DAVIS TO SEEK . EARLY TRIAL IN LOTTERY CASE Pennsylvania Senator Likely Will Discuss Charge at Moose Parley. By Brrippx-Hniearrl y rirtpnper Mtinnee WASHINGTON. Aug. 20-Sena-tor James J. Davis (Rep.. Pa.i Indicted with six others for alleged violation of lottery laws, may be tried early in September. He has asked for an early trial, and the docket of the court in the southern district of New York, where he was indicted, is in such shape that his request probably will be granted. Senator Davis will attend the convention of the Loyal Order of Moose in Cleveland next week. The order is implicated in the lottery charges. Although no longer an active official of the lodge, Davis is an honorary official for life, and it is assumed that he will discuss the case fully in a speech. * Third Senator Indicted The Pennsylvanian is the third senator to be indicted since the turn of the century'. The supreme court in 1906 sustained the conviction of former Senator Burton of Kansas, who was charged with accepting SSOO a month from a St. Louis client which the postofflee department charged with using the mails to defraud. In 1924, the department of justice sought to convict Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana on the allegation that he had represented a client before the interior department. Wheeler had conducted the senate probe which resulted in President Coolidge’s request for AttorneyGeneral Daugherty's resignation, and the indictment was then regarded as “spite work." Wheeler was acquitted by the trial court, and by the senate which conducted a special investigation. Officials Keep Silence Department of Justice officials continue their silence concerning Dr vis' indictment. It was learned, however, that before Davis and the other defendants were indicted. United States Attorney George Z. Medalie and Assistant Attorney Louis M. Treadwell discussed the case with officials here, and it was decided that the prominence of Davis and some of the others would not gain them special treatment. Friends of the defendants sought tq intervene in their behalf to prevent the humiliation of an indictment.

VAN NUYS SAYS NO ISSUE WILL RE SIDESTEPPED Favors Bonus Payment, He Tells Party Workers in ' Greencastle Parley. GREENCASTLE. Aug. 20.—"1f the federal government can appropriate billions to help the railroad corporations, the banks, and the moneyed interests of the nation—"lf the federal government can set up the largest finance corporation in the history of government to come to the aid of stricken business— "Then the federal government can appropriate $2,000,000 to pay the hungry, poverty-stricken, unemployed veteran the bonus, which is not a gift, but merely a small item in the great debt which this nation owes its defenders.” Frederick VanNuys. Democratic senatorial nominee, told a delegation of party workers from central and southern Indiana his views on the bonus and other controversial questions at a conference here Friday. No Pussyfooting, He Says "Go home and assure your people fellow 7 citizens that neither Paul V. McNutt, your Governor nominee, nor I, wil seek to sidestep, pussyfoot or double-crass in this or in any future campaign made in this state," Van Nuys said. He described how before entering the courthouse he w'as questioned concerning his attitude on the bonus by a veteran. “The veteran said, ‘perhaps Mr. Van Nuys, you would rather not commit yourself on this question ” Van Nuys said. “I am willing to commit myself on any and all questions. This is one campaign in Indiana when the people have right to know what a candidate favors and what he opposes. All Entitled to Aid “If I had been a member of the last congress I w'ould have voted for the bonus, just as I w'ould have voted to establish the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to aid business. If one group is entitled to aid, so is the other. “If the people of Indiana elect me to replace Senator James E. Watson and the bonus comes up for consideration in the next congress, I will vote for it. “To my mind if the nation can lend Charley Dawes’ bank $80,000.000. it shouldn't have any reason to quibble over the bonus." R. Earl Peters, state chairman, presided over the Greencastle meeting and at a night conference at Bedford. Today’s conferences will be held at Greensburg and Muncie.

Rockefeller and his wife drove to the hotel in a taxicab. Father Not to Comp “I have come to Chicago because of the serious illness of mv sister, Mrs. McCormick," Rockefeller said. “Since I visited her earlier in the summer. I have suffered an attack of shingles and my physicians have ordered me not to travel. Hence, I was unable to come sooner. Asked whether John D. Rockefeller Sr. planned to visit his daughter. Rockefeller said: “It w'ould be unwise for my father to attempt the trip to Chicago, not because of his health, but because of his advanced age. You must remember he is 93.
