SENATE OPENS
CAMP AICN FUND
/ QUIZ OF BISHOP
Committee Probes Finan-
CiaI Activities of South
ern Church Head.
By United Press

BY United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The
senate campaign funds investigat-
ing committee had before it today
a mass of evidence relating to the
personal and political financial
transactions OF Bishop James Can
non Jr.
The committee planned its effort
TO determine whether the southern
Methodist bishop diverted campaign
money to his personal accounts.
Five bank officials testified
Wednesday, 1t was the committees
first investigation under a resolution
making its powers retroactive to the
1923 presidential campaign. The
Cannon matter was suggested by
Representative George Holden Tink-
ham (Rep., Mass), who has charged
that Cannon violated the corrupt
practices act.
Trace Bank Account
The bearded Tinkhamy long an
enemy Of the bishop, sat across the
committee table from Cannon as
Chairman Gerald P. Nye endeavored
to trace an $4,000 account through
three banks.
1t was shown at senate lobby
committee hearing last year that
one Of the checks given Cannon by
z. G. Jameson of New York for
anti-Smith campaign work in she
south, was for that amount. The
total of Jameson's political contri-
buttons was $65,300.
S. L. Barrow, president of the
First National bank of Blackstone,
Va, testified Wednesday that on
Oct. %, 1928, New York draft for
$4,000 was deposited in Cannon's ac-
count. 1t was withdrawn Feb. 8,
1929.
Bankers Are Witnesses
P. w. Sheffield, cashier of the
Bank Of Crewe, at Crewe, Va, testi-
fled a check for $8,080.67 subse-
Quently was deposited to Cannon's
account as executor of the estate of
Mrs. Mary Moore. On Oct. 3, 1929,
the account of Cannon, executor,
was transferred to the account of
James Cannon Jr., according to
Sheffield. who said the account still
was in effect.
Cannon made no objection to the
present investigation. He broke up
a lobby committee hearing on June
3, 1880, by questioning the jurisdic-
ton of the committee and storminp
from the committee room.
Other witnesses were Perry c.
Seay, president Of the Ameri-
can Bank and Trust Company, Rich
mond; Wade H. Cooper, president of
the Commercial National bank and
the Continental Trust Company,
Washington, D. c., and j. A. Booker,
cashier of the Citizens Bank and
Trust Company of Blackstone.

in both parties as likely TO be the
dominant question q next years
presidential struggle.
One group in the Democratic
party believes the Wickersham re-
port and President Hoover's opposi-
ton to repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment or its revision as IA
vored by a majority Of the Wicker
sham commission, offers an oppor-
tunity for their party to declare ag-
gressciyely for change.
In a speech last week Jouett
Shouse, chairman Of the Democratic
national executive committee, said
states which will send majority OF
delegates to the next national con-
vention have registered Yerdicts
against prohibition.
Another element in the party, led
by southern drys, still is loyal to the
eighteenth amendment. Their view
was voiced in the house this week
by Representative John G. Box
Dem, TeX.).
Box referred to Chairman RaSkoh
as zone who cares not for either
party or the principles Of either, but
desires to lead it to perform in the
circus ring prepared by the ASsocia-
ton Opposed to Prohibition"
Whether any attempt will be
made to commit the national COM
mittee on prohibition at the COM
ing meeting is uncertain.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Prepa-
rations for an aggressive presiden-
tial campaign are going forward
within the Democratic party. They
are based upon a political situa-
ton which has given the party's
leaders optimism unequalled since
Woodrow Wilson was nominated in
1912.
This is the situation behind the
call of Chairman RaSkob for a
meeting of the Democratic national
committee to be held here March
5, the day after congress adjourns.
Party leaders will consult during
this meeting as to the outlook in
their respective states toward the
prohibition issue, which is regarded

