LGy Ailments to Air,
Friaht and Witches

NEW YORK, Oct. 16. - Air,
fright and witchcraft cause all
diseases, according to residents
of a certain village in Mexico,
where the Indians guard secret
gold mine, according to DR.. David
Glusker, Brooklyn, who has just
returned from there.
DR.. Glusker's wife, DR.. Anita
Brenner, anthropologist, is still
in the region adding to her col
lection of Aztec art. Glusker
says:
Body aches are blamed on
air circulating inside the vic
tim. Nervous diseases are at
tributed to fright and LESSONS
from injury are blamed on an
enemy who has hired a witch
doctor. One Of the stock RENE
dies is the meat and broth Of
poisonous snakes to combat
trOpicaI ulcers"

tened closely to Assistant Attor.
ney General Samuel G.. Clawson.
representing the United States
Government, argue before the
jury that they should return q
guilty verdict against him for
failing to pay his income taxes.
Capone sat facing the jurors.
ClawSon outlined in q calm.
precise manner the case against
Capone. He pointed out that the
defendant knew he was guilty.
that he knew he owed taxes to
Uncle Sam when in 1880 he gave
an income tax lawyer, Lawrence
P. Mattingly, power of attorney
to represent him to settle up."
Stunned All Offers
Clawson told the jurors that
his office made 1t plain to Ca.
pone's counsel, Mattingly, that
while they would listen to Ca.
pone's representations they could
not, and would not, agree that
the defendant would be immune
from criminal prosecution.
ClawSOn reminded the Jurors Of
the conference CapOne and Mat
tingly attended in the office Of C.
w. Herrick, Chicago Internal Rev
enue agent, when CapOne was try
ing to "straighten out" his income
tax difficulties.
Admitted the Debt
He insisted that during the con-
ference in Herrick's office CapOne
admitted he owed the Govern
ment income tax for the years
1926, 1927, 1928 and 1929.
Clawson Scoffed at the idea
that Capone lost his income on
the horse races, saying:
Zone Of his witnesses said
he lost $4,000 on the races
in 1929. He lost all the way
from $4,000 to $4,000 with
different gamblers. He bought
jewelry in vast amounts for
his friends. He bought expen-
Sive motor cars and he lived
on . lavsih scale.
Even If he did lose heavily
on the races and spend money
In other ways, he stu had
plenty left"
Believes Him Victim
Capone, on the other hand
was portrayed to the jury by
his counsel, Albert Fink, as q
victim Of a movement to punish
him so that public clamor'
could be appeased.
Capone listened with rapt at.
tention as Fink, a tall, florid.
faced man of about so, with
sparse hair and SpectacleS, rose

U. S. Accepts Bid
Of League to ParIey

GENEVA, Oct. 16 QN.S)-The
League of Nations secretariat late
this afternoon announced it had
received from the United States
acceptance of the league councils
invitation to participate in the
Manchusian discussions.

of Japan, the council adopted .
resolution invoking the Kellogg
Pact for the OutIawry Of war as
one of the grounds for American
participation.
The resolution was proposed by
Foreign Minister Aristide BRAND.
of France, co-author with former
United States Secretary Of State
Frank B. Kellogg, Of the antiwar
pact.
Prentiss Gilbert, United States
Consul General here, announced
that he will attend the full ses-
sion of the council at 6 o'clock
tonight. He will first thank the
League for extending the invita-
ton to Washington and then ex-
plain the viewpoint Of the United
States.

tered some slight opposition on
constitutional grounds. The rep
resentatives of Poland, Jugoslavla

complete accord" with the invi-
tation, entered reservations on
"juridical questions" which they

