Diversion of Pay Funds to
Absentee Employees Held
Conspiracy.

By Scripps-Howdrd Newspaper AUj0Hcc
WASHINGTON, Oct. Swell
informed authorities on the United
States criminal code are of the opin-
ion that senator's and congressman,
who have been in the habit of
diverting their personal patronage
funds for clerk hire to absentee en-
ployes, or for those who have
rendered no services for their pay,
are subject to indictment for con-
Spiracy
Numerous instances have come to
light in the past two years, since
the issue of nepotism and abuse of
the patronage pay roll have chal-
lenged public attention in which
members of congress have employed
relatives and others. who have not
resided in Washington or rendered
any return for their compensation.
Hiring Other Help
Other instances have been dis
closed in which members have adj
mitted that while the funds went
to relatives, the money or a part of
it was used to hire other clerks.
Charges also have been made that
some clerks or secretaries have had
to return part of their remuneration
to the members employing them.
Section Otis of the United States
criminal statutes, under which any
action against those guilty of split
ting wages or otherwise converting
public funds to purposes not en-
braced within the law would fall.
in the view of those who have
studied the matter, reads as fol-
lows:
9715. Conspiracy to commit of
Tense against the United States. -
If, two or more persons conSpire
either to commit any offense against
the United States, or to defraud
the United States in any manner
or for any purpose, and one or more
of such parties do any act to effect
the object of the conspiracy, eacn
of the parties to such conspiracy
shall be fined not more than $4,000
or imprisoned not more than two
years, or BOTH
COnspiring Charge Possible
No money may be obtained from
the government by any worker
without taking of federal oath
for performance of duty and sign
ing = voucher for its receipt.
Thus. it is contended that an
overt act of conspiracy takes place
when any senator or congressman
enters into an agreement with any
employe to accept clerical wages
for which no service is given or
which are to be surrendered in
whole or in part to any other per-
son.

GOVERNOR GIVES
DIM HOPE FOR
LUESSE LIBERTY
Tells Citizens Group He
Will Consider Matter If
Judge Baker Approves.

GHmmer Of hope for the release
NJ Theodore Luesse, unemployed
leader. from the Indiana state farm
at some time before he has served
out his entire $500 fine. in addition
To the year sentence already served,
doomed today.
For Governor Harry @. Leslie told
q group Of representative citizens
seeking release of Luesse that he
would consider the matter. if Judge
Frank Baker approved and Luesse
would behave himself at the farm.
Luesse was sentenced by Baker
because it is alleged he urged a
group Of the unemployed to return
furniture to house from which a
family was evicted.
Leslie told the delegation calling
on him Tuesday that he didn't make
the eviction law. nor was he sure Of
the Justice Of it, but given Luesse
into state custody, 1t was up to him
to see that he obeyed the farm rules,
Says Luesse Is Arrogant
fLuesse is more arrogant now
than when he was sent to the farm, =
The Governor told them. He de-
liberately will break rules and scoff
at the administrators. He was
placed in solitary confinement for
striking guard.
Surely I can not release a man
who misbehaves like that, and ex-
poet to retain any discipline among
the 1000 other prisoners there
The delegation agreed with the
Governor on that point.
But pleas we're made for Luesse's
release on the grounds that he is
somewhat Of a political prisoner"
and placed IN jail for his radical
views
Luesse Is the Communist candi-
date for Governor.
Spokesman for the group appear
ing before Leslie was the Rev Bert

matter on humanitarian grounds
Appeal Second to Leslie
Samuel Nathanson was on hand

ing tn the Governor that Luesse on
three occasions gave blood trans

fused to accept money for this,
NathanSon said.
Should he be released Nathanson
assured the chief executive that he
will give him employment.
"A man who would do what he
did can not be all bad, Nathanson
pointed out.
Other members OF the delegation
were Attorneys Joseph Morgan and

made to the Governor without any

NEW CASTLE CUTS
LIVE STOCK RATE
Assessment Board on Horses,
Mules and Cattle Reduced
From 75c to SOC Head
CHANGE is WELCOMED

In line with the general desire
to reduce taxation wherever pos
sible, especially where hardship is
worked, the New Castle County
Assessment Board at its recent
regular meeting decided to slash
the assessment upon livestock in
New Castle county, cutting the as
sessment upon horses, mules, and
cattle from SIS a head to $50
head. This is a one-third reduc-
ton. The cut is for the taxable
year 1892, and was made at the
suggestion of General ]. Austin
Ellison, member of the Board.
General Ellison declared that the
high assessment upon livestock
had grown into a real burden, since
sales show that the prices of cat
tie and horses are down, while
farm products, particularly milk,
have been lowered in price. It was
also pointed out that the reduction
was really due because the in
crease had been made only three
years ago, just before the depres-
sion began. The increased assess
ment then placed on livestock is
now being removed. Farmers
throughout the county will well
come this rather considerable re-
duction in assessment. Shrinkage
of the value of live stock, and the
general reduction of farm prices
have all helped to cut down the
narrow margin upon which the av-
erage farmer works, and any
method whereby what have been
fixed expenses are lessened will be
a real boon. The saving will be
extensive, the total reduction of
live stock assessment through ac-
tion of the Assessment Board
reaching S51O,388. The live stock
assessments for 1881 in the vari-
Gus hundreds were as follows:
Brandywine, S1O5.775; Christiana,
$1S8,125; Mill Creek, S196,000;
White Clay, $83 300; New Castle,
S138,5OO; Red Lion, S79,4O5; Pen
cader, S16S, $50; St. Georges, $685.
SIS; Appoquinimink, $179,O00;
Blackbird, $135.425. The total as
sessment for the county was ST.
31,155. The County Assessment
Board is alive to the fact that tax
alton that was easily met several
years ago means, in many cases.
real hardship at this time, and
wherever possible, they propose to
do all in their power to reduce the
burden.

