Page Ordered To Give Grand Jury Cannon's Report
The District of Columbia supreme court ordered William Tyler Page to produce before a grand jury the original campaign fund reports of Bishop James Cannon Jr. Page agreed to comply, arguing house rules prevented delivery. Justice Proctor ruled that the reports fall within an exception in the 1879 house rule and are public records under the corrupt practices act. The clerk attended with Ada Burroughs certificates and senate copies, but the justice said certificates lack legal sufficiency without an express act.
