DIED ENROUTE TO CAPITAL
BY LYLE C. WILSON
tied Press Staff Correspondent


United Press Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON, July 19.-Suspt-
cion that the Z.te Thomas j. Walsh
was murdered to keep him out of
the Roosevelt cabinet was voiced
today by Canon William Sheafe
Chase, veteran vice crusader.
He linked his views on Walsh's
death with general indictment of
what he alleged to be an alliance
between corrupt capital and = un-
derworld in behalf of the liquor
traffic.
Chase told the United Press he
had been so convinced of the pos
sibility of Walsh having died OF
poison that he endeavored to have
post mortem examination made.
The Montana senator died enroute
from Cuba with his bride few
days before he would have become
attorney general
The venerable churchman said
Walsh's death was attributed to
acute indigestion and the symp-
toms Of poison would have been
practically the same. He believed
Walsh was ready to bring whole
sale prosecutions not only in the
underworld but among financiers.
He believed the plans of the attor-
ney general designate were known
to persons who had reason to fear
investigation.
Chase named no names. He did
not know whether a post mortem
was performed. There was no rec
ord at the time of such an exam
ination of the body.
The canon long mas been suSpi-
cious of underworld foul play. He
blamed bootlegger kidnapers when
Raymond Robins, prohibitionist and
social worker, disappeared during
the Hoover administration when
enroute to the White House. Robins
later was discovered in the Caro-
lima hills suffering from loss OF
memory.
my hobby is no longer prohibi-
ton, it is corruption in govern
ment," Chase said. "It is obvious
to me that there is an alliance now
between politics and organized
crime.
"The people who pick our sena-
tors, governors, representatives and
judges have no income with which
to conduct campaigns. Campaign
funds come from organized crime
and selfish and corrupt capital.
The result of that alignment was
refusal to enforce the law when
banks began to close long after
they had accepted deposits while
insolvent."
The canon is hopeful for some
thing miraculous to swing public
sentiment against repeal. If nothing
turns up. he thinks there will be a
new party of independent Repub-
licans and Democrats in 1886 align
ed against corruption and liquor.

U.P-J. Pierpont Morgan arrived
today from New York on the Olym-

might discuss currency stabiliza-

The usually taciturn financier
told reporters he was here on a

on important business. He said he
believed one of the first men he
would see would be Norman.
1t Is impossible to predict the

stabilization were discussed" he
said.

MADRID, July 10. = Premier
Manuel Azana took personal charge
today of the case of five Americans,
one woman, imprisoned for six
weeks on the Paradise Island of
Mallorca for striking a member of
the crack corps of civil guards.
The imprisoned Americans were
Mr.. and Mrs. Clinton B. Lock-
wood, Springfield, Mass; Ruther-
ford Fullerton, Columbus, o.; Rod
erick F. Mead, New York, and Ed
mund w. Blodgett, Stanford, Conn.
Claude G.. Bowers, American am
bassador, was due to see Azana to-
morrow.
Azana, the strong man of the
Spanish government, is minister OF
war as we'll as premier, and there
fore has direct jurisdiction. The
offense for which the five Amer
leans have been held prisoners in
the Palma, Mallorca, jail for six
weeks is military.
The premier-war minister was
expected to seek solution that
would protect the prestige of the
"guardia civil'', up hold the auth
critics who have held the Ameri-
cans. and at the same time end an
incident that caused great interest
! in the United States.
| Emphasizing the seriousness ol
the offense of the Americans, in
Spanish eyes, the premier at the
same time indicated he would take
early action to bring the case to a
conclusion satisfactory to all par
ties.
Orders Consideration
He ordered the government of
Palma to allow the Americans ev-
cry possible consideration within
the limits of the law.
The premier's interruption fol-
flowed, days of earnest work by Bow
ers who apparently used on Fern
ando de Los Rios, the foreign min
lister, the oratorical powers that
made him famous as democratic
speaker at home.
He sent Claude l. Dawson, AM
erican consul general at Barcelona,
on the Mediterranean coast, to in
vestigate. When he learned de-
tails of the case he presented De
Los Rios a memorandum in behalf
of the United States government
requesting prompt and just action.
He also pointed out to the foreign
minister that American newspapers
were showing great interest in the
affair and their articles were do
ing no one any good.
De Los Rios informed the pre-
mier, who arranged to see Bowers
tomorrow, and decided to handle
the case himself.

GRAIN MARKET
HITS SLUMP

CHICAGO, July 10. WP-Grain
prices dropped violently on the
board of trade today when long
holders dumped huge quantities OF
wheat, corn, oats and rye on the
market.
The bottom fell out of the wheat
market, with prices off as much as
1914 cents a bushel, as selling or
derS poured in from all quarters.
Some slight recoveries came near
the close.
Innumerable stop loss orders
were touched off on the precipitate
break.
Other grains collapsed with. ma
jor cereal. Corn slumped about S
cents a bushel and oats more than
that. Rye slid down rapidly, late
deliveries of futures crashing about
IL cents. Selling spread rapidly
in all the pits being accelerated by
weakness in the stock market and
in the Canadian grain market.
The Winnipeg market broke
sharply when big interests there
decided to unload. Eastern inter-
ests were reported buying on the.
break and shorts covered freely.
At the close wheat was 9T to IL
cents lower. Corn was off AS to
AS cents and oats were az to 5ai
cents lower.
July wheat closed at los; July
corn SO; and July oats As.

