FAIL AGAIN IN
EFFORT TO SET
LUESSE FREE
Penal Farm Board Holds
Up Action; Calls Him
Worst Prisoner

Efforts to free Theodore Luesse
of indianapolis from the state
penal farm where he has served
more than a year for interfering
with eviction of Negro family in
April, 1890, have failed again.
| After consideration of the case
Thursday night, the board of trus-
tees of the farm took it under ad-
visement.
The action, board members stated,
was taken, because, it is charged.
Luesse has broken many rules Of
the institution, and lost 140 days
OF good behavior time" as a result.
Members of the board are: Roy
Abrams, Greencastle; John G.
Klingler, Brazil; and Clyde N.
Chattin, Union City.
John T. Boyd. chairman, was alb
sent Thursday night. and his place
was taken by Clifford Craig, super
intendent of the farm.
Luesse was sentenced to the farm
/ for a year by Judge Frank P. Baker
of Marion criminal court, and was
fined $500. Completing the sentence.
Luesse was held at the farm to serve
out the fine at the rate of 81 day.
Repeatedly, Governor Harry G.
Leslie has been asked to free the
prisoner, since the filing of petit
ton signed by seven business men.
six Protestant ministers, Catholic
| priest, and two Jewish rabbis. but
on various grounds has refused to
act.
In this connection, the most re-
cent event was action of Baker in
agreeing to release provided
Luesse would promise to obey the
law.
When this was presented to Les
lie, be passed the case on to the
farm trustees.
Pleading for release, Milton Siegel,
an attorney, after stating that many
Indianapolis citizens favor it, de-
clared:
Many are of the opinion that
the unwarranted severity of LuesSe's
sentence and fine is to be explained
better by his political and economic
views than for his violation of the
laws of the state of Indiana"
LuesSe was the Communist can
didate for Governor of Indiana in
the election Tuesday.
His whole attitude has been de-
faint" Craig charged. HE has at
tempted to carry on agitation with
in the prison, and at one time al
most started riot i'll the dining
ROOM
Il think he is the worst prisoner
at the farm since 1 have been on
the board" Abrams said.
Il wonder what was the idea of
Judge Baker, who sentenced him.
in giving him a sentence of that
length Klinger remarked.
The board was told that LueSse,
if released, will be given employ
ment by Samuel Nathanson, a mer-
chant. LueSse gave blood used in
TRANSMISSION for a little daughter
of Nathanson, who was near death.

English Pound Scars
Banks were closed in several

Late in the day the pound ster-

Dutch guilders and Swedish kroner
Belgas declined.
Weekly trade reviews were inter
preted as encouraging. Dun's said
General business during the week
reflected the impact of the quadri-
ennial election and Armistice day
but most branches of trade held
up surprisingly well, in the face OF
unsettlement that is an expected
concomitant of such a political per-
iod."

on the issue were around 10000

An emergency in Rockville is taken
merely as a everyday occurrence and

traffic but for little while. Monday
morning the county seat awoke to the
fact town officials meant business
when feet of trucks and a gang of
workmen attacked the accumulation
of snow with a vigor that could not
be denied, Mayor D. M. Blandford
personally supervised the work, stay

Merchants, business men and prop

of which approximately $25 was used
to defray the cost of paying labor.
The Mayor has explained that the

500 Families Will
Receive Food And
Clothing Christmas
Rockville Rotary Club Among
Organizations To Aid
. Needy

A canvass by the Montgomery
County Social Service League shows
about 500 families needing food and
clothing for Christmas. The Rockville
Rotary Club and the Mutual Improve
ment Association of Sandy Spring
have provided funds to care for 2 OF
the 20 families listed in "Twenty
Xmas Opportunities"
While that number is by far the
greatest the league and the various
other philosophical bodies have ever
been called upon to provide for, vast
relief program which will amply care
for the needs of the poor has been
prepared and is ready to be carried
out.
Volunteer firen1en, churches, schools
civic clubs, and fraternal orders will
assist the Social Service League in
giving food and clothing to the desti-
tute, while countless thousands of
toys have been donated and repaired
by school children for the youngster
of the county whose parents are too
poor to buy them playthings.
The majority of the relief work of

The original Damascus Methodist

residents Of the community who had
been attending services in the Mt.
Lebanon school house. Browns Chapel
and Thompson's school house. The
building was erected under the direc-
tion of John R. Mount. The church
was attached to the Montgomery Cir
cult, with the Rev. Jas. D. Still as
pastor, assisted by the Rev. Downey
Monroe Browning. The hailstorm Of
1899 damaged the building so that a
new one was required. This was erect
ed by A. C. Warthen, contractor, in
that year, under the pastorate of the
Rev. ]. Henry Marsh. This was anoth4
er one room building, with a seating
capacity Of $50, The need for more
room forced the present improvement,
which was begun during the past
summer by Howard Watkins, contrac-
tor, with Harold Ward as the archi.

The present plant provides a san

a room providing accommodation for
one hundred children during the Sun
day School session, and still smaller
room for the younger children. The

kitchen space. The members Of the
building committee were DR.. George

Clifton Stanley, Morgan H. Watkins,
Bradley M. Woodfield, and the min
lister, Rev. W. Clark Main. Mr.. Main
