EASTERN STATES
SUPPORT OLD AGE
PENSION MOVEMENT
Bills for Passage of Measure as
Law to Be Pushed in
Legislatures.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia two day
conference Of the Old Age Pension
Commission Of tho Fraternal Order
Of Eagles ended with the adoption
Of resolutions commenting the
passage of legislation in every state
which would grant a pension Of 81
a day TO every person Of seventy
years or over whose income does
not exceed $500 a year.
The conference, presided over by
Frank +. Herring. national chairman
of lie commission, of South Be-,
Ind. went on record TO have the
pension bills introduced in all le-
gislatures in the eastern states ear
" next year. Another conference,
that Of representatives Of Middle
Western states Will be called for
late this month IN Chicago.
The states represented at the
conference were New York. Penn
sylvau!a, Rhode Island, Connecti-
cut New Jersey and Massachusetts.
Representative-ele T. II. La
Guardia appeared for New York:
former Representative Thomas L.
Reilley, Connecticut; former Judge
William J. Brennan and John
O'TOolc, Pennsylvania: John Fitz-
gerald Democratic leader of Rhode g
Island. represented that state, and
John Boil, City treasurer Of STAN
ford, appeared for Connecticut.
The opinion Of delegates was that
State pensions were the only method
for relieving old age dependency. all
other agencies, according to the
commission, having failed. The dele
gates believed it was unjust TO COM
pei workers, irrespective Of sex, to
close his or her life as A pauper IN
an aImhouse or other State institu-
ton.
From an economic point OF view,
It was argued, the payment OF 81
day TO all persons Of good char
acter and over the age Of seventy
years actually would be less expen-
sive than the up-l1eep OF the poor
houses themselves.

MISHAWAKAN Is
CAUGHT BY COP
IN LONG G HASE
Impossible to r evok e Sus.
pended Sentence Because
of Technical Error.

A technical and apparently incOn-
sequential oversight on a court doc
ket Wednesday saved an alleged
"bootlegger'' n commitment in the
county Jail.
Leo Hallaert, 701 s. West St,
Mishawaka, came before City Judge
DuComb following his arrest We'd
nesday morning after a running
chase by him and Traffic officer Ed.
Mccormick through downtown al
leys. He carried a gallon container
filled with "moonshipe" whisky.
Freed by Oversight"
In court. Hallaert admitted a for
mer conviction before Judge John
Raab OF the Mishawaka city court.
The latter was reached by teleThone
and explained that the defendant
had been given a 6O-day jail SEN
tenCe eight months ago, but that his
failure TO make the suspension a
condition or good behavior placed
Hallaert beyond the jurisdiction Of
the court on his second offense.
a third arrest for violation of liq-
uor laws VIII probably go harder
for Hallaert, however. a fine Of 500
and costs. was ordered paid and a
six months penal farm sentence sus-
pended.
The oversight, as Judge Raab Is
said TO explain II, came at a time
when he first started 70 follow the
lead Of The local magistrate in sus-
pended Jail sentences. During an ab-
sence OF Judge DuComb and the ap-
pointment OF a local attorney FRO
tenn, the same error was commit
ted and modest Kowenberg escaped
serving out a Jail sentence. on Kow-
enberg's second appearance before
the lCca1 court, his attorney raised
the point OF an error on the docket
Caught,After Chase.
This error. one OF omission. II IS
explained. consists of the require
ment OF condition upon the defen-
dant and the lone word suspended"
is insufficient to permit a revocation
Of sentence.
Thus a suspended jail sentence. as
IN Hallaert's case, requires the rec
