Is Inadvisable

TAMPA, Fla. - (FP) - While
Tampa police suspended six COPS
and held them in county Jail on
charges of beating and killing
Joseph Shoemaker, labor leader
and head of the Modern Democrats
the American Liberty League an
nounced in New York that it would
not enter the case, despite its fre-
quently proclaimed intention of
defending the constitutional rights
OF humble citizens"
The men in Jail include Sgt. c.
A. Brown, three patrolmen and
two special officers. Attorneys for
the victims have charged that the
police were directly involved in
the KIDNAPPING, and that high Of
Ulcers on the force had given their
tacit permission to the action.

Lasser's protests. He told the
press that it is almost certain
there will be a whitewash. "Tar-
red today and whitewashed tomor-
row." is the expression being used
among Tampa workers, he said.
The three men were arrested for
investigation of alleged Commun-
list activities. Two of them were
Socialists, Gene Poulnot being
president of the Florida Workers
Alliance and a local union leader.
Shoemaker was not even a Social
lst, but had been active in forming
a party called the Modern Demo-
Gratis to take part in the 1885
municipal elections. It's program
was somewhat similar to that of
the EPIC group in California.
EVIDENCE POINTS
To POLICEMEN
LASER told the story of the eN-
ents leading up to the kidnapping,
which present much evidence IF
the whole business having been
planned and perpetrated with the
aid Of the police. A city fireman
of the name of John A. McCaskill,
son of a member of the police de-
partment played a leading and
suspicious part in the meeting
where the five persons arrested
were brought together.
McCaskill prOfessed to be a
sympathizer with organization
ON the part of the unemployed
and had advocated stronger tao
tics than the jObless were in
clined to adopt. He was arrested
along with the others, according
70 LASER, but hiA name was
later erased from the police rec
ord and in its place the name
of o. r. Saul was inserted. The
name is believed to be AN mag
mary one, as none of those con-
earned had ever heard Of sSeA
a person. nor is he listed in any
Tampa directories.
After the men had been Ques
toned by the police, they wer
led one by one to the street. Poul

men apparently from the polio
department who said, "WeV

we're going to take you home.
When he said he would rathe
walk home, they argued with hir
and finally forced him into tn
car. A crowd had gathered near

LIBERTY LEAGUE.
ASKS OBSERVANCE.
DELAWARE DAY
Confined from First PageI

TCOntinRed from First Page
December Z, 1887, marked an event
Of unparalleled precedent in history,
the American Liberty League of
Delaware has compiled the follow
ing account OF the proceedings as
its contribution toward the COM
memoratiOn. The American Liberty
League of Delaware, holding as its
creed the defense of the Constitu-
tiOn, fully realizes the importance
of Delaware's part in its adoption.
It feels that today, 14S years after
the ratification, that same Constitu-
tiOn is still the rock and foundation
of our liberties. In the light Of
present events, the League presents
this historical account as one of
timely significance.
ORGANIZATIONS are urged to mark
the day by speeches, special pro-
grams and historical pageants.
Delaware's delegates were elected
in accordance with an act of the
Legislature after word had been re-
ceived of the new Constitution.
They assembled in the old State
House on Dover Green, and requir-
ed but one day to complete their
deliberations. The Leagues ac-
count tells of the conditions exist
ing prior to the adoption.
Nation Began At Dover
"Delaware's proud boast as THE
First State" is something more
than an idle phrase, eehOing a re-
frain of departed glories," it says.
"For it signifies an event of unpre-
cedented importance in the history
of the world. At Dover on Decem-
Der z, 1887, the fedgling United
States of America took its first fall
tering step toward greatness.
"In order to thoroughly realize
the unparalleled moment of this Oc-
casion, the chaotic state Of affairs
that existed must be visualized. !
Months before, harried by strife and
the knowledge that her code was
inadequate TO cope with the situa-
tion, the young nation had assem-
bled its best minds to bring forth a
safer and more seaworthy ship of
state. All through the summer
these men had debated and weighed
each issue, finally emerging with
their sOlution-the Constitution Of
the United States.
"But that Constitution, so stall
wart today, in 1887 was still an un-
tried instrument. The artisans Of
the new ship we're not entirely sure
that their craft would weather the
tides and storms of the uncharted
seas upon which she must sail
Such was the scene in the autumn
of that year. The Constitution had
been wrought, christened, and await
ed her first test.
upon tiny Delaware rested the
task Of her launching"
