DEAD '12YEARS,
MAN RETURNS
Times Staff Photo

BALTIMORE, oct. 2.-Bent,
gray and tired, a 75-year.old man
is back today with his wife here
after an unexplained absence Of
IL years, and the woman who had
the vanished man declared legally
dead" three years ago, so she
could use his modest estate, is
satisfied to have her husband back,
and asks no questions.
In 1919, Harrison Smith left his
home at 1914 Fait Avenue, saying
he was going. West on a business
trip. For nine years his wife and
their six grown daughters heard
nothing from him. Then in 1928,
Mrs. Mary Anne Smith, the wife,
believing him dead, had the courts
declare him so. Just a month
ago, she got a letter from him
saying he was coming home.
Now the aging couple are con-
tent. He explains merely that he
has been working in mines Of New
Mexico and Arizona, and is happy
to be resting at the old fireside.
They are not worrying about
what they will do to undo the
courts decision. They are spend.
ing most Of their time quietly in
their modest home, reminiscing of
those days before 1919.

Oct. 8 Set As Date Tribunal
Will Scan Cannon's Moves
Under Corrupt Practice Act

Joseph s. Frelinghuysen, former
Senator from october 8, called
to investigate charges that Bishop
James Cannon, jr., violated the
Corrupt Practices Act in the 1928
presidential campaign, it was
learned today at the District At
torney's office.
It Is not believed that a sub
pOena will be issued for the
former Iawmaker, who contributed
$4,000 to the fund raised by
Bishop Cannon to oppose the
Smith candidacy in the South, as
. he has indicated willingness to
testify fully concerning the con-
tributiOn.
SIemp Urged Gift
The Frelinghuysen gift is an
other chapter in the story Dis
tfict Attornel Lee A. Rover will
present to the Grand Jury for
possible indictment on the spe-
cific charge Bishop Cannon failed
to report expenditures of election
funds to the clerk of the House
OF Representatives.
The Nye committee recently
learned Frelinghuysen gave $1O,.
600 to the bishop at the request
of G. BaScOm SIemp, Republican
National Committeeman from
Virginia and q leader Of the anti
Smith forces in that state,
The ex-senator then advised
the committee his gift was double
that amount.
Did Not Make Report
Had he known the Senate
group wished to question him on
the matter he would have defer
red his trip abroad and given full
details, he said.
He added at that time.
81 will be glad to appear be-
fore the committee at anytime
they desire to question me-"
Frelinghuysen did not report
the gift himself, he said, as it
was his understanding the money
was to have been spent in Vir.
ginia and that it was not neceS-
sary to report a fund intended
for use within State borders.

For Important Role
MAdU0nce CUnaDGi0n

Unconvinced that he has lost

the investigation into his 1928
campaign activities, Bishop James
Cannon, jr., is getting ready to
play an important role in the
preliminaries Of the 1892 cam

pOrted by those close to him as
asserting that he will again rally
the drys of the South to the
Hoover standard If the Demo
Gratis nominate Governor ROose-
welt, Governor Ritchie or any
other avOwed opponent Of pro.
hibitiOn.
Assailing his enemies and those
who differ with him on the pro-
hibition question, Bishop Cannon,
referring to the agitation for
legalization Of beer, is quoted as
saying:
ri know what is going on
around here. 1 am surprised
that President Hoover toIerates
these people in his Cabinet, who,
the papers say, are bringing
pressure to bear on him to come
out for beer.
'He should fire the next one
who seeks to persuade him to
come out for beer. Mr.. Hoover
and his Cabinet are committed

OF Interest To Farmers

Although the obligatory rules and
regulations governing the grading of
potatoes and marking of containers do
not apply between June LIST and Octo-
Der LIST, each year, the Weights and
Measures Act of 1927 states that
standard sack of potatoes in Washing
ton shall contain 100 pounds net
weight and need have no statement OF
the weight of its contents. Each sack
of potatoes containing more or less
than the standard 100 pounds shall be
marked with its true net weight.
Early potato harvest is starting in
this district and few so pound sacks
of potatoes have been observed In the
markets that were not marked as to
net contents
Growers and shippers of potatoes are
requested to properly fill the standard
potato sack so that it contains 100
pounds net and to mark all other
sacks with the true net weight Of the
contents.
