Horton, mas ter in chancery, and Francis P. both Providence attor- neys, indicted after the so-called Rhode Island “divorce mill” investi- gation. Horton was named in 21 in dictments brought hy the grand jury and Dougherty in nine. «The indictments on which they were brought before Jerome Hahn and a fury in Superior Court for trial yesterday charged “conspiracy to de feat public justice by uttering and publishing a deposition which they knew to be a false, fraudulent and uhtrue deposition Emmanuel George Rands, the State's chief witness, who has been held in $10,000 bail since May 16, tes tified to having signed the deposition in the Thomas case, but denied knowledge of the contents of the depositfon carried above the signature “George Rands.” He declared statements contained in it false Sisson Heads Probe. Attorney General Charles P. Sisson, who conducted investigation into ap. proximately 100 divorce trials alleged to_ have involved chiefly New York residents, appeared personally and de- clared that the State would try to prove that the deposition signed by Rands, certified by Horton as master in chancery and presented by Francis P. Dougherty as attorney of record was fraudulent. Rands denied having been sworn by Horton or Dougherty and maintained that he was not the brother-in-law of Mrs. Thomas, that he had not known her and that she had not lived at his home for the past four years. The address given, he sall, was not his. He denied that Helen M. Rands, pur ported signer of another deposition and supposedly his wife, was married to him.

Canal in Chase After Theft of Pistol. — 1 In an effort to elude his pursuers and escape arrest on a charge of hav- Ing stolen a pisto! from the store of Joseph Shapirio, 3060 M street, early fast night, a young colored man, whose identity was not established, jumped overboard into the Chesapeake and ©Ohio Canal and was drowned. The al- leged stolen pistol was taken from the clothing of the dead man. Shortly before 8 o'clock the man ap- peared in the sporting goods store and asked to be shown a pistol. He took the first weapon shown him and start- ed from the store without paying for his purchase. Breaking away from persans in the store, the man ran along M street and Quickly turned in the direction of the canal. Looking behind and seeing two or three men in pursuit; he leaped into the water and made an effoft t6.swim 10 the south bank of the waterway. He sank before reaching the far side, however, and it was not for an hour that the body was recovered ADMfi'S KILLING WIFE. arles E. Monros, colored, for a_janitor in the public achools, admitted before Justice Siddons | in Criminal Division 1 that he killed his wife, Lucinda Monroe, at her home 5 Dix street northeast, in the early s of November 2.

Charge Accounts Invited Satisfactory Terms Arranged Special Diamond Offering NORTHWEST FACES POLITICAL STORM IN SENATE ELECTIONS (Continued from First Page.) Legislature of any State may em- power the executive thereof to make temporary appointment until the peo- ple fill the vacancies by election as the Legislature may direct.” The question is whether, in view of this language of the Constitution, the Governor of North Dakota is not com- pelled to issue writs of election to fill the present vacancy, in view of the fact that the Legislature has not pass- ed a law since the ratification of the constitutional amendment referring to flling vacancies in the Senate. O0ld Law May Hold Over. The oniy possible chance that the governor has authority to make an appointment is that the old law giving such authority when vacancles occur- red prior to the adoption of the sev- enteenth amendment holds over, it now appears. If a special election must be called in North Dakota this Summer or Fall, and at the same time a similar elec- tion is held in Wisconsin to fill Sena- tor La Follette's place. the Northwest will again become a storm center of political activity. The regular Repub- lican organization is intent upon fol- lowing up its vietory of last year in that section of the country, when évery State except Wisconsin cast its electoral vote for President Coolidge. In North Dakota it is not unlikely that the regular Republicans would put forward former Gov. L. H. Hanna, who managed the Coolidge campaign in that State last year. Whom the Non-Partisan Leaguers and Progres. sives will put forward fs not vet known here. Gos orlie, himself, might enter the race, or former Rep. | resentative Lemke. or the present Rep. resentative from the third district, James H. Sinclair, a Non-Partisan Leaguer, also a La Follette supporter in the campaign a vear ago. Regulars Face Hard Task. If tha regular Republicans—as op- posed to the progressive wing in the Northwest—can win one of these sena torfal contests it will be a decided set- back for the Progressives. But it is by no means sure that the reculars can accomplish this end. Even with President Coolidge running success fully in North Dakota last November, the Non-Partisan Leaguers elected their nominee for governor. This year there will be no national ticket in the | fleld The regular Republican organi zation, however, will stress the need of choosing Senators who will support the policies advanced by President Coolidge. The regular Republicans will be compelled to go into the primaries to nominate candidates for the Senate in North Dakota and Wisconsin, and they may never get beyond that stage, if the . Progressives do as they have | in the past and name their candidates | as Republicans | Read Out of G. 0.

The body of Senator Ladd of North Dakota was brought to Washington this afterncon from Baltimore, where he died yesterday. Two of the Senator's sons, Milton and Vernon, met the body at the sta- tion and accompanled it to an un- dertaking establishment, where ser ices will be held at 2 p.m. Thursda The casket was covered with flow- ers. After the services Thursday tenta- tive plans call for placing the body in a vault in Washington, to remain un- til it i{s taken to North Dakota for permanent burial. Mrs. Ladd and a son and daughter, Wwho were at the bedside when the Senator expired, returned to their home on the outskirts of Washington last night. Mrs. Ladd was serfously affected by her husband's death and it was decided to hold the body here for several weeks pending her recov- ery from the shock and exhaustion. The Senator’'s death was held due to kidney trouble which arose as a complication of neuritis and rheuma- tism for which he was being treated at the hospital. His condition be- came critical before friends here knew of his fllness and he died after a serions wethack during Sundav_night. Ladd and Frazier by the so-called reg- ulars. They scented an effort to put the conservatives in power wherever it was possible, and in the West par. ticularly. Any further attempts to read out of the Republican party Pro- gressives sent here, if they are sent hera, will be vigorously opposed, it is believed. The Progressives will feel keenly the loss of Senator Ladd. He was a Sena- tor of much ability and independence. To pick successors to La Follette and Ladd will be no easy task for them. Their loss may result in a real in- crease in strength on the part of the | regular wing of the Republican party. “CARRY ON NORRIS URGES.

The state. ment cited Washington as one of half a dozen large cities where sanitary conditions surrounding the sale and handling of meats by retall dealers were lacking. Dr. Fowler is understood to have advised Secretary Jardine in his let. ter that he was not aware of any insanitary conditions prevailing here, as described, and to have asked that the department farnish him with spe. stances of improper kales or handling, so that the offenders might be punished that Mrs. La Follette hecome a can didate, but she has made no publ announcement as her attitude. | Meantime, the names of several prom- | inent persons in the State organiza- tions have been discussed, including Blaine, Fred Zimmerman, secra tary of State, and Representative John M.
