BURNS IN
COUNTER
CHARGE:
Detective Says Juror
Was Approached BY
Government Agent.
CLAIM is DENIED
Juror States He Was Not
At Place Where Alleged
Interview Occurred.
By United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Nov. Z. - The
government today issued a subpoena
Tor II Mr.. Jcffrcys, official of one
of Harry f. Sinclair's oil companies
III New York to testify before the
grand jury investigating an alleged
jury tampering conspiracy in the
FallSinclair oil conspiracy trial.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 7.-Willam
j. Burns, noted detective, charged
today that the government had tam
pcred with the Fall Sinclair jury.
This claim by Burns after he had
been called before the grand jury
investigating an alleged jury tam
pcring conspiracy in the Fall-Sin-
clair oil conspiracy case, was
promptly denied by the governments.
Burns was before the grand jury
TO explain why his men shadowed
Fall-Sinclair jurors. He afterward
charged that government agent,
II. II. Lamb, talked with Norman
Glascock, one of the Jurors, on Oc-
tobcr 20.
Lamb, called before the grand
jury Immediately. said he never
met Glascock and denied he had
anything TO do with the case.
Lamb is a special assistant to
L. :. Attorney General Sargent, in
charge of antitrust prosecution.
Government attorneys pointed out
that his duties could not possibly
include the duty Of a mere shadow
ing agent.
Burns told reporters that his
,hargcs, in the form of an affidavit
by William V. Long, a Burns agent,
had been filed with the government
last week.
License Numbers Mixed
United States District Attorney
Pcyton Gordon reported that no de-
partmcnt of justice agent had been
connected with the case until after
the grand jury investigation of the
alleged tampering conspiracy starr
ed
Glasscock himself denied ever
having been at Potomac FLYING
Field, where, according to Burns,
the Justice department man, had in
tcrviewed him.
Government men said the Burns
man apparently had only mixed up
license numbers of 81 ear he was
shadowing when he arrived at the
conclusion that it was govern
mcnt man who had later been seen
talking with Glascock.

BY Herman N. Bundesen, M. d.
Commissioner

In this weeks issue Of 'Chicago's
Health" DR.. Herman N. Bundesen,
commissioner Of health, compares a
well-built and healthy body with that
beloved, stout old vessel, "Old Iron
sides"
Says DR.. Bundesen of this gallant
ship: "She could resist the cannon
balls Of her enemies and shots popped
off her sides because she was built
well, made Of stout oak and manned
by a crew that dehed danger and
knew no fear.
I'm the longevity of this old battle
ship there is a fine health lesson to
be learned by our present generation,
to build up our bodies so that all
forms of disease will pop off of them
like the balls shot at Old Ironsides.'
"Good building depends not only
upon the materials employed, but also
upon the methods by which these ma
terials are put together. We must
not only eat the right food, but eat it
in such manner that it will bring

graduates, journeyed from Chicago,
Detroit, Tuskegee, Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, and other points

ennial reunion, and to carry back to
those not able to come the story Of

stitute.

sided over by Robert S. Abbott, editor
Of the Chicago Defender, and presi-
dent Of the Hampton Alumni Associa-

development and Strengthening of the
organization of the alumni The pro-
posed program for the next two years
was included in this report.

1T is decreed that no wastes shall
remain in the body, but shall be
thrown off regularly and completely.
Natural fatigue induced by our daily
labors must be slept Off and rested
off regularly; the lungs must at all
times receive a constant supply of

ways of our bodies must be 'swabbed'
frequently and we'll" says the COM
missioner
Let US man the upper deck with
an army Of healthy teeth; let the rig
ging Of our bodies (the nerves, mus
cles, bones and sinews) be firm and
invulnerable like those of the ship we
now admire so much.
"There is nothing better in life that
so gains admiration, insures long life
brings success and victory to most Of

