EXPECT PARDON
FOR JOHN D|ETz
Man of Cameron Dam Fame Likely
To Be Set Free ShOrtly-GOv-
ernOr Hears Case.

Madison, Wis, May 5. - Omitted
Press. Friends of John Dietz Of
Cameron Dam fame today believed
he would be free within few days.
Dietz. who has been a prisoner
for many years, was convicted of
murder when he and his family
barricaded themselves in their log
cabin at Cameron Dam and held off
sheriff's posse.
Claims were made by Dietz's
friends that sufficient proof was
never presented to show that Dietz
was the actual slayer. They con-
tended that members of the posse
were killed by bullets fired by their
companions.
An effort has been made to OBJ
tain Dietz's pardon from every gov
ernor of Wisconsin since his con-
viction. The case was bitterly
fought in the courts. Dietz con-
Quoted his own trial, unable to hire
lawyers because of lack of funds.
Governor John Blaine, who be-
came the chief executive Of Wiscon-
sin last January, concluded hear
ing today on the Dietz application
! for pardon. The attitude of the
governor and his manner Of Ques-
tioning witnesses was the basis for
the opinion expressed by Dietz's
friends that the pardon would be
| forthcoming shortly.

Washington, May 5.-Represen-

q settlement of the shipping wage

the conference would not be held

this time by federal mediation. At
the department of labor it was
said that some of the representa-

Gently sent a young Greek officer
to the United States with q large
emerald brooch with instructions
to dispose OF it at the highest
price.
The young man was dressed in
civilian clothes and served as a
mate on the steamer, which was
the King Alexander. Upon arriv-
ing in New York he failed to de-
clare the jewel, and he was ar
rested and imprisoned for 20 days.
He was also fined $500, which was
the foreign value put on brooch by
the customs authorities. The cap
tain of the vessel also was penal
lied for failing properly to ac-
quaint passengers with American
customs requirements.
The brooch, which had been in
the family Of the Greek dowager
for a century, was confiscated at
the New York customs house, and
according to Paris stories, Queen
Olga is now trying to find some
means of retrieving it. Anti-roy-
alists in Greece assert that the
whole Greek royal family, COM
prising the king and queen, seven
princes and about thirty princess
es, are feeling the effect of the
economic distress in Greece.
Several weeks ago officials Of the
United States customs service in
New York seized a lavaliere. with
an emerald studded pendant
brooch, which they found in the
possession of an electrician on
board the steamship King Alexan-
Ger. The jewel was appraised as
having a value of more than $1,000,
and it is still in the possession of
the government. The customs Off
GERS have disclaimed any knowl-
edge of the history Of the jewel or
identity of its owner. The seizure
was made on a charge Of attempt
cd smuggling.

T0.J0BlESS
Labor Secretary Suggests
Remedy for Unemploy-
ment Situation.

Cincinnati, May 5.-Development
OF public work throughout the
United States as a remedy for the
present unemployment situation
was urged here today by Frank
Morrison, secretary Of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, in a
statement at the opening of the
Today session of the federation's
executive council.
There are at least 1000 900
workers out Of employment" he
said, land conditions are showing
no improvement. Many of these
men could be put to work on ma
tional, city, county and state pub
lie works. When the nation is en-
soying prosperity it is not the time
to develop public work. The time
for public improvement is an in
dustrial lull, such as we are ex-
