Another Trial
On Fraud Charge
Attorney General Will Oppose
Release Of Alleged Bank
Wrecker on Technical
ity Allowed by Court.

Lincoln, July 20.-(Special.) y
Baked in one attempt to send Ray
A. Lower, alleged wrecker of the
Valparaiso State bank, to state
prison, by the supreme courts action
in annulling the first complaint on
which Lower was convicted on a
technicality, Attorney General Clar-
ence A. Davis announced today that
his Office would start prosecution
again on other counts charged
against Lower.
"There are % different counts
pending against Lower, relative to
his acts as cashier of the Valparaiso
State bank and the state can select
any one of them as the basis of its
cases." Davis said.
Still Subject to Prosecution.
Lower was allowed to plead in
the former trial to a charge of loan
ing the banks funds to himSelf; but
there are other counts involving em-
bezzlement and falsifying. records to
the state banking bureau, for which
heavier penalties are provided He,
is subject to prosecution on any or
all of these and we do not intend to
let him go free on technicality."

complaint today because it
was signed by the late Cecil F. Law
erty as assistant attorney general

the name of Attorney General Davis
should have been signed to it. The

such an information is a nullity,"
the opinion reads.

Union Mob Drives
Lap Workers From
Fields on Coast
Lease Holders in California
Melon and Fruit Region
Are Not Molested by
Crowd

Turlock. Cal, July 20-A genera
exodus OF Japanese field laborer'
and their families from this distric1
is taking place today following the
deportation to Keyes, five mile:
north, OF 50 Japanese male workers
by members of union of fruit and
melon pickers, the authorities an
nounced. The union is composed
principally of white itinerants.
Japanese here who witnessed the
enforced departure of their country
men complained to the police that
they were roughly handled and in
some instances were robbed.
The Japanese lease holders were
not disturbed.
Threatened Violence.
The authorities said that the men,
bers of the mob, which numbered
about IS, threatened to burn one Jap
anese hotel and two japanese bunk
houses i'll order to hasten the de-
parture of their occupants.
Fifteen Japanese were taken from
the Gerard ranch near town and the
remainder from various other prop
critics. The police expected to arrest
some of the mob leaders today.
The Japanese leaving today are
going i'll all directions, but the great
er number are headed for Stockton,
Keyes and Modesto.
The police were notified that a
number of Japanese taken to Keyes
by mob were placed on board a
northbound freight train which was
tagged. The Japanese submitted
in most instances without even
protest.
Were Contract Workers.
The japanese had been brought
into the district under a contract to
pick the fruit and melon crop. They
were being paid 10 cents a crate,
whereas white workers were get
ting Is and 26 cents, and this is
given as the principal cause of the
trouble.
The deportation followed few
days similar deportation of Jap
anese workers from the Livingston,
Merced county, fruit district. In
the former instance, however, the
farmers of the Livingston region
were held to be responsible, for the
enforced departure of the Japs.
The mob worked silently and was
aided to some extent by the full
moon. The Japanese were aroused
and given a certain time in which to
dress and collect their belongings
and were then ordered onto motor
trucks and driven away. Wives and
children of the deportees were not
molested.
The act of the mob followed a
protest to the Turlock Chamber of
Commerce yesterday by the Fruit
and Melon Pickers' union and the
refusal of the chamber to pass a
resolution upholding the protest.
The chamber issued statement,
however, criticizing white farmers
who brought Japanese workrs into
the district.

Soviet Agent
Is Arrested on
Three Charges
Scheme to Push Recognition
OF Russian Government
Revealed by Action of
U. S. Authorities.

