CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-William Bross
Lloyd, millionaire radical, and six as.
! sociates were released tonight from
Joliet Penitentiary, where they were
serving sentences of from one to Ave
years each for violation Of the Illinois
anti-syndiealis laws. They were re.
| leased as result of blanket pardon
| issued to-day by Governor Len Small
| for the seventeen men now in Jail, ter
Of them in the Cook County jail, con
| victed in this case.
| Lloyd and tifirty-nine members OF
the Communist party were indicted ir
March, 1921, for conspiring. Seventeen
including Lloyd, were convicted and
| sentenced. 1t was charged in the in
dictment that Lloyd and his associates
had advocated violence in the over
throw of the government and commit
ted acts tending to hinder this country
in its preparations.
Governor Small in a formal state
ment, said he commuted the sentence
| Of Lloyd and his associates because
| he was in full accord with the dissenting
opinion written by Judge Carter, os
the Illinois Supreme Court. The court
upheld the decision of the Cook County
Criminal Court in sentencing the rad
icals. Justice c. Ter in his dissent
| ing opinion said uAcre was a question
whether the punishment by imprison-
ment was constitutional and whether
it would be the best way, from a pub
| lie standpoint, to counteract the tend
ency of their views.
Deprived of Rights"
He stated further that it was OBJ
yious to any persons that tile doctrines
advocated in the documents admitted
in evidence against Lloyd and his as
sociates were both unstatesmanlike and
unwise and frequently were foolish
"But it seems to me-" says his opinion
"that many Of such statements, under
the law as it was known to exist prioi
to the great war, would not have been
considered unconstitutional. The peo,
pie cannot fail to believe that they are
deprived of their rights and will be
certain to become discontented when
their discussion of public measures is
sought to be circumscribed by the
judgment Of others"

Calder Urged
AS Collector of
New York Port
Mott and Fish Head Faction
of States Delegation i'm
the House Filing Formal
Petition of Nomination
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2s.--W William NJ.
Calder was urged for Collector of the
Port of New York in petition circu-
lated among New York Republicans in
the House to-da. by Representatives
Luther w. Mott, Of Oswego, and Ham
ilton Fish. Senator Calders friends
are urging him for the post, it was
learned, with a view to retaining him
actively in New York Republican poll
tics. Success of the present plan, some
of them asserted frankly in the House,
would make Calder recognized leader
OF the party.
Senator Wadsworth, National Com
mitteeman Hilles and many of the
members Of the House had indorsed
Phil Elting, and it was learned tonight
that Wadsworth and Hilles would
stand pat on their Recommendation.
So, as the situation stands tonight,
President Harding will have to decide
between what might be called the Wads-
worth-Hilles faction and the Calder
Mott faction Of the Empire State Re-
publicans.
Seeks to Aid Party
Although defeated in the recent cleo
ton, Senator Calder is not one of the
lame ducks who needs to be taken
care Oh Dy ghe party. lie IS not inter-
ested, his friends said to-day, in the
salary of the post of Collector of New
York, but merely desires to keep in
touch with the party's activities.
Some of the Republican members of
the House who have never aligned
themselves with the Calder-Mott fac
tion declared rather heatedly to-day
that Calder was seeking to be boss
of New York State and that what he
really was interested in was the dis
tribution of the patronage Of the Col
lector's Office SO as to enhance his
political power.
This row between the adherents of
Senator Calder, headed in the House OF
Representatives chiefly by Representa-
tive Mott, and of their opponents, who
have more or less insisted on ra1lying
round Senator Wadsworth, sometimes
more or less to his embarrassment, has
been brewing since the first entry Of
Calder in the Senate.
Senator Calder has always taken a
keen interest in the various fights i'm
side the New York Republican delega-
tion in the House of Representatives,
Both Calder and his opponents have
regarded the stakes fought for in
Washington as mere markers in the
larger game, the success Of which
would determine who is TO fill the long
empty shoes of the late Tom PIatt.

day that he was stanch advo-
cate Of the ship subsidy bills and
was surprised" that the measure

PersAing said in statement
which will appear in "The Omaha

that time we were unable to
transport our armies to che thea
ter Of war. We were dependent
upon foreign ships. I cannot but
hope that we shall never be found
in similar position again.
The General expressed the opin-
ion that the United States should,
within the bounds of the naval

