Militant Public
Held Essential to
Reduce Crime
Judge Curran Speaks
To Federation of
Business Men
The crime problem will remain
acute until there is a persistent and
militant demand by the public for
better administration of criminal
justice. Judge Edward M. Curran
of the Police Court told the Fed
eration of Business Men's Associa
tion last night at the organiza
tion’s monthly dinner-meeting at the
Hamilton Hotel.
“It is only a dream of the vision
aries that some day an aroused
public opinion will eliminate or
ganized crime," Judge Curran said.
“Organized crime will never be elim
inated, but it may be minimized
and controlled whenever public sen
timent is sufficiently aroused, stays
aroused and is wisely directed,” he
caid.
The permanent solution does not
lie in force and punishment, but |
with the family, the school, the I
church and the community, Judge
Curran said, adding that it is essen
tial for parents to rear their chil
dren in paths of obedience and re
spect for authority.
After citing the school as an im
portant factor in training of chil
dren, Judge Curran said failure of
parents and children to attend
church and Sunday school is threat
ening the church’s “influential place
it held in days agone as a most ef
fective force in crime prevention.”
In its attempt to eliminate slums,
the Roosevelt administration is wag-!
ing war against the breeding place
of crime, he said.
“In this war on crime we stand j
as men in the ranks of humanity j
who are under the law of duty that j
allows us no stopping place short of!
our utmost capabilities. Whatever
in human nature is hopeful, gener- i
ous. aspiring—the love of God and
trust in man—is arrayed on one
side and on that side let us stand,” i
Judge Curran concluded.

Plans for Pistol Range
Are Blocked by Seal
Plans of a group of Georgetown
business men to establish a pistol
range on a lot adjoining the sev
enth precinct station. 3218 Volta
place N.W.. to be used jointly with
members of that precinct were
blocked yesterday by a ruling by
Corporation Counsel Elwood H.
Seal.
He held that the Commissioners
were without authority to permit
the use of District property for the
requested purpose or to enter into
a lease or contract with the pistol
club. He advised the Commission
ers, therefore, they could not accede
to the request unless and until Con
gress had specifically granted them
authority. At a board meeting to
day the Commissioners upheld Mr.
Seal's decision.
Maj Ernest W. Brown is said to
have been sympathetic to the plan
for the pistol club but raised ques
tions about the authority of the
Commissioners to approve the idea.
The application was filed for the
Georgetown group by John Paul
Jones.

white men suspected in the theft
of two suitcases valued at $100 each

The baggage, belonging to Logan

railroad passes and files as well as
clothing.
Police also notified stamp agencies
to be on the lookout for $475 worth
of the new $5 Calvin Coolidge stamps
that went on sale yesterday at the
Old Post Office Building. The
stamps were purchased by Louis S.
Gross of 2807 Connecticut avenue.
The clerk laid them on the counter
and Mr. Gross turned to reach in
his pocket for money. When he
turned back they were gone. The
95 stamps were in a cellophane en
velope.
