PRIEST BLAMES KLAN IN FIERCE f COURUATTLE Fights Return to Alabama From Canada; Serious Charge Faced. •* . % $4 / United Frets VANCOUVER, B. C., Dec. 16. One of the most desperate legal fights In the history of Canadian courts has developed about the figure of Father Patrick O’Connor, Alabama priest. For months his attorneys have Used every legal weapon at their command to prevent his return to Alabama to face trial on an indictment charging him with performing an illegal operation. Before the extradition issue Is finally settled the case probably will be carried to the privy council in London. Charge In Alabama If the appeal to the Minister of Justice fails, Maitland plans to attempt to secure a ruling from the privy council in London forbidding the surrender of Father O’Connor to Alabama authorities. The entire fight of the defense is based on the claim that the State of Alabama has no jurisdiction in the case. The alleged offense occurred on the Federal military reservation at Anniston, Ala., and the defense argues that the Federal Government alone can proceed with the charges against the priest. Return Is Ordered It is claimed in behalf of Father O’Connor that Federal authorities, after a thorough investigation of the case, refused to prosecute. The return of Father O’Connor to Alabama was ordered early in September by the local extradition commissioner after a lengthy investigation of the case. Immediately Father O’Connor’s attorneys carried their fight to the courts of British Columbia and finally the supreme court of British Columbia denied his plea for release on a writ of habeas corpus. \ Claim Klan Frame-Up Back of the entire case is said to be the bitterness aroused by the strife between the Klu-Klux Klan and anti-klansmen in Alabama. Father O’Connor’s friends claim that the charges against him were tramped up by religious enemies and that if he is returned to Alabama it would be impossible for a CLEARS UP A LINGERING COUGH A lingering irritable cough is not so good.

PARK SHAKEUP IS THREATENED Emsley Johnson Talked to Succeed Board Head. The park department is slated for reorganization following a fire department shake-up which is expected in a few days. Before Jan. 1 Mayor L. Ert Slack will have to name a successor to John E. Milnor, Republican, president, whose temr expires Dec. 31. It is generally belived at city hall that Emsley W. Johnson, who with Corporation Counsel John W. Holtzman, were special prosecutors in the trial of former Mayor John L. Duvall, Republican, will succeed Milnor. Johnson, former member of the park board, was ousted by Duvall. With the reorganization it is deemed likely that Michael E. Foley, Democratic leader, may be named president. Slack has not Indicated whether he will replace Mrs. J. D. Hoss, Republican, and Adolph Emhardt, Democrat. Democrats are urging appointment of members of their own party to fill important park positions. Henry Goett, Democratic attorney, Thirteenth ward worker, and Howard Robertson, Boys’ Club leader, are seeking appointment as recreation director. Goett formerly was deputy county clerk. Robertson was with the Y. M. C. A. in France.

after the State teacher’s convention when there were nearly 17,000 visitors here. Jostled, Purse Gone One man, to whom a purse was returned, recalled when he lost it. He was in a crowd attempting to enter a bus when an old man, after blocking the entrance for a minute, decided he was getting on the wrong bus, and backed out. In the crowd, the victim was jostled and is convinced a confederate of the old man “lifted” the purse. One purse returned to a railroad representative contained passes on every railroad in this section of the country.