GENERAL MOTORS
IN TRADE BOOST
Nation Wide Drive to Be
Launched Saturday, April
2, From New York
EXHIBITS IN 55 CITIES

Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of
General Motors Corporation an
nounced last week the corporation
will launch on April 2 one of the
most aggressive campaigns ever
attempted by an industrial enter
prise to stimulate business. The
corporation will open exhibits 81
multaneously in 55 leading cities
throughout the country, having en-
gagged the largest auditorium avail
able in each city. The exhibits
will continue through April 9, and
will be accompanied by large-scale
advertising campaigns. Some 70
orchestras and more than 100000
square feet of floor space have
been engaged. Mr.. Sloan explain
ed the plans as follows: This pro-
gram was conceived and has been
developed as a direct and aggres-
sive attack upon existing psychol-
ogy-the prevailing attitude OF
waiting for something to happen
before anything is done. AS long
as this attitude of mind prevails
we are bound to go downward
When it changes we are bound to
start upward. There are too many
who can afford to buy who lack
confidence or believe it to be the
thing not to do. There are also
too many who have in mind doing
something constructive but are
waiting to do it some time later
To my mind the automotive in
dustry as a whole has shown great
aggressiveness and courage in in
vesting tens of millions of dollars
in new and progressive products
resulting in by far the greatest
values ever offered and probably
greater relative values than can be
offered for many years to come,
If this fact could only be appreci-
ated and capitalized by those who
are in position to do SO by pur-
chasing, this industry great
est in the country, distributing as
it does its purchasing power
throughout every state in the
union would broadcast wave OF
increased industrial activity which
through its accumulative effect
would exert a far-fung influence
toward reaching the necessary OBJ
iective. General Motors makes its
contribution toward this objective
in the form of these nationwide
exhibitions with the firm belief
that a better appreciation of the
above facts is bound to be for
ward step in the direction that we
must CO." While the corporation
declined to make public at this
time the amount of expenditure
planned, it is reported that the
program calls for some $1,500,0O0

AWARD BIDS FOR KENT JAIL
Defer Equipment Contract Until
the Next Meeting

A special session of the Kent
County Levy Court was held at
Dover Thursday afternoon to
award the bids opened on Tuesday
for Kent county's new jail, equip
ment, etc. Due to some apparent
misunderstanding on the Jail
equipment bid, the award on this
contract was deferred until regu-
lar meeting of the court. The bid
of refrigerating machines was also
deferred until this week. A def
ference of S343 on the Jail equip
ment bid between the Stewart
Arms Works Company of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, low bidders and the
VanDorn Iron Works of Cleveland,
Ohio, caused the postponement in
awarding this bid. The bids award
ed Thursday included the general
base bid for construction to James
A. Hirons of Dover, at S31, ,694.62,
this being the amount after deduc-
tions of alternates includes in the
specifications. Hirons' original bid
was over $4,000. The award for
plumbing and heating was made to
Alfred S. Biggs,' of Dover, at the
contract price of $1,000. The cleo
trical work was awarded to E. L.
Jones & Company, of Dover, they
being the second lowest bidder at
5000. The cork insulation bid
was given to the United Cork
Company, Lyndhurst, N. j., $575.
AS soon as Hirons completes his
bond, work on the construction of
the new Jail will begin.

Savants Are Puzzled by
Big Oyster Shell Mounds

Damariscotta, Maine.-Scientists
are seeking an explanation of the
existence of a huge mound Of fresh
water oyster shells along the Da-
mariscotta river.
Some of the shells are eight to
ten inches across. No shellfsh of
the sort is to be found in this sec
ton. DR.. Lloyd Fisher Of Bates col
lege theories that the mound may
antedate the glacial advances cen
turtles ago and that the shells were
left by huge birds that gathered the
oysters for food and then dropped
the shells from the air to break
them against rocks.
Another theory is that the mound
accumulated as a result of frequent
banquets of Indians at this point.

ASK FOR NEW HIGHWAY
Sussex Residents Ask For Gravel
Road from Milton to Georgetown

Residents of Broadkiln district
are asking the State Highway De

missioners to build a gravel high
way from Milton to Georgetown by
way of Sand Hill M. E. Church,
four miles from Georgetown. The
farmers and business men are
much interested in the project for
it will greatly shorten the distance
from Milton to the county seat.
It's immaterial to the people of
that section which of the highway
departments build the road so long
as they get it. Plans are under
way at this time to build an i'm
proved road from the intersection
of the Milford-Rehoboth Beach
concrete highway to Broadkiln
Beach, a popular little resort on
the Delaware Bay, about eight
miles from Milton. 1t is figured
that with a good road leading to
the resort it will take on new life
and within few seasons many
more cottages will be erected. 9th
er improvements are contemplated
at the resort. Broadkiln Beach for
many years has been a favorite
rendezvous for Milton residents
and former folk of Broadkiln dis
trict. All that has been needed to
make it one of the leading small
resorts of lower Delaware has been
for capitalists to take hold of it
and make extensive improvements
such as the placing of boardwalk
lights and other improvements.
