PLEA
FOR DELAY
DENIED
Court Orders Trial On; Jury
Selection Started in Case
of Campaign Fund Charge

Bishop James Cannon, jr., of
the M. E. Church, South. lost
the opening gun in the long de-
layed court action on his activi-
ties in the 1928 presidential
campaign today when Justice
Peyton Gordon in District Su-
preme Court overruled a mo-
tion to require the Government
to file a bill Of particulars.
AS the long delayed trial of the
Bishop and Miss Ada Burroughs,
Of Richmond, treasurer of the COM
mittee which waged the anti
Smith campaign in Virginia,
opened today the court room was
packed and long lines of persons
were waiting outside the court
room for admission.
Must Pick Jury
Robert H. McNeill. attorney for
the bishop, in asking for the bill
of particulars, asserted that so far
there has been nothing presented
to show when or where the church.
man was engaged in an unlawful
conspiracy.
Justice Gordon overruled the
motion however. and the next step
will be the selection of jury to
try the case.
Bishop Cannon and Miss Bur
roughs were in the courtroom
when the judge made his ruling.
Bishop Cannon and Miss Bur
roughs pleaded not guilty to the
charge and the task Of selecting
the jury was started.
Justice Gordon asked the pros
pective jurors if they knew the
defendants or counsel, if they
were members of any organiza-
ton for prohibition, if they en-
tertained any religious prejudices
or if they would be prejudiced be-
cause Bishop Cannon opposed the
Smith candidacy because of
Catholicism. To these questions
the jurors answered in the mega
tive.
One Woman Excused
Mr.. McNeill asked if there was
any prejudice on the grounds of
reform, and this was also an
Swered in the negative. One
woman on the panel was excused
by mutual consent and then coun-
sci started using their challenges.
With Mr. McNeill, in court, were
his son, George H. McNeill, Ed
ward B. Dunford, counsel for the
Anti-Saloon League. and M. F..
Fulton of Richmond, representing
Miss Burroughs.
The Government is represented
! by District Attorney Leslie C. Gar
nett and two of his assistants,
Roger Robb and George H. Will
son.

ASSA|LED BY
WE|DEMAN
Unprotected and Insanitary
Fairgrounds Cited; Would
Give D. c. Heads Control

On the heels of introduction
into Congress of bills reorganiz-
ing the Board of Public Wei
fare, a blast of indignation was
loosed against the Board of
Education today by Represen-
tative Carl M. Weideman (D.)
of Michigan.
A new member of Congress, and
an active member of the House
District Committee, Representa-
tive Weideman charges that:
"The present system is all
rotten"
Discussing District Com mis-
SionerS' lack of authority to con-
troll education here under present
law he aSSailed first the method
by which DR.. Frank w. Ballou.
superintendent of schools, was ap=
pointed: e--.~. -.>
F'Tf DR.. BaIlou's appointment
here from another State is an
example of what happens when
the superintendent is imported,
surely nobody appointed from
Washington could do worse"
Fairgrounds 'DiSgrace"
The playground situation here
is especially deplorable, he be-
lieves, and is "a disgrace to the
Capital. There are not enough
Fairgrounds and those already
built are too small, he added.
Some schools require their chill
dren to play in dark, unventilated
Easements, where there is only a
few feet of space per child, while
where Fairgrounds are provided
they frequently are adjacent to
unsightly unsanitary dumps, the
Congressman declared.
In several instances he has
found by personal inspection there
are no fences to prevent the chill.
dren from running back and
forth across streets in the path OF
fast-moving traffic.
Children OverwOrked
Scores of letters have been
pouring into his office this past
winter, too, the Representative
declares, complaining bitterly
against children being over
worked. Parents charge teachers
in many instances with requiring
too much homework and protest
their youngsters are suffering
from nervous breakdowns as a
result.
Were the Commissioners given
greater control over the Board
of Education just as now they
are seeking more control over
the Board of Public Welfare

conditions might be alleviated.

HOUSE ACTION
DUE APRIL 23
UNDERPLAN
Poll Shows More Than Re-
quired 145 Members Uncon-
ditionaIIy Backing Measure

Fearing Congress will ad-
journ before the Mcleod bank
relief bill can be enacted, Rep
resentative Carl M. Weideman
D.) of Michigan today intro
duced a petition in the House
moving to discharge the bank
ing committee from further
consideration of the bill.
Should this be signed by 145
members, as it appears certain to
be, the bill will be voted upon by
the entire House on the first "diS-
charge Monday" after interven-
ton of seven legislative days.
Within five minutes after the
petition was introduced, II men,
bers had signed it.
Vote Slated April 23
Should enough signatures be
affixed within. the next few days,
the vote would be taken April 23.
Mr.. Weideman's strategy was
resorted to when persons favoring
the bill feared it might be
Shelved. Even should the COM
mittee approve it, they pointed
out, wheels Of legislation move so
slowly the measure could not pos
sibly be enacted for six weeks. -
Since adjournment now ap-
pears certain about May Is, or
five and one-half weeks hence,
some drastic steps have to be
taken.
First signer to the petition was
Representative Jesse P. Wa:cott
(R.) of Michigan, who affixed his
signature the instant it was laid on
the clerks desk. g..
From a poll conducted by Uni
verSal Service it appears certain
a sufficient numbr of signatures
will be obtained shortly.
149 Back Measure
Results of the Universal Service
poll showed in the House 149
members Internationally in favor
of the bill, 81 conditionally so
IA noncommittal, and only 20
against. Sick or out of the city
were 65, who could not be reached
In the upper chamber 81 Sen
ators are frankly favorable, 20
more conditionally, SO noncom
INITIAL, and only IL against its
passage. Seven Senators could
not be reached.
Aid Provided
The Mcleod bill, which has
been gaining in popularity as a
worthy relief project since intro.
duced by Representative Clarence
j. Mcleod CR.) of Michigan in
February, would free approx.
mately 1900 million dollars now
frozen in closed banks, if passed
It authorizes the RFC to pur.
chase the assets of closed national
banks and such State banks as
were members of the Federal
Reserve System at the time they
were closed.
After this was done, depositors
could be paid off 100 per cent of
their closed accounts, the banks
reorganized and reopened.
Small Loss Seen
In return for its investment, the
RFC would dispose of the Sc
curities it had purchased over a
