FAMILY TO AID YOUTH

It would have been physically i'm
possible for Carl Skeen, 22-year-old
butcher of 814 Foltz Ave, to have
pushed Mrs. Pearl Jarboe from his
automobile while he was driving il
at a thirty-five mile-an-hour rate,
June 10, at Sixteenth st. and Colo
RADIO Ave.
This, defense attorneys disclosed
today, will be the basis for the fight
they will wage in Criminal Court
to free Skeen, returned here from
Denver Monday, of the first degree
murder indictment he faces as the
result of the. death of the 24-year-
old waitress he took for joy ride
that afternoon.
"It is plain case where a
woman acted fatally on an i'm
pulse" said. Defense Attorney
Thomas G. Whallon.
Challenges Police to Test
'"To prove he could not have
Thrown her from the machine, as
some witnesses claim, will defy
the strongest officer on the police
force to drive his machine thirty-f1ve
miles an hour, open the door, and
pitch me from the car, myself I'M
willing" Whallon said.
"This boy is victim of tubercu-
Nosis and is not strong. He could
not physically have done this al
legged crime"
Defense Attorneys Whallon and
Earl R. Cox declared they would
fight any moves to bring Skeen to
trial before his case regularly would
come up on the court docket.
He likely will be arraigned Mon
day. regular arraignment day,
Trial Likely in Fall
Although Prosecutor William H.
Remy has declared he will make
efforts for speedy trial, it is I'M
likely the trial can be arranged be-
fore fall. Court is not in session
in August.
Detective Patrick Finneran brought
the young butcher back from Den
yer, where he was arrested last
Tuesday.
On the trip Skeen gave Finneran
a signed statement recounting a
story of the events leading to the
woman's death similar to the one he
told a Scripps Howard reporter in
Denver.
The woman jumped from the ma
chine, the statement declares, when
he told her they were going to a
place to buy beer. They had several
drinks of liquor, he said.
BertiIIon Record Taken
skeen, wearing a gray suit and
cap, needed a shave, when he was
taken to police headquarters from
Union Station Monday afternoon.
He is slender, of medium height and
wears his light brown hair in pom
padour style.
His Bertillon record was taken
and then he met his mother and
father, who have been separated for
more than year, in the turkeys
Office. His sister and his youthful
wife were with his mother, and her
sister, Mrs. Lula Greenwood, living
in the 1400 block on Bellefontaine
Ave.
Skeen was wordlesS; tears rolled
down his cheeks. He sought out his
wife, kissed her, and then gazed
above the eyes of the little party
His father and mother, who have
lived apart for more than a year
spoke a few words to each other

THE FEARLESS COSSACK," AT

"The Fearless Cossack," or '.Taras
Bulba," one of the most famous
character creations in all of Rus
sia's literature, has been brought
to the screen in photoplay which
the Playhouse, 410 South Michigan
Boulevard, Chicago, will present for
the week beginning this Sunday
"Taras Bulba," the novel on which
"The Fearless Cossack" is based,
was written by N. V. Gogol, the
great Russian novelist. In this
searching novel, Gogol pictured with
minute accuracy the lusty, ribald
and often murderous marauders, dis
patched by Gear Ivan, 1.-THE Ter
rible," to defend his furthermost
borders against the incursions of
the Crimean Tartars.
On the same program, the F.ay-

BELGRADE PLANS
TO JAIL CROAT
PARTY LEADERS
Fear of Peasant Masses
Causes Orders

VIENNA, Aug. 26.-Sheltering
its action with plea chat leaders
Of the Croatian Peasant Party arc
attempting to split the kingdom of
the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the
Belgrade government is reported to
be preparing to arrest those lead
ers, particularly DR.. Waldo Matchek,
who is charged with having led agi-
tation against the state.
In defense of it's orders the gov
eminent cites Matchek's newspaper
interviews and the telegram which
he is alleged to have sent to the In
terparliamentary Congress in Ber-
lin. In this he stated that the
Jugo-Slav representatives in the
Skuptchina were not the represent
tatives of Croatia.
The other leader against whom
the government is reported to be
proceeding Immediately is Deputy
Kremjebich, leader of the separatist
delegation at the Interparliamen-
tary Congress.
While it is acting against the
leaders of the Croatian Peasant
Party the government is frank in
admitting that it is the revolt of
the masses of peasants which it
fears. The demand for separation
from Serbia has spread among the
peasants and it is believed here that
the action of the government in
falling the leaders of the party will
have little effect in suspending the
action of the peasants in Croatia.

