish for the j
sake of "punishing. Its real object in
committing offenders to institutions is, I
although it does not always recognize ?
this, to put them where they can do no
harm, in the vague, optimistically irre?
sponsible hope that they may learn
better by the tirr.e they come out, and
in sublime indifference to the fact
that most of them, instead of learning
better, learn worse. Society's greatest
task with reference to criminals is to
protect itself. It should treat the
criminal in the way bes* calculated to I
protect itself. The "defectivo, therefore, ;
should be given a chance by being
placed in an institution where expert
effort Will be made to cure him and
return him to the life of the world
again with a normal mind in a normal
body. If expert treatment cannot ac-:
complish this the patient should be
leept in the institution for the rest of
his natural life, segregated so that he
cannot war on the law-abiding and
cannot beget defective children.
The crop of defectives is steadily in- !

creasing, since they are free to marry |
and bring forth children, and the in- !
dividual defective who pays the speci-?
lied penalty for his crime steadily
progresses in criminal proficiency. In- ?
stead of putting him under the care ;
of skilled and kindly doctors, he is
under the influence of shrewd, un- j
scrupulous criminals; yet if the doctors '
should have as good success in their j
efforts as the criminals have in theirs
it is fair to conclude, that our supply;
of criminal defectives would soon dis?
appear.
This is radical treatment, but we have j
tried the other kind of treatment long
enough to see that it won't work. From
other points of view besides the
criminal it is clear that the need is j
imperative for grappling with the qties
tion of the mental defective, and trying !
to free the community of him. And I
from the criminal point of view alone j
we should not need to have, so many j
policemen by a goodly percentage, even ;
if we went no further in the matter
than to ordain that such mental defec?
tives as are convicted of crime should
be immured until cured.

REISENWEBER'S
A now Revue will open at Reisen
weber's, Fifty-eighth Street and Co?
lumbus Circle, on February 18. The
field of artists has been scoured to
secure the most novel and capable
performers, so that the new produc?
tion will overshadow all attempts in
restaurant entertainment. Charac?
terized by an extraordinary cast of
pretty girls and principals.
The music is by Louis Silvers, the
staging by Earl Lindsay and lyrics
by "Bud" De Sylva. Miss Loretta
Rhodes, the fascinating prima don?
na, will support Midgie Miller, who
has been the subject of profuse
praise in her other appearances at
Reisenweber's. To supplement the
other numbers the Crane Sisters
will appear for the first time in New
York and will introduce fascinating
songs and dances, while the Norrie
Sisters will help to enliven the eve?
ning by futuristic presentations of
the light fantastic and melody. Ed?
die Myers, the juvenile, will further
add tu the attractiveness of the new
Revue, and Margaret Scverin, the
incomparable toe dancer, will again
win the hearts of the audience by
new characterizations of dancing.
.MARIE ANTOINETTE HOTEL
The residents of the upper West
Side are beginning to appreciate the
restaurant service at the Hotel
Marie Antoinette. Due to the do
mestic problem, many families are
dining regularly in its restaurant,
which has been put in charge of a
leading French chef. The new ser?
vice is excellent and moderate and
the surroundings are distinctly
agreeable.
An exceptional orchestra supplies
music for dancing in the Palm
Room every night except Sunday, on
which night there is an organ re?
cital. The grill room is open until
midnight.
HEALY'S GOLDEN GLADES
The 1919 Victory Revue at Thomas
Healy's Golden Glades possesses a
definite note of individuality, in the
fact that it is the only ice skating
show in New York. Flsie and Paul?
son, in the Apache dance on skates,
impersonate their characters in such
dazzling style as to send a thrill
through the largo audiences that wit?
ness this revue nightly. Other sensa?
tional skating exhibitions are offered
by Cathleen Pope, "Queen of the Ice";
.ludcls arid Peterson, "The Incom?
parables," and the famous Skating
Sextet. The entertainment is not
confined alone to skating. During
both sections of the show an im?
mense rug covers the ice and a
musical and dancing revue is pre?
sented, headed by such sterling per- j
formers as Helen Hardick, Bly
Brown, Yvonne Darle, Peggy Parme
lee, and others of merit also contrib?
ute their share to a production of
acknowledged excellence.
MARTINIQUE
The "Springtime Version" of Gus
Edwards' girlie revue "Attaboy" had
its premiere last Sunday night in
the Omar Khayyam Room of the
Hotel Martinique before an en?
thusiastic audience of more th^n
1,000 persons. The production,
which was lavishly staged and gor?
geously gowned, registered the big?
gest hit of any restaurant enter?
tainment in years, there being a
riot of aaplause from the opening
chorus to the anti-prohibition finale.
The most startling part of the
"Springtime Version" is the clever
anti-prohibition burlesque, in which
a chorus of beauties are depicted
as the various beverages that are
to be taboo after July 1, all of
which is set off by the humorous
slapstick antics of a bootlegging
prohibitionist, acted by Dan Hcaly.
The principal roles in this number
aro taken by Mercedes Loren-/..

