MASSES IN
CHURCHES
Dissensions and Lack of
Interest of People
Are Blamed.
•
By the Associated Press.
LENINGRAD July 17.—Although
the Soviet government allows the
population full religious liberty re-
cent dissensions within the Russian
Othodox church and Communist anti-
religious propaganda have forced ad-
ditional churches in Russia to sus-
pend services.
Following the example of the Ca-
thedral of St. Isaac which closed its
doors recently the famous cathedral
of Kazan on the Nevsky Prospekt
containing the miracle working vir-
gin of Kazan and the body of Field
Marshal Kutusov who defeated Na-
poleon in 1812 probably will soon
celebrate mass for the last time and
become an art museum.
The Sunday congregations have
been so small and the receipts so
meager that the cathedral managers
have found it impossible to meet ex-
penses. The historical museum of
Leningrad has offered to take over
the magnificent edifice which is pat-
terned after St. Peter's of Rome and
convert it into a public museum and
art gallery.
With its 136 Corinthian columns
of marble the great golden dome and
colossal statues of the saints the Ka-
zan cathedral is one of the _ most
imposing in all Russia. Built in the
form of a great cross the cathedral
is 236 feet long and 180 feet wide.
Its magnificent paintings splendid
interior and balustrade of solid silver
weighing 3600 pounds have a priceless
value. On the walls are 103 ban-
ners and other trophies captured from
Napoleon. Among its treasures are
23 keys to cities wrested from. Na-
poleon including Hamburg Leipsic
Rheims and Dresden.

BEING NOMINEE
‘TOUGH’ SAYS
SAVIS
LOCUST VALLEY N. Y„ July 17.
On what is probably the greatest ad-
venture that can come into the life
of any American John W. Davis to
use his own words has discovered that
the life of a presidential candidate
is not a bed of roses.
Mr. Davis announced his policy last
night during a speech here after a
non-political reception by his neigh-
bors of the Locust Valley section of
Oyster Bay which was much like the
ovations that another man of the'
neighborhood Theodore Roosevelt
used to receive.
LETTERS CAUSE LAUGHTER.
The Democratic nominee caused
laughter when he related the con-
tents of two letters he hnd received
since his nomination. One of them
was from a Methodist and a prohibi-
tionist who will never vote for Sny
man who had been president of a
bar association. The other writer
was sorry to hear the nominee had
been sued for breach of promise.
Turning to more serious subjects
Mr. Davis said:
“I have set out on what is prob-
ably the greatest adventure that can
come into the life of any American.
It is a grand thing to realize that
in a country where two political
parties are essential we can pick
sides fight our battles and when it
is all over join shoulder to shoulder
again. This is the greatest indication
I know of the popular government
on which this country is founded. We
have proven that there is no danger
to human liberty.
PEOPLE MAKE COUNTRY.
“I believe that all free government
comes from the people and not from
any source downward. The country
is what the mass of people make it."
Announcement of the choice of a
chairman of the Democratic national
committee is expected today. It Is re-
ported that the selection has been
made. The choice one report says
is Clem L. Shaver of West Virginia.
A tentative plan of campaign organ-
ization calls for the establishment of
headquarters at Washington with out-
posts in New York Chicago San
Francisco and other stragctic cen-
ters.
DRY LAW REJECTED
BY CANADIAN STATE
REGINA. Sask.. July 17— Voter-
of Saskatchewan repudiated a tem-
perance act of four years standing in
a plebiscite by a majority that ap-
proached a landslide it was indicated
today as further compilation of the
vote was made.
The act was condemned both by citv
and country with four of the lending
cities rejecting the act by almost
10.000 majority.
Asking for a devisive expression of
opinion through the plebiscite the gov-
ernment intimated no change in the
present temperance act would bo
given until such a decision was made.
The present vote leaves no doubt that
the changes arc greatly desired.
A vote in favor of prohibition of
36.585. and of 53657 against was re-
ported from S3O polls out of 2581
with indications of an increase against
the dry act as votes continued to
dribble in.
