BEGAN LIFE AS TAILOR.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, April IS CF9-
Out Of young tailOr's criticism Of
police methods Of the 80s grew one of
Americas greatest police figures.
The figure was that of William J.
Burns, who died last night at Sarasota,
Fla, and whose career had its inccp-
ton in the unimaginative envirOns Of a
cutters bench
A half century ago Burns followed
the business of a merchant tailor in
his fathers shop here. Part of his
work was to cut and measure the uni
forms of Columbus policemen. Through
contact with his police customers he
quickly adopted the habit Of interest
ing himself in their work.
THE detectives" Burns said many
years later in explaining his entrance
into detective work seemed to be
rather deficient in vision. Naturally,
acquired the habit of making sug-
gestions. Before l realized it, l was
consulting detective Of the Columbus
Police Department. without any pay
but all the while getting something of
local reputation.
Used Common Sense.

amateur performances, that if detec-

their work, results probably would fol-

John E. Murphy. then chief of police,
gave young Burns his big chance when
he was % years old. 1t was murder
case-of no particular importance now
but it had offered tough shedding for
the regulars.
Burns, the neophyte, jumped into
the hunt and one week later came in
with his man and a signed confession.
The tailor's cutter had emerged from
his cocoon of coats and vests and was
ready to try his wings on big game.

Veterans Leader
Announces Plans
For Convention

WASHINGTON, June % U.P)-
The bonus army is going to hold its
own national convention in an
effort to work out permanent
organization and put an end to
pickering over matters of policy.
Internal dissension seems the
greatest threat to the army's solid
arity as it settles down for a long
wait. No further action on the
$2,400,000, 600 bonus is possible until
congress meets next December.
Meantime leaders are divided on
such questions as whether veterans
should try to form third party.
Leaders said the convention
would be held some time next
week. They plan to call together
about 500 delegates, representing
bonus contingents from every sec
ton. They also nave provided men,
bership cards for a permanent Or
ganization. Ten Thousand cards
were printed. This apparently min
imizes the leaders claim that 10000
veterans still are encamped in the

Representative Swing (Rep) Cali

his withdrawal from the race for
the Republican senatorial nomina-

He declared his withdrawal was
entirely due to his opposition to a

Following the attitude of Senator
Borah tRep) Idaho, he denounced
the "wet-dry straddle plank" of the
Republican platform.
1T was my intention" Swing
said, ito make a fight for pro-
gressiye principles, demanding that
the federal government take ag-
gressive and direct action to attack
the grave economic problems which
threaten our economic and political
institutions. However, since that
time the propaganda against pro-
hibition has risen to distract great
ly the attention of the people with
its contention that repeal is the
remedy for our present ills.
MY convictions are to the con-
trary. l am a Republican, but I
cannot approve the wet-dry strad-

form. Neither can I approve its

JURY ACCUSES
YOUNG MENJOU
In DEATH CRASH

LOS ANGELES, June %. UP)-
The reckless driving and negligence
of Harold L. Menjou, 20, adopted
son OF the screen star, Adolph
Menjou, caused the death of his
sweetheart, 17-year-old Marjorie
Gauthier, a coroner's jury decided
today.
The verdict was returned after
the jury was told that Meniou
was intoxicated and was driving
between rs and 80 miles an hour
when his automobile crashed into a
culvert the night OF June 18.
The girl, a companion on the ride
was killed instantly while MenJou
merely was stunned.
The jury made no recommends
ton as to what should be done
with young Menjou but he already
is held on charges Of murder and
drunk driving.
Chief witnesses at the inquest,
held in Hawthorne, were Or. Ter
renee Atterbury and Officer r. Is.
Jones.
DR.. Atterbury said he examined
Menjoli shortly after the accident
and found him TO be intoxicated.
Jones said he attempted 10 over
take the speeding MenJou automo-
bile but was unable 10 do so until
after the crash.

the war, were expected to be placed
before the convention today.

for his withdrawal that it was "evi-
dent" that without strong newspa-
per support in the larger cities "a
sizeable campaign fund is necessary
no matter what the candidates
merits, ability or record for ac-

ROLPH WAVERINC
ON DECISION FOR
SPECIAL SESSION

SACRAMENTO June %. U.H -
Faced by stubborn opposition by
foes of water development, Cover
nor Rolph today appeared to be
wavering on his proposal to call
a special session of the state legis-
lature on water conservation.
Previously the governor has defi-
nitely said he would call such a
session, even setting the date as
"some time between August IA
and "a"
Late yesterday, however, he re-
ceived a number of telephone calls,
one particularly from an influential
group in Los Angeles, declaring
that such a session might bring
an army of unemployed to Sacra-
mento, similar to the one now en-
camped at the national capital.
The governor then declared he
would be guided on the special ses-
sion question by the Judgment CT
his committee of 500 which he ex-
poets to call together early IN
July to discuss the water program.
IF this committee should de-
eide against the special session, l
won't call it," said Rolph. "Of
course, I'd have to get the support
of these outstanding leaders, as
well as members of the legislature,
before calling the session."
No subject other than water
would be included in the call for
a special session, the governor de-
clared.

Counsel for the Southern California
Telephone company today appeared
at a hearing before the state rail-

ton association that the company
was earning excess profits.
Attorney Oscar Lawler declared
that the allegations of the associa-
ton were based ION romance rather
than facts"
The association contends that the
company was earning an annual
profit of 1859 per cent on a fair
value of its property in the Los
Angeles exchange. A 25 per cent
rate reduction to subscribers was
asked. The reduction would amount
to $5,500,000 a year for the past
