Bishop Considers Repeal Campaign
direct Slap at Churches,"
He Tells Reporters.

Pleas Of not guilty to an indictment
charging them with violating the Fed
eral corrupt practices act during the
1928 political campaign were submitted
In District Supreme Court today by
Bishop James Canon, jr., and his sec
retary, Miss Ada Burroughs.
Both are at liberty under $1,000 bond.
Robert H. McNeill, one of their attor-
neys, said he would ask the United
States Supreme Court today or tomor-
row to pass upon the constitutionality
Of the indictment. The District Su-
preme Court held the indictment to
be invalid, but this decision was re-
versed by the Court of Appeals.
Bishop Cannon manifested little in
terest in the proceedings before his
actual arraignment. perusing newspaper
accounts Of the drive for prohibition
repeal in the South until deputy
United States marshal informed him
that the reading of newspapers was
not permitted in court.
The leader Of the Southern drys re-
fused to comment on the charges
against him. but told reporters after the
arraignment that he considered the ef-
forts Of the present administration in
behalf Of repeal direct slap at the
churches" He expressed the opinion
that the issue raised by the attempt to
repeal the amendment is strictly "a
moral and not political one" Bishop
Cannon appeared In court without the
crutches he has been using recently.
The specific charge IN the indictment
against the bishop and his secretary Is
that political committee with which
they we're affiliated during the 1928
campaign failed to report a contribu-
ton as required by law. Unless the
Supreme Court intervenes. it is expected
their case will be set for trial this Fall

PARK BANK GROUP
MEETING THURSDAY
Committee Will Report on
Plan to Realize Full
Value of Deposits.

The Depositors' Committee of the
Park Savings Bank today set Thurs
day night of this week for the mass
meeting of depositors at Central High
School Auditorium at pm
At this meeting, the Depositors' Com
mittee will make a report on the prog
ress it has made in pushing forward
a program out of which it hopes to
realize 100 cents on the dollar for de-
positors.
The principal spokesman for the
committee will be w. j. Neale. a men,
Der of the Depositors' Committee.
Seek Court Receiver.
The committee is proceeding through
action in court to have the bank de-
clared a co-partnership so that the
committee may proceed under a court
receivership to collect from the directors
Of the bank for losses Of more than ST.
100000 discovered after Robert F.
StunZ, vice president Of the bank, killed
himself March a.
In case the Park Savings Bank should
remain in the hands of the Treasury
receiver now in charge instead Of in
the hands Of court receiver, as re-
quested by the committee, the posi-
bility arose today that the Government
itself might consider proceedings against
the directors or stockholders.
No official indication to this end could
be obtained, but it was indicated in
certain financial circles that the Treas
ury Department first of all Is looking
out for the interest of depositors in
winding up the affairs Of this insolvent
bank.
No Limit to Liability.
If the bank is no longer a corpora
tion, as the Depositors' Committee
charges, but is a co-partnership, max
ing the directors liable for losses, some
experts in the financial district could
see no reason why the Treasury De-
partment itself could not proceed
against the directors as co-partners.
Under the law there is no limit to the
liability of co-partnerS, although there
is 100 per cent limit to the liability
on national bank stock.
The Treasury first, however, in pro-
ceeding to liquidate the bank, will at
tempt, it Is rumored, to assess the 100
per cent liability of the national bank
act against the stockholders. But this
may have to go to court, because of the
fact that the Park Savings Bank is or
ganized under the State law of Ala
bama, and its stock does not carry
double liability.

FILIBUSTER IN SENATE

II ANY proof were required to clinch
I the argument for need of reform in
our method of national legislation, it
Is being furnished at present in the fill
buster being conducted in the senate by
Senator Huey p. Long of Louisiana.
Today marked the fifth day of the
filibuster, which is likely to go on in
definitely, unless the senate invokes the
cloture rule, which is extremely doubt
full
Putting this into language which the
layman can understand, it means that
under the unlimited debate rules govern
ing the senate, Senator Long obtained
the floor last week to oppose passage of
the Glass banking bill. With the assist
ance of Senators Thomas and Wheeler,
he has been maintaining the floor since
that time, preventing the senate from
transacting any business.
A handful of senators who have moth
ing else to do, loll in their seats while
Long and his assistants go on and on,
talking about anything that happens to
come to their minds and will help pass
the time. They do not confine their
speeches to anything that is of benefit
to anyone. They may discuss the depth
of the ice in Spitzbergen, how to remove

Louisiana, or anything else.
A favorable vote by two-thirds of the
senate is required to adopt cloture,
length of debate and thereby break
down the filibuster This is adopted
only in extreme cases, and the lineup
of the senate at present makes it prac-
tically impossible for Senator Glass or
any other senator to summon the re-
CURED two-thirds vote.
This congress automatically goes out
of existence on March 4. 1t could we'll
use every moment of time from now un-
til then, passing needful legislation. In
stead, because of the filibuster, it is do
ing nothing. So far as doing anything
to improve the condition of the country
is concerned, the SO senator's might as
well be in their respective homes play
ing checkers or tiddly-winks.
A filibuster is always possible, but 1t
is even more SO during a lame duck
session of congress, such as the present
one. The senator's know the date of ad-
iournment is March 4 and cannot be de-
layed beyond that time. 1t would be
possible though not probable, to keep
the filibuster going until March H. That
is something to think about.
Happily, the amendment to the con-
stitution abolishing the lame duck"
session, has now been approved by 20
states and requires only 16 more to en-
dorse it, when it will become the law
and the 'lame duck" will go into the
discard This, in all probability, will
be accomplished before the end of the
year.
There is little the average citizen can
do to curb filibusters, but he can re-
member when those responsible for

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. U.P)-
Today is the 50th anniversary of
the civil service system, as we'll as
the 18th anniversary of national
prohibition.
The act creating the civil SER
vice commission and providing for
competitive examinations for fed
eral jobs was approved in 1888 by
President Arthur. More than three
decades of agitation preceded ad-
option of the legislation. 1t made
little progress in 1881, when the
assassination of President Garfield
by an unsuccessful office seeker
focused public attention on the
spoils system.
Conditions prior to 1883 were de-
scribed thusly by George William
Curtis, who was an outstanding
advocate of civil service reform
Every four years the whole ma
chinery of government is pulled to
pieces. The country presents a most
ridiculous, revolving and disheart-
ening spectacle. The business OF
the nation and the legislation OF
congress are subordinated to the
distribution OF plunder among
eager partisans. President, secre-
tarieS, senators are dogged, hunted
besieged, besought, denounced an6
they become mere office brokers
The country secthes with intrigue
and corruption. Economy, patriot
ism, honor, honesty seemed to have
become words of no incoming"
