In order to prevent another such firsco as that which disrupted the third- degree Inquiry more than a week ago, every prospective juror will be required to answer in writing a set of questions iregarding his eligibility, with particular reference to pensions and other P‘edernl| or District connections. A Spanish War veteran, who said he did not hear the pension question pro- pounded by the court clerk last July, served nearly three months before it was discovered he was receiving $50 a month for his war services. The be- lated disclosure invalidated 179 indict- ments, Cannon Inquiry First. ‘The Government intends to swear in a grand jury whose qualifications have been established in advance, beyond a doubt. In addition to the written questionnaire, each juror will be ex- amined with meticulous care. The third degree cases will not be re- presented until the Bishop Cannon in- quiry has been completed. The Cannon case was shoved ahead of the police cases because the statute of limitations would have operated to invalidate the election charges at a later date. In addition to a repetition of testi- mony by witnesses in 17 brutality cases, involving more than a score of police- men, new witnesses will be summoned to tell of the alleged intimidation at- tempt on George B. Baber, an impor- tant Government witness against sev- eral headquarters detectives. The name of one of these detectives was brought into the intimidation case through issuance of a warrant charging that two men made an effort to in- fluence testimony “in the case of the United States versus Robert Barrett and others” Barrett, a headquarters detective, is understood to have been involved in the brutality allegations made to the grand jury by Baber, who was arrested and cleared in the Jaynes | murder case. It is expected the intimidation case. |in _which Cecil Mason and Maurice O'Conror are under $3.500 bond each, will be given to the jury at the time of presentation of the Baber assault charges Mason is to be sentenced in Police Court next Friday on charges of illegal possession of liquor and driving an automobile without a permit. He has pleaded guilty to both charges and he also entered a guilty plea to the charge cf obstructing Justice. Since the latter plea was made before a United States Commisisoner, it is not regarded as legally binding in the courts, and Ma- | son may reverse the plea if indicted by the grand jury.

Tur: | next ~ Prid: He has pleaded not | guilty to a formal charge of cbstruct- | ing justice in the third degree investi- | gation. Department of Justice agents have been investigating the intimidation in- cident with a view to learning if the offense allegedly committed by Mason and O'Connor was inspired by the po- lice. They are said to have uncovered some important information in this connection. Whether the information will warrant the Government in asking indictment of any one other than Ma- son and O'Connor could not be learned Justice agents have not been idle since the blowing up of the original grand jury probe. They had completed investigation at that time of 70 com- plaints against the police, but since then a number of other cases have been received and investigated. It is possible several of these additional cases will be called to the attention of the new jury. In the meantime J. Edgar Hoover, director of the Bureau of Investigation, is holding in abeyance his report of the bureau's findings. This report will be revised to include additional cases investigated and to cover final action of the grand jury. Remarks by Attorney General Mitchell in a speech yesterday at Yale University were construed here as an indication the Department of Justice will include in the report definite rec- ommendations for improvement of law- enforcement machinery in Washington. The speech decried researches into law laxity without subsequent suggestions for remedying conditions. STAPLES RELATES CORRUPTION. Cites Alleged Cases Before 75 at Meet- ing in Press Club. Former Policeman Orville Staples, who the grand jury charged Te- moved from the force three years ago as the result of a_“frame up.” bitterly de- nounced the Police Department at a meeting last night in the National Press Club auditorium. An audience of about 75 persons paid an admission to hear the talk, which was advertised as an expose of third degree and police bru- tality. Staples cited cases of alleged corrup- tion in the department which he said he could prove, and excoriated a half dozen present and former police offi- cials. He also charged the District Commissioners with “passing the buck” in creating a special committee of five prominent lawyers to investigate the charges of the grand jury that he was the victim of a “frame up.” Staples told a story of the “cracking” of a safe in a police precinct station and !the thelt of between $250 and $300 which he declared, represented the | proceeds of the sale of tickets for the {annual policemen's and firemen's base ball game in 1927. The officers at- tached to the precinct, he said, made up the stolen fund by personal contri- butions, and the theft never became known publicly. “I was only on the police force a {short time,” Staples declared, “when I idiscovered I was associated with safe- crackers, bootleggers and gamblers. { Poker and blackjack games were held right in the statlon house after every pardey and the ‘big shot' gambl would come in and take the policemel meney away from them.” Staples_also charged that a member of the police force, still on active duty, operated a bar room directly opposite recinct station, and hamed the offi- He also named another officer! whom he accused of “stripping” the tomobiles of his brother officers. | "A stenographer took notes of the cpeech, and person responsible for s vigorously condemned by Staples.

Certaln concessions have been made. | ‘The chief petty officers’ pay, for ex- | ample, is cut from eight shillings six | pence a day to seven shillings eight | pence, instead of to seven shillings six | pence which was the original proposal. This brings the scale to a little less than two dollars a day at the normal rate of exchange. The able seamen’s pay is cut from four shillings to three shillings eight pence (a little less than one dollar), instead of to three shillings. The admiralty also promised special measures to alleviate individual cases among the younger married men whose | incomes are reduced by the wage cut. Vallee Explains Baby Carriage.

