WANTS FINE COLLECTED
DESPITE DEATH OF MAN
Prosecutor Demands $4,000 Pen

BENTON HARBOR. Mich, April
19.-Can a fine be collected from a
dead man?
Charles F. Ruthenberg. radical
leader, died while an appeal to the
Federal Supreme Court was pending
from his conviction under the Michi-
gan anti-syndicalism statute. A Mich
lgan court had ruled that he must
pay $1,000 fine and serve to 10
years in prison.
His 81, 500 bond is held by the court,
and Prosecutor George H. Bookwalter
of Berrien County contends that the
fine should be collected from it, al
though death has freed Ruthenberg
from the prison term.
Ruthenberg's death before the high
court could act upon his appeal leaves
undecided the constitutionality of the
Michigan law defining criminal syn
dicalisn.
Of p alleged communists arrested
in raid on a meeting in the Michigan
dunes in 1922, only Ruthenberg and
William z. Foster were tried. The
Foster jury disagreed. All of those
arrested put UP Liberty bonds for bail,
and the interest on this SS6,500 in
surety is still being paid to the owners
Of the bonds.

old and born stage manager. L. c.
Woke furnished the piano music for
the scenes, and violin solos were
given by little Roger Drufva.
A special hit was a vocal solo by
Richard Reffelt, a lad Of five, who
sang funny di,ties in a way to throw
the audience into roars OF laughter
This was an "aded number" having
been gotten up at the last moment.
The revue ended with a wedding
scene, in which the Reffolt boy and
Margaret Gooby were the CON
tracing parties" and William Aid
erson. son OF the minister. acted the
role his father frequently functions.
Little Roffelt had the right idea
about it, for Immediately after the
sumptuous ceremony he ostenta-
tiously kissed his bride"
The scene of the tin soldiers, four
lads who marched In dressed in fiery
red costumes and carrying wooden
swords, was uproariously funny. the
gyrations and drills OF the boys
being done with more gusto than
precision.
Following was the program OF the
revue. each participant being dress

costumes, with different regalia
for each scene:

Durant. as promised, published
advertisements in papers over the
country today saying that he had re-

held in various corporations and
would devote himself to automobiles
exclusively hereafter.
Forms Consolidated Motors
He announced formation of Con-

said, would gather around it GER

which would be benefited" by such
a merger. He added that Consol-
dated Motors would be built around
the Star six automobile, just as,
Durant said he founded and built
the now powerful General Motors
corporation around the Buick.

more conservative brokers. that re-
Gently there has been sporadic buy

rise to talk that perhaps Durant
had brought up a largo interest in
Hudson in the open market and It
might be one OF the companies
which later will Join consolidated
motors. Jordan was another around
which the rumors centered and
there was another well-defined story
that Chrysler was involved and
might even become a dominating
factor in the proposed consolidation.
Probably Not Studebaker
In addition, the whole range of
automobile concerns was covered.

probably would not go into any con-
