Len Small and CoIUin
Implicated in Scandal

The Major Engineering company
with offices at 1923 West Madison St.,
which was Incorporated id 1921 as a
s2,5O0,000 corporation ostensibly to
buy, sell and build engine pumps, and
later to make a metal as strong as
steel and as light as aluminium, has
ben found to be nothing more than a
pardon mill.
ConViets are Stockholders.
This corporation headed by Major
NJ. A. Messlein has been active in
tgaining pardons for imprisoned booze
runners and gunner. Will Colvin,
chairman of the state board of par
dons and paroles, and formerly treas
urer Of this corporation, it is declared
Is one Of the principal investors in
the corporation today. Among the
stockholders Of this corporation are
well-known heutenants Of the O'Ban-
MON and other booze-running Chicago
gangs. Many Of these gangsters have
bought Stock" anywhere from $500
to $1,000 worth, a month or so pre-
vious to being pardoned. It is claimed
that these investments are the prices
paid by the gunner for their paroles.
Seek Church Support.
Among the letters seized in the raid
on the Major Engineering corporation
was one from viii Colvin to Major
Messlein in which it advised the
major to distribute certain booklets
defending the parole system to units
Of the Volunteers Of America and Chi
cago churches and to urge the clergy
to discuss lives and liberties in their
pulpits. In this letter Colvin declares
that 1.-THE parole law is on trial"
Warden In Company.
Deputy Warden Peter N. M. Klein,
who was killed by seven convits in
their attempt to escape, was heavily
interested on the corporation. The
special grand jury investigating the
McSwiggin murder is also investigat-
ing the question of pardons and paroles
as a number of the gangland figures
in the triple-murder had been paroled
or pardoned convicts.
The grand jury OF VIII county
which is probing the prison escape is
also bent on finding out what connec-
ton Klein had with Messlein, and
why Klein held consultation with
seven convicts at one time.
Pays $500 to coIvln.
Messelein has been released but all
the documents of the Major Engineer
ing corporation have been seized and
are being investigated. Messelein ad-
mitted on examination by the states
attorney that he had given Colvin
$4,000 in stocks in the engineering
corporation for his nephew's parole.
Letters were also found in the corpo-
ration's files showing that Messlein cor
responded quite frequently with Gov.
Len Small.
5000 Are Freed.
Messlein admitted to having aided
more than 5000 convicts to gain par
dons and paroles.

STATE FINANCES IN
FINE CONDITION

The finances of the state at the
end of the year are in sound cond!-
ton, and Minnesota is destined to
enter upon an. era of business sue
cess, according to Ray P. Chase, state
auditor, and E. w. Stark, state treas
urer, who made survey of the ac-
complishments of the state for the
past year.
Outstanding in these accomplish
ments for the past twelve-montn
period is that the bonded indebted
ness of the state in 1925 was reduc-
ed from $16,000,000 to $13,000,000.
In the opinion of these two officials
the commonwealth will be free from
all membranes in a period of five
years provided that the succeeding
legislatures do not increase the bonds
of the state.
Another promising condition is that
the several communities of the state
which in years past sought enormous
| loans from the state treasury in 1925
! paid back more on their loans than
| the amount borrowed. Municipalities
borrowed $1,O35,271 in state fund )
and paid back more than $2,000,000
worth of loans during the same per
iod. AS a result of the lessened de-
mand for loans the state investment
board purchased $4,0O0,000 worth OF
Liberty bonds to comply with the law
which makes it compulsory to invest
! tho eff ato trl1St funds
Another indication of the sound
condition of the state IS that every
appropriation made by the legislature
has been met and when called for and
there is a cash balance as of Deem
Der 18th of $7,O28,251.73, Mr.. Chase
explained.
On December 21st, state to high
graded and rural schools in the
amount of $5,796,342.75 was issue1
from the revenue fund. AS resuig
this fund will be overdrawn temper
arily, but will be taken care of from
other funds so that it will not be nee
essary toborrow money to meet such

obligations.

OOBI& 8GlOKfS.
In addition, Mr.. Chase said, the
permanent trust funds Of the state
increased during the past fiscal year
from the sale of lands, timber, royal
ty on ore and occupation tax to the
amount of $3,O76, 300.
The amount of the permanent trust
funds drawing interest is $55, 144,-
466.23, the income from which is ap-
portioped to the schools throughout
the state to the number of scholars
attending the various schools.
During the lasct fiscal year 365,512
checks which totaled $82,520, 045.2o
were issued by the state auditors
department. Of this amount $231.-
918.67 was for the cost of the state
executive departments.
Receipts for the calendar year Co
tailed approximately $65, 800, 900 while
disbursements totaled $4,000, 900. Al
though this discloses variance in a
balance, incoming funds during the
very short period will overcome the
temporary deficit.
State officials are especially jubi-
liant over the material reduction of
the bonded Indebtedness of the state
and are looking forward to having
this Indebtedness paid off within at
least five years. Towever, they ex-
planned, this can only be done in the
event that successive legislatures 60
not burden the state with a further
series of bond issues.

quences, he is outspoken In advocacy

Advancement of Women.
While Sir Albion admires the indie
pendence of the American woman, he
is enthusiastic in stressing the ad
vancement of the women of his own
country. His father was a pioneer
in the advancement of education and
acknowledgment Of the Indian wom-
an. and it IS from him that Sir Albion
derived many of his modern ideas
regarding the status of women in
India. 1t is because these women
are beginning to teach in the schools,

In the municipal councils that he
believes it is all the more important
that they should have a true concep-
ton of American life, instead of the
distorted version obtained from Ger.

The treasure of this city. Sizma.

Of mercury, which was in demand all
over the Roman world for facial dec

of the University of Michigan was
excavating at Antioch. DIR. Robinson
made a side trip to Sizma and excavat-
ed there, expecting to find the ruins
of the city Of Roman times and per
haDs the Roman temple built to the
Mother of Earth" The temple,
which is known have been elabo-
rate because Of the city's wealth. could
not be found. Even excavations to a
depth of 25 feet revealed nothing eX-
cept ashes, Stag and debris.
Instead of the Roman city, DR..
Robinson discovered important EVIL
dence of a prehistoric city on the
same site Twenty vases, red. brown
and black. dating back farther than
$500 3. c.. were unearthed. and after
careful study Of this evidence. DR..
Robinson has concluded that these
primitive vases are like no other pot
terry known except that from the
Island of Crete.
The specimens might mean that the
Cretan civilization has it's origin in
Asia Minor Or else the presence of
the pottery in these mountains might
indicate that the early artists of Crete
sent their wares to great distances.
But further investigation OF the region
would be necessary to determine it's
origin. DIR. Robinson states.
"A deposit of $50 knuckle bones.
found among the debris. indicates that
the ancient Sizmians loved that game
as much as the moderns," he says.
