An 'organization'" will be formed, headquarters will be opened and propaganda will be disseminated to bolish what was described as a relic of barbarism by a speaker yesterday at the division of delinquency and correction of the National Conference of Social Work which 3600 delegates have attended during the week at Convention Hall. During the discussion Judge Harry S. McDovitt, of Common Pleas Court No.

1, was bitterly scored by Dr. Albert H. Fraser, executive secretary of the Pennsylvania Prison Board, for his handling of the case of Willie Brown, found guilty of the murder of 10-year-old Dorothy Lutz. "The boy was guilty of the crime," said Dr. Fraser, "but even though that Is admitted he was entitled to a fair trial.

As a matter of fact, he did not have what is popularly known as a Chinaman's chance. The s'Y i T.i 4r if Indictment by the Feriorul Grand Jury of SO men Involved in the rum ring which operated via radio, fust boats, fleets of trucks and sumptuous centrally located oHices was revealed yesterday, when 21 of the men named In the Indictment submitted writs of TmbeM corpus to Judge William II. Klrkpatrlck. The huge rum syndicate was umashed last October, after Federal ngcnU had worked for more than a year collecting sufficient evident to clinch indictments against what they described as one of the boldest and most perfectly worked-out bootlegging organizations ever uncovered. A dozen lawyers appeared in court yesterday a counnel to fight for the release of 21 men, but before they got started on their defense tactics Judge Kirkpiitrick opened the secret indictment which had been returned three weeks ago.

JuiJtc Denies Freedom Ne All 21 petitioners were named In the Indictment and Judge Klrkpatrlck Immediately dlsmliscd the petitions, declaring that if the Federal Grand Jury had Indicted them sufficient evidence had been uncovered to warrant holding them for trial. The indictment covers 35 closely-typewritten pages and lists 139 overt acts, outlining the operation of the syndicate, which Is charged with smuggling rum from Montreal, St, Pierre and the Bahamas. The main office of the ring was In a building at 15th and Chestnut sts. Another elaborate office was on Walnut st. near 10th.

The radio stations dismantled were In Highland Park and on Brown st. near 15th. Two women, Miss Adelaide Jones Arid Miss Dorothy Mackle, who lived in the buildings housing the radio stations, are mentioned in the indictment as "conspirators," but will not have to stand trial Frank Hilton, described as the brains of the syndicate, was indicted In Baltimore along with Samuel Vernekoft has been linked with the Jennie Ilodcr, sixteen-year-old tweetheart of the murdered WU-liam Di Tullio, alleged South Philadelphia bootlegger, identified pictures of "Danny the Hook," otherwise known as Daniel Pkcarelli, o-called downtown gangster (insert), as photographs of the slayer of Dl Tullio.

8 P. M. killed Dl Tullio. Angelo Maravino, 24, of Mildred and Catharine was also an "innocent bystander" and observer. Now Maravino was kidnapped quite literally by Di Tnllio'8 slayers and was subsequently killed in an automobile accident.

Nothing was done about Jennie. In the last few weeks she has been doing a lot of things herself, most of them connected with the rogue's gallery. There it was she found the picture of "Danny the and pointed it out as the photograph of her sweetheart's slayer. It Is upon this Information that Piccarelli Is being re-imported to these parts. At the inquest before Coroner Schwarta Jennie appeared to name Piccarelli as Di Tullio's slayer.

Today Jennie's home is being guarded by the police despite the fact that she tossed her yellow curls in defiance at the possible retribution of gangland and asserted, "I'm not afraid of gangsters." Out In San Francisco when Danny was rounded up in an underworld raid, he is said to have admitted the shooting of Di Tullio. Police say he gave as his motive for men Voters is, unwilling to take chances" on another special session of the State Legislature for unemployment relief being "hung" by excess haranguing. This became evident yesterday when the council of the league In annual meeting at 1725 Spruce prepared a letter to Governor Pinchot urging that an extra term of the Legislature be summoned "only after" a conference of politicians, socialoglsts, Industrial leaders, educators and economists had prepared a programme to be acted upon by the Assemblymen at Harrisburg. Miss Oertrudc Ely, of Bryn Mawr, president of the State League, presided over the session which drafted the letter to Governor Pinchot. This is the second letter to be sent to the Chief Executive of the State on the subject of a special session.

