PARKER ‘BRIBE’ MADE TO DILL, SENATE TOLD Washington Senator Says Judgeship Offer Not Taken Seriously. r ASHURST REVEALS NAME Legislators Agree to Vote on Nomination at 1:30 Wednesday. ft'i I nitrd prr - * WASHINGTON, May 7.—An excited senate listened breathlessly today while Senator Ashurst (Dem., Ariz.), named a fellow Democrat, Senator Dill (Wash.), as the man who had told of being offered a “patronage bribe" in return for supporting the nomination of John J. Parker as supreme court justice. By unanimous consent the senate entered an agreement to vote finally upon the Parker nomination at 1:30 p. m , Wednesday. Ashurst’s statement came after he had been prodded incessantly by administration senators to substantiate hts charges federal judgeships and other appointments had been offered during the Parker fight. He named Dill only after the Washington senator had remained in his seat following Ashurst’s statement that “the senator who told me is in the chamber now.” Recitation Is Dramatic Dill then arose and told the details of the offer, which he said had not been taken seriously. He said a “gentleman from his state,” a Republican, whom he declined to name, had told him the administration was ready to “reward with almost anything” those who w'ould vote for Parker. The recitation was dramatic and Dill spoke in such a husky voice that senators asked him to speak louder so they might hear him. “I have hesitated to inject myself into this disturbance.” he said. “All the senator from Arizona has said Is in good faith, but he is mistaken.” “Well, then, tell what you told me <fr> the presence of Senator Bratton (Dem., N. M.) at lunch the other day," shouted Ashurst. “Amused at Statement’’ ‘ All right,’ said Dill. "I was talking about being impressed with the pressure that was being brought to bear on me to ' ote for Judge Parker. I told about a gentleman from my own state who suggested 1 would be in high favor with the adminisj.ition if I should vote for Parker. “I was amused at the gentleman’s statement and tried to draw’ him out. He told me I would be rewarded with anything I wanted. “I told him the trouble was ] did not want anything. •He said. ’Well, judgeships are always open.’ “I told him I would rather be a private citizen than a judge when I retired. "I did not at any time consider it as a challenge to my integrity. I did not think it would justify anything serious being said about it.” Senate Alert With Interest The crowded senate was alert with interest as Senator Allen (Rep.. KanJ demanded to know' whom Ashurst was referring to in his patronage bribe charges made Monday and reiterated today. “Who was the senator who was approached?” he demanded. Ashurst answered the senator was present in the chamber and could speak for himself. He looked aiound toward Dill, but the latter did not arise. “All right." he shouted, his face very red and his hair disheveled. “I will tell.” “Last Saturday noon in the presence of Senator Bratton, a senator sitting in this chamber told me an offer of a judgeship had been made to him.” “Yes. but who was it?” Again demanded Allen. Ashurst looked around at Dill again and then said in a low voice, which nevertheless could be heard throughout the chamber. “Senator Dill." •Was a Private Citizen’ It was then Dill arose and made his statement. Dill said there was no need of an investigation. "The gentleman who talked to me,” he said, “was a personal friend who did not claim to have any assurance from President Hoover, but indicated he could do a lot for me at home. “1 regret the matter should have been given all this attention and all this fanfare in the newspapers." Senator Norris (Rep . Neb.) agreed it would have been better if " ~ incident had never been me ucd. -But since it has gone as far as it has. the senator ought to tell us who was the man who made the suggestion to him. Did he have connections politically or otherwise?” “He was a private citizen with no political connections.” Dill replied. “I don’t see any use in dragging him into it because I did not take it seriously. The sooner the whole thing is forgotten, the better for all concerned.” Mine Plant Damaged Bit Times Special WASHINGTON, Ind., May 6.

IRE SUBBED BY TABIFF BATES Westerners Rap House Action in Debenture Slash. By Scripps-Hotcard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, May 6.—With general dissatisfaction voiced against the 1930 tariff measure inside and outside of congress. Republican senate leaders predicted today that the flexible feature alone would furnish difficulty to the conference committee in composing remaining differences in the house and senate bills. More important, however, than the eventual outcome of conference arrangements was the criticism heard by advocates of low and high rates. Western groups assailed the house action in rejecting the debenture while high tariff elements did not like the lower body’s action in stripping the bill of the senate duties on lumber, shingles and sugar. Representatives of the latter industry appeared at the Capitol in a vain attempt to obtain reconsideration of the sugar schedule, unaware the parliamentary situation blocked such a move. Various members of the house expressed resentment at the fact that that body never will have had an opportunity to vote on the bill as $ whole. Many agreed to a partial conference report while decisions still were to be made concerning the controversial items, and had they known what the result on the latter was to be, they say they would not have agreed to the rates returned by the house conferees.

