Communist Takes
Up Challenge of
Socialist Lawyer

Over four hundred workers gathered
to listen to Nat Kaplan and Al Schaap
at one of the numerous open air
street meetings held on the corner
of w. Division st. and N. Washtenaw,
and cheered the Communists when
they gave a verbal blow to an OBJ
streperous socialist lawyer who con.
tinued to assert his ignorance.
TIE socialist stated that he was now
for LaFollette and against the dicta-
torship of he proletariat and when
he asked Comrade Schaap about this,
the answer given to him caused the
crowd to demonstrate their approval
of the Communist position.

PARTNER FOUND
FOR C. c. DAWES
IN CLEVELAND
Is Bird of Same Stripe
and Also Out Of Jail
BY HARVEY o'coNNoR.

Federated Press staff correspondent.)
CLEVELAND, Sept. 24-Here's a
partner for General He'll n Maria
Dawes. His name is M. A. Vinson
and he was secretary for the Municipal
Savings and Loan Co., which went to
the wall in an $1S,OOO,O0O crash this
year. vinson is charged with species
of financial jugglery, with which
Dawes is familiar, known as check
kiting. Here's how it works.
At the end of 1923 the Muny com
pany fell far short of having the
needed cash balance to show govern
ment authorities. Enter a check for
$139,5OO from the Representative
Realty Co., which gave the Muny's
books healthy appearance.
is On Trial.
Then, on January there is an
other entry, the Muny company hav-
ing written a check for $4,000 and
given it the Representative Realty
Co. Now secretary Vinson is on trial
here for perjury in connection with
the check kiting.
Will he go to the penitentiary?
Well, Gen. Dawes is still at large,
isn't he? And the Illinois supreme
court held him liable for the phony
Lorimer deposit which fooled the bank
examiner.

HANGING HAS ECONOMIC
INTERPRETATION, TEXAN
SHERIFF'S MEET SHOWS

FIT. WORTH, Tex, Sept. 24.-The
Sheriff's Association Of Texas, in
convention at TT. Worth, is on rec
ord against eIectrocution. It is pic
tured as horrible affair. Lest the
reader jump to the conclusion that
Texas sheriffs have gone soft let it
be said that they favor allowing
themselves as county officials to
hang their victims. The sheriff Of
a county gets $50 for each man he
hangs. He gets nothing when the
pententiary warden throws on the
juice.
