"CRIME."
ADVICE TO CONSTABLES.
Mr. George Bernard Shaw made a remarkable confession to mem- bera of the Chief Constables' Association when he addressed their conference at Harrogate in the presence of hundreds of chief constables and police authorities from all over England and Wales He unblushingly, declared that during twenty years' motoring he had never driven without breaking the law. Mr. Shaw's subject was censorship as a police duty, and he mentioned exceeding the speed limit as one of the ques- tions of fact that had to be dealt with, relates the "Manchester Guardian."
yet there is no doubt that it is a development which is going to grow, and we will probably pre- sently have women police every- where, and if women instinctively the moment they get into a place begin to manage it, and have to be allowed to manage it for the peace of our private life, I am by no means sure that in another fifty years when another dia- tinguished dramatiet addresses this conference it may not con- sist exclusively of ladies."
ATHERLEY-JONES.
MP'S QUESTIONS ABOUT POLICE CASES COMMENT.
"JIX" AND CONTEMPT.
Questions were asked in the House of Commons recently regard-| ing references to the Savidge case mado at Westbourne-park Baptist Chapel, W., by Judge-Atherley- Jones, of the City of London Court and the Central Criminal Court.
He said that the authorities
should have written first to Misa Savidge, and added, "The police officers, I believe, went to her place of business and carried her off to Scotland Yard."
Mr. Shaw said the chief con- stables' organisation was one of the most important in the coun- try, and had he been asked to ad- dress the House of Lords he was not certain he would have taken the trouble. Throughout his speech he showed a warm sym-sey) asked the Home Secretary, Sir Sir Robert Thomas (Lib., Angle- pathy for the police and their pro William Joynson-Hicks,, whether "I have been driving," he said, blems. He belonged, he said, to a his attention had been drawn to "for twenty years, and I have body of men called the authors of the speech, and what action did be driven certainly a good deal over England; he was one of the "play- a hundred thousand miles in that wrights, authors, and journal propose to take? time. By the way, I hope any- ists." If he were to commit a thing I say here will not be used crime, the next day they would against me. In the course of that see in the paper "Bernard Shaw twenty years' driving. I have in the dock.

CAUGHT ONLY ONCE. "In all those twenty years I have been prosecuted only once I was informed that I had passed through a police control at a speed of 27 miles an hour. Well, there was no question, no room for argument. The constables and I were perfectly civil to one an- other. The constables were very pleased when they got my name, because they knew they would be in the papers,
I was greatly pleased, because what came into my head was, 'Well, it's a mercy they did not catch me half an hour ago when I was driving at fifty
Had the charge been one of driving to the public dan- ger they would have passed from the region of fact to the region of opinion, and that was where the chief constable found all his trou- bles came all the scandals and protests and letters to the papers.
TWO SONGS.
Mr. Shaw spoke of police per- sonal changes. "When I was an infant, about seventy years ago," he said, "there was a vulgar song which was supposed to be sung by a police officer, and it began: 'I'm the man who takes to prison him who steals what isn't his'n'. Fifty |years clapsed from the vogue of the song, and another song be- came popular-If you want to know the time ask a policeman.' The entire conception of police duties had changed, and what were once "Thief catchers" might now be termed "Welfare work-

No answer was given, Judge Atherley-Jones told "Daily Mail" reporter that he had intended to lecture on criminology, but It occurred to him that it would be opportune to deal. instead with police administration. He added:

possibly preventing a fair trial. Nothing of the kind has happened here. I stated, that Miss Savidge was carried off to Scotland Yard. That is an admitted fact.
I will neither add to nor subtract from any of my remarks.
I took every precaution not to prejudice the interests of any of the parties concerned in the inquiry. If the Lord Chancellor wrote to me I would inform him that what I have said I have said.
A final word about films' and a reference to "Dawn" contained a thrust at Whitehall To Bug gest," said Mr. Shaw, that the film 'Dawn' is offensive to German feelings is utter nonsense. What there is in that film is this. That film, in a wonderful way, with the assistance of a great English actress, does bring home to people that above all the regulations you can make, above all the laws you can make, above the duties you owe to your own country, there is ing that sometimes when a police something higher, and that is the officer makes a mistake in an ar- law of God.

The body of an English seaman, Henry Philips (40), of London, who disappeared from the steamer "Leitrim" six months ago, has been found in one of the docks at Brussels and was taken to the mortuary.
I have no hesitation In declar-
I have very friendly and bene- volent feelings towards the police individually. They invariably tell me all that is good about prison- ers who come up for sentence, and this testimony often induces me to take a lendent view.
Judge Atherley-Jones was born in 1861 and made a judge in 1918.
