CHICAGO, December 10.—The mur- der of Octavius C. Granady, climaxi a day of violence and thtevery at the April 10 primary, spurred a group of " civic leaders to a smashing attack on the | alliance between crime and politics. | Granady, a negro lawyer, was the| opponent of City Collector Morris Eller, \ a Thompson wheelhorse, for the com- mitteeman’s post in the “bloody twen- | tieth” ward, An hour after the polls closed he was chased through the streets of the ward by & gang of gun-| men, fun to earth and shot In cold; blood. d e savagery of the killing, 0 fin'm to & Savyo( terrorism and Khl y, brought together the city’ ers, among them Carl R. Latham, pre: ident of the Chicago Bar Association, and Frank J.

Miller May 9 to petition for & special jury and a special prosecutor. He asked, because o! the law that State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe had put through the Legislature forbidding spe- cial prosecutors, to have Attorney Gen- eral Oscar Carlstrom appointed to df rect the investigation, the actual in- uiry to be placed in the hands of an uprum Chicago lawyer.

Funds were needed and the Board of Cook County Commissioners was asked for $150,000. Ten commissioners were vlll!n( to appropriate, but five men, fpur we-Thompson henchmep, tha mh & Democrat from a Crowes Thompson stronghold, refused. Twelve votes were necessary for the appropria- tion under the law. Loesch and his civic allies countered with an appeal for public subscriptions, ‘The newspapers backed the plea and the Chicago Daily News gave further aid with a 85, 000 subscription. The fund hit $154,000 within a few weeks. The special prosecutor rbhared a staf of aides and a corps of investiga- tors. The first grand jury was im- paneled June 4. On June 18, the first indictments were returned. Among the 10 men accused were State Senator James B. Leon- | ardo, an Eller lieutenant, and Martin Klass, nephew of “Boss” Eller and sec- retary to the boss' son, Judge Eller. Accused with them on charges ranging from ballot thieveries to kidnaping and assault' to murder were eight others, Ousted Detective Heads Quis. On June 27, Peter Pacelll, a cousin of a State legislator, and an erstwhile member of the State's attorney's police detail, . was indicted with 13 others, charged with poll violence, kidnaping, slugging and assault to kill.

IS HAMSTRUNG Congress Members Flayed by Former Commissioner After Silence. Frederick A. Fenning, former presi- dent of the Board of District Commis- sioners, a central figure in one of the| most sensational investigations ever held by a committee of Congress into the operations of the District govern- ment, has broken his silence of almost two years, and uttered a scathing de- nunciation of Congress and the system of coercion which he says virtually sets up the national legislative body as the | board of management of the Capital. Under his own signature in the New York World appeared yesterday morn- ing an article of more than three col- | umns in length, in which Mr. Fenning goes deeply into conditlons which he claims are “hamstringing” the District overnment and destroying the confi- lence of the citizens of Washington in that government as well as disrupting the efficiency of the District employes. He wields a caustic pen, and spares no grov) 1p leveling his shafts of criticism pm cularly at “a small subcommittee” h has been sitting for two years lnd at the Bureau of Efficiency. Throughout the article runs a ehreAd of recommendations addressed to Pres- ident-elect Hoover that he may “lead the way to the establishment of a strong and virile District government, On the other hand he may determine that the United States itself conduct all of the affairs of that portion of the country which was set aside to house the Nation’s workshop.” He ends his article with the state- ment that “a national need cries aloud for the strength of his leadership and for the wisdom of his determination.” “With the convening of the new Con- sm the friends of home rule for the fstrict of Columbia are hopeful that some measure for relief will be started in their behalf,” Mr. Fenning says. “Hodgepodge of Complaint. “Mr. Hoover has livéd in Washington for the t elght years., During much of this time there have been congres- sional investigations, public school squabbles, appeals for the right to vote and a general spirit of criticlsm of everything in the District of Columbia, Including &t;; :‘(zur'.sw ;resmenc pc&le- idge's contribution o hodgepodge of complaint was to express regret that under law he was limif in the appointment of civilian Commissioners to bona fide residents of the District. “The District of Columbia has out- grown the form of Government devised 0 years ago, It needs a form of local or municipal government, with a sin, h executive head possessing and exe! ing authority; or else it needs to be taken over bodily and run by the gen- eral Government. “Can .
