•ia.

posing the Soviet regime.
Metropolitan Antonin's group

While the outside world is ringing
■with charges that Christianity is be-
ing persecuted by the Bolshevik re-
«ime in Russia speakers at the All-

gelical” aims of the soviet govern-
ment.
Lenin "Dear to Church.”
Premier Lenin was declared to be
dear to the church and prayers were
asked for his recovery. It was
solemnly asserted that there is no per-
secution of religious thought in Rus-
sia. The government was character-
ised as an organization which "though
non-believing is doing good while
many of us. who arc believers are do-
ing wrong.”
Among the speakers was Bishop
Edgar Blake of Chicago bishop of the
American Methodist Episcopal Church
of Southern Euro|»e. He said in gen-
leral. that the church cannot stand
.aside but must follow revolutionary
upheavals and accept every movement
looking toward greater brotherhood.
450 Delegates There.
Four hundred and fifty delegates to
the conclave representing all parts
of Russia held their first business
meeting last night in a building used
|to house government employes. A re-
digioue atmosphere was created by
hanging a picture of Christ on the
curtain of the stage and by placing
[two battered ikons on the wall.
The priest Vedensky head of the
Llelegation representing the Apostolic
S'hurcb; Mctroiaditun Antonin of the
[•■bureh regeneration group nnd other
Lambers said that the church had
KroWn with the past.

firing about an evangelical brotherhood
tn earth.”
I Only One Dissents in Vote.
I Vedensky then offered a resolution
|>f thnnks to the government and of
Ireeting to Premier Lenin. Only one
Joice was heard in dissent.
I Bishop Blake said he is in Russia
Is the result of action by the Metho-
Bist conference in Baltimore.
I "Russia is passing through a great
locial nnd economic experiment” he
Isserted. "For the first time in hu
wan history a great nation is dedica*-
Ing itself to do good for the masses
If humanity and is striving to attain
Everything God-given for man. It is a
ligantie task and such a gigantic task
li unattainable without the help of
Bod.
■ Audience Is Impressed.
■ “I cannot see how the church can
Band aside. I do not say that we
Biould associate ourselves with the
Betbods and means': what concerns
Be is the final aim. You have a
Bia nee to demonstrarc that the church
B Christ always helps to uplift the
Basses.”
B The speech greatly impressed th<’
Bidience. and the deep bass voices of
Be priests sang a hymn wishing him
Bng life and made him an honorary

Girl Win* Marathon
Dish-washing Event
With 31-hour Wash
Punxsutawney Pa.. May 3.—
The marathon dish-washing rec-
ord of the world is claimed today
by Miss Susie Hetlock of the vil-
lage of Covode. near here.
Susie 22. got a job in the
kitchen of the Pantali hotel sev-
eral months ago.
Some one of her friends were
discussing morathon dancing last
Monday and the conversation
eventually centered on the subject
of cleaning the family plate. A
wager was laid and Susie started
on her record-making dish-wash-
ing expedition.
Using the old time method the
discloth. pan. hot water and soap.
Miss Hetlock continued her oper-
ations for 31 hours without n
stop. She won the wager. The
hotel manager rewarded her by
a two-day vacation.
RUM FLEET DEPARTS
AFTER 4-INCH SHELL
IS FIRED AT RUNNER
Booze Flotilla Slinks Away
From Anchorage Dur-
ing Night.
New York. May B.—The flight of
the Jersey rum fleet during the night
is believed to be due to the action of
the coast guard cutter Seneca in send-
ing a four-inch shot across the bow
of a small smuggling craft to bring
her tq a bait.
The Seneca opened fire it was an-
nounced today at c-Kst guard head-
quarters. after two small runners
scouting along between the fleet and
shore had defied a signal to halt.
The Seneca ordered by Washing-
ton to join in the constant patrol
of the fleet mounts heavier guns
than the small cutters and the boom
of the four-inch shell is believed to
have struck fenr in the hearts of the
fleet.
Both runners halted after the shot
had been fired.
Coast guard officers explained that
the regular procedure when a boat is
to be stopped is to signal with the
whistle for her to lay to. If the com-
mand is not obeyed a shot is sent
across her bow.
According to the coast guard sev-
eral of the smaller cutters in the past
have followed this course but the
boom of a heavier gun with rumors
of drastic action against the fleet
ordered by Washington led the fleet
to withdraw hastily with the belief
that it was being fired upon.
The seizure pf supply boats put-
ting out from New York the placing
of a cost guard patrol about the fleet
and the re-inforcement of shore
forces watching for landed rum has
proved too great a handicap for two
of the biggest units of the fleet.