The tenor of the letter Indicated the women voters are not willing to entrust the drawing up of a State unemployment aid programme to the peoples' elected political representatives. Doubts Credit Plan The letter was" drawn up shortly before Miss Mary Van Kleeck, director of the department of Industrial studies of the Russell Sage Foundation, had Indicated a certain skepticism concerning the good to be effected by an extension of credit to business leaders of the country through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The real need of industry at the present time is "not credit so much as it Is customers," said Mlsa Van Kleeck. "The committee of the Federal Reserve System has not been able to get business men to take advantage of the credit extended by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation," said Miss Van Kleeck. "There la a real need to get cus tomers for business as well aa to get it credit and the work of the pew committee Joining with the Federal Reserve System to extend credit will not be of tremendous advantage until a study of increas lng sales of products has been maae." Moby Dick1 Proves Genuine Hero When Swept Overboard iili JT0BY DICK," a police dog, VI owned by Dr.

Urania Tyr rel, of 716 N. 20th st Is somewhat of a hero in his neighbor hood by reason of his successful battle for life in the shark-infested sea off the coast of Africa late In April. Through a mishap "Moby Dick" became "man overboard" when the City of New York, on which he was traveling with his mistress, was five days out from Cape Town. John Smith, the boat's butcher, who was a firm friend of "Moby Dick," dls covered the dog's absence and sounded an alarm. Captain George Wauchope Immediately halted the ship and "Moby Dick" was seen swimming for all he was worth In her wake.

A boat was lowered and as "Moby Dick" was hauled Into It, his rescuers discovered that his unexpected plunge into the water had cramped one leg. But even with only three legs serving as propellers, "Moby Dick" managed to emulate his whale namesake sufficiently to aid In saving his own life. Dr. Tyrrcl said yesterday the dog suffered no 111 effects as a result of his dangerous adventure, f'IKE RECORD OF THE DAT 12 13 A. itorr brl-k dtvplllnr, K3 I.aurr! occupied by D.

Scientists Study 700,000 Miles of New Sun Spots SPRAWLED across the sun's equator, in a line fully 700,000 miles long, four new spots have broken out volcanic eruptions, if you must be scientific.

Each of these sun spots, accord lng to Dr. Edgar N. Faught, of the Rlttenhouse Astronomical Society, Is large enough to contain half a dozen planets the size of tne earth and have lots of room left over. They can be seen through properly shaded binoculars or small tele scopes. "The exhibit being staged at the present time," Dr.

Faught explained yesterday, "is attracting attention by reason of the linear mileage covered and the fact that the spots are so large at this, the minimum of the n-year cycle. "One spot has just emerged over tne eastern limo, a pair of good sized ones are nearing the meridian, while the fourth is approaching the western limb over which it will dis appear in two or three days."

A. Pier attitude of the Court, the atmosphere at the trial and public opinion undoubtedly influenced the Jury." Most of the speakers explained that ono of their reasons for op' posing the imposition of the death penalty was their belief that in cases of murder that are given much publicity the Jury is led by emotion. Miss S. P. Breckenridge, professor of public welfare and administration of the University of Chicago, criticized the verdict in the Massle case.

"In condoning the freeing of Lieutenant Massie for his part in the Honolulu murder the public admitted his right to play the part of executioner to satisfy his own vengeance," she said. False Arrest by Police Scored "In many of our cities the foreign colonies, where the immigrants of a generation ago and their children live, are islands of antagonism against the police," said Ernest J. Hopkins, speaking before the Immigrant Division. Mr. Hopkins investigated lawlessness in law enforcement for the Wickersham Committee.

The reason for these 'Islands," he explained, is that these foreign-born and their off-spring are In the line bf fire of many "moralistic" and regulatory laws, and see a lot of "protection" and "fixing" In American police work. "False arrest, however, is the fundamental malpractice of American police work, as well as the most prevailing and the most antisocial," the speaker declared. He urged that police be rcqutred to take an oath to every charge they bring, asserting that this would force them to obtain real evidence before taking a person into custody and would end the hundreds of thousands of arrests made merely on suspicion, which, in, fact, constitute false arrests. According to Dr. Frankwood E.

Williams, of New York, who spoke before the Mental Hygiene group, the only difference between social workers, from the highest to the loest, is one of moral confusion. "The gangster is open and above-board with his aggression," the speaker said. "He is out to get all he can and is proud of his prowess. He is not morally confused; he is confused only when he finds that we consider him bad. Our eminent board member, on the other hand, la humiliated by his aggressive tendencies and endeavors to hide them.

He is intellectually dishonest. He becomes morally confused." Delaware County Structure Lauded Before the Division on Public Officials and Administration, Mrs. Ellen C. Potter, director of Medicine, Department of Institutions and Agencies of New Jersey, and former State Secretary of Welfare in Pennsylvania, declared that the welfare structure in Delaware county is "a piece of social engineering that is a monument to the enlightened citizenship of Pennsylvania. She explained that with a population of 280,264 there are more than 80 welfare organizations.