XXIIIEN we find that some slight
wv adjustment makes a marvel
Gus, improvement in "a child we
wonder why we hadn't thought be-
fore to give the child this help.
A good example is the experience
of Mrs. VIM. Harrington, 227 Grace
ST., Indianapolis. She says: MY
little girl was doing fairly well, but |
noticed she didn't eat like she should
and was cross and hstless.
81 wanted to do something for her,
and my mother recommended Cali
fornia Fig Syrup, so / gave her some.
Betty improved so much | wonder
why | didn't do something for her
stomach and bowels before. 1t re-
lieved her sluggishness, gave her a
good appetite and plenty of energy"
To point up child's appetite, in
crease energy and strength, assist
digestion and assimilation, there's
nothing more effective than pure
vegetable California Fig Syrup. Doc
tors advise its use to open the bowels
during colds and children's diseases,
or whenever bad breath, coated
tongue, headaches, listlesSness, etc,
warn of constipation.
The genuine always bears the name
California. So look for that when
buying. At all drugs torres.

Bitterness Buried

General w. L. Freeman of Richmond, Vir- ginia. has asked J. E. Jewell of Fort Morgan, Colorado commander chief of the Grand Army of tn, Republic. if he would attend the United Confederate veterans eneampment at Montgomery. Alabama. as guest of honor. Commander Jewell says he will. on receipt of an invitation from the commander -in- chief of the Confederate veterans, on condition that the latter also attend the Grand Army reunion at Des Moines, Iowa.
 If there is any feeling of bitterness left. it must be wiped out" says Commander Jewell. So says the whole country. People have their opinion about the rights and wrongs of the Civil war but it does no good to open those old wounds. The country has too many problems of the future to solve. to spend energy nursing old sores. Let all sec tions unite to face the future and get things done. So say we in Connecticut.

A Case We'll Finished

The recent unpleasantncss in the superior court cases of Baron J. Torkomian, James Sullivan, and Amerigo Distefano has ended. The State has imposed heavy penalties upon the three accused after finding them guilty of crimes that even the most callous person hesi- tates to discuss openly A vicious incident IS thus closed. We think that the sooner Water bury forgets it the better off she will be. But we hope that the sentences given these three men will serve as a warning. There were many who were astounded at the severity of the sentences. But had all of us listened as attentively to this story of lust and carnality as did Judge Baldwin, we might have even thought the penalties lenient.
 The local newspapers were subject to much criticism throughout the entire trial for giving so much prominence to disgusting episode in court annals. Perhaps there was some ground for complaint but at least the newspapers have served one purpose. They have spread far and wide the notoriety of the three pris- eoners and they likewise have brought notice ! to men with just as criminal a nature that short shrift will be made of their cases should they be brought before the tribunal of justice. Had the local newspapers desired they could have made their stories of court testimony much more sensational. Anybody who was in attendance at the trial sessions will testify to that. Revolting as was the printed testi- mony. that which was deliberately withheld. but nevertheless delivered in open court, was twice as nauseating.
 There was no hesitation or apparent re- luctanee upon the part of Judge Baldwin in imposing sentence. In his eyes the three pris- oners whom he was judging were guilty of a crime for which the State of Connecticut exaets heavy penalties Vicious characters they must have been to perpetrate such an at- tack and in such manner It is unfortunate that with many more characters loose to prey on society they cannot all be brought to justice and be placed in the institutions where they belong

Smedley And Al

In the exchange of shots between Gen. eral Butler and Al Capone. Al wins the first round on points Butler, in public address, expressed the opinion that Capone should be deported to Italy. Capone retorted that But Ter ought to know native American is pro- teeted by the laws of his country Further more. he observed. the only offense he stood charged with was "vagrancy' and if feed ing 5000 people day in Chicago made him vagrant that was all right with him.
 The young gang-leader is said to have been born in New York. Deporting him would be more difficult problem than jailing him which is hard enough Such mistake is natural, though because Italian immigrants names appear so often in the criminal news. Sicilians especially seem to fit easily into the bootlegging and racketeer- ing opportunities offered by the gang life of our big cities. Thereby is aroused resent ment against Italians in general which is un- fair. but which will continue until the de- cent majority of our Italian born citizens take more positive stand against the black sheep of their own race.
