C,lrged Crump's political machine"
controls distribution of Government
flour for the needy and is swapping 1t
for votes.
In a letter to Senator Borah, Crump
said it Is Uncomfortable" that he would
permit himself to be used as a tool of
irresponsible political scavengers by
giving publicity. without the slightes.
investigation. to false, scurrilous and
utterly absurd charges of political
manipulation by the American Red
Cross and myself in connection with
the distribution of Farm Board surplus
flour to the needy of this community"
The letters charged the flour do
mated by the Federal Farm Board for
distribution by the Red Cross, is given
only to those supporting the Crump
machine
The charge that I. or any Official
connected with the governments OF
Memphis or Shelby County have in the
remoteSt way sought to dictate or in
fluence the distribution of food sup
plies to any man or woman as a re-
ward for political support" was de-
nounced by Crump as manufactured
"out of the whole cloth. and was so
known to be by the persons who ad
dressed such complaints to you"
Fact Held Ascertainable.
Continuing. the Crump letter said:
"It would have been a simple matter
for you to have aScertained that fact
by communicating with the charitable
agencies through which such diStribu-
ton is being made. Instead of making
any efforts to inform yourself as to
the facts, howsver. you have seen fit to
lend the prestige of your high Office to
a cheap political canard born of mi
guilty and conceived in deperavity, de-
signed not only to hold me and the
responsible officials of this city and
county up to public scorn but to drag
the garments of the American Red
Cross in the mire of petty partisan
politics.
Apology Is Suggested.
surely you can do no less than to
apologize to the citizens of this COM
munity and to make such explanation
as YOU may be able to for the sorry part
you have played in giving the badge of
respectability to political tactics un-
worthy of the lowest breed Of human
ity."
The Representative charged the let
terS sent to Senator Borah were in
spired by supporters of Judge M. R.
Patterson of Memphis. a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Cover
nor against Hill McAlliSter. who is sup
ported by Representative Crump.
For your information the letter
continued. my congressional district
will go for Hill McAllister for Cover
nor by tremendous majority"

PEARL STREETa HOUSE SHOWS BALANCE
SHOTS
 CAUSE TROUBLE
Residents of Upper Cooke and East Main Streets
 File Complaint
POLICE CALLED OUT

Ofiiciai observance of Independ- ence Day is 6 matter of three weeks yet, but there have been plenty of inquiries within the past twenty-four hours as to the cause of "the shooting"
 In two different sections of the city early this morning residents were aroused by pistol shots. Police headquarters was asked to investi- gate and to obtain an explanation. The incident on East Main street near Maple street about 2:40 o'clock this morning was caused by Paul Daunais, 45, mistaking his step brother, Gus Daunais, for a burglar and firing at him. Both men were brought to the police sta- ton and detained for trial in police court. Paul Daunais was charged with breach of the peace for arous- ing the neighborhood, but was dis charged in court when an explana- ton was made of the circum- stances under which the shots were fired.
 The residents of upper Cooke street, near Moran street were also aroused early today by shots. A gray sedan which was observed travelling up Hill street was made the object of a. search by the police, but without success. Resi- dents declared that an occupant Of the machine did the firing. Mem bers of the motor patrol were sent to that section, but failed to ind any trace of the car described. The homes of Prosecuting Attor- neys Emil Hummcl and Mitchell c. Meyers are in that sector. The former was aroused by the shots and was one of many to venture peek out of the windows to learn the cause of all the shooting.
