"A|RP|RACY" CASE
T00PEN MONDAY
WJAZ Action in Chicago to
Determine Status of U. S.
on Radio Control.

COniiScaUon of the radio apparatus
of station WJAZ as well as the tmpo-
sition of a fine of $500 on its owners
IS the penalty that may be paid by
that station should it be found guilty
OF ether piracy" as is alleged in the
suit brought by the Department of
Justice, which is to come up for trial
in Chicago Monday.
AS the case against WJAZ is the
first of its kind to be filed against a
hroadcaSting station. however. ii is
believed that judgment against the
station will he victory enough for the
Government and will serve as prece-
dent in determining the rights of the
Department of Commerce to regulate
broadCaSting.
Plans for the Department of Justice
fight against WJAZ and "ether pi
racy' in general have been completed
in Washington and have been for
warded to Chicago officials for their
guidance next week.
Governments Contention.
The Government. II is learned, will
press for conviction of the owners OF
station WJAZ, specifically accused of
broadcasting on a wave length not
assigned to it, under the provisions of
the radio legislation of 1912. which
forbids any transmission of radio sig
nails without written permission from
the Department of Commerce. The
1912 law provides further that assign
ments Of wave lengths shall be in
Guided in the written permit as issued
by the Secretary of Commerce.
Despite the suit brought against il
for illegally operating on n wave
length other than that given it, WJAZ
is continuing it's broadcasts on a wave

Canadian broadcasterS, it was learned
today, and will continue to do SO, un
til q court ruling against the owners
has been obtained.
Its only authorized hours of broad
casting, it was said, are those granted
1t by station KOA, at Denver, with
whom private arrangements were
made for sharing the Denver wave
length.
Should the Zenith Radio Corpora
ton, owners Of WJAZ, prove theil
right to use '"free ether" it would
mean that all of the 500-odd broad
casters of the United States would
have the right to operate at any time
they might see At and on any wave
length. 1t is not believed likely. how
ever, that more than a few of the
broadcasters would avail themselves
of this privilege.
Work With Government
According to Chief Radio Supervisor
w. d. Terrell. practically all of the
broadcasting stations are working
hand in hand with the Government iT
solving the problems of the ether.
The difference between Station
WJAZ and the department over the
matter Of wave length for the Chi
cago station are of more than 81,
months duration. After the Zenith
Corporation had given over its origi
nal interests in broadcasting to the
Edgewater Beach Hotel and had ap
piled for a new wave length, that cor
poration, along with several other Chi
cago interests which were clamoring
for wave lengths, was invited to 6
conference by means of which it wa.
hoped that class "A" lengths could bt

MURCsHISON REPORT
(Bv Dispatcs a. =. Wirel

! LOS ANGELES, July 3. - That the
decision to place the entire case be-
fore the grand jury was at least partly
brought about by secret reports which
Captain Herman Cline received two
days ago from Douglas officials is the
belief of those who have closely fol-
lowed the case.
Captain Cline has refused to divulge
| the contents of the reports from
Douglas, but has stated that most OF
the information is vital to the case.
Those present at the lengthy confer
ence held in Captain Cline's office yes
terday afternoon were: Captain Cline,
Deputy District Attorney Joe Ryan,
Assistant Captain Joe Taylor, Detec-
tive Nick Harris, representing Mrs.
Mcpherson. Attorney Arthur Veitch,
acting for Mrs Mcpherson, and Mrs
Kennedy and, Assistant United States
Attorney j. George Ohannesian.
1t was learned that these officials
went over all the files in the case
and arranged the sequence of the
grand jury investigation.
AS he left the conference in Cap
tain Cline's office, Detective Nick
Harris. declared that both Mrs. Nc
Pherson and Mrs. Kennedy had told
him during a conference the previous
evening that they both desired the
presence of Kenneth G. Ormiston, for
mer radio superintendent at Angelus
temple, in the case.
Ormistons name did not appear on
the subpoena list of the grand jury.
Captain Cline has repeatedly de-
clared that Orrniston has not been
sought for questioning in the case, as
i.no evidence leading to the belief that
he would be a material witness has
| come forth.
Detective Harris also made known
! that he had informed Captain Cline of
several letters he had received on the
Mcpherson case from a woman who
claims to have psychic power. Al
though little credence is placed in the
letters either by Harris or Captain
Cline, they are being investigated,
mainly due to the fact that the first
letter was received at the Harris of
fices six days before Mrs. Mcpherson
arrived at Aqua Prieta.

''Third, that we unhestatingly de-

crime against decency and righteous
ness that we characterize as mon
strous, and though we do not for q

representing a great number of local
Protestant churches, at the meeting
Of it's executive committee:
whereas, there has arisen through
out the nation an intense interest in
the story related by Mrs. Aimee Sem

tha. she was kidnapped and held Tor
practically 80 days in a Mexican cabin,
Ter three kidnapers demanding $780,

of their findings, AID {tI
whereas, there is newspaper re-
port of an investigation by the fed

tigation by the county grand jury OF
Los Angeles county, and
"Whereas, it is apparent to all that
either a crime of most terrible nature
has been perpetrated against Mrs
Aimee Semple Mcpherson, or else a
fraud and hoax that is a shame to
Christianity have been attempted, de-
manding in either case the most en-
thusiastic and honest efforts on the
