CUNNINGHAM CASE
TO Be FOUGHT OVER
Government Wins Rehearing
in Move to Bring Him Be-
fore D. c. Court.
~ the Associated Press.

ny the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, May 27.-The bat
Gle over the unanswered question of
the source of the $4,000 that Sheriff
Thomas ". Cunningham gave to the
William S. Ware senatorial primary
campaign fund in 1925 is TO BE- fought
all over again.
The United States Circuit Court Of
Appeals yesterday granted the Gov
eminent a re-hearing in the latter's ef-
fort to have Cunningham appear in the
District Of Columbia and answer an
indictment charging him with con-
tempt of the Senate in not answering
a question put to him by the Senate
investigating committee OF which James
a Reed of Missouri was chairman.
After Cunningham's indictment, he
resisted removal TO Washington, but
was ordered removed by the Federal
District Court of Eastern Pennsylvania.
An appeal was taken to the Circuit
Court of Appeals and Cunningham won
on q two-to-one opinion.
In the meantime another phase OF
the case was decided against Cunning
ham BY the Supreme Court Of the
United States. This was warrant OF
arrest by the Senate to force Cunning
ham to appear before it and tell the
source of the $4,000. He also had re-
sisted going to Washington in this
case. and the Federal District Court
decided against him only to be reversed
BY the appellate court. This Scase was
carried to the Supreme Court and Cum
ningham was ordered to appear in
Washington, but the matter was held
up pending further action in the APP
pellate court here.
Thus Cunningham, a leader of the
Ware organization in Philadelphia, has
been arrested twice, twice ordered to
washington by the Federal District
Court here, which twice was reversed
by the appellate court.
Since all this started Ware has been
rejected by the Senate, Joseph r. Grun-
DIV appointed in his place, who in turn
has been refused election to the seat
by the voters of the State.
The hearing in the case probably
will be held late next week, and 1t even
tually may reach the Supreme Court.

Rock, Dissolving
In Water, Figures
In $4,000 Suit
Plaintiff Contends Stone
Came From Site of St.
Francis Dam.
By the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, May 27.-An expert
ment with a rock and a glass of water
proved a sensation yesterday in trial of
a suit for $175,o00 damages brought by
Ray E. Rising against the city of Los
Angeles for the deaths of his wife and
three children in the st. Francis Dam
disaster in 1928.
The city contends that the breaking
Of the dam, which released waters of the
st. Francis impounding reservoir and
drowned more than 400 persons, was an
"act Of God" and did not result from
official negligence.
William Mulholland, former engineer
of the water and power department who
retired last year, was called as defense
witness
Rising's attorney asked Mulholland:
Would the conglomerate rock, upon
which the left wing of the dam was
built, dissolve in water7"
Not in million years." the aged en-
gineer answered.
Displaying q fragment of rock, which
had been identified as one picked up
from the hill in which the left wing of
the dam projected, the attorney placed
1t in glass of water.
After few moments, the rock began
to dissolve.
Mulholland declared on further ex-
animation that he doubted If the rock
came from the dam site.
