MISS WHITNEY
IS PARD0NED
BY GOV. YOUNG
California Executives Action
Ends Seven-year Fight
in Courts

Sacramento, Calf, June 2l.-tF)
A scvcn-ycar fight in the courts
over the conviction of Miss Char
lottc Anita Whitney, prominent Oak
land social worker, on charge of
violating the California criminal
syndicalism law, has ended with the
issuance of an unconditional pardon
to the 6O-year- defendant by Gov
ernor G. C. Young.
The pardon frees Miss Whitney Of
the stigma Of convict and spares
her from one to 14-year sentence
in San Quentin prison which has
been the object of much Of her well
fare work.
Executive clcmency was requested
by hundreds of people in all walks
of life after the United States SUI
preme court had twice considered the
case and upheld both the constitu-
tionality of the law and Miss Whit
ney's conviction.
Refused to Ask Pardon
Miss Whitney gave up the fight
after the supreme court ruling. She
that to have asked par
don for herself would have been a
tacit admission of guilt.
She was arrested in Oakland in
November, 1919, after delivering a
speech in defense of John McHugh,
accused I. w. w. leader. Her arrest
came after. she had defied city au-
thoritcs by making the speech.
In explaining his reasons for the
pardon last night, Governor Young
that Miss Whitney could
not be classed as Y criminal" Con-
his 5000 word statement he
said:
~ am issuing this pardon because
l do not believe that under ordinary
this case would ever
have been brought to trial; because
the abnormal conditions attending
the trial go long way toward ex-
planning the verdict Of the jury; be-
cause l feel that the criminal syn
dicalism act was primarily intended
to apply to organizations actually
known as advocates, Of violence, ter
rorism or sabotage, rather than to
such organizations as a communist
labor party"
The governor stated that the
judges connected with the case as
we'll as the authors of the law united
in urging pardon.

pital Said to Look Like
Religious War
SIX DOCTORS ARRESTED
Jewish lntcrnes We're Ducked
in Icy Water and Their
Bodies Painted

New York. June 2I.-(A1- Mayor
James J. Walker today personally
headed one Of the three investiga-
tions into the hazing of three Jewish
internes by colleagues at Kings coun-
ty hospital. in what another city Of
ficial described as having the appear
ancc Of "a religious war"
Six Of the physicians. arrested on
charges of assault preferred by the
'nterncs, were held in Jail for turta-
er hearing. They denied the charges
and refused to discuss the incident.
The three doctors said they were
seized in their beds. bound, gagged
and ducked into bath tub of icy
water. Two charged they were paint
ed with ink or shoe polish. They
told police that pillow eases were
drawn over their heads, but that, of
the 20 or more men who took part
in the attack. they recognized the
six.
Walker Is Emphatic
Mayor Walker declared that 'if
these men were hazed especially be-
cause they are Jews, or of any other
faith, will see that the guilty ones
are prosecuted to the last ditch"
The other Investigations were being
conducted by Bird S. Coler. commits
sioner Of public welfare, and the
committee on internes of the medical
board of the hospital.
Coler, declared the attack "seems
like bad religious war;" pointed out
that Kings county hospital is the
only institution under his jurisdic-
tion where Christian physicians out
number their colleagues of the Jew
ish faith. There are 62 Christians, as
against 80 Jews in the city's entire
hospital personnel, he said.
Fargo Man One Of Victims
The victims Of the attack were DR..
Hyman Solovay. graduate Of Cor
neil University; DR.. Louis Borowsky,
Fargo, N. d., graduate Of the Uni
versity Of Louisville. and DIR. Edward
Katshee, of Omaha, Neb., who was
graduated from the University of
Nebraska.
They charged that prejudice against
those of their faith dated back 10
years, when they alleged another
Jewish inferno was escorted to the
Grand Central terminal and ordered
to leave town.
DR.. Solovay was assigned to the
hospital % months ago, while DR..
Borowsky and DR.. Katshec have been
there about two months.
The six arrested as a result Of the
"hazing" were Drs. Lormicr B. Arm

n. D. WORKMEN'S
COMPENSATION
RATES FIXED
Three Business Men Meet
With Bureau Members
Dividends Declared

