Sacis of Uni- versity City, dean of the defunct National University of Arts and Sciences, who has been sought for several days on account of his al)- leged connection with the issuance of a bogus medical diploma, went last night to the office of Circuit At- torney Sidener and made a state- ment of his part in and knowledge of traffic in bogus high school and medical diplomas Henry W. McChesney, one of Sachs’ attorneys, who was present when Sachs’ statement was made to the Circuit Attorney, told a Post- Dispatch reporter today that Sachs gave. it as “his' deliberate judgment {Lat there are throughout the United “tates probably .5,000 persons prac- ticing -:nedicine under fraudulent diplomas without having taken the required courses of instruction.” Attorney McChesney stated that Prof. Saths’ staternent was along this line: : That not all of the fraudulent dip- lomas were issued by the clique of ch Sachs was a member, because there were other cliques, one In Cali- fornia, one in Chicago and one or more in the Hast.

That most of his work, which con- sisted mostly in supplying fraudu- l'nt credits for high school work which would enable rec'plents to enter -nedical schools, was dbne trrough Dr. .RRobert Adcox, of 4414 l‘elmar boulevard, his connection vith whom began about 12 years ago and continued until a very short time ago. That the certificates for high school credits were supplied to Dr. Adcox for as little as $5 and $10 eaih; sometimes Sachs received $25. Sachs discovered, he eaid, in the course of his dealings with Dr. Adcox, that the latter was selling the certificetes for from $200 to $600. He earned this from students who came to him for copies of cred- its. Most of them, he said, told him that they paid $260 to Dr. Adcox.@ That Adcox, in giving him names to be used in issuing certificates, said he had examined the applicants and found them capable. McChesney added that although no promise had been made, it was hoped ‘the Circuit Attorney would ness and show leniency to him. The conference, which began about 8 o’clock and lasted until an early hour this morning, was at- tended by Circuit Attorney Sidener, Assistant Circuit Attorney Garstang, Prosecuting Attorney Jones of St. Louis County, Sachs and McChesney and Sachs’ other attorney, Carl M. Dubinsky. Vas Active in Politics, Circuit Attorney Sidener said that Sachs was brought in by his, attor- neys and told the story of His life, how he was formerly a Lutheran minister, but on account of trouble with his wife left the ministry in 1912 and went into pray ey gs vcork. For a while he conducted a school at which students prepared to get high schol credits. He was ective in Democratic politics and when Bolte was Lieutenant-Governor he got a job as examiner under State Superintendent of Schools Gass. In that position Sachs had so many certificates to sign he asked Gass for permission to have a seal made. Gass approved and Sachs had such a seal made. -Up to that time he had not been engaged in anv- thing improper. He was dismissed from State employment by Gass’ suc- cessor. In 1916 he was connected with the Walther College and had power to grant credits, and in 1918, 1919 and 1920 he was superintendent of schoole at Potosi.

By the Associated Preas. WESTBADEN, Ind., Oct. 19.—A formal resolution pledging to Presi- dent Coolidge the “fullest co-opera- tion” in enforcement of prohibition was adopted at the 15th annual gov- ernors’ conference here today after a stormy debate. Adoption of the motion was accompanied by a tumult of shouting and stamping during which Gov. John M. Parker of Louisiana, left the meeting. When the conference met today Gov. P. H.

Blaine‘ t"OPpexltion. Gov. Blaine of Wisconsin was on his feet instantly with objections to the signing of the memorial, declar- ing that the “round robin is an unfair evasion of our rule against resolu- tions.”” He urged a discussion of methods for enforcing the Volstead act instead “of proclaiming from the housetops that we are virtuous men and good Governors.”’ “I am opposed to the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Act and the people of Wisconsin know it,”’ said Blaine. “But there is no criticism of the enforcement of the laws in our, State. If we are meet- ing h@sre to memorialize on the en- forcement of laws we should neglect none. This fanaticism is base hypocrisy.”’ Gov. Parker of Louisiana said he would resign from the conference of Governors if a single name were at- tached to the memorial. “The Ku Klux Klan is the greatest issue in America today,” he declared, “and that questior. demands the time and attention of this meeting instead mer: words on the DBighteenth Amendment.” Neff Strong for Enforcement. “I have declared military rule 20 times in various parts of Texas to in- sure law enforcement,” asserted Pat M.
