NIGHT LIFE CAUSES
GRAND JURY INQUIRY
First Grand Jury In Twenty Y’ears Call
ed to Investigate Jazz Craze in
Wyoming Town.
Laramie. Wyo., Feb. 1. —This city, in
fact, all of Albany county, agog with
excitement.
And it is all because District Jiulg o
V. .T. Tibball, at the request of county
attorney, S. C. Downey, has ordered a
grand jury to convene- It is the first
time jn 20 years that a grand jury had
been ordered in this county.
Modern youth, “petting parties,”
saxaphones, jazzmania, highballs, cock
tails, the hip dance, and other things
that go along with wild night life in
even a tame country town are some of
the reasons given for calling of the
grand jury.
For weeks wagging tongues have
' buffeted about a wave of racy gossip
concerning night life in Laramie. Staid
women who in their youth knew as
much about a “shingle bob" as Columbus
did of submarines have shaken their
collective heads in doubt as they “<sat
in” at their afternoon knitting sessions.
Here and there, a preacher, a bit more
daring than the rest, gently would skirt
the subject in a sermon on youth and
jazzmania. All agreed that something
must be done to separate the boys and
gir!e from automobiles, the public dance
and the semi-public cup that cheers.
“Petting parties” of the 'teen ages in
traditionally tame and sober Laramie
must cease. And so—

He Had. Announced That He
Was There to “Raise Cain
and I Am Going to Do It
a Plenty.”
Herrin. 111., Feb. 2 (By the Associated
Press). —Si ill tense after the recent
slayings of S. Glenn Young, and Ora
Thomas, the situation here was further
strained yesterday when a policeman shot
and killed a gunman who had been seen
with anti-Ku Klux Klan leaders, and
who wore a hat bearing the name of
Sheriff George Gnlligan, Klan opponent,,
who has before Governor Leji Small a de
mand that Williamson county be put un
der martial law.
) Rufus Whitson, the policeman, was
I absolved of blame by a coroner’s jury
which decided he had but done his duty.
The gunman, unknown in Herrin, met
death while in a rough and tumble fight
with Policeman Jim Stephens, who, al-
I though wounded in the shoulder by a
pistol bullet, disdained to use his own
pistol. Whitson took advantage of a
momentary break in the holds of the
two men to put a bullet through the
gunman’s hack.
Sheriff Qglligpn said the gunman ap
peared at the county jail and said he
was a government agent with special du
ties to perform. The sheriff said that
the hat he wore was taken from the jail
without permission. In the Lymar Hotel,
where he was killed, the gunman an
nounced that he was there to “raise cain
and am going to do it aplenty.” Be
fore he was accosted by Stephens the
gunman menaced all persons in the hotel
lobby and dining room with his pistol.
The coroner’s jury will continue today
its investigation into the shooting, the
thirteenth the past year .preceded by the
massacre- in June, 1022, of twenty-two
non-union . miners.
MISS ETHEL LEGINBKA~
IS FOUND WITH FRIENDS
Officers. However. Decline to Reveal
Just Where She Has Been located
New York. Feb. I.—Eth 1 Leginska.
English pianist, who vanished last Mon
day night has been found outside of
New Y'ork city in the care of friends,
the police announced today, but just
where she is has not been revealed- Her
disapj>earanee is said to have been caus
ed by a nervous breakdown due to over
work.
In announcing the finding of Miss
Leginska, Captain John Ayers, of the
bureau of missing persons here, issued
a statement saying:
“Ethel Leginska was Located Sunday
at a place outside New York where she
is staying with friends. Her disappear
ance appeared to have been the direct
result of a nervous Dreakdown caused
by overwork.
“Leginska remembers nothing from
the time she left here Sunday, with Miss
Liu-ile Oliver, until she was loented.
“On request of Miss L,eginskn the lo
cation of her friends is withheld, s 6
that she might not be bothered by repre
sentatives of the press.”
Mi ss Oliver is a close friend of the I
pianist and it was she who first, report
ed the disappearance to the police. Miss
Oliver said that, she and Miss Leginska
started from their apartment to Carne
gie hall where Miss Leginska was to
give a recital and that, while Miss Oliv
er went to got a taxicab Miss Leginska
disappeared. ’*
At first the incident was regarded
somewhat dubiously and as a possible
•publicity stunt. It was recalled that
Miss Leginska had disappeared in much
the same manner 15 years ago in Lon
don. But whert her absence lengthened
into days the police search became more
energetic!
Miss lieginska generally is conceded
to be in the first rank of musicians. She
is one of the few women who success
fully has conducted orchestras.

