Wilson has concluded that there is no

Charles Nagel. former secretary of COM

board handling the wage dispute be-

railway employees protest that as trustee
OF the Busch estate of st. Louis, he is
interested in railway securities.
The president came to this conclusion
after conferences with Federal Judge
Martin A. Knapp. chairman OF the fed
eral board of mediation and conciliation
He takes the position that the railroad
employees knew Mr.. Nagel was a trustee
of the Busch estate when he was selected
as an arbitrator and as no protest was
then made. he sees no reason for his
withdrawal when an award Is about to
be made The limit set for the arbitra-
ton proceedings expires today. but the

Denver, Aug. 4.-Judge Ben b.
Lindsey of the Denver juvenile court

by District Judge John A. Perry. Sen
tence vas deferred pending Judge
Lindsey's return from the East.
The contempt case resulted from
the juvenile judges refusal to reveal
on the witness stand what he contend
ed was a confidential conversation
with Neal Wright, twelve years old,
whose testimony in criminal court
had much to do with the acquittal on
June 10 of his mother, Mrs. Berta
Wright, charged with the murder of
her husband.
John A. Wright was shot while
seeking to gain entrance to his home

fed at the trial that he. not his moth
er, fired the fatal shot, and that 1t was
accidental.
The district attorney said that Neal
previously had told a different story
to Judge Lindsey, and the prosecutor
called Lindsey as a witness, but the
latter refused to testify.
