Former Member of Depart
ment of Justice Says Plot#
Fomented by De
tective Agencies.
Chicago, Feb. 13.—A story of meth
ods employed by private detective
agencies Investigating rail strikes
and troubles, contained in a deposi
tion made here by Albert Bailin,
alias Balanow, former agent for the
department of justice last night and
today brought forth specific and gen
eral denials from 'agencies and per
sons involved in the alleged exposure.
Frank P. Walsh, who is defending
the 32 alleged communists facing
trial at St. Joseph, Mich., February
26, and who Is hero taking the depo
sition, said the document would he
used in connection with the defense
of the men.
Balanow, son of a Russian com
munist. ordered deported during the
last czarlst reign, said he was former
ly with the Burns, Thiel, Daniel and
other private agencies, and a mem
ber of the communist party, the so
clalist-laborite, Young People's Socia
list league, and the Workers Intcr
nationar Industrial union.
Agitated Radicalism.
Among the charges made by Bala
now. were:
That private detective agencies
pMzilated radicalism, formed radical
labor organizations and fomented
labor troubles through paid repre- j
sentatlves in order to make fees in |
exposing the movements.
That prominent radical were al
lowed to slip through the hands of the
investigators that the search might
be continyed.
That agent* of Burns and Thiel
"dictated the policy of the I. W. W.
propaganda committee which issued
the radical manifestos and literature,"
and that the entire committee during
1920 and 1921 was composed of Thiel
agents.
That T. J. Cooney, directing the
radical department for the Thiel
agency at that time, used a stamp
of the signature of Alfred Wegen
knecht, known as a radical, stolen
from the mail, stamped 50 threaten
ing letters to several interested in
the prosecution of communists here,
which he (Balanow) mailed.
The deposition told how Balanow

New York, Feb. 13.—Miss Mary
Landon Baker, Chit'ago heiress, re
turned from abroad today on the
steamship Carmanla. declaring that
there was more than the Atlantic
ocean between her and A Ulster Mc
Cormick, her erstwhile fiance,
whom she left "somewhere In

"I shall never marry him,” she
declared in addirffc finis to a sporad

serted almost at the altar.
“It's all off.” Miss Baker told re- i
porters. ”1 will never marry him. j
We broke our engagement six

"Yes, It was mutual—no, our en

General Denial.
A Mr. Cooney, mentioned several
times by Balanow. in Associated Press
dispatches front St. Taul. last night,
said Balanow had made similar charg
es before which were proved false.
Officials of the Burns and Thiel
agencies, here last night made general
and specific denial of Balanow s
Charges.
G. G. John, Chicago manager for
the Burns agency, said "his chargee
are a tissue of falsehoods. To the
best of my knowledge, no man named
Balanow or Ballln ever was employed
by the Burns agency."
The statement from the Thiel agen
cy was similar to tone.
Game Slaughtered During
Big Wolf Hunts, Charge
Hastings, Neb., Feb. 13.—(Special.)
—Many sportsmen who have partici
pated in wolf hunts in this section
during the last few weeks declare
that protected game is often slaugh
tered because no game wardens arc
present. The killing of pheasants in ,
some instances Is mentioned as the
most serious offense.
Sometimes as many as 2,000 per
sona participate in wolf hunts, and
besides coyotes and rabbits, consider
able game has been killed. Wolf
hunts are nearly all advertised in ad
vance and sportsmen say that if one
game warden were assigned to each
hunt it would materially check the
shooting of protected game.
New Building Zone Law
Sought for Hastings
Hastings. Neb.. Feb. 13.—(Special.)
—The collapse of the front wall of a
small brick store building in the resi
dence section, across the street from
the $90,000 Episcopal cathedral now
under construction, has brought the
agitation for a building and zoning
code to a climax. A committee of
the council has been instructed to
prepare the building cods and It is
expected that it will be drawn to In
clude regulations restricting certain
types of buildings to certain districts.
The few building regulations now in
effect are regarded obsolete.

Judge Sees No
Peril in Divorce
Friction Caused in Process of
Woman Becoming Man's
Equal, Says Day.
The great number of divorces of the
present day is nothing to become
alarmed over, was the message giv
«n to the Nebraska conference of so
cial workers by Judge L. B. Day of
the court of domestic relations yester
day morning in the rooms of the Jew
ish Welfare league. Lyric building.
His subject was ‘‘Marriage and Di
vorce.”
"We are going through a period of
transition,” said Judge Day. "The
day when a woman was deemed the
slave or chattel of man Is being suc
ceeded by one wherein she is becoming
his equal, and during this period of
transition from one state to the other
there is bound to be friction. I am
confident, however, that there even
tually will be a proper readjustment
and that the number of divorces will
be greatly decreased.”
Judge Day discussed the admin
istration of Nebraska's present di
vorce laws, and particularly the law
which provides that the court shall
investigate and look into the merits
of a case nside from the actual hear
ing in court. This law. which has
been in force one year and which the
present legislature has been asked to
repeal, is the best thing we have to
day in the way of an instrument to
prevent fraudulent divorces. Judge
| Day said.
"Forty per cent of divorces should
! not be granted, but the difficulty Is
! to distinguish one from the other,”
i Judge Day said.
Judge Day advocated ft law which
would require the passage of two
l weeks’ time between the date of the
. application for a marriage license and
j the issuance thereof.
