REVEAL GIANT
ALIEN RING
Thousands Struggled Into
U. S. Through Detroit.
BU United Press

By United Press
DETROIT, July 2.--More than a
million aliens now illegally are re-
siding in this country and the num-
Der is constantly increasing through
operations of gigantic human snug
CLING syndicates, the Detroit News
stated today in the first of a Sc
ries of articles detailing machina-
tons of the smuggling ring.
Detroit is the greatest port Of
entry for this constant stream of
aliens, according to the News, and
many of the trusting aliens meet
death on the hazardous voyage
across the Detroit River from Wind
sor md other Canadian cities to De-
troit.
From Detroit the aliens, many of
them undesirables of moronic and
criminal classes, are sent to Chi
cago, Pittsburgh, st. Louis and other
industrial centers by runners.
Large numbers of the aliens lose
their lives in the river crossing
through carelessness or intent by
the smugglers.
The article stated that common
practice of the runners is to throw
the aliens overheard to drown in
event border patrol boats approach
them during the river crossing.

LEADER STORE
IS YEGG TARGET
Craftsman Make Escape
With $3.50.

Police have no trace of expert
yeggs who worked the combination
of the safe at the Leader Store,
Delaware and Washington SITS, Sat
urday night and obtained $973.86
cash and 1881 in checks.
Aaron Unger, store manager,
discovered the burlary Sunday
noon. A panel had been broken
from the side door to enter the
store. Although they were able to
work the combination by listening
to the click of the tumblers as the
dial was turned, the yeggs had to
batter open inner doors.
The loss was entirely covered by
insurance, Unger said. The ma
jority Of Saturdays receipts had
been taken to the bank earlier, he
said.
He urged all persons who gave the
store checks Saturday, to stop pay
ment on them. In the case of pay
roll checks, employees should ask the
employers to stop payment. He
also asked all those wTo gave checks
Saturday to communicate with store
officials.

Months of 1928.

A budget covering expenditures of
Indianapolis public schools for. the
last six months of 1928 was to cd be-
fore the school board for approval
this afternoon.

$209, 421 90 for the library fund; ST.

teachers salaries, and $21, coo for
free kindergartens.

school expenditures were made as
late in the school year as October

II ALBANIA PUTS
End TO CONVICT
ESLAyE SYSTEM
Halt Called to Reign of
Brutality; Lease Plan
Is Abolished.
BY JACK BETHEA

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July g.
NThe State Of Alabama today stood
at the end Of the long, long trial
that has led through suffering and
blood to the abolition of the con-
Vict lease system.
Alabama today ceased to sell her
convictS to private employers and
ceased to work them herself in coal
mines and thus ended a battle that
has lasted more than a decade.
Eight hundred fifty Negro con-
victs were taken from two State
operated coal mines yesterday and
distributed to prison farms and road
camps of the convict department.
simultaneously, 200 convicts
leased to a lumber company were
taken over by the State and will be
used to build roads for the highway
commission.
Lease System Ends
These men were the last of those
to pass under protection of the act
of the 1927 Legislature, fixing June
3d. 1928, as the final day on which
convicts in Alabama should be
leased.
White convicts in the coal mines
were removed nearly a year ago.
County convictS leased to private
coal corporations were taken over
by the State and removed from the
F74iY7cc nina Y43AY4fhc
Today's hegira therefore complets
the abolition of the last vestige of
the convict lease system and eli
makes a spectacular fight against
the system, lasting over thirteen
years.
Long, Brutal Story
The history of convict leasing in
Alabama is lurid one, a story of
horror, of brutality and of exploita-
ton Of helpless men, both by the
State and by private industrial in .
terests which bought their labor
from the state.
The convict lease system literally
was legalized slavery. The State sold
the convicts to the private coal cor.
porations of the district, who worked
them in the mines with only nom
inal supervision from the State.
The lease system was as OLD as the
coal mining industry in this state.
Alabama had sold its prisoners for
nearly half a century, when the first
organized effort was made to abolish
the practice.

been healthful. We must start out
slowly on the sleeping and get a
little more each night until y.e get
back to normal.
1.-THE diet 1 was on helped me
last through the marathon. I ate
nothing but raw food and
vegetables.
To-day think I'll take a long

attributed it different reasons.
THE first thing 1 did after the
marathon ended was to get eight
hours Sleep" he said.
Then 1 went to church. I'm
going right on and get eight hours
sleep a night, even if doctors do
say 1 should not have too much
of it right away.
IT can't give any formula for
my success. Of course my part
