A FIERY PRIEST
BANK METHODS DENOUNCED WASTE OF PEOPLE'S MONEY. VANCOUVER, August 23. Curiously enough two Canadian-born citizens of the United States have been " star" performers at the grand jury's investigation into Detroit banking. Yesterday it was Senator Cauzens; to-day it was the Rev. Charles Coughlan, the Catholic priest who last year drew the cardinal's attention to himself by radical radio addresses. It was wholesale dissipation of the people's money that occurred there, declared Father Coughlan in a fiery denunciation of ex-President Hoover. His testimony ranged from specific charges against certain bankers to an impassioned harangue against the traducers of President Roosevelt, who, he declared, " has far more courage than 90 per cent, of priests in this country." " Hoover tried to cure this damnablo depression by pouring in gold at the ■top while people started at the bottom," cried Father Coughlan, ■ pounding the table with his fists.
