10 LIBERTY OFFERED SCOIT, WIFE SAYS Could Have Escaped for $5,000, She Avers, Charging Plot to Divert Public. By the Associated Press. CHICA ., May 24—On the eve of Russell Scott's return to Cook County to face the gallows for the slaying of a drug clerk, his wife has injected an element in her fight to save him by declaring that Scott could have walked to freedom from Chester Penitentiary for the Insane through the payment of $5,000. In a statement made in the office of her attorney, William Scott Stewart, Mrs. Scott said it appeared that her husband was being brought back to Chicago =o that the new legal proceed- ings might divert public interest from the pardon and parole investigation. Time Payments Offered. “The last time T saw Russell he told me that for $5.060 cash he could ar- range an escape,” Mrs. Scott related. “I told him 1 didn't have a cent. Later 1 was informed that if I could get $100 a month it could be fixed so that he would be held at Chester as insane until $5,000 in all was paid, after which he would be permitted to escape.” Efforts to obtain the money in Michigan were unsuccessful, Mrs. Scott said. About months ago a letter came in which Scott told her to expect a visitor who would ask her about the fund. “1 was walking along the street two days later and a vily built man, who looked like a prize fighter, stopped me and asked me if 1 would be able tn raise the $5.000. vain efforts. He =aid it was too that they could wait no longer, left me.” Scott is scheduled to appear before Chief Justice William V. Brothers of Criminal Court tomorrow on a writ through which the s attorney’s office_expects to have a new date set for him to bée hanged. The pardon and parole quiz gets un- der way again this week in Chicago and Joliet, with the Will County grand Jury scheduled to hear Gov. Small to- morrow. The Cook County jury will hear evi- dence which State's Attorney Crowe said shows Illinois prisons were can- vassed in search of convicts with enough money to purchase their free- dom through a “parole mill.” NEW HEALTH MOVEMENT MAY BE ORGANIZED HERE Meeting Tonight to Consider Con- ditions in Crowded Sections of City.

A powerful set OVERSEAS DRY CARGO TRADE IS INCREASING Shows Activity in Better Light, Shipping Board Bureau of Research Says. Notwithstanding that total tonnage volume was less during 1925 than in 1923 and 1924, American overseas dry cargo trade at the end of the five year period ended December 31, 1925, was more favorable than at any other time during that period, the Bureau of Research of the Shipping Board an- nounces. “Overseas dry cargo trade” refers to ocean traffic of general cargo ves- sels with KEurope, Asia, Africa, Australia and South America as dis- tinguished from trade with Canada and countries contingent to the Carib- bean Sea and shipments of oil in tankers. The overseas dry cargo trade being generally regarded as the real measure of American activity in ocean com- merce, the bureau pointed out, the ap- parently unfavorable turn in the coun- try’s ocean commerce dwindles in im- portance when it is noted that Amer- jcan dry cargo trade in December, 1925, was exceeded only once during the five years, that being.due to ab- normal conditions in September, 1922, when unusually large coal xhhtmenls resulted from the coal strike.

By the Assoclated Press. MAYSVILLE, Ky., May 24.—George Remus, natlonally known “bootleg king,” lost the opening round in his flght to establish his claim to owner- ship of 2,000 barrels of whisky stored in the H. E. Pogue distillery here when Federal District Judge A. M. J. Cochran granted an injunction pre- venting him from moving the whisky from the distillery. Remus’ clalm to ownership of the ‘whisky is contested by Matt J. Hinkle of Cleveland, who holds the warehouse receipts for the liquor. Remus claims that the receipts were illegally sold by his wife, Mrs. Imogene Remus, with- out authority while he was confined in the Atlanta penitentiary for viola- tion of the national prohibition laws. Remus started the movement of the whisky from the Pogue distillery on May 8. Hinkle, through his attorneys, immediately’ obtained a restraining order from Judge Cochran‘and yester- day the court granted an injunction preventing Remus from removing the liquor from the warehouse. This, at- torneys said, virtually established Hinkle'’s ownership to the liquor. BOY IN CAR SLAIN. Fired on From Speeding Auto. No Motive Learned.
