HONOR PARDON PLEAS ARE UP TO GOVERNOR Full Restoration of Lost Civil Rigths Demanded by Darrow. BY DAN CAMPBELL I'nltr* rrf SUff HONOLULU. May 7 —Pardon application lor the convicted American honor slayer* were before Governor Lawrence M. Judd today with favorable action expected hourly. Confidence that Judd would grant the pardons and restore their civil rights was expressed by the four defendants, whose ten-yrar prison terms previously were commuted to one hour of technical custody. Increasing pressure for the pardons was brought to bear on Judd after Mrs. Granville Roland Fortescue; her son-in-law'. Lieutenant Thomas H. Massie. and two enlisted men, Albert Jones and Edward Lord, were convicted of manslaughter m the fatal shooting of Joe Kahahawai. The slain Islander was one of five tried in December on charges of attacking Mrs. Thalia Fortescuc Massie. the naval officer's 21-year-old wife. The jury disagreed, and Prosecutor Kelley has attempting to persuade Mrs. Massie to remain here and testify at a second trial of the four remaining defendants. May Delay Sailing Despite previous announcements that the four death case defendants and Mrs. Massie intended to sail at once for the mainland, later assurances that she will appear at the attack case retrial are expected to keep both Mrs. Fortescue and Lieutenant Massie here with her. Clarence Darrow. famous chief defense counsel, who Friday presented formal pardon applications to Governor Judd, consistently has opposed Mrs. Massie'* appearance against the islanders. He claimed there was little chance for a conviction. However, Prosecutor John C. Kelley. who conducted the case against Mrs. Fortescue and three navy men, was informed today that Mrs. Massie will accept service of a subpoena. With the defendants she has remained at Pearl Harbor navy base, where prodbss servers could not enter. Consents to Summons Lieutenant L. H. C. JolTison, naval officer and associate defense counsel, wrote Kelley that Rear Admiral Yates Stirling Jr., commandant of the base, had consented to the summons. This consent apparently was because Mrs. Massie had changed her mind and agreed to remain. Lieutenant Massie, who has been ordered to report at San Francisco for anew assignment, was to sail with his wife and mother-in-law Sunday aboard the Malolo, but it was believed now he will remain for the time being. Kelley promised to have the attack retrial set at the earliest possible date. Regardless of Judd's decision on the pardons. Jones and Lord were due to sail today for San Francisco on the destroyer Tracey, which stopped here from Manila with a "mosquito fleef squadron. Naval Boycott Smarted Darrow in his pardon plea argued that an offense for which the punishment was an hour's custody was insufficient to deprive the defendants of their civil rights. The applications were backed by scores of congressmen in Washington and an unofficial navy boycott in Honolulu, where service men annually spend $27,000,000. The elderly attorney hinted that unless the pardons were granted, he would seek congressional action to restore the civil rights, but expressed confidence this would be unnecessary. STUDENTS VISIT I.

POLITICAL GANG MURDERS GERMAN LEADERS

Notables Marked for Death by Terrorists , Who Escape Without Penalty

BY MILTON BRONNER Furoptan M*o*trr. M* BERLIN, May 3 —Chicago and other American cities may have their blood/ gang murders as bootleggers and racketeers kill off one another, but post-war Germany has experienced for thirteen years a kind of political gang war which make the record of the United State* insignificant in comparison. In Germany, where political battles have Ijpen fought with bullets as well as ballots ever since Kaiser Wilnclm was overthrown, mote than 500 person* have been slain in political feud. Victims have ranged from the small fry to high publ.c officials. The recent attempt on the life of Dr. Hans Luther, head of the German reichsbank. has directed attention to the long list of crimes resulting from political feuds. Dr. Luther luckily escaped death, the would-be killer's bullet merely wounding him in the hand. The assailant was a wellknown German economist, who opposed Dr. Luther’s iron fiscal decrees. The poltical murders in Germany are not the work of isolated cranks. They are carefully planned crimes by various secret organizations. In some cases, the “vengeance courts” of the secret organizations first “try" and "convict" a man selected for assassination and then send a representative to kill him. Usually, the victim is a political enemy or some former member of their own organization who has been denounced as a “traitor.” The blot on Germany and the German courts is that in all the thirteen years none of the murders committed has been punished by the death or even the life imprisonment of any of the assassins. In many cases it has been reported that no clew could be found to the killers. In many more cases, where men have been arrested for the crime, they have been acquitted. In a few cases, they have been given nominal sentences of from one to three years’ imprisonment

The committee is composed of representatives of large oil companies who are seeking to stop tax evasion in the state. The reward announcement follows: "The Indiana gas tax evasion committee will pay a suitable reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of parties who dump gasoline in equipment owned and controlled by other oil companies. "The information requested should give the time and place where the illegal dumping occurs, together with the truck license number and a description of the driver. "All information so received will be treated in strictest confidence, and vigorous prosecution will be instigated where the evidence warrants such action."

