Only a Presidential Pardon Can Change Status of Ind. Harbor Man

Only a presidential pardon will per-j mit John Pora, Indiana Harbor real' estate dealer, to become a citizen of j the United States. Today John made his fourth inef-l factual attempt to secure his second i papers i John came to Indiana Harbor years afro. He started work as a mill hand j and followed that line for two years. I Then he entered the saloon business 1 In 1306. ! Every year or so Pora would put in his bid for citizenship b-.it the federal I officials would dig: up some unsavory i feature of his saloon record and he j would bo turned down. Over five years I apo his third attempt was made. j Examiner Hiazt-r of the Naturaliza-! tion Bureau delved into the past todr-.y i when John came tin for the fourth': time before Judt?e Crites in the Hammond Superior court. "Why riiil n't von Ket papers the last time?" asked he. "Because I ran a faloon,' replied Pora. "Oh no, that time.' "Well I xaminer," there was something- else prompted the examiner, had some trouble with the admitted John. 1 ou bet you did." said Blazer, just tell the court what it was." "I B-i've him some money by "Xow mistake," was all pora would tell So the e.-taminer turned to the court and explained how Pora had attempted to bribe an examiner in order that his petition for second papers mlht slide through easily. Pora was indicted by the federal Riand Jury, tried and convicted. He served his sentence In the federal prison "Xow your honor." said Examiner Blazer, "I wish to call your attention to the fact that the federal statutes wl)l. not . permit the granting- of ctftzenshlp papers to a man who has committed a felony under the statutes. If It was a state case he could live, it down In five crs but a federal conviction stands .ns.-,!n.?t him unless thc President of the United States grants hlrn a pardon" I'ora. nni Ms witnesses fled out of . the court room.

Detectives in Death Letter Case Hear of Flight

Wiih arrests imminent today in the most sensational black -hand ease that has ever stirred official circles of Hubertsdalo or Whiting, detectives yesterday learned of the lliKht of a Standard Oil laborer who, abandoning wife and family, is believed to have tied in an nn attempt to escape implication in the alleged conspiracy of a jroup of "bolsheviks and moonshiners" accused by Father Benedict Itajcany. pastor of St. John's Slavish Catholic church, with plotting his deith. Since federal men from the postoffico department have a.'iiumed control of the case, YVhitinar and Kobertsdnle'H foreign population has been thrown into a furore. Open accusations have been hurled by one faction at members of other cliques.

This is the clique that is seeking to oust Father Benedict.
