Prison Term Ends
Huge Motor Swindle

CHICAGO, Dec. 23.-Federal
Judge Landis has sentenced Samuel
C. Pandolfo, organizer and head of
the Pan Motor Company, st. Cloud,
Mimi, convicted of using the mails
to defraud, to serve 10 years in fed
eral penitentiary and fined him $4,-
600.
Attorneys for Pandolfo gave no.
tice that his case will be appealed to
the United States circuit court of ap.
peals at once.
The jury found Pandolfo guilty on
four counts on an indictment charg-
ing the use of the United States mails
in a scheme to defraud in mailing let
ters to prospective stockholders mis-
representing the company's progress
and development by stock statesmen.
Along with Pandolfo, other officers
and directors of the Pan Company
were indicted, charged with conspira-
cy to use the mails to defraud, but
Pandolin alone was found guilty.
However, a charge of perjury,
growing out of the trial, still hangs
over H. S. Wigle, one of the acquit-
ted men in the case.

This Man Believes
Doomsday Is Near

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 23.-He'rl
tell the world it's coming to an end.
Leo D. Mullin, property clerk at
police headquarters, says he has
knowledge of an astounding fact, on
which he bases his belief in predic-
tions of a doomsday. 1t is this:
There are more people i'll these days
than ever he knew or heard tell of
before.
Many telephone calls a day ap-
prise Mullin of this widespread i'll
ness. Numerous friends stop him on
the street and inform Mullin of inva-
lids in their hitherto healthy fami-
lies ;of the need of distant relatives
for medical potions. And, strange to
say, all these bearers of bad tidings
invariably end by remarking that it
is in Mullins power to help them to
the panacea for all these human ills.
And they mention the stock of
whisky, confscated in police raids,
which is stored in Mullins property
room.
Mullin says he fears that continu-
ed gloomy predictions of the end of
the world may cause him to fall i'll.

National Guard Plan
Proposed BY Legion

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga pro-
posal by the American Legion that
membership in the National Guard be
permitted as an alternative to univer-
sal military training is receiving Sc
rious consideration in both branches
of congress.
Much opposition to compulsory mil
itary training would be removed if
young men were given chance to
take their training in night drills as
members Of the National Guard, ac-
cording to Legion officials. This plan
cording to its hackers, would mean
night military schools for those who
cannot afford to attend training
