Charged Attempted Bril-
cry, Deferred.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, March 27.-Ex-
onerating all Senators from charges of
attempted bribery made by Senator
John L. Rice of Ell Reno, in letter
published in a newspaper here, the
State Senate yesterday deferred action
against Rice until today, while members
of the House, also investigating charges
of attempted influence. turned to a
night session in an effort to clear up
the case before them.
The House inquiry was launched by
Sam Carmack, Harmon County Repre-
sentative who declared member Of
the House investigating committee had
offered to have dropped charges of i'm
parchment which were being considered
against three justices of the State ST.
preme Court if libel judgment of
County, held by Justice J. w. Clark.
was reduced to $50. Carmack said
Grady Lewis, Greek County Representa-
tive. made the offer. Lewis, who was
called to the stand. told the House
members he had conferred with Justice
Fletcher Riley and Chief Justice Charles
Mason, but Lewis denied he had at
tempted to exert any influence to have
the charges against members of the
court dismissed
The Senate's action against Rice, at
the conclusion of the hearing on his
charges of attempted bribery of Sem
ators who voted in the recent court of
Impeachment to retain Henry S. john
ston as governor, rested upon the &C
ceptance or rejection of a motion to
suspend Rice, pending final action on
his case by an impending extra session
of the Legislature. A substitute motion
to administer public reprimand was
rejected.

little perplexed. Although the
Leonard Hall student who admitted it

in Business.

by the Associated PreSS.
NEW YORK, March 27.-John d.
Rockefeller, jr, was back today from a
three-nionth vacation in Egypt and Pal
eStine
Arriving with Mrs. Rockefeller and
their party aboard the Isle de France,
he gave out statement regarding the
removal Of Col Robert w. Stewart from
the Craftsmanship of the Standard Oil
Co. of Indiana. He said:
1.-The action taken requires no COM
ment. 1t makes clear, however, that
the thoughtful investor estimates the
permanent and underlying value of an
investment not alone in terms of divi-
dendS, essential as they are, but quite
as much in terms of the unquestioned
integrity and singleness of purpose of
the management.
1.-The action is significant because it
emphasizes the conviction that the
highest ethical standards are as vital
in business as they are in other rela-
tions of life"
He said he had met Sir Henry De-
terding head of the Dutch Shell Oil
Co., socially on the ship, but that they
had not discussed international con-

LAKE WATER PLAN
URGEDFOR CHICAGO
Diversion for Sewage Dis
posaI Recommended to
Charles E. Hughes.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 27.-Charles Evans
Hughes, as special master in chan
Gerry, was informed yesterday that the
best plans of the Chicago sanitary dis
trict for sewage disposal called for di-
version of Lake Michigan water.
Mr. Hughes is sitting at hearings to
determine the needs and time necessary
for sewage disposal other than by di-
version of the lake water. Langson
Pearse, sanitary district engineer, said
there were only two tentative plans for
sewage disposal, aside from the &C
tivated sludge plants, which he said
would care for one-fourth of the city
One involved diversion and the other
the turning of sewage into Lake Michi-
gan, with the construction of filtration
plants and additional determination of
the water.
And which is the better?" asked
Mr.. Hughes.
Cites Ruin of Beaches.
1.-THE one involving diversion" Pearse
said. ITO turn Chicago's sewage into
Lake Michigan would ruin the bathing
beaches and the harbor off Grant Park"
Army Engineers, testified that to MAIN
tain navigation in. the Chicago River
diversion of Lake, Michigan water of
1880 cubic feet a second was neces-
sary.
THE sanitary district is now divert
ing $500 cubic feet per second for sani-
tary purposes.
Jadwin Gives Views.
When the sanitary district building
program, caring for sewage disposal
plants required under the Government
permit issued in 1925 for the use of
$500 cubic feet a second, is completed
Maj. Gen. Jadwin said diversion of
5000 cubic feet second would be
necessary The War Department has
stipulated the sanitary district must
provide treatment works by December
81, 1929, to care for 100000 persons.
Six of the treatment plants were de-
scrihed for Mr.. Hughes.
Additional plants will have to be con-
structed if the use of Lake Michigan
water is stopped, as decreed by the Su-
preme Court.

shots at an alleged rum-laden car yes

voy automobile escaped during the
chase.
Vaughan reported that he first
sighted the car at Connecticut avenue
and street. His suspicious were
aroused by the appearance Of the ma
chine and he turned in behind the con-
voy. The first car Immediately put on
speed. The officer attempted to pass
the rear car. but. he alleges, the driver
swung the machine toward the left in
an effort to run him into the curb.
Vaughan finally got past, he declared.
Shortly, the leading car began slowing
down and the pursuing policeman could
see man with a hammer smashing
bottles.
II thought I was going to make an
easy capture" Vaughan stated, when
I heard a speeding motor behind and
saw that the convoy was right on me,
not 2 feet away. I couldn't stop and
I couldn't turn out, so I pulled out my
gun and started shooting" he said.

