Norwegian Fascist
Party Nears End

Already the saga Of the Norwegian
Fascist party has drawn to a close.
Organizing the Fascists as the Ma
tional Legion last Summer. Kari Meyer
proclaimed as his aim the purihcation
of the National Assembly in particular
and public life In general He was Q
self-nominated candidate In the October
elections. but was defeated. Later the
legion met. this time to purify itself.
and after stormy deliberations elected
q new president.
Among the chief objections which
cost Meyer his presidency were his
rather doubtful past in New York and
careless handling of the legion's funds.
Meyer has refused to resign and threat
ems legal proceedings If the National
Legion continue under the name he
created.
The legion movement was never taken
seriously and its internal conflict spells

 An amusing sidelignt to the final was that Carlson won the final game at the Lincoln school a year or two ago. but was good sport and agreed to play a boy named Liardi the best two out of three to determine the title of the school. The referees agreed although the decision was en- tirely up to Carlson to say whether he would be satisfied with having won the one game. which is all that the rules of the contest require. or to play Liardi the best two out of three. However. Carlson agreed and was defeated and showed him. self to be good sport after the loss Ely proposed the championship be decided the same way this year; the best two out of three. but this time Carlson said, No sir. tried that once and it didn't work" Then Ely proved himself a good sport. shook hands and the championship was de- cided in Carlson's favor.

Southern Negro Had Been False.
 ly Imprisoned

Columbia. S. C.. May .9 LP- Conscience and justice have set Ben Bess. Florence county Negro. free after thirteen long years behind the bars an innocent man.
 The woman whose testimony sent the Negro to prison on charges of assault for a thirty year term has filed an affidavit. part of which reads:
 Since have not much longer to live. I hereby desire as much as possible to undo the great wrong I have done this Negro, Ben Bess, and hereby declare my testimony upon the trial of this case to be untrue"
 Justice acted when Governor Richards gave Bless a full pardon.
 When Bess went to the peniten- tiary he had some property. He lost this and when he was given his freedom he was destitute. Governor Richards sought to have financial aid given the man from the state contingent fund. but was told that no legal means of doing so existed The governor then expressed the hope that the South Carolina legls- lature at It's next session would take steps to right the grave injustice done this Negro"
 A Columbia newspaper has start ed a fund for Bess and this has reached s364.
 The woman who caused Bess to be sent to prison and who is white failed to give any reason for her false testimony in her affidavit,

SENATE IS PLAYED
 IN WALSH REPORT
Delay in Teapot Dome Subject
 Of Attack

Washington. May os R-A report bitterly attacking the four oil mag mates who participated in the profits Of the long investigated Continental Trading company oil deal of seven years ago and criticizing the treas ury for waiting almost three years before demanding taxes due from the transaction awaited presentation today to the senate.
 The report. prepared by Senator Walsh. democrat, Montana. veteran prosecutor of the Teapot Dome con- mittee. and unanimously approved by his fellow committeeman, charac- terized Robert w. Stewart. Harry F. Sinclair. H. NJ. Blackmer. and James E. ONeil as "conspirators" and de- nounced the entire deal as a con temptlble private steal"
 Senator Nye. republican. North Dakota. planned to offer a supple mental report on the committees findings. but Senator Walsh said neither was to be regarded as the last word on the oil Investigation since many points remained to be cleaned up.
 Walsh reviewed the history of the Continental company's organization to buy and sell oil in this country and declared there was a general be- lief that its $3,osoooO profits were 'to be devoted, and perhaps had been devoted. to corrupt uses of one form or another" since so33.00o in Liberty Bonds purchased with the profits had been traced from Sln- clair to Albert E. Fall. former in- terlor secretary about the time of the lease of Teapot Dome.
 Tt seems now. however" the re- port added. 'to have been lll-sotten gains of contemptlble private steal. the regulations of trusted officers of great industrial houses. pilferlns from their ou-n companies, rohh,ng the poodle coming to one of the free hooters serving in part as the price of the perfdy of member Of the presidents cabinet"
 Reference was made to the testi- nnony that Stewart. O'Nell and Sin clair had made restitution to their companies for their shares of gains Tn the Continental transaction, un- der which oil was purchased at S1.50 3 barrel and resold 10 their companies at S1.7s. but Walsh had this to say on that point:
 Tt is unnecessary to dwell upon the facts leading to the conclusion that no one Of the four consplrators had, at the outset. any purpose 10 make the company, each respective " represented, the beneficiary of the Continental transaction.
 If hls judgment was considered harsh. Walsh said the parties af- tected. whose testimony given direct ly or vicariously was characterized in no degree by candor, are them selves to blame"
 Tt Is impossible" he added. Ito offer any sane reason for taking the pains or going to the expense of or Eanizing the corporation device. or for paying Osler (H. S. Osler. or
