Neglect Of duty by the attorney

appeal to the Indiana appellate court
by Chief Of Police Kline from the
order of Judge Chester r. Mont

court, directing Sheriff Louis b.

apolis by Atty. Stuart MacKibbin.
Soon after Chief Kline filed his
appeal in the appellate court Pros
Atty. Samuel =. Schwartz made ar
engagements with the attorney gem
eral to look after the case for the
defense. Pros Schwartz evidently
overlooked the fact in making his
arrangements with the attorney
general that this state official and
the members Of the Carson admins
tratOn are OF the same political
faith, all being members of the re-
publican party. At any rate Atty.
Nackibbin's visit to indianapolis is
all that prevented the appeal OF
Chief Kline from being won by the

neglect of the attorney general in
representing the defense in the state
court

that there had been no record made

took steps to prevent the defaulting
OF the defense. The courts decision
came Thursday. uphOlding Judge

Chief Kline Is out OF the city and
does not yet know OF the decision OF

FRANKFORT AFFAIR
Continued from page /


Britain, it is thought here, considers il
rather as sort Of elastic basis of settle
ment OF European affairs which is capable
OF divers notifications
!, Conclliation Of these viewpoints will be
the object of tho ensuing conversations
during which France, il is stated. will
probably ask Great Britain whether il
stands for execution of the treaty. IL is
recalled that Articles AZ, 43 and IA of the
Versailles treaty defined actions by Ger
many which might be regarded as cal-
culated to disturb the peace of the world
and 1T is pointed out that such action by
Germany was accomplished when the
Reichswehr penetrated the Ruhr district.
In provision for such violation of the
treaty by Germany, Great Britain and the
United States, through their representa-
tives in Paris, il is noted, agreed in sepa-
rate treaties to support France against the
German menace, but those treaties, it is
recalled, in official circles, are thus far a
dead letter France, it is declared here, is
thus left alone facing Germany, which is
attacking one after another the clauses of
the treaty.
The opinion is expressed in official
circles that while maintenance Of the
entente is the first point on which future
conversations must be based, there ap-
pears to be need of readjustment of the
relations of the Entente powers. The
original understanding having been TO
ward of the menace of aggression by Ger
many, it was continued during the war
with the view of winning the war, but was
never adjusted TO aftor~war conditions
which, IL is asserted here, require more
comprehensive accord
