GOVERNOR GIVES DIM HOPE FOR LUESSE LIBERTY Tells Citizens’ Group He Will Consider Matter If Judge Baker Approves. Glimmrr of hop? for thf release of Theodore Luesse. unemployed leader, from thp Indiiuia state farm at some fimp brforp he has served out. his rntirr ssof) fine, in addition to thp ypar sentence alrpady served, loomari today. For Governor Harry G. Leslie told a group of representative citizens 'seeking release of Luesse that he would consider the matter, if Judge Frank Baker ‘approved and Luesse would behave himself at the farm. Luesse was sentenced by Baker ■•'-eause it is alleged he urged a group of thp unemployed to return furniture to a house from which a family was evicted. Leslie told the delegation calling on him Tuesday that he didn't make the eviction law', nor was he sure of the justice of it, hut given Luesse into state custody, it w-as up to him to see that he obeyed the farm rules. Says Luesse Is Arrogant “Luesse is more arrogant now than when he w'as sent to the farm," the Governor told them. He deliberately will break rules and scoff at the administrators. He was placed in solitary confinement for striking a guard. "Surely I can not release a man who misbehaves like that, and expert to retain any discipline among the 2,000 other prisoners there.” The delegation agreed with the Governor on that point. But pleas were made for Luesse’s release on the grounds that he is somewhat of a "political prisoner," and placed in jail for his radical views. Luesse Is the Communist candidate for Governor. Spokesmen for the group appearing before Leslie was the Rev. Bert R. Downey, pastor of Downey Avenue Christian church. He put. the matter on humanitarian grounds. Appeal Second to Leslie Samuel Nathanson was on hand to strengthen this view by explaining to the Governor that Luesse on three occasions gave blood transfusions to save the life of his < Nathanson 'si daughter. Hr refused to accept money for this, Nathanson said. Should he be released Nathanson assured the chief executive that he will give him employment. A man w'ho would do w'hat he did can not be all bad," Nathanson pointed out. Other members of the delegation were Attorneys Joseph Morgan and Thomas D. McGee; Theodore Vonnegut and William Barrett, merchants. This is the second such appeal made to the Governor without any definite action being taken.

Claim Law Violation in Congress Nepotism Cases

Diversion of Pay Funds to Absentee Employes Held Conspiracy. HU ' ifi/tH-lf turrit rj Xnrgpnprr A flintier WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—Wellinformed authorities on the United States criminal code are of the opinion that senators and congressmen, who have been in the habit of diverting their personal patronage funds for clerk hire to absentee employes, or for those who have rendered no services for their pay, are subject to indictment for conspiracy. Numerous instances have come to light in the past tw r o years, since the Issue of nepotism and abuse of the patronage pay roll have challenged public attention, in which members of congress have employed relatives and others, w'ho have not resided in Washington or rendered any return for their compensation. Hiring Other Help Other instances have been disclosed in w'hieh members have admitted that w'hile the funds went to relatives, the money or a part of it w'as used to hire other clerks. Charges also have been made that some clerks or secretaries have had to return part of their remuneration to the members employing them. Section 9715 of the United States criminal statutes, under w'hich any action against those guilty of splitting w'ages or otherwise converting public funds to purposes not embraced within the law w'ould fall, in the view of those who have studied the matter, reads as follows ; 9715. Conspiracy to commit offense against the United States.— If, two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such parties do any act to effect the object, of the conspiracy, eacn of the parties to such conspiracy shall be fined not more than SIO,OOO or imprisoned not more than two years, or both." Conspiring Charge Possible No money may be obtained from the government by any worker without taking of a federal oath for performance of duty and signing a voucher for its receipt. Thus, it is contended that an overt act of conspiracy takes place w-hen any senator or congressman enters into an agreement with any employe to accept clerical for which no service is given or which are to be surrendered in whole or in part to any other person. law Seniors Name Officers Rtf l ime a Special BLOOMINGTON.

NIGHT SCHOOLS' LOSS FELT IN CITIZEN TESTS # Fewer Aliens Now Passing Examinations for Naturalization. Abandonment of free public night schools by the school board in the interest of economy already is being felt through the lower percentage of aliens able to pass naturalization examinations, it was stated today by W. P. Kiefer. Cincinnati, district director of naturalization. Out of a group of sixty prospective citizens examined, Kiefr said, only thirty-two qualified to receive citizenship at a hearing to be held Friday before Federal Judge Robett C. Baltzell, and of the successful applicants, fifteen had attended the night schools before they were closed in June. Ordinarily, Kiefer said, from 95

to 99 per cent of naturalization applicants. who have been students in night'school classes are successful, but since closing of the night schools, only 35 per cent have been able to pass the examination. Unless school officials are success- | ful* in their efforts to find funds with which *to reopen the night j schools, he said, the same lowstandard of qualification among aliens as prevailed before night school classes were started in 1925 will prevail hyre again. Citizenship classes in the night schools have raised the standard of qualification in Indianapolis to one of the highest in the United States,) Kiefer pointed out. Night school classes were among several phases cf school work which the school board found it necessary to eliminate, in order to reduce its budget $857,000. However, as result of public disapproval of the action, school officials are seeking to work out a j means of continuing the classes which have proved invaluable in raising educational standards among the less fortunate of the city. Dust falling in Great Britain has been traced to the Sahara desert, a distance of 2.000 miles.
