WOMEN’S CLUBS LOIN IN FIGHT TO SAVE YOUTH Greenwood (Ind.) Bible Class Sends Letter to Aid Bernard Grant. By Vr.itrrl Press CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—Thousands of persons from all walks of life are signing the pardon petition for Bernard Grant, 19, under sentence of death in connection with a murder. Attorney Thomas E. Swanson in charge of the fight to secure mercy for the poverty stricken boy announced, today. More than a dozen women's clubs have taken up the fight, Swanson said. A mass meeting of heads of these clubs was called In Swanson’s office for today to adopt resolutions condemning interpretation of the law to favor the rich. “They will agree that if Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, sons of millionaires, are too young to hang, then Grant, who is of the same age, hut poor, very poor, is too young to hang,” Swanson said. Formally Invited Swanson today formally invited Clarence Harrow, who saved Leopold and Loeb from the gallows for their murder of Bobby Franks, to assist In saving Grant. Harrow, through the United Press. yesterday announce! he would take a hand in the fight on his return from his vacation at the Loeb summer home at Charlevoix, Mich. A telegram sent by Swanson to Harrow Today follows: "Tour telephone message about the Grant case was received at my office during the Leopold-Loeh trial. I considered you too much occupied then for a conference. Hispatches quote you as saying you would be glad to assist in the Grant ease but that your services had not been requested. There is a standing request for your great aid in every case where oppressed humanity cries out because of injustice. I welcome your assistance in this case in behalf of, justice and humanity and shall withhold mailing the petition to the Governor until I hear from you.”

2,000 Signers Swanson said he expected to have 2.000 residents of Chicago and Cook County sign the petition. Today he received the copy of a letter sent to Governor Small by the men's Bible class of the Methodist Church of Greenwood, Ind. The letter follows: "Believing thoroughly that there should be no discrimination in criminal courts in this country in favor of wealth, and that even the hint of such a thing should be met fearlessly, we men of the Methodist Church at Greenwood, Ind., earnestly solicit clemency at your hands for Bernard Grant.” This resolution was adopted by unanimous vote, the letter stated. Pastors of Chicago are encouraging Swanson to carry on the fight. Rev. Simon Peter Long of the Wicker Park Lutheran Church, said: Badly Interpreted “I believe the law has been badly Interpreted hv Judge Caverly. Now that he has made his interpretation, however, it would be highly unjust to exact a stricter interpretation In Grant's case because there are no high salaried attorneys and alienists taking part in the defense.” Mayor Dever of Chicago has sent a pardon resolution to the council asking that it he adapted and sent to Governor Small. Hr. Agnes Lewis, St. Cloud. Minn., urged Swanson to fight to the last, stating he had the sympathy and support of the women of St. Cloud. City Loses S9OO in Fire Fire officials are attempting rijday to determine the origin of fire that caused S9OO damage to a house owned by the city at 1532 Laurel St. late Tuesday.

1 MODISTE NURSES BRUISES; MOURNS STOO,OOOGEM LOSS Thieves Slug Girl and Her Companion as They Enter Apartment, Fy FRANK GETTY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Sept. 17. —Another girl has come out of the West received Broadway’s largesse and paid Broadway’s price. Edith Weeks, | late of Detroit, today' nursed a cut j and bruised face from which three ; teeth were missing and wondered if j it was ail worth while, j Edith is the “Madame Bobe” of ; New York's latest sensational jewel i robbery', of which the perpetrators j remain unapprehended. She and Rob- | ert L. Hague, marine superintendent of the Standard Oil Company, were i beaten senseless Monday night and I robbed of gems worth nearly' SIOO, uuo. Twelve Years Ago . Only chance decreed that "Mme. Bobe” was spared the fate that overtook “Hot” King and Louise Lawson, other moths around the white light district's flame who enjoyed the patronage of wealthy men and paid with their lives for success. Twelve years ago Edith Weeks brought a pretty figure, a face that is called “attractive” and an lni dominatable determination to succeed to Broadway from her home in Detroit. In a few short years she was “Mme. Bobe" with an expensive siiop and expensive home in that part of the upper east side which is fashionable. There was an extravagant birthday party at Edith’s extraordinary home Saturday night. The laughter of ninety guests and the popping of corks sounded until dawn. Edith was reprimanded and promised the landlord to be good, for she said she was going to Robert Hague, who played host at her birthday party. He gave her a 4jamond bracelet with 432 round diamonds and 199 lesser stones, an ermine coat worth $4.9(T0, a gold clock and some other trinkets. Monday night, when Edith and her ; fiance were out for the evening, a "man from the drug store" appeared I at: the barred grill entrance of Madame Bobo's" home with a package. A negro maid, after some hesitancy, admitted him. The “package" proved a blackjack. The maid went to sleep. The man had accomplices and admitted them. t Edith and Hague returned early—about ha If past eleven. First Blow Misses As the front door yi-kled to the rurn of her little gold key, a muscular man standing in the shadows of the hallway made a swipe with a black-jack which wan meant to c rash on her bobbed curls. His aim ; was bad and the weapon cut a gash lin one of the plump cheeks and knocked out three teeth. An dher blow put her escort out of commission. Edith fought like a tigress. The men tore the new bracelet worth $lO,900 from her dimpled arm and took rings and baubles worth a king's ranaom, when finally they departed, not neglecting Hague's watch and cigarette case and “roil.' ’ There have been few clews uneOrthed. It Is believed some of the guests at Edith’s birthday party were Inspired to perpetrate the robbery, for she numbered among her close acquaintances a few who were quite capable of it.
