CHARGES OF PERJURY
LAID TO DEETS PICKETT
Tinkham Introduces Two-Year-Old
Incident in Accusing Research
Temperance Secretary.
Rx the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A nearly two-year-old incident has
been revived by Representative Tink-
ham, Republican, of Massachusetts, to
back a charge of perjury flung against
Deets Pickett, research secretary of the
Methodist Board of Temperance, Pro-
hibition and Public Morals.
At the close of yesterdays House ses-
sion, with but handful of members on
the floor, the black-bearded Bostonian
rose in his seat to utter the accusation
and demand that the Attorney General
prosecute Pickett.
On May 27, 1880, Tinkhsm said
Pickett told the Senate Lobby Commit
tee the board had sent no packages
from its Office that year except by mail
or parcel post. Instead, the Repre-
sentative said, he has just obtained
photostatic copies Of freight bill show
ing that on April 9 Of that year IL
packages were removed from the Meth
odist Board Office here and were de-
livered the next day in Baltimore.
He said the only conclusion possible
was that this constituted secreting "in-
eliminating documents"

FLOOD CONTROL PAY
MEASURE is PLANNED
Bill Demanding Payment Of Pre-.
vailing Wage to Workers Will
Be Given Congress.

Introduction of bill that would
prevent contractors in the Mississippi
food area from paying less than pre-
vailing wages in flood control work
was promised yesterday by Chairman
Connery of the House Labor Committee.
The bill, Connery said, would make
contractors on all Government works,
including levees, rivers and harbors
projects and flood control, pay their
employees the prevailing wage in the
locality in which the work is being
done. ............ sos.
Testimony from President Green
of the American Federation of Labor
and other witnesses has shown that
conditions in Mississippi are very bad"
Connery said "Somthing should be
done by law to remedy the situation.
l intend to introduce bill which I
feel the committee will support, to
change things"
The Massachusetts Democrat made
this statement after hearing Mai. Gen.
Lytle Brown, chief of Army engineers,
discuss his investigation OF the Missis-
sippi contractors camps.
Brown said he had made one inquiry
after reading newspaper accounts Of
"peonage and human slavery" that led
him to notify contractors they would
have to stop things that didn't suit

FRYING CRITICS.
HOUSE COMEDY,
RATHER A FLOP
Patents Group Greeted by
Empty Chairs, but Cast
Fervor Is Unabated.
By United Press

/ By United Press
WASHINGTON. March 10.-The
Sirovich drama, Frying the Critics, :"
played to a thousand empty chairs
| today, but with no appreciate
effect upon the enthusiasm Of the
players.
/ Caustic criticism of the critics
poured from the lips of witnesses
and members of the house patents
committee. They all agreed the
situation was deplorable, but they
could not agree on what should be
done about it.
There were only two spectators
in the huge caucus room, where
Chairman Sirovich renewed his
effort to have congress save the
legitimate drama. His contention
is that critics have much to do with
keeping the crowds away from the
theaters.
Harry Hershfield, New York car
toonist, testified that he though the
trouble was that critics are too
'arty," losing their human qualities
in the effort to be technical. He
denounced electric sign critics"
who write for the purpose of get
ting the producers to quote their
words and names in advertisements.
Favors Prize Fighters
Hatcher Hughes, professor of
drama at Columbia university, said
he thought prize fighters would be
an improvement upon some present
critics.
The point came up when Chair
man Sirovich of the committee rose
in protest against what he called
'lambastings, insults and abuses"
which he said the critics had
heaped upon him.
Il challenge them to come here
and meet me face to face" said
Sirovich. Il challenge them to meet
me in debate in New York so we
can get the facts"
Professor Hughes said the critics
had ridiculed his Pulitzer prize
play, Hell Bent for Heaven"
They said it might be hell bent
for some place, but not for Broad
way" he said.
Cites Play Review
Peggy Fears, producer of a play
called Child of Manhattan" ap-
peared in protest against John An
derson, critic of the New York Jour-
nal. She said Anderson's review of
her show last week contained little
but an attack on Sirovich.
st had never heard of Mr.. Siro-
vich BEFORE" she said. II thought
for a minute he must be in our
play"
Chairman Sirovich agreed with
her that such tactics came under
the heading Of destructive criticism.
Saul E. Rogers, consul for the Fox
organization, agreed to help the
committee in framing a copyrights
law. He urged that managers quit
featuring critics in their advertise
ments.
THE critic has become superior
even to the manager himself" said
Rogers.

GENERAL FUND WINS

Indiana's general fund, bolstered
sometime ago by a so-called loan"
from the state highway funds {.

chain store tax money, under a
ruling by Attorney General James
M. Ogden.
Under the chain store tax law,
more money than yet has been col

state aid school funds.
But the general fund is in dis
tress and Ogden has ruled the state
aid fund need not be paid off now.
Floyd E, Williamson, state audi
tor. says he plans to keep the
$570,816.92 collected thus far in the
general fund and will make no

HIGHEST court
WILL RULE ON
REAPPORTIONING
Gerrymandering viii Get
Blow or Boost in Case
From Minnesota.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, March TO-
Gerrymandering, the ancient po-
litical device Of manipulating con-
gressional districts to political ad-
vantage, is due to receive a blow
or a boost from the supreme court
in the near future.
The court will pass on the ques-
ton indirectly when it decides a
test case from Minnesota involving
reapportionment under the 1890
census.
The Minnesota court has ruled
that states may be redistricted by
the state assembly over the Gov
ernor's veto.
In states where there is a divi-
sion in the political affiliations Of
the Governor and the legislature
the effect would be, it is agreed
TO place redistricting solely within
the legislators hands.
Term Old in Politics
"Gerrymandering" as a term is
one of the oldest in American
politics. It was coined 100 years
ago and takes its name from Ell
bridge Gerry. signer of the
Declaration of independence.
While Gerry was Governor OF
Massachusetts, in 1912, the state was
districted. One district was spread
over several counties so that it took
on the general contour of a clawing
dragon.
A map hung in the office of the
Centinal attracted the attention
of the visiting Gilbert Stuart,
famous painter of Washington por-
traits. Noting the resemblance,
Stuart drew two wings, talons and
beak on the map.
That will do for a salamander,"
he remarked.
Better call it Gerrymander, 4"
growled Editor Benjamin Russell, a
political enemy of Gerry's.
Novel Question Presented
While the Minnesota case comes
more than a century later it pre-
sents a question novel to the
supreme court. 1t must decide
whether the state Legislature" re-
ferred to in the constitution refers
only to the members of the assembly,
or includes the Governor with his
veto power.
In New York a similar question
has arisen and has been decided by
that states highest court to mean
that the Governor must approve
any reapportionment measure.
In the western state, where
primary elections are soon coming
on, an adverse decision by the
supreme court will mean that a new
law will have to be passed or, per-
haps, the nine members allowed
will have to be elected at large.
