Parlous Times for Judges in Chicago
HICAGO.—These be parlous times
for Judges In this neck of woods.
Judge Charles M. Thomson of the
Appellate court Is on crutches. Judge
G. Fred Rush of the Circuit court has
a broken arm. Judge David F.
Matchett of the Appellate court has
a kneecap out of commission.
Judge Thomson sustained his In­
juries in Lake Michigan. His wife
and son had gone for a swim while
the lake was rough High waves were
rolling the boy near some dangerous
piles, when Mrs. Thomson swam to
his rescue. Judge Thomson, who was
sitting on the beach, feared for the
safety of both, and rushed In after
them. His right foot caught In a hole
in the bottom of the lake and an un­
timely high wave wrenched his body,
with the result that he sustained two
broken bones in the sole of the foot.
Judge Rush was on his way home.
Attempting to boe.rd an Illinois
suburban train on the Randolph street
platform, he was caught in a jam,
with the result that he sustained a
broken bone In the right arm.
Judge Matchett is among the most
powerful looking citizens hereabouts.

C
He enjoys a wrestling match, not as
an onlooker, but « s a participant, and
was engaging In such a bout with his
son when his Injury took place. Judge
Matchett. when he starts anything,
mixes m atters pretty generally. And
a wrestling match is no exception with
him. But it appears that in the ex­
ercise his son’s foot came In accidental
but swift contact with the Judge’s
leg just above the kneacap, and he
has been at home since.
So the superstitious politicians
among the lawyers of the Chicago bar
are wondering whether they reallj
want to be candidates for places on
the bench at the Judicial election next
June.
In Soviet Russia— Most of the Work-
ere Are Russian 'Immigrants Who
Have Become Skilled in Their Sev­
eral Linee in the United States.
More than a dozen groups of work­
men trained in American industries,
headed by experts and fully equipped
with the latest machinery, are prepar­
ing to leave soon to aid In the indus­
trial rehabilitation of soviet Russia.
The Society for Technical Aid to
Soviet Russia, which is organizing
these units, announced that it already
has sent to Russia clothing workers,
machinists, builders, and tool and die
workers. Most of these workers were
Russian immigrants who had become
skilled here.
The society, an organization of Rus­
sians, has Its central bureau in New
York, headed by Fedor P. Wllga. It
claims a membership of 10,000 through­
out the United States and Canada and
publishes a semi-monthly technical
magazine to acquaint Its members with
modern methods of production in Amer­
ica and their application in soviet Rus­
sia.
Not Soviet Agents.
Officials of the society claim that the
aim of their organization is to “bring
the people of the United States and
soviet Russia into closer relations for
the mutual benefit of the two coun­
tries.”
The society denied it was acting as
agents for soviet Russia and declared
that Its activities were absolutely non-
political and confined strictly to organ­
izing technical forces.
“We are not soliciting inembeFfe, nor
do we encourage them to go to soviet
Russia at present,” said a statement is­
sued by the society.
“Only those brave and energetic
workers who, regardless of conditions
at present existing in soviet Russia,
are willing and ready to go there as
soon as possible to help build the Rus­
sian republic are accepted as members
of units that we are organizing to be
sent to soviet Russia.
Send Trained Men.
“ We are organizing our units in
such a way that upon their arrival In
soviet Russia they will be able to run
on their own initiative, under their
own supervision, all kinds of factories,
shops, mines and farms.”
The society said that the following
units, fuUy equipped with the latest
machinery, will leave in the near fu­
ture for R ussia: Two units of shoe­
making workers, two units of clothing
workers, three units of construction
workers, one unit of foundry workers
of chilled cast-iron wheels for railway
cars and locomotives, several groups
of electrical and acetylene welders,
automobile and tractor units, five ag­
ricultural groups fully equipped with
tractors and all modern power ma-
chinery and several others.
“All of these units sent to Russia,
being disseminated in various parts of
that vast country," said the society,-
"will serve as pioneers for American
trade in mechanics, tools and certain
raw- materials obtainable In the United
States and Canada.”

“WEIGHT
MOTOR”
Illinois Man Perfects Machine That
Perils Present Motive Power.
Gasoline and waterpower would
largely follow the horse luto decline
as means of motive power, if the In­
vention of a Springfield (111.) man, A.
T. Markwood, contains all the qualities
he claims for it.
First actual test of his “weight
motor” has been set for this month,
when a commissioner from the United
States patent office comes here, he re­
ports.
Weight of iron balls supplies the
force in the invention, upon which
Mr. Markwood says he has worked
twenty-five years.
Sixteen balls of 138 pounds each
equip the model he has prepared for
the demonstration. Two of these units,
he claims, would suffice to provide
all the electricity produced by the
Springfield (111.) Electric company’«
light and power plant.
The idea finds similarity in the over­
shot water-wheel. Iron balls replace
the water fall, forcing around huge
Iron spokes. Sufficient energy Is gen­
erated by. the fall of one ball to lift
several spent balls back to the elevated
track, and thus the motor continues,
he says.
Eventually, Mr. Markwood declares,
there will be small replicas of his huge
model In many homes. Small iron
balls, the size of a croquet ball, will
equip a generator the size of a phono­
graph, and the electricity therefrom
will light houses, run washing ma­
chines, provide heat, and recharge the
family automobile, he prophesies.
Motor Cara Cut Chuchgoing In Half.
Church attendance Is being cut 50
per cent, the crime rate Is being raised,
and many narrow streets made death
traps by automobiles, according to
John F. Boyer, a justice of the peace
of Chicago.

Woman Charges Husband With As­
sault With Carcass.
Henry Malliet of Bound Brook, N.
J., charged with assault by Mrs.
Malliet, who told a Jury Malliet hit
her with a dead dog, was discharged
after trial In Somerset County court.
■ Mrs. Malliet caused her husband’s ar-
1 rest, charging he had belabored her
j with the carcass of a fox terrier which
■ had been run over and killed by an
automobile. The wife testified that
Malliet became enraged because he
thought she had let the dog out.
Neighbors called to testify gave con­
flicting evidence. One swore there was
i blood on Mrs. Malllet’s face after the
quarrel over the fox terrier. Another
testified the plaintiff’s nose was red,
but he could not swear there was
blood on it.

LOG USED AS LIQUOR CARRIER
Prohibition Agents Di so over a New
Way of Smuggling Booze.
Two halves of an eight-foot cedar
log, tossed by a storm at Tampa, Fla.,
on a suburban beach, have revealed
to prohibition agents another trick em­
ployed by coast runners In smuggling
liquor Into the state. The log was
from a wrecked boat coming from
Cuba with a cargo of logs consigned
to a local cigar box factory. Four
carefully carved cavities secreted four
five-gallon demijohns of whiskey In
one log. Countersunk bolts held the j
halves together, so that the complete
