Judge Walter T. Mccarthy pre-
sided and gave the following in
structions to the jury:
"In view of the political at
mOsphere and a desire not to
make the grand jury a political
instrument / instruct you not
to bring in a report which may
reflect upon one candidate or

MUSIC LAPSE
DEPLORED

BALTIMORE, Oct. 19.-The
ease with which good music can
be brought into the home by the
radio and phonograph has tended
to reduce interest in musical de.
accomplishments by individuals,
in the opinion of Sidney Rom
berg, who is in Baltimore for the
premiere tonight of his operetta,
East Wind"
The composer declared that
every child should have three or
four years instruction in some
instrument and the fundamentals
of music for his own sake, as
we'll as to insure family coher-
ence. A musical family will be
a harmonious family in more
ways than one, says the COM
poser, who points out that turn
ing a radio dial is no accom-
plishment and deplores that "the
piano has disappeared from the
home" He adds:
81 don't care how badly the
children play, they and their
parents will have something in
common, and it will be enjoy
able. This will mean a return
to home life for children and
parents, and will do away with
a lot of the useless divorces
we now have"

Democrats Tied With G. 0. P.
Again With 6 Seats to Be
Filled Before December

Another death among members
Of the next Congress-the twelfth
since the elections last year-to-
day lent further complexity to
the situation involving organiza-
ton and control of the new
House.
Representative Ernest r. Ack-
erman (RO, New Jersey, died sud-
denly at Plainfield yesterday. He
had been reelected for a seventh
term and represented a normally
Republican district, though his
long tenure was partly attribut-
able to a lar.e personal fol-
lowing.
The Democrats will make a de-
termined contest for the seat for
the House lineup now is: Re-
publicanS, 214; Democrats, 214;
Farmer-LabOr, 1; vacancies, g.
total, '35.
4 G. o. p. Vacancies
There are four Republican and
two Democratic vacancies and
although G. o. p. strategistS pre-
dict there will be no changes in

they have good chances in the
Longworth district in Ohio and

globe-trotter, spending many of
his vacations abroad, had a
hobby of collecting rare postage
stamps and possessed a collec-
ton Of great value. He has been
a guest of King George.
Immensely Wealthy
Mr.. Ackerman's fortune was
immense and built largely upon
the manufacture of cement. His
hold upon his congressional dis
trict is accredited somewhat to
his constant attention to re-
quests from his constituents
which caused him to maintain
what is believed to have been
the largest office force of any
individual member of Congress.
He paid several of his office en-
ployes out of his own pocket.
Mr.. Ackerman was a member

mittee and the National Migra-
