MAN WHO MADE GOOD
RECAINS HIS PAROLE
Chance Is Given Fugitive for
Whom Ford InterCedod.

Jeffersonville, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE
beard of trustees of the Indiana re-
formatory. sitting as parole court,
decided to reinstate George Tyron, or
Gaspard Fait, in his paroled relation
ship, interrupted when he was arrest
ed at the instance of his mother-in-
lew. Mrs. May Lewis. of Indianapolis,
at Detroit, Mich.
Tyron left for Detroit and will re-
sumo his position in an automobile
factory. Henry Ford interceded in
his behalf after his arrest. d. C..
Peyton, superintendent, said that Fait,
as he was known in the institution,
had made good since his parole on
May 25, 1912. He reported for six
months, but after eloping with his
present wife he was evidently afraid
to report. His career was traced,
however, by the parole authorities and
1t was found that he had been honest.
He has, accordingly, been placed in
the position he was when he made
his last report. Six good monthly re-
ports will earn his complete dis
charge. He was sent to the institu-
ton from Indianapolis Nov. 27, 1910,
on conviction on a charge Of grand
larceny.

PEACE is DEMANDED IN DIET
PIussan Socialist Says His Party No
Longer Supports Government.

Amsterdam, Feb. 11.-In submitting
the budget to the Prussian diet,
August Lentze, minister of finance, de-
clared that economically Germany was
able to cope with the war long time.
After Herr Lentze had spoken Herr
Hirsch, a Socialist deputy, created a
scene by asserting that the Socialist
party refused further to support the
government and demanded the ter
mination of the war.
DR.. Karl Liebknocht, another Social
list, interrupted the speech Of a con-
selvative member, Herr Heyderbrand,
who was expatiating on the unity Of
the German peoples, and declared,
"You have no right to speak in the
name of the people" This utterance
caused a great commotion and there
were numerous cries of shame" but
quiet was soon restored The budget
was sent to committee.

BIG PACKING FIRMS
FINED $4,000 EACH
Missouri High Court Holds They
Combined to Fix Prices.

Jefferson City, Mo, Feb. 1.-THE
packing firms Of Armour & Co., Swift
& Co., the st. Louis Dressed Beef and
Provision company, the Hammond
Packing company and Morris & Co.
were found guilty of violating the
state antitrust law by the Missouri
Supreme court An order of custer
was issued, but the companies are al
lowed to remain in the state on pay
ment Of fines.
Each company was fined $4,000. To
stay in the state each company must
pay its fine by March II, 1915.
The supreme court ruled that the
antitrust law was violated by the ac-
quirment by the National Packing
company of the Hammond Packing
company and the st. Louis Dressed
Beef and Provision company. The
National Packing company was organ.
izeG by the Armour, Swift and Morris
companies.
The opinion says that the National
Packing company became holding
company for the five packing com
panies named and directed them
thereby destroying competition anc
fixing the price for dressed meats.
Judge Bond dissented from order
in6 a fine, though he concurred in
the judgment Of custer. He held
however, that as the National Pack
ing company has been dissolved, the
ends Of justice could be met by de
creeing an custer, and staying the
execution Of the order during goot
behavior

Breitung and his wife persuaded their
daughter Juliet to leave Kleist short
ly after their elopement.
Kleist is suing Mr.. and Mrs. Brei-
tung for $250,O00, the value which he
places on the affections Of his girl
wife. According to his story, the girl
took a leading part in their romance,
arranging the introduction through
her maid and finally telling him that
size hoped to marry him some day.
Kleist at the time was gardner on
an estate of the Breirungs in Mar
quette, Mich. On Oct. =, 1913, he said
he left Marquette for good and all
bent upon achieving a brilliant fu-
tur6 in Cleveland. Before he left, he
said Miss Breitung said to him:
81 hope you will do well and get a
good position, for l hope to marry
you some time"
On the night of the parting Juliet's
Victrola having played a fond fare
well song, the girl first mentioned her
intentions of marrying ,ne plaintiff,
according to his story.
Letters signed by Juliet" express
great love and promise to marry Max
as soon as she got to New York and
got the chance.
Max and Juliet were married, the
plaintiff testified, at Grace church on
Nov. 23, 1913.
Mrs. Breitung Denounces Him.
Kleist said he saw Juliet every day
thereafter until Nov. 30, 1913. Two
days later a detective slapped him
on the shoulder in the street and in
vited Kleist to see Mr.. Breitung at
the st. Regis that afternoon. The
young husband testified he went to
the hotel. There Mrs. Breitung de-
nounced him, Kleist asserted.
"She said l had forced Juliet to
marry me. / said ! did not ask her
to marry me. She said You'll never
have my daughter She said had
no reputation or education. I said
Don't say that to me- She told me
the marriage would be annulled, that
Mr.. Breitung would have It annulled
"Then Mr.. Breitung came in and
shook hands with me. He said, is this
the man?' Then we went into the
next room. He told me he would do
ali he could to help me II l would
accept h proposition to annul the
marriage. He said he would give me
scme position"
Thereafter Max saw his wife again

daughter must be a thief"
On Christmas day Kleist said he
left for the west to take up his min
ing job. He received a letter from
Juliet every day until April Z, 1914,
when he returned to New York and
got in telephone communication with
his wife.
"I'll stand by you; I'll fight hard for
you," Kleist testified Juliet assured

Says, Her Love Is Cold.
Subsequently Kleist met Juliet and
she announced:
"I have learned that / do not love

Can't you you go your way and let
me be free" Kleist said that sounded
strange to him in view of all that
had preceded and begged her to come