Physical and mental health win most
if not all, of our battles" concludes the

and the Post Master General is re
questing that the people as a whole
send greetings Of a character which
will be BETTING when the new history
written from the compilation of the
messages and the experiences of this
voyage by Lindbergh himself.
1t is an undeniable fact that Lind
bergh made the voyage unse1hshly and
not as a commercial proposition. The
one point to be commended is that
when $7,500.00 was offered as a trophy
he asked that the money be given
to the widows and mothers Of the lost
fiers Of France. He has been offered
as much as 100000 per day with a
contract carrying 365 days, making
a total of $3,6500OO00. He refused
point blank to accept such a propo-
sition. He refused vaudeville and
other engagements and it is evident
beyond all reasonable doubt that Lind
bergh is an apostle of God. No citi-
zen Of any section Of the world will
refuse these opportunities to become
wealthy BY an act that covered SO
hours unless he had implicit conf
dence in the mighty power of the Crea-
tor. Where can there be found an
other man, old or young, in this nation
who would have refused the offers
made this, the worlds uncrowned
master of the air? To you Captain
Lindbergh, we extend our everlasting
hope that the vision of your untold
dreams will be as marvellous in the
future as it has been in the past To
your mother you owe all. 1t was
through pain and sorrow that she
gave to the world your being and it
is the hope of millions of mothers
that the new measurer of the air will
have long and prosperous life
Postmaster Arthur c. Lueder says
that the sudden jump in the sale of
air mail stamps indicates that the
volume Of mail which will greet the
flyer upon his arrival will be greater
than that ever received by an individ-
ual on a single occasion. In addition
to greeting Lindbergh, Postmaster
Lueder suggests that each mailer ex-
tend the flyer an invitation to visit
Chicago by air at his earliest convent
ence.
The pilots and field men at the Chi
cago landing field are sending an
unique greeting to their air buddy.
The only address will be picture OF
the flyer surrounded BY the signatures
Of his comrades at the field.
The rate for air mail is ten cents
per half ounce. Ordinary stamps may
be used, but the words "Air Mali
must appear on the envelope.

Danville, Va, June s-The story OF
James FELTON,, who says he recently
escaped from peonage in Georgia, has
been communicated to the United
States Department OF Justice in Wash
ington by Champe- Barksdale, United
States commissioner here, in the be-
lief that the government is better pre-
pared than any other agency to de-
termine the truth or expose the falsity
Of the story.
II assume that the government VIII
refer the matter to the federal attor-
new OF the Georgia district" Mr..
Barksdale said, "or an agent may be
sent there"
In the meantime FELTON, remains vol
UNFAIRLY in detention here though ne
has betrayed anxiety for the past
week to be freed. FELTON, told Off
GERS and newspaper men Tuesday the
name Of the man, who, he says, holds
seventy colored men and women in
peonage in Georgia. FELTON, calls him
DR.. King, but does not know the
given name. The plantation is near
Lexington and is served by small
railway The nearest city of size, he
says, is Athens, 81 miles away.
The name of the deputy sheriff who,
FELTON, charges, is cognizant Of peon-
age conditions, is John Paul FELTON,
says he was in peonage one year, four
months and fourteen days. He escaped
two weeks ago through swamp and
went without food for three days.
"They had As men and Is women
when | left" FELTON, said. Some of
them worked on the farm and some
in the sawmill We got the same food
three times a day, peas and corn
bread. We could not sing, write let
tiers or talk, and when we did not work
fast enough, we were whipped with a
strap.
These burns" he said, extending
his hands and revealing livid scars,
"were caused by pouring hot babbitt
on them in the swamill when | did not
work fast enough" Displaying gaps
between the teeth Of the upper and
lower jaws, he said the teeth had been
beaten out by guard. FELTON, says he
saw FIVE men shot and hit by an ak
were killed because their plot to escape
was discovered. All were killed, he
insists, at the same time. Two others
disappeared and never returned. Eel
toms peculiar gaze, which has led
some to believe he is mentally I'M
sound, is due, he says, to working
underground in West Virginia mines.
He is of robust physique, talks bet
ter than the average Negro and knows
about the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People, to
officers of which he would like to tell
his story.
He is prepared to return to Georgia
only under official protection, he says.
