LAW DEMANDS JUDGE ANSWER
 MURDER CONSPIRACY CHARGE

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-The law that Emanuel Eller has served as judge of the superior court, will demand this fall that he answer the charge Of conspiracy to commit murder and to violate election laws.
 Judge Eller and his father, Nor ris Eller. city collector, and best known as boss of the bloody twentieth" ward, facing the same accusations, are docketed for trial Seetenber r His trial will be the first of judge still on the bench. Eller refused to resign.
 The indictment of the Ellers is one of the outgrowths of a grand jury investigation of election fraud and violence that three groups of jurors conducted. Law enforce ment agencies joined with the state in the attempt to expose what was called sinister ballot con- trol in several city wards A spec ial prosecutor was named because of the states attorneys connection with the political faction to which the Ellers belong.
 Emanuel and Morris Eller were the particular targets of the cru saders. Kidnapings and intimida- tions in the twentieth ward where Morris ruled as Republican pre- cinct committeeman were detailed by grand jury witnesses and wit nesses before a coroner's jury in vestigating the murder of Eller's primary opponent last April
 Octavius Granady, a negro. who had contested with Filler for the committeeman's post, was shot and killed on election day by motor car gunmen who crowded Grana- dy's car to the curb. The trag- edy occurred outside the twentieth ward, but the state contended Eller henchmen were responsible for it.
 Judge Eller, witnesses said, was active in support of his father on election day, and held court in a street to free election workers accused of intimidating voters and stuffing ballot boxes.
 The Chicago crime commission petitioned the circuit and superior courts to have Judge Eller and two other judges removed from criminal cases because they played politics in disposing of them. The

courts denied the petition.
 The Ellers contend their politi- cal strength lies in the perfection of their organization; their beney- olence to, and interest in. those who live in the twentieth ward, a eongested area whose residents largely are unskilled laborers and small merchants.
 They are under fire because they belong 10 the Mayor Thompson States Attorney Grove faction as opposed to a group headed by Sen- ator Charles s. Deenen.

greeting began: We Christians extend our sincere and well wish es to the Jews"
 NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Develop- ment of plans looking to the for nation of the Jewish agency in the Zionist movement has been Fin some ways the great event of the year Rabbi Stephen S. Wise says in Jewish New Year state ment.
 Tt is not for me to seek to forecast what the outcome of the effort will be-" Dr. Wise states.
 "lf the agency is to bring about the too-long deferred union of forces for the upbuilding of Pales- tine, vertically an Union Sacre, without the sacrifice of the basic principles of Zicnism, then it will, in truth, be an agency for much good. But if the mandate of the Berlin conference of July be mini mixed or ignored so that. from the viewpoint of the Galuth, Palestine become another realm of Jewish charity instead of the Jewish land of self-reyerence and self-sustain- ment, then woe betide the agency!
 Above all, they who have stood aside mp to this time on any ground-and it is not for us to question in the hour of concilia- tion-may now be expected hand somely to come forward and take their full part in the fulfillment of the supreme task of Israel"
 Mentioning the Ford retrac- tion" and the Rumanian situation, Dr. Wise says two things are needed. neither of which is, as yet, achieved-th unity of Jewish forces with a view to safeguarding the life and property of Jews wherever these may be endanger- lsf or Eiolateasas.aad, again, the bringing to bear of public opinion upon the League of Nations and other international instrumentali- ties which are to insure the full fillment of the minorities rights treaties of Versailles
 He warns the race against con- fusion by science or modernism of any fashion" and concludes:
 Not through forswearing the God of Sinai and His eternal man. date. nor through desertion of the people of Moses and Isaiah. Mai muni and Spinoza, Mendelsohn and Herzy will the Jew gain aught save the awful penalties of self contempt and lf-obliteration The Jew will live and pilgrim forward to the noblest ends of life only in the measure in which he holds high the standard-For God and Israel! Israel for All: God Over All"