Mr. Hcaly.

ney Miller's saloon, 116 Union Avenue,
where Gannon was bartender.
Persons passing the saloon heard the j
shot and saw Gannon's assailant dart
out the door. A crowd pursued him
through Lorimer Street. He boarded a
trolley car, but leaped off at Powers
Street and ran to the corner of Leon?
ard Street, where his pursuers, who by
this time included several policemen,
lost tight of him. A house-to-house
search\in the vicinity failed to reveal
the fugitive. He is described as about
live feet five inches tall, about thirty
years old and wearing a long overcoat
and soft brown hat.
Gannon was rushed to St. Cather?
ine's Hospital. He died a few hours
afterward without having regained con- !
scieusness. The police are not certain
whether Gannon's slayer was bent on
robbery and became frightened after
he had shot the bartender, or the
crime the result of a quarrel.
Cracksmen Also Busy
While holdup men and gunmen were
plying their trade in Brooklyn, cracks?
men and burglars had by no means
been idle. The biggest haul was made
in the office of R. Tyson White & Son,
,T20 Bridge Street, Brooklyn. Three
safes were ripped open and one of
them rifled of $200 in cash and $1,000
in Liberty bonds. The other two con?
tained nothing of value.
The police believe the same burglars
entered the clothing store of Ferdi?
nand McKee, of 1)2 Myrtle Street, just
around the: corner, where several hun?
dred dollars' worth of clothing was
stolen.
Sometime during the early morning
the home of Samuel Cohen, 2956 West
Thirty-fi'rdst Street, Brooklyn, was bro?
ken into and a small safe cracked. Lib?
erty bon.ls and jewelry worth $750 re?
warded the thieves. ,
In the meantime, Sheftall was being
grilled at Brooklyn Police Headquar?
ters in an effort to determine his true
role in the paymaster robbery was that
of victim or confederate. Confronted
with the picture of "Charles Tharles"
from the rogues' gallery, Sheftall
freely admitted it was his own, but
insisted that the fact that the forgery
charge against him ten years ago was
dropped be not overlooked.
His Kecord as an Aid
He threw out the suggestion that the
bandits who stopped the taxicab and
covered him and his two assistants with
guns may have known of his former
trouble and counted on his being ar?
rested, thus giving them time to cover
their own tracks.
Sheftall told Captain of Police
No Crime Wave, Says Enright
rPIIERE is no crime wave in Greater New York. Police Commis?
sioner Richard E. Enright is positive of that. He imparted the
information to 800 persons in Brooklyn Academy of Music Friday
night.
"Only a few hours later gunmen, highway robbers and cracks?
men pursued their tra?e undisturbed by Commissioner Enright's
policemen.
"There is of course in a population of 8,000.000 people," he
said, "a certain amount of crime. But the proportion of crime in
New York is the smallest in relation to its population of any city in
the world."
After thus casually revising the census figures, the Commis?
sioner stated that there would be less crime in New York during
1919 than there was in 1918. He did not divulge the methods of
arriving at this conclusion.
"Even murder eases are not indicative of a crime wave," En?
right resumed. "At least one of the recent homicides was the work
of a degenerate and the. others were regular police cases." (He
did not impart to his hearers whether this fact had anything to do
with so many "recent homicides" remaining unsolved.) "Why, the
rural communities of Suffolk and Nassau Counties can give the
metropolis cards and spades when it comes to crime."
Brooklyn Institute Forum rules require speakers to remain
after addresses to answer questions. A few of those who heard
Enright had questions to put to him, but he pleaded "another en?
gagement" and left in a hurry.
Coughlan that he had "knocked about"
pretty much all over the world. He i
served a throe-year enlistment in the ?
5th Onited States Cavalry some years:
ago. He is thirty-four years old.
Captain Coughlan said Sheftall re
fusel to make known his whereabouts',
during the time between leaving his
assistants on the way.to tiie subtreas
ury and his reappearance there for the
payroll money. The taxicab Sheftall
hire! to take him from the subtreasury i
to Todd's shipyards was stolen
Wednesday from Broadway and Thir?
ty-first Street, it has been learned.
Sheftall's wife was in court when he :
was arraigned. So was charles M,
Dietz( assistant auditor oV the Emer?
gency Fleet Corporation. Dietz said
he was not convinced that Sheftall had !
helped in the robbery. He added the
paymaster had come well recom- ;
mended.
Murder in Manhattan
The latest, murder to nuzzle the
polite is that Frank Curtis, of 709 Fast
Eleventh Street. He was shot in the
back of the head early yesterday
while walking on Second Street near
Avenue A.
A.mhPU.3 otthimself. -eaebDhoutlc Dc
Policeman Casetti found Curtis on
tin? sidewalk. He asked Curtis, while
wailing4 for an ambulance, who shot
him.
"Nobody," said the wounded man.
"Do you know you are likely to die?"
asked the policeman.
"What, is that to you?" Curtis re?
sponded, and that is all that could be
gotten from him. He died in Belle
vue Hospital an hour later.
The police learned, they say. that
Cu-tis quarrelled with two men in an
Hast Side dance hall the night before,
and they believe one of them followed
him out and shot him.
The Old Slip police station was no?
tified yesterday morning that the cigar
store of J. W. Surburg at 156 Broad?
way, had been entered during the
night and $35 taken from the cash
register.
While the loot was small, the crime
is a source of worry because it is the
first robbery in a long time to be per?
petrated below Fulton Street. In the
minds of some it presages an invasion
of the financial district by burglars
and cracksmen.
Ousting Ground Squirrels.
By combating ground squirrels Idaho
farmers saved over $1,250,000 in crops
during 1918. Twenty-two counties and
4,025 farmers cooperated in stamping
out the squirrel pest, and as a result
277,751 acres were cleared of the
rodents.
It is estimated that this ground
squirrel eradication work in Idaho saved
5 per cent of the total crops of that
state which formerly went to pay the
yearly rodent tribute. As one farmer
phrases it, "I used to consider that the
squirrels had a mortgage on 25 per cent
of my crops, as they devoured one

It tikes many, a great many different
habits to form up our life." and upon
the coordination of those habits will
depetid in great part our success or
failure.
But first of all in the study of

the bad. Then . as rapidlv 8"
possible those that are harmful ' re
membering that the older a habit is the
harder it is to uproot. Bismark Trib?
