1" MOTHER isolated factor was
TAI Charley Morris, who succeed
ed my brother as publisher of


the newspaper. Not among Ameri-
can newspapermen probably could a
worthier successor have been found.
Relentlessly he pursued the effort.
He worked day and night. 1t was
difficult to discover when he slept.
He grew thinner and whittier and his
eyes retreated further and further
in their sockets. He never let up.
If Thinker furnished the backing
and created the public morale, Nor
ris, so 1t seems to me, furnished the
initiative and the intelligent plan
ming.
There were other factors. Ora
Slater, a private detective, rare
among his kind, since his chief stock
in trade was his reputation for per-
sonal honesty, a reputation that
stood him in good stead in a town
sick Of the very word detective; a
Cleveland newspaper reporter, who
crowded the tinid prosecuting attor-
ney into a corner with threat to
publish the facts he had learned un-
less those facts were presented to
the grand jury and indictments OBJ
tanned.
Then, too, there was Mayor
Swartz, an unknown quantity in 10
cal politics, who surprised the crooks
and that part Of a respectable ele-
ment supporting the crooks, by
spurning their demands for continu-
ed control of the police department
And Judge Pontius, who had been
my brothers attorney, and who
made the pursuit of the criminals
his personal business from the day
Of the crime until the last conviction
was recorded.
Others there were, but these I
have named witnessed at work.

the victim of situation cal

TWO IN BURNING AUTO
Men Expected to Die at South Bend

By United Press
SOUTH BEND. Ind, July 2l.-
David Marcus of South Bend, cloth
ing merchant. and Russell Pence of
Michigan City were near death in
hospital here today from injuries
IN an automobile accident shortly
before midnight Wednesday. Their
automobile crashed into a milk
truck driven by Wilbert White OF
Chicago on a highway near New
Carlisle, fourteen miles west of here.
The automobile caught fire after
the crash, but the injured men were
hauled from the wreckage before
the flames reached them. Hospital

NOW SHE WILL DICTATE
Real Estate Man WEEDS Stenographer
for Last Lears.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK; July 21.-Solomon
N. Oppenheimer, real estate dealer,
has been debating to Miss Ger
trude Gruen for seven years, but
that's all over now. Yesterday he
was married to the woman who has
been his stenographer since 1920.

aWoke the public conscience
for the time being. How long
it will remain awake is yet to be
seen.
The day following the murder the
very participants in the conspiracy
met openly in the public streets, in
the lobby Of the principal hotel
in the corridors of the police station
itself.
So brazen they were so sure of
the situation, you had the feeling
they we're bursting to tell the town
it was they who had done it; that
they exulted in the suspicion cast
upon them.
And but for few isolated factors,
this exultation might have been long
lived, the guilty men might be en-
joying it in full freedom today. For
Canton seemed incapable of rousing
itself. Tinid business men met and
deplored the tragedy. But appar-
emily they deplored even more earn
estly the fact that Canton was being
given bad name and they were of
a mind to resent the thoroughgoing
investigation.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-07-21

Tine of the isolated factors was
I'M Harry H. Timken. You know
III him for the roller bearings
that bear his name. Biggest citizen
in Canton, millionaire of his own
making, man of grim courage, he
took in hand the little business men
little only in the size of their souls,
some of them, for among their num-
Der were men of wealth and i'm
portance.
I have in mind one Of tie latter
who shook his fist beneath the nose
of the tinid prosecuting attorney
and cursed him for daring to bring
into Canton, Joseph Roach, famous
criminal attorney and investigator
Of Chicago.
The men of minor importance, Tim
ken scared with his angry tongue,
burning off the SNUG outer COW
ering Of their souls, leaving them
naked and ashamed in their own
eyes, glad to clothe themselves again
in the outward habilimentS OF good
citizenship, glad to join him in his
cleansing efforts. The men OF
major Importance, Thinker Tended
off with his money.
There came a time when it wau
sought to frighten this big, raw
boned, gray-haired industrial leader.
1t was proposed to publish the fact
that he, like most of the others, had
bought bootleg products for his own
! use. His reply to than indicates the
stuff of which he is made. IF
have contributed in any way to Don
Mellett's death, I wish to take my
punishment along with the others,
he said.
They couldn't fight man like
that for long. The nervous little
citizens lined up with him, the i'm
portant bigger citizens, with some
thing to conceal, lapsed into silence
and let the inquiry take its course.

Justice
Five Canton Men
Have Been Con-
,victed for Killing
of Don Mellett.
BY LOWELL MELLETT
. HEY have sent one more citi-
TT zen of Canton to the peniten-
! tiary for the murder OF my


tiary for the murder Of my
brother, Don r. Mellett.
Five it is now. Ben Rudner, son
of a so-called millionaire junk deal
err; Louis Mazer, who lived on the
earnings of prostitutes and who, true
to the nature Of one who will do
that, won himself a shorter sentence
than the others by being first to
confess; Streitenberger, brutal and
stupid policeman; Pat McDermott
vicious rat hired to fire the fatal
shot, his employers lacking even the
cowardly kind of courage needed for
that; and finally, Seranus Lengel,
chief Of police.
One year ago to day it was from
the assassination to the final con-
viction. "A good deal has happened
in that year.
Canton, where murderers once
escaped as matter of course, has
made a record among American
cities by the thoroughness with
which 1t has cleaned up the condi-
tiQns that formerly made murder in
evitable there.
The separate juries bringing in
these verdicts represent cross-sec-,
ton of the Canton state of mind at
present, a very different state of
mind from that at the time my
brother met his death.

4S SCOUNTRIES
REPRESENTED IN
LEAGUE COUNCIL

GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept. 5 H9-
The eighth assembly OF the league
of nations began its sessions today
with 48 countries represented. Most
of the day was occupied with the
election of officers, the heads of COM
nlittees and speeches. The old barn
like hall of reformation" in which
the assembly sits presented colorful
aspect, at least so far as its occupants
were, concerned, since almost every
hue of the human skin was to be
seen. There was lacking. however,
The picturesque native costumes which
have enlivened the scene on previous
occasions.
For the first tiTna in league history
the president of The assembly was
not in formal morning dress. That
official, Senor Guani, ,sASh out and out
democrat, presided i'll ia plain blue
sack suit, and no wafetcpat-an omis-
sion which the heat efsthe hall amply
justified.
+ The assembly opened with an ad-
dress by Enrique gVillegas, of Chile,
who now is sfunctloning as president
of the league c,slncil, and proceeded
with proptitude to elect another Latin
American diplomat, Alberto. GUAM,
of Uruguay. as its permanent presi-
dent--the third time in league history
that Latin America has thus been
honored. There. were "a votes for
Senior GUAM against 81 for Count
Albert Mensdorff- -Pouilly y-Dietrichstein
OF Austria, pre-War diplomat of the
CID school.
The Uruguayan was supported not
ably By Great Britain, France and
Germany.
f5enor GUAM. in an address on
assuming the presidency, predicted
that "the differences. which heretofore
have been. used to- classify nations
according to their special Importance
or material strength seems destined
gradually tc disappear, to reach &
general levelling of all states big and
small and unite them in common
feeling of mutual respect and demo-
cratic equality" II
Minieghiro Adachi, of Japan, who
had withdrawn as candidate for
the presidency of the assembly, was
elected president of the commission
on constitutional questions.
