case was tried in the briefest space
Of time. and terminated successfully
on last Friday when Attorney Gles-
ner Fowler of Minneapolis, the at
torney Of record; Attorney Hammond
Turner of st. Pauf and Attorney H.
Cannon Of Minneapolis tried the case
Of Mrs. Maize Mcdonald, 1909 4th
street south, charged with murder in
the first degree in the killing of VIM.
Briggs, April 2, at her home. The
masterful way in which the case was
handled by the defense has attracted
attention from all sources. and the
finding of a not guilty verdict has in
creased not only the respect for these
attorneys. but has given a greater re-
spect for their well known ability.
Cooperation Won.
Attorney Fowler's address to the
jury was a masterpiece never to be

fact, so touching was 1t that tears
coursed from the eyes of the jurors
and people assembled in the court.
The zeal. ability and force displayed
by these gentlemen should give con-

Cities that though the late Frederic
McGhee may be gone. his spirit and
eloquence still lives by those present

The cooperation of Attorneys

VOTERS LEAGUE
LETTER IS GIVEN
DUE ATTENTION
Reasons Why Bulletin-Appeal
Kept Identity During Cam
paign Given.

On April 25th this paper received
a letter from the Office of the secre-
tary OF the Colored Voters League.
but signed by q purported committee
of that organization. Because Of the
mental immaturity evidenced In its
composition we at first determined to
disregard 1t. but have since changed
our mind and will answer one of its
several questions. The question fol-
lows verbatim:
why your paper is not willing to
cooperate with this organization to
present the truth and facts to the
people Of all candidates. regardless
and impartial to personal INTEREST,"
Our Answer.
Our answer Is that the columns OF
the BULLETIN-APPEAL have been,
now are and always will be used to
present the truth and the facts. az
We know to be. to the people cover
lps ell political candidates. and our
advertising space may be used by any
political candidate at the regular
legal rate for advertising, under the
same regulations as required by all
other reputable newspapers. We dc
not, however, lend our columns tc
anything that poses as an impartial
political organization but which In
reality seeks to promote only partisan
and personal preferences.
Our Questions.
Now may we ask the Colored vot.
ers' League two questions:
Why is It that after announcing
that the Colored Voters League
would hold meetings and invite all OF
the candidates to address it so tha,
q fair conclusion as to the qualifica.
ton Of each might be reached. that
the Colored Voters League neve,
held q single public meeting at which
all of the candidates were invited, OF
even expected to appear?
Why did the Colored Voters
League hold but one meeting UN.
DER IT'S NAME after the primaries
and during the entire election cam
paign, and hold that meeting in the
afternoon If 1t had anything but par.
tisan purposes?

MAYOR NELSON IS
REELECTED over
GEORGE |. S|EGEL
Labor Candidates whispering
Campaign" Beaten by
Votes Tuesday.

Mayor Arthur E. Nelson was re-
elected as st. Paul's chief executive
Tuesday. defeating George L. Siegel,
the Labor candidate, in one of the
hottest campaigns In the history OF
that city.
Returns available early indicated
that Mayor Nelson would have q ma
jority Of nearly 5000 in a total vote
between $1,000 and 10000.
When eos of the city's 216 pre-
cincts had reported. on the mayor
atty contest, Mayor Nelson had lead
of 5,062 votes over his Laborite op-
ponent.
The election was marked by heavy
voting In the early hours of the day
in the Seventh, Tenth and Eleventh
wards. and by rush to the polls in
all wards late in the day.
The campaign itself was marked by
more bitterness than has been inject
ed into any election in st. Paul in
many years, exceeding even the bit
ter fight between former Mayor L. C.
Hodgson and William Mahoney In
1920.
Mr.. Siegel was the first to open his
campaign. He began a speaking tour
of st. Paul, March I, with the result
that he led Mayor Nelson in the pri-
mary election. March IS. by 1922
votes, inasmuch as the mayor made
NO campaign in the primaries.
After the primary election, both
candidates began a speaking cam
paign that took them to every ward
of st. Paul. Mr.. Siegel made more
than $50 speeches. while the mayor
made nearly 500. Frequently they
spoke from the same platform and
these debates were characterized by
much heckling from the audience.
Siegel Comedies Defeat.
Defeat of Mr.. Siegel was conceded
by his headquarters at midnight,
while Nelson headquarters. a. early
as 10 p. NJ, had issued q statement
asserting the mayor had been re-
elected.
In an informal statement Mayor
Nelson said that the election had
demonstrated that est. Paul wishes
to continue to progress"
Mr.. Siegel said at midnight that
he had nothing to regret"
II have made the best fight I
could" Siegel added. II have been
able to smile through II all. can
smile now in defeat Just 90 coul1 -
victory. I thank all of my support
ers for their unselfish efforts in my
behalf"
The Labor candidate apparently
carried eight Of the twelve wards, the
Second. Third, Fourth. Fifth, Sixth,
Eighth, Ninth and Twelfth, while
Mayor Nelson carried the First, Sew
enth. Tenth and Eleventh.
Each candidate carried his own
precinct and his own ward.
The Second ward. Siegers home,
failed to come up TO his expectations,
but the Seventh ward went almost
three to one for Nelson, the Eleventh
more than two to one and the Tenth
ward went strongly for the mayor.