AUTHORS OF ‘K.K.K.’
THREATENING LETTER
ARE NOT DISCOVERED
Officer Has Clue But Ar-
rests Not Yet
Made.
No furtMr developments were re-
ported Thursday by Deputy Sheriff
A. I. Serna who is investigating the
sending of a threatening letter to A.
J. Bailey railroad switchman living
at 218 St. Francis street. This let-
ter. which was signed “K K. K.” with
three X’s in the left hand corner
was received by Bailey on Tuesday
following a visit to his home thu night
before by five men in an automobile
Although Deputy Serna had said
Wednesday that he was working on a
clue which might lend to arrests Wed-
nesday night he said Thursday that
he was still continuing his investiga-
tion and that he expected important
developments during thy day. While
he would not disclose the nature of
his investigation he intimated that he
might have a clue to the origin of
the envelope in which the threatening
lette^ was enclosed. In the event this
clue proves important it is likely
that the federal authorities will be re-
quested to assist in the investigation.
His investigation. Deputy Serna
said disclosed the fact that five men
drove up to Bailey's home shortly aft-
er 10 o'clock Monday night. Two of
them he said remained in (he front
seat of the ear and kept the motor
running. Three of the men went to
the front door two standing aside
while the spokesman knocked. The
latter he said wore large smoked
goggles. Upon being informed that
Bailey hail gone to work the deputy
sheriff said the three men quickly re-
entered their car and drove swiftly
away. It was the next day that Bai-
ley received the letter informing him
that "we have called on you but you
were not at home. Will be after you
soon as we know where you arc.”
Deputy Serna docs not believe that
the letter received by Bailey was writ-
ten by the Ku Klux Klan.
Another man. he said. bn« informed
him that he has reason to believe J lift
harm may be done him and th* dep-
uty sheriff is watching both angles of
the matter.
Since those who may have planned
to harm the two men know that of-
ficers are working on the case how-
ever Deputy Serna does not believe
that any attempt to molest them will
be made.
JAILER IS BITTEN
Woman Puts Up Good Fight With

bitten on the hand. Mrs. Henderson
jail matron narrowly averted being
kicked in the face and station offi-
cers were given a tussle when nn
unidentified white woman was arrest-
ed at 10:45 Thursday morning.

was “wild" seemingly as a result of
having it is claimed by police imbibed
too freely of liquor. She was taken
into custody when residents in the
1000 block Rogers street summoned
the police. She created a demonstra-
tion when token into custody attract-
ed great attention along the dowMown
streets while being conveyed to jail
in the motor patrol by her continued
yells and then fought the officers st
headquarters and the guards in the
city jail when they sought to place

number of station officers and jail
guards. »

