Prosecuting Attorney B. Gray Warner
Faces Charges In Seattle Graft Trial

Graft charges growing out of
the arrest of Rich Palmer and
Jack Sullivan is still holding the
spotlight in Superior Judge Robert
M. Jones' court. Frequently the
jurors and spectators prick up
their ears for exciting details as
the trial progresses.
Col. Ewing D. Colvin, attorney
for Palmer, stated in court that
he would attempt to prove that
the prosecutor of King County was
behind this whole entrapment."
The attorney stated that Palmer
and Sullivan were charged with
taking money from a Chinaman
for protection in opening up lot
terry. That there never was Chi
naman but that an undercover a
gent acted as one.
Palmer stated that the Prose-
cutting Attorney could not proceed
against any gamblers because he
was under obligations to those who
had been responsible for his APP
pointment. He testified that he
and police undercover agent be-
came friendly and the agent told
him that he knew lots of Cinnamon
and he would introduce Palmer to
them. Palmer stated that while
he was in his room, Sullivan and
Bates came in and they had bot
tie. Meanwhile, they waited for a
Chinaman who was to come up.
They waited expected to catch
the Chinaman" Instead of CATCH
ing the Chinaman, Hewitt, under
cover man, caught him
Prosecutor Warner denied pro-
missing Palmer any job; he only
agreed to furnish him $4,000 as
campaign expenses. He also stat
ed list of gambling places fur
nished by Palmer was given to the
grand jury but they found moth
ing on which to base any COM
plants.
Palmer testified a slot machine
syndicate attempted to sell park
ing meters to the city for $50 or
$50 while the same machines were
sold in Cleveland for $3.50.
Palmer likes Prosecuting Attor-
ney B. Gray Warner, but he really
does not like Schermer, he said SO
himself - and Schermer does not
like him.
Palmer said they couldn't, but
they did arrest zone of Gods an
gels" that night.
After argument by Col. Colvin,
attorney for Palmer, that the in
formation of the state was faulty
and that the Chinaman was ficti-
tious, Judge Robert M. Jones took
the case under advisement and fl
nally dismissed the charges.
RESULT: Palmer did not catch
the Chinaman. The state did not
convict zone of Gods angels"

Fashionables Object To
Heaven" In Vicinity;
Seek To Gust Divine

NEW ROCHELLE, NY. (UNP)
= Taken by surprise, and virutlly
up in arms, indignant citizens of
residential Sutton Manor are now
threatening to take some speedy
forceful action to GUST followers
Of Father Divine from his latest
acquired choice for a "heaven."
Miss Harriet Grippe, a white fol-
lower of the Black God and his
teachings, was reported the title
holder of the spacious fifteen-room
three-story, shingle structure in
the middle of plot 150x150 feet.
The property, valued t$50,000 in

sentiment of highbrow citizens
who have taken the matter to Cor
poration Counsel Aaron Simmons
in an effort to rid the community
of Divine angels" who went to
their newly acquired heaven bear
ing brooms, mops, dust clothes and
other cleaning material.
John White, white secretary to
Father Divine, stated, "the house
will be occupied as private resi-
dence. I don't think they will find
any way to evict U.S."
Miss Cripes had nothing to say
concerning the transaction and
was present to take a part in the
house cleaning.
Neighbors of the new kingdom
include such citizens as Supreme
Court Justice Lee Parsons Davis.
"Give me a cigarette so 1 can
stand the shock" he told report
er who had informed him of his
new neighbors.
Local citizens, members of Echo
Bay and New Rochelle Yacht club
are wondering about their neigh
bors taking advantage of their
rights to partake of recreational
facilities at the beach nearby.

tizens held an indignation meeting
soon after it was learned what was
happening in their midst. The
meeting was held at the home of

ST. LOUIS, MO.-Drys won a
smashing victory when they de-
feated a bill which would have
authorized permits to all frater-
nal, civic, church benevolent and
charitable organizations to sell
either 80 or so beer. There were
three such bills and all of them
Were defeated.
Another group of bills was to
break down the Sunday closing

ST. LOUIS, Mo. (UNP) = On
June 1, the Colored Cashiers So
ciety began picketing the Criter-
ion Theater, Negro motion picture
house, which the proprietor then
closed down, presumably to avoid
violence.
The Cashier Society went on re-
cord as demanding that Negro
machine operators replace white
operators in movie houses attend
ed by Negroes. A similar demand
was adjusted in 1885 by a COM
mittee appointed by the Mayor.
The NAACP and the Colored
Clerks Circle had also requested
that white movie operators be re-
placed by Negroes, prior to the
appearance of Negro pickets at
the theatre last week.
Achilles Nanos, one of the pro-
prietors, stated that the show
place win be reopened this week.
However, 1t was unknown whether
ero operators will replace white
i,e men as requested by the
picketeers last week.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Sometimes we speak of "the speed
of a bullet but when we do, it is
well to remember that bullets travel
at different speeds. Some rifle bull
lets 60 at the rate of mile a second,
others only 1000 feet second.
Airplanes have not yet reached
the speed of bullets. Some of them
however, make from 500 to 900 feet
in a second, or about half the speed
of a bullet fired from low-powered
rife.
Bombing planes are not so fast,
as some other kinds of war craft,
but some new models can zip along
at a rate up to $50 feet second.
This fact gives US an idea of the
trouble man in the plane may
have in aiming at an object on the
ground.
A bomb dropped from an airplane
in full flight does not go straight
down. 1t has a forward motion and
will land at some point ahead of the
place where it is let loose. In war
fare of recent times, some cities
have been bombed "in general" In
other words, hundreds of bombs
have been dropped in many places,
without much worry about where
they fell, so long as they struck
some part of a city below. The OBJ
ject has been to spread terror

to an army is in wrecking places of
special value to the enemy. Such
places include munition factories,
airplane hangers and railway yards.
Teaching bomb-droppers to aim
their bombs well has been one of the
main problems of army and navy
officers in late years. Students have
learned, or tried to learn, just how
far ahead a bomb will 60 from a
plane moving at certain speed and
at a certain height.
In some late-model planes, the
bomb b-dropper lies on the floor in
the nose of the airplane, ahead Of
the pilots seat. He looks down at
the ground through a window, and
let's a bomb fall when he believes
the time Is right.

West opened the king Of dia-

diamonds left and quite properly
perceived that unless the suit were
evenly divided he would have to
trump the fourth diamond in dunn
my. OF course, If each opponent
held two trumps, South could cas-
lily make his contract by the SIM
pie expedient of drawing two rounds
of trumps. But If one opponent
held three trumps, this plan would
not work for he could then play
third round; therefore declarer SIM

promptly cashed two diamonds,

dummy's heart ace. Now a trump
was led from dummy. South fin

We admit that all South would
have to do at any point is to lay
