"nispnvrrlM of fraud or wilful re-

CALLS BAD LIQUOR
ONE GRIME CAUSE
Cortolyou Also Blamo3 "Dope"
and Extravagance Bred by
Wartime Wages
URGES QUICK PENALTIES
Had liquor, narcotic drugs and war
time wages which permitted unnatural
spending arc given as the chief causes
of the present prevalence of crime by
James Cortelyou, Director of Public
Safety.
Quirk, decisive action by the courts
and long terms for criminals are sug
gested by the director as a means for
cutting It short,
"There Is no denying that the ao
called whisky traffic has had much to
do with the present crime wave," said
the Director.
"The pity of it Is that most of the
stuff sold and transported Is nothing
short of poison. When certain types of
men and young boys partake of that
deadly stuff commonly called 'hootch'
It acts upon them In such a way as to
mako them go nlmost to any extreme
to get more. In that manner these
poor, foolish youths nro driven des
perate, and the first thing they know
they hnve gono from bad to worse
they are using dope.
Would Rob Mothers
"Once they take that awful step It
Is almost Impossible to reclaim them.
With their minds In that stute and the-'
false ncre Instilled into them by the
terrible effect of the drugs, they would
actually hold up their own mother if
she happened to come along while they
are 'charged up.'
"Whot we want most to stop crime
Is quick and decisive action after crimi
nals arc onco caught. If the courts
would only act quickly and hand out
long sentences I feel sure much good
would result."
In speaking of other causes
which Lave acted as breeders of crime,
the Director said :
"The exceedingly high wages paid
during tho war caused the average
workingman to live and spend away
beyond his limit. When the war was
brought to a close those people who
had Invested heavily In Liberty Bonds
and war saving stamps were forced to
sell them at a sacrifice In order to keep
from starving.
Honest Men Go Wrong

vestments had been spent many of the

workers, who In ordinary circumstances
are really honest, were forced to seek an
existence by hook or crook.
"However, hard times or no hard
times Is no excuse for either n workman
or an employer to bo dishonest.
"One of i the big reasons why tho
surety companies suffered such hdavy
losses was the fallurc-of employers to
exercise the proper supervision over
their employes. When Charles
Toomcy's heavy embezzlements were
unearthed It was suggested that every
flnonclal institution In the city imme
diately havo trusted employes 'checked
up.' '
