EARLY NEXT MONTH
Justice Gordon Expected to sus-
tain Two Remaining, Counts =
in Few Days.

A ruling by Justice Peyton Gordon
within the next two days on de-
murrer and a motion to quash the
corrupt practices indictment against
Bishop James Cannon. jr., and his
secretary, Miss Ada Burroughs. is ex-
pected to clear the way for their trial
in District Supreme Court early next
month.
After listening to arguments yes
terday by Robert H. McNeill, counsel
for the defendants, Justice Gordon
indicated he would sustain the two
remaining counts in the indictment.
Their validity has already been affirm
ed by the United States Supreme
Court and Justice Gordon said he felt
it would amount to 'impertinence" for
him to hold otherwise.
The Southern Methodist bishop,
through his counsel, has contended
the indictment does not charge an
ofiense. The Supreme Court upheld
this contention as to the first eight
counts. affirming to this extent an
original ruling by Justice James M.
Proctor. The last two counts. which
charge a conspiracy to violate the
Federal corrupt practices act in fail
ing to report properly a campaign
contribution in 1928. were held. how

REPRESENTS D. C.
IN BOUNDARY UNIT
Charles H. Brough, Former Gov.
ernor of Arkansas, Is Named
by Roosevelt.

Appointment Of Charles Hillman
Brough, former Governor of Arkansas,
as the Districts representative on the
District Virginia Boundary Commits
sion was announced late yesterday by
President Roosevelt.
The commission, created ~ spe-
cial act Of Congress sponsored by
Representative Smith. Democrat. Of
Virginia, will attempt to settle the
century-old boundary dispute between
the District and Virginia. Two other
members are yet to be named. Gov.
Peery of Virginia will select one, who.
with Brough, will appoint the third.
Brough has had a distinguished ca
reer as an educator and state5man
At various times he was professor of
history. economics and philosophy at
Mississippi and Hillman Colleges and
the University of Arkansas. He holds
Phi. D. and LII. D. degrees. Recently
he has been special lecturer at the
University Of Arkansas.
The boundary commission act car
rieS an appropriation of $4,000 for
expenses. The commission must COM
plete its work and report to Congress
and the Governor of Virginia not later
than March /, 1885.
Titles to considerable property on
the Virginia side of the Potomac are
involved in the boundary question.
One of the major questions to be de-
cided. however, is whether the Dis
trict- Virginia boundary should be
drawn at the present high-water marx
of the Potomac or at the high-water
mark that existed when the land was
ceded to the Federal Government by
Virginia. At that time the southern
bank of the river was located at what
is now Reaches Run, south Of Wash

rowing this watered currency from
the goldsmiths.
The next step came when James
the Second was deposed and the
throne offered to William Of Orange.
This revolution" was largely engi-
neered by London's rich Presbyterian
merchants. They were at loss how
to finance the new monarch. since the
goldsmiths were supporters Of the
Stuarts. So they got authority from
Parliament to organize q bank which
would be allowed to do the same thing
the gold craftsmen had been doing
under royal protection. This banks
water certificate Of deposit was the
first banknote.

From 1920 to 1861 there was al
most no gold or silver in the United
States. All trade was carried on by
barter or by unsecured promises to
pay. The value of these promises was
almost entirely dependent on the in
tegrity OF the local banker. through
whom they were manipulated. In New
York and New England they were
very good, but everywhere else they
were very bad. Red dog" banks
sprang up through the South. One
practice was to locate bank in the
middle OF a swamp where nobody
could get to 1t to demand non-existent
collateral for the worthless paper.
This was essentially the condition
up to the time of the Civil War, when
the Government required real money
to carry on the fighting. had to bor-
row 1t from Europe and had to set
up a sane banking system before it
could get any.

1t begins to appear that Gogo isn't
going anywhere. since United States
immigration laws do not provide for
the admittance of pigmy slaves.
Thus Gogo remains in Spain, while
his owner, Mrs. Hugo Rennert. jr.. Of
2101 Connecticut avenue, seeks per-
mission Of Washington authorities to
have him brought into this country.
Although Gogo is 80 years old, he's
no larger than child of g. He is very
handy about the house, however. as
he can play the guitar, wait on table
and run errands.
Gogo has been in Mrs. Rennert's
family for a long time He was pie
sented to Mrs. Rennert by her STEP
father, Gen. Nunez de Prado, captain
general Of the Spanish province Of
Andalusia.
The general bought Gogo while he
was captain general of Spanish
Guinea. The Spanish Embassy here
declined to approve of Gogo's admit
tanco under the Spanish quota, since
he obviously was no Spaniard.
Mrs. Rennert expects to seek au-
thority Of the Department of Labor

An adverse report on a bill to ap-
propriate 100000 for refunds Of
assessments made under the old Bor-
land law to subscribers of the Paving
Tax Refund Corporation was for
warded today by the District Commis-
sioners to Congress.
Upon recommendation BY Corpora.
ton Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman,
the Commissioners took the position
they. should not seek refunds for one
group OF taxpayers and not for all
who were not given refunds under a
law enacted in 1881. At that time
refunds were ordered for assessments
levied during the preceding three
years.
The opinion by Prettyman explains
that 100000 of the 100000 proposed
would 60 "as fee to the general
counsel and secretary of the corpora
ton, for their services to the cor
poration."
The corporation counsel also ex-
planned that while the bill purports
to empower the Commissioners TO
grant relief" to this corporation, tine
fact was the corporation had paid no
assessments. The assessments were
paid by corporation subscribers.
Prettyman said he was of the opin-
ion it would be most unjust and in
equitable" to pay this sum of money
to this or any corporation, and to
grant no relief to thousands of prop
erty owners who are in exactly the
same class. but who have not seen
fit to assign their claims to the COR
poration.
A bill to provide for the payments
to the corporation was introduced in
the House by Representative Sisson.
and q similar bill was introduced in
