THE MICHIGAN DAILY Supreme Court Acquits Cannon And Burroughs Charged With Attempting To Hide Contributions For 1928_Campaign Four Ballots Taken Government Claimed Only $17,300 Of $65,300 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. F.G. Averill Is Elected Head Of Schoolmasters' Club For Year (Continued From Page 1) 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 Modern Language Meet Led By Prof. del Toro 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. Press Banquet Hears Former Detroit Editor (Continued From Page 1) by school newspapers in the Detroit educational system. After these two discussions, the convention broke up into several round table discussion groups, A luncheon meeting was held at the Union for the college members of the convention, who convened as the Michigan Intercollegiate Press Asso- ciation. The luncheon meeting was followed by a special session devoted to the problems of the small college newspaper. At the afternoon meetings of the high school groups, a general session was addressed by Dr. Frederick B. Fisher of the First Methodist Epis- copal Church of Ann Arbor. Follow- ing this, the convention again broke up into discussion groups, led by out- standing leaders in the various fields of journalistic work.

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. -Associated Press Photo Twelve days after he was put to death clinically, this mongrel dog barked and growled while eating his food in a laboratory at Berkeley, Calif.

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. ELSIFO R CA RTAGE CO. * LOCAL and LONG DISTANCE 7f7I I
