PRELIMINARY HEARING
OF ALLEGED EMBEZZLER

bezzlement, will have his- hearing to

W. D. Stephens in his fight to resist

Assistant Attorney General George
Shafer and George Raymon, Cass
county deputy sheriff, who^ are dis
patched to Califorhia to bring Hast

Hastings is accused of having em
bezzled $3,000 from the Scandina

ftying an alleged illegal'note said to

A."C Townley, national president
of the Nonpartisan league, is under

leged embezzlement.
Hastings was detected in Seattle
but before a warrant arrived from
Cass county he had disappeared. He
created a surprise by giving himself
up In Sacramento,. Cal.r
It is reliably understood-that war
rants for Townley and" Hastings are
the result of an audit being made of
the state bank) by Bishop Brissman

theurLeSueur,'S.t.-PaiiT attorney and
former nonpartisan, wiip broke with
the league leaders.
Hastings was a prominent leaguer
in the early day's of the league but
was later "read out f the party"
by Townley, following organization
of a bank at Valley City. While con
nected with the league, he, with Allen
Box, organized .banks at HillBboro,
Hatton.'CBSselton, Leithiand Lisbon,
which were known as "league banks,

Russia and prominent Russians and Americans, for the
purpose of aiding the Russian people who were victims of
Bolshevik tyranny. Political developments soon made it
impossible to send relief to anti-Bolshevik Russians who
-were in the Soviet territory, hence all our efforts were
concentrated on the aid of the exiles scattered along the
Russian frontiers.
"Bear in niirid," the Princess continued, that we are
working to aid the Russian refugees who arc driven out
side Of Russia by the Bolshevik. There are now at least
one million df them and we are about the only society in
this particular field of charitable work.
"Lack of funds is responsible for the withdrawal of
various other organization* which were in part alleviating
the wretchedness of these unfortunate people.
"The horrible tragedy of it is," sard the Princess sadly,
"that the refugees are the intellectuals or educated class,
who can and will be the backbone of future regeneration
of their nation and the stabilization of their government
if they can be saved from starvation and epidemic until the
Bolshevik rule is terminated.
"You see, the Russians we help gave all theyhad to the
Allied CauSe and are now dying from cold,'hunger ana
disease, driven from their own land to wander^in exile,
"hoping, praying and trying to find some means of a liveli
hood whefe at present in the majority of
instances
is none to be founfl."