Pointing out that only about one-seventh of the aliens deported from this country are members of the criminal or immoral clashes, Ruben Oppenheimer, in the Immigrant Division urged a vigorous deportation policy to protect our citizens, but also a deportation policy in which Justice and mercy are assured. He suggested thaj, there should be greater co-operation between the Government officials who administer the deporatlon laws and reputable social agencies. The problem of unemployment cannot be solved by the social worker and can only be ameliorated to the most limited extent, according to Elinor Clifton, of the Charity Organization Society, New York, who spoke before the Division on Industrial and Economic Problems. The most that the social worker can do is to try to uphold the morale of those who have been forced into idleness and provide what relief Is available. Forward Step Due to Depression A step forward, brought about by the depression, has been the great increase In the number of volunteer social workers, declared Francis H.

McLean, of the Family Welfare Association of America. The plans matured at the White House Conference on Child Health and Protection were explained at a dinner held last evening at the Will Likens Congress to Everybody Else To th Miter of The, Inoulrer: BEVERLY HILLS, Calif, May 20. Congress is human for the first time in years, they arc broke. Just like everybody else, and ara running around in a circle trying to pay what they owe. They got an eighteen billion dollar first plaster on the country, and now they are pop-eyed trying to get a second mortgage.

They will eventually find out they are just like other folks, they will have to cut down. No taxpayer is going to make 'em a loan if they are going to keep as much help as they always have. Yours, WILL ROGERS rinrrieM Vcrnekoff who Is under arrest nere John Hughes curus noax in Lindbergh baby kidnapping. the SHORTftGE LI TO BUTT A shortage of 'between $14,000 and $30,000" has been disclosed so far by a casual examination of the accounts of William Blewltt, 52, of S2 N. 13th missing cashier of the Inheritance tax office at Cfty Hall, It was reported yesterday.

Two sets' of auditors, one from the State Department at Harris-burg and the other from the office of Register of Wills William F. Campbell, were scrutinizing the accounts yesterday. The auditors were reported as having said that records are "in a somewhat befuddled condition." Blewltt, who had been employed In the Register of Wills office for 12 years and had been promoted to the post of cashier of the Inheritance tax office five years ago, disappeared on May 1 on his way home from work. He had been a city employee for more than a quarter of a century. An employee of Campbell's office, speaking for that official yesterday, said that It was believed that a final check-up would show that Blcwltt's shortage is much smaller than has been Indicated at first.

Disarmament Group to Meet The Pennsylvania Committee for Total Disarmament will celebrate the beginning of Its third year of active legislative and educative work at its annual meeting, to be held at the house of Mrs. Walter Cope, 200 East Johnson Ocr-mantown, tomorrow, Sunday, afternoon and evening. Old Order Changes Wife Inlo Court on THE old order changeth. Mrs. Mary Martin, 58, of 829 N.

21st and her husband, Daniel, 66, of 7155 Buist appeared before Judge Thomas Bluett in Domestic Relations Court yesterday. Hastily canning the non-support record placed before him, Judge Bluett turned to Daniel and rebuked him for not paying his wife a week, winch the Court had ordered last November. As $87 appeared on the record as the amount due, It was evident that no payment at all had been made. "If please your honor." Daniel timidly replied to the Judge's denunciatory remarks, "It's Mary who owes the money to me, not me that owes the money to her." Judge Bluett, somewhat taken aback, looked more closely at the records and discovered Daniel to be correct. Judge Gable had Imposed the support order on Mrs.

Martin last fall when Daniel claimed that his wife had obtained title to two properties he had owned, and that he was unable to make a living because of his age and a fracture of the hip he had suffered. Mrs. Martin explained yesterday she earned only $6. and sometimes only $3 a week by washing and ironing, adding that "It's hard to upporl a husband these days." The Because "Danny the Hook" for-gOyt the famous maxim about a woman's tongue and that other men's sweethearts, their vengeance once aroused, seldom can be silenced, he will be extradited from San Francisco to answer here for the murder of William Di Tullio, alleged South Philadelphia bootlegger. Danny's real name is Daniel Piccarelli, his age 26, his address somewhere downtown and his knowledge of the opposite sex a minus quantity.

The reason why Danny should have known more about women is the blonde "girl friend" of the dead Dl Tullio. For it is 16-year-old Jennie Hoder, sweetheart of the murdered man, who Is the real cause of Danny's coming a cropper with the law.
