Piano Tuners Coming
Choosing of Capital for Next Convention City
Prompts Some Passing But Pertinent Questions.
Why Is Piano Tuner, NoH Thai Radio Is Here?

Since it has been announced by the
Greater National Capital COMMITTEES
that the next national convention OF
the piano tuners is c-ming to Washing
ton, it is up to the public to have some
facts in hand In regard TO tuning and
tuners. Otherwise 500 delegates may
come to washington next year and find
an unsympathetic people, people not
piano-tuner minded, 50 TO speak.
The announcement that piano tuners
are coming brought forth good many

Many Itinerant Tuners.
Well. there are a good many piano

estimate would place the number ct
5000 or more. 1t Is ratner dificult to

In Washington there are IS piano tun-

seems to know
It is true that piano business has de-
clined. as has everything else. The
popularity of the radio and the ten

at all.

NYE BACK At DESK
FOR CANNON PROBE
Head of Senate Committee
Prepares to Forestall
Injunction.
BY the Associated Pres,

By the Associated Press
Chairman Nye of the Senate Cam
paign Funds Investigating Committee
was back at his desk today prepared to
resume the prolonged inquiry into the
disposition of certain 1928 anti-Smith
campaign funds intrusted to Bishop
James Cannon, jr.. of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South.
Court proceedings filed by the bishop
just before his recent departure for
Europe, seeking to block the commit
tees inquiry by claiming it illegal, first
commanded the North Dakotans at
tention.
The committee plans to resist the
attempted court injunction. Individual
members have expressed the view that
the court is without authority to fore
stall Senate investigation.
Delay Is Feared.
However. the members are concerned
lest the court act on delay conclusion OF
the inquiry until September when the
statute of limitation becomes effective.
Because Of this Senator Nye last
Spring refused request of Bishop Can
non to defer hearings until the middle
Of September Nye then told the
churchman the committee would reas-
semble in August to pursue its inquiry.
Nevertheless, Bishop Cannon sailed
for Europe late in July. AS he did his
lawyer filed proceedings in the District
OF Columbia Supreme Court to restrain
the committee
The committee Is acting under au-
thority of a resolution introduced by
Senator Glass, Democrat, Virginia. and
unanimously adopted by the Senate or
dering investigation OF any complaints
Of irregularities in the handling of
campaign funds in 1928.
Bishop Not Called Yet.
Representative Tinkham, Republican,
Massachusetts,, filed complaint with
the group, contending that Bishop Can
non, as chairman of the Anti-Smith
Committee in Virginia in the 1928 cam
paign, failed to account in a report ia
the House clerk under the corrupt prac-
tices act for the disposition of all of
the $63,500 given to him by z. C.
Jameson, New York capitalist.
Ada L. Burroughs, secretary to Bishop
Cannon's 1928 organization, previously
defled the committees authority and
refused to answer its questions Bishop
Cannon has not been called.
