Washington,—Major General Har-

Pershing, chief of staff, made public
the official reports of McGregor's feat
showing that he covered the last 600
tnlles of the march In fourteendays an
average of more tan thirty-five male*
a day. The entire distance traveled
was 1,100 miles from San Antonio,
Texas, to Denver, Colorado, and was
made in forty marching days.
Springfield, 111.—Political Illinois
was rocked recently by the greatest
political scandal in the state's his-
tory.
Two of its highest state officers
and a leading bunker and politician
stood accused of conspiracy, embez-
zlement and misuse of huge sums of
state funds, running into millions of
dollars.
Gov. Len Small, Lieut. Gov. Fred E.
Sterling and Verne E. Curtis of Grant
Park, were the trio indicted by the
Sangamon County grand jury for con-
spiracy and embezzlement in connec-
tion with the interest earnings of the
state treasurer's office In the terms
of Small and Sterling.
Huge Amounts are involved.
The true bills were returned before
Judge Elbert E. Smith of the circuit
court of Sangamon County.
An indictment for embezzlement is
returned against Small for embezzle-
ment of Vz million dollars while state
treasurer.
One is against Sterling for $700,000
for embezzlement and a third is
against Small, Sterling and Curtis for
embezzlement of $700,000.
Another indictment for conspiracy
to defraud and confidence games runs
against Small, Sterling and Curtis.
Warrants have been issued for the
three men, and their bonds fixed at
$50,000 on each count.
The indictment for conspiracy and
confidence games charges that the
three obtained divers grants, war-
rants, vouchers and documents to the
mount of 2 million dollars."
Loan Through Bogus Bank.
The investigation hinges on the 10
million dollar loan of state funds to
Armour & Co., and Swift & Co. This
loan, it was said, was made through
the Grant Park Bank, an institution
operated by the late Senator E. C.
Curtis, close friend and political col-
league of Governor Small for many
years.
Attorney General Brundage and his
aids, it is said, have attempted to
show that the Grant Park Bank exist-
ed only on paper, a charter granted
many years ago to Alonzo Curtis, fa-
ther of the late senator. Interest on
the 10 million, amounting to 2 per
cent, was paid to the state in the
terms of Governor Small and Lieuten-
ant Governor Sterling as state treas-
urer of Illinois. The packers' notes
are said to have drawn 7 and 8 per
cent interest. It is the difference in
interest earnings that was said to be
the crux of the investigation.

SHIPPING BOARD IN TROUBLE
Chairman Lasker's Report for Last
Year Shows Losses Amounting to
Over $380,000,000.
ARRESTED KIDNAPPED' SON
Thomas Randolph of Sharon. Pa.,
Taken Into Custody When He
Arrived at Home.
Sharon, Pa.—The "abduction" of
Thomas D. Randolph, 32 years old,
prominent of Sharon, dramatized in
soul-freezing letters to his father,
closed with a slap-stick finale when
Randolph returned home later.
Shortly after his return he was ar-
rested at the home of his father-in-
law, Boyce Fogle, on orders of Mayor
Frank Gilbert. Randolph was held
without bail on a technical charge.
The police were searching.in sev-
eral towns for Randolph when he re-
turned. All along the detectives had
held that when they found Randolph
they probably would not find any ab-
ductors.
Washington.—The United States
shipping board is a financial wreck.
Congress and the country have been
deceived as to its true condition,
Only at stupendous and undreamed-of
cost can the American merchant ma
rine be salvaged to a place on the
seas.
These were assertions of A. D. Las
ker of Chicago, chairman of the new
shipping board, when, following a con
ference with President Harding Mr
Lasker gave what he said was the
first accurate detailed statement for
a fiscal year of the cost of operation
of the board.
Congress and the country were fla-
grantly deceived as to the actual cost
of operations last year, Chairman
Lasker charged in announcing that he
must go before congress and ask for
an appropriation so large "it may
disrupt the administration's whole
fiscal program."
The books of the board, Mr. Lasker
declared, were not in a commercial
sense books at all, and he said that if
a purposeful effort had been made to
keep the books so as to cheat and de
fraud congress and the country, they
could have been kept in no different
manner.
The chairman said the disclosures
which he later gave out publicly, had
amazed and distressed President
Harding when laid before him at the
White House, but that the President
had laid down the policy that in his
administration the public must be
given all the facts, not a "doctored
picture."
Mr. Lasker stated that whereas con
gress had understood that 99 million
dollars which It appropriated for the
old shipping board in the last fiscal
year (ending June 30), was the cost
of tho board operations for that year
as a matter of fact the cost was 380
million dollars.
The board used, In addition to the
appropriation, he said, 80 million dol
lars that it had to its credit in the
treasury, and 200 million dollars
which it received from the sale of
ships and turned back Into the en
terprise instead of into the treasury
The chairman revealed that
would inform congress tomorrow that
the shipping board for the current
cal year, ending June 30, 1922, would
need possibly 300 million dollars
which, in the language of Mr. Lasker,
will "put a lot of sand in the gear
box of tax revision."
