LAWYER ADMITS
BIG FEE GIVEN
IN RECEIVERSHIP

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. l2
U.P) - John w. Dinkelspeil, San
Francisco attorney, received $4,000
for acting as receivership attorney
for the Sonora Phonograph COM
pany. although he performed no
court duties, he testified today at
the congressional inquiry into the
official conduct of Federal Judge
Harold Louderback.
The jurist is under fire in con-
nection with appointment of re-
ceivers and receivership attorneys
in cases arising in federal court
here. He is accused directly of
making arbitrary appointments to
discharge personal Indebtedness.
The hearing, before a congressional
committee presided over by Rep.
F. H. LaGuardia (RepO New York,
began last week.
Dinkelspiel said ne worked for
six months with Guy H. Gilbert,
Western Union telegraph operator
and receiver for the big Sonora
firm, who admitted last week that
he drew $1,000 as receiver for the
company although he continued
working with the Western Union.
He admitted the company had
no creditors in California and that
his efforts in connection with the
receivership concerned minor legal
matters.
The attorney testified that he
and his brother, Martin, received
100000 in fees in two other Louder
back receiverships and acted as at
torneys in two others.
Both denied knowing Sam Leake,
self-styled metaphysician and as
serted friend and political advisor
of Judge Louderback. Leake ad-
mitted on the stand that he sug-
gested certain appointments to the
judge and that he paid for quarters
occupied by the jurist at the exclu-
sive Fairmont hotel here.
LaGuardia has been attempting to
show that Leake was a "go-be-
tween" and cut in" on receivership
fees handled through Louderbacks S
court.
Martin Dinkelspiel testified the
judge allowed his firm $4,000 as
fees for one years work in the
Golden State Asparagus company
receivership.

to fire the fatal shot, using two of
the 27 cartridges he carried in his

them. After his conviction and
sentence Of death, the unused re-
volver was handed over in the or

PORTLAND, Ore. Sept. u. =
Branding the Mitchell report on
the bonus army as a political ges-
ture, Representative Wright Pat
man of Texas, father of the bonus
bill, said today the report has
stirred antagonism against the
President in Legion ranks.
1T was purely an electioneering
document" Patman declared at the
opening session of the American
Legion convention" and it was a
deliberate plan for effect on this
convention.
THE report in its entirety was
ridiculous" Patman said. ut is
not a question of the records of
the men of the bonus army but
their conduct while in Washington.
President Hoover had the re-
port issued on the eve of the con-
vention so he might use the Legion
to further his own political inter
ests, but it will probably be a BOOM
erang.
Considerable sentiment among
the Legionnaires has manifest it
self in the past two days to defeat
any resolution censuring the Pres
ident for the eviction of the bonus
army by force. This Mitchell state
ment, however, has angered the
veterans and the censure reSolu-
ton is now almost sure to be
adopted"

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. IL, UD
Secretary of War Patrick j. Hurley
turned boos to cheers when he ad-
dressed the American Legion con-
vention here today.
Greeted by a loud chorus of boos
when he arose to speak, the tall,
handsome war secretary spoke
briefly and was cheered for five
minutes when he finished.
Il come here not as a public Of
ficial, but as a Legionnaire,' Hurley
told the veterans.
He thanked the American Legion
for its efforts to protect the ma
tional defense acts from interests
which early last October attempt
ed to reduce war and navy appro-
priations.
Let us live together in comrade-
ship, and not let any political is
sues enter our organization" he
said. I'VE fought shoulder to
shoulder in France neither as Re-
publicans nor Democrats but as
Americans. We need Americans
now, big enough to put patriotism
above politics"
PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. IL. U.H
The bonus issue and censure of
the administration for the eviction
of the bonus army from Washing
ton were hurled into the American
Legion convention today by Mayor
James M Curley of Boston.
There is no way in which one
can justify the brutal and arbitrary
methods adopted by the President
of the nation" the Boston Demo-
crat shouted. He lauded the bonus
army as "an orderly group of near
ly 10000 men, actuated by the high
est motives of patriotism, and de-
sirous alone of forcibly directing
the attention of the resitant and
reluctant law making officials ma
tionally as to. the true conditions
obtaining in the nation"
Josephus Daniels, war time sec
retary of the navy, urged the Am
erican Legion to go into politics
to save the country from business
chaos and "semi-feudalism" in gov
ernment.
He proposed a new enlistment"
in an army of peace, designed to
defeat the encoachment of anti
Democratic governments.
