Y.—“Child, hood bogles, the scaring spec tres once a device of parents, have changed Into a modern teror of reality—crime that menaces Innocence and coats young live*.” , That Is ths warning. In suc cinct and homely ' language, given by Detective Ellis Parker whose fame ms the "Sherlock Holmes of New Jereey" f spread far from county. ‘•Child murder has lncreaaad „ three-fold in 10. years," says the famous dstsotlvs. “Crime and death have replaced child hood bogles of mere fright. Young girls are victims; they are not asfs sven in their homes or on public highways." Is the death of Emms Dick- ron, 18-year old high school girl, such s crime f The question remains unan swered, but ths possibility of it gave Detective Parker a* theme not heretofore put Into signi ficant words. As a death mys tery he compared the case of Emma Dickson, found dead by the roadside near Port Elisa beth, N. J„ Sept. 22, with these famous child murder* which remain unsolved mysteries: Janet Lawrence, 11. killed October 6, 1921, by SO * knife wounds and a- handkerchief twisted around her neck.

"Degeneracy has Increased enormously. Unless aopcthlng Parker points silently to a family blight where four cous ins in New Jersey all commit ted murder. "What makes the menace to childhood even worse." he says, "Is the failure of justice, which Is to be condemned as viucb as the neglect in correcting the cause. We have murder mys teries for three reasons: Tardl- > ness of authorities In reaching crime scenes; lack of thorough ness In examining the scenes; absence of co-operation bo- ween Investigating officials.

Next he would make investi gating efficient. And he would remove political control from the police. ••Experience,” he says, "Is one thing that solves murder mysteries. A new man who doesn't know his business Is helpless." And Parker speaks as a man of experience in the business of crime. In 20 years aa chief detective of Burlington county he has failed to solve only one rase In 100! Out of 99 In which hemade arrests, there were 91 convictions.
