Mahnc* Plan Deadly
To Church Liberty
.-eader Says
BELfAST Northern Ireland Jan.
21.—</P>~The Protestant rhurch of
Ireland will have nothing to do with
negotiations of the Malines type the '
®°** Charles F. D’Arcy primate j
Ireland says in a letter printed in
the Irish papers today.
"I am also confident the people of
England will recognize that the An-
glican representatives at Malines'
were ready to give away those lib- }
erties which men of the British race
prize more deeply than life itself”
the letter said. “If history has any I
lesson to teach it surely is that the
people of Er gland while very toler- !
ant and slow to move will never sur-
render their freedom and bend their !
necks beneath a spiritual despotism.
“It is startingly clear that the suc-
cessful outcome of the Malines move-
ment would destroy the Protestant |
character of the church of F.ngland. j
It would also completely alter the
position of all churches in connection i
with that church. Such churhes are
apeially mentioned in the report and
are within its punriaw.
“The Malines movement is therefore
no mere domestic affair of the
Church of England.”

DARWEN Lancashire Eng.. Jan. |
23.——Publication of the Malines
conversations intended to bring
about reunion of the Anglican and !
Catholic churches was followed by a
mass demonstration against the re-
puted Anglo-Catholicism of a vicar i
here. Mild protests had occurred on
previous Sundays against the Rev.
F. B. Lauria in St. Cuthbert’s church j
after the rejection of the prayer j
hook.
The demonstration yesterday re-
sulted in the Mr. Lauria leaving the
church under police protection while I
n thousand persons followed him and
booed him.
By persistently singing hymns and
preventing the progress of the serv-
ice 400 parishioners protested
against the "sung Eucharist.”

Rear Admiral Charles T Plunkett
commandajtt of the Brooklyn navj
yard to w'lich he was quoted as pre-
dicting '»ar between the United
States and its commercial competi- |
tors are prominently displayed in
today’s newspapers.
The Star gave it a first page
streamer headline as a “sensational
speech by American admiral” while
the News editorially says. “These
straws show the way the wind blows
and the views of a rer.r admiral of I
the American navy may indicate the
direction in which the thoughts of
a section of the American people is
turning.”

NEW YORK.—The modern woman
hits when she throws. Mrs. Alice
Billings houseal in her childhood at
Macon Ga. often hurled stones when
playing with her brothers. An in-
truder in her apartment here was so
bunged up from two cigarette boxes
weighing two pounds eaih a Chinese
brass ornament and a bronze match-
| holder that be told the police he was
; glad to be arrested. He held up his
hands when Mrs. Houseal had a
Persian vase weighing ten pounds
ready to heave. A man entered Mrs.
Sarah Rosenberg's grocery in Brook-
lyn and ordered two cans of peas. As
she was getting them he pointed a
pistol and demanded all the cash.
Mrs. Rosenberg gave him the peas
right in the face and yelled. When I
the police appeared he was still try- 1
ing in vain to dodge groceries.
PHILADELPHIA—Maude Royden!
who is impressed by the revelation i
of God contained in modern science I
would have the Bible rewritten scion- j
tifically. As an example Christ
would have said to Adam and Eve: i
“This tree bears poisonous fruit; if j
you eat of it you will be sick.”
LOS ANGELES—This should indi-
cate that a parachute is more reli-
- able than a stopwatch. John Tranum
dropped out of a plane 7500 feet up!
hoping to break the record for dis-
tance covered before the opening of a
‘chute*. He says his watch stuck pre-
venting calculations. The ’chute*
functioned.
PHILADELPHIA — Molasses will
quell turbulent seas if there’s enough
of it. The steamship Dora ran into
a big storm coming from Havana j
The waves subsided when deluged
with 70000 gallons of the cargo.
NEW YORK—There is no hell in ;
1 the belief of Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson j
I Fosdick Baptist. “Hew can we
imagine God putting men into a hope- J
less senseless meaningless pit from
| which no good can ever come?" There j
is a Hell. Rev. John J. Hickey Roman |
Catholic told his congregation. “He j
unwillingly commits to eternal aban-
donment those who wilfully depart
| from His laws and will not repent.” j
MIAMI—Gene dislikes all the stuff ;
about Dempsey being popular be-
j cause he exemplifies the killer in-!
i stinct. Mr. Tunney told some admir- !
ers at a dinner that on that basis !
the leading gunman should be the
I heavyweight champion.

