Lehman, opening his crime conference tonight, levied a stinging indictment against the public and its officials for "the indifference or inertia which has permitted crime to become a profitable and reasonably safe business in New York State and the nation." He asked the assembled crime and police experts to give him in four days of deliberation suggestions for forging more powerful weapons against crime when the 1936 Legislature meets. The chief executive specified that the most immediate and most important problem is to "increase the certainty and the speed of punishment." He told the conferees that racketeering had become profitable and blackmail, murder and robbery had become common. Taking up a specific instance, the governor expressed amazement at the career of Robert V. Miller, alias Count Victor Lustig, who has been arrested 23 times in 11 States. "I cannot find that these many arrests resulted in even one conviction.

Is it great wonder that a man like this, and all his associates, feel that they can hold in contempt the law and all those who administer the law?" the governor said.

Parke, Chester county district attorney, presented a petition to the county court today asking for an investigation of the death of Evelyn Hoey, Broadway musical comedy singer and friend of Henry Huddleston Rogers, 3d, oil fortune heir. Parke said in open court he wants the death of Miss Hoey investigated and also asked that the grand jurors inquire into "the conduct of certain members of the coroner's jury" and of "certain persons who were in contact with the coroner's jurors." He pointed out that the inquest verdict found Miss Hoey died in Rogers' country home September 11 "at the hands of a person or persons unknown."

Nearly 100 of them are executives who receive annually $25,000 or more each.

The man is William Randolph Hearst and for the first time a statement of his far-flung interests Tram been made "intelligible" to interested observers. Fortune Magazine in its current issue shows a picture of Hearst the journalistic tycoon; to show the financial balance sheet which tells in terms of money and property what Mr. Hearst represents in the national economic picture. The results: 1. V.

Hearst is worth 000; owns 28 newspapers, 13 magazines, 8 radio stations. 2 moving picture companies, $41,000,000 worth of New York real estate. 14.000 shares of Homestake, richest gold mine in the United States, valued, with his other mine holdings, at 515,000,000, and 2,000,000 acres of land. 2.

Due to the insistence of John Francis Neylan, Hearst attorney, Mr. Hearst began setting his jerrybuilt financial house in order in 1925, and as a result his corporations weathered the depression with flying colors "without defaulting on a bond or a mortgage or a dividend where the public was concerned." 3. Mr. Hearst, who has had the reputation of being a big borrower is shown never since 1925 to have owed banks more than $2,000,000 and ai tlfe present time owes "the microscopic sum of $100,000." 4.

(JV)-There is a strong probability that the Supreme Court will give the nation a decision by Christmas on the validity of the administration's agricultural program. Ordinarily, a final ruling on the challenge of the feovernment's processing taxes upon which the AAA program depends by the Hoosac Mills Corporation of Massachusetts would take much longer than Christmas. But the course of the AAA depends largely on the decision, and the Farm Administration has indicated it wants, the matter expedited. In such cases, the Supreme Court usually agrees to speedy procedure. This is by far the most far- reaching case awaiting action by the court which begins its fail term next Monday.

The Hoosac controversy attacKs the constitutionality of processing taxes levied on cotton and other basic agricultural commodities. For instance, when cotton is changed to cloth and wheat converted into flour, a. tax is imposed. The AAA also assessed articles or commodities which already had been processed. That was called a floor stocks tax.

Money thus derived is used for rental and benefit payments to farmers who agree to control of production or to withdraw land from cultivation.

The Boston Herald said last week attorneys were investigating claims of the heirs of John W. Knowlton of Saugus, and another claimant who allegedly originated the idea of hydroelectric development from the tides, and that legal action might halt work on the $36,000,000 public works project at Passama-quoddy Bay, Maine, to develop tidal power. Patents were granted Knowlton in.

Floats within the wells, which would rise or drop as the water flowed into or out of the well would be geared to electric generators. The Passamaquoddy Bay plan calls for construction of a series of dams directing the water from the inflowing tide into a "lower pool" through water turbines in a huge power house. The water level in the lower pool would be controlled by a measured flow through the power house as the tide flowed in and as it started tD ebb but the pool would be drained through another gate at low tide.
