Small, it was sald today, will stand on the_ opinion of his counsel and refuse to submit to arrest on warrants clurxlnl him with embezzlement, conspiracy and confidence game as a result of yester- day’s Indictments of the governor, Lieut. Park, IlL, banker. Opinions holding that the governor is immune from arrest were being drafted by his legal staff to be presented to Circuit Judge Smith later In the day. Vast Amounts Involved. The indictments charge the three men with conspiring to defraud the state of $2,000,000 and the embezsle- ment of $700,000, while Gov. Small is charged with the embezzlement of $500,000 and Lieut. Gov. Sterling is like amount. The bonds of Gov. Small and Lieut. Gov. Sterling were fixed at $150,000 each and those of Curtis at $100,000. The grand jury, which submitted a lengthy report, recommended that the legislature conduct an fnvestigation of the whole subject of the handling {of public funds to determine the of- ficial delinquency, if any, and to de- legislation should be enacted to protect the public funds. The jury found that during the terms of Gov. Small and Lieut. Gov. Sterling as treasurer the daily bal- ance In the state treasury fluctuated between $20,000.000 and _ $32,000,000, and, beginning with Small's adminis- tration, the balances were carried on { the books as two funds, a vault and 'a safe fund, the former representing vl?am to legitimate banking Institu- tions. Loans to Packers Charged. The report asserts the other fund ‘reureunled loans made to the Grant Park Bank, which, it says, ceased to {function as a bank after 1308. De- | posits _carried by the Grant Park Bank, the report asserted, were used to purchase short-term notes from { Chicago puckers, the total of which the jury found was $10,000,000. The loans to the packers earned, the jury reported, nearly 8 per cent, while Small and ‘Sterling, according to the report, pald over to the state less than 2 per cent, the remainder constituting the bulk of the state's interest money, which the jury { charges Small and Sterling with em- bezzling. Gov. Small issued a statement, in which he laid the entire blame for the indictments on his political enemies, and Lieut. Gov. Sterling, in a stat: ment, decidred he would welcome the opportunity to lay bare his record be- fore the public.

The end of th etariff fight in the House was dué today. A vote on the Fordney bill was scheduled for late in the day with passage regarded as assured in view of the heavy republican majority, which thus far has supported thc measure as a whole. There were prospects for a bitter last ditch fight, however, over some of the contested sections of the biil. which will be voted on again before the final O. K. is placed on the bill. Leather Tarift Killed. The House late yesterday killeq a proposed tariff on shoes and other leather goods ,which would have off- set the increase in the price of Taw products occasioned by the duty on hides. No further action can be taken on that under the speclal rule, and the free hides advocates expect to re- verse the action which put a tariff on_h'des. Defeat of the oil tax by the House, sitting as a committee of the whole, was regarded as somewhat decisive, and to restore it to its place on the dutiable list would require the chan, ing of a considerable number of vote Representative Chandler, republical of Oklahoma, who sponsored the of mild umvcru(un. winds. ‘West Virginia—Fair tonight and to- morrow; no change in temperature.
