JOHN c. FA|RCLOTH
PLACED ON TRIAL
Washington Newspaper Man
Charged With Aiding Mis-
application of Funds.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


BALTIMORE, April 23.-John G.
Faircloth, As years old. Washington
newspaper man and former president
of the Mayfower Publishing Co. OF
Washington, jointly indicted with Clar-
ence F. Schatz, 80 years old, former
cashier Of the First National Bank Of
Mount Rainier, pleaded not guilty
when arraigned in United States Court
and went on trial before Judge Cole
man and a Jury this morning.
Schatz is charged with the niSap-
plication of about $4,000 Of the bank
funds and Faircloth is charged with
aiding and abetting in the misappli-
cation of the funds. At the request
of William l.. Marbury, who Is repre-
senting Faircloth, the cases were sep
arated and Faircloth went on trial
first.
The case is being prosecuted by Simon
E, Soberloff, United States district at
torney, and his assistant, o. Norman
Forest. Mr. Forest, in his opening
statement, said that under the Federal
banking laws Faircloth was equally as
guilty as Schatz. Faircloth, he said,
was president of the Mayhower Pub
publication of Who's Who in the
South and East, while Schatz was
treasurer of the company. Between
1928 and 1929 Forest said checks were
drawn by Faircloth on the Mount Rain
Ter Bank to the extent of $4,000 and
that other "kiting" of checks brought
the total up TO around $50, 900 and that
the checks were cashed through the
Second National Bank and the North
Capital Savings Bank of Washington.
On October 90 Forest said the Fed
eral bank examiner called for a state
ment of the fiscal report, and that
Schatz sent for Faircloth and got him
to make out new checks for about
$4,000, which then showed that the
checks were still out.
Attorney Marbury in his opening ad-
dress said Schatz was the brains" Of
the company, and that Faircloth knew
nothing of the "kiting" of the checks,
being employed solely in newspaper
capacity as editor of the publication.
Schatz will be placed on trial as soon
as the case against Faircloth is COM
pleted.

Disobedience

Ahmadabad, India. March l2.-R
On the first anniversary Of the start
Of his historic march to the sea in
the beginning Of the disobedience
campaign, Mahatma Gandhi left
Ahmadabad Thursday to retrace his
route and make salt once more in
defiance of British law.
His venture will mark q test Of the
truce which he arranged last week
with Viceroy Lord Irwin, one of the
terms Of which was that peasants in
the salt districts be allowed to make
salt for their own 3 and for sale
within their own towns, though this
Is q violation Of the letter Of the law.
It was not regarded As likely that
the British would attempt to rearrest
Gandhi for . violation Of the salt
monopoly act, but all India watched
his move. The Nationalists regard
salt making as q sacred right.
Setting out from here, Gandhi went
to Borsad to address the villagers who
who accompanied him on the first
march to the sea. He will visit q
number Of towns in the area, speak
ing to natives who have refused to
pay British taxes, and Saturday will
60 to Dandi, where he first made salt
q year ago.
After q speaking tour in the Baroda
and Surat districts Gandhi will e
turn to Bombay March l6, spend two
days there. and then go to New Delhi
where he will attempt to unite mos
lens and hindus in preparation for
the forthcoming second round-table
conference.
Soon thereafter Gandhi will 60 to
