GLASS MAKES BITTER
ATTACK ON CANNON.
Senator Charges Bishop Hides Be-
hind SANDER Formula in His
Anti-Smith Campaign.
Special Dispatch TO The star.

Special Dispatch 10 The star.
DANVILLE, Va, october 3.-A politi-
cal sensation was created In Virginia
today with the publication of bitter
attack on the platform methods Of
Bishop James Cannon of the Methodist
Church by Senator Carter Glass.
The Junior Senator from Virginia
charges the prelate with hiding be-
hind the formula of every slanderer''
and insists that he deliberately misled
his Danvile audience few nights ago
when suggesting that Gov. Alfred E.
Smith is an inordinate consumer Of
alcoholic beverages. -'
Senator Glass says that while Bishop
Cannon quoted the Nation In reference
to Smiths alleged drinking habit. he
craftily omitted to give the literal dis
claimer on this point. Oswald Garrison
Willard the witness to whom the
bishop appeals to disparage the Demo-
cratic candidate. is the rankeSt r1egropi-
list in America, the Senator said. The
same Willard. he added, was excluded
from reputable hotels in Baltimore and
Washington last Winter because he in
sisted that his negro comrades should
be permitted to dine with his white
associates.
Senator Glass severely arraigns
Bishop Cannon for his alleged attempt
to hold Tammany Hall responsible for
racial equality in Harlem and he winds
up the TRADE by saying LAS I have
said before the tragedy of this cam
paign will not be any political party
elected or defeated-it will be the
church depraved."

Nassauer declares he spent $4,000 in
the preparation of work preceding the
bond issue. but was not invited by Mr.
Wardman to attend the meeting of the
bankers held at the Carlton Hotel to
discuss the proposition. He was later

RUMORS
PUT UP TO WARDEN
Shook of Atlanta Explains
Reports Relating to Alleged
'Undercover Agent"

John Shook, warden of the Atlanta
Washington as an outgrowth of stories
in which the record of prisoner, sup
posed to have been kept confidential,
was made public. said late yesterday
that he was returning to Atlanta as
warden, but that he had certain in
structions which would be carried out,
following an hours conference with As
sistant Attorney General Mabel Walker
Willebrandt.
Il am returning to Atlanta as war;
den," Shook said, II have received GER
tain instructions as to things that are
to be done on my return. They will
be carried out"
Declines to Answer Queries.
When questioned as to what went
on at the conference Shook referred
his questioners to Mrs. Willebrandt
who declined to discuss the conference,
saying that it was nothing unusual for
warden to come to Washington to dis
cuss prison affairs with his superior
officers.
The stories about Shook, which were
widely published, were to the effect
that after the prisoner was discovered
transferred to Leavenworth and later
to Honolulu. During the time that the
stories were being published the record
of the prisoner was made public. This
record was the confidential description,
addresses of the prisoner and his rela-
tives, giving his civilian mail address
end other such details. Such details
are never permitted to be published by
the department on the grounds that
keeping them in confidence is debt
that the Government owes to tho
prisoners.
Other Issues Discussed.
It was generally understood that this
subject was discussed at the confer
ence as we'll as the wardens recent
refusal to permit certain department
agents to make an investigation in the
prison without written orders from his
superiors Before departing for At
ANITA, Warden Shook let it be known
that he expected to fully cooperate
with the department. Warden Shook
expected to reach Atlanta tonight.
Shook reached here Monday, but was
prevented from seeing the Attorney Gen.
eral, and yesterday when he called Mr.
Sargent referred him to Mrs. WILLIE
brandt. He YVES examined by Mrs Will
lebrandt shortly after noon and the
questions were recorded by a stem
ographer. Shocks conference with
Assistant Attorney General Willebrandt
was short, as she had other engage
ments. but he was told to return to her
Office later in the afternoon.

