PARTY INSURGENTS
 ARE NOW HARD HIT
Ladd Is Second to Be Taken by Death in
 Few Days

Washington, June 22 R-With the passing of Senator Ladd. the re- publican insurgent bloc in the sen ate suffers its second overwhelming loss within four days.
 By coincidence the death of the North Dako'an occurred on the day of the burial of Senator La Toilette whose policies he had followed on so many occasions. Together they had gone through the 1924 independ- ent campaign against the constituted national ticket of their party, and together they later were read out of the party by the republican organi- ration of the senate.
 Still another member of the dwindling La Toilette bloc, Senator Brookhart of Iowa, has a stubborniy supported election contest pending against him and may be deprived of . senate seat at the next session. The decision Of the senate republican regulars to shear the La Toilette followers Of their committee rank cost Senator Ladd the chairmanship Of one of the most important senate committees. that on public lands as head of which he presided over part of the celebrated Teapot Dome investigation.
 Mr. Laad was regarded by his colleagues as one of the hard work CTS in the senate. His wide knowl- edge of public questions won him respect. and although he did not often take a hand in debate on the floor he had a very active part In the more arduous task Of shaping leslslatiou in committee.
 News Of his death was received with many expressions of regret among those in high pl=es in the government.

 The pair were convicted of killing Policeman Ralph Souders in 1922 and both sentenced to be hanged.
 Grants hair turned gray during his long imprisonment. His lawyer finally asserted that Grants inno- cence had been declared by Kraus- CT, and an appeal to the governor was made. in which petitioners from scores of cities joined. The gover- nor reprleved him.
 Krauser was to be retried this week. Grant, who was 19 years old when charged with murder, and Krauser. where unfriendly in the jail. On Saturday during an exercise period, Krauser produced a pocket knife and stabbed Grant five times in the neck and chest. Krauser was thrust into solitary confinement and Grant was removed to the House of Correction hospital.
 Grahts parents are poor and his father a cripple.
 After the stabbing Grant had reiterated his declarations of inno- cence and expressed the belief that If I get well l expect to walk out of here a free man."
 AS to Krauser he expressed the hope that he would ecape the gall lows.
 When Krauser heard of Grants death, an assistant jailer said he re- marked Tt that SO? We'll, there might be some more that will die soon."

Bernard Grant, With Chance For Pardon Or Commuta- tion of Sentence, Refuses to Permit Surgeons to Operate to Save Life-Accused His Slayer of Mur- der For Which Both Were Arrested.

Chicago. June 22 UR --Bernard Grant. fearful Of the hangman's moose in spite of the efforts of thou sands of persons throughout the country who had signed petitions urging clemency of Governor Len Small, refused today 10 permit phy- sicians to perform an operation in the hope of saving his life, and died thirty minutes later. He was stab bed five times Saturday by Walter Krauser. once sentenced with Grant to hang, but later granted a new trial.
 Grant was very weak from the wounds in his neck and chest and physicians at the House of Correc- ton hospital insisted on blood transfusion.
 "I'll be dead in little while If you'll let me alone," said the wounded prisoner, 50 why prolong my life when It's going to be taken from me anyway"
 Dr. Frank Jirka pleaded. but Grants resistance did not weaken.
 Grant, who insisted he was inno- cent and that Krauser alone was guilty of the killing of Policeman Ralph Souders in holdup in 1922, probably would have been pardoned or his sentence commuted to life imprisonment, had Krauser escaped the gallows at his second trial. which was set for this week.
 Krauser had been granted new trial, but the state supreme court had refused a new trial to Grant. AS a result, Governor Len Small re- prieved Grant twice to await Kraus- CTS second trial. The governor ap- parently agreed with Grants law yers that should Krauser escape death by second trial, 1t would

Hunter was arrested by Police

cording to Ogle, was going through
all the tricks of a "bucking
broncho."
On his promise not to get on the
motorcycle until he had obtained

Hunter.
On returning from lunch the
Judge again was faced by Hunter
who had been arrested again by
Ogle who hadn't obtained his

only way to keep Hunter off his
motorcycle was to put him where
he couldn't mount 1t.
