Five Killed In Belfast's Riots; Patrol Streets BELFAST, Northern Ireland, July 15. - (A)--Steel-helmeted troopers with fixed bayonets patrolled the streets today, alert for any new out- break of the disturbances which re- sulted in five deaths and the wound- ing of 74 persons. Comparative quiet prevailed during the early hours after a series of re- ligious riots, originating with last Friday's celebrations by the Protest- ant Orangemen of the 245th anni- versary of the battle of the Boyne. The latest casualty was seven-year-' old Kathleen Stewart, who was shot down by a sniper from behind a chimney pot last night while she was playing on a street. She was taken to a hospital with a bullet in her shoulder. A search for arms was pressed to- day. Police took elaborate precautions to prevent further bloodshed during the funeral of two of Friday's victims, Mary Broderick, 29, and Edward Withers, 18. Flattery Gets His Man For A New Yrk Cop NEW YORK, July 15.- (P)-A little flattery, and out came a crime secret. To John Mang, accused as a member of the Brooklyn-Queens "rifle gang," which eluded police for three years, a police lieutenant said: "It's almost genius the way you boys always got away. We ought to name your method after you; that is, if we had any idea of how you did it." Mang beamed and told. They used two license numbers, he said, a big one on the rear of their car, a little number on the front. Pursued, they drove fast enough to turn around and double back.

Prisoners Of State Made To List Holdings New Boss Of Scotland Yard Will Be Game For'Sideline Coache o - i Plan To Have Inmate Able To Pay Finances Himself While In Prison LANSING, July 15. -P(2)- The state today became a nagging room- ing house keeper to inmates of its prisons. Auditor General John J. O'Hara launched enforcement of the Delano bill, designed to make every prisoner in a state prison, with vulnerable. property, to pay his own keep. He sent a questionnaire to every state prison requiring every inmate to list his property holdings. O'Hara has appointed a former as- sistant attorney general, Ralph E. Hughes, to enforce the law. A form- er administration had employed Hughes to extract from inmates of state mental and hospital institutions the cost of their hospitalizaion. Board Bills Included Represenative Carl F. Delano, Re- publican, Kalamazoo, wrote the bill which was adopted by the legislature and signed by the governor, and which will permit the state to force prison inmates to pay the average per capita cost of their incarceration and also pay their board bills since the time they were imprisoned. The measure is awaiting the first contestant on the grounds of its con- titutionality. Hughes denied a rum- or that Ralfe McDonald, who will inherit $250,000 on his majority, and who slew his mother in Flint, will be the first defendant in a circut court suit to collect board for state prison inmates. The state legislature passed a law in 1923 which empowered the auditor general to collect for hospitalization fromall monied inmates of sanitoria and mental institutions. $207,392 Collected In 1934 Records for the fiscal year of 1934 show the state treated 15,209 such cases and collected $207,392 from pa- tients able to pay their own way and an additional $100,000 in collateral. The questionnaires mailed to the State Prison of Southern Michigan today require each prisoner to give the name of his guardian, list his real estate holdings, his ownership of per- sonal property, his army service, and the amount of his pension of com- pensation from the army. Prosecutor Makes Petition In order to collect from prisoners with finances, the auditor general or local prosecuting attorney must make a petition in the court in which the prisoner was sentenced, praying for funds from his estate to cover the entire cost of keeping the defendant prisoner. The sentencing judge then names a guardian for the prisoner if he has had none previously. Dependants will be considered by the judge in setting the amount of the payments. "Previously, persons who became insane through no fault of their own were forced to pay for their keep by the state if they were financially able," O'Hara commented. "Crimin- als incarcerated due -to their own ac- tions were boarded free and spent their caches after serving their time. i LONDON, July 15. - (P) - When Sir Philip Game becomes boss of Scotland Yard next November, he will be open to fire from many critics. Such has been the experience of all his 12 predecessors in the post, officially styled commissionership of police for the metropolitan area of London. The very scope of "The Yard's" activities makes its chief a bull's eye for the barbed darts zealous British- ers are fond of throwing whenever they think their much vaunted liber- ties are threatened. ''E's A Blinkin' Tyrant Even a minor charge in police ad- ministration may raise a storm of censure, for the popular mind, the yard bosses are ruthless autocrats without due regard for the nation's democratic traditions. In addition to preserving order in Greater London's 700 square miles, the commissioner must be a born leader of men. Past bosses have faced bitter crit- itism because they allegedly failed to keep their 30,000 odd constables hap- py as well as mentally and physically alert. Class Favoritism Charged Much of the public reproof admin- istered to the retiring commissioner, Lord Trenchard, arose from his ef- forts to stop what he called "mental and physical rot" in the force. A glut of old men, with no chance of promotion, had impaired the force's efficiency, Trenchard held. To mend matters, he started hiring young college men on short term en- gagements not exceeding 10 years. A nation-wide cry at once arose that Trenchard was demoralizing the force by introducing class distinc- tions. That the reverse was the truth i i SIR PHILIP GAME was admitted even by policemen wh the popular fervor had cooled. Both Trenchard and his predec sor the late field marshal, Lord Byi in fact, earned the respect anda miration of the yard's men fori spiring the force with their prest and personality. It is to carry on this tradition th Sir Philip Game, with five years experience in handling recalcitra New South Wales politicians, has be chosen to succeed Trenchard.
