VOTE ON RECALL
OF DETROIT MAYOR
Opponents Charge Reform
Candidate Federated
LaWIeSSnesS."
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, July 22.-Mayor Charles
Bowles, elected last Fall on reform
platform, is before the voters today
with an accusation that he tolerated
lawlessness" as one of the charges.
While Mayor Bowles was in Louis
vile last May II, attending the Ken
lucky Derby, his police commissioner,
Harold H. Emmons, ordered raids on
race betting establishments in which
nearly 800 arrests were made. The
mayor returned to Detroit and fired
Emmons, thereby precipitating the re-
call move which eliminated today IN
special election to decide whether
Mayor Bowles shall continue in office.
Friends of the mayor have declared
that Commissioner Emmons double
crossed" his chief in ordering the raids
while the mayor was attending horse
race, and Mayor Bowles stated that he
had intended to discharge Emmons for
failure to enforce gambling laws and
fired him in spite of rather than be-
cause of" the raids on derby day.
Ten Charges in Recall.
But the discharge of EmmonS was
made the central argument for recall
of Mayor Bowles. Within a few days
recall petitions were placed in circula-
ton They contained charges that the
mayor discharged Police Commissioner
Emmons for enforcing gambling laws
while Bowles was out of the city,"
tolerated violation of laws by law en-
forcing agencies, and eight other
counts.
More than 10000 signatures were
obtained for the recall petition, and
more than the necessary 10000 were
declared valid by the election commits
sion The Michigan Supreme Court
ruled that the election must be held.
The election campaign began two weeks
ago after the mayors supporters had
exhausted all means Of preventing the
vote.
The campaign. conducted almost en-
tirely by addresses over local radio
stations, has been the most intensive
and bitter ever fought here. Robert
Oakman, aged millionaire politician and
supporter of Mr. Bowles, in the cleo
ton last Fall, has been a leader in
Inc present aJUaCk on JIle mayor. JOIln
Gillespie, political enemy of Oakman
in elections of 10 and 20 years ago,
whose appointment as. commissioner
of public works is said to have turned
Oakman against the mayor, has been
generalissimo of the Bowles forces.
Recall sponsors repeatedly charged
that sinister influences" control the
mayor and urged the recall as the Only
method of restoring good government. >"
Charges Newspapers Lead.
Mayor BowleS declared that the re-
call move is a conspiracy led by the
Detroit News and Free Press" He said
today's vote would decide whether the
press or the people shall rule"
Election officials predicted that to-
days vote would be heavy, baSing their
prediction on the unusually large num-
Der of requests for absent voters bal
lots. A simple majority of the votes
cast is required to decide the issue.
If Mayor Bowles is recalled, another
election to choose his successor must
be held within As days, with the mayor
automatically a candidate. The mayor
would remain in Office until his sue
ceSsor is named.

LAWYER FINED $50
IN CONTEMPT CASE
Judge DenounceS Attorney
Who Wrote Employers
of Witnesses.
BY LESTER n. INSKEEP,
Stan Correspondent of The Star.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, July 22.-Carl A. Marshall,
Washington and Arlington County at.
torney, was fined $50 on contempt
charge in Circuit Court here this morn
ing by Judge Alexander T. Browning,
sitting as a special judge in the inn
parchment proceedings against Super
visor B. M Hedrick.
Marshalrs penalty resulted from three
letters which he wrote to the heads
of Government departments in which
are employed three of the witnesses
summoned in the case. The letters
called the attention of the Government
departments to what he termed the
unusually and unnecessarily political
activities of these witnesses and their
families"
Letters Written Prior to Trial Date.
These letters were called to the at
tention of the court by Burnett Miller,
special prosecutor, at the end of the
proceedings on July 8. The dates
showed that all of the letters had been
written on July S, three days prior to
the date scheduled for the opening of
the trial
When summoned before Judge
Browning this morning, Marshall adj
mitted that he had not been "di-
rected" to write the letters, as was
stated IN the epistles themselves, but
claimed that he had been making
personal study of the political activi-
ties of Government employees living in
the county and felt it his duty to make
reports to the Government departments.
He had no thought to influence the
testimony of these witnesses Marshall
told the court in an almost inaudible
voice while he was being questioned.
Prior to the assessment of the fine,
Judge Browning flayed Marshall for
what the court termed an attempt
either to influence or intimidate wit
nesses, telling Marshall that of all peo-
pie, Marshall, as lawyer, should know
better than to even attempt to lnf1u-
ence or to interfere with court proce-
dure.
Cites 3O-Day Sentence.
Judge Browning cited an instance of
an attempt to influence witnesses in
his court in Orange during the last
regular term there, stating that he had
sentenced the offender to 80 days in
jail He hesitated however, to take
such drastic measures in this case,
Judge Browning said, but felt that the
circumstances warranted a penalty of
no less than $50 fine.
Inc trial OF AeQrlcK was again cOn-i
tinued today when the court was in
formed that Wilson M. Farr, common
wealth's attorney of Fairfax County and
the chief of Hedrick'S defense lawyers,
was i'll and unable to appear The
prosecution offered no objection to the
continuance and the date for a re-
sumption of the case was set for Sep
TENDER 2. This arrangement was con-
sidered highly satisfactory to Common
wealth's Attorney William C. Cloth,
since he is now actively engaged in
an attempt to clear up the mystery sur
rounding the murder of Mary Baker.

LONDON, July 22.-Bombay dis
patches to London newspapers say that
Sir Tel Hanhadur Sapru and M. Jaya-
kar will visit Mahatma Gandhi today
in their peace-making effort, but are
rather hopeless of the success of their
mission.
Sapru is quoted as saying that while
the conversations with the Nationalist
leader IN jail at Poona will last for
two days, he is not confident of re-
suits. He said he believed that Gandhi
was not aware of late developments
in the civil resistance movement, and
that he would emphasize the harm
done by the campaign in an effort to
induce the leaders to compromise with
the government
After their talks with Gandhi the
peace emissaries will go to Allhabad
for interviews with bandit Motilal
Nehru and bandit Jawar-Halal Nehru,
Gandhi assistants, who also are in jail.
The Daily Mail reports that IL per-
sons were injured by police sticks at
Ahmadabad when a crowd stormed the