roughs to put up bond with the
Federal Court in Richmond.
The indictment Of the two NOV
ing figures in the campaign,
which upset all political prece-
dent and placed several Southern
States in the Republican presi-
Dental column, is highly techni-
cal. It Is believed to be the first
indictment brought under the
Federal Corrupt Practices Act.
According to the indictment,
the anti-Smith Democrats sought
to influence the election of
presidential and vice presidential
electors in two states.
DiScIaimS Jurisdiction
The Bishop has cOntended that
no action can Lie against him be-
cause the electors are State Of.
fiCerS and do not come within
the purview Of the Federal act.
The facts upon which the in
dictmentS are based have been
raked over the political Goals by
two Senatorial committees. The
lobby investigating committee
under Senator Caraway delved
into the affairs Of Bishop Can
non some time ago and the cam
paign expenditures investigating
committee under Senator Nye has
held several sensational hearings
on the matter.
Bishop Cannon has never told
his story before these commit
tees and Miss Burroughs, when
sUbpoenaed by the Nye commit
tee, fatty refused to testify, thus
placing herself in danger Of a con-
tempt citation when the Senate
reconveneS.
Cannon Blamed Religion
Bishop Cannon has maintained
to the last that his activities are
under fire because he opposed the
presidential aspirations of a RO-
man Catholic, Alfred E. Smith.
According to the indictments,
Miss Burroughs, as treasurer Of
the Bishops organization, had
four dates upon which, under the
law. she was required to report
all contributions and expendi.
lures. Jameson contributed vari.
Gus sums ranging from 5000 to
$40, 900 prior to each one Of these
dates.
Although she had opportunities
to report these contributions, she
never included them in the re.
ports which she did make to
the Clerk Of the House. Each
count in the indictment takes up
one OF the specified dates. for fill
ing and sets forth the specific con-
tributions that should have been
reported on each date.
Overt Acts Set Forth
The two conspiracy counts
which conclude the indictment deal
with virtually the same sets Of
facts and set forth eight overt
acts upon which the counts are
based.
These overt acts include quota
ton of the following telegram
sent by the bishop to Jameson:
Tried to talk long distance

 TAKU'S VICTIM
Maycock arty Returns Here After 7 Hours
 Futile Dragging

Taku Inlet again has demonstrat ed it never releases it's hold upon those who sink in it's waters. Ira ditionally, it is said, the body of no one lost there has ever been recovered.
 And this holds true of it's latest victim = Luther Duoy who was drowned there shortly after mid night Monday. Seven hours of dragging at the scene of the ac- cident yesterday, by Capt. Bert Maycock of the gasboat Pheasant, Harold Fjarlie and David Elem ming, Suby's companions on the fatal expedition, and H. E. Dick erson, were fruitless, and the party returned here at o'clock last night.
 The accident, reported as taking place off Point Bishop, occurred about halfway between Dupont and Point Bishop, near the old Indian village. Water there is said to be about 60 fathoms deep. Hope of recovering the body was aban- doned today.

PRO GOLFERS DROP
 CAREFREE WAYS IN
 CHASE FOR DOLLAR

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 24.- Golf professionals, once free and easy fellows who would rather play the game than make money, have mended their ways.
 They have become big business men.
 So well have they tended to bus mess that the Professional Golfers Association of America reports they are doing a land office business even during the current depression with the sale of golfing supplies Teaching with them has become almost a sideline.
 We expect great reports when the boys meet for their first real business meeting at Columbus prior to the Ryder Cup matches, June 23 and 24," said Albert Gates, admin istrator for the P. G. A. Most of them have become fine business men and have increased their bank rolls far beyond their expecta- tion."
 Administrator Gates said more than 800 pros in the United States this year were giving group lessons to children for nothing or at negligible tuition fee and were in- creasing the army of golfers at an rate.

$ y F r | .H The present holder of globe girdl- ing honors, the Graf Zeppelin, in 1929 covered l9.500 miles in 20 days and four hours. The flight to Der lin is 2,840 miles.
 Their next planned stop is Mos- COW and here the route divides into the airway which Russia has given them permission to follow and an- other that Post prefers to fly.
 The Russian route would carry the fliers into Siberia to Irkutsk and then to Khabaroysk, whence a nonstop flight to Nome, Alaska, would be attempted.
 : This is dangerous way" Post said, with much over water fly ing, adverse headwinds and possible fog. It would be necessary to car " a full load of fuel.
 We hope to get permission to go from Moscow to Novosibersk, then to Yakutsk, and on to Nome. This route lies mostly over land and west of a mountain range along which we would have tailwinds."
 The next planned stop is Edmon- ton, Canada, then long hop to Cleveland, and the last leg of the race back to New York City.