TURKEY FEARS SOVIET FLEET Reds Are Concentrating Ships in' Black Sea. Bv United Press ANGORA, Turkey, May 6.—Official quarters seriously were concerned today with the concentration of the Soviet Baltic fleet In the Black sea for an undisclosed motive simultaneously with efforts of Foreign Minister Tewfik Roudchy to reach a naval reduction accord with Greece. The Soviet concentration caused some concern, because the Soviet has ignored protests on the ground that the concentration of ships does not violate any treaty. The Soviet warship Parishskaia Kommuna and the cruiser Profintern arrived in the Black sea, and the dreadnaught Marat and the cruiser Dwastat October are expected soon. Some sources believed the concentration w’as a gesture of disapproval of negotiations for a Mediterranean naval accord, but the possibility of a menace to Turkey revived interest in some 20,000,000 Moslem Turks living in Russia.

BISHOP CANNON CHARGED WITH FUND JUGGLING Anti-Smith Contributions Not All Listed, Donor Tells Probers. LINKS G. 0. P. LEADERS Slemp, Good Played Part in Getting Money in South, Is Claim. ft?/ J r nited Press WASHINGTON, May 6. A charge that Bishop James Cannon Jr., of the Methodist Episcopal church. South, misrepresented the campaign contributions he received for the anti-Smith movement in 1928, was made before the senate lobby committee today by one of the donors, E. C. Jameson, New York, Republican insurance executive. Revealing that he gave Cannon $65,300 in cash and checks made out to cash. Jameson admitted Cannon’s report that he received only $17,300 did not jibe with his records. Cannon had asked Jameson to make out the checks to “cash,” rather than to him, .Jameson testified, after telling how he had contributed $115,300 to Cannon and other anti-Smith workers and only $32,500 to the Hoover campaign. Asks Reports Jibe The committee produced a telegram in which Cannon requested Jamerson to make his report coincide with the one Cannon had made previously. In this wire, Cannon asked that Jamerson say he gave $48,000 to the anti-Smith committee instead of to Cannon. What became of the $48,000 has not yet been developed. Jameson interpreted Cannon's request as meaning that Cannon was turning over the $43,000 to the Virginia anti-Smith committee. At least, this was the interpretation written by Jameson to Chairman Steiwer of the 1928 presidential campaign investigating committee. “But that does not correspond with your record?” Chairman Caraway insisted w'hen Jameson's record disclosed Cannon never had put his name to any of the “cash check” contributions before the election. “Well, it doesn’t seem to, now does It?” returned Jameson. “No it doesn’t,” agreed Caraw'ay. Records of the anti-Smith committee of Virginia have not yet been obtained to show whether Cannon turned the disputed $48,000 to the committee. Jameson’s testimony also revealed that the Republican campaign officials, the late James W. Good and C. Bascom Slemp, w'ere behind his substantial financing of the antiSmith movement in the south. Good advised him to make the contributions while Slemp introduced him to Cannon, he said. Questioned by Chairman Caraway of the lobby committee, Jameson admitted giving some of the checks to Cannon after the campaign. Referring to Cannon, the witness said “he w'as in debt, and financially embarrassed.” Spent Own Money Jameson then corrected himself, saying he did not mean “financially embarrassed,” but that Cannon “seemed to have spent some of his money in the campaign.” “Anyway, I gave those checks as a gift,” Jameson added. The New Yorker, who insisted before the committee that he was a nonpartisan, w'as called at the behest of Representative Tinkham <R.ep„ Mass.), who first charged that Cannon reported only $17,000 of the $65,300 given by Jameson. Jameson insisted his only interest in making the contributions w'as his ardent faith in prohibition, but Caraway declared that Democrats in the south had used this as a “smoke screen.” Caraway tried to show by other correspondence that other considerations than prohibition entered into the matter. “What are you going to do now that all your Republican clubs in New York have turned w’et?” the chairman asked. “If the Republicans don’t nominate a reasonably dry candidate there is going to be trouble,” Jameson replied.

U. S. to Begin Smash on Makers of Home Brewing Equipment; Backed by High Court Verdict

Dry Forces to Open War on Manufacturers of Bottles, Malt Sellers. Bit Prr9* WASHINGTON, May 6.—Every enforcement weapon in the government's prohibition arsenal is to be used in anew nation-wide drive against large manufacturers of all kinds of paraphernalia used by home brewers and bootleggers in the manufacture of liquors, James Doran,, prohibition commissioner, said today. “After a careful study of the situation brought about as a result of the supreme court decision upholding the government’s right to seize apparatus, we shall proceed with all our strength against manufacturers and stores dispensing such equipment,” Doran said. No change in the policy toward home brewers is contemplated, he added. “Going After Malt Sellers” “We do not plan any invasion of homes on a large scale under this decision, but we certainly snail go after stores selling malt products and other ingredients for making liquor,” Doran said. In the past, Doran said, the treasury has been blocked in its efforts to prosecute such cases, as the courts always have thrown out cases where only equipment for making liquor was involved. Many preparations were sold containing simple directions for making intoxicating liquor, and the treasury long has sought to halt the practice. Holmes Gives Decision The case was appealed to the supreme court by Ike Danovitz, Pittsburgh, a partner in the Feitler Bottle Company, raised the question of whether liquor containers, barrels, bottles, corks, labels, siphons, bottle-caps and other such material might be sold legally. Such articles are carried by thousands of stores throughout the country. Some firms deal in them exclusively. The court’s unanimous decision, handed down by the 89-year-old liberal jurist, Justice Holmes, outlawed the sale of these articles when they are offered in such a way as to indicate they are designed for the illegal manufacture of liquor.

