P Postmaster Generals
Son Is Denied F aroIe

Los ANGELES, Feb. "a R-An
application for parole made by Harry
New, son of Postmaster General New

der of his sweetheart, Freda Lesser
in 1921, was refused consideration
today by the district attorneys Of
flee. A communication was sent to
Governor Young advising against any
pardon, or parole.
New has served six years of a
minimum ten year sentence. At the
time of the crime he. drove to the
police station with the girls body
to give himself up and at the trial
pleaded insanity In his parole ap-
rlication he claimed that Miss Lesser
committed suicide but that he did
not present the fact because he was
so upset he did not care what hap

the convention hall with their bursts
of oratory.
But if the republican convention does
anything more or less than to toss in
a perfunctory plank for law enforce
ment,' some very significant develop
ment will have introduced itself into
the situation in the meantime.
And there need be no astonishment
should Senator Borah subsequently an
nounce himself as thoroughly satisfied
with just such a plank and perhaps
even refer to it as a ringing declara-
tion of principle" or something Of the
sort.
Butler and Borah are individuals
within the party. Their following, to-.
all political purposes, is now insignifi-
cant. Their individdalism is only more
emphatically stressed by the fact that
Butler is bowling at the party's indif-
ference to prohibition and insisting
that Calvin Coolidge wants two more
years in office, is unique among the
brethren and that Borah, as he roars
for the bone dry cause as party pol
icy, is equally singular.

CHINESE SOCIETY
STOPS TONG WAR
Organization Has Done Much
to Prevent Outbreaks
of Violence.
Correspondence of the Associated Press,

SAN FRANCISCO.--It is unlikely
| that there ever will be another serious
tong war in the United States, influ'
entail members of the Chinese Peace
Association say.
The organization, known in the ver'
nacular as "Wo Ping Woey," has been
funcT!o1lng ia years and is steadily
oecorc,:g more of a power in preserv'
Ing Amity between klans, big families,
socTaties and factions of Oriental resi-
cents in America.
ANY one wanting to be peaceful
can join the association, an officer OF
the San Francisco chapter explains.
The local chapter was the first or
ganized- and has the largest number
| of members, There are chapters in
many other American cities, and each
has equal ranking, differing from the
Chinese court system, in which the
san Francisco tribunal is recognized
as supreme.
Effort TO Compromise.
The various chapters are similar in
structure. "A president is elected for
two years. Lee Ching Vat holding the
position here. There is an executive
committee OF 20 members. appointed
by other associations, klans, tongs and
principal families.
Finding that it is more difficult to
settle an outbreak after violence has
been committed than to head it off, an
eIIort is made to compromise disputes
before serious trouble has occurred.
Loyal members of the association
are scattered throughout the country.
One of them, learning that trouble Is
brewing, writes or telegraphs to the
secretary of the nearest peace asso-
citation. The president Immediately
calls q meeting of the executive com
mittee. The committee discusses the
matter and probably names an arbiter,
whose expenses are paid to the Scene
OF the trouble. but who works with.
out pay. If the abiter cannot har.
monize the differences he endeavors
to prevail on the .disputants to come
before the executive committee Of the
chapter as whole, and the matter Is
thrashed out at conferences.
1t trouble impends in Detroit, Chi.
cago may send the arbiter, or the
Detroit chapter may invite a peace.
