...political grave of the Ohio gang, the little flowers of indictment still grow every spring, scenting the air with the perfume of scandal and the breath of alleged corruption. Only last week another blossom opened. In Manhattan a grand jury indicted one time Attorney General Harry Daugherty, his good friend, the late Jesse Smith, John T. King, onetime Republican National Committeeman from Connecticut, and Thomas W. Miller, former Alien Property Custodian, for conspiracy to defraud the Government. The charge was that certain stock of the American Metal Co. was seized by the Alien Property Custodian as German property during...

...Osaka, Japan, one Senichiro Tokuriki, shoemaker, lived with his wife until his two sons, Kazuo and Saburo, had reached the age of 18 and 19 respectively. Then, thinking that they were doubtless competent to fend for the woman, he chose another wife (a very lotus blossom for fairness) and moved away. The mother grieved herself to the edge of death, and the two lads, seeing that it was no laughing matter, took counsel together. They thought of a way to make their father come home. One night when there was no moon they stole out of the house and made...
