SMITH WILL MEET RITCHIE TO DISCUSS WET POLICY

BELIEF HELD AL WILL WORK OUT DRY LAW STAND Prohibition Paragraphs in Acceptance Speech May Be Outlined. GOVERNOR WILL REST Starts Saturday to Spend Several Days in Quiet With Family. BY PERCY SCOTT, United Press Staff Correspondent ALBANY, N. Y., July 27.—What is generally regarded by political observers here as one of the most important conferences of Democratic leaders thus fartheld in this campaign will get under way in New York City tonight, when Governor Alfred E. Smith, Democratic presidential candidate, and Governor Albert Ritchie of Maryland meet. While the candidate has said there is no special significance to be attached to tonight’s conference, there is a strong impression here that the chief topic of conversation will be Smith’s pronouncement on prohibition in his acceptance speech. Stand May Be Decided The two men are, perhaps, the strongest advocates of a change in the present prohibition system. Both have prounced ideas on the subject and has declared for a plan whereby the individual State shall be given the right to set up a standard for alcoholic content of beverages. It is not at all improbable that the two will' discuss that thought in detail and out of it may grow the paragraphs of Smith’s speech on that subject. The candidate was ready today to take his first week-end rest since he was nominated. He will visit his office at the Capitol for a few minutes and then take a mid-day train fcr New York. Plans Short Rest Early Saturday he will leave the metropolis by automobile for Goodground, where the summer home of C. F. Murphy, the leader of Tammany Hall, is located, and spend several days there with his family. Word has gone out that while he is there Smith is not to be disturbed by any appointment in the nature of a political conference. He may return to Albany about the middle of next week.

PARDONSARE DENIED Prison Trustees Rule Convicts Must Serve Terms. Bji Times Special MICHIGAN CITS' Ind., July 27. —The days when young men can strap on a ggun, steal an automobile, go out on the roads and shoot and rob motorists and pedestrians and expect to get out of prison on pardon or parole in a few months are numbered, it was indicated here today. Taking the occasion to remark that “young men who are terrorizing the country now must be kept in a safe place and made to pay the full penalty of their crimes,” trustees of Indiana State Prison, sitting as a pardon board in the July meeting at the prison here, denied sixty-seven of sixty-nine appeals for clemency. The board was equally “hardboiled” about plain murder, turning down plea after plea on the score that “a life sentence must mean a life sentence.” Although a delegation of citizens urged release of James Walker, known in the prison as “Doctor Jimmy,” because of his work as assistant to the surgeon, the board refused to lighten his life sentence for the murder of two policemen in Alexandria, Ind., in 1911.

STORY TOLD BY PRISONER STIRS JAILJJIZ PLEA U. S. Commissioner Kern Raps Methods of Providing Attorneys. Criticism of methods of providing prisoners in city prison with attorneys was voiced by United States Commissioner John W. Kern Thursday afternoon at a hearing for four youths held on white slave violation charges. The youths, Gus Marino, 19; Charles Friscia, 17; Frank Catanzaro, 20, and Joseph Friscia, 18, all of New York, are charged with transporting Alma Fansler, 19, St. Louis, from that city to Indianapolis, with New York as their destination. Marino asked Kern for permission to send telegrams to parents of the four, explaining he had given addresses to a lawyer at city prison, out the lawyer told him the addresses were Incorrect. The lawyer says he discovered that the correct address was in Brooklyn, although the defendants had told .him T’:w York. Offers to Arrange Bond Under Kern’s questioning, Marino testified that about an hour after they had been locked up in city prison Tuesday they were visited by a man who suggested he would get “a good Jewish lawyer for them” who would charge only a few dollars. A few minutes later, Marino said, Attorney Harry Rodman visited them and introduced himself as the attorney they had sent for. Rodman is not Jewish. “He asked us how much money we had,” Marino told Kern, “and when we said $lO between us, he said his fee would be $lO. “He said he would get us out on bond for SIOO each, but finally said he would do it for $25 each. We gave him addresses of our parents to wire them for money. Next day he said the telegraph company told him they couldn’t find the addresses.” After being transferred to the Marion County jail, Kern was told the youths were told by another prisoner to get another lawyer, and on the prisoner’s suggestion, Miss Jessie Levy was called and asked to send telegrams. Rodman Denies Story “There should be an investigation of the whole affair,” Kern said. The boys and the girl were held under $1,500 bond each. Rodman today explained he was

in the turnkey’s office when one of the four boys, attempting to use a telephone, said he wanted to talk to a lawyer. “I didn’t send a bondsman or anyone else to the boys to ask if they wanted a lawyer,” Rodman asserted. “They said they wanted one and I was there talking with another man and Marino asked to talk wit hme. The turnkey gave me permission to with him. “I sent telegrams for the boys with my own money but got no answer. I said nothing about getting bond for them at any certain price, but I did tell them they would have to send for money if they wanted to get out on bond.’ ’ “I have no connection, nor have I €ver had, with any bondsman. I have been informed by my former clients that Miss Jessie Levy now is their attorney. I received not a penny of compensation for the work I did do on their case, despite the fact that I paid out of my own pccket the charges on two telegrams to New York, after my employment, and prior to Miss Levy’s.” Civil War Teamster Dies 81l Times Special WASHINGTON, Ind., July 27.
