Local dealers say the popular
taste for cold drinks and for fresh

fires since yesterday.

still raging in northern Ontario along
the north shore of Lake Superior, near
Port Arthur and Fort William.
Lumber companies in Ontario have
full forces out. Officials of the Domin-

were AZ separate fires in the Lac du
Bonnet district of Manitoba, but that
most of them had been mastered by
the speedy arrival of seaplanes, which
carried fire fighters from one danger
point to another. A dangerous fire
was burning in the Netley Lake dis
trict in Manitoba, according to re-
ports from Petersfeld. Trains were
reported held up by the intense heat.

SALE Of PAROLES
IN JOLIET CHARGED
Warden Reported to Have
Declared Only Money or
Pull Would Work.

| By tho Associated Press
! CHICAGO. May 1S-The Chicago
! Tribune today published statements
attributed to John l.. Whitman, war
! den of the State penitentiary. in his
! testimony before the special crime
grand jury here Yesterday that it was
common talk among prisoners that
only money or political influence
would get them out.
The warden was quoted as relating
specific instances. in one of which a
convict escaped over the prison wall
/ leaving note stating that he had
| given $500 to man who had promised
! to obtain parole.
I'm being doube-crossed," he
wrote. I'm not getting out. I want
to see the governor and find out why
my case was not considered. AS soon
as l do that I'm coming back
Came Back to Prison.
And that man came back to prison.
| Warden Whitman said. and strangely
enough. the convict was mistaken, for
his case had been favorably passed
upon by the parole board.
In another instance. the warden
said. a convict told him that he had
been honest during his Incarceration,
had played the game square, as he
put it. but had found that it did him
no good. so he raised S400. Soon there
after the man was paroled. the warden
said.
Warden Whitman was quoted as
saying that Peter Klein. deputy war
den. slain by seven escaping convictS
on May 5 in the new prison, had once
been discharged by former Warden
Murphy. Whitman said he protested
the mans reappointment. Discipline
| recently had broken down in the
| new prison. where Klein held sway.
| the warden said.
Says He Was Ignored.
Warden Whitman also was quoted
| as saving that the parole board
| ignored his presence and advice at its
meetings. that he was never con-
suited as to the boards actions. Maj.
T! NJ. \. MeSslein. recently questioned
by Attorney General CarlStrom and
States Attorney Grove about his eff
forts in obtaining paroles for con
victs often was present at the board
| meetings and took an active part in
questioning convicts. the warden was
represented as saying.
The warden asserted that paroles
had been issued without relation or
apparent regard to the character of
the convict or the degree of his Of
fense."
Warden Whitman has spent SO
years in running Illinois prisons. but
| his absence from duty for only eight
hours here yesterday worried him.
Il haven't been away this long for
months" he said. as he waited out
side the grand jury room, and after
an eighty-minute recital to the jurors
he hastened to get back to the prison.

morrow or Thursday, however, as Off

Luce Assails Partisanship.

Representative Luce. Republican,
Massachusetts, declared the most
lamentable effect of the scandal with
which the atmosphere of this city has
been tainted for the last few weeks
has been the introduction of partisan
ship into the affairs of the committee
on World War veterans legislation
and its further introduction on the
| floor of this House.
Unfortunately there has been
again brought on the floor in this dis
cusson the matter of the scandal now
raging in this city. I have neither the
time nor the desire to take up the
| charges They are to be considered by
the proper committee.
Representative Rankin. Democrat,
Mississippi, discussed the Fenning
matter before the House for several
minutes. He lauded the efforts of
Representative Gibson, Republican.
Vermont member of the veterans
committee and chairman of the sub
committee of the House District com
mittee which has been investigating
Mr. Jennings activities. He said that
Mr.. Gibson deserves the gratitude of
the ex-service men of the country"
The bill then under discussion, Mr..
Rankin declared, relieves 'the most
disSraceful situation in the District of
u
of Mr.. Luce for "defending the official
charged with crimes" and denied a
statement made on the floor several
days ago by Mr.. Luce that no insane
veterans estate had lost one dollar
through Mr.. Fenning. The court rec
ords show this man F'enning" had il.
legally appropriated to hiS own use
percentages from the estates of his
wards, Mr.. Rankin declared.
Charges Illegal Combination.
IF YOU whitewash and smooth over
, this situation, you win write one of
the most disgraceful chapters in the
| history of the American Congress-
| he continued. The speaker then re
| viewed testimony before the veterans
and Gibson committees and contended
that this showed MIR. Fenning and DR.
w. A. White. superintendent of st.
Elizabeth's Hospital, have acted in
| combination.
What chance has a poor insane
| World War veteran got to get out OF
| st. E,lizabeths so long as he has an
estate?' he asked the House.
Mr.. Rankin said he was in favor OF
putting through drastic legislation foI
| the District to clean up this situation
and which would say to the helpless
| veteran: I'VE are not going to per
nit your estate to be exploited and
you to be imprisoned"
Other provisions of the bill, all oi
which Chairman Johnson, Republican
South Dakota. explained would cost
$40 600, 900 a year for three years, in
