Keen Wit NEW YORK. —_—17.—Jflm(‘sScpi. J. Walker. Democratic nominee for Mayor. is 44 years old, looks young- er. "is slender. quick and nervous. and likes to stride up and down when making a speech. Ills gestures are theatrical. but his wit is keen and has saved him in many tight situa- tions. Al Smith is his political mentor. And he said recently that everything he knows about politics he learned from the Governor. Walker is a. na- tive New Yorker. and, also like the Governor. he is classed as one of ’l‘ammany's “bright young men." The late Charles F. Murphy is credited with discovering Walker, who did not need much discovering. lie was never one to hide his light under a bushel. His first bid for fame was as a song writer with the ballad. “Will You Love Me in De- cember as You Do in May?" written for a show called “The Duke of Du- luth." The show never reached Broadway. but the song did. it paid its author well in royalties. The present Mrs. Walker, then Janet Allen. was understudy to the star of “The Duke of Duluth." That was how they met. After her mar- riage Mrs. Walker, left the stage. They live at 6 St. Luke's place. Greenwich Village, near the house in which Senator “Walker was born. His Education. James was educated in the public schools and at La Selle Academy. St. Iii-ands Xavier College and New York Law School. Song writing helped to pay his way through law school. His first job was with a subway company that planned to build a tube from Manhattan to Brooklyn. but didn't. Politics came naturally to him and he soon attracted the at- tention of Murphy. His outstanding characteristic then. as now, was his loyalty to the organization. Murphy got him elected to the Assembly in 1909 from the old Fifth district when he was 27. He served five years in the Assembly. then went to the Sen- ate. where he still remains. A Well Dressed Man. Senator Walker prides himself on his clothes. He has been called the “ht-st; dressed man” in the State Legislature. He is partial to pinch. back coats, and likes green with a. fine white stripe. He also favors patent leather shoes. The SenatOr plays golf. but admits he is "pretty rotten." He never reads books. "I don't suppose I have read twelve books from cover to coverin my life,” he says. "I'm sorry. I don't know how it is. Maybe it is because I am too nervous and can't sit still. What I know I have learn- cd through contact with other peo- ple. But I wish I could read books.” Politics “came natural." “lily boyhood was filled with po- litical atmosphere," he said. “My father was an Alderman and served two terms in the Legislature.

C.. Sept. 17. (AP.)-——Belief that "Harding's dying wish for the entrance of the United States into the world court will be gratified." was expressed by Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio. at the un. veiling of the Harding International Good Will Memorial yesterday. "The committee on foreign rela- tions of the United states Senate will. at the forthcoming session of Congress, report in favor of entrance into the world court under the plan proposed by President Harding, Secretary of State Hughes and Pres- ident Coolidge, and the Senate will by a substantial and sufficient ma- jority. ratify this action." lenator Willis said. . NEOON HITS " PROFESSIONAL JURORSINCASE Makes Spirited Objec- tion at Trial of Nor- walk' Dir i v or on “Drunk” Charge \ i BRIDGEPORT. Sept. 17.-'rwo exceptional features marked the trial in the Criminal Court of Com- mon Pleas Tuesday afternoon of Charles E. Merrit. 17 Elm street, Norwnlk. former druggist. who was arrested June 30 in Wesiport on the charge of driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor. Attorney John Keogh counsel for Merritt, invoked tor the first time in the Common Pleas Court the new state statute ostensibly designed ~to blr “professional" Jurymen from trial. panels. Again, Mr. Keogh made a spirited law of his contention that a phy- sician could not testify concerning Merritt‘s condition the night he was arrested because. the defense claim- ed. Mel-1- t had not been warned of his court tutional rights before a physical examination of him had been made‘. It. was held that presentation of medical testimony based on such an examination constituted the analomy of Merritt being forced to testify against himself, physically not ver— bally. without his consent, in that he was not advised that submission of his body to the physician would later be used against him to his detriment in (‘rlminal count. When (be case was called Blato Prosecutor L0lln W. Willis exercised his right to have several talesmen dismissed. Some were from Nor- walk. Merritt's home town. Mr. Keogh expressed his warm disapproval of "challenging on a short panel." a circumstance that shuts out Jurymen culled from other towns and citlts in the county and necessitatcs the hurried emergency summoning of men from Bridgeport. Mr. Keogh remarked on the presence of “the same jurymen time after time." Judge Frederick Huxford studied the crowded court-room for a. time. “I don't see any familiar faces around here," he said. "Well. there's Mr. Dorris," responded ‘Attorney Keogh. “He served ln_the Criminal Superior court on that rape case a little while ago." It was declared by ihe‘courtlthat “substitutes have ever been used in the sheriffs obliged to hunt needed Jurymen in an emergency might be expected to perform their duties fairly, bringing in men unpreludiced made it known he had in mind no objection to the sheriffs. only to tin- "short" panels.
