A. Evans after the county grand jury
had indicted them upon charges or
conspiracy to frame evidence i'll liquor
cases. The warrants will enable police
OF Des Moines and New York to hold
the former vice crusaders as fugltlveS
from justice if they are located.
United States District Attorney John
ID. Meyer made known that his office
would take no action looking to prose-
cution OF King in the Federal courts.
Meyer held that the element of malice
was missing in Kings actions. de-
c,aring that is a fundamental re-
uuirement in criminal proceedings"
At the same time, Meyer said he be-
iieved the persons prosecuted by the
vice crusader in the Federal courts
had been violating the law, but be-
s~aIse OF Kings admissions ef faxed

be pushed.
The indictments against King and
his men were returned after the icon.

made to league officials, was presented

King admitted obtaining samples of

bition cases when the investigators

Another development of the day
was demand by James NJ. Clark,
head of the Pittsburgh Police Depart
ment, for a grand jury investigation

DISTRICT JUDGES
ITO DRAW INCREASE
UNOFFICIAL RULING FROM AT
TORNEY GENERAL CLIFFORD
l.. HILTON THAT JUDGES
WILL GET 500 MORE A MONTH.

Judges of the district court in Min
nesota will begin at once to receive
their salaries at the rate of $4,000
year, in accordance with the increas-
es of 500 month, authorized by the
1927 state legislature, despite the fact
that funds sufficient to finance pay
ment at the increased rates were not
provided in the legislative act. This
has been decided at informal confer
ences of judges in the various dis
tricts of the state, Judge Horace D..
Dickinson of Minneapolis, said last
Friday.
Clifford L. Hilton, attorney gener-
al, and other state officials of Min
nesota, have made unofficial state
ments to the effect that the judges, as
sequel to the recent ruling of the
state supreme court, are entitled to
take the $500 a month increases at
once, if they so desire, and to have
the available funds utilized as far
as they will go.
The legislature voted approval OF
the increases, amounting to $2,4O0 in
the 1929 biennium for each judge.
Governor Christensen vetoed the
measure, but his veto was overruled
by the supreme court on techni-
cality. The measure made the in
creases effective July 1, 1927. The
legislature, however, failed to appro-
pirate funds to take care OF extra
payroll, aggregating over $4,000 a
year for the AZ judges.
The magistrates, under the agreed
plan, will be able to draw the $500 a
month for about 10 months of each
of the two years making up the bien-
mum. There is enough money in the
salary fund to pay the $500 a month
for each Judge from July 1, 1927, un-
til about May 1, 1928, and, in the Sec
ond year of the biennium, from July
i, 1928, until about May 1, 1929.
1t is pointed out, however, that the
next legislature will convene in Jan
nary and conclude its session well be-
fore May /, 1929. A bill providing
funds to meet the salary increases II
years to come as well as appropria.
ton funds to pay the judges what
ever arrears are due them, will be
among the first introduced in 1929
according to plans already in prep
aration by state and county bar asso
Citations, which sponsored this year.
move for higher pay for judges. Thi:
will make it certain that the increases
will be taken care Of before the bi
ennium ends.