ICKES TO ELIMINATE GRAFT
IN PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTS

legged mismanagement had been re-
ported.
Keep Close Watch
CLAWS is gathering force of in
spectors to be distributed among
10 regional offices. Then he will
have a flying squadron operating
wherever a situation develops. MI :.
Roosevelt, as war time assistant
secretary of navy, had a group OF
naval officers who became expert
in warding off grating contracts.
Some of them are being rounded up
for this work. The task is dele
gated TO two such men. One is
Capt. Henry Collins, who worked
on English claims after the war,
left the navy and went into pri-
vite life civil engineer. He knows
the contracting game from both
sides. Another, is E. S. Nugent,
former navy commander who
worked with Roosevelt on navy
contracts.
The aim is to prevent graft
rather than to deal with it after
it has appeared.
One thing CLAWS will be on the
lookout for will be trick specifica-
tions. drawn SO that only one cor
poration can qualify for contract,
an old trick in government work
Another will be the time-worn
practice of providing for more ma
terial than is needed on a particular
job. Concerns with hidden tie-ups,
in which a silent interest is held
by politicians and others in posi-
tions to exert influence will be
watched for.
CLAWS undercover force will back
up the precautions being taken by
Henry M. Waite. chief administrator
under Ickes. With long experience
as city manager of Dayton, o., he
has been given orders TO check all
contracts closely and he will have
his own inspectors watching each
individual job. This organization
will make the public works program
one of the most carefully policed
government enterprises on record.

RAGING BOARD
DIFFICULT job

SACRAMENTO, July 1o. up
Governor Rolph today faced the
distasteful job of appointing a
horse racing commission of three
and then submitting the appoint
ments to an unfriendly senate for
confirmation.
Attorney General U. S. Webb rul-
ed late yesterday the appointments
must be confirmed. Such was not
the intent of the legislature when
the racing bill enabling act was
passed last spring.
First racing bill signed by the
governor provided for appointment
of commission of five and confir-
nation by the senate. This bill was
not passed by the legislature.
The second and correct bill pro-
vided for commission of three, not
subject to senatorial confirmation
Webb ruled the commission
should be of three members but, be-
cause of the mixup, senatorial
confirmation was necessary
Governor Rolph debated whether
or not to re-refer the racing bill
enabling act to the legislature for
amendment striking out the con-
firmation clause, OF take. a chance
on favorable action of the upper
house.
He must make his decision i'm
mediately. Webb ruled the commits
sion should have been appointed Is
days after approval of the racing
bill constitutional amendment. To-
day is the 21st day after the June
81 special election.
The governor revealed he had Of
fered place ON the important COM
mission to DR.. A. H. Giannini, pre-

BRISK FIGHT.
ON TAX BILL
Attempt To Gain Exemption
For Public Agencies Draws

United Press Staff Correspondent
SACRAMENTO, July 10. The
first attempt to raise the lid on
major exemptions in the proposed
3 per cent retail consumers sales
tax precipitated a brisk fight in the
senate today.
Senator Roy FELTON,, San Fran
cisco, introduced an amendment
exempting from the sales tax all
purchases by public agencies. Vote
on the controversial proposal will
not be reached until late today.
Senator Ralph Swing, San Ber-
nardino county, warned "this is
the first of an assault on this bill
which has a twofold objective: One,
to cut down the rate; two, to en-
act drastic exemptions.
Enactment of this and other
exemptions would SO reduce the
sales tax yield that an advalorem
tax would be necessary. In other
words it would shift the burden
right back onto the real property
holder. And that is just what the
people don It want us to do. The
electorate told us that much when
they approved the Riley Stewart
tax revision bill.
eff you permit this exemption,
you simply open the door to dis
elimination evasion and unfair
practice,
"The sales tax, as it now stands
provides the state cannot collect
over $l00,000,000. If the yield ex-
ceeds that figure, the board OF
equalization would be compelled
to scale down the rate according
ly.'
Major tax fight will develop in
the assembly. There, opposition
was developing to per cent lazy
Southern California Democrats and
assemblymen sympathetic with
labor and farm interests, were
planning to fight any sales tax
which did not have as a compan-
ion measure personal income tax
The veto overriding march con-
tinued in the assembly. Governor
Rolph IS objections on two bill were
overriden. Cne bill eliminated
state support of city and county
school superintendents conven.
tions. The senate had alread,
taken similar action.
The assembly also joined the
senate in overriding the veto ot
legislation by Senator Andrew
