Probe to Be Made

To see that these instructions are
carried out he further ordered At
torney- General James M. ogden to
assign two of his deputies to aid
Prosecutor Homer Ingram of Yer
million county in carrying on the
investigations and prosecutions.
Ogden and Marie Wall, one OF the
deputy ey-generals, sat in the
Governors office with Leslie while
he again heard the complaints of the
delegation from the worker-owned
Bono mine, first details of which
were given the Governor Tuesday.
Present today, upon orders of the
Governor, were Sheriff Harry New
land of Vermillion county, the prose-
cutor and Ernie z. Boetto, Clinton
automobile dealer and LeSlie'S Yer
million county manager during the
primaries. The latter had accom-
panied the two officials to the hear
ing, the prosecutor and sheriff haV-
ing been ordered to appear by the
Governor.
Dispensing with the evidence
blocking attorney tactics that often
mark a formal court hearing, Les
lie gave all present a chance to talk.
The result was that the sheriff
admitted he had done nothing but
/ disperse the mob which had severe
4 lv beaten, not only the Bono miners
present but several others whom
their comrades said are still un-
able to appear.
The sheriff denied that he took
two hours to arrive at the scene of
the rioting, that he had said that if
the Governor sent troops he could
go to hell or that he had declared
that he couldn't interfere with the
mob because they are the boys who
elected me-
The biggest point of difference be-
tween the mob victims and the
sheriff'S testimony was the matter
of time of his arrival. He said he
got there about forty-fve minutes
after being first notified. The miners
declared that it was more nearly
two hours.
Expected No Trouble
He admitted that he was in Chi
cago with a farm bureau excursion
the day before but declared he
didn't know the fight was to be
staged and expected no trouble.
7 was busy when they first called
me Friday morning and told them
to call a deputy at Clinton the
sheriff, who was at the Newport jail
at the time, told the Governor.
Whereupon he was told by the
Governor that it is the Sheriff'S duty
to assign deputies.
The sheriff and prosecutor were
given a list of thirty-seven names
Of members Of the mob and they
checked off those they knew. This
list had been provided by the Bono
miners. when they called on the
Governor Tuesday.
Today they again recited all the
details of the affray and displayed
their black eyes, knocked out teeth
and told of rib fractures. The
sheriff said he was so busy with the
wounded that he didn't have time to
arrest any of the mob and also that
he wasn't equipped to handle such
a crowd.
Prosecution Is Demanded
The prosecutor said he had done
nothing about the matter. but at the
close of the hearing both he and
the sheriff asserted that they are
ready and willing to arrest and
prosecute those involved.
IT think that every man who par
ticipated should be prosecuted to the
limit" Sheriff Newland declared.
They are guilty of more than riot
ing. They robbed the safe and
stole other belongings from these
men"

STUDENTS 0VERRUN
CHICAGO AIRPORT

CHICAGO pa busy commercial
airport is no campus for undergraduate
fysrs, according 10 Walter w Wright
director of the department superintend-
ing the municipal landing field here.
Student pilots are dangerously con-
costing the airport, Wright finds. Two
thirds OF all aircraft arriving and de-
parting from the field In March were
student training planes. There were
2.324 student flights, while mail planes
made $50 stops.
Commercial planes flying scheduled
routes use the field and operators COM
plain that the student ships circling and
towering over the field often force their
ships TO fly about over the airport for
half an hour before runways are clear
for landing.
A plan Is under way to rehabilitate
the old mail field at haywood for stu
dent planes and tTanaIents.

BLISS DIVORCE
URGED VO|DED

Eight years after she obtained q
divorce from her husband, Arthur L.
Bliss. now residing in Florida, Mrs.
Ruth Clarke Bliss, 1900 block M
st. N. w. has asked that the decree
be set aside and she be allowed a
share Of her husbands property.
The plaintiff, through Attorneys
Julius I. Peyser and Milton Stras-
burger. tells the court she married
the defendant February Z, 1920,
during which time she was ignor-
ant Of his finances.
She had been out Of a hospital
only days, she says, when her
husband told her he wanted her to
so to Reno and get a divorce, and
at the same time had her sign a
paper which she did not read. The
paper contained a waiver of her
dover and marital rights, she
alleges.
The Reno divorce was signed jan
uary 5. 1921. according to the bill
and the wife has since learned that
her husband was worth more than
$3.50. 900 and has an annual income
Of $4,000. The property, which
she says her husband inherited from
his father, has been transferred to
a corporation known as the Bliss
Properties of which she claims
her husband owns $225. 900 in stock.
Although the plaintiff does not
claim that the Reno divorce was
collusive,. she advises the court that
she went to Reno at the instance
of her husband, who paid her ex.
pensea and furnished her with
money to pay her attorney after he
had made arrangements for the
litigation.
