GLADYS ELLIS Is
BEHIND BARS AGAIN
indianapolis Girl Must Face Charge
of Staying Prison Matron
Makes Confession.

Indianapolis, Ind. - After one brief
day of liberty, Gladys Ellis, 81, was
again behind prison bars today, charg-
ed with the murder of Miss Louise
Richards, 70, matron at the women's
prison, when the matron attempted to
block her escape.
The girl was captured in taxicab
last night as she was speeding to
keep a rendezvous with her lover be-
fore fleeing from the city.
According to her confession to po-
lice, she had planned her escape for
weeks. She left her cell early Mon
day evening and hid in the matron's
room to get her keys.
Miss Richards entered the room, put
her keys under the pillow and went to
bed. When the matron had apparently
gone to sleep, the girl slipped over to
the bed and got the keys.
She was leaving the room when she
tripped over table and the matron
awoke, and tried to stop her flight.
In the struggle that foil yed the girl
said she struck the matrons with her
heavy bunch of keys and knocked her
unconscious.

M'ADOO GOT 100000
IN TAX REFUND CASE
Candidate for President Declared to
Have interviewed for
Company.

Youngstown, O.-William G. Nc
Adoo, secretary of the treasury in the
Wilson administration, received fee
of 100000 for intervention in tax
refund case of the Republic Iron and
Steel company in 1920, according to a
copyrighted special story published by
the Youngstown indicator today.
According to the story Mr.. McAdoo
was engaged by Chairman John A.
Topping of the Republic just before
the case came to a hearing and af-
fected a compromise with William M.
Williams, then commissioner of in
ternal revenue and members of the
tax revision bonds. Due to this COM
promise it is said the Republic
received a refund of about 100000
Immediately.
Mr. Williams who is a practicing
attorney in Washington, refused to
discuss the case and inquirers at the
treasury department were told that
the officials are unable to locate the
records.
Local officials of the Republic COM
pany maintained silence, saying that
any statements relating, to the COM
pany must be made by Mr., Topping
who at present is on yachting cruise
of Miami, Fla.
A dispatch from Los Angeles says
that William G. McAdoo has no COM
ment to make on Youngstown, Ohio,
reports that he received a fee of
100000 for intervention in tax re-
fund case of the Republic Iron and
Steel company in 1920

Police Foo1v Crime Cle Given In We Letter To HUSBAND
WAUKESHA MOB
BREAKS UP KHAN
Effort to Organize Ku klux klan at
Waukesha Brings Sensation
al Rioting.

Waukesha, Wis. While about
5000 persons stormed outside the
Commercial hotel last night an at
tempted Ku Klux Khan meeting was
broken up inside the hotel.
The hotel is at Five Points, in the
heart of the business district. It's
lights were put out, windows smashed,
doors broken in, the cafeteria, in
which the meeting was attempted
wrecked and its furniture damaged
The meeting was the result of about
two weeks effort to organize Khan
unit here and the scheduled speakers
were said to have been of national
prominence.
Time set for the meeting was at
o'clock. At that time the cafeteria OF
the hotel was jammed to the doors.
When the Khan speaker arose and
announced that a prayer would open
the meeting he was greeted with cat
calls, jeers and bowls. Before he was
able to make himself heard, a man
jumped on table in the center of the
cafeteria and waved an automatic pis-
toll The yells apparently were sig
nal to persons waiting outside, for
about twelve pushed their way through
the broken door of the hotel and with
drawn revolvers announced:
"The meeting is off," At this juno
tion the lights went out, the wires
having been cut, and the three-story
hotel was thrown into darkness. A
concerted rush was made toward the
Khan speakers and organizers. Sym
pathizers shielded them and in the
tumble succeeded in getting them out
through side door and up to the
second floor. There they remained
for about two hours until they were
rescued by men called from Milwau-
kee.
The only actual fight noted occurred
in the crowd outside. It was reported
that a student from Carroll College
made some uncomplimentary remark
about "wops" and that he was attacked
and beaten about the face and head
before being rescued by friends and
hurried out to the college and into a
fraternity house.

PROPAGANDA SHEETS
in LUDENDORFF TRIAL
Judge Orders Sheets Alleged to Have
Been Distributed Kept from
the Public.

