"HE new teacher who had been in-
 vited to dinner at the Jones house
 looked "a little surprised when Johnnie, aged eight, was allowed to go with his brothers and sisters, who trooped off to the moving pictures.
 Her glance strayed to the big clock on the mantle piece and Johnnles mother, a trifle apologetica!ly, ex- plained that it was lonely for the "baby" of the family and that John nie was movie mad"
 The teacher began to understand why, in spite of the fact that he was an abnormally intelligent child, John- nie frequently spent most of the morn- ing yawning and rubbing his eyes.
 Sleep and food are two of the most important needs of the human body.
 Each has its educational and econo- mical as well as it's physiological and biological aspects.
 While the diet has long received big share of attention from economists, biologists and hygienists, the scientific study of sleep may be said to be in its infancy.
 Sleep, contrary to many opinions, is one of the best means of stimulating the brain. A child who sleeps great deal is not necessarily a stupid, slug sish child. His brain may be never

 By the time he is twelve he does nice ly with nine or ten hours. Though the length of time a child sleeps is less i'm portant than the way he sleeps.
 The child who sleeps restlessly, wax. ing often to call for water or a "bite,' does not get the same good from his sleep as the child who sleeps soundly, relaxed in mind and muscle.

$5OO,OOO LAND FRAUD
lspsslaI . The paIly workerl

WASHINGTON, D. c., April /.
Charges that former Attorney
General Daugherty hampered him
in the prosecution of a conspiracy
case were made to the senate in
vestigating committee today by H.
M. Peck of Oklahoma City.
Peck, who was formerly a United
States District Attorney in Okla
homa, said he was charged with
failure to prosecute the Miller
Brothers, owners of the famous
"1O1 ranch" for conspiracy to de-
fraud the government of 10000
acres of Indian lands.
Altho he telegraphed to Dauah-
erty that lack and Joe Miller were
going to plead guilty to obtaining
the lands fraudulentIy, Peck said
the attorney general wired back i'm
structing him to make no recon-
mendation TO the court.
After the case of the Miller
Brothers had been continued from
time to time on instructions of
Daugherty, Peck said both lack
and Joe Miller pleaded guilty to the
charges and paid fines amounting
to $1,000.
Despite the plea Of guilty to OBJ
tanning the 10000 acres Of Indian
land By fraud, Peek said no suits
have been instituted to recover
shem. The land. he said. was
valued at $50 an acre.

Joint Board Head
Tells Daily Worker
Of Jail Experience

After Morris Bealis, chairman of
the Chicago Joint Board of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union, had deloused himself from
the effects of the night in a filthy
cell Of the East Chicago Avenue po-
lice station, he returned to his duties
at the Offices of the Union at 1928 w.
Van Buren, street.
He told DAILY WORKER re-
porter that Assistant States Attor-
Iney John Sbarln.o began questioning
him roughly but that he refused to
answer any question unless his attor-
ney was present. Sbarbro refused adj
mittance to the attorney, w. G. Rick
ert, who had gotten on the job i'm
mediately.
When Sbarbro heard Rickert was
asking for a habeas corpus writ he
went before Judge Weight and had
the writ returnable the following
morning on the pretext that he want
ed to question Bealis during The
night. The insincerity Of this excuse
is seen by the fact that Bealis was
showed into cell and the door locked
without the detectives attempting to
question him further.
On Bealis' release in court yester-
day morning Groves man began to
buster, saying that the states attor-
ney would hold him (Bealis) person
ally responsible for any union slug
ging. Bealis retorted that the only
smuggling in this strike is by the po-
lice and employers agents.

BEALIS FREED.
WHEN GROVE.
PLOT FAILS
Witnesses Spoiled Frame-Up
Against Strike Official


The states attorneys Office
admitted yesterday that it had
no evidence on which to either
hold or prefer a charge against
Morris Bealis, manager of the
Chicago Joint hoard of the In
ternational Ladies' Garment
Workers Union, in connection
with the alleged shooting at
the home of Nicholas KovIer,
garment manufacturer, last
Saturday.
When Judge Frederick De
Young ordered the states at
torney's men to bring Bealis
into court on a writ of habeas
corpus, States Attorney Robert
Z. Groves dicks admitted they
could not connect him in any
way with the shooting and the
Judge ordered his release.
WITNESSES Refused to Frame Bealis.
The detectives said that they had
arrested Bealis in order to question
MIN and that they were unable to get
any evidence from him. They said
tney also wanted to have him looked
over by persons who claim to have
seen the men who are alleged to have
done the shooting. Two persons who
came to identify Bealis were certain
ne was not the man they saw.
Bealls was arrested Monday noon
IN his office on West Van Buren, St.
and taken to the states attornev's of.
fice for questioning. When the law
yers for Bealis went to Judge De
Young to ask for writ, the states at
torney's men agreed to let him 90
within an hour. They failed to keen
their promise and the union attorney
went to Judge Voight and demanded
habeus corpus writ. Voight made
the writ returnable yesterday at 8 100
a. M, and when the hearing was held
Bealis was ordered released.
Bealis was held in the East Chicago
Ave-, police station from Monday
evening till Tuesday morning.

Detectives who began with brow
beating tactics changed their tune for
the joint board head refused to an

legally held without any criminal
charge against him. Detectives gave
up and did not attempt to use the
usual tactics of the 'gold fish" room
where prisoners are beaten and tor
: tured by applying lighted cigar ends
to the most sensitive parts of their
bodies.

would be tolerated.

Hamon spent a large sum to
nominate the late President
Harding in the hope of getting
the secretaryship of the nation.
Senator Thomas J. Walsh declared
at the senate oil committee hearing
ne expected to prove that a congpira-
cy led to appointment of "a secretary
