Weyerhaeuser Investigation

The old problem Of parole for pris-
oners--a topic fraught with contro-
versy--has been thrust to the front
again by the Weyerhaeuser kidnapping.

mon NJ. valley, seized in the kidnap-
ing, and William Mahan, now being
hunted, were both paroled from places
Of detention In the past.
Irony tinges Hoover's voice as he
declares both men had magnificent

parole finds q strong defender in San

Hoover said the fugitive Mahan was
first sentenced for auto theft in Mon
tana in 1928 He was given q two-to-
four-year term, but was paroled in a
year and q month, according to rec
Ords here.
Late In 1927 Mahsn was sentenced
to 20 years for robbery at Boise, Idaho.
Federal records fail to show how he
was released, but say he was wanted
for bank robbery by Washington State
authorities at Centralia and Olympia
in April, 1894, less than eight years
after he was sentenced the second
time.
WhaIey Arrested Seven Times.
Valley, who Is "A, had been arrested
seven times before he was captured
for the recent kidnapping, records here
say. He was sent to the Chehalis
(WaSh.) Reform School in 1929 for
burglary at Aberdeen, Wash. Six
months later, at Boise, he drew q J.
to-l5-year term for first-degree bur-
glary. In June, 1881, at Olympia, he
won suspension Of 2-to-15-year SEN
tence for second-degree burglary.
Three months after this Valley was
sentenced to 2 to Is years at Walla
Walla, Wash, for grand larceny. Two
years later Valley was jailed at Salt

lined up solidly with the court. They
figured out that defense of the Con-
stitution Us 1t Ia written, Of the

people could understand. They went
to 1t and then came up with q chal-
lenge to the President and the New
Dealers to try to put over O. change

the Federal Government more power
over the States and individuals.
If any one had an idea the Mid
west conference was launched to adj
vance the possible candidacy Of former
President Herbert Hoover for re-
nomination. certainly nothing like
materialized. His name was men
toned only once In the conference,
an outstanding thing when 1t Is real
lied that Mr.. Hoover is still the titular
head Of the Republican party. But
neither was his name mentioned ct

Republicans In Boston, attended by
delegates. from the New England
States
Administrator Criticized.
The denomination OF Mr.. Hoover has
at present no general support In the
Midwest. In fact, q suggestion that
Mr.. Hoover, might get into the. race IL
not at all well received here. The
one time that his name was men,
toned in sessions OF the conference
and its committees was before the
Resolutions Committee, when Wallace
Caldwell, Cook County commissioner
Cook County IL Chicago), presented
resolution which criticized not only
the Roosevelt administration, but also
the Hoover one, The committee took
no action, but the incident raised some
talk. -
: It would be incorrect to SAY that
there was no talk among these dele
gates about presidential possibilities.
But IT was much less than might have
been expected.
Col. Frank Knox of Chicago, pub
Usher Of the Daily News, had his
boosters. That was natural, with q
large number Of Illinois men and
women here. Supporters OF Repre-
sentative Hamilton Fish Of New York
were active. Delegates and some other
prominent Republicans from Kansas
were quietly passing the word along
that in Gov. All NJ. Landon OF, the
Sunflower State the Republicans
could find the right man. or Senator
Borah and Senator Vandenburg also
there was talk. But 1t all boiis down
to the fact that there has been no
great scrystalization of sentiment for
any Of these candidates 80 far In this
Midwest country.
Farley Held On Regional One.
The conference was conceived and
carried out with the idea that 1t was
to be regional, not national. It is true
that many members of the National
Committee from other than the 10
States taking part in the conference
came to attend "a guests. But none Of
them had anything to say in the con.
ference sessions. The only national
note was q message from Chairman

journed yesterday, congratulatingi the

Dr Edwin H. Forbes, 84, former ly of Hartford and founder of the present public school system in Torrington, died Sunday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs Leslie E. McCuen of Forest Hills N. Y, after an illness of three days.
 One of the prime movers in the Connecticut State Teachers Retire. ment Association, Dr Forbes was for 40 years prominent in educa- tional work in this state, 30 years of which he was principal of the Torrington high school and super intendent of public schools. He travelled extensively and was lec- turer of note on travel and scien- tif1c subjects. During his service in this state Dr Forbes was particu- larly active towards improving laws relating to public schools and in providing more modern courses of study.
 Born December 12, 1850, in New Britain, Dr Forbes was descended from Governor Bradford of the Plymouth company and traced his ancestry to John Carpenter of Lon don. England, in 1903. He pre- pared for Yale at the Hartford public high school and was gradu- ated from the Sheffield Scientific School in 1874. He was secretary of his class there at the time of his

AUTO ACCIDENT
 CAUSESTYPHOID
Man Thrown Into Polluted Stream Mystery Near.
 Iy Baffled Investigator

One of those strange believe-it- or-not cases that come to the att tentloi of shealth authorities every now and then was reported by the State Department of Health in its weekly bulletin today. In this par ticuiar instance, case of typhoid fever resulted from an automobile accident. < There is no other ex- planatfon, for it's occurrence.
 The victim, a man, came down with typhoid fever about nine days after the accident. A careful in- vestigation of the case was made, but no source of infection could be found. No member of the pa- tient's family had been i'll or gave a history of. illness. The patient had not made. out-of-town visits. nor had. there been any visitors at his home who might handle food and convey the infection to him. No carrier could be found, Nor history could be obtained of eating foods that might have been hand led by an infected person or car- rier.
 The germ detective or epidemic logist who was investigating the case for the department began to see visions of failure in locating the source until he remembered the auto accident. Going into the deails of the crash, he discovered that the car in which the patient had been riding nine days before had slxidded on ice and in so do- ing had catapulted the man into polluted stream near the road. He was stunned by the shock but was rescued by fellow passengers. Apparently he had swallowed enough of the polluted water to cause the typhoid infection.
 The moral of hte story, com- ments the bulletin satirically, is that if you are determined to have an auto accident, you should ar- range for 1t at a place where you will not be thrown into a polluted stream. Seriously, the bulletin urged public support for efforts to prvent pollution of Connecticut streams, for there are many such bodies of water in the State which are not safe to drink. E