This record was set in July by Russell Boardman and John Polando, in flying from New York to Istanbul, Turkey. Have No Safety Devices. Staking their lives on the eir worthiness of their plane, the pilots did not carry life belts, radio or rubber boats. The ship was not equipped with pontoons and the aviators expected to drep their running gear as soon as they were safely over the sea and felt their motor was running smoothly. The bottom of the plane's cockpit has been reinforced with steel to make a landing without wheels possible. Abandonment of the landing gear was expected to do away with considerable wind resistance and lighten the plane approximately 3,000 pounds Some apprehension was expressed by the police of Aomori prefecture, over which the fiyers wiil pass before leav- ing Japan, after it was announced the landing gear was to be dropped. Upon learning the gear was not to be cut loose over land, and thus could not cause 4ny injury, the police appeared satis- The Americans' charted course of- fered great hazards.

It is & question of “individualism or col- lectivism, capitalism or communism, Americanism or bolshevism, the re- public or the soviet,” the speaker stated “The Republican party stands for the American system,” he said. ““The coali- tion that will oppose the Republican party, in Congress and out, is against | that system.” (The full text of Mr. Lucas' address will be found in the editorial section of today's Star.) en- | 'MYSTERY PLANE SOUGHT Aé ROI\;lE IS BOMBARDED Anti-Fascist Protests Dropped From Air by Pilot—Army Craft Seek His Identity.

BRITISH LIBERALS * HITELECTION PLAN MacDonald’s Prospects Dealt Severe Blow by Three Organizations., By the Associated Press, LONDON, October 3.—The Liberals this evening struck a severe blow at Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald' prospects of keeping the present na- tional government together in the event of a general election, A joint mecting of the executive com- mittee of three important Liberal or- ganizations passed a resolution utterly condemning the plan for an election this month and vigorously reafirming the Liberal belief in free trade. The organizations are the National Liberal Federation, the Women's Na- tional Liberal Federation and the Na- tional League of Young Liberals. Addressed by Samuels. The meeting was addressed at length by Sir Herbert Samuels, acting Liberal leader and home secretary in the na- tional government. This action by an important section of the Liberal party emphasized the magnitude of Mr. MacDonald's task in reconciling the differences between his present supporters, who include Con- servatives wanting tariffs #nd an Octo- ber election and Liberals wanting nei- ther. That an election is inevitable before the end of the month remained the belief of almost all political commenta- tors. How Mr. MacDonald is to find a formula to satisfy both his Liberal and Conservative supporters, however, Was a matter on which observers scarcely ventured to speculate. Audience With King. Mr. MacDonald this morning went to the country home of his friend, Sir Philip Sassoon, undersecretary for air, and later went to the prime minister’s country residence at Chequers to re- main until Monday. Before his de- parture he had an audience with the King at Buckingham Palace, acquaint- ing him with the details of the gov- ernment’s problem Before leaving town Mr. MacDonald said he would run for re-election to Parliament from Seaham Harbor, where the Labor party has repudiated him, if labor leaders of either official or unofficial organizations invited him to be a candidate. His decision was viewed as a chal- lenge to the Seaham Harbor labor ex- ecutive which reiterated its decision to support another candidate last night, after he had explained his reasons for heading the national government and had asked for its indorsement.

GREEN SETS FORTH LABOR'S DEMANDS UPON CAPITALISM (Continued From First Page.) eration of Labor will emphasize the ne- cessity of applying two particular reme- dies in the existing unemployment situ- ation. Seek Relief and Work for All. First, relief must be afforded to thase who are in dire distress. Men, women and children must be fed, clothed and Hunger and intense suf- fering must not exist in a land of plenty. The wealth of the Nation must respond to the needs of the occasion. Food and shelter must be supplied not in & mere limited way but in sufficient quantities to meet the maximum re- quirements in order to supply food, shelter and clothing to those who are suffering from unemployn:ent. Second, special efforts must be put forth to find anployment for all who are willing and able to work. The American Federation of Labor attaches great importance to this suggested remedy for unemployment. The can- vention will demand that special at- tention must be given to the creation of work opportunities, to an equitable distribution of all work available. We shall continue to press our de- mand in a most vigorcus and promising way for the adjustment of the working time through the inauguration of the five-day week and the shorter working dav so that work opportunities may be broadened and increased, and through such a process, unemployment reduced to a minimum. Labor to Press Demands. Our slogan will be “Work for all.” We shall press for the general acceptance of the principle that people must be accorded the right to work. We hold that the management of industry and the owners of the wealth of the nation must respond to this demand, which we are sure will be constantly presented with increasing emphasis. Labor will no longer subscribe to the doctrine that work and relief must be conferred; they now hold that the right to work is fundamental and is as sacred as the right’ to enjoy freedom, life, liberty and happiness. Labor regards the development of public sentiment and public opinion in support of this advanced position—the derand of labor for the exercise of the right to work—as of transcendent importance and will so express itself at this great,” historic and important convention. Holds Scene Significant. Further significance is attached to the fact that this convention of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor is being held in a section of Canada where no pre- vious convention of the American - eration of Labor had ever met. For the first time in the history of organized labor in the United States and Canada a convention of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor is being held in the city of Vancouver, British Colom- bia, and in this section of the Dominion of Canada.
