WIRE TAPPING
APPEAL Up

An early decision on the legality
of wire tapping" to. secure evi.
dence in prohibition cases was fore
cast as the Supreme Court today
prepared to hear oral arguments on
the appeal of Roy Olmstead and Is
others, convicted in Seattle, Wash.
Having once rejected petition
for review and then granted it and
set the case ahead out of turn on
it's docket, the court was expected
to follow its rule of disposing Of
criminal cases without delay.
The convicted defendants. raised
the constitutional defense that a
mans home is safe from invasion,
asserting that under modern day
conditions the telephone has become
a part of the home.
Government attorneys, while dis.
claiming any intention to use wire
tapping" as a common method of
obtaining. evidence. asserted that the
constitutional bar should not save
the convicted men in this case.

MOTHER TRIES
To SAVE son

ANY hope that Mrs. Annie Marye,
of Bancroft, Va, may have that she
can save her erring son, Paul. 26,
from paying the penalty the Gov
eminent exacts for absconding with
postal funds, went glimmering to-
day with an announcement from the
postal inspectors office that the
case would take it's usual course.
Paul Marye until three years ago
was postmaster at Arlington, Va,
when he disappeared in February,
1928, with the postal funds. His
mother did not hear from him in
all this time until word was re-
ceived of his having surrendered TO
New York police Saturday. She
left at once for the metropolis.
Mrs. Marye, when her son took
the money that did not belong to
him. nortgaged her home and paid
every cent back to Uncle Sam, but
Paul was indicted just the same.
and must now face United States
Attorney Peyton Gordon. 1t rests
with Gordon whether the young
man will be tried on the charge.
Paul came to New York two
weeks ago with So in his pocket.
Out of work and homesick, he had
wandered for three years with the
specter of Government agents ever
before him. So he went into a
police station and said he wanted
to give himself up.
The fugitive will be returned here
as soon as the necessary papers are
delivered to the marshal in New
York.

ed during the world war, was pro-
posed in q bill introduced today by

very real when any administration

ration OF war-a citizen would find
himself silenced under penalty Of q
20.year prison term IL he expressed
sentiments not in accord with those
of the administration.

BORAH WILL VISIT
MEMPHIS TONIGHT
Senator Attacks Smith for
"Recent Conversion" to Pro-
teCtive Tariff Theory.
By the Associated Press.

BY me Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE. KY, October 20
Having delivered five speeches in four
Southern States in support of Herbert
Hoovers presidential candidacy, Sena-
ter William e. Borah of Idaho today
commenced a two-day respite from the
exertions of his campaigning.
Resting in Louisville, where he deliv-
cred an attack last night on Gov.
Smiths position on the tariff, before
his scheduled departure early in the
afternoon to Memphis, Tenn. the Idaho
Senator was invited by friends to take
an automobile ride and possibly in
dulge in his favorite recreation of
horseback riding.
The Senator will reach Memphis late
tonight. Tomorrow he plans to confer
with number of Tennessee Repub-
lican leaders before leaving for Dallas,
Tex, to deliver the sixth address of his
trip.
Intimstes Inconsistency.
In his speech at the Jefferson County
Armory last night Senator Borah took
the Democratic presidential nominee to
task for advocating the protective tariff
policy The Senator said that Gov.
Smith four years ago had denounced
the protective system as % FLOODED
hold-up of the American people in the
interest of the few" MI. Borah also
declared tina: Senator Robinson, the
governors running mate, had been a
consistent opponent of tariff protection
during his senatorial career
Both Democratic candidates and Gov
Smith in particular, were charged by
the Senator with having been Convert
o. iFrN 70
OF political expediency." Mr.. Borah
also disclaimed declarations made by
the Democratic candidate a week ago in
Louisville that the Republicans had
given the farmers the benefit of the
tariff protection and that President
Coolidge had starved the tariff COM
mission" in appropriations and prevent
cd 1t from operating efficiently.
Charges Tammany Instigatien.
The Republican presidential candidate
was described by the Senator as being
e whole-hearted advocate of tariff pro-
lection as a. means of maintaining
American standards of living and wages,
Mr. Borah made plea that the presi-
dency should not be intrusted to the
Democratic candidates, who had been
recent converts" to this system while
HooVerS attitude on the tariff was of
long standing.
Reiterating his charge that the pro-
hlbition stand of Gov. Smith was in
stigated by Tammany Hall and repudi-
ated the dry plank of the Democratic
Houston convention platform, Senator
Borah declared that Southern Demo-
cratic leaders were fighting for their
lives" because independent Democrats
are unwilling TO surrender to the die
tation of Tammany."

CR|T|C|zES SMITH
FOR INACCURACIES
CoIIaday Scores Careless
Use" of Data Regarding
D. c. Appropriations.

Gov. Smith was criticized for care

garding appropriations for support of
the National Capital by Edward F. Col
laday, the Republican national COM
mitteeman, in radio address from
Station WMAL yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Colladay called attention to
the highly erroneous statement" of the
Democratic candidate for President in
his speech at Sedalia, Mo-. Tuesday
night, in which he Is quoted as saying
LET us take the District of Column
bia, which is city run by the Federal
Government. In the first year of the
Harding administration it cost the peo-
pie of the country SCI ,921 900. In 1928
it jumped to $40056,0 900, almost 100 per
cent increase. and this in the face of
the Republican claim that cities and

may register and vote for the coming
election without having paid poll tax
for any year. This decision was based
upon the constitutional amendment re-
ducing the constitutional requirement of
time necessary for one to be continuous
ly in the State before acquiring resi-
dence from two years to one year. The
1924 laws of the State of Virginia, upon
which the registrar is evidently relying:
do not contain this constitutional
amendment. There is no doubt OF your
eligibility to vote on November II you
have complied with the law with re-
spect to registration. The fact that
your duties require your presence on
Government reservation would have no
more effect upon your residence in Vir-
ginia than as IL you were absent in
Government service in the District OF
Columbia, provided, of course, that you
have acquired residence in that State.
