United States Attorney Leo A.
Rover was today authorized by

peaIs from the decision Of Justice
Peyton Gordon, Of the District
Supreme Court, sustaining the de-
nllirrer of Representative Edward
e. Dennison Of Illinois to an in
dictment charging him with q
possession Of liquor.
Dennison was charged with
possession of a trunk containing
liquor at his office in the House
Office Building in January, 1929.
Justice Gordon upheld the de
murrer but held that the indict-
ment was invalid because. it
failed to comply with the consti.
tutional requirements that the
accused be informed specifically
Of the charge so that he plead
acquittal of that charge as bar
to similar indictment.

NEW CASTLE co. EXPENSES
Grand Jury Committee and Gov
ernor Buck Figure S65,000 to Save

Governor Buck, held a confer
ence on Saturday at the Artisan
Savings Bank Building with the
Citizens Committee named by the
recent Grand Jury to consider
plans for reducing the expenses of
New Castle County government.
Among the suggestions made was
to reduce the Grand Jury from "a
to II members and the installing
of modern recording devices in the
office of the Recorder of Deeds.
1t was also suggested that type
writer's be used there in copying
deeds. 1t was estimated by those
at the conference, that these two
changes alone would mean an an
nual saving of at least S65, 900.
Governor Buck indicated he was
in sympathy with any proper
move to reduce the county govern
ment expenses. Members of the
county at the conference were j.
Rodgers Holcomb, Representative
elect Walter @. Tatnall, Jr., Ed
ward w. Cooch, Robert D. Kemp,
Thomas M. Monaghan and James
w. Robertson. The committee Wis
tied West Cester and Media in two
adjoining counties of Pennsylvania
to-day, for the purpose of studying
the systems of recording in use in
those counties. The committee
may visit other county seats in the
near future for the similar pur-
pose. The committee was pleased
to learn that the Governor is in
sympathy with the adoption of
some modern method of recording
and in the economic conduct of
county business and suggested, in
substance, by the Grand Jury.
