SERVING THEIR SENTENCES IN LEAVENWORTH Numbers and Clothing, 11 St. Louisans Have Their Lunch With 1200 Convicts. INSIDE WALLS Curious Prisoners Stare From Windows as “Best Looking Outfit” Marches Two Blocks to Building. By WILLIAM F. ALLEN, A Staff Correspondent of the Post- Dispatch. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Jan. 5. —The 11 St. Louisans convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary bination, which represents the lar- ‘in the Jack Daniel whisky conspir- est undertaking of Clarence Dillon, head of the banking firm of Dillon, Dead & Co., it was reported today. The deal, which is under negoti- ation, will cement the existing un- ion between the “big three” group of German steel companies—the Deutsche Luxembourg, the Gelsen- kirchner and the Bochum Verin-- which, with the Siemens & Halsk:> companies, tnake up the Hhine- Elbe union. Confirming the announcement that a merger was in prospect, members of Dillon, Read & Co. said that the combination had been un- der consideration and discussion in Germany for some time and that permanent financing of substantial size for these companies had been discussed. The Dillon firm, with the J. Hen- ry Bchroder C'o. of London, last spring bought from the Stinnes es- tate a large block of Deutsche Luxembourg stock and later made a private loan of $6,000,000 to the “Big Three.” ANOTHER CONGRESSWOMAN OUT TO MODIFY VOLSTEAD ACT Mrs. Kahn of -California Assails Fraud, T4es and Deceit Used to Enforce Prohibition.
