REPORT WON'T Do.
Treasurer of Republican County
Committee to Be Arrested.

Oscar Swayze. deputy county clerk,
has filed a complaint with the county
attorney against Matt Weightman, jr-,
charging him with failing to comply
with the law requiring candidates for
public offices to file itemized accounts of
their campaign expenditures.
Mr.. Weightman is treasurer Of the Re
publican county central committee, and
the item in his account which has in
CURED the proposed investigation of Mr.
Swayze is one which occurs in Weight
mans report The account is rent
1928" Mr. .Swayze takes exceptions to
this bill, and says that it is very in
definite. as it certainly was not for the
rent of the headquarters, which were
secured from the Republican F'lambeau
club, of which Mr.. Swayze was treas
urer, and paid $50 for the use of the
rooms
Mr.. Swayze mentions several minor
mistakes in the statement filed by
Weightman, some where the name of the
recipient was not given, and others
where the purpose for which a sum was
expended is not given.
SwayZe says that his particular OBJ
lection to the statement filed by Weight
man is the rent item. as he was treas
urer of the club and received the $50 rent
paid by the central committee, and if
left like it now appears people would
naturally think he made a rakeoff of
$40 on the renting 81 the rooms. County
Attorney Galen Nichols has taken the
complaint under considera ton, and if he
grants the warrant Weightman will be
arrested.
1.-The trouble started several days
ago." said Mr. Swayze, when asked
about the affair. "I called WeigEtman
up by phone and told him he would
have to remedy his statement, which
was not according to law and reflected
on me. He answered that the county
clerk had accepted it. Then l told him
that 1 was not speaking in my official
capacity. but as citizen. He said that
he would not change the report, and I
am going to see
Mr. WeightE1an explained the rent
item by saying that it covered not only
the rent OF the rooms in the Armory
but halls and buildings used by Repub-
lican campaign speakers, and that he
could, if necessary, produce vouchers
for every item.

NO CHRISTMAS PARDON
Governor Stanley Will Issue
None This Year.

Governor Stanley has no pardons for
criminals on the list of Christmas pres
ents which he expects to make this year
1t is his theory that the granting of a
pardon is not a matter of sentiment and
it has been the practice during his adj
Ininistration to attend to petitions for
pardons i'll the regular course of business
and not make them a Christmas or
Thanksgiving feature. Out of thirty-six
paroles and eighty-seven conditional par
dons which have been granted during the
Stanley administration only seven have
been broken, which is a remarkably good
record.
Governor Stanley's training as d lawyer
has undoubtedly been OF great advantage
to him in judging of the merits of re-
quest for pardon. OF all the prisoners
to whom he has granted paroles in ac-
cordance with his own judgment without
being influenced by the appeals in their
behalf. he says he has been dsappoint-
ed in only two.
The governor says he has never been
approached in regard to a pardon for
John Collins except by the sentimental
lists from whom frequent letters are re-
ceived urging him to pardon John Collins,
Willie Sell. Dalton and other prisoners
whose cases attracted a great deal of at
tentiOn.

MRS. DARLINGTON BOOTH.
She Tells About an Inheritance-Gets
Nothing from Volunteers.

Newark, N. J.. Dec. 1S-Mrs. Balling-
ton Booth, of the Volunteers of Ameri-
ca, in an address which she delivered
in the First Congregational church,
Montclair, declared with emphasis that
neither she nor her husband. Comman-
der Booth, received one cent from the
organization of which they are the head.
This statement, it is believed, was mad,
for the purpose of setting at rest re-
ports that their handsome property on
South Mountain avenue and several
acres of land on Claremont avenue, val
ued in all at $4,000, were bought from
money they had been receiving from the
Volunteers. Mrs. Booth said that her
family was supplied by a personal in
heritance which she received from her
grandfather.
Last Saturday Mrs. Booth returned
from an extended trip through the west
ern states. where she spent considerable
time visiting prisons. q work in which
she and her husband are largely inter-
ested. Two weeks ago she spoke to u,
600 prisoners in Columbus. 0. She re-
ferred to the growth of the Volunteer
movement during the past seven years,
and of the good accomplished through
the prison leagues. which have been
formed in number of state prisons.
Sing Sing, and there are now 16 of
them. AT first this prison work, she de-
clared, was experimental, but it has
now become an established power for
retaining the HVeS OF unfortunate men
and women.
Between 80 and 90 per cent of this
number continued Mrs. Booth, would
become law-abiding citizens if the state
would shelter them when they leave
prisons instead of spending so much
money in prosecuting prisoners. Three
homes have been opened where men
may go and remain until they are a Bile
to find employment. One of these homes
is in Flushing, Long Island; another in
Iowa, and one in Illinois,"
Mrs. Booth said that by devoting all
her time to lecturing she was able 20
make $4,000 year for carrying on the
work. and that last year she realized
$21, 900.
But the plans for carrying on the
work" she said, will be through a
maintenance league, which has been es-
ia blished, whereby persons contribute
any amount Some persons are paying
as much as 800 year and others $50
IF we can get friends to do this" she
concluded, eve will willingly do the
work. In making this request I feel I
have a right to appeal to the churches
