Chicago Lawyer Held for Trial on

charge of false pretenses growing out
of an alleged worthless check trans

of Pennsylvania avenue drug store,

similarly charged, was released on
bond.
Charles Selden, jr., lawyer and
financier, yesterday told the police
that a check for $500 cashed for
Macon at a local bank had been re-
turned because of insufficient funds
to meet it. Macon gained the con-
fidence of Selden, it is stated, by
representing he was member of
the Selden family in Virginia, al
though his name was spelled with an
20" while the Virginia end of the
family used an "e" in the spelling.
Two checks Selden cashed proved
all right, but the third one was re-
turned. During Macon's residence at
Raleigh Hotel, it is stated, he spent
most of his time in a rocking chair
in the lobby and his constant rock

Detectives Fowler and Flaherty,
who arrested the defendants. were
told that a number of checks had
been cashed at the hotel for Macon.
Several of them, it is stated, were
returned because of insufficient
funds to meet them.

Sermons by Radio
Hit by Minister
AssFo0L's Paradise
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Core spondence of the Associated Press.
ADDLESTONE, Surrey, England,
June 16.-What he describes as "the
lazy habit of wireless" has been
strongly denounced by the Rev. A.
Cunning Vicar of Addlestone. in his
parish magazine. There is no longer
the packed church to which we have
been accustomed during Lent" as
serts the vicar. "and the reason for
this is the wireless.
Anybody who thinks he can wor-
ship God by lolling back in an easy
armchair and listening by radio to the
beautiful singing of the choir at st.
So-and-So's, or the oratorical effects
of the Bishop of Kamchatka,' is SIM
ply living in a fools paradise. True
worship demands sacrifice. People
who are too lazy to go upstairs and
put their things on and come to the
house of God on Gods day are gross
ly neglecting their duty.
I'VE must face the fact that in
wireless has been found another pow
erful recruit added to the phalanX of
counter attractions which, in their va
rious ways, continue to keep the peo-
pie out of the churches"
The British Broadcasting Company,
which controls most of the wireless
entertainment in the London area,
has recently declined to broadcast
Sunday sermons, excepting on rare
occasions, because of the objections
of ministers that their congregations
would be materially reduced if the
practice was followed generally.

SHENANDOAH TRIP
Flight to Minnesota Planned
for This Month Held
lnadVisabEe.

The flight of the dirigible Shenan-
doah to Minnesota, which had been
planned for early this month, has
been postponed for late August or
early September.
The change in plans, as announced
at the Navy Department, was due TO
Summer weather conditions in the in
terror and to the schedule of opera
tions mapped out for the airship after
her return from Maine.
Flying conditions over the sea N
the matter of temperature and free
dom from thundershowers at this
time of the year are satisfactory" it
was stated. whereas the conditions
in the interior of the country, with
frequent thunderstorms and varying
temperatures, make airship naviga-
ton inadvisable."
While the Shenandoah probably
could go 20 the interior safely, storms
and other conditions prevalent there
might cause a considerable loss of
helium, which would not be regarded
as justified.
The program of the Shenandoah
during July calls for tactical maneu-
vers with the battleship Texas off the
Atlantic Coast.

KLAN PARADE DATA
Protests to President Prompt
Sheriff. to Submit Full Facts
to SWampscott.

