barrow Exposes Plan
To Give Illinois Judges
Still Greater Power

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, March 2S.-
When Clarence Darrow, prominent
lawyer, appeared before the senate
and house judiciary committees of
the state to fight against the pro-
posed change in criminal court pro-
cedures which would limit the power
of the jury and place more power
into the hands of the Judge, he found
himself the center of attack from
reactionary politicians and judges.
Darrow declared that the pro-
posed change j. the offspring of
powerful financial interests who
would like to have their own judges
try cases without the incumberance
of a jury.
Wood, a former assistant states
attorney, jumped to his feet and de-
clared, do you think Pm going to
sit here silently and have all the
courts attacked in this manner by
man who has been a defender of
criminals all his life? barrow may
be the leader of criminals who are
causing Chicago's crime wave"

Negro Tenant Farmers
Driven from Homes

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, March rs
(UP) Serious flood threats con-
fronted towns and cities along two
rivers in Alabama today as the Ten
nessee and Tombridge rivers con-
tinued to rise.
Families at the edge of the Ten
nessee river were forced to abandon
their homes at Guntersville.
Along the Tombigbee, thousands
of acres are under water and sew
eral hundred families from Demo
polls, south to Mobile Bay, have
been kept from their homes for the
last ten days as the stream crept
slowly to its crest.
Demopolis is in the heart of the
cotton section, most of the farmers
driven out by flood are Negro ten
ants, who will receive no relief, as
this is reserved for white planta.
ton owners and town jewellers. In
Demopolis itself Negro parents as
sociations have built up schools for
Negro children, the state not fur
nishing any adequate funds for edu-
cation.

Bail for McManus iii
the Rothstein Murder
Case; Trial Is Doubtful

George McManus, the only man
actually arrested and held in the
Rothstein murder case. was today
admitted TO $4,000 bail.
1t is very doubtful if he will ever
come to trial The police showed
extreme care not to arrest him at
the time Of the crime, and only took
him in when he came in and in
sisted on being arrested.
The Rothstein case developed into
"a scandal, in which it became evil
dent that Tammany police were
protecting Rothstein's million dol
lar drug smuggling turnover. and
that evidence had been destroyed
which implicated many "higher-ups"
in New York.
Recently private guard of Roth
stein was killed by machine gun
fire in Florida hotel, with no pros
pect of the murderer being arrested.
Police Commissioner Whalen was
installed, apparently to make a
great noise and distract pubic at
tention from the Rothstein case,
though ostensibly and formally to
solve the case.
