INVESTIGATING

Deitz against William e. Rubin. the
attorney who dropped the case after
q clash with his client. After spend

story OF the case. Mr.. williams,
George Schultz, head leader Of the
Deitz committee and Assemblyman
Frank j. Weber, socialist leader, who
has been active in Deitzs behalf went
to lunch together, merely saying they
had agreed to make no statements.
Schultes is aiding Williams in an ef-
fort to determine whether Rubin was
guilty Of unprofessional conduct, while
1t is understood Weber represents
Rubin. There are ugly rumors on
both sides Rubin's friends say Deitz
got away with over $4,000, and that
Rubin quit him because he found
Deitz did not propose to pay him. On
the other hand, Deitz's friends say
they have evidence OF technical i'm
lroprieties by Rubin. Advices from
Fond du Lac are that Clarence
Deitzs condition is still critical 1t
was expected today it would show that
all danger of peritonitis was ended,
but he has not shown the improve
ment his physicians desired.

he may have crossed the line,
