Kavanagh Speaks on United States Crime Conditions
'NEED HOME TRAINING
Existence of Lawlessness Blamed on Public
and Law
That the law and the public are to blame for the prevalence of crime in the United States, was the thesis of Professor Kavanaugh, who is in the University auditorium last night. Judge Kavanhan, who was introduced by vice-president Burdice, made a judge of the district court of Chicago, but also a judge of the superior court of Chicago for thirty years, with jurisdiction over both civil and criminal cases.
"We cannot blame this condition on either poverty, drunkenness, ignorance nor lack of a stable government," he said. The law is the first to blame."
The judge declared that we have 10,000 homicides in this country a year and that we are the most lawless and law-ridden country in the world."
Judge Kavanagh then went on to describe a typical murder case and the way in which the slayer uses the lawyer to go free. The case is delivered, close and final. His maire relatives of the defendant appear dressed in black and even the defending lawyer managers to break down and weep in the courtroom to muddle the situation.
Slayers Make Use of Law
"England 100 years ago was in the grip of a crime wave even worse than ours," he on to say. "Death was the penalty for a multitude of offenses and judges and jurors united to defeat it." The case was remedied. The situation was remedied only when penalties were lowered and when justice was made swift and certain.
The public opinion necessary to put through these measures was aroused by Dickens's novel, Blakhee.
"Half of the prisons in England have impaired in the last 12 years; ours, on the contrary, have never been so full and much difficult in getting convictions.
Pickpockets are Organized
"For example, pickpockets in America are organized. They have hired lawyers and bondmen, and when one of them bumps into the one who works with him calls up the lawyer and the bondsmen so that by the time the first man arrives he will have to fight for him. On one occasion I had presented in my court a habeas corpus petition which had evidently been prepared even before the crime had been committed."
"Exploration of the Grand Canyon"
was the subject of a lecture given at
8 o'clock a morning to the fresh-
water lily bed at Marvin hall by Raymond C. Moore.
The lecture was accompanied by motion
pictures and slides of the Grand Can-
"The judge must administer the law as he finds it," the judge continued. "The judge is responsible for the citizens through their legislature. The supreme court of Kansas is one of the advanced courts in the state." If your courts have, it is up to the people of Kansas to remedy through their legislature. In Minnesota where many people are meeting out of justice to offenders, cases are tried and criminals start serving sentences at once. As a result thieves cannot be persuaded to stop off there.
Police Force Lacks Power
"Juries are too sentimental and the juries may let to lie men or to give them more leeway." Juries must realize that just so much as they neglect to do their duty in the courtroom in one murder case, just because they are partiers in the next murder."
"Other reasons for the crime crisis," the judge added, "are the facts that we lack respect for and appreciation of our officers who fail to efficiently organized and free from politics. A policeman should be able to arrest the governor or maybe of the city."
Weslev Foundation to Give Dinner
Lack of interest in the church was the last explanation of the crime situation. The churches are filled, the prisoners are emptied, and vice versa. Children need access to the church and respect for authority and the rights of other people. The home is the foundation of it all. I have never yet seen a child who grew into a respected citizen."
Moore Speaks to Engineers
The ticket committee, for the Wesley Foundation Christmas banquet and enlistment committee, is charged to report the result of the ticket sale thus far. A number of tickets have already been sold for the banquet which will be held at the Methodist church. The ticket sale will end Wednesday although tickets may be secured after this time from the police.

ONCE SEATTLE MAYOR

In addition to her participation in civic affairs, she has always been interested in child welfare, improvement of home conditions, and women's empowerment. She is the founder of the Women's City club.
With regard to education Mrs. Landez says "I think people who have had the advantage of a good education should take the leadership in public alliances be held by adults, and set a good example for others. A democratic form of government such as we have permits them to secure an education, and, since our kind of government is largely responsible for the education of children, it is need to make a return in service."

OFFICIALS MUST SUBMIT ANSWER BEFORE DEC. 29
Justice Johnston Grants Alternative Writ to Petitioners Which Include 53 Organizations
WO ISSUES INVOLVED
Commissioner May Be Appointed to Hear Evidence on Question of Fact; Statute Legality Also Involved
A mandamus suit was filed in the state supreme court this morning by the Stones, McClure, Webb and Johnson law firm of A. W. Jenkins, a Hellenic societies at the University, to stop the collection of the fraternity house tax which amounts to $17,395.23. Justice W. A. Johnston, of the court, is seeking an alternative writ of mandamus.
In accordance with the writ issued this morning by Justice Johnston, the defendants can either take the organized houses off the tax roll, or must by Dec. 29 file an answer to the writ in writing and submit a complaint done. The suit was entered in the name of the Alpha Tau Omega and 52 other organized houses at K. U. and Baker University, as the plaintiffs in the case, against the state tax commission, the county commission and the Douglas county treasurer, defendants.
The petition disputes the right of the defendants to collect taxes from the plaintiff on both constitutional and legal grounds. The judicial provision permitting exemption of literary societies, benevolent and religious organizations, and also tax-exempt dormitories in addition, are exempt from property taxation. The attorneys called attention to the decision in the case, which found that whichFraternity have been tax free.
The question will be disputed on both issues of law and fact. Gerrill reported that he wanted to bepected to gather material on the fact status of the organized houses, interviewing each community to find out whether an exempt clause that is found both in the state constitution and a statutory law properly used for educational purposes.
If this issue is raised in the answer, a commissioner may be appointed by the governor to each individual case to decide whether or not the fraternity should be compulsory for compulsory school taxes. Its findings will be turned over to the supreme court for review.
Both Law and Fact Involved
Another question arises, that of the legality of the legislative act which excludes certain public organizations organized houses have been referred to as dorsitomytes. Dorsitomytes, according to the legislative act, are not permitted in a word "doritomytes" is not included in the state constitution, and on this ground the legality of the law may be

May Distinguish Purposes
It may be contended that the professional fraternities would fall under the tax exempt clause more so than would the social fraternities, because they are not required to education. Social fraternities, on the other hand, might be argued as insti-