not against the gentlemen of the
"rackets" with whom they frater-
nize, but against the workers OF
Philadelphia.
At every factory, shop or mill
where there was strike or possibil.
ity of a strike, were police, not
singly or in pairs, but in squads
At every workers gathering, at
every workers meeting, police and
detectives were presnt.
During all this time many arrests
were made. No, not of gangsters
but of honest workers peaceably
and legally trying to better their
conditions. Does Judge Lewis de.
mand an investigation of why police
were at places where people were
legally assembled? No. Judge Lew,
is does not care. And the grant
jury would do well to ponder the
fact that were the police and de
tectives assigned to work against
the gangsters, instead of against
workers the whole investigation
might be unnecessary.
And are the gangsters now
"afraid" and do they fear the in
vestigation to be made? Evidently
not. For less than twenty-foul
hours after the judges dramatic
charge to the grand jury there was
an additional gang murder and an
other gang shooting at which g
gangster was severely wounded.

Twenty-four representatives from
capitalist colleges in thirteen states
decided to go to Chicago, spend six
weeks ION their own" and prove
that the reason the unemployed are
so is because they don't want to
work. One of these who taught
highlights of economics in one of
the bosses hOkum factories landed
herself nice job after four days
making lamp shades at $3.50 a
week. She managed to hold the job
six weeks. Now she is back in her
college again and will have to con-
tinue to teach her students that
everybody has an equal opportunity
dnder capitalism including the off

workers. If she doesn't she will find
herself in Chicago making lamp
shades in dead earnest. The only
difference will be she will have to
live a whole week on that $3.50.

PHIL ADELPHIA
COPS ARE PALS

Fat Judge amazed"
Wants Probe
CBy a Worker Correspondent

(By O. Worker Correspondent
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (By Mail)
Judge Edwin o. Lewis in Quarter
Sessions Court called upon the
August grand jury to make a
searching Investigation" of the
recent gang murders in this city.
The judges charge to the grand
jury makes an interesting sociolog-
ical document and unwattingly re-
veals the real Towering of dem
ocracy in what is regarded as the
typical American city, the birth
place of American liberty"
In the address to the grand jury,
Judge Lewis wants it to find out
who are the persons comprising the
gangs, why do these gangs exist,
who are the leaders in the Phila-
delphia bootleg ring, who are the
men said to be making millions of
dollars profit, who are their accom-
plices who war upon the rival gangs.
Lewis was surprised and indignant
to know that detectives fraternized
with professional gangsters. The
judge naively says, 81 was amazed
to think that police officers would
be on friendly terms with known
gangsteIs."
The writer ventures to suggest
that the honorable is probably the
only known person in Philadelphia
to be amazed at the fact. But the
judge asks the grand jury to find
out what is back of it. "Why are
the police in friendly terms with
these men ?"
One of the slain "racketeers,"
Hughey McLoon, was daily COM
panion of Magistrate Carney. Car
ney is one of the minor judges. So

jury to subpoena Magistrate Car

In a nutshell, the purpose of the
fund is to help solve the remaining
fundamental problems of aviation and
to help convince the public that travel
by air is safe, there being no question
about its advantages. When these two
things are accomplished civil aviation
will leap forward. The explosion OF
public interest in flying touched off by
Lindbergh has helped enormously in
both these tasks. Previously airplane
manufacturers and designers had to
devote most of their attention to mill
tary planes, in which safety OF neces-
sity is by no means the prime factor.
Now there is enough commercial and
other civil flying to permit these COM
panies to concentrate profitably on
