Ordinarily the number is between

SOUND WARNING
ON FUND DRIVE
Campaign Can Not Fail, Is
Word to Workers.

The three-quarters post in the
campaign for a fund of $1,O43,686
to carry on charitable work here
during the next year was reached
today by 5000 workers in the an
nual Community Fund drive.
They met in the Claypool at
luncheon for the first report
meeting since Friday, when total
of $685., O51.83 was reported as sub
scribed. A sum of $136,47524 was
added toward the goal in reports
today.
Extended last week because the
two week-endS were included in the
original dates for the campaign, the
solicitation for the fund will end
Wednesday night at a meeting in
the Claypool.
Campaign officials have reiterated
their warning that the drive must
not fall short, as the fund goal rep
resents the minimum required for
the thirty eight agencies of the
fund to carry on next year.

DEMURRER IS FILED BY
BISHOP CANNON; TRIAL
WILL BE LONG DELAYED

tons of the corrupt practices act
are unconstitutional.
Arguments on the case were set
for Nov. 20. The defense asked
a full day for argument.
The demurrer alleged that the
corrupt practices act was uncon-
stitutional, in that it violated Sec
ton of Article 2, of the Consti-
tuition.
Filing Of the demurrer was made
when Cannon'S arraignment under
the grand jury indictment was
called today.
The demurrer said the law "at-
tempts to regulate contributions and
expenditures made to influence the
election of presidential and vice
presidential electors in the several
states
The demurrer further alleged
that the act violated Articles 5. g. 10
and II of the Constitution. 1t as
serted that presidential electors are
state officers and not governabIe
by an act Of congress.
Cannon appeared in court flanked
by five counsel and carrying his
crUtch.
Filing of the demurrer is expected
to have the effect of delaying the
bishops trial considerably, even
though the demurrer is not sus-
tanned. If the demurrer is sus-
tanned, the case, in the usual order,
will be thrown out of court.
If it is denied after argument. the
bishop then can appeal to the dis
trict appellate court and to the
United States supreme court. and
decisions must be rendered. against
him by them before his case can be
called for trial.

reported today preparing to move
into the Taonan area, after clash
ing with many small bands of
Chinese bandits outside the Japan

Manchuria.
Jiro Minami, minister of war, and
Baron Shidehara, foreign minister,
denied there was any danger of a
Japanese clash with the forces of
Soviet Russia.
There is nothing in the Man
churian situation ito justify alarm
ist rumors," they declared.