$3990000 in debt but continued his
newspaper work in an effort to win
back his wealth.

week to look after their 60-acre cit-
rus fruit grove which is develoning

NEW SPEAKER’
HEARD/ i
Device Intended For
Public Addr esses
Proves Success
NEW YORK Jan. 23.—</P>— New
; possibilities lor outdoor audiences
were in prospect today.
A scientific echo consisting of an
ordinary telephone and loudspeaker
«nrew a human voic« one mn«
across the Hudson r.ver in an ex-
oeriment by engineers rf the Bell
i Telephone laboratories.
The demonstration w« designed to
1 prove that the newly developed loud-
I speaker would enable 1000000 per-
| sons in an area up to a mile away
j to hear public addresses or other
reproductions of sound.
In a test of the device R. W. King
engineer in charge of the demon-
j Htration stood with * oarty on a
I bluff in Hoboken on the New Jersey
i shore and spoke into a telephone in-
! strument connected with the loud
I speaker which was on top of the !
j Bell laboratories building a mile
away in lower Manhattan.
‘ Hello Schwartz can you hear
■ me?" he said quietly.
Five seconds elapsea- Then j
booming across the river the little
party heard the voice returned:
"Hello Schwartz can you bear me?”
Turning to the group King laugh-
ed triumphantly. In five seconds
enormously magnified a hearty "ha!
ha! ha!” returned across the river
from the loud speaker.
“Hello ferry boat signal if you
j hear us” called King and the re-
i quest was repeated from the loud-
| speaker. There v.as a toot from one
i of the river boats.
As a finishing touch to the dem-
! onstration. King’s wife from their
i Short Hills N. J. home sang into
a telephone. "Believe Me If All
i Those Endearing Young Charms”
I ar.d the group on the bluff listened
! to the song as it was repeated from
j the Manhattan roof. A phonograph
| playing “Poet and Peasant” pro-
| duccd equally good results.
The loud speaker King said it
! not a new devic* but combines ?*!
i a single instrument most of the im-
portant discoveries and inventions j
j in the field up to the present. It
I is of the horn type.

