Chicago has new crime commits
sion. 1t is an outgrowth of the Mer-
Ram crime commission which raised
such stink by its exposition of rot
ten conditions sheltered by the police.
The new commission was appoint
ed by Chief Justice Harry Olson and
Judge Geo. Kersten under authority
Of city council. Aid. Merriam is a
member.
The new commission is going right
after police and criminal court meth
DDS. If it makes good its threat it is
not only going to clean the courts of
petty grating and slipshod work. but
is going to demand constitutional
changes which will give better
court system.

HOW DID THE REAL ESTATE OF
KORSHAK PASS TO MRS. FISH?
A firebug owned land. The states
attorney got after him for arson. He
slipped it (the land) to other people
and they slipped it to others and so
on and so on. The story:
Mrs. Joseph B. Fish wants to give
a piece of land to the Miriam club, a
home|for Jewish working girls. The
land is worth $22, 1000 and is at 4811-
4S15 Champlain av.
Out of the shadows Of the past rises
David Korshak, known as THE
Torch" He says Mrs. Fish doesn't
own the land. .----..
AS an expert on how to put gaso-
line, kindling, shavings and excelsior
under q building covered with big in
surance policies, Korshak was the
chief state witness against Joseph B.
Fish in the two trials in which Fish
was acquitted of the charge of head
ing an arson trust.
Rapid delivery real estate connec=
lions are now shown between Kor-
shak and the Fishs in bill filed by
Atty Marshall Gallon. Aaron Brod-
sky, father-in-law of Korshak, is the
plaintiff. Edna B. Fish, Joseph B.
Fish, the Miriam club and Herbert L.
Stern are named defendants.
Trial in this case will be pushed"
said Atty Gallon today "Korshak
will testify and bring court records
to show be was the original owner
of the pro fty."
When States Atty Hoyne got after
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-09-29

the frebugs, Kershak transferred the
property to his daughter. She slipped
it to her grandfather, Brodsky. Then,
reads the bill:
cat the suggestion of Fish, Brod-
sky transferred the property to Her
bert L. Stern as security for certain
sums of money which Fish had adj
vanced, and while the deed appears
absolute on its face it is nevertheless
mortgage, merely given to secure
the loan made by Fish.
ION April 6, 1915, Herbert L. Stern
and Lucille Stern, his wife, by war
ranty deed in and for the considera-
ton Of one ~ dollar and love and af-
lection conveyed said real estate to
Edna B. Fish, the wife Of Joseph B.
Fish, which deed Is recorded in Cook
county, in book No. 1897, at page
545, as instrument 5,607,641.
Your petitioner further represents

A UNIVERSITY IN REBELLION

Last June when the trustees of the
University of nnsylvania, without
explanation, dropped Prof. Scot
Nearing from the faculty of the
Wharton school, they treated the in
cident as closed. 1t had just begun.
To the volume of protests against
the attempt to gag professors anil
end academic freedom 500 students
in a body nave added their names at
the opening of the fall session.
The issue raised at the Philadel-
pha institution goes to the very root
Of individual rights and corporation
control. Prof. Nearing was so rash
as to express views outside the class
room too radical for some of the
old-fasnioned Tories by the Della
ware They used their power to
punish him by dismissal, and, rather
than defend their act, adopted the
policy of secrecy and silence. To
other members OF the teaching force
it was warning that they must
keep quiet on certain economic sub
jects or consult the financial inter
ests of the worthy trustees.
1t is not often that any body OF
men like the trustees of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania dares so openly
to exercise the tyranny of the purse
strings in the suppression of free
speech. While they are rid OF Prof.
Nearing, the undertaking has proved
disastrous in more ways than one.
