REVERSE U. S,
RUM CONVICTION
Chef Fowler Case Returned
to BaItzeI | by Circuit
Appeals Court.

Conviction of Chef Fowler, Key
stone avenue and Fifty-ninth street,
alleged aviator -bootlegger, in fed
eral court several months ago on
liquor charges today was reversed
by the United States circuit court
of appeals.
The reversal was based on the
contention Of John A. Royse, Fow-
lers attorney. that the search war
rant used in the raid, in which
liquor stock valued at $4,000 was
seized, was FAULTY, and that the
case was taken into federal court
on an agreement between a police
squad and federal prohibition Off
Gals.
Judge Samuel Alschuler of the
appeals court, IN his opinion, up
held the defense contention thai
the raid as made under the al
legged tacit agreement. was an in
fringement of the Fourth amend
ment of the Constitution.
The higher court ordered the case
returned to Federal Judge Robert
G. Baltzell with instructions that >
motion to suppress evidence, pre-
viouSly denied, should be granted.
Fowler had been fined $500 and
sentenced to six months in Jail by
Baltzell.
Several days ago Fowler was ar
rested by police squad who charged
they seized one gallon of whisky in
his car. This case has not yet been
heard in municipal court.
Royse today said the ruling sets
a precedent in that it bars from fed
eral court cases where police know
ingly raid without a search warrant,
or with faulty warrant, with the
intention of taking the case into
federal court.

Speaker John N. Garner
said he hoped the present
session would "see proper to
grant very broad powers for
consolidation and elimination
OF government bureaus"
Chairman Joseph Byrns of the
mouse appropriations committee
later revealed that he had been in
conference with senate leaders. and
tnaC the move would be made with
the united support of the Demo-
cratic organization.
ByrnS indicated that he ex-
pected the first definite move to
come from the senate.
Blanket Authority Planned
He said he thought an attemnt
would be made there to give the
incoming President blanket author
lily Tor reorganization" THROUGH an
amendment to one of the later
regular appropriation bills.
AS a second move for greater
economy, Speaker Garner and
Byrns will attempt to obtain ap-
proval of a resolution repeating all
so-called permanent and indefinite
appropriations" except interest paw
mentS on the public debts.
AT present, Garner explained.
this group of appropriations is not
under the control Of congress. but
carried from year to year without
specific approval.
Democratic leaders expect. upon
examination Of this type of expen-
dlture, to find economies which NAV
mount to hundreds of millions of
dollars.
Rainey Favors Move
1t was understood that the reor-
ganization amendment would apply
only to the incoming administra-
ton, although it will be passed be-
fore President Hoover leaves Office.
At present, the chief executive has
some limited powers toward consoI-
ldation, but all are subject to the
specific approval of congress.
A reorganization plan submitted
by Mr.. Hoover is at present PEND
ing, but is expected to be defeated
when brought before the house.
House Majority Leader Henry T.
Rainey candidate for the next
speakerShip, advocated the plan as
one method of budget balancing. It
Immediately received the approval
Of Chairman Byrns.
Rainey said such a congressional
grant might eliminate the neces-
sity for any type of new tax bill,
other than a beer tax and a con-
tlnuation Of present excuses.
Byrns said he had come to the
conclusion that congress is unable
to effect a real economical reorgani-
cation Of the government while the
chief executive may accomplish SUBJ
stantial savings.
Rainey made a bitter attack on
lobbies which, he said, we're largely
responsible for wrecking economy
plans.
The government is controlled by
organized minorities," he declared.

TRIO ATTEMPTS
TO HALT LOAN
FROM R. F. c,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81. U.p)-
Three Southern California property
owners have filed suit in district
supreme court to prevent the Re
construction Finance Corporation
from purchasing s40,000,000 worth
OF bonds of the Metropolitan Water
District of Southern California.
The bonds, issued for the con-
struction Of the Colorado river
aqueduct, are being purchased in
the face of a formal notification
from 1858 Long Beach, Calf, tax
payers that they will not be respon-
sible for repaying them, the suit
charged.
Long Beach may also withdraw
from the water district if the r.
F. G. buys the bonds, the court was
told.
The property owners who filed
suit are Ralph F. Burnham, Pas
adena, and Ross Grant and Albert
l. Smith of Los Angeles. They
claimed the water district project
will not be f-liquidating and that
liquidation OF its bonds will fall
on the taxpayers. The proposed
aqueduct will also raise the cost
of water and decrease its demand,
it is charged.

HOME OF CHICAGO
JUDGE DAMAGED
BY GANG BOMB

CHICAGO, Sept. 81. W.P)-Gang-
ster foes, vengeful of the militant
campaign for their determination
waged by Judge John P. McGoorty
were hunted today as the men who
bombed the jurist's home, binding
youth and injuring young
mother.
Gang cases in which McGoorty,
former chief justice of the crimi-
nal court, was trial judge, were
studied for a clue to the attackers
whose bomb seriously injured Lee
Wilbur Koeppen, 16, and Mrs. Ada
Miller Meyer, 16-year-old mother.
A hunt for James (Fur) Sam
mons, notorious gangster recently
released from Joliet penitentiary
was undertaken. Sammons went to
prison under a ruling by McGoorty
in 1881.
The condition of the two victims
of the bomb who were among a
group of young people passing the
McGoorty home at the time of the
explosion, was serious.
The explosion tore out both of
Koeppen's eyes, nearly blew off one
foot and burned him severely. Mrs
Moyar also may lose her sight
She was badly burned on the face,
arms and legs.

The Loyal Order of Moose always
needed funds for its charitable
work and. witnesses said today. its
supreme dictator, United States
Senator James j. Davis, advocated
good, clean, wholesome entertain
ment" to raise them.
This was brought out in federal
court where Davis is on trial
charged with violation of federal
statutes pertaining to lotteries.
The government sought to show
that Davis wholesome entertain
ment' was lottery.
Malcolm r. Giles, Moose sup
RENE secretary and controller OF
its 100 lodges, recalled the Moose
1929 convention. The minutes were
read to show DAVIS made a speech
in which he said that Brother
Theodore Miller will show the lod-
ges how to raise money through
good, clean, wholesome entertain
ment."
Miller, head of the Moose propa-
cation department, was one of the
six others indicted with Davis.
They are to be tried later.
Did Senator Davis ever talk to
you about his objection to gamb-
ling as means of fund-raising?"
Charles H. Tutle, chief of defense
counsel asked Giles.
Always" he replied, adding that
Davis was particularly opposed to
the "punch-board" method.
Giles was asked to describe the
new methods mentioned in Davic'
convention speech.
Miller, he said, centralized the
agencies for raising funds.
I'm 1929 did MIR. Miller occupy
a position within the order" he
was asked.
"Yes. He was secretary of the
general assembly"
The propagation department was
the name under which Miller oper-
ated for the 1880 charity ball but
not before, Giles said.
WAS Senator Davis attitude re-
garding gambling for fund-raising