Chicago, July 20.-The arrest by
federal authorities OF Max Schall-
mann, an agent of Russia, and the
action of United States Commission
er Glass in holding him to the grand
jury in bond of $1,000 for violation
of the espionage act, is believed to
have uncovered deals in which in
huential business men of Detroit
Cincinnati, Chicago and other cities
are said to have urged their congress-
men and senators to hasten recogni-
ton by the United States of the
soviet government so that contracts
totaling $450,0O0,000 could be con-
summated with Russia through
Schallmann.
Schallmann, who is said to have
been arrested as he was about to
leave for Russia, has admitted, gov
ernment officials say, that he repre-
sented himself as an agent for Rus
sia. There are three charges against
him, one for representing himself as.
the agent of a foreign country, de-
manding things of value and acting
as agent of a foreign government
without first registering as such at
the Office of the secretary of state.
Each of these charges is violation
of the espionage act.
Some of the business men thus
approached even went direct to
President Harding and Secretary OF
State Hughes with their appeals for
recognition of the soviet government.
Among the companies with which
Schallmann dealt is said to have
been the United States Motor Truck
company of Cincinnati, where con-
tract for $90,000,0O0 OF trucks were
made. it is alleged. With the Charles
Lapidus company of Chicago. $780,
900 worth of overcoats, it is said,
were contracted for while $l5,000,-
600 contract is said to have been
made with the Mutual Tailoring
company, also of Chicago
Also the supposed soviet agent is
alleged to have planned the pur-
chase of extensive warehouse facili-
ties in Chicago and elsewhere, his
projects even extending to the pur-
chase OF certain railroad and canal
rights.
Schallmann's attorney, who ap-
peared with Schallmam in federal
court, said Schallmann was in close
touch with Lenine and Trotzky and
is bona fide representative OF the
soviet. His only mistake, accord
ing to the attorney. was that he
failed to register.

Indicted
Lieutenant Governor and

Charged With Embezzle.
ment and Conspiracy.
Bonds Fixed at $4,000

Chicago Tribune Omaha Zee Leased Wire.
Springfield, Ill.,, July 20.-Governor
Small, Lieut.. Gov. Fred Z. Sterling
and Verne +. Curtis of Grant Park
were indicted today by the Sanga-
mon county grand jury for con-
spiracy and embazzlement in con-
nection with the interest earnings of
the state treasurers office during the
terms of Small and Sterling.
The true bills were returned be-
fore Judge Ebert E. Smith Of the
circuit court of Sangamm county.
An indictment is returned against
Small for embezzlement of $5OO.0OO
while state treasurer.
One is against Sterling for $700, 900
for cmbiezzlemcnt and a third is
against Small, Sterling and Curtis
for embezzlement of 100000.
Another indictment for conspiracy
to defraud and confidence game runs
against Small, Sterling and Curtis.
Bonds of all three were fixed at
$50000 on each count.
The indictment for conspiracy and
confidence games charges that the
three obtained divers grants, war
rants, vouchers and documents to
the amount of $2.00O,000."
Hinges on Packer Loans.
The investigation hinges on the
$10,000,000 loan of state funds to Ar
mour & Co. and Swift & 60. This
loan, it was said. was made through
the Grant Park bank, all institution
operated by the late Senator E. c.
Curtis, close friend and political col
league of Governor Small for many
years.
Attorney General Brundage and
his aides, it is said. have attempted
to show that the Grant Park bank
existed only on paper, charter
granted many years ago to Alonzo
Curtis, father of the late senator.
Interest on the $l0,000,000. amount
ing to 2 per cent, was paid to the
state during the terms of Governor
Small and Lieutenant Governor
Sterling as state treasurer of Illinois.
The packers notes are said to have
drawn ] and s per cent interest.
1t is the difference in interest earn
ings that was said to be the crux
of the investigation.
Under the treasury law in opera
ton when Small and Sterling were
in Office, the state treasurer was re.
quired to earn. at least 2 per cent
on state funds loaned. This law
was changed and State Treasurer
Miller is obliged to loan state money
to the best bidder.
Bank Out of Existence.
The Grant Park bank. phantom
or real, went out OF existence last
January. when the new state bank
law went into effect
"lf the bank. at the time the loans
were made, was legitimate insti-
tuition why was such an obscure es-,
tablishment selected as the deposi-
tory for such huge sum as Sl0.-
100000. and if the then treasurer.
Len Small. was serving the inter-
ests of the people, why did the
money earn only 2 per cent for the
state. although it was secured by
notes bearing and 8 per cent?