Fight to Save Barber
Shops for Men Fails
In Minnesota Senate
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, March 81
A valiant attempt to save barber
shops for men was made Mon
day in the Minnesota Senate.
Senator l.. P. Johnson told the
Senate that a man hasn't q
chance in a barber shop any
more, now that women have in
vaded its once sacred precinct IN
such numbers. and he asked for
legislation which would cause the
women to get their hair cut in
hair dresser5' establishments.
But he went down to ignomin-
ious defeat. The Senators decided
they want the women to come to
barber shops, and passed bill
which would prohibit trimming
of hair by hair dressers.
If the House accepts the bill,
the women must get their locks
cut at barber shops.

in the distinguished of the only man ever to

1t is interesting to note that while 80 citizens OF
the United States have been elevated to the presi-
dency, only 10 have been appointed chief justice
since the foundation of goyernment-Jay Rut
ledge, Ellsworth, Marshall, fancy, Chase, Waite
Fuller White and Taft.
One of these, John Rutledge, was never confirm
ed by the Senate, as evidences of approaching in
sanity developed about the time of his appoint
n1ent by President Washington in 1875, and Ellis
worth named in his stead few months later.
John Marshall served longer than any other
chief justice, "a years. and died in office at the age
of 80 fancy served % years until his death at the
age of 81 JAY the first chief justice, the young
est at the time of his appointment, being only A.

WE PAY OUR OWN DEBT

Occasionally we still get from the wliamstown
conference and other seats of the kind of learning
that faint so, suggestions that the United States
ought to cancel the European debt True it is that
the suggestions are now becoming half-hearted
the liberal brethren here and abroad liberal at least
when 1T comes to spending other peoples money, be-
gin to realize that it is the purpose of the United
States government to collect the amount owing us
far it is possible to do so, through the debt
agreements
Although the charge is not made so frequently
of late still hear occasionally to the effect that
Uncle Sam is the worlds shylock and that he is
seeking to recover his debts from poor down
trodden Europe In view of all of this it is interest
ing to examine the figures the debts recently
compiled by the Alexander Hamilton Institute Four
teen nations have agreed to liquidate their war
debts to the United States. The only one which has
failed to make agreement is Soviet Russia, and
most Americans believe that any agreement made by
Russia at present constituted would not be worth
much more than the paper it is written on. The
fourteen countries have agreed to pay us eventually
the of something like eleven and half billion
dollars on the war debts representing principal and
interest up to the time of the settlements But the
present debt of Uncle Sam is something over
sixteen billions and at it's peak it more than
twenty-five billions. The reduction from the peak
has been made possible by the wise fiscal policy of
the United States government and money has come
from American taxpayers and not from Europe.
1t will be therefore that Uncle Sam is not
paying his debts from money collected from any
European "chattel slaves" But this is not ALL In
the fiscal year 1928 the total payments from the
fourteen paying nations war accounts amounted
to something like $207O0OOOO while the interest in
1928 Uncle Sans national debt was about $780,
100000 It will be therefore that the money we
received last year from European debtors
amounted to less than one-third of the interest
charges Uncle Sans debts.
Of course the years go by and national
debt is reduced further by economic policies the
interest public debt will be reduced to the
point where the payments from Europe if still
ing in, will take of it. But this will be
years yet and in the meantime Uncle Sam will
tinue, in the past to pay off his debts through
money saved and earned at home All of which
to pay debts sound like lot of 'horse-
feathers to the least.

DOES THE PAROLE BOARD PROTECT
SOCIETY

The Parole Board of the state of Minnesota is in
bad more
Gilbert Peterson, killed about two weeks ago by
Minneapolis police waiting in hiding for him when
he attempted to hold up oil station, had a long
criminal record
Early in 1920 he was sentenced to from 10
to % years when he entered plea of guilty to
burglarizing the bank at Cedar, Anoka county.
Learning that petition for parole before
the board Will Blanchard county attorney of Anoka
county in April 1928, wrote letter to the Board
protesting against Petersons release from custody
In his objection Mr.. Blanchard stated he had in
vestigated the mans record very carefully and was
convinced that he natural criminal and that
the safety of society would be jeopardsed any time
he at large.
Peterson paroled in September, 1928 and
granted a complete pardon in May 1925.
Investigation since his death has traced num-
Der of serious crimes to Peterson since his parole
and pardon.
The Parole Board in Petersons case was made
up of Charles Vasaly, warden of the ST. Cloud re-
formatory; Mr. Swendsen, member of the State
Board of Control and Rev. Swearington, of ST. Paul
The Boards generosity to the criminal has been
a menace to society other occasions.
Under the Minnesota law convict is eligible to
parole after he has been in prison a comparatively
short time If the criminal knew he would serve
specified sentence, less time off for good behavior
the crime wave of the state would sacken
Undoubtedly there instances where a parole
is justified The Herald is of the opinion that if the
Parole Board made up of District Judges one
of whom to be the judge who had heard the case
equitable justice would be done and sentiment alone
would not prevail
