JUDGE DEF|ES ORDER
OF COUNTY COUNCIL
GeCkIer Says He Will Not
Obey Rate Cut Edict.

Faced with an order from county
councilmen today cutting the rate
for care of county orphans to so
cents a day, Juvenile Judge John
F. Geckler declared he would not
obey the order.
The council refused Geckler a
$4,000 additional appropriation,
granting only $4,000 and stipulat-
ing it be paid out at the rate of
so cents day for each county
ward.
Informed his long fight for a rs
cents rate had met this rebuff from
councilmen, Geckler declared: THE
councils order isn't worth the pa
per it is written on"
Geckler restated his position that,
after Jan. l he would favor slicing
the rate to IS cents
This will give institutions in
which wards are placed time to pre-
pare for the reduction. But, until
Jan. it will be impossible for them
to accept a cut" Geckler explained.

Garry Out Program
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Legis-
lation to repeal the eighteenth
amendment will be started on its
way through congress Monday de-
spite opposition of drys.
MY present intention is to 60
right ahead along the schedule out
lined" Speaker John N. Garner said
today.
That schedule contemplated the
introduction, brief discussion and
a roll call vote before adjournment
Monday night on Gamers repeal
amendment. A two-thirds vote is
required.
Meanwhile, former Attorney-G Gen
eral A. Mitchell Palmer, who has
been cooperating with Garner at
his invitation, is completing the sup
Elemental bill to set up convention
machinery in the various states for
ratification of the amendment.
Palmer has prepared a brief on
legal aspects of his convention plan,
which he is forwarding today to
every senator and congressman
with a letter urging speedy action
in order to prevent a period of
wholesale notification pending final
action by the states.
Urge Minimum of Delay
The Garner Palmer plan contem-
plates that following passage of the
repeal amendment by the house,
the supplemental measure will be
introduced Immediately. and PASSED
with the minimum of delay.
This measure, proceeding on the
theory that amending the Consti-
tuition wholly is federal province,
proposes to submit the repeal reso-
luton to conventions; establishes
the procedure in the nomination
and election of delegates to the
conventions, fixes the date for the
conventions and the time when the
federal government shall be in
formed of the result.
Early Conventions Provided
Although the amendment fixes
seven years as a limit within which
states may ratify, the same limit
as the original prohibition amend
ment, the supplemental bill will
specify that conventions be held
within three months after congress
has acted.
The measure will be so written
that die-hard prohibitionist Gov
errors will be unable to block the
will of congress in the assembling
of state conventions.
The measure will in effect author
ize a great national election on the
same day, whereby voters viii have
the opportunity Of voting direct on
the question Of abolishing national
prohibition.

Under the new arrangement, a

merly assigned TO the emergency
on each shift, will be placed in
squad cars for cruising duty.

BARE DETAILS
OF LOTTERY
Mann'S Alleged Relations
With Promoter of Eagles
Fund Told at Trial.
BY SANDOR S. KLEIN
United Press staff Corresnondent

FEDERAL COURT ROOM, NEW
YORK, Nov. 3O-Details of Con-
rad Mann's business relationship
with Bernard c. Mcclure, alleged
lottery promoter, were related in
federal court today by Eugene j.
Balsiger, auditor of the Fraternal
Order of Eagles.
Balsiger, bald-headed, round
faced man, was the first witness in
the governments case against
Mann, head of the Eagles; Frank
E. Herring, editor of the Eagles mag
azine; Mcclure and his aid, Ray
mond Walsh, all charged with ship
ment of lottery tickets in violation
of interstate commerce, and con-
spiracy.
Louis Mead Treadwell, youthful
prosecutor. first brought out that
Mann, as head of the Eagles bazaar
department, was empowered to make
contracts for the operation of all
Embarrassing schemes by the aeries,
or local lodges.
Contract With Herring
Treadwell read to the jury the
contract Mann had with the Eagles
to head the bazar department. One
section specified that Mann was to
receive as his personal share, 40 per
cent of the net profits from the var
ious fund drawing affairs conducted
by the aeries.
Treadwell also established that
Mann had a contract with Herring,
in which the former agreed ''in con-
Sideration of services and assistance
in the conduct and management"
of the bazaar department to pay Her
ing one-third of Mann's share of the
net profits.
Treadwell introduced a supple
mentary contract between Mann
and the Eagles, specifying that To-
cal aerieS could enter into agree
ments with outside parties, provided
Mann received so per cent of the
net profits.
Balsiger testified that Mann told
him he had met Mcclure in Chicago
early in December, 1880.
Told of Moose Deal
HE said he had met MCGUIRE
in Chicago and that Mcclure told
him he had just closed a deal with
the Loyal Order of Moose and tried
to interest him in the venture,
Balsiger said. Mcclure detailed
to him a legal way of selling the
tickets"
Balsiger said Mcclure had con-
tract for Mann's signature, but that
it was not signed until the follow
ing morning after Clyde Taylor,
Kansas City lawyer, was called into
the conference.
The prosecutor then placed in evil
dence the contract.
The agreement authorized Nc
CURE to conduct and operate enter
priseS for raising funds for the
Eagles, to use Mann's name in the
establishment of credit and speci-
ned that Mann was TO furnish a
full list of the Eagles membership
to MCGUIRE.
Say Profits Divided
Treadwell Tuesday characterized
the list as sucker list"
Mcclure agreed to supply in
writing full details of any enter
prise he planned to conduct for
the Eagles, according to the con-
tract. The contract called for an
establishment of a joint bank ac-
count for MCGUIRE and Mann.
Mann and Mcclure, the contract
specified, were to divide equally net
profits from the enterprises. They
were equally liable for any losses
that might be incurred.

The Daily Herald said the Bank
Of England, acting on urgent in
structions from the treasury, had
arranged for shipment of 100000, 900
to New York for payment, if neces-
sary. Financial quarters said in
surance for gold shipments had been
arranged.
The British note was expected to
outline in the strongest terms the
government view that postpone
ment is essential for the mainte-
nance of world confidence, and
place responsibility for further eco
nomic chaos at Washingtons door.
