Acquits Cannon
And Burroughs
Charged With Attempting
To Hide Contributions
For 1928_Campaign
Four Ballots Taken

Gift WasReported
WASHINGTON, April 27.-(A) -
A jury in the District of Columbia
Supreme Court today found Bishop
James Cannon, Jr., and Ada L. Bur-
roughs innocent of any attempt to
conceal campaign contributions in
1928.
After three hours of deliberations,
during which the jury took four bal-
lots, it brought to the Bishop, sitting
tensely forward on the edge of his
chair, and Miss Burroughs, standing
stiffly grasping a table, an acquittal
on both counts of the indictment
against them-.
On the first ballot, the jury voted
nine innocent, one guilty of wilfully
violating the Corrupt Practices Act
and two unwilfully but unlawfully
violating. The second ballot found
10 voting to acquit and two that
funds were unwilfully not reported.
The third ballot was 11 to one for ac-
quittal.
The charges involved money given
Bishop Cannon by Edwin C. Jameson,
a New York insurance executive, for
use in the campaign in Virginia and
other Southern states against Alfred
E. Smith.
Waves Comment
As his friends and newspapermen
crowded about his chair in the court-
room, the Bishop waved aside imme-
diate comment. He said that later,
after he had taken a nap, he would
have a statement.
Miss Burroughs, too, preferred to
remain silent, but she smiled when
women pushed through the crowd
to shake her hand or touch her arm
and congratulate her.
There was little demonstration at
the verdict. A few handclaps rippled
through the hum of voices, but sharp
shouts of "quiet" from marshals halt-
ed this.
Bishop Cannon said he would leave
tonight for a conference of Metho-
dist Episcopal bishops at Jackson,
Miss.
A woman spectator, Ada Pairecy,
of Parkersburg, W. Va., fought her
way through the crowd surrounding
the Bishop to exclaim:
"Pishop, I said I'd hug you if you
were acquited."
"Hug away," the Bishop said, smil-
ing.
She did.
"We still love you, we know you're
not a criminal," she said. "It is a
victory for Protestantism."
Jurors Waned
Justice Gordon had charged the
jurors to weight "even handed" the
essential and coldly legal points
which he sifted for them out of 16
days of the trial.
Repeatedly, Justice Gordon warned
the jury:
"You can't find one guilty without
finding the other guilty; if one is
not guilty the other is not guilty."
The defense had repeatedly stressed
the argument that Jameson gave
$65,300 to Bishop Cannon - of which
the Government charged only $17,300
was reported - to be spent in what
manner the churchman chose in his
fight against the election of Smith.
City's Biidget Is
Ponlered Over
By Committee
The budget committee of the City
Council has begun to wrestle with
what will probably be a knotty prob-
lem, the city's budget for the coming
year.
Beginning with a three-hour session
Wednesday night, at which the pro-
posed budget was presented, the com-
mittee has entered upon considera-
tion of the city's financial condition
and allocations for the individual de-
partments.
It is probable that the budget will
be kept down to correspond with col-
lections if possible. It is even pos-
sible that expenditures will be re-
stricted to the actual money in the I
city's treasury.
Thus far the heads of the police,
fire, and public works departments
have presented their budgets and ex-
plained their requests before the com-
mittee.

