LITTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COLT TO RUTH BURKE, CON
TINUED

"All right, I'll send him bill if
you're sure it's a cheese" said the
accountant to the old storekeeper.
The accountant sent the man a
| bill for the cheese. The supposed
debtor wrote back very Indignantly
saying he was hardware dealer,
and never bought a cheese in mis-
| life. The old man scratched his
head. He seemed to be all at sea;
lthen his eyes frightened. He drew
the paper toward him and put a
little inside the big o. Handing it
back to the accountant he said, as
though everything was now ex-
planned;

a bit, if he thought he would ever

DAUGHERTY In BRAIN
STORM BOOSTS SELF
SEES WHEELER WOBBLY PLOT
TO GET HIM-IS A NICE LIT
TIE BOY AND NEVER DID ANY
WRONG.

Washington, April 23.-Now that
the lunacy trial of Harry Kendall
! Ihaw has come to an end at Phila-
delphla, Harry NJ Daugherty, former
attorney general, is trying to enter
tam the readers of the yellow press
with his brainstorms.
Daugherty has just issued a bread
side IN defense Of himself that in
cludes some of the following thrilling
sensations:
That U. S. Senator B. X. Wheel
er promised the industrial Workers
oil the World, if elected, that he would
drive the attorney general (meaning
Daughertyl from the cabinet.
That he was never a drinking man.
and that he quit entirely when he be-
came attorney general, to keep his
conscience clear.
That the Wright-Martin airplane
scandal was based on lies.
That President Harding was nom
mated and elected the freest man
that ever stepped across the thresh-
cid of the White House.
That there are four doctors and
an undertaken who can testify how
jess Smiths mind gave way, result
ing in his suicide.
That he never saw the mysterious
green house on K. Street.
That he did use the house on H
Street.
That "the shack along the creek"
was a decent place, where nothing
ever took place that was not decent
and wholesome.
That he appointed CASTOR Means
with reluctance and dismissed him in
the face of opposition.
This would indict that Daugherty
feels that his morals and not his re-
cord CT graft as attorney general was
being attached.
Daugherty is expected to spill some
more of the same in a speech at Co
lumbus, Ohio, tonight.

RUSSIAN TRADE DELE
CATION In CANADA
Accused Of Bringing in Cargo of Red
Literature-Just Bunk.
(BY John Rnhnr.N

Ottawa. Can.-Sources unfriendIv
to the soviet government of Russia
have been spreading a story here that
the soviet trade delegation now ia
Canada has brought with it large
quantities of red/propaganda for cir
qulation in this c1aotry. The story
ias been promptly denied by Ya,kC1
head of the delegation. There has
beet. no official statement fruo tie
government Oh the subject, and lie
ss)ry has not been carried hv lie 9a?-
eral news service of tire dominion.
The story, which has been spread
by special sources to many of the pa-
pers throughout Canada, goes SO far
as to charge that the soviet delegates
have brought in flaming posters to be
placarded on the billboards. The
charge seems so absurd that it has
hardly needed the denial of the soviet
delegates themselves.
The explanation given by Yazikov
IS that he has brought in literature
descriptive of conditions in present.
day Russia, which he could not get in
Canada. Such literature would nat
urally be needed in the course of the
work of the delegation in making
trade connections throughout the
dominion.

PROBE OF LABOR SPY
SYSTEM DEMANDED BY
THE WORKERS PARTY
OF AMERICA ALSO

The Central Executive Com
mittee of the Workers Party of
America sent the following tele-
gram to Senator Smith Brook
hart. chairman of the committee
investigating the Department of
Justice while under the direction
of Attorney General Daugherty:
Senator Smith W. Brcokhart,
Senate Office Building,
Washington, ID. c.
The Workers Party of America
in the name of hundreds of thous-
ands of workers demand that
your committee not only investi-
gate bribery and corruption in
the Department of Justice during
the incumbency of Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty but that it also
investigate the labor spy system
of the Burns Detective Agency
and the activities of the Depart
ment cf Justice in the ShOpmen's
strike in 1922. The use of gov
ernmental agencies against the
workers who fight for better
wages and working conditions
and the labor spy system of the
Burns Detective Agency main
tanned to destroy the workers
organizations are of greater in
terests to the working masses Of
this country than the exposure
of bribery and corruption.

CHAS. F. MURPHY
OF new YORK DIES
Long Time Big Chief of Tammany
Hall Dies of Heart FaiIure-Big
Blow to Democratic Party Says
Democratic Political Leaders.

New York, April 25.-Chales F.
Murphy, grand chieftan of Tam
many Hall and fer MANY years a
powerful factor in democratic coun-
ellis of the state and nation, died to-
day OF heart failure, induced by acute
indigestion.
He retired last night, after a busy
day and a hearty dinner, to be awak-
ened this morning by feverish chills
and the pangs of Indigestion. Char
acteristically, he insisted on break
fasting at the usual early hour. I'M
mediately he became aIarminglv i'll
and died few minutes later in the
presence of his physician, a priest, his
daughter Mable, and her husband,
Surrogate James A. Foley.
Ihe tacitCrn genius, who had ruled
the destinies Of Tammany Hall for %
years as successor to the late Richard
Croker, remained conscious to the
end, unaware that death was near.
Mrs. Murphy was in Atlantic Citv.
Blow to South.
Coming at a time when Tammanv
has girded itself for strenuous
presidential campaign, and so soon
after his prOtege, Governor Alfred
p. Smith, had formally entered the
lists for the democratic presidential
nomination, Mr.. Murphy's death
was mOned by high political leaders
as a party misfortune, if not an ac-
tual calamity.
The funeral will in all probability
be held from st. Patrick's Cathedral
Murphy succeeded the late Rich
ard Croker as chieftan of the coun-
try,,s most famous political organi-
zatlon. He was a native New Yorker
having been born here June 20, 1858. /
