Omaha Officers Want Teeth Put in Criminal Law Beal and Pszanowski to Urge More Severe Penalties for Offenses Upon Present Legislature. , Police Inspector Jack Pszanowski ’and County Attorney Henry Beni launched a campaign Wednesday to ! l>ut more teeth in Nebraska criminal . laws. , They will go to Lincoln this week » to urge the adoption of -one of the t most drastia criminal codes in the J country. * Some of the sentences they will urge are: For burglary in the night time, life imprisonment: for highway robbery, 30 years fiat; for auto theft, 3 to 10 years. Announcement of the program for a more rigid criminal code was an nounced following s conference be tween Beal and Pszanowski Wednes day morning. "We don't need any more laws than jWe have (ow," Pszanowski said. "What we need is teeth In the pres ent laws. The punishments fixed are too light and offer too much leeway to soft-hearted Judges. Criminals Take Chance. "The result is that criminals will 'take a chance.’ They know that they will get off with light sentences and he free again in a few years or | months. That is the reason for the great increase in crime since the War." Beal and Pszanoswkl assert that the entire Omaha delegation in the legislature will support their pro gram for "laws with a bite." Most of the proposed statutes. Beal end Pszanowski said, are modeled from the criminal code of Ohio, which Is known as one of the strictest in the country. It has kept crime in that state to a minimum, it is claimed. The most drastic change to he urged by Beal and Psbanowski will Ski, "but it is a wise law Burglars who the night time. At present this is ,punishable by imprisonment for from ft to 10 years. The proposed statute would fix the punishment at life im prisonment. r. Burglars Potential Murderers. i “This seems harsh,” said Pasanow "hut it Is a wise law. Burglars who enter homes at night are Invariably armed. They are as dangerous as murderers, with only the difference that they are caught before they com mit the deed.” The proposed program would also designate a punishment for at tempted burglary. This crime Is not now specifically recognized and has no fixed punishment. Larceny from a building would he made a felony, no matter what the value of the articles stolen. At present it is only a misdemeanor un less the value is sufficient to bring it 4hto the class of grand larceny. Triple Auto Theft Penalty. m* The minimum sentence for auto •theft would be tripled. The sen tence at present is from one to seven ‘"fears. This would be changed to from three to 10 years. The law -would not recognize "borrowing” Cars for Joyriding, but would punish this as a theft. Theft of accessories, Including mo .tormeters. tires, lights and chains, v ould be made a felony. V The law governing concealed weap Jons would be made particularly rigid. At present the punishment is impris jinment for from one to 10 years. Uriiis would be changed to from three Jto 10 years. s In addition, the law would require Jail persons desiring to buy revolvers Jnr pistols to file an application with •the chief of police. The police would $ c allowed 10 days In which to In V, -itlgate the character of the appli tr nt and issue or refuse the permit. J Mutilation of the serial numbers of -p weapon would he made a felony. • The present penalty for highway jobbery is from three to 20 years. This would be changed to 30 years, *1 it, and the trial judge would be ai J'■vu-ed no discretion in fixing the term jpf imprisonment.

As for these fl teeth, ha admits he never saw a fl toothbrush until h# cams to Amer- fl “There Is no truth to this sheik K idea that has taken hold of everyone I here,” the sheik declared. "In the fl first place, you all pronounce It RT wrong. It la called \sheck' and M spelled 'shaikh.’ Sheiks that run off fl with women and ride through the ; countries are only In books and In fl moving pictures. I laughed heartily fl when I first heard of Americans' con.- J . ception. “I met Valentino In California last year and was much amused.

Readjustment of all projierty assess ments in Douglas county was pro posed Wednesday by Sam K. Green leaf, who took office as county as sessor last Friday. Greenleaf declared that "glaring In equalities'' in assessments made the readjustment necessary. "Houses of exactly the same type, standing side by side, are assessed at .prices which lary by several hundred dollars,” he said. “In the case of of fice buildings and industrial plants, there Is sometimes a dlference of $200, 000 or even more between the real value and the assessed value." Wants Board of Five. To make the readjustment, Green leaf asked the county commissioners to permit him to name a board of five expert appraisers to re-examine all assessments. This board, Greenleaf explained, would establish a set of standards by which the regular appraisers would be guided in fixing their estimates. The board would also establish the as sessments on the larger buildings and properties. Greenleaf said that the work would occupy about six months, and that it would need to be done only once in 10 years. "There are several reasons why such a board is needed in making the proper readjustment," he said. Task for Fvperts. "In the first place, it should be done by experts, highly skilled in making valuations. The men em ployed in our regular staff are not specialists. The highest paid men on our staff get only $180 per month, and it would be necessary to pay much more than this to get men really competent to make a readjust ment. "Aside from that, however, eur staff has not the time to make a study of the entire assessment prob lem. We have 3,000 new buildings to inspect this winter, in order to get them in the 1925 assessments. This will take the time of the entire staff." Greenleaf said his proposal has the support of Harry McDonald, chair qjan of the board of commissioners, and he believes the hoard will grant his request at its next meeting, W. L.
