w. G. SchIecht Must Stay
in Prison While Wife is
Buried Today.
BLAME TECHNICALLY
Prisoners Attorneys Carry APP
peal to Governors Office but
Fail to Secure Writ.

Behind prison bars today, William
Schlecht, defaulting cashier of the
Silverlake State bank, now serving
seven year term in the state prison
for violation Of the banking laws, must
bear the additional sorrow of not be-
ing allowed to leave the prison under
guard to go to Chicago to attend the
funeral services of his wife, Ada Lii
liam Schlecht, who died in Chicago on
Sunday night. Schlecht's attorneys,
Attorney Richard Cavanagh and Judge
Robert Verne Baker, carried on an all
day fight in Madison on Tuesday
in an effort to gain his release under
guard, which release for even day
was finally denied.
The appeal was taken to the board
of control and when that failed an
effort was made to gain an order from
Governor Blaine which would allow
the prisoner to go to Chicago in order
to look on the face of the dead wife,
who had stood by him staunchly
through all the trial and conviction.
Governor Blaine, however, was at Camp
Douglas and his secretary maintain
ed that it was impossible to secure
his Intervention in time for the
funeral services.
Afraid of Technicalities.
The members Of the board Of con-
troll after hearing the appeal made for
the Kenosha county prisoner to be
allowed to attend his wife's funeral
under guard, pointed out that numer-
Gus difficulties might arise from allow
ing the request 1t was maintained
that it, would set a precedent for all
lowing prisoner to cross state line
where it would be possible for others,
even if Schlecht did not take advantage
of it, otvade return to the penal IN
stitution by fighting extradition.
The defaulting banker has been a
model prisoner at Waupun and his
record there was urged by the attor
neys as a reason for his temporary re-
lease at his time of his greatest sor-
row. This argument likewise failed to
gain favorable action from the board
Funeral This Afternoon.
"We were aware of all the technical
ties involved" declared Judge Baker,
"but in a case of such extenuating
circumstances, it seemed that some
action should be possible. We car
ried the fight to the last appeal and
have lost"
The funeral services were to be held
this afternoon at Chicago and will be
carried out as planned. An offer was
made to postpone the obsequies until
a later date if thereby any hope could
be held out that a release under guard
would be granted then. In the abb
sence of this hope, the funeral was
held today as planned
Prison officials stated that every
thing possible would be done in keep
ing with prison regulations to assuage
the sorrow of the defaulting banker,
but that under the conditions it would
be impossible to release him to cross
state lines.

OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR
IN POLITICAL FLOP
Governor ]. C. Walton Breaks With
Farmers League and Plans to
Get Back to Democracy.
(By Associated Press Leased wire,)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.l
Oklahoma City, Okla.-Governor j,
c. Walton's formal announcement that
he will be a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for United States
senator next year, was awaited today
as the next move in the kaleidoscope
events which have wrought COM
plete transformation in Oklahoma poll
tics within the last few days.
DOING an "about face" the executive
has cast aside the Farmer-labor Re-
construction league, the organization
that nominated and elected him on the
Democratic ticket last year. He has
also moved his household to Musko-
gee in the east side of the state,
where legal residence would be re-
ouired by precedent in making the
senatorial race in 1924.
"a council of twelve" composed of
farmer and labor leaders elected by
the governor, has been summoned to
meet on August 1 and assume direc-
ton of the Farmer-labor movement
until such time, the executive explain
ed. as the rank and file may make
their voices heard through duly select
ed representatives
The break with the constructional
league came definitely yesterday when
the governor signed an order remov-
ing two league members of the state
board of agriculture so that George
Wilson could be ousted as president
of Oklahoma A. and NJ college.

