INDICTMENT.
:STANDS, JUDGE y
HOWE RULES
Despite the Fact That Overt
Acts Were Prior to
Bankruptcy.
One of the most imrfi-tant bank-
ruptcy decisions handed down in the
local, United States district court for
some time was given out yesterday by
Judge Harlan )3. Howe in the case of
John Fine and lsadore Weiss. charg-
ed with conspi'zicy to conceal assets
in bankruptcy. Judge Howe ruled
that a true bill of indictment had
been found despite the fact that the
overt acts charged took place prior to
the actual adjudication in bankrupt-
CY.
The decision was given in answer to
a motion filed by counsel for the do-
fsndants to quash the indictment and
argued before Judge Howe Mondd‘y
afternoon by Assistant United States
Attorney George II. Cohen. In the
complaint against the defendants it
is charged that assuts in the form of
shoes and clothing valued at over
3130,!)th were concealed.
The decision is ‘ particularly inter-
esting in view of the fact that it is
directly opposite in import to one
handed down last spring by Judge
Edwin S. Thomas in the famous
Welssman case which involved six-
0
\
teen defendants and about $1,500,000.'
As a result? of Judge Thomas' deci-
sion the indictment against the dc-
fendants in the \Vcissman case was
quashed and the case is now on its
way to the supreme court of the
United States on a writ of error so-
cured by the government.

OIL PROMOTERS
USE SCIENCE
(Continued from Page One)
Dry wr-lls—Iiinprofltalile wells--all
minimized, and huge {rinks built in
advance to receive the output of gush-
ers from pro-determined natuial
storehouses!
Now in Bankruptcy.
One man who used this scheme has
promoted 17 oil companies in the brief
span of seven years. Recently hr filed
a petition in bankruptcy—and also re-.
pudiated the claims he had made forT
his scientific oil-discoverer.
The mmivrnived divining rod on
which gullible; investors riskcd and
lost their anllI'V was dcscrmcr! by :i
promoter in a. rrospcctus as follows:
"It is a mechanical invention de-
signed for using the wireless method
of tuning into (‘iiit'rt‘ili waves or vi-
brations from crude oil and the am-
plificatic’i {Hui r ensuring of the wave
energy so as to scioniiflcwllv locate and
(it-tine the oildicnring strata and the
probable volume. depth and extent of
petroleum deposits in the earth."
Another wild-cutter sold stock in
such a “scientific oil—finding" scheme
on the promise that “the possibilities
of a 3100 share of this stock is a
thousand times greater than the pos-
sibilities of a share of Standard Oil
stock ever was.” His first well was a
dry hole—and everybody lost their
money. '

SAN FRANCISCO.-—Working girls
of America have a. “lady friend" in
Congress now—an ex-member of their
sisterhood of tail. _
And politics has something entirely
new in the election of‘Mrs. Mae Ella
Nolan to the seat of her husband. the
late Congressman John I. Nolan.
Voters of the Fifth California. dis-
trict have declared the wire of a pub-
lic official. who has keptin touch with
his malts, should succeed him to of-
fice. That was the direct issue in the
campaign. "
“They have not elected me. so much
as they have declared in favor of the
work my husband was carrying on
when death took him." is Mrs. Nolan's
attitude.
. "I was a working girl when 1 mar-
ried John. I know what work is.
That's why my heart is with the work-
ing people—-the girls. the child labor-
ers, all the masses. ‘
"I favor light wines and beer. You
see. I'm a liberal. Every one knew
John was."
President Harding may have origin-
ated the “front porch" campaign. but
Mrs. Nolan introduced the “front par-
lor” campaign.

is going to be one that will be remem-
bered for many days after it. closing.
and will make the winners of the
three cars view with even greater
pride the prize that will be theirs. be-
cause of the fight that was necessary
to‘ win it. '
Nor is this condition confined only
to those working in the city. Some of
the out-of-town workers have drawn
about themselves this cloak of over-
coniidence. and are confronted with
the town folks.
Perhaps all this is for the best, at
least those who are doing their real
work at this stage of the campaign
will agree that it is. At any rate it
has permitted those who were away
to a late start. to place themselvvs in
a position where they are within
striking distance of the winning goal.
The big test will come with the end
of this week. Then it should be ap-
parent Just who are going to finish
with some semblance of a winning
chnncc. Those who take advantage of
the big votes of the second period that
prevail from now until 8 o'clock Sat-
urdayunight are going tto be within

thing possi in to make themselves

three days will have an important
bearing on the decision tlr, judges will

As a last word. do not overlook any
of the promised subscriptions that
can swell vour voto reserve if turned

GAS STILL LEAKING.
Employes of the Connecticut Light
and Power company have been en-
deavo'ring to locate a bad break in
the gas main on Wall street near Main
street for the past twenty-four hours.
The break appears to be a bad one
and as the result of it. stores and
offices in the Comemrcial building
have been filled with illuminating gas.
It was thought at first that the
break was directly in front of the
Commercial building. A gang of
laborers was placed at work and an
excavation made. The break. how-
ever, could not be found at that place.
It is expected that it will be located
this afternoon however. 3
