JIM LARKIN
RELEASED FROM PRISON. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association (Received January 18, 11.5 p.m.) WASHINGTON, January 17. An Albany telegram says that Governor Smith has pardoned Jim Larkin, who was convicted in 1920 on a charge of criminal anarchy, having advocated the “dictatorship of the proletariat.” The Governor said the pardon was not because he subscribed to Larkin's views, but because the views did not constitute or advocate anarchy, but merely a new- and radically different form of organised government.