Territory, as the Banking Board is composed of the Governor, tho Sc cretary and the Treasurer. The Boards of Medical Examiners, Phar- macy, Dental and Accountancy are all Territorial institutions but all Governor
 And thus it goes almost down to the last dollars of Territorial money. It is practically all spent by the Federalists, and yet some wonder why the effort is made to jar loose from the Territorial treasury the small batch of Federal officials who receive their appointment from Washington, D. C., and usually leave the Territory when their terms Of office expire.
 the majority members of the Ter ritorial Legislature can be induced, every two years, to perpetuate a sys- tccn that destroys the measure of hone rule that Congress conferred upon the Territory. The vote of 12 to 13O, on March 5, indicates how the members of Congress feel on this subject, and is further indicative of what is expected from future Territorial Legislatures. Tn the meantime this cry for "county gov CT rnment" upon the part of the Democratic party in Alaska must seem very silly to even the Demo- crats in Congress-
 The Excuse is Efficiency and
 Economy"
 In his talk on the floor of the House Chairman Curry repeatedly admitted that the Territory, thru it's Legislature, has passed acts impos- ing certain duties on the Governor and the Secretary that are in con- f1ict with the Federal statues. But he further says, Congress did not impose this system on Alaska. The Territory of Alaska itself, as a mat ter of economy and efficiency in government, in my opinion fin the face of adverse laws, did enact legislation that placed these duties on these executive officers"
 But of course this matter of economy and efficiency in govern ment," is largely bunkum. That may have been the original idea when the Territory was without funds, but the practice has since been fostered and encouraged by S.L.
The Alaska fisherman., 1928-04-15

strained from longer paying out Territorial funds, contrary to law. Then Congress was appealed to, with the hope of legalizing series of illegalities. But the result has blasted the hopes of the Federalists, that includes most of the Bureau crats who are stationed at Juneau. Don't Want The People to Control
 Of course Governor Parks, Secre- tary Theile, Treasurer Smith, Com missioner of Education Henderson, Supervising Mining Engineer Stew ard, Highway Engineer Sommers and the other beneficiaries under the present system know this talk Of Federal domination is only Zap ple-sauce," and really not ''economy and efficiency in government" IL would cost the Territory no more to conduct the office of the Secre tary, while the money turned over to the Governors office would pay the expense of the Board of Control, which would include three Terri torial officers elected by the people. But there is the rub. They don't want the people, to elect these supervising officers, the only new one being a Comptroller, or what ever he might be called, to take the place of the Secretary, who is now illegally performing Terri tOrial duties.
 If one were to get the candid opinion of the Federalists or BU reaucrats they would tell him thai their objection to allowing the peO- pie to select a Board of Control is simply because friends of Delegate Dan Sutherland might be elected to office. The Democratic press and such corporation attorneys as the Hellenthals, Bert Faulkner, Bob Robertson, Tony Dimond, Tom Donohce, Frank Foster, Lester Gore, and few others are content under the present regime, as they represent to their employers that they can control the Tederalists.
 Such controlled Republicans as Senators Bartley Howard and Tom Jensen just naturally fall for the Federalist and Troy propaganda. They simply look for an excuse tc defend their Legislative actions. Senator Howard says that not one tenth of the Alaska population want the Comptroller Bill and that it would mean the building up of a

nominee for Delegate to Congress at the April "A primaries. And yet ke won't carry one of the four divi- sions in the Territory, and will be defeated in all by a two or three to one vote, in favor of Dan Suth- erland.
 Comptroller Bill Is The Remedy
 The Comptroller bill is the one outstanding big piece of legislation that the Legislature to meet next March can enact. There will be no more cost to the Territory and there will be more efficient and respon- siDle administration under men selected by the voters of Alaska The recent action of Congress makes necessary future legal action by the Territory, and that means electiva officers responsible to the people Of the Territory
 Those of us who seek to keep down the appropriations have no desire to impose greater taxes on the cannery interests. On the con- trdry, we wish to treat with them direct by cutting out the political attorneys, and to view their taxa. tion as a strictly business propOsi- tion But on the other hand we expect them to get out and keep out of the politics of Alaska. And this they show a disposition to do, and will do, if they turn deaf ear to their attorneys, who simply build up local prestige for themselves by trading on their presumed influence with the Big Interests.
 It now looks as tho a strong, progressive lot of Legislators would be nominated in the Republican pri- maries on April "A, who will be elected on Nov. 9th next. They can be relied upon to enact the neces- sary legislation that will restore to the people of Alaska the rights that have been so ruthlessly given away by previous Legislatures. The Demo- crats talk in their platforms of more "home rule" but they are care ful to make no demand for such home rule as the Territory is en- titled to and can get thru Legis- lative action. They want Congress to give us more rights, when near ly every right that has been i'm parted by Congress has been con- temptuously trampled under foot. Just more "applesauce" upon the part of Democrats.
