ACTION DUE

Criminal Cases Delay
States Attorneys
Investigation

UPPER MARLBORO. Md, Oct.
29.-State's Attorney Alan Bowie
had before him today 80 affidavits
of reputed victims in the Prince
Georges county bond racket" and
announced intention of continu-
ing the investigation until it is
determined whether there is cor.
ruption in the police department.
The affidavitS were gathered by
the keystone Automobile Club and
turned over last night to Bowie by
Harvey L. Cobb, counsel for the
club. Following a conference with
Bowie, Cobb said:
1--WE believe that these 80 affi-
davitS will prove cOnclusively
that a bonding racket does exist
in the county and that there
is a definite collision between
the bOndSmen, the police magis-
trates and the police. This is as
far as the Keystone Club can
go in the investigation without
a direct perusal of the court rec
OrdS, the police blotter and the
justice of the peaces' reports.
The rest is up to the State"
States Attorney Bowie last
night said that the pressure OF
criminal cases he is prosecuting
in the present session of the
County Circuit Court will not per
nit him to read the affidavits
submitted by the keystone law,
yerS before Monday.
When asked if he intended to
follow the recommendation of the
grand jury and engage the se2v.
ices of special Investigators and
auditors, Bowie said that he would
not know until he had seen the
evidence to determine the best
course of action.

Says:

Just like the girl who always
SneakS a look at the end of the
story, the American public is
going in a big way for news
paper polls on the election .
The only trouble is that the
average reader can't tell wheth-
er the poll indicates the truth,
or whether he's being taken for
a Straw-ride.
But there's one nice thing
about this polling idea. No
matter which way you're bet
ting on the results, you can al
ways find one of the systems to
agree with you.
From the way the Republi-
cans are working, it looks as
though they aren't interested in
straw votes. No, sir! They're
just making hay while the Sum
flower shines.

A CARTOONIST
By HELEN ESSARY


The two most interesting per

English cartoonist, as he passed

are Mr.. Roosevelt and Father
Divine, the Negro evangelist.
Mr.. Low, whose sketches in the

ings soon after he arrived in New
York. He introduced himself to
the Negro preacher and was
promptly invited to sit on the
stage. Mr.. Low accepted and had
a magnificent evening.
A White House press conference
was the British cartoonist's par
ticular goal in Washington. So he
asked his old friend, Harold
Koran, to arrange an introduc-
ton there for him.
Mr.. Low was enchanted and
impressed with the spectacle of
the President of the United States
and the press talking over public
affairs.
The informality of the confer.
ence never quite grew intimate,
he said, even when gayest and
most friendly. No one there had
a doubt that he was in the pres
ence of the President of the
United States. He was delighted
with Mr.. RooSevelt'S quick wit.
After the press conference, Sir
Wilmott Lewis, correspondent Of
the London Times, introduced Mr..
Low to the American correspon-
dents. Then Mr.. Low dashed off
to Garfield Hospital to see Mr..
Koran who is being treated there
for a severely sprained ankle.
Early in the Gay Mr.. Low had
called on and sketched the three
American Cabinet members best
known in England-Secretary of
State Cordell Hull, Secretary Of
the Treasury Henry Morgenthau,
and Secretary of the Interior Har-
