Among some of the things that will be brought out at the hearing is a case where three defendants, charged with violating the natfonal proh tion law, were out on bond, ons $500 and the other two on $1,000 each, was settled out of court by paymeat of small fines, only two of the de- fendants appearing. The other man, who was bonded for $1,000, disappear- ¢d and the bondsman., to save his $1.000 bond surety, paid a fine for the missing defendant, representing to the assistant district attorney that the missiug defendant was present Reported Clash With Police. A well known bondsman doing busi- ness at the Police Court said yester- day that recently at a hearing before one of the United States commission- ers of a whisky case words passed in which a police officer told a bonds- man that through the latter's per- nicious activities in cases which the prohibition agents and police had made after painstaking efforts, the cases had been disposed of on_the payment of fines. This police officer is aligeed to have told the bondsman In open court: “I know enough about you and your crooked work as honds- man and taking fees as a lawyer to send you to the penitentiary." If half the cvidence that is the basis of general discussion among the attorneys around the courthouse is brought out at the special hearing. Attorney Hughes will more than make good his charges. said a well known attorney today. Would Restrict Privileges. Assistant District Attorney Ralph Given belfeves that If the police de- partment would prohibit the bonds- men to enter the police precinct sta- tion house to see prisoners, defend- ants doing their business through their attorn first, and not with the bondsmen, the possibilities of operating the alleged conspiracies between the bondsmen. police, reve- | nue men and lawyers in the deal would be entirely eliminated. Another suggestion of Mr. Given is that the courts appoint one deputy clerk to take bonds after the close of the courts at 4 o'clock, from the clerk’s offices in the courts, up to and including, say, 11 o'clock at night land that after that hour no more {bonds be taken for release of pris- oners until the courts are in session the next morning, with the excep- {tion where a writ of habeas corpus Is issued. Hearing to Be Public. The hearing of the charges made by Attorney Royal Hughes, to be held Tues- day night next, will be open to all who desire to attend and tell what they know of the alleged irregular conditions. Judge Robert Hardison said today that the purpose of the hearing was to get at the bottom of the facts contained in the charges made by Attorney Hughes {and bring out other charges. if .such exist. He sald that the hearing would be in the nature of a judiclal hearing, Ibut not confined to the etrict rules of evidence; that anyone who had anything to say on the subject would be heard, to obtain evidence to be used as leads for investigations by the court for further jand fuller consideration. { "It is the purpose of Judge McMahon {and myself,” sald Judge Hardison, “to | !§o to the root of this thing and if wel ican secure eufficlent evidence we will be enabled to break up the alleged con- {ditions complained of by Attorney Hughes, and which have been current gossip around the courts for a long | time. We are in possession of some startling alleged irregularities, which, if proved, will be of the most serious na- ture as violations of the law.” {POPE WORKS ON PROGRAM | Undisturbed by Delay in Complet- ing Encyclical. | By the Associated Press. | ROME, December 1.—Pope Pius has Ibeen working hard on his allocution land his encyelical. The former will {be delivered in secret consistory on December 11. The latter. which com- | prises the program ot his pontificate, | is addressed to all the Roman Cath- {olic_bishops in the world. It was |originally ‘meant for the consistory, { ibut its issuance has been postponed to a date not vet determined. The pontiff wishes to revise the text, re- polish the style and introduce modi- fications and additions suggested to {him by events throughout the world. When reference has been made to the delay in the encyclical the Pope tranquilly has observed: “That is im- | material; one vear more or less is of no consequence in church historsy” All that is known of the encyclical thus far is that it will be lengthy. ! — = = China has the largest population in the world, with 428,000,000, and the largest area of any of the world's| | political divisions, 4.278,000 square i miles.