Schoolmasters' Club For Year

luncheon in the Union yesterday that
the financial outlook for the schools
next year was no better than this
year, and that it might prove serious
to Michigan educational standards.
"The problem is far from solved,"
he said. "Though many schools have
not closed simply because school dis-
tricts have gone into bankruptcy to
keep them open, we are still confront-
ed with a crisis in education." Decry-
ing economies which decrease effi-
ciency and are unfair to teachers, Dr.
Henry declared that the ordinary
sources of money, the primary fund,
the general fund, and liquor fund, are
not adequate to maintain proper con-
ditions in the schools. "What we
need," he stated, "is a constructive
enterprise in the form of some other
source of revenue. We must stress the
remedy rather than the need."
Unification Trend Seen
"A little brighter side of the pic-
ture," the assistant superintendent
said, "is the trend toward unification
and co-operation in school adminis-
tration." As an example of this, he
pointed to the Michigan Education
Planning Commission as a hopeful
sign.
Dr. O. R. Yoder, assistant medical
superintendent of Ypsilanti State
Hospital, speakingdbefore a joint
luncheon of the education, research
and school health conferences, yes-
terday, outlined a four-fold program
for dealing with the "problem child."
Examination Recommended
In the first place, Dr. Yoder said,
every peculiar child, immediately as
his case is recognized, should be exam-
ined by a physician, a psychiatrist
and a social worker, and the informa-
tion placed on fi'le.
One of the future jobs of teachers'
colleges must be to train individuals
especially to understand the problem
child, and every public school in every
community must set up a special de-
partment for the education of sucht
abnormal pupils, he said.
Finally, every community needs

understanding probate courts to deal
with such cases as still arise, Dr.
Yoder declared.
Urges Special Treatment
At least 30 to 40 per cent of all
mental cases can be prevented, he
estimated, and while special care and
education for such cases in the public
schools is expensive, it is not as costly
as caring for them later in hospitah
and other institutions.
Necessity for work toward a worth-
while goal as a means of achieving
a co-operative spirit in classroom ac-
tivities was agreed on yesterday bS
the social science conference, follow-
ing a discussion by a panel jury led
by Paul T. Rankin, director of re-
search of the Detroit Board of Educa-
tion.
Creation of purposes or projects by
the pupils themselves and the co-ordi-
nation of each student's efforts to-
ward the accomplishment of these
group tasks, an increased regard for
unbiased facts concerning the social.
sciences in textbooks, and need for a
greater variety of extra-curriculai
activities were stressed in the dis-
cussions.

On China Policy
TOKIO, April 28, - (Saturday) --
- (P) - An official statement of Jap-
an's China policy, asserting that Jap-
an "cannot remain indifferent" to the
efforts of foreign powers to aid China
has been furnished to the American
ambassador here.
The statement was delivered to Jo-
seph C. Grew and Sir Francis Lind-
ley, American and British ambas-
sadors respectively, after they had
requested Foreign Minister Koki Hi-
rota for an authoritative translation
of the "hands off China" declaration
of the foreign office of April 17.
The official statement, which was
revealed here today, follows the main
line of the earlier declaration but con-
tains what diplomatic circles regarded
as more conciliatory language.
Certain foreign efforts to help
China, the new declaration says, "en-
danger the peace of east Asia." Japan,
however, it continues, has no inten-
tion of violating China's sovereignty
and integrity; desires the unfication
of China; supports the open door
equal opportunity policies; and has
no intention of infringing upon exist-
ing treaties.gx
Britain Warns Germany
About Interest Payments
LONDON, April 27.-- (R)--Great
Britain, whose financial interests
have a stake of £24,000,000 -about
$120,000,000 - in the Dawes and
Young loans, has politely and firmly
warned Germany against cutting off
interest on these issues.
The British Government would take
a "grave view" of placing a morato-
rium on thpse loans, it was learned
officially today as Reichsbank offi-
cials and foreign bondholders' repre-
sentatives met in Berlin to thresh out
the problem of medium and long-term
credit transfers.

The way tobacco is cut has a
I
lot to do with the way Chesterfield
burns an tastes
here are many different ways
of cutting tobacco.
A long time ago, it used to be
cut on what was known as a
'1
I
Pease Cutter,
but this dark-
ened the tobacco, and it was
not uniform.
The cutters today
are the
most improved, modern, up-to-
the-minute type. They cut uni-
formly, and cut in long shreds.
The tobacco in Chesterfield
is cut right-you can judge for
yourself how Chesterfields burn
and how they taste.
Everything that science knows
is used to make Chesterfield
the cigarette that's milder ...
the cigarette that tastes better.
