Girl Secures Prisoner Release After Intercession
Through Clarice Brown of Goshen, Frank Graham, jailed for petit larceny, was freed in city court by Judge Skelton on condition he leave for Chicago where he says he has work. Graham had stolen a ring from a visitor and pawned it with a partner. He'd been in Plainfield reform school and was released on a suspended sentence. Brown urged dropping the case in a letter to the judge. Byrd Cornstein, with carnival concessions, was held for forgery tomorrow on $100 bond. Ed Horlacker, posing as Mlle Russia, a snake charmer, claimed Cornstein asked him to sign a slip so the manager could remember him, and disputed a cashier’s receipt above his signature. Other cases included James Watson fined $1 and costs for drunkenness with fine suspended, Eugene Crawford drunk with case continued, Harry Smith using an assumed name drunken with $5 and costs, and Conrad Kammeyer with assault and battery dismissed.

No Room for Both Fraternity and School
Four Fort Wayne high school students were barred from classes by Principal C. T. Lane on the first day of fall term until they proved they had severed ties with any secret organization. The initiations, held during summer, violated a state law, and the students were sent home with instructions to reunite only after disassociating. They later supplied proof, with others from Phi Delta Kappa also having previously signed similar affidavits. The day proceeded unusually quiet as plans allowed teachers to begin lessons promptly.