Congress Bride Trail
Barred BY Grand Jury

Chicago.-A new political hornets
nest was uncovered in the report of
the special federal grand jury before
which Attorney General Harry NJ
Daugherty appeared. Two members
of congress are accused of having ac-
cepted money. No names are given
and the nature of the bribe is not dis
closed. One or more Officials of the
government" are accused of having
used official information for purposes
of speculation. Other unnamed In
dividuals, presumably prominent in
Washington, are accused of having ac-
cepted money to obtain clemency for
prisoners, and of having paid money
for permits for Intoxicating liquor. The
main purpose of the grand jury's work
is reflected in four indictments which
were returned in the United States
veterans bureau case. Col, Charles
r. Forbes, former director Of the bu-
reau. and Col. John w. Thompson
millionaire contractor of st. Louis and
Chicago, are the only two persons in
dicted.

u. S. SENATORS ASK
FAVORS FOR ALIENS
Many Poles and JerOs Pay
for Passage to America.

Warsaw.-Sixty thousand Poles and
Jews have registered at the American
consulate in Warsaw and are now
awaiting their turn for American vises.
Under the American 3 per cent law
this fills Poland's quota for the next
two years. If Poland's quota is re-
duced so per cent by the new Johnson
bill. enough immigrants have regis
tered to fill the quotas for the next
four years.
During the last few months seven
out of every ten letters received at
the consulate have been from senator's
and congressman pleading that special
favors be shown certain Jewish immi-
grants-and occasionally one asking
special consideration for Pole.
The letters, which are being typed
by hundreds Of officers and legislators
in Washington, are the result of power
full political pressure upon the writer's
by the Hebrew Immigrant Aid society
known as the "Hias." This society
maintains large lobby in Washing
ton under the direction Of Isadore
Hershield, an immigration lawyer and
the former president of the organiza-
ton. American officials allege that
Hershfield is receiving $4,000 year
for. the direction Of this work.
Another powerful group maintaining
a huge lobby in Washington in order
to defeat the Johnson bill is the steam
ship lines. Eight of the largest trans
Atlantic lines stand to lose millions of
dollars annually if congress halts the
flood of immigrants.
1t is conservativeIy estimated by
American immigration authorities in
the Baltic states that these companies
have collected approximately 100000
prepaid passages from American rela-
tives Of would-be immigrants. The
passage money resting in the Golfers
of the companies totals more than
$40 100000.

FRIENDLY ALIEN
SEEKS S468,632
Otto Helms Tells of Signing
Away $16,0OO,0O Dur
ing the War.

Washington.-Otto Helms, friendly
alien and stormy petrol of the Bosch
Magnetic controversy, which is due to
come to a head in New York courts
next April, signed away 100000
worth of property as the price of his
liberty during the war, according to
his testimony in the District of Column
bia Supreme court, where he seeks to
recover s$4GS, 632 in cash from the alien
property custodian.
This money, according to Helms, was
his own personal property and was in
no way connected with Robert Bosch,
an alien enemy, or the Bosch Magnetic
company of Springfield, Mass.
Helms contends that he was not de-
clared an alien enemy, that he was
never interned and that the seizure OF
his money was unlawful. The govern
ment contends that on April 16, 1918,
Helms walked into the office of Francis
P. Garvan, chief of the bureau of in
vestigation Of the Office of the alien
property custodian in New York and
without ever having been asked to sur
render any property, turned over the
money as belonging to Robert Bosch
of Stuttgart. Germany.
Helms told an altogether different
story on the witness stand. He said
that he was threatened with intern
ment at Fort OgIethorpe, Ca, and with
a prison sentence of ten years If he
failed to turn over the money or the
Bosch Magnetic works, which were
valued by the owners at $16,000O00.
Mr.. Caravan, who is said to have sus-
pected that Helms had sent the cash
to Bosch in Germany, was charged
with having said, in effect. to Helms,
Eve are going to get your property,
anyway. If we intern you all your
property will fall to the government
anyhow"
Referring to Garvan, Helms testified
"They took my check book out of my
valise, wrote out the check on the
Hartman National bank for $468,c32
and told me to sign it. | did as | was
told to and signed the check. / did
not want to be separated from my
family or be informed or sent to
prison"
