PAROLE HARING GANG
STER; LABOR LEAD
ERS STILL IN JAIL

Washington -(FP)- Tom Mooney
and Warren Billings remain in prison
under life sentence when the whole
country knows they were convicted by
perjured testimony framed by a crook
ed district attorney. The first of the
victims of wartime lynch law in Cen
tralia has only now, after eight years
of Imprisonment, been recommended
for parole.
But Tom Miller, former dupont
congressman from Delaware and later
alien property custodian, has been
named for parole from Atlanta prison
after only seven months out of the Is
months to which he was condemned
after two trials.
Miller, with Harry Daugherty and
the late John T. King, republican ma
tional committeeman from Connect.
CUT. were indicted for sharing nearly
half a million dollars of bride money
paid them by German capitalists fol
returning 10 the Germans, in violation
of law, a 100000 property taker
by the government. Miller's bank &C
count showed that he got at least $50,
600 of this bride while he was il
charge of alien property. King die
suddenly under mysterious circum
stances. Two juries failed to agre
on Daugherty's guilt.

advanced the theory that the buttes
themselves are made up of the decom-

sounds a little far-fetched.

that the process of petrifacation was
to have extended to this same cave

male, it would have been interesting
to see what there was about him

CHICAGO SCHOOLS
FACE HUGE DEFICIT

Chicago, Nov. 3O.-Chicago news
papers today said that the city schools
faced deficit approximating $12,000,-
900 caused by financial troubles Gin
herited from previous administrations,
coupled with tremendous loss IN rev
enue this year from uncollectable tax
es."
Some extra legal means of main
tanning current expenses must be
found, it was pointed out, until more
tax money becomes available about
February Is. Both the Tribune and
the Herald Examiner said the schools
would not be closed.
Private funds from public spirited
citizens will be called upon if neces-
sary, the Examiner said.
Members of Mayor Thompson's ed
ucational advisory committee, includ
ing such civic leaders as VIM. Wrig
ley, Silas Strawn, Elmer Stevens
Thos. E. Wilson, Geo. Getz and JohI
Hertz have been consulted by Il
Wallace Caldwell, president of thu
school board, in his efforts to aver
the Impending dilema."

too, the fact that this tract is not a
half-acre, but many acres, IN extent,
may have something to do with it.
There is a little, entertaining old
man in Interior, a pioneer H0f the Bad
Lands named Hans l.. Thompson, who
sought me out and invited me to come
and see him at his little cottage. He
makes his living by selling souvenirs
to tourists, and his den is full of
treasures. He makes queer bits of
pottery, which he decorates with foss-
lis, and these sometimes bring him a
neat income. He likes publicity, and
showed me clippings from various
newspapers which had mentioned him
and his odd business, and he gave me
to understand that it would not dis
please him even a little if / should
take the liberty to mention him in my