Chicago. Feb. 2. —R. Sayre, a realtor,
has announced that Philadelphia will be
a catless city in the near future. Mr.
Sayre just lives to destroy eats. He not
only lives to destroy cats, but lives to
induce all other persons to kill cats.
He holds cats up afi the enemy or the
human race, explaining this in a pam
phlet he has written. When he talks
cats he goes on high and speeds-
He is offering a bounty on the scalps
of cats, but has not paid out much in
this direction yet.
He names all the sins medical men
blame on cats and then adds a score
more. They are a menace to children as
disense-bearers and have killed off half
the songbirds in Michigan. He hopes a
catastrophe will hit the next cat show.
Mr. Sayre does not differentiate between
the cat aristocrat and the alley cat.
They are all just cats to him. He is car
rying on a wide campaign by mail.

. THE CASES OF GASTON
MEANS ANI) T. B. FELDER
“, Each Is Granted a Stay of Ninety Days
j to Prepare Writs of Error and Ap
peal.
New York World ,31st.
Gaston B. Means, for whom a dappled
career as “international investigating
genius,” department of justice agent,
murder trial defendant and senatorial in
vestigation witness has gained national
notoriety, and Thomas B. Felder, wide
ly known New York lawyer and friend
or former Attorney General Daugherty,
were found guilty yesterday of conspir
acy to bribe Daugherty and other gov
ernment officials.
Means, for the second time in six
months, was taken to the Tombs under
sentence of two years in Atlanta and a
.SIO,OOO fine, the maximum in Federal
District Court for conviction of conspir
acy.
Felder Escapes With Fine.
Felder, because of his age and the
jury’s recommendation fOif clemency, re
ceived no prison sentence but was fined
SIO,OOO. Conviction came as a visible
shock to the rather feeble lawyer.
Pending the result of the appeals both
announced would be taken at once. Fel
der's bail of $5,000 was continued, white
Means’ imprisonment followed his failure
to put up a new SIO,OOO bond.
Judge Bindley granted each a stay of
ninety days to prepare writs of error and
appeal, during which, it was said in legal
quarters, Felder will be ethically unable
to practice. If his conviction is upheld,
disbarment will follow automaticaly.
Means’ Bond Already $40,000.
Means already is under $40,000 bail,
of which $25,000 was required pending
settlement of his appeal from conviction
last .Tune, with Elmer W. Jarnecke. >f
conspiracy to violate the prohibition law,
and $15,000 on a blanket indictment
which has not yet been tried.
His counsel, Abram I. Menin, argued
yesterday this amount should not be in
creased, but the motion was overruled.
Since he was brought here from Con
cord, N. C., for the trial which ended
yesterday, the former government investi
gator has been held in the-custody of the
United States marshal without bail. His
sentence last summer Wair the same as
that imposed yesterday, and Judge Bind
ley, at the request of Hiram C. Todd,
special assistant attorney general, who
prosecuted both charges, ordered they
should not run concurrently.
Jarnecke, formerly Means’ aid and con
fident, who was sentenced to serve two
years in Atlanta and fined $5,000 last
summer, and who pleadbd gnilty at (he
tttxrt of the present trial, was not sen
tenced yesterday. The court ( announced
it would postpone sentence to‘June 30th,
pending the result of Jarnecke’s appeal
from his previous conviction. Means’
ex-buddy was the principal witness
against him and Felder, and testified be
is now employed by the government at
sll a day.
Sealed Verdic|< Returned.
The verdict, which was announced at
10:30 o’clock yesterday morning, was
reached at 8:30 o’clock Thursday night
but was sealed by order of Judge Bind
ley.
Felder’s small figure shook as the
jury’s finding was read by the clerk of
the* court, but Means’ large, placid face
reflected no emotion.
Before sentence was pronounced in the
jury’s recommendation for clemency for
I elder, pointing out that the lawyer's
possible disbarment would be considerable
punishment.
Court Pronounces Sentences.
Then, pronouncing sentence, the court
said: t
“I have never had a more difficult situ
ation than this. lam a member of a
profession I love and which I think its
members love to the highest degree of
those of any profession. * It is a pro
j session which abhors the slightest devia
| ft.n from the path of honor and integrity
and which demands unusual qualities
despite statements to the contrary.
“When I see a member of that pro
fession brought before me for a sentence
I am moved, but it would serve ho good
purpose to continue.
“As to the defendant, Means, there is
no question in my mind that he did vio
late the law. I sentence him to two
years’ imprisonment at Atlanta and a
fine of SIO,OOO. and the defendant Felder
to a fine of $10,000.”
Felder, who is sixty-three, has been
practicing for forty-two years, during
which he has appeared in notable crim
inal and civil suits in New York.
