BOSTON, Marc 24-The name of
j. c. Joseph Flamand, French consul
general at Boston, today was withdrawn
as candidate for Democratic delegate
at large on the slate pledged to Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York.
Flamand's inclusion of the ticket of
Roosevelt delegates, filed by Mayor
James M. Curley, leader of the Roose-
welt forces. had repercussions at WASH
ington. The French embassy was said
to have considered his participation in
politics as Objectionable, although Mr.
Flamand has been a citizen of the
United States for many years.
His name, however, was allowed to
remain on the ticket in order to give
the Roosevelt group time to pick a
successor. The name of Col Percy
Guthrie, Canadian war hero, a natural
lied citizen and Republican, has been
mentioned in this connection.
Guthrie announced last week he had
been asked to consider changing his
party allegiance and said he would do

Prepare for Auction.

ton over the forced sale of the ranch

CAPONE CONTROL
OF OFFICIALS SEEN
Senator Borah Told of Gang
lands Attempt to Get
Chiefs Freedom.

An attempt by criminal organiza-
lions headed by Al Capone to secure
his freedom through control of public
officials was charged today by Frank
J. Loesch, president of the Chicago
Crime Commission, in letter to Sen
ator Borah
Loesch. member Of the wickersham
Law Enforcement Commission, re-
Gently was asked by Senator Borah for
further information concerning his
charges that members of Chicago's
gangland were active in opposition to
Senate confirmation Of Judge James H.
WilkerSon as a Circuit Court Judge.
Wilkerson was the jurist who sentenced
Capone for income tax evasion.
Labor Unions Controlled.
Loesch, in long letter reviewing at
tempts of Chicago gangland to control
labor unions and public Offices, said:
1T is my opinion, based upon these
facts and other indications, that the
combinations here now formed for get
ting men into public office turn very
largely on the effort of the criminal
organizations headed by AL Capone 10
control sufficient of the elected public
officials party lines not cutting much
figure, to get Capone freed from the
penitentiary sentences now hanging
over his head. or secure reduction of
the sentences"
LoeSch said those who know the
situation believe two-thirds of all labor
unions in Chicago are controlled by, or
pay tribute to. Al Capone's organiza-
tions.
He charged also that two personal
adherents of AL Capone" are members
of the Illinois State Senate.
Loesch and Robert Isham Randolph,
chairman of Chicagos secret six"
charged that 1.-THE undercover work of
criminal organizations and organized
criminals are making it appear that
labor is opposed to Judge Wilkerson's
confirmation" Borah asked them for
evidence to substantiate the charge.
Sees Victory for Criminals.
81 am not suggesting that there may
not be union men honestly opposing
Judge Wilkersons confirmation, Loesch
wrote, but I give it as my conviction
that no matter what ground may be
taken to defeat confirmation, if he fails
of confirmation, such fact will be
claimed by the criminal organizations
as victory for them and for Capone
and will have a prejudicial effect upon
every law-enforcing Official seeking to
curb the criminal career of Al Capone."
To support this charge that the
unions were dominated by racketeers.

Britain to Ignore
Alarm i'm India.
Commons Is Told
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 24.-Great
Britain intends to proceed with
out deviation with its program
for India, Sir Samuel Hoare told
the House of Commons today. and
will not be detected from 1t
by threats or force or sudden
alarm"
The secretary for India said it
was essential to settle midas
communal dispute and no consti-
tutional advance was possible
without a settlement, but the
government is not prepared to
accept the deadlock which still
exists between the Hindus and
the Moslems.
Sir Samuel devoted some time
to the matter of propaganda,
which he said had been one
sided for years.
80 far as the American press
is concerned" he said, there's
no use trying to get partisan
propaganda into it. What we're
trying to do is to give foreign
correspondents in India every OPP
portunity to learn the facts for
themselves. During the past few
months the facts of the situation
in India have been far better re-
ported in the American press
than they were some time ago"

GI.ETA CARLO. RAMON NO- VAItRO and LIONEL BARRY MORE IN "MATA HARI" AT FOX-POII PALACE

The dangerous but glamorous life of the notorious World war spy "Mata Hari," is portrayed In the picture of that name now play Ing Fox-Poli Palace with the sen sational combination of Grcta Gar bo and Ramon Novarro in the leading roles. The amazing cast of this ambitious Metro -Goldwyn- Mayer production also includes such outstanding screen personal tiles as Lionel Barrymore, Lewis Stone, C. Henry Gordon, Karen Morley and Alec E. Francis, to- gether with n large group of sup porting players.
 The unprecedented feat of plac- ing two of the screens foremost personalities in one picture war ranted an exceptional story. Re- port has 1t that following extcn- sive study of stage plays and nov els, the original story, "Mata Hari was selected as being most emi- nently suited to bring out the best dramatic talents of both Garbo and Novarro, who last scored indi- vidual hits In Susan Lenox" and "Son of India" respectively.
 The plot depicts the engrossing career of the fascinating Mata Hari, whose beauty and glamour as a dancer enables her to win her way into the confidence of Allied officers and thus to furnish the enemy forces with strategic war plans. When she finally falls in love with one of the many men whom she has betrayed, 1t is too late and she is forced to face fir ing squad.
 The picture was directed by George Fitzmaurlce who has such recent hits to his credit as "strangers May Kiss and "The Unh0ly Garden"