Three North Dakota business men
sat with members Of the state work
mems compensation bureau at q
meeting Monday afternoon to de-
termine rates for workmen's com.
pensation insurance during the next
fiscal year.
They were Roy F. Bridgeman.
Grand Forks; E. A. Hughes, Bis
marck, and F. p. Mann. Devils Lake.
Each of the 1877 different classi-
ticatlons were taken UP in turn and
insurance rates established.
Mr.. brldgeman. suggested that in
view OF the large number of class;-
fications with few employees and
small pay rolls, it 10 hardly fair for
I the bureau to attempt to force each
classification to pay its own way en-
tirely. Chance, he said, may cause
9 death claim to fall in one classi-
fication and create huge deficit
whereas it might easily have fallen
upon some other classification which
normal experience shows is equally
hazardous.
Board Members Agree
Members Of the bureau said that
in many classifications their expert
ence is too small to give an accurate
indication of all the factors involved
over large stretch Of time and
agreed with Bridgeman that judg-
nnent should be combined with expe-
rience in establishing rates.
A point in question related to rela-.
tive costs OF insurance Tor employees

The hazard should be about equal.
those present agreed, whereas the
experience Of the bureau has been
particularly unfavorable with respect
to the laying Of stsam mains, thib
classification having developed .
large deficit.
Members Of. the bureau agreed with
the principle and applied Il in sew

planning his flight to Paris. Lieut.
enant Commander Richard f. Byrd
once more is receiving the assistance
of a retiring, modest man whose
workshop is on the top floor of the
National Geographic Society build
ing.
He is Albert H. Bumstead. chief
photographer of the society, who
created the sun compass which,
Byrd said. enabled him to make the
first flight by airplane across the
North Pole. For the Paris flight,
Bumstead has chartered q course
designed to save the flyer every mile
possible and at the same time carry
him within sight of as many
recognizable landmarks as feasible.
3,t37 Miles
The distance figured out for the
course is 3.637 miles from New York
to Paris, which is only Is or 20 miles

R)-Formal announcement was made
today that fourth man will travel
in the transatlantic monoplane Amer

Commander Richard E. Byrd, who is
in charge of the expedition, an

number can be carried on a trans
oceanic trip. / would like to call
this fourth man a passenger, but Bal
chen is so useful that in effect. at
least, he will be an important men,
ber Of the crew. He deserves to go
along because Of all the help he has
given US and because he has proved
himself to be a man."
Byrd said there seemed to be only
about one chance in 10 of hopping off
for Europe tonight. With such
weather reports as he had, he tenta-
lively set tomorrow morning as the
earliest time for a take-off. More

MANAGED MURDER
.OF EDITOR CRITIC
"CouId Kiss That Kid"
For Killing Mellett

CANTON, Ohio, March 8. - The
first complete story describing the
assassination of Don R. Mellett, vice
fighting Canton Daily News editor,
on July Is, last, was given by Louis
Mayer to the Stark country grand
jury here today, and made public for
the first time.
First Plan Beating.
Mazer's story of the murder, is as
follows:
Several weeks before the killing,
Floyd Streitenberger, detective SER
geant on the Canton police force at
the time, came to Mazer and told him
Of plans to beat up" Mellett. The
publishers had been running series
Of editorials, charging an "unholy al
lance" existed between the police de-
partment and Canton bootleggers.
His Gunman Friend.
Two weeks before the murder, Ben
Rudner, Massillon hardware merchant,
convicted of completely in the crime
and now serving life sentence in the
penitentiary, told Mazer:
81 have some friends coming here
who will do that Mellett job for u.s."
After the arrival of Patrick Eugene
McDermott, of Manly Clio, Pa, con-
victed gunman in the Staying, Rudner
suggested to Mazer that Pat might
need gun. Mazer gave him .8S
calibre pistol.
''Police All Right"
July 10, the night preceding the
murder, Streitenberger came to Mazer
and suggested that "Louie" go with
him to the Mellett home. Mazer was
hesitant but the detective finally per-
suaded him to go, assuring him: "The
police are all right. They won't bother
us"