BOY, 5, TUMBLES IN WELL, GRABS PIPE

Pluck in Holding to Refuge Saves Lad From Plunge Into Water. James Mains. 5, moved into his new home today and nearly lost his life. Only his pluckiness and a pipe that protruded from a cistern which contained six feet of water raved the boy f:om drowning. Janies didn’t want to be in the way while his mother was arranging furniture in their home at 1506 West New York street. She granted him permission to take a hammer and play in the backyard. James’ hammer exploration took him to the cover on an old cistern. He beat on the planks with the hammer and one of them became loosened. Then James made his mistake. He leaned froward on the loose plank to wield his hammer at an old nail on another part of the cover. The loose plank turned under his weight and hurled the child into the cistern. Mrs. Lucy Page, 1461 West New York street, had been watching her neighbor's son bang his hammer on

State Contends Writer Shot to Death in Bed by Australian Flier. By United Perm MIAMI, Fla., May 7.—The Dade county grand jury will report Monday in its investigation of first degree murder charges against Captain W. N. Lancaster, British flier, in the death of Haden Clarke, Vernon Hawthorne, state's attorney, told the United Press today. Clarke was shot to death in the bed he occupied with Lancaster in a sleeping porch at the bungalow home of Mrs. Jessie M. Keith-Miller, Australian woman flier, Clarke's intended bride, and Lancaster’s flying partner for the last five years. Hawthorne said he learned that Lancaster had been & guest at an El Paso (Tex.) hotel before he went to St. Louis, where evidence indicated he purchased a gun which killed Clarke a few days later. An excerpt from the flier s diary concerning his stay in El Paso was quoted by Hawthorne as follows: “Wired Chubbie (Mrs. KeithMiller) every cent I could raise. It leaves me broke, but God may provide. How to get out of the hotel is a problem. Why no news .tom Chubbie? “4 a. m. I have been trying to telephone Chubbie. No reply. Why? I’ll die with nervous worry.” Although Mrs. Keith-Miller has contended she and Lancaster were "good friends, nothing more.” Hawthorne has said letters written between them and the diary indicate a deeper feeling. The state contends that a love triangle existed. SEIZE ATTACK SUSPECT Woman Points Oat Alleged Hammer Assailant on Street.

Here on Aug. 26, 1921, while out walking, he was set upon by two young ruffians, who shot him twice.

Before the war he was one of the greatest industrialists In Germany. During the war he was called to high service by the kaiser. Rathenau had pointed out that the war promised to be a long one, and it would be necessary to conserve all materials like copper, rubber and cotton, for the army.

CRITICS ICNOREO AS KIN GO ON U. STAY ROLL Much Stamina Displayed in Clinging to Family Racket. BY RAYMOND CI.APPF.R Yoltc* rtfu Staff Cormpondrnt fCoovrltht. 1*32. br United Pre*> WASHINGTON, May 7-Con-gressmen may be accused by some | critics of being easily frightened, but they can display a good deal of stamina when it comes to clinging to the family pay roll racket. The case of Representative Joe H. Manlove ißep., Mo.) has attracted much attention in his district. Through two campaigns he has been criticised for employing hi* wife as a clerk, but despite this, she still remains on the house pay roll at $291 a month. "That is a matter than has been discussed thoroughly in my district in two campaigns when my opponents published it and put out thousands of copies," Manlove said today. "There is practically nobody in my district, however, who does not understand the situation. "Mrs. Manlove is a very highly educated woman, and always ha* helped me. I am permitted only two clerks, and there have been times when it was necessary for me to use from three to seven or right clerks. I will spend the equivalent of Mrs. Manlove s salary’ on the average on extra clerks. In some years I spend more.” Ignore Nepotism I.aw* Representative Manlove said he had three regular employes in his office now besides his wife, and he was obliged to have two or three others to work at night occasionally. Asked what required so much office work when many congressmen manage to exist with one or two clerks on active duty, Manlove said he encouraged correspondence with his district.' Many members continue the employment of wives, children, in-law*, or political workers despite state laws against nepotism. A congressman is regarded as a federal officer, and is paid from federal Instead of state funds, so that legally they are under no compulsion to observe state laws in this respect. Loyalty Is Necessary For instance, Utah enacted a law a year ago against employment of relatives by state officials. Yet three of the four members of the Utah delegation continue to employ relatives on the congressional pay roll. Senator Reed Smoot, who formerly had at least two members of hi* family on the pay roll, claims to have none now. One reason advanced by those who insist on employing relative* is that unquestioned loyalty is essential in a congressman’s office. He must let his secretary’ handle much of the correspondence with Ills district. The story is told of a disloyal secretary who trapped a southern congressman by writing a letter which the congressman signed without reading. The letter was sent to a Negro of the district inviting him to visit the representative’s home, and have dinner on his next trip to Washington. Publication of this letter resulted in defeat of the congressman in the next election. NEWSPAPER AldTn” BABY HUNT REVEALED United Press Official Tells of Help Given I.fnflbcrgh.
