BRAND DOAK’S ALIEN HANDLING AS ‘DISGRACE' Buffalo Is in Fury Over Department Treatment of Little Communist. BY KENNTH G. CRAWFORD Time* Staff Writer BUFFALO. N. Y.. Oct. 24.—A 115pound Italian plumber, with a penchant for soap box orating, is the man who has brought to the boiling point Buffalo’s long-simmering indignation over the deportation drive directed by Labor Secretary William N. Doak. It was not one of the little plumber's fiery speeches, but the treatment he received at the hands of authorities for making it that did the trick. Joseph Scovio came to Buffalo: with his wife twenty years ago. His j entry was legal. He has three j children, 11, 15 and 17 years old, all ; enrolled in the public schools and ‘ Citizens of the United States. For the last ten years Scovio has fixed leaky faucets faithfully for the same employer. Hobby Is Communism But his spare time has been devoted to a hobby and the hobby is Communism. This marks him definitely in the eyes of the law, as represented the labor department, as the harborer of "subversive views.” Since he has neglected to take out citizenship papers, it makes him a fit subject for deportation. The. plumber was allowed to go his “subversive” way undisturbed until a year ago, when he and a group of comrades undertook to persuade the city council of North Tonawanda. a Buffalo suburb, that it w'as not doing what it should to take care of its unemployed. Waiting in Jail The mayor ordered the Communists expelled. Police clubs and fists flew. Scovio was struck on the head with the butt of a police pistol. When he recovered, he was sentenced to a year in jail for ; rioting. Mrs. Scovia and one of the chil- ! dren found jobs to keep the family from starving while Scovio served his year. The day he was released, labor department operatives transferred him to another jail to await deportation. Joe is waiting in a jail at Rochester for the labor departmen? to act. Meanwhile, habeas corpus proceedings have been instituted by Henry Adsit Bull, conservative Republican attorney and candidate for congress. Disgrace to Country • Any of Scovio’s children or any other native or naturalized American could say and do anything that Scovio has said and done, and, claiming constitutional protection for the right of free speech, probably could be acquitted of any offense whatever against peace and welfare of the country,” Bull said. "The treatment Scovio has received is a disgrace to our country and civilization.” Promising to seek repeal of the law making subversive views "an excuse for deportation "Bull has made the Scovio was a campaign issue. The law was passed in the hysterical wartime year of 1918. Bills providing for its repeal since introduced have died in the house immigration committee. There have been many cases similar to Scovio’s here, but none that has aroused so much interest. The usual grounds for exile of aliens are "moral turpitude,” which is stretched by the labor department to mean almost anything, and dependence upon public charity, probably the most common charge since Bufalo’s factories began closing. MRS. FLORA M'MURTY IS DEAD AFTER STROKE Heart Attack Suffered by Aunt of Police Captain While at a Meeting. Attack of heart ‘disease caused the death of Mrs. Flora McMurtry, 59, of 1057 West Twenty-ninth street, late Saturday night in the Modern Woodmen of America building, 322 East New York street.

Most Congress Aspirants for Repeal, Wets Learn

Poll Lists More G. 0. P. Anti-Drys Than Those Wanting Law Retained. By Scripps-Hotcard Xeic*paper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—A poll of congressional candidates listing 322 Democratic nominees for congress as favoring straight repeal, with only twenty-four opposed, and Republican nominees divided 135 for straight repeal to 103 opposed, was released today by the Women’s Organization for National Prohibition Reform. The poll, taken in letters asking the candidates for the 435 house seats and thirty-three senate seats if they will vote for “straight repeal,” definitely forecasts “a wet militant group in the new congress after March 4.” according to Mrs. William B. Mason, head of the organizations national legislative department. Responses have been received so far from 607 candidates in forty-five

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

COL LUKE LEA DENIED REVIEW BY HIGH COURT Misapplying of- Bank’s Funds Conviction to Stand. By United Pre* WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—Colonel Luke Lea, Tennessee newspaper publisher; his son, Luke Lea Jr., and Wallace B. Davis, president of the Central Bank and Trust Company of Asheville, N. C., today were denied supreme court reviews on their convictions in North Carolina on charges of conspiring and misapplying the banks funds. In acting on the case, the court waived consideration a motion recently filed by Lea and his associates asking for a delay on grounds of new evidence and allegations of misconduct on the part of one of the trial jurors. The three were convicted before Judge M. V. Barnhill of the superior court of Buncombe county. In asking a supreme court review the defendants contended that prejudice has been shown them at their trial, and that' they were refused numerous rights to which they were j entitled under the law. \ These latter inducted a demand for a change of venue and for an opportunity to prepare for trial on the indictments which had been returned only on the day the trials began. In these indictments, which they claimed were returned by a grand jury which had heard no evidence, numerous additional charges were made which they contended they should have been given time to meet. Other events which denied them an impartial trial, it was contended, included the calling of a special term of court, the improper admission of testimony “inflammatory” arguments by the prosecutor, and an "unfair and prejudicial charge” by the trial court.

C. H. Janssen

Speaking at today’s session of the second annual convention of the Indiana Retail Grocers and Meat Dealers Association, Inc., in the Severin, C. H. Janssen. St. Paul, Minn., discussed national legislation in which the association and similar organizations are interested. Janssen, secretary-manager of the National Association of Retail Grocers and editor of the National Grocer Bulletin, advocated amending federal bankruptcy laws through the enactment of the Andressen bill, which would establish a minimum liability of SSOO. He also urged support of the Baldridge amendment which would place bills for necessities of life among preferred claims. Enactment of the / Capj>er-Kelly bill, re-establishing the right of contract between manufacturers and merchants to fix prices, also was advocated by Janssen. Similar legislation was held invalid by the United States supreme court in 1911. Kingan & Cos. was host at a luncheon and inspection cf the Kingan plant was to follow.

‘Quack ’ Frost Leaves Are Colored Only by Chemicals, Says Expert.

A S an artist of autumn leaves, Jack Frost is obtaining credit under false pretenses, it was charged today by Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist. Contrary to popular frost has nothing to do with coloration of the leaves, and they are best when the fall brings no severe frost but is fairly dry, Wallace explained. “Leaves are colored by chemicals that are ever present,” he said. “But only in the fall does the chlodophyl, which makes the leaf green, retreat wdth the sap into the tree trurik and thus give the other colors a chance to predominate. "So far as the part Jack Frost is supposed to play in this business, it is pure fakery. Frost has nothing to do with it.”