DAUGHERTY TO FIGHT
BOYCOTT OF UNIONS
Announces in Chicago That He Will
Bring Criminal Charges Against
Promoters of Boycott

Chicago = En- route today to the
Pacific coast to join President Hard
ing, United States Attorney General
Harry M. Daugherty planned to appear
personally in criminal actions against
San Francisco building material deal
ers and trade associations charged
with conspiracy to boycott union labor
by refusing to furnish materials to
contractors employing organized work
ers. Conferences with interested or
ganization leaders over the Southern
Pacific Central Pacific separation de-
cision of the federal circuit court also
will occupy a large part of Mr.. Daugh-
erty's time in California.
The Acknowledgements declined to re-
veal the names of those against whom
court action might be taken in San
Francisco when he announced his
plans before leaving for the west last
night. He said he had once advised
civic and trades association delegates
from San Francisco that a boycott
against labor is indefensible as boy
colt against industry and he now stood
ready to test that position in the
courts. "The right of the worker to
organize into trade unions for lawful
purposes is as fundamental in Am
erica as the right to vote-and as we'll
supported, in law" the attorney-gen-
eral said. "Any attempt TO infringe
on that right is illegal"
The next move in the litigation in
the Southern Pacific-C Central Pacific
case rests with the government which
has until August Is to decide whether
an appeal shall be taken to the SUI,
preme court on the decision of the St.
Paul federal court of appeals which
uphold the interstate commerce COM
mission decree authorizing the unified
operation of the two systems.

HTS GLASS EYE
DOESN'T HELP
Joseph Vanesic Fined $3.50
and Forty-fve Days at
Hard Labor Besides.
HAD ANOTHER STILL

Joe Vanesic, maker of moonshine of
GO North Congress street, brought for
ward his glass eye this morning in the
municipal court as an extenuating fea-
ture in his case, and pleaded with the
court for leniency.
"Why," he said, 81 can name ten men
as healthy as Frank Symmonds who
are running around making moonshine
and peddling it and why should they
pick on me, a poor man with a glass
eye?
This is the second time this man
was brought in" said the district at
torney 1.-The first time he was fined
$500 and costs, which he paid. He used
to be connected with the European Ho-
tel when it was run by his son-in-law."
''Never!" cried Vanesic, wiping his
glass eye.
You made the moonshine for it,"
retorted Symmonds, land carried it to
the saloon under lettuce leaves. His
son, Frank Vanesic, was fined in this
court for peddling moonshine for Ralph
Moore, and under the Huber law was
placed out to work while he earned the
fine He never paid back more than
$50 of it."
Digs Up a Wedding.
When Judge Slater asked Vanesic if
he had anything to say, Vanesic told
him that he was making moonshine for
his daughters wedding.
Chow much of this stuff was found ?"
asked Judge Slater, turning to Captain
Clausen.
"A 2O-galIon still, coils, 200 gallons
of mash and several gallons of moon
shine" replied the police officer.
THAT must have been made for a
big blowout" whispered Constable
ohm Mcneil of the fourth ward sitting
in the side-lines.
Vanesic was ordered to pay a fine of
$3.50 and costs or four months in the
county Jail, and in addition was or
dered to serve 45 days at hard labor in
the county jail.
Sgt. Frank Schneeberger and Officers
c. Radatz, Vanderwohl and Amberlang

Poultry Shoe, at Stanford

The entry for the Sixteenth Annual
State Poultry Show at Stanford will
probably be larger than at any
prior state poultry exhibition. En-
try No. / was received last week from
A. w. Armstrong of Zortman. Mr..
Armstrong is showing his we'll known
"rich red" Rhode Island Reds. He
lives forty miles from a railroad in
northern Montana and has not ex-
hibited at a state show for several
years. Other entries received since
prove that there is a strong prepon-
derance of new exhibitors coming to
Stanford this year. The breeding of
standard bred poultry has increased
to a wonderful extent in the Stanford
locality particularly and in the Ju-
dith Basin in general. Nearly all of
the standard bred varieties of poul-
try are assured at the state show
from local entries alone. The Judith
Basin territory has exported seven
carloads of turkeys so far this sea-
son, one car going as far east as Bos-
ton. The department of agriculture
reports that indications point to an
entry of 200 turkeys at the Stanford
show.
The junior department of the state
show will be one of the important
features of this years exhibition. This
department is in charge of Miss
