LINDSEY MAY ASK
u. S. COURT APPEAL
Deposed JuriSt Declares He
Is Victim of "InfamouS
Conspiracy"
By the Associated Press.


DENVER, Colo, January 25.-Judge
Ben B. Lindsey, who has been ordered
by the State Supreme Court to vacate
the Juvenile Court bench here, where
he has presided for a quarter of a Gen.
fury, today declared he was the victim
of can infamous conspiracy" He
said he would carry his fight to retain
his office to the United States Supreme
Court, if necessary.
Judge Lindsey planned to continue
his docket today following the APP
prevail of the custer order yesterday
ruling his reelection in 1924 was IL
legal. He announced he would con-
form to the rule allowing Is days to
file a petition for a rehearing and that
if this was refused he would fight to
the bitter end"
The custer suit was brought by Mrs.
Royal G. Graham; widow of Judge
Lindsey's opponent two years ago,
who charged irregularities in the bal
loting in one precinct, where the vote
was first reported, Lindsey, 548; Ora
ham, Is. The Supreme Court threw
out this vote after the case had been
dismissed in District Court, when a
recount gave Judge Lindsey major
ity of only 35 votes. This gave Ora
ham a majority.
Judge Lindsey said he had evidence
at the time of the District Court suit
to show that the Ku Klux Khan had
expended money in the election and
that the district judge refused to ac-
cept the story of one witness because
'it was too flimsy to even call upon
us for a defense"

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, January 25.--Thirteen-
year-old George w. Clemens, farmer
boy of Coweta, Okla, told a Federal
grand Jury here yesterday how he
labored under a blistering sun in an
oklahoma cotton field to make
enough money for Christmas
present for his mother and father and
how he was cheated of his savings
when he answered a newspaper ad-
vertisement Offering 800 oranges for
three dollars, and failed to receive
them.
He testified, with 81 other witnesses
from Is States. against II. d. Gaines
and d. w. Nichols, two of three
alleged perpetrators of nationwide
farm products swindle, who were in
dicted jointly later in the day on 81
counts charging use Of the mails to

products These, the authorities
charge. never were delivered after
orders accompanied by advance pay

throughout the country.
Young Clemens told the grand
jurors that he earned $3.40 in the cot
ton fields, and, thinking he saw
chance to increase his earnings and
thus remember mis- parents hand
solnely at Christmas, sent three
dollars of his little hoard with an
order for the oranges. He intended,
he said to sell them at a small profit.
He made anxious inquiries about
his order when the oranges failed TO
arrive. and when he was told by the
authorities that his money apparently
was lost, he wrote the United States
district attorney here, asking that he
be allowed to testify. The Govern.
ment paid his expenses here and court
attaches and other witnesses made up
a fund much larger than his lost
savings TO see him through his trip.
Operations Are Explained.

FISHERMEN CAUGHT
IN LAKE ICE JAM
Three Marooned on Small
Tug Supplied With Food by
Coast Guard.
By the Associated Press.


MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, January
25.-Three fishermen, marooned for
several days aboard a small tug in
an icefield about mile and a half
out in Lake Michigan off the shore
of Grand Beach, near here, last night
were completely cut off from the out
side world and no effort will be made
to recue them before today.
Last Saturday they were visited by
three members of the Coast Guard
who narrowly escaped drowning and
delivered one days supply of food to
the men In the expectation that the
tug would be brought to shore before
Saturday night.
Yesterday, however, the ice field
around the tug had broken up to
such an extent that the men could
not be reached, although the boat
itself still was held fast, and it may
be necessary to bring a steel-prowed
ship from Chicago to break up the
ice and rescue the fishermen.
Three members of the Coast Guard,
Capt Johnson, Walter Lutz and
Frank Lisemeyer. Saturday made
their way across the ice field, finally
reaching the boat with supplies

the three were plunged into the icy
water when a cake of ice turned over,
and Capt. Johnson nearly drowned
before he was able to swim to an
other cake of ice and Chamber on
it. The ice field extends for several
miles into the lake and a boat at
tempting resuce will be forced to
break its way through a great field
of ice before it can reach the tug.
The three men who are marooned
and from whom no word has been
received since Saturday are Frank

By the Associated Press.
DETROIT, January 25.--Hearing of
the tax suit against former stockhold-
ers of the Ford Motor Co, concluded
here yesterday, will be resumed in
Washington next week when the Gov
eminent will begin presentation of it's
case. The date for resumption is to be
selected at a meeting of opposing
counsel at the Capital Monday.
During the hearing here the Gov
eminent gave no inkling of its plan OF
action to prove an original valuation
placed on the stock as of 1918 by the
Internal Revenue Department was err
roneous. The Government seeks to
recover $50, 000, 900 in added income
taxes as the result of the alleged error.
u. S. Sees Error In Tax.
The Government contends that an
incorrect formula was used by the
department, then under the direction
of former Commissioner Daniel G.
Roper, in computing valuation of the
stock. 1t received $4,000, 600 in taxes
on profits when the stock was sold In
1919 and claims it should have obtained
more than $4,000. 900.
Strictest secrecy was maintained by
Government attorneys regarding plans
of action in support of the contention.
Thus far in the hearing, only defense
testimony has been heard and Govern.
ment evidence will await opening of
the Washington hearing.
No Irregularity Charge.
The Government has made no
charges Of irregularity as yet and
whether it is intended to produce evil
dence of collision was not disclosed.
Nor was it disclosed whether the ac-
ton of Commissioner Roper in max
ing a special evaluation for the appel.
lants would be questioned.
The Ford stock, under special rul-
| ing by the Revenue Department, was
evaluated for taxation purposes. prior
to it's sale in 1919 to Henry Ford. The
advance valuation, according to testi-
mony presented by the defense. was
made in order that the stockholders
could determine how much Of the
profits accruing from the sale the
Government would claim in income

ACCELERATION

Lord Bryce on his first trip to the
United States, commented on our seemingly
mad rush for the accumulation of wealth. On
his second tour he decided that the trend had
changed to imperialism-bu during his third
visit he decided that both of his former in
timations were wrong and that we were
headed toward acceleration.
Lord Bryce would certainly not change
his last thought were he to read the figures
given out on the cost of highways in this
country He would get kick out of them
and would know for certain that we really
had reached the age of acceleration. The es-
timated highway program for the U. s., in
Guiding national, state, county and township
roads, for the year 1927 is placed at one bill
lion, one hundred and twenty three million
dollars. This huge expenditure is brought
about by our desire for faster and better
travel, better and easier marketing facilities,
in fact, our entire industrial system is today
built with one thought in mind acceleration
In this huge program Minnesota ranks ninth,
leading New York with one mile of good
roads.
In many cases too speedy development
finally changes to extreme opposites and is
followed by decay. Yet, in our road building
activities we are laying the foundation for a
firm development so that future generations
may drive along knowing that they hold the
reins of highly developed country and that
their forefathers worked to pull them out of
the mud

In Friday evenings st. Cloud Journal

which A. C. Wallace of Sank Centre was adj
vertising for 40 or so grand nula players
The Herald editor knows nothing about the
ad because if we were looking for grand nula
players, judging by our past experience, we
would never expect to find any round the j. p
building. The ad was probably ordered by
some of the Granite City crowd who were
disguised because the Sank Centre gang had
not been invited down to st. Cloud for re-

can be drawn is that Bruce Ronald realizes
the futility of putting his gang of amateurs
up against the professionals of this city, and
failed to ask for return meeting.
