LINCOLN. March 2S-(speciaI)-Gov-
ernor Shallenberger Is out OF the state to-
day. having departed for Kansas City,
where ne will attend a banquet OF the
alumni of the University OF Illinois, his
alma mater; but his absence from the state
will not jeopardize the delicate functions
Of legislation. He did not reach the bound
airy of the state until the senate adjourned
today. and will be back in the state to-
morrow morning before the senate con-
venes.
Lieutenant Governor Hopewell did not
today, but there was a proper understand
ing that he would assume the position IL
the governor should be delayed.
1t is probable that no bills will be sent
10 the governors office for signature dur
ing his absence. The lieutenant governor,
be 1t remembered. is a republican.
Han on Electric Sign.
Sidewalk Commissioner Leavitt today
sent notice to the Dreamland theater pro-
prietor, Mr.. Robinson, that no electric sign
would be permitted to be swung in con-
nection with the new metal canopy being
built over the sidewalk in front of the
theater. The council recently granted Mr..
Robinson permission to construct the
canopy. In his letter the sidewalk com
missioner advised Mr.. Robinson that he
had formatio that the sole purpose of
the canopy was for the placing OF an cleo
trio sign, which would be a violation of
The regulations. and which It is his duty
to prevent. He said 1t would not be per-
mitted.
1t appears that other theaters in the city
have erected just such signs as the one
which the sidewalk commissioner forbids
in this instance. Mr.. Leavitt says that
the others were put up in violation Of the
ordinances, that he called the attention of
the city attorneys office to the matter and
that the matter had passed out of his
hands.
Dorsey Released Too Soon.
After the release OF suspect John ]. Dor
sey by the police Thursday afternoon De-
%tective Malone came into possession of in
formation which leads him to believe that
lie let his man go too soon. Dorsey was ar
rested down at Hallam by Marshal Won
Bush OF that place, along with a companion
named Coen. the suspicion being that they
knew something about the dynamiting of
the hank at Kramer some weeks ago.
Nothing was disclosed that indicated that
they had had anything to do with that Of
ANASNH WV = anu NAAtg c cas-
After their arrest, however. the Hallam
officer sent up to Lincoln the fragments OF
q letter which one of the suspects had torn
up at a hotel there. Care had been taken
by the man to tear this letter into very
minute fragments. There were approx
mately a hundred OF them from the two
sheets OF note paper.
Thursday night Special Officer Morse took
these frag ments home with him and his
wife devoted some time to piecing the lvtter
into shape again, which she did completely,
with the result that IL was discovered that
a woman in Hartford, Conn, had written
therein 20 Dorsey that It would be unsafe
for him to return to that city because of
his part in the theft of s.. 200. The letter
stated that the writer had been advised
that a warrant was out for Dorsey and
that il he came back to Connecticut he
should not come to Hartford, but should
stop at some nearby town. where she might
meet him. Meantime Dorsey lost no time
in getting away from the zone OF the Lin
coin police activity as soon as he was re-
leased.
When arrested he had no money upon his
person except a s. bill which was carefully
wrapped up in a letter in a cigar box which
he carried for a trunk.
