Trubee Davison, son of the late President of the Red Cross and partner of J. P. Morgan, the commission has tried to recruit to its ranks men of prominence, men of ability and men with zeal to make a genuine effort for crime prevention. How well it has succeeded its roster shows: Herbert S. Hadley, former Governor of Missouri and onetime candidate for Vice President; Newton D. Baker, former Secretary of War; Charles E. Hughes, recent Secretary...