Reprisals Planned
by French Against
U. S. Liquor Ruling
By the Associated Frees.
Paris May 3.—The merchant
marine ministry is dehing inta
old laws which might form the
basis of a campaign of reprisal
against American ships as one
mode of replying to the United
States Supreme Court's decision
with regard to liquor being il-
l*al on all vessels witbin th* ter-
ritorial waters of the Uiitcd
States.
At the ministry it was suggest-
ed that the French law. requiring
meat coming within territory to
be inspected by veterinarians
might be applied to meat aboard
nil American ships entering
French waters.
Another law which it is said
could be brought in force was thn’
dealing with the method of con
struction of vessels. The enforce
ment of this would compel Amer-
ican vessels to obey the same laws
as French ship®.
It was pointed out that if some
dozens of other such laws were
applied no American ships could
possibly touch at French ports.
TUYTOCRIWL
INTO OFFICE
AFTER DEFEAT
Indications Are Beaten
Candidates Change Their
Attitude.
NAMES ON BALLOTS
Tobin Headquarters Re-
jects All Sgguestions
for Compromise.
Evidence is cumulating that the
candidates on the Citizen's ticket
who were so disastrously beaten in
the primary are trying to crawl inio
office at the general election.
They have by their attitude repu-
diated their iiublie statement isaui l
shortly after the primary to the ef-
fect that they would abandon the con
test and would make no fight in
the election on May 8.
Word has been brought to the
headquarters of the'Peoples' Party
to the effect that statements had beer
made implying that there might be
no contest if some arrangement to
provide for an alleged deficit of
in the campaign expenses of the Citi-
zens’ Ticket could be made.
Despite the statement of the candi-
dates on the Citizens' Ticket sup-
Sorters of the Citizens' Ticket have
een quietly working every since the
primary and their efforts have not
been publicly discouraged or dis
avowed by the men who declared
that they were no longer in the con-
test.
Thcr-’. has not bc*n day since th*
piimary when the candidates on tha
Citizens Ticket could not have for-
mally withdrawn their names.
No Advice From “Meeting."
Word wag sent to the Tobin head-
quarters on Tuesday that a meeting
would be held Tuesday afternoon at
which the Citizen's Ticket would for-
mally withdraw from the race. If
the meeting was held no such action
was taken. <
Word was sent to the Tobin head
quarters that the action scheduled
for Tuesday would be taken on Thurs-
day. Up to a late hour on Thurs-
day no word from this second “meet-
ing” had been received.
Final announcement that the
names of both sets of candidates will
appear on the ballot was made by
Assistant City Clerk James Simpson
Thursday morning when he said that
he had received instructions to send
the ballot to the printer in that form.
Unless an unexpected order is re-
ceived before the ballots get ou the
press he said they will stand ap-
proved.
Further assurance that these
names will go on the ballot was fur-
nished by Commissioner Phil " right
Thursday when he stated he had
learned that a resolution rescind-
ing one adopted by tbc commission
last week will be offered at Thurs-
day. afternoon's meeting. The origin-
al resolution provided that in view
of th* fact that the candidates on the
Citizen's Ticket had publicly an-
nounced their withdrawal that their
names be left off the ballot. The
resolution to be offered Thursday mil ।
provide that the names of both sets
of candidates appear on the ballot.
Their campaign manager on XI ed-
nesday had stated that these names
probably would be left on the ballot
inasmuch as supporters of the ticket
had insisted that this be done. The
manager stated at the same time how-
ever. that no active campaign would
be waged.
Despite this statement reports have
come to Tobin headquarters that sup-
l>orters of the Citizens' Ticket have
been working quietly ever since the
primary. Reports Thursday were to
the effect that this work is still going
on and that a house to house can-
vass is being made in several pre-
cincts throughout the city.
Sheriff Tobin speaking for the other
candidates. declared that hr would not
for a moment consider an offer to
pay anything to anybody.
Get Ready To light.
“Why should we?” Sheriff Tobin
naked. " ”We won by a decisive ma-
jority in the primary election show-
ing clearly that we arc the choice of

opponents publicly stated that they
would not run that there would be
no necessity for a further active cam-
paign or for a big election. Resizing
the financial status of th* city we

sible. But if they want a fight we

FRENCH CABINET
TURNS DOWN NEW
GERMAN PROPOSAL
Poincare to Consult With
Belgium on Formal
Reply.
Bv the Axvelsted Press.
Paris. May^.—The French cabinet
today unanimously rejected the new
German reparation proposals.
Premier Poincare will consult with
the Belgian government Os to the re-
ply to Germany and as soon as it
is ready it will be communicated to
all the allies.
Ixmdon. May 3. —The Times in an
editorial characterizes the German
note as stupidly worded giving only
the vaguest guarantees and so clum-
sily presented as to irritate every
French suspectibility.
The Times contends that the sum
the note proposes to pay is not wholly
out of relation with the total Pre-
iiier Hqnar' law suggested at Paris
in JAimary. and that the intention of
the note is to bring the allies with
Germany to the conference table on
equal terms while Frsmtc's immediate
purpose is that Germany should capi-
tulate.
The Daily Hail says: “For sheer
effrontery it would b* hard to inatej
the note; it is a typical hunnish
production and the French will not
be caught in such a trap as this.
“In judging this insolent offer it
must bd remembered that Germany is
spending vast sums which ought to
go to the allies on armaments and
public works while whining out pro-
tests about her poverty.”
The Post says: “It has not even
the merit of novelty; it is a mass of
stale rej<>cted ingredients an un-
wholesome dish.”

to
GET OUT AND VOTE
