BISHOP CANNON MUST STAND TRIAL IN CORRUPT PRACTICES CASE, APPEALS COURT RULES Secretary of Churchman Also Must Face Charges Growing Out of Political Warfare Against A1 Smith’s Election. By f n itcd prr •* WASHINGTON, May 15.—The district court of appeals held today that B: hop James Cannon Jr. must stand trial on charges of violation of the corrupt practices act in activities during the 1928 presidential campaign. T he decision was a reversal of a decision by the district supreme court and was made after the United States supreme court, in a ruling last month, held that the court of appeals had jurisdiction in the case. The court's ruling applies also to ——

Miss Ada L. Burroughs, who served as secretary to th n churchman during the time he was waging political warfare against the election of Alfred E. Smith for the presidency. Both were indicted after an extensive grand jury investigation and agitation in and out of congress for their prosecution. The legal attack on their activities grew out of a contribution of $62,500 to Cannon’s campaign work by E. O. Jamieson, New' York capitalist and ardent prohibitionist. Investigation of this contribution showed that Cannon failed to report it in its entirety to the clerk of the house of representatives, as required by the corrupt practices act. There were ten counts to the indictment, each carrying heavy penalties. GRIDLEY’S LIFE TO BF HISTORY COURSE BASIS Navy Hero’s Career to Be Taught Boys at Summer Camp. Life story of Captain Charles V.

McNutt Patronage Rule ‘True Democracy, ’Says Aid

Handled Jobs So as Not to High Hat’ Workers, Claims Greenlee. Democracy, and not dictatorship, caused Governor Paul V. McNutt to handle some 5,000 state jobs through his office, instead of through the Democratic state organization, it was explained today by Pleas E. Greenlee, McNutt’s secretary, who has handled the patronage. "They would get the false impression that we were trying to 'high hat’ them if we didn't give them personal interviews,” Greenlee declared. "If it were not for that, the method of requiring applicants for jobs to go through their local political organizations would have been more satisfactory.” There still are about 450 jobs left in the statehouse, highway department. and state institutions, Greenlee said. From now on. they will be handled through the local organizations. This is designed to disperse the huge crowds of “deserving Democrats” which have assembled daily at the Governor's office the last three months. The milling crowds have made entrance on other business almost impossible and brought criticism to the administration. Equalization among counties will be attempted with the remaining jobs, Greenlee asserted. Marion county is credited with the largest amount, 310, but protests are registered daily by local politicians who want more. Lake county is second, with but

INTIMIDATION OF girl mm IN ATTACK CASE Investigation Ordered in Accusations Against City Attorney. Investigation of alleged intimidation of witnesses was ordered today by Municipal Judge William H. Sheaffer when a 15-year-old girl failed to appear in court four against Alfred M. Cantwell, attorney. 801 New City Trust building, charged with criminal assault. Cantwell was arrested Saturday, also on charges of common barrator and vagrancy, the former charge under a little used statute forbidding “the encouragement of lawsuits and causing of quarrels. “He was released on $3,000 bond, but Sheaffer ordered new bond today whe he discovered the first surety worthless for lack of proper notarizing. When the 15-year-old girl failed to appear in court Sheaffer ordered her brought in by detectives. They found both the girl and her mother behind locked doors at home, asserting they were fearful of leaving the house after the visits of three men and a woman today. The girl told Sheaffer she recognized the woman as the one alleged to have introduced her to Cantwell and to have taken her to Cantwell’s apartment in the 2200 block, North Meridian street. The apartment, the girl has told detectives, has been the scene of several liquor parties in which she has participated since last Christmas when the first visit is alleged to have occurred. Today, the girl and her mother told the court, two visits were made to theri home, one by two men and the other by the woman and a man. Both cars passed the house several times.
