himself in Joliet penitentiary, serv-
ing a sentence of from one to ten
years. He stayed there three years
before the pardon board got around
to considering his case. His release
upon parole was immediate.
Vargas came to Chicago, his edu-
cation in the English language and
American customs greatly furthered
by his years in the penitentiary.
He bought a restaurant, pros
pered, married, settled down to the
life of an industrious citizens. Then
came the notice of his fathers
death in Maracaibo, where the older
Vargas owned a department store,
a cattle ranch and rich oil lands.
But if I go without getting a
pardon to claim my fortune" he
told the Governor, "once I leave
this country I will not be allowed
to return to America. I would like
to be rich and I would like to stay
in America. Your pardon would
make both possible. If I must
choose, I will do without the for
tune"
Vargas story so touched the
Governor that the absolute pardon
was forthcoming at the state Cap
itol in Springfield.
Governor Emmerson is a great
man. And America is a great coun-
try. When / return I shall be proud
to apply for citizenship papers"

of three years in Joliet peniten-

and combinations of sentences had
been filed by 118 prisoners, includ-
ing thirty-six sentenced for life
terms. Tonight the prison trustees
will sit as a pardon board and hear
the pleas of nearly seventy-f1ve in
mates.
In the majority of the cases heard
today, freedom was asked tor the
applicants in order that they might
obtain work and care for their fami-
lies.
Doctor Asks Release
Included in the list of life convicts
who had asked for freedom was
DR.. Nelson Ross, convicted in Della
ware county on charge of muir
der. He was found guilty on Oct.
%, 1909, of having shot and killed
Dan Under, an interurban car con-
ductor, because Of an argument
over 10-cent fare.
The Muncie doctor has made re-
peated attempts to obtain freedom.
According to the evidence, DR.. Ross,
man of violent temper, boarded a
car without having bought a ticket,
and objected when Under at
tempted to charge him an extra
fare of 10 cents. He was temporarily
paroled once, but failed to report at
the appointed time.
Another "lifer," whose application
was before the board, was Ed Mccoy
also from Delaware county, who was
convicted in 1917 on a charge OF
numbering Frank Butler, Negro. He
escaped Jail, but was recaptured ir

for a pardon. He was one of the
three men tried for the murder OF
Attorney ThaddeuS Gancher OF
Crown Point, in the Cedar Lake
holdup in 1924. O'Reilly was a pal
of frankie McErlane and Alexander
McCabe, both of Chicago, who also
were tried for the Staying. Nicer

the case, one disagreeing and the
other returning verdict OF guilty

parole. He was sent to prison only

cessful appeal to the Indiana SUI
preme court and a plea to Governor
Harry G. Leslie for an executive
pardon. Kraft was sentenced Dec. 8,

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 30-Why
IL must men always consider her
as the character she portrays on the
silver screen?
Why can't they see behind that
makeup into her real self?
Why must sex take precedence
over all else?
Why are those terrible tales cir
culated about her?
Those are the things Rita La
Roy wants to know. They are the
things about Hollywood that puzzle
her-and annoy her.
Rita has been around Hollywood
about a year and half now. And
during that time she has become
one of our most successful screen
sirens. Of that there's no doubt.
DUT out of makeup and out of
- character, Rita is so very, very
different. Then she is herself
the girl who never knew a mo-
ment of happiness until eight
years ago, when she ran away
from a Canadian orphanage and
walked to the United States.
In this country she got a job as
a waitress in cheap cafe. This
was the girl whose father beat her
terrifically, until she finally had
him jailed; the girl who MIXED
cows, fed pigs. and did other chores
on a ranch; the girl who has had
to battle for everything and yet
holds no hard feelings toward any
one; the girl who wants only hap
piness.
TN real life Rita is an athlete and
l. a home lover. She gets kick
out of cooking and even out of
washing dishes.
She loves anything with an ele-
ment of danger in it. There isn't
a broncho, no matter how wild, that
she won't ride.
She used to delight in doing dan
gerous stunts in an airplane until
studio officials forced her to stop
That's Rita in real life.

Rented for $40 Monthly
And when it was built by my

declared william M. lockwood, Sec

Manufacturing Company, and
grandson of the builder.
"a brickyard where our company's
offices stand now, 1900 English

about $4,000 in those days, but
later it couldn't be built for $4,000

JOBS FOR 800
IN STATE NEXT
Week PLEDGED
ST 100000 to Be Spent on
Construction of Crude
Oil Pipe Line.
WORK TO TAKE MONTH
Big Refinery May Be Built
Near City When Link
Is Completed.

Three hundred men will be ems
ployed in Indiana next week to lay
the state section of the crude oil
pipe line of the Gulf Pipe Line
Company of Pennsylvania that will
result in the expenditure of S1,000,-
600 in the state within the next few
months
Announcement that three groups
of laborers will start work next week
in various sections of Indiana was
made today by j. H. Dalton, super
visor of right-of-way for the COM
pany, subsidiary of the Gulf Oil
Corporation Of Pittsburgh.
The line, which is ten inches in
diameter and through which $4,000
barrels of crude oil will run daily,
crosses Indiana, passing near Green
wood, south of Indianapolis. The
trunk line will terminate at Dublin,
Ind, fifty miles east of Indianapolis.
From there a ten-inch line will run
to Lima. o., and an eight-inch
branch to Cincinnati.
Starts Near Tulsa
The line originates in oil fields
near Tulsa, Okla. and will be ex-
tended from Lima to Toledo ana
later to Pittsburgh, Dalton said.
The line enters Indiana near
Terre Haute and takes a northeast
path across the state, ending at
Dublin, where the other lines
branch.
At Dublin, six 10000 barrel ca
pacity tanks, to which the line will
be connected, already are under
construction on an eighty-eight-
acre tract purchased by Dalton.
Dublin will be the principal
terminal for the line in Indiana
with booster" stations near Green
wood and Jordan, in Owen county.
Dalton stated the company will
build homes for several employees
who will be stationed at the tank
farm and pumping station at
Dublin
May Build Refinery
He stated there was a possibility
of the company erecting a large re-
flnery near Indianapolis, following
operation of the line for a period
and survey of the needs of the
company in this section of the state.
Refineries already are under con-
struction at Cincinnati and Toledo.
he said.
The investment represented by the
line when it finally is piped into
Pittsburgh will be about $50,0OO,OOO,
Dalton declared.
In crossing Indiana, Dalton has
purchased right of way on farms,
averaging sections thirty feet wide.
The pipe will be laid at minimum
depth of twenty-four inches below
the ground and crosses rivers, roads
and railroads at right angles.
Work Starts Next Week
Work of one crew will sta on
the line at Dublin next week
work southwest Another grou.
will be employed at Greenwood, also
working southwest, and third at
the IllinoiS-Indiana line, working
northeast.
The distance of the line from
Dublin to the Indiana Illinois line
is approximately 1873 miles and adj
ditional mileage is added for the
branches to the Indiana-Ohio bor-
der from Dublin.
Dalton said the working crews
will lay an average of one and one
half miles of pipe daily in Indiana
and the job will be completed for
operation within month.
