CARROLLTON CHRONICLE
Is Most Spectacular
of Federal Agencies
Bureau of investigation Is
Least Advertised.
Washington.—One of the least nd-
♦ertised and yet most spectacular of all
federal agencies Is the bureau of In-
vestigation of the United States De-
partment of Justice. To most casual
citizens the bureau Is Just a name, if
V is known at all. The credit for fa-
ous cases in which the clinching
idence against an international thief,
defaulting banker, or a confidence
an on the high seas was furnished
v an agent from the bureau is gen-
erally given the police.
The bureau agents, credited ns be-
ing the ace detectives In the United
States and American possessions,
avoid the limelight. Although every
agent Is trained in law and'account-
ing their work is highly s^retive. Pub-
licity is avoided ns in contrast to the
courting of publicity by most investi-
gating bodies.
Some of tlie most dramatic crimes,
made famous in play and story, come
under the jurisdiction of this body.
Their field includes crimes on the high
seas, treason, violation of the national
banking and bankruptcy laws, thefts
from interstate shipments, bribery,
crimes on Indian reservations, escaped
federal prisoners, civil rights, and
domestic violence, and all others not
assigned to a specific agency.
In two fields, especially, the Depart-
ment of Justice agency is the protec-
tor of civil rights and liberties. As a
to-ordinating policy agency the bu-
leau aids in the capture and convic-
llon of thousands of state and national
laws. At Washington the most com-
plete fingerprint bureau in the world
is maintained for the aid of all police
agencies.
Not only are the prints of federal
violators maintained but the prints of
any fugitive wanted by any police de-
partment for any crime from leaving
the scene of an accident to robbery
with a gun are kept. A free “posting”
system, by which any police chief can
have the fingerprints of a fugitive
placed on file is maintained. The
prints of every arrested man is
checked each time against the files
and co-operation given the correspond-
ing police chief.
The arrest and conviction of Gene
Elms for murder is a case illustrative
of this work. On February 7, 1031, the
bureau received from the police de-
partment at Tulsa, Okla., the finger-
prints of Gene Elms with n notation
that he was wanted for the murder
of a police officer. Checking the files
it was ascertained that two days pre-
viously a fingerprint card was received
from St. Paul, Minn., stating that one
Raymond Parker had been arrested
for investigation. The two prints were
identical and Elms was tried on the
murder charge in Oklahoma and sen-
tenced to life imprisonment. Another
murder suspect was arrested through
the same system as a result of leav-
ing the scene of an automobile acci-
dent.
The other field in which the biirean
conies most in contact with business
and civic leaders is in the investiga-
tion of all bankruptcy frauds. Prac-
tically the only protection legitimate
business has against the confidence
man and swindler who avails himself
of the loopholes In the bankruptcy
laws, the bureau Investigators are con-
stantly busy checking the schedules
of bankrupt petitioners. Thousands of
dollars in hidden assets have been re-
turned through tlds agency.
All violations of the national bank-
ing act come under the jurisdiction
of the bureau. One of the most noted
Chicago cases of recent years was the
arrest and conviction of John E. Mal-
loy, assistant cashier of the Lawrence
Avenue National bank. Malloy misap-
gltlve Is never given up by the De-
partment of Justice investigators. One
of the longest successful searches
ended in the arrest nnd conviction of
Grover S. Elam, a hank embezzler
from the First National bank of High-
land, Wis.
The hank failed In 1031 nnd an in-
vestigation by the bureau showed $50,-
000 unaccounted for. Elam was in-
dicted, but because lie was suffering
from a bad gasoline burn a warrant
was not served pending his recovery.
In the meantime he disappeared. Spe-
cial agents of the bureau of Investi-
gation instituted a search for him and
a few weeks ago he was located in
Chicago under the name of Albert S.
Nagel and Is being returned to Wis-
consin for trial.
The bureau has been In existence
for 24 years and comprises 22 filed
offices located throughout the United
States and Its possessions. In each
office there Is stationed a staff of
trained Investigators under the super-
vision of an Investigator in chief. The
national director of the bureau Is J.
Edgar Hoover, with the Chicago office
being In charge of W. A. McSwain.
King of the Future and His Sister
--------^
This attractive little brother and sister are grandchildren of the king and
queen of the Belgians, and the little boy may some day succeed to the crown
since he is the only son of the present heir to the throne, Prince Leopold,
duke of Brabant. The photograph was made by special permission of the
children’s mother, the duchess of Brabant who, before her marriage, was
Princess Astrid of Sweden. The boy is Prince Baudouin, who was two years
old on September 7, 1932, and his sister is Princess Josephine Charlotte, who is
five years old.
propriated funds nnd showed up in
Milwaukee, claiming to have been the
victim of a holdup in the bank.
Through the reconstruction of practi-
cally the entire ledger system of the
hank his story was .proven false and
Malloy was sentenced four years in
prison and fined $3,000 on a charge of
making false entries and embezzling
$59,900.
Investigation .and search for the fu-
French African Mission
Acts to Save Wild Game
Elephants and Rhinoceroses
Being Killed Off.