POLLS CHECK SHOiS LIGHT PRIMARY VOTE Smallest Ballot in Eight Years Is Predicted by Party Chiefs. FIGURE CUT TO 50.000 Late Returns From Women, Labor Are Expected to Swell Total. Lightest, primary vote in eight years was forecast, today both toy Republican and Democratic, county chairmen, as returns from scattered precincts at noon showed comparatively few ballots cast in the county. Martin Hugg, Republican county leader, predicted a total vote of not more than 50,000, of which he said 30,000 will be Republican. In 1928 the Republicans tallied 52,676, and in 1925 51,003. Le Roy J. Reach, Democratic county chairman, who Monday forecast a Democratic poll of more than 18,000, today declared he helieved h's party’s total would not exceed 15,000. In 1928 the Democrats polled 24,715 and in 1926 drew 15,072 votes. Women in Afternoon Leaders of both parties said they expected a large turnout of women during the afternoon, and looked for the labor vote to appear between 5 and 6 p. m. Veteran poll workers, comparing time required to mark a ballot today with that, to pull machine levers in last fall's election, the latter approximately one minute and the former three or more, deduced that loss than one-third of November’s record vote would be cast today. Last fall during early voting hours lines formed outside all polling places. Today only scattered precincts reported waiting lines. There appeared to be little hesitancy until the voter approached minor township offices' and delegates to the state convention. Many voters, however, were confused by the number of slates broadcast. Negro Vote Heavy Heaviest voting this morning was in Negro precincts, where interest was high because of two Negro candidates for legislature on the Republican and one on the Democratic ballot. The Ninth ward also reported a comparatively heavy vote. Scattered precincts reported the following votes shortly before noon: First Ward—Second precinct, 125; Sixth precinct, 152; Twenty-third precinct, 121. Second Ward—Sixth precinct, 94; Thirteenth precinct, 96. Third Ward—First precinct, 125; Second precinct, 152; Tenth precinct, 168. Fourth Ward—Second precinct, 174; Fourth precinct, 201; Eighth precinct, 45; Eighteenth precinct, 92; Thirty-sixth precinct, 72. Fifth Ward—Seventh precinct, 39. Sixth Ward—Fifth precinct, 43. Eighth Ward—Third precinct, 154; Ninth precinct, 139. Ninth Ward—Tenth precinct, 62; Twelfth precinct, 154; Fifteenth precinct, 142; Twenty-ninth precinct, 62. Eleventh Ward—Second precinct, 94; Sixth precinct. 108. Twelfth Ward—First precinct, 75; Second precinct. 32. Thirteenth Ward—Eighth precinct, 51. Fourteenth Ward—Seventh preI cinct, 33. Wayne Township—Second orecinct, 62; Nineteenth precinct, 10; Twentieth precinct, 51; Twenty-sec--1 ond precinct, 50; Eleventh precinct, ! 51; Twelfth precinct, 55, and ThirI teenth precinct, 49. ! Slate makers generally were being : accorded vituperation because of the diversity of lists issued. The city hall’s slate, appeared ; early this morning and workers | wearing their badge were seen at j all polling places. The badge is a long streamer of white, with "DcmI ocratic” printed upon it, and a red, ! white and blue shield bearing th3 | bust of Jefferson at the top. The Ku-Klux Klan s’ate of blue, 1 with the eagle at the top, also was | in evidence, esnecially in the First 1 and Ninth wards. At Every Poll Workers representing the Citizens Republican League were stationed at every polling place, and in each ! Negro precinct there were two or three wearing league badges. A slate headed by the words ; Citizens Ticket but bearing the ‘ regular Republican organization | lineup was bolng passed out at the polling places by women wearing “Citizens" badges. These slates are printed in th© ; same color ink as that of the Cit- ; izens Republican League. Very little disorder has been reported. Some compla nts 'were made that only the Republican clerks were giving instructions. George Denny, Republican election commissioner, dividing his deputies in cruising squads of two men each, assigned them to districts, and supplied them with maps on which questionable precincts were marked. The deputies will make frequent trips to the latter throughout the day. After the polls close, the squads will visit £>ll nrec.n'ts as many times as possible, D-nny instructed. He also ordered deputies to oust immediately any election official found intoxicated. Little trouble was reported over the city this morning. In Wayne township DemocfaLc Turn to Page 1L L
