JURIST FACES
VICE GRILL

NEW YORK, March 13 GIN.
SD.-Magistrate H. Stanley Re
maud was to face a priest
Father Cullom of Suffern, N. Y.
at the Seabury inquiry today.
He was to hear father Cullom
repeat his earlier testimony as to
the good character of Mrs. Mary
Goble. Then the magistrate was
to be asked why he sentenced
the woman to Bedford refor1na-
tory on the uncorroborated testi-
mony of the vice squad patrol
man who arrested her.
Patrolman Andrew j. Nc
Laughlin was to be another of
today'S witnesses. He was to be
asked to answer the secret
charge Vivian Gordon made to
Seabury inquisitors that Nc
Laughlin framed her in 1923.
At the same time, Chile M.
Acuna, the stool pigeon, will re-
appear at the police board hear
ingS.
He probably will be put on the
stand to explain contradictions
of his frame-up charges against
the four vice squad officers on
trial here.

magnate, objected to his wife's
interest in skiing and asserted
she had the dancing bug" during
their sojourn at ST. Moritz, SWitz-

written in February, it was re-

The letter was received Wednes-
day by Harry L. Knapp, chairman
of the Pennsylvania State board
of motion picture censors, a few
hours prior to the tragedy.
Proud of Her Skating
In it Nixon-Nirdlinger said he
had tried repeatedly to get his
wife to give up skiing because it
is an extremely dangerous" sport
and go in for skating. But he
added "her mind is on other
things" He also wrote she had
become a dancing bug" and re-
vealed some of his own sport &C

Sessions of ProgressiUes
Marked by Harmony

The national round-table con-
ference of Progressives is at an
end, with complete harmony pre-
vailing.
There was not even the ghost of
a split or a quarrel during the
two days conclave at the Carlton
Hotel, although all tints and
shades of progressive and even
radical thought were represented.
There were some delegates who
wanted the parley to swing to the
extreme left" and who thought
it was dealing in mere "dish-water
remedies" for current economic
evils, but they were put in the
background and seemed quite will
ing to stay there.
La Toilette Is Pleased
Senator La Toilette (R0, of
Wisconsin, co-sponsor of the con-
ference, today expressed his graft
fication at the success OF the
parley and said it would be of
the greatest benefit to the Pro-
gressive movement, especially in
emphasizing its bipartisan char,
acter.
The PrOgressives intend to con-
tinue "boring from within in
stead of establishing third
party, all of the leaders declared.
With the control of the next
Congress in their hands, by rea-
son of holding the balance of
power, they are presented with
the greatest opportunity tn e y
have had since the Bull Moose
movement of 1912, they pointed
out.
Platform Is Incomplete
Their platform is not yet com
plete-the writing of the planks
relating to farm relief and public
utilities goes over until next fall.
Senator Borah will write the first,
proba bly, concentrating upon
debenture legislation, while Sen
ator Norris, chairman of the con-
ference, will outline a drastic pol
icy for circumventing Power
Trust" plans for obtaining a
monopoly.
The only issue which threatened
the harmony of the cOnclave was
that of the recognition of Russia.

New York Graft Probe
Asked in State Senate

ALBANY, March 13 GN.S0
Because of increasing demands
of church and civic organiza'

belief prevailed at the Capitol
today that John Knight. Repub.

make another attempt next week
to have the upper house pass
the Republican resolution provld,
ing for a legislative probe OF
New York city.
Passage of the resolution was
blocked in the Senate three weeks
ago, after it had been adopted
by the assembly, by opposition
of Senators Seabury C. Mastick
and Walter w. Westall, West.
chester county Republicans.
Senator Knight and other Re
publican leaders are reported tc
have brought considerable pres
sure to bear on the two West
chester Senators during the past
week in an effort to induce them
to withdraw their opposition and
support the probe resolution.
On Monday night the senate
may vote to unseat Senator Sam
uel I. Miller, Oneida Democrat
because of alleged fraud in the
primary election. If this is done
it will pave the way for the
passage of the New York probe
resolution in the event Senator
Mastick decides to vote with the
other Republicans.

There seems to be an cpl

fourth in her figure skating,
besides capturing a dance con-
test with Major Beaumont.

she would only concentrate and

When President Green, of the
American Federation Of Labor,
called the Soviet government an
"unrelenting enemy of the Ameri-
can labor movement" sparks
threatened to fly for a while.
There were cries of mo" and
even mild booing in certain
sections of the hall, but it
quickly subsidized.
May Assemble Again
Geographically, the conclave
was somewhat lop-sided. While
virtually all of its leaders hail
fron7 Western States, an over
whelming majority of the dele
gates came from the Atlantic
seaboard and adjoining common
wealths. Only 10 of the entire
roster of delegates came from
States west of Ohio.