Fro,n a sto0 oorrespo,,dsn,


NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Nov. %
A temporary exodus of the Hall fam
lily is imminent, now that the Somerset
County Grand Jury has failed to find
an Indictment.
1t was learned to-day from reliable
source that Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall
will leave shortly for a long rest and
probably will go abroad until the ex-
citement created by the murder of her
husband, the Rev. Edward w. Hall and
Mrs. Eleanor r. Mills has died down
Henry Stevens, of Lavalette, and T,
Edwin Carpenter will go duck shooting
in North Carolina. On their return Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Stevens are scheduled d
to start on a world tour which was
postponed until the grand jury met to
investigate the murders.
Since the state has failed in its at
tempts to fasten the blame on any one,
Mrs. Hall intends to conduct vigor-
GUS investigation of her own through
her attorney, Timothy Newell pfeiffer.
A statement issued on her behalf to-
day was as follows: $50 far as Mrs.
Halls attitude toward this case is con-
cerned, she by no means considers it
at an end. She will continue her in
vestigation cf the crime with renewed
vigor."
Wants Mystery Solved
When reminded that Mrs. Hall once
told reporters in an interview that she
had no desire to see any one punished,
Mr.. Pfeiffer said that this was not
actually. SO, but that her wording had
been unfortunate and had conveyed the
wrong impression. She will pursue the
investigation with keen intent and a
general campaign is being mapped out
now.
Mrs. Hall refused to see reporters
to-day or to make any direct state
ment, but decided change was visible
At o'clock, just as dusk was falling,
the rector's widow went out driving
in her sedan. The windows were un-
curtained and she went to the, station
with Mr.. Pfeiffer, seemingly Indifferent
to the staring eyes of the townspeo-
pie. In spite of appearane, she is
known to have suffered keenly through
the eleven weeks of suspicion and to
have lost much weight. Flowers and
kilograms of congratulations kept ar
irving at the Hall home all day. AL
though her victory was moral one
and her vindication was ever an un-
official charge, she is regarded as a
woman who has virtually been ac-
quilted of crime.
Feels Herself Vindicated
Her own feeling in the matter, it
was learned from one close to her, ,8is
simply that she was glad her word had
overridden Mrs. Gibson's in the esti-
nation of the grand jury. She is not
interested in. public opinion or the
sentiment created by the newspapers,
it is said, but rejoices in the findings
of the grand Jury as vindication Of
the attitude she has taken in this case.
Mr.. Pfeiffer to-day explained his
action in taking Mrs. Hall to Somer-
vile yesterday and demanding hear
ing for her. He wanted to do every
thing possible, he said, to convince
the grand jury of Mrs. Halls good
faith in asking to be heard. He wanted
her to be at hand in case the jurors

TAKING TIE PEP OUT OF
HISTORY

Confound the luck! here we are
of our cherished history, for now we
are told that Queen Isabella never
hooked her jewels to finance the dis
covery OF America. Yale history pro-
| fessors who are supervising the max
| ing Of movie on the subject say she
didn't and that seems to settle it. They
say she offered to pledge her gems
| but Columbus said he would take the
viii for the deed since NJ. A. Pinzon,
Spanish gentleman with a specula
tive turn of mind, had already offered
to take up all the undisposed of stock
They don't seem to know how the
error started since there are no Span
ish dailies of that day now extant.
Presumably tho &eporter assigned to
the STORY" took it over the phone
and got the facts muddled in that
way.
Probably Wen have to take the pro-
fessors' word for it because we can't
prove that Isabella actually did pawn
her diamonds. We just like to believe
she did.
II seems as though the professors
miRht engage in better business than
quitting all the interesting things out
of history. They've already clouded
the George Washington Ratchet and
cherry tree story with doubt. Next
| they will tell us that Alexander never
sat on a mountain top and cried be-
cause there were no more worlds to
conquer and that Alfred, that good
| old Saxon king, didn't let the cakes
burn in the peasants cottage and
wasn't scolded for it by his hostess.
Let them do it. Let them keep on
until history is pared down to nothing
but dry as dust facts and see what
will happen. Nobody will want to
study history any more. Then where
will they be at?
