MAY BLOCK GOVERNMENTS PLANS
If Chicago Judge Does Not Aid De-
partment In This Instance. It is
Feared That No More Convictions

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Sept lit
was openly hintcd Mt the Department.
of Justice to-day that there was Il
sharp clash between Attorney General
Bonapnrte and Judge Lands, of the
United Statese District Court. at Ci,-
cago. which may entail serious re-
suits To the governments anti-corpo-
ration campaign.
And. incidentally, the official head
of the United States District Attorney
Sims of Chicago, may fall. This Is
owing to his apparent reluctance to
carry out the policy of the Attorney
General rs regards the Alton case.
The failure of DistrlctAttorney oim3
to read TO the special grand jury the
letter he received from the Attorney
General, advising that no prosecution
be made Is viewed hy department;
officials as indicating lack of loyal

II may be stated on absolute aulnor-
lily that Attorney Bonapar;c
himself Is Tar from approving the
course of the district attorney.
There is no question that Judge
lands is absolutely his own master
in this case, so far as following his
own predictions is concerned but the
lcar is expressed that, should he fail

lis officials gave the government the
information necessary 10 convict the

AS to District Attorney Sims, 1t Is
quite natural that, having devoted

OF his superiors, is none the less
strongly urged.