PRO GRESS|VES
OPEN DRIVE

Striking out over the heads of
party leaders, the nonpartisan
Progressive group of Congress to-
day began it's campaign to win
the support of the American
people on a legislative program,
ranging from the direct election
of Presidents to the enforcement
of the bill of rights, tariff re.
forms. and relief Of farm and
unemployment distress.
The Progressive agenda, which
is to be submitted to the people
between now and December, COW
cred multitude of proposals un.
der the issues of farm relief, un.
employment relief, tariff revision
public utility regulation, and gov.
ernmental reform.
This was the outcome of the
twO-day session of the national
conference Of PrOgreSsiveS.
Studies Under Way
Three conference committees
submitted reports, carrying legiS,
lative recommendations on the
unemployment, tariff and gov
ernmental reform issues.
The progressives made it plain
their two-day conference was but
the opening shot in finish
fight to win popular support of
their principles in government.
The three reports submitted to
the conference were studded with
recommendations and com.
plants. An analysis of these re-
ports follows:
Funds Will Give Out
Unemployment com m ttee
(headed by Senator Bob La
Toilette (R.) of wisconsin,
predicted worse times ahead
and exhaustion of local relief
funds in a month; charged the
Hoover Administration and in
dustrial leaders with failing to
meet the unemployment crisis;
condemned Congress for ad-
jOurning without providing re-
lief; recommended a national
employment planning commits
sion, indOrsed the vetoed Wag-
ner Federal employment agency
bill and provided for further
study of employment cOndi-
tiOnS, with a view to demand
ing a special session of the
new Congress if conditions
justify.
Tariff Bill FIayed

CITY'S CRIME,
VICE LAID
TOMAYOR
Rev. Holmes Says Political
Revolt Looms as Result
of Racketeer Government

NEW YORK, March 13.-"I
believe that we are standing
today at the threshold of a
political revolution such as this
city has not seen for genera
tion."
This declaration by the Rev
John Haynes Holmes, pastor Of
the Community Church and chair
man of the city affairs commit.
tee, typified the sentiment OF
many leading clergymen today
as the movement for a general
investigation of the government
of New York city continued to
gain momentum.
Mr.. Holmes made the state
ment at one of the many open
meetings taking place through
out the city for the purpose of
discussing municipal reform.
Walker is Target
Mr.. Holmes admitted that the
city affairs committee was pre-
pairing Specific charges Of incOm-
petence, gross neglect, and indif.
ference to the welfare of our
city, against Mayor James j.
Walker, who is heading toward
California on a vacation.
The churches today appeared
to be in the vanguard in the hue
and cry against the Walker ad-
ministration and Tammany Hall.
The weight of the seven leading
Protestant denominations of the
city-Protestant Episcopal, Pres
byterian, Methodist Episcopal,
Baptist, Reformed and Congrega-
tional-has been placed behind
the demand for a city-wide inves-
tigation.
Combined Move On
Various civic organizations, too,
have gone on record enthusias-
tically as being in favor OF a
thorough inquiry into every
branch of the Walker regime.
Samuel Marcus, counsel Of the
Society for the Prevention OF
Crime, which made general
charges against Walker in a let
ter to Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt
and members of the State legisla"
ture, said the society planned to
take further action. He asserted
that a meeting of his organiza-
ton will be called within a few
days.
The Rev. MIR. Holmes, in a
speech before the Mems Club Of
CONGREGATION Emanuel rake d
Mayor Walker and Tammany
Hall over the Goals. At the same
time he had a good word or two
to say concerning former Gov.
CAP Smith who, during all the
recent furore over the Walker
administration, has diScreetly re-
mained in the background.
Tammany Flayed
Mr., Holmes flayed Tammany
as a center of corruption today
as in the days Of Boss" Tweed.
He said:
81 believe that in the days
of AL Smith there was some
thing of decency to warrant the
name of New Tammany,' but
the moment Governor Smith re-
tired from public life the old
Tammany came out Of its lair.
Now, as by a lightning flash,
we are made to see that the
idea of the new Tammany is
as false as it is fOul-a black
smoke-screen behiud which the
old foul beast may carry on his
depredatiOns."