Munich.--A ripple of excitement was
caused in court today when propaganda
sheets, presumably directed against DR..
Won Kahr, for several months Bavarian
military dictator, and Gen. Won Loss ow,
commander of the Bavarian Reichs-
wehr, were exhibited at the trial of
Gen. Ludendorff, Adolph Hitler and the
eight other defendants being prosecut-
ed for their connection with the
''putsch" of last November. The sheets,
picked up in the streets during the
night by the authorities, were shown
to the judges, who ordered the military
TO take strenuous measures to prevent
further distribution of anything of the
kind. The principal witness at this
mornings session was DR.. Weber, lead
err of one of Hitler's fascist organiza-
tions, who backed the testimony given
by his chief at the beginning of the
trial yesterday.
In his testimony he declared he was
not guilty of treason and denounced
the conduct of DR.. Won Kahr and Gen.
Won Lossow. Weber in his testimony
today asserted DR.. Won Kahr and Gen.
Won Lossow two days prior to the
puIScn nad personally assured MIN
that they were in full agreement with
the plans of Hitler and Ludendorff. 1t
was after these assurances, he said,
that Hitler's fighting units held "war
conference" and made detailed plans to
start a revolution on November Sth.
The plan included the rounding up of
all the money lenders and dealers in
exchange, herding them into a room
and stripping them of their cash.
1t is expected Gen. Ludendorff will
begin his testimony this afternoon.

SEEK N'ADOO
SIGNERS HERE
|Signers for Democratic
Candidate Rounded up 8
in Last Minute.
''BARKIS UNWILLIN' !"

Prominent Democrats in Kenosha
received a last-minute call Tuesday
to get papers signed for William G.
McAdoo as candidate for president of
the United States on the Democratic
ticket 1t was a last-minute call in
deed for Saturday, March first, is the
last day fixed for the filing of all
presidential nomination papers at the
state capital at Madison.
Judge John c.. Slater, long a lead
ing Democrat in Kenosha county, was
one of those appealed to, but he re-
fused to circulate papers on the
ground that he, as municipal judge,
is "out of politics"
From a cursory survey of the town
from those who sought signatures to
the McAdoo nomination papers, it APP
peared that the Democrats here are
divided as to the merits or chances
of Mr.. Adoo is the coming presiden-
tial campaign.
"He is a good man but hasn't a
ghost of show" said one. II don't
believe he will even be nominated"
"The enormous fee which McAdoo
was alleged to have been promised by
his oil clients has got me guessing
said another. az want to think some
before l sign"
The avowed "wets" among the
Democratic group, declared themselves
strong for AL Smith, and refused to
sign for McAdoo on the ground that
he was too dry.
II think the Democrats would have
the best chance with Senator Reed or
Mr.. Cox of Ohio" said another. al
don't think the Democrats will run the
risk of putting up McAdoo for he will
be target for attack, whether he is
to blame or not"
One person soliciting signatures on
the north side, announced today that
the full quota of signatures for Will
liam G. McAdoo from Kenosha county
had been secured and that the papers
would be sent to Madison today.
II had no trouble at all in getting
signatures" said this solicitor.

Washington, d. c. Attorney
General Daugherty left Washing
ton without announcing whether
he would resign from the cabinet.
He boarded an afternoon west
bound train after his second con-
ference of the day with President
Coolidge.
The greatest secrecy was OBJ
served at the department of justice
in connection with his departure.
His secretary refused to confirm
or deny reports of his departure
1t was stated officially that the
attorney general had not resigned,
and that his resignation had not
been requested.
Mr.. Daugherty's sudden Depart
ure created general surprise in Of
fetal Washington which had been
prepared by the developments of
the past twenty-four hours for,
some definite statement from the
attorney general as to his inten-
tiOns.
1t was apparent that the pres
sure upon the White House had
been increased by senate leaders
who want Mr.. Daugherty sent
back to private life as soon as pos
sible.
The course adopted by the at
torpey general, however, was ac-
cepted as indicating that he was
resisting with great vigor the at
tempt to read him out of plh'ic
life.
Immediately after Mr. Daugherty
had left Washington. Senator Will
lis of Ohio, one of the very few
Republican senators who have pub
licly approved of the attorney gem
erals refusal to resign, was CALI
ed to the White House.
The president also conferred
again during the afternoon with
Paul Rowland of Cleveland, who
acted as Mr.. Daugherty's attorney
during the impeachment proceed
ings against him year ago.

Man Seeking Wife Here Recognized as Former
North-woods Moonshiner When State :
Raiding Officers Arrive.
NOW TELLS POLICE WHOLE STORY
Stafford Produces Letter from Wife in Which She Men
tons Another Man - Mystery of Disappear ),
ance Deepens Police Probe.
BULLETIN.


Just after the noon hour today
Lieut.. Rock and Secretary Meiss-
ner arrested Mrs. Elsie Stafford and
her alleged paramount, Edward Col
var. Mrs. Stafford all the while
she was sending her husband, Lee
Stafford, of Grand View, Wis.,,
''sOb-story'' kilograms and letters
of how she had left "him," was

