LAPIQUE'S APPLICATION is
REFUSED FOR SECOND TIME

On the ground that the petition pre-
sented by John Lapique for writ of

Lapique's application. The denial was
without prejudice and he may file an
amended application.
Lapique was sentenced several weeks
ago to ten years in the penitentiary,
after being found guilty on charge
of obtaining money under false pre-

prepared such plans. rs 1t has since
prepared for them for almost every

The attitude OF the administration
toward this case Is perculiarlv clear
and well defined it has moi only
been determined that nothing shall
be done without the direction of

trained from sending any communi-
