Divine S Easy
Mode OF Life
Anglers Whites

NEW YORK.-Two aspects of the
attack which has been made upon
Father Major j. Divine, religious
leader of Sayville, Long Island, by
white residents of that community,
stand out in bold relief as induces
of the spirit of these white crusaders.
The first is this: Divine does not
work. Several hundred persons visit
him at his headquarters every day.
Many of them he feeds, others he
clothes, and still others he gives
money. The worried white citizens
of Sayville imagine that large sums
Of money are required to support
this work. Where does the money
come from? they wonder The conf
munity is upset because it has in its
midst this mystery preacher with the
mystery income.
The second significant cause for
their perturbation is: White and
black alike are aligned as followers
of Father Divine. Numerous meet
ings have been held in the little town
among the white residents, in their
efforts to legally expel the minister.
James C. Thomas, attorney, for
mer assistant United States attorney
in New York, has enlisted in behalf
of Father Divine. The Sayville
whites agreed to use as lever
agans Divine the statutes covering a
public nuisance, but Mr.. Thomas does
not believe that ground taken by
them is legally tenable and thereby

BOND METHODS
IN RAID CASES
UNDERF|RE
Prince Georges Attorney Says
Practice on Collateral Does
Not Conform to Law

A widespread practice Of
justices of the peace in Prince
Georges county was today
characterized as "not accord
ing to the Maryland law" by
States Attorney Alan Bowie.
Bowie referred to the setting Of
a cash collateral instead of a
realty bond for offenses other
than motor vehicle violations.
The States Attorneys attention
was directed to the practice fol-
lowing a series of raids by county
officers in which patrons Of road
houses and speakeasies we're
forced to post collateral on dis
orderly conduct charges.
Magistrates have been openly
accused of holding the patrons to
get the fee charged for writing a
warrant and because they knew
the persons accused in cash col
lateral cases would forfeit rather
UklhIl dRpCd4 III COOLb W 4ASAAO
their cases. A realty bond re-
ouires the defendant to appear
and either plead guilty or defend
himself.
Bowie said:
"The practice is Of such long
standing that it has become a
custom with almost all Of our
magistrates. While the law does
not specifically forbid setting of
cash collateral in other than
motor vehicle law violations. it
does say that an accused per-
son must put up a real estate
bond and the only listed excep-
ton concerns the motor vehicle
law.
I'VE allow the justices Of the
peace to set a cash collateral
because persons accused Of
minor violations can get their
freedom pending trial and be-
cause it prevents the operation
of a bonding racket"
