 Federal authorities then started an Sestigation and the two suspects lin were seized. A. D. Germer,s chief 2tai inspector here, said he doubted ether federal authorities could take kon, as no threats were made in the Ter. He expected to confer with Ed Olson, United States district. at hey. 4 .

 By the organization committee re- port, the national committee of the conference was continued in office, di- rected to enlarge it's membership to at least 50 empowered to act as a cam paign committee.

 Specific recommendations for the re- peal of the Esch- -Cummins act, public ownership of railroads and water power and for retention of surtaxes on swollen incomes" were in line with the position taken in Congress by La Toilette and the other republican in surgents. -..
 There was no specific reference to prohibition or the Ku Klux Klan.
 There was a plank, however, for "un- qualified enforcement of the constitu- tional guarantees of freedom of speech press and assemblage."
 Convention leaders emphasized that the movement represented here was concerned with economic issues rather than with questions affecting. personal liberty.
 Just at the close of the convention the organization slapped the com munists again by refusing to entertain resolution which would have favored recognition of the Russian soviet Earlier the delegates approved action of the credentials committee in refus- ing a seat to William Mahoney of St. Paul because of his connection with the national farmer-labor party, formed last month in St. Paul with communistic elements as units therein. This vir- tually read Mahoney out of the con ference organization and cancelled his membership in it's national committee.

GLASGOW LINKED WITH SHORTAGE
 IN CITY FUNDS
Arrested Saturday Night And Released Under
 $3,000 Bond

William H. Glasgow, head of the public improvements funds division of the city comptroller's office, was ar rested Saturday evening on a charge of embezzlement of funds from his de- partment. His bond was fixed at $3 ,000, which he immediately made.
 Glasgow's arrest came as a result of his indictment by the county grand jury during it's meeting last week, ac- cording to. members of the sheriff's de partment. The amount of money that he is alleged to have embedded was not made public Saturday night.
 Solicitor Jim Davis, under whose leadership the grand jury indicted Glas gow, refused to discuss the case with newspapermen. Members of the sherfh's department who made the arrest were unable to name the figure
 It is understood, however, that the amount is not in excess of $2,000.
 Glasgows indictment and subsequent arrest is expected to clear up the cir cumstances surrounding an alleged shortage of more than $7000 in the public improvements funds.
 William M. Lehman, former clerk in the department, is now serving a term in Kilby prison a arsuelt of his plea of guilty to a charge of embezzle- ment of funds from the department. In his confession, however, he reiterated former statements that he took not more than $3,000, and special audit ing committee that examined the books of the department declared that the shortage would top the $7,000 mark.
 Lehman's confession and the report of the auditors resulted in the sec- ond grand jury investigation that brought Glasgow's indictment.
 Continued efforts by some members of the city commission to have a sec ond audit of the books made in an ef- fort to clear up the shortage probably will be stopped by Glascow's arrest. A veritable warfare at commission meet ings frequently has resulted from ar guments as to the advisability of a sec Y1di