The Markets
STOCK CHATTER
NEW YORK Jan. 23.—</P)—Prices
were firm at the opening of the stock
market today. Christie Brown had
an over the week-end rise of more
than 3 points to a new high record
and Brooklyn Edison opened up 1 3-4.
Firmness attended the opening of
some of the leading industrials in-
cluding General Motors. General
Railway Signal* waa neavy at the
outset.
Reports of high earnings in 192.
in the retail field resulted in brisk
buying of Wool worth Abraham and
Straus and other like issues in the
first half hour. Public Utilities dis-
played early buoyancy especially
Montana Power which rose more than
a point to a new high. Commercial
solvents quickly gained 4 points and
there was good demand for some of
the independent steel stocks. Rails
were rather quiet in the early hour
aside from a 2 point advance by
‘Nickel Plate" and half as much in
Norfolk & Western. American to-
bacco was the only conspicuous weak
spot in the early transactions.
Spanish pesetas opened off 9 points
around 17.U5 cents but other foreign
exchanges were virtually unchanged
sterling cables ruling close to $4.87
3-8.
NEW YORK Jan. 23.—<JP»—The
cotton market opened easy at a de-
cline of 10 to 29 points. Active
months soon sold 20 to ? 1 points
down due to easier spot situation
relatively easy Liverpool cables and
rather larger ginning figures than
expected.
The decline carried March off to
18-28 and May to 18.37 but there ap-
peared to be some old trade orders
in the market for foreign account
at these figures. Active covering
checked the decline and caused ral-
lies of 7 or 8 points from the low-
est by the end of the first hour.
The volume of business tapered
off on rallies of about 10 points
from the early low prices and the
market sagged back again active
months at nndda showing net de-
clines of aboql « to 29 points.
Some local statist cians interpreted
the ginning figures as pointir to a
crop about 100000 bales above the
government estimate of last Decem-
ber which of course would be a
very small difference.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS Jan. 23.—<£>>—
The census bureau’s total ginnings to
January 16 of 12502845 bales was
slightly larger than expected and the
cotton market eased off nearly $2 a
bale in early trading today.
The larger ginnings and pool Liver-
pool cables were responsible for an
opening loss of 21 to 3? points and
the market continued to ease off af-
ter the start on prospects for rain in
the West. March sold off to 18.11.
May 18.05 and July 17.85 32 to 34
points net down.
The decline attracted some trade
buying and at the end of the first
half hour had recovered 8 to 14
points of the loss.
The market weakened again later
in the morning on selling induced by
rather bearish sentiment amorg ring
traders and prospects for rain in the
western belt. All months made new
lows with March at 18.02 May 17.97
and July 17.80 37 to 43 points be-
low Saturday's close.
Near noon there was a flurry of
buying on reports of the rapid
spread of the tick boll worm tn
some Texas counties end the mar-
ket recovered a few points of tftc
loss.
CHICAGO GRAIN
CHICAGO. Jan. 23.—(A*)—Wheat
prices tended downward here early
today influenced by declines at
Liverpool and by predictions of srow
or rain over domestic wheat terri-
tory. Favorable weather led also to
selling of corn.
Opening unchanged to 3-8c off
Chicago wheat subsequently under-
went some further sag. Corn start-
ed a 1-Sc to 5-8c off and later held
near to the initial range. Oats were
easy. Provisions held steady.

Metallic Clank Is
Paris Fashion Fad
PARIS (A*)—Many well dressed
Parisians consider a metallic clank
and tinkle an important factor in
their style success.
Gestures are back in fashion since
women took to wearing quantities
of bracelets which jingle every time
they move their hands. Even the
new scarfs are trimmed with hun-
dreds of pieces of round or square
metal sequins that give out a little
tinkle with every movement.
Now a designer of shoes is put-
ting fringes of metal mesh on the
toes of dancing slippers. They make
a metallic swish with every step.

RAIL AGENTS
GO TO CORPUS
160 Here on Sunday
Abandon Journey
Into Mexico
Inclement weather Sunday inter-
fered considerably with the plans of
the delegation of ticket freight
and passenger agents from various
parts of Texas here for a one-day
visit and caused abandonment of
plans for a journey into Mexico.
The group approximately 160 j
strong a side trip from the state
convention at Houston reached
Brownsville at 2:30 p. m. over the
S. P. lines and immediately divided
for a short tour to the various
points of interest in this vicinity.
Rain and general unpleasant
weather conditions cut the program
to a minimum and the party came
here by rail rather than by auto
from McAllen as had been the orig- j
inal plan.
The same condition caused aban- j
donment of the plan for a journey 1
into Mexico for a one-day stay in
Monterrey from which they would j
have returned by way of Laredo.
Monday morning the group was on
its way to Corpus Christi for a se-
ries of entertainments there during
the evening and from that place
they will return to Houston before
breaking up.
While here the agents were en-
tertained by local representatives of
I the craft including M. L. Love of
I the Southern Pacific; Leo Wald-
schmidt and W. R. Keikel of the
Missouri Pacific lines.
The entertainment included a din-
ner at the cafe of Mrs. Emma Leon-
ard in Matamoros Sunday evening
j The party left at 3 a. m. Monday
for the run to Corpus Christi.
The trip is being made in a spe-
cial train and the agents came here
j to obtain at first hand some of the
information concerning the Valley
I for which they are so frequently
j naked during the course of their
work.
The following Southern Pacific
representatives accompanied the
party here: J. F. Sullivan general
! passenger agent Houston; Wills J.
Carter assistant general freight and
] passenger agent Harlingen; W. W.
Sloan terminal train master. Bay-
town: E. C. McGuffin traveling
