SENATE OPENS CAMPAIGN FUND ’ QUIZ OF BISHOP Committee Probes Financial Activities of Southern Church Head. By Lnited Prctl ,WASHINGTON Feb. 12.—The senate campaign funds Investigating committee had before it today a mass of evidence relating to the personal and political financial transactions of Bishop James Cannon Jr. The committee planned its effort to determine whether the southern Methodist bishop diverted campaign money to his personal accounts. Five bank officials testified Wednesday. It was the committee’s first investigation under a resolution making its powers retroactive to the 1928 presidential campaign. The Cannon matter was suggested by Representative George Holden Tinkham (Rep., Mass.), who has charged that Cannon violated the corrupt practices act. Trace Bank Account

The bearded Tinkham/ long an memy of the bishop, sat across the committee table from Cannon as Chairman Gerald P. Nye endeavored to trace an SB,OOO account through three banks. It was shown at a senate lobby (ommittee hearing last year that one of the checks given Cannon by E. C. Jameson of New York for nnti-Smith campaign work in the south, was for that amount. The total of Jameson’s political contributions was $65,300. S. L. Barrow, president of the First National bank of Blackstonc, Va., testified Wednesday that on Oct. 23. 1928, a New r York draft for SB,OOO was deposited in Cannon’s account. It was withdrawn Feb. 8, 1920. Bankers Are Witnesses F W. Sheffield, cashier of the Rank of Crewe, at Crewe, Va., testified a check for $8,080.67 subsequently was deposited to Cannon’s account as executor of the estate of Mrs. Mary Moore. On Oct. 3, 1929, the account of Cannon, executor, was transferred to the account of Jame3 Cannon Jr., according to Sheffield, who said the account still was in effect. Cannon made no objection to the present investigation. He broke up a lobby fcommittee hearing on June 3, 1930. by questioning the jurisdiction of the committee and storming from the committee room. Other witnesses were Perry C. Seay, vice-president of the American Bank and Trust Company, Richmond: Wade H. Cooper, president of lhe Commercial National bank and •■he Continental Trust Company, Washington, D. C.. and J. A. Booker, cashier of the Citizens Bank and Trust Company of Blackstone.

Ind. Mother’s Lucky Find WHEN we find that some slight adjustment makes a marvelous, improvement in a child we wonder why wc hadn’t thought before to give the child this help. A good example is the experience of Mrs. Wm. Harrington, 227 Grace St., Indianapolis. She says: “My little girl was doing fairly well, but I noticed she didn’t eat like she should and was cross and listless. “I wanted to do something for her, and my mother recommended California Fig Syrup, so I gave her some. Betty improved so much I wonder why I didn’t do something for her stomach and bowels before. It relieved her sluggishness, gave her a good appetite and plenty of energy.” To point up a child's appetite, increase energy and strength, assist digestion and assimilation, there’s nothing more effective than pure vegetable California Fig Syrup. Doctors advise its use to open the bowels during colds and children’s diseases, or whenever bad breath, coated tongue, headaches, listlessncss, etc., warn of constipation. The genuine, always bears the name California. So look for that when buying. At all drugstores.

DEMOCRATS ARE OPTIMISTIC AS CONFLICT NEARS Meeting Will Discuss Dry Question and Prepare for 1932. by RAYMOND CLAPPER L’nited Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.—Preparations for an aggressive presidential campaign are going forward within the Democratic party. They are based upon a political situation which has given the party’s leaded optimism unequalled sinca Woodrow Wilson was nominated in 1912. This is the situation behind the call of Chairman Raskob for a meeting of the Democratic national committee to be held here March 5, the day after congress adjourns. Party leaders will consult during this meeting as to the outlook in their respective states toward the prohibition issue, which is regarded

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

In both parties as likely to be the dominant question #t next year’s presidential struggle. One group in the Democratic party believes the Wickersham report and President Hoover's opposition to repeal of the eighteenth amendment or its revision as favored by a majority of the Wickersham commission, offers an opportunity for their 'party to declare aggresscively for 'a change. In a speech last week Jouett Shouse. chairman of the Democratic national executive committee, said states which will send a majority of delegates to the next national convention have registered verdicts against prohibition. Another element In the party, led by southern drys, still is loyal to the eighteenth amendment. Their view was voiced in the house this week by Representative John C. Box (Dem., Tex.). Box referred to Chairman Raskob as ‘‘one who cares not for either party or the principles of either, but ! desires to lead it to perform in the ; circus ring prepared by the Associai tion Opposed to Prohibition.” Whether any attempt will be made to commit the national committee on prohibition at the coming meeting is uncertain. Falconry, the art of hunting with trained birds, was known in China about 2,000 B. C.
