Charged in Speech
BIZ United Press

Bp United Press
DENVER, Colo, July 15.-That
there is an organized band Of bank
robbers, limited to 900 members,
with headquarters in Syracuse, N.
Y, was the statement of Oscar Carl
strom, attorney general of Illinois,
before the American bar association
here.
The members are bound by a code,
the penalty being death if it is
broken, he said. They maintain the
best legal talent and have restau-
rant and council rooms over their
lawyers office in Syracuse.
Carlstrom said this organization
was not an isolated one and that
practically every type of criminal
now belonged to some association.
Other speakers fiayed the 'techni.
calities and absurdities" of present
day American law, and asserted that
mediocre legislators, liquor and the
"jazz generation" were in part re-
sponsible for felonious times.

FRIENDS OF
COURT HIT
SHUMAKER
Hold 1925 Report of Dry
League Head Is Con-
temptuous.
BRIEF BY SIX LAWYERS
Asserts Leader Has Failed
to Purge Self.

Not only is the 1925 annual report
of DR.. Edward S. Shumaker, super
intendent or the Indiana Anti-Sa-
loon League, contemptuous in it's re
marks concerning the State SUI
prene Court, but Shumaker has
failed in his numerous defense
pleadings to purge himself of guilt.
This was the high light in brief
submitted to the high court today
by the special committee of six at
torneys, appointed some time ago
to study various aspects Of the con-
tempt charge brought by Attorney
General Arthur l.. Gilliom.
Punishment Probable
Shumaker's legal aids, Ethan A.
Miles and Jess E. Martin, attorneys
for the league, alleged to have par
ticipated in the preparation Of this
report, which fiayed the court for
its attitude toward enforcement of
the prohibition law, have purged
themselves, the committee held. Not
withstanding the result Of today's
brief, all three probably will be tried
for publishing the report.
No recommendation was made by
the committee as to the degree Of
punishment that should be inflicted.
Five members of the committee
of six, known as friends of the
court" concurred in the recommen-
dations contained in the brief. The
sixth member, Cassius C. Shirley of
Indianapolis, differed with the others
as to the contemptuousness of Shu-
makers report.
The report was transmitted to
Chief Justice David A. Myers this
morning by Moses B. Larry of In
dianapolis, another member of the
committee.
Dissenting Brief
Shirley, who submitted a dissent
ing brief, held the report would be
in contempt If it had been directed
at pending cases, but since Shu-
maker had cited cases already ad-
Indicated, the denial of his inten-
tions to belittle the court is suffi-
ci ent to purge him.
Shirley took his view on the
theory that Shumaker's denial is
truthful, but if Shumaker's state
ments in defense are untrue, he has
laid himself open to prosecution on
charges Of perjury, Shirley said.
The majority brief set out the
parts believed contemptuous, and
held the court has the power to or
der summary punishment for those
who belittle it in the eyes Of the
public"
Other members of the committee
are George o. Dix of Terre Haute,
Dan w. Simms of Lafayette, Evan
B. Stotsenberg Of New Albany and
Fred G. Cause Of Indianapolis.
Attorneys for Shumaker and his
associates were expected to file a
brief in answer to that filed by the
committee. The court probably will
be called into session late this month
to decide on the penalty, If punish
ment is to be given.