Paris.—A French government mis-
sion sent into Africa to study the na-
tive fauna reported that unless drastic
measures are enacted Immediately, ele-
phants, horned rhinoceroses, giraffes
•and dwarf hippopotamuses will be
killed off in the French colonies with-
in a few years.
The mission recommends a Franeo-
British-Belgian treaty forbidding the
export of rhinoceros horns—particu-
larly sought by Chinese for their al-
leged medicinal value—and severe
laws to curb the shooting of animals
by native and white game hunters.
“The worst enemies of the native
fauna of Africa are the natives who
kill them for their meat, hide and
tusks, and tlie sportsmen of Europe
and America, who organize great expe-
ditions for the sole purpose of ac-
quiring hunting trophies for the deco-
ration of their smoking rooms,” the
report says.
The report points out that Belgian
Congo soon will be without elephants
except those kept in national parks.
Each battalion of natives working on
government building projects is al-
lowed to kill one elephant per week
for food. The great herds of the Congo
will be thinned readily if each of the
score of battalions is allowed 52 ele-
phants a year.
The mission suggests that smoked
or frozen meats be substituted for the
fresh meat, for, too often, only n little
of it can bo eaten before the remain-
der spoils from the heat. Of 100 ele-
phants killed in the Congo, 98 are
killed by natives—particularly for the
ivory.
The inquirers returned convinced
that the advance of civilization will
drive out the animals, for they will be
deprived of the space and water they
need. They urge that there be no limit
placed on the number of lions and
panthers killed, but suggest that the
French administration draw up an ani-
mal limit for native and white hunt-
ers on other animals.
Martins Make Home
in Traveling Crane
Longview, Wash.—For three suc-
cessive years two martins have
made their nest and raised their
families of young birds in a closet
on a hammer crane on the Long-
Bell Lumber company dock, totally
disregarding the fact that the crane
travels up and down the dock a dis-
tance of a half mile a day. The
mother and father birds show no
annoyance when workmen enter the
closet—more than 50 times daily—
and fondle the young fledglings.
The martins as believed to lie a
species known as “coffee birds,”
native of Brazil.
U. S. Finds Stone Walls
Do Not a Prison Make
Washington.—The federal govern-
erninent is becoming more inclined
every day to trust prisoners and place
them in unwalled camps instead of
prisons.
The prison division of the Depart-
ment of Justice reports that In the
two and a half years since the estab-
lishment of the unwalled camps 0,078
persons have been confined in them.
Although the guards are unarmed,
there have been only 101 escapes from
such camps. Of those 131 were re
captured.
Finds Ring Lost in 1886
Oneida, Kan.—Mrs. Emery Conwell
lost u ring in the tornado of May 17,
1880. In clearing away the debris
caused by a recent storm, her husband
found the gold band buried In the
barnyard.

Philadelphia Home Owners
Have Distinction.
- Philadelphia’s reputation as a city
of homes depends largely upon
those many miles of streets which
are lined with little houses of brick
and frame. Possibly the title Is a
little in doubt nowadays, since so
many apartment houses have sprung
up wherever there is space for
them, both in the downtown district
and around the parks and the city’s
circumference.
But among the thousands of little
dwellings are many that can claim
an unusual distinction. Built of
brick made from local clay, they
have in their walls a calculable
quantity of precious metal. The
proud home-owner, if he lives in the
right sort of house, may point with
pride and remark to the envious vis-
itor: “Thar’s gold in them parti-
tions.” And though he can’t spend
it, he has it and owns it, hoarded be-
yond reach in the burnt blue clay
which was laid down here 100,000
years ago by a benevolent glacier.
It has been calculated that some
Philadelphia-made bricks contain
enough gold to cover their surface,
if It could all be extracted and beat-
en to the incredible thinness of gold
leaf. But such gold bricks would
not be worth much. By calculation
of experts at the Academy of Nat-
ural Sciences, who are offering an
exhibit of Philadelphia’s mineral re-
sources in a Ghestnut street win-
dow, a typical ton of the gold-bear-
Women said:
iiig blue clay contains about 70
cents’ worth of the precious metal.
And it would cost much more than
that to get it out.
llome-owning Philadelphians have
no need to envy, however, the oper-
atic character who dreamt that he
dwelt in marble halls. Marble halls
might prove less comfortable than a
little house of Philadelphia brick,
and it sounds well to say to visitors
that the typical Philadelphian pro-
tects his lares and penates behind
walls of gold. The gold may not be
immediately apparent, like other at-
tractions of Philadeffffiia, but it is
there.—Philadelphia Ledger.
Medical Sheep Shears
Somehow or other modern Russia
manages to be different and to do
things differently. She even does so
when it comes to shearing sheep.
What they really do is to pluck the
wool right off the poor creatures.
However, they dope the animals first
with a medicine which makes them
shed their wool. To prepare the
sheep for the plucking a small dose
of a preparation of heavy mineral
salts is given them. This is said to
act on the synthetic nerve system
and in two or three days the wool is
loose enough to pick off.
Then Harvey Swooned
Fiance—I’ll be a great help to your
father in his business. I’d better
brush up.
Fiancee—You’ll get enough brush-
ing up, Harvey. He’s going to make
a porter of you.—Brooklyn Eagle.
The swine don’t care if others do
think pearls are valuable. Nothing
can fease the swine.