Feeling that President Coolidge, in
the face of numerous protests being
received at Swampscott regarding the
Ku Klux Klan demonstration here
August 8, might like to be in posses
sion of all the facts pertaining to the
affair, Col. c. o. Sheriff., superia-
tendent of public buildings and public
parks, yesterday sent to the Presi-
dent all the information he has at
hand officially in this connection.
The data included copies of cor
respondence between l.. A. Mueller,
imperial representative of the Invisi-
BILE Empire, in charge of arrange
mentS for the ceremonial on the Mon
uments Grounds, and Col Sheriff., to-
gether with a brief explanation of
the action taken.
There was no request received from
the President for this information
Col. Sheriff. said today. but it was
thought advisable to keep the EXecu,
tive in touch with the situation, since
his attention had been called 10 the
demonstration by opponents of the
parade and Sylvan Theater service.
Col Sheriff. issued to the Klan a
permit for the use of the outdoor thea,
ter back of the Monument as a mat
ter of routine and in accordance with
the policy of showing no discrimina-
ton between rganizations asking per
mission to make use of the grounds
for unselfish, patriotic, political
purposes. The imperial Representa-
tive gave assurance of the Klan's good
faith in this respect. it is pointed out
and Col. Sheriff. had no alternative
but to issue a permit.
Approval Not Asked.
In his letter to Mr.. Coolidge, Col
Sheriff. did not ask for an opinion
from the President as to whether OF
not he approved of the issuance of the
permit, or whether it should be re
voked. The letter constituted merely
a review of the facts as contained in
the official records, for the informa
Ifon OF the President" Col. Sheriff.
stated today.
The Klan has made it known that
the meeting on the Monument
Grounds will be of religious and pa
triotic nature, based on it's creed OF
100 per cent Americanism. Nc
masks will be worn by the partici
pants.
The District Commissioners already
have issued a permit for a monster
parade on Pennsylvania avenue i'm
mediately preceding the Sylvan Thea

tests filed by various anti-Klan bodies
have announced they will not revoke

ROME, July l CVia Paris, July A.
The trial of Gen. de Bono, whose ac-
quittal by a senatorial commission of
innumerable crimes and misdemeanors
alleged by his political opponents has
Just been announced, bids fair to be-
come one of the most famous in
modern political history.
The extent of the triumph of this
general in the Italian army, former
national police commissioner, chief of
the national Blackshirt militia and
military director of the Fascist in the
march on Rome, is only fully evident
after careful reading of the mass of
alleged or admitted crimes or irreg-
ularities, including active completely
mentioned IN the senatorial report.
Charges Divided.
The senatorial commission divided
the charges into three claSses-alleged
acts of De Bono which, even if COM
mitted, do not constitute crimes; al
legged criminal acts of De Bono the
existence of which were not proved,
and admitted Crimes for which De

The commission found that MANY
documents, official or private, by
which, it was alleged, De Bono's guilt
would be proved it could not trace.
Some alleged material witnesses fled
from the country and could not be To-
Gated. Some material witnesses now
are imprisoned, charged with the Mat
teotti murder and therefore their tes-
timony is suspicious. Otherwise cred
ible testimony was controyerted by
functionaries of the government who
were in position to know the facts
Hence the whole case, laboriously
built up by the opposition seeking to
involve the Mussolini government in
the Matteotti murder, collapses. The
Senate found that De Bono had re-
ceived a commission of 400, 900 lire on
the sale of government war material
to a private firm, but it was not prov
ed that this sum was exacted from
the firm as contribution toward the
expenses of the Fascist march on
Rome or was paid him as a general
of the "Blackshirts" and not as an
individual,

not proved that De Bono had prelim-
mary knowledge of the crime
The Senate found that assa.ulters
of the opposition leader, Amendola,
calmly proceeded te the militia bar
racks unmolested by the police, but
it could not prove that the militia
director, De Bono, was personally
responsible for this lapse of justice,
adding:
"It should be remembered that part
of the blame attributed to him may
be explained by the lack of necessary
preparation for so important an Of
flee with which he suddenly was in
vested"
The Senate expressed criticism for
De Bono for taking the whole Mat
teotti case away from the police and
under his personal exclusive super
vision, but it found that this might
have been due to his zeal to track
the criminals.
Dumini Furnished Passport.
1t was found that Dumini, alleged
murderer of Matteotti, was furnished
with passport by national police, un-
der a false name and date-the date
being falSified SO as to appear it was
issued before De Bono became police
director-but it did not find that De
Bono was personally responsible.
Much evidence tending to directly i'm
plicate De Bono in the Matteotti crime
was found to be hearsay, either uncon-
firmed or denied by first-hand wit
neSSeS.
Donati. who originally made the ac-
cusations, has fled to France after
formal threats by the Fascist leaders.
De Bono is now free to bring charges
against him for defamation of char
acter, but he has not done so yet.
The opposition demands privately
publicly it cannot do anything because
of the press-assembly gag-that since
De Bono is not guilty of crimes which
the Senate found were committed by
somebody. judicial measures be taken
to find out who committed them.
