FIGHT RENEWED ON PROMOTION OF WILKERSON Adverse Report May Be Marie on Hoover Choice of Chicago Judge. fly (if \<(Hltpnper Alliance WASHINGTON. May 10— Reconsideration of the three-to-two vote by which five members of the senate judiciary committee recommended confirmation of Judge James Wilkerson may result from decision of the committee to hear new evidence on fitness of the Chicago judge After listening to Donald Richfcx’rg, Chicago attorney, outline new charges against the judge and against many of the witnesses who appeared be.ore the committee in his behalf, the senators agreed to continue hearings this week and let Richberg amplify his case against the circuit court nominee. Richborg's primary charge, that Wilkerson ha* given aid and comfort to tho'e corrupting force' that have made government in Chicago a morkerv of la's and order and a nntional disgrace. • is considered sigmfirant. in view of the fact that the three senators who voted for confirmation of Wilkerson based their stand largely upon his sentencing o.’ A1 Capone. May Be Reversed If one of the three changes his opinion after hearing Richberg. Wilke rsons nomination will go before, the full judiciary committee with an adverse recommendation. Richberg told the committee that it, had been outrageously imposed upon” bv witnesses who supported Wilkerson. and that ‘ spokesmen for and participants in the big racket which has corrupted government in Chicago and Illinois and made uncounted millions for the political and business racketeers have paraded themselves before this committee as an army of civic virtue.’' He desires, he said, to submit evidence to show: That two of the witnesses for Wilkerson were beneficiaries of a receivership in Wilkerson s federal court in which a small group collected more than a million dollars in less than five years.

Profits as Receiver * That Edward J Brundage Wilkerson’s former law partner, who rrretved $244 000 as receiver in the Chicago. Milwaukee A: St. Paul railroad receivership, was appointed bv Wilkcrson as receiver for the Daniel Boone Woolen Mills, which receivership lasted until the United States supreme court found it had been obtained fraudulently.’* That at the same time Brundage was employed at $12,000 a year by the sanitary board as a part of the political squandering of money of the district which has caused indictment and conviction of the president and other members cf the board of trusters." That in the receivership of the Chicago Street Railways, "the power of the court was used not only to pay large and unjustifiable fees to lawyers and receivers, but also to aid Samuel Insult and associates in putting over a consolidation of the street railwav properties which was foisted on the public by fraud and corruption." He also offered in produce evidence attacking the value of indorsements of Wilkcrson by Frank J. Loc:-ch. Robert Isham Randolph and Joseph F’lcming. attorneys and business men.

Formation of a separate Republican organization in Marion county by the anti-Coffin nominees was advocated by Harold D. Kealing. president of the Irvington Republican Club at its meeting Mondaynight. Under Kealings plan, the antiCoffin candidates would form their own organization and make their party contributions to this group, ignoring the Coffin-Hart unit If victorious in November the patronage would go to their own organization and not the opposition Kealing proposed. "I will not listen to the party cry of 'let’s get behind the party' because we can not conciliate with men who would wreck it. and especially one man who would wreck it for what he can get out of it."

DEMANDS ADDITIONAL INDIANA ECONOMIES Joe R. Beckett Warns Against Hichrr Rate in 1933 Tax. Additional economies of $29,000.000 are necessary in Indiana taxing units if the people expect to evade a higher tax rate in 1933. Joe R. Beckett, executive secretary of the Indiana Association for tax justice, declared today after examining figures in the state tax commissioners' office. Reports to the state tax board indicate that assessed valuation of taxables throughout Indiana will be reduced 10 per cent or fron $5 073.241.146 to approximately $4 500.000.000." Beckett said. - He gave figures showing that the s'ate'c poor relief expenditures have increased 100 per cent in the last year. This coupled with tax delinquencies of approximately $20,000,000 means more expenditures with less money to meet them in 1933. Beckett explained. PASTOR LEAVES $22,000 The $22,000 estate of Dr. Frederick E Taylor, pastor of the First Baptist church, who died recently, was bequeathed to his widow.

In the photograph above Bailey's daughter Wanctte is pointing out. one of the growths, and below is a close-up of the chair leg. showing how the piece of furniture is starting its foliage. FIGHT ON DRY PLANK Pennsylvania G. 0. P. Split on Platform Move. Ho Scrippe-Hotrarit \nrspnprr Alliance WASHINGTON. May 10—Degree of wetness of the Pennsylvania Republican organization, to be determined at Philadelphia next Saturday, mav forecast the moisture which will be included in the Republican platform at Chicago. A faction of the Kevgtone organization. headed by William S. Vare. Philadelphia “boss" and his associates, will demand that the state committee adopt a wringing wet pledge of prohibition repeal. Another faction will advocate that the Pennsylvanians, do nothing which later might embarrass the administration. Governor Gifford Pinchot. who favors continuation of the Republican bone-dry policy, will have very little to say about what is decided, because his senate candidate, former Major-General Smedley D. Butler, was defeated overwhelmingly after promising to remain dry for six years. Senator James J. Davis, elected by more than 350.000 majority, advocated outright repeal in his campaign. but since Davis is not a delegate either to the state convention or the national convention, it is not certain what he will do at Philadelphia.