var COlyar is widower with
five children; Mrs. Stafford the
mother of eight. Stafford, who has
been in KenOsha since Monday
morning was in the police Office
this afternoon when the pair were
brought in. They were arrested
on a serious statutory charge.
Lee Stafford of Grand View, Wis,
here in quest of his wife, is former
moonshiner, according to state dry
officers, and his wife whom he is so
anxiously seeking, ran away with an
other man.
This was the light thrown upon the
strange case upon which the police
have been working for the last three
days. The state dry officers, swooping
down upon Kenosha in liquor raids
Tuesday, helped the police partially
solve another kind of problem in the
recognition of Stafford
"Why we raided Stafford once, and
got the stuff, too," said one of the
prohibition enforcement men as he
took keen look at the lonely husband.
"His wife ran away from him, going
off with another man. Come, Stafford,
tell the police the whole story"
BY this time the police had been
convinced that there was something
that Stafford was concealing from them.
He insisted that he had not quarreled
with his wife and that she had left
home about the first of February to
seek medical care. He told of fam
lily of "only" eight children, ranging
from four to fourteen years of age,
and of receiving kilograms and. letters
from his wife from Kenosha, and yet
he had not been given her address
here.
When the "cat was let out of the
bag" by the state prohibition men,
Stafford admitted that his wife had left
him for another. He admitted also

Around him were a. lot of men, welt

faced by this confraternity of his own
sex, the little man wept.
The tears did not come at once
They came suddenly in an uprush OF
emotion, as the man described ito the
Judge married life as he saw it.
"There isn't any decent living in the

our place. But worse yet, it's so bad
in the house that it's not fit place to
live in"
On the witness stand elbow to elbow
with the judge sat young woman,
heavy and sodden in appearances. One
eye was so swollen and black that its
owner could scarcely see out of it, and
this black eye had been given her by
ther husband.
"What were those bills for that you
speak OFF, asked the judge.
Meat, groceries, candy and what
not"
"Well you don't suppose your wife
peddles this stuff around do you? She
must use it at home"
Heaven knows there's nothing to
show for it on our table," said the
man.

on, "some woman would come and

you it's dirty. I'd rather sleep on
my bunk in the fire department at the
factory -"
He put up his handkerchief and
the tears flowed. The men about, who
would rather be fogged themselves
than present such front to the world,
looked at him in establishment.
Some" said the judge, stop this
crying. You're the man who has CIV

thing only a coward will do. You are
charged with assault upon your wife.
Under the law can fine you 500 and

''Thank you, I'll take the six
MONTHS" said the man with alacrity,
as he stepped down from the PLATFORM
as if relieved.
"Come back here! You aren't SEN
fenced yet"
'I'd rather go to prison five years
and work there than live with this
woman" said Johnovicz. "My folks
weren't dirty. I'm not used to it."
twenty-five dollars and costs or

this county for a period of thirty

.KOL0SKI TRIES
ACOURT COMEDY
Mike KOlOski Makes a Joke
of Appearance in NUM-
cipal Court.
LIQUOR MEN ANSWER
All Plead Not Guilty; Some
Surly, Some Facetious, and
Some Matter-of-Fact.

Mike Koloski, 833 Newell street,
mayor of Anderson's Park" came in
to the municipal court this morning
acting as if the scene had just risen on
a first class farce and he was starring
in the role of stage hero. He threw
his hat upon the table with an indie
scribable swagger and swore a round
oath which won an admiring litter
from the liquor men back in the gal
lery which filled every available seat
and standing-room beyond the wooden
rail-
Koloski couldn't understand how
as a person who had had liquor in his
possession, and altogether his manner
was Of swagger, bravado and of light
regard for the court which passed
without a reprimand.
The man, however, when arraigned
did not have the anxiety for speedy
Justice" that is customary with the in
nocent accused.
When the case of the state VS.. Ko-
loski was called, woman rose in the
audience apparently anxious. to be the
defendant.
Go home" said Assistant Chief
Cyzak, 1--WE don't want .you.ssTell Mike
to come here"
az don't hold license for that
block" cried Koloski when he finally
came in the courtroom before the
judge and introduced his personality
with an oath. "They got it in the
back room; 'spose they got it in the
garage. Say listen, what then ?"
"Do you want an adjournment ~
asked the judge.
ooh, a couple months" was the af-
fable answer. Again came the laugh
ter from the audience, and Koloski
was still the center of the stage.
He was ordered to answer week
from next Friday.
ooh, that's too soon, judge!"
"What are you worrying about if
you're not guilty. asked Judge
Slater.
All Plead Not Guilty.
All of the liquor men who were
raided Tuesday during the noon hour
by state prohibition officers, came into
court this morning and entered plea
of not guilty. All had appeared before
1880 a. m. except VIM. Bloxdorf who
did not answer although his case was
called several times. His place was
one of those raided Tuesday. The po-
lice found beer and wine at his prem
Uses.
Albert Zalubowski, 261 North How
land avenue, instead of being facetious
like Koloski, was decidedly surly. He
was charged with possession of home
brew and wine.
"Try to pull man for nothing, "
he said angrily. "Some good-looking
outfit! Them guys get home-brew in
the restaurant. He don't cut no ice
selling It'll"
His case was continued until We'd
nesday at nine a. m. Bonds $500.
