PASTOR GIVES RALLYING CRY FOR CHURCHES Cause of Human Brotherhood Championed in Interchurch Movement. PASTORS’ POOR PAY UP Pleading for working conditions in Boeiety that will establish human brotherhood, Dr. A. M. Crouch. New York City, yesterday addressed the preachers and laymen of the Indiana conference of the Interchurch World Movement fn Tomlinson hall, the second day of the Hoosier gathering. “Can we expect religious development to come from the squalor and filth and miserable conditions of our Pennsylvania mining towns? No,” thundered Dr. Crouch. “Does not the Interchurch world movement go on record here, standing for the principle of sy decent workday of eight hours, decent living conditions, a chance for the workers to develop Individually ?" asked the speaker, and as he asserted a belief that such working conditions should be brought about, there came a deafening round of applause from the delegates. TOMLINSON HALL PACKED TO GALLERIES. Tomlinson hall was packed to the galleries. Delegates were seated on the main floor according to county representation. Dr. Frederick W. Burtman. president of the United Christian Missionary society, presided. “We have today not slavery in the industrial world, that is. not slavery as we did know it in this country," said Dr. Crouch, “but we have a basis for ■what might be termed ‘compulsory service in industry.’ One of our greatest men in sociology has said. ‘Society’s dirt work must be done, but he who does it should be well paid.’ We are, in many cases, making semi-machines of these underpaid workmen. Shall we endure labor for the few or for the collective good? I say for the many, and not the few. “Human brotherhood must be the rock of foundation of industry. Those who control industry must be willing to meet the workman half way, or they will bring down upon themselves calamity. Workers n.'.st have a fairer .nance. Until better working conditions are brought about in the world, we are building trouble for the future. Take from others what you reserve for yourself, men, and you are negating democracy. I believe the voice cf God is raised and speaking to us In these days of Industrial relationship." Dr. Crouch spoke on the subject, “Industrial Relationship." URGES MORE PAY FOR MINISTERS. Rev. S. K. Arbuthnot of Buckbannon, W. Ya.. of the department of ministerial relief, startled the session with some facts concerning the financial support of ministers. “Preachers are not strikers and brawlers.” he asserted, “but their w ages should be in proportion to other workmen. Not four ministers in one thousand ever received 55.000 a year, and they have not one chance in 500 the opportunity the lawyer has to earn the same money, not one chance in 500 to parallel the pay of the physician. And of the ITO.doO Protestant ministers in the country oniy I.67l—less than 1 per cent—come within the $3,060 income tax limit. “In these days when a dollar is worth 35 cents in purchasing power, not onehalf at the ministers of the 170,000 are receiving more than S7OO annually. Think of that! Let us in this big world program not forget that old minister, grayhaired and feeble, who has served the Lord, and is entitled to more substantial support for the good work fie did." M. A. Honline, Dayton, 0., professor of religious education In Bonebrake Theological seminary, spoke on "Religous Education."

“Tbe agencies that exist to do moral repair work ran not be compared !:l importance with those other agencies that exist to make moral repair work unnecessary," declared Dr. Honilne. “Tbe church of the future.” he also s£ld, “will concern Itself with social maladjustments and Industrial wrongs, a* the church of the past concerned Itself with Individual vice. And If education Is to be truly good and socially useful It must be fundamentally religious. The church of tomorrow will stress service rather than doctrine, for men who are accustomed' to serious thinking are beginning to say that a religious doctrine that not modify social relations is bordering on the ragged edge of the isonessential.” W. G. Cllppinger, volunteer director of college survey In Ohio, member of the executive committee of the International Sunday School association, spoke at the morning session on the subject, “American Education," pointing out the need of religion In Americanism. Dr. Frank D. Rines, Baltimore, Md., field representative known aa the “Centenary Cartoonist,” spoke on the statistical features of the Interchurch world movement. ASSEMBLE BY fcOVNTY CROIP9. Representatives to the conference were asked to assemble by county groups at the morning session aud appoint department heads for missionary education, stewardship, spiritual resource, life service and publicity work. Mrs. Edward Ilirsch of Anderson, Ind„ who for fourteen year* labored in African missionary fields, spoke at the women’s meeting at the Y. W. C. A. auditorium. Dr. W. E. Doughty of New York City, director of spiritual resources of the Interchurch World .Movement, spoke in the afternoon, thrilling the ministers with the need of spiritual development of the world under the movement program. Rev. E. C. Rapp, New York City, national director of the department of stewajdship, who spoke in the morning on "Interchurch Literature,” in the afternoon delivered an address cn "Stewardship.” C ITES WOMEN’S GREAT POWER. Mrs. William Fraser McDowell spoke i> the afternoon in Tomlinson hall on the work of women in the movement. 'She emphasized the vital power women play In the home, church and social work. Sherwood Eddy, missionarv, in a stirring address last night, pointed out that if America failed to measure up in the world-wide program for educational and religious uplift moral delinquency would cloud the world. “This is the greatest movement in four centuries of world history,” said Mr. Eddy, “and it is potentially significant, challenging the co-operative strength of the -.world’s Christian forces. Can we here in America regard this work indifferently, while the world is struggling in darkness and misery? Let us reflect that God sees the suffering of the world, and at the s. me time looks upon the materialism and self-indulgence here.” , Mr. Eddy declared he was more alarmed for America than for China and India. MIST ANSWER WORLD’S APPEALS. / “The world looks to us as the only country that can carry on the major part of the program, for we are the richest country in the world,” be said, "and through co-operation we must answer the" appeals.” S. Earl Taylor, general secretary of the Inter-church World Movement, delivered the keynote address of the session at Tomlinson hall yesterday atfernoon. In a survey -of the missionary lfield be said thousands of people were

Bishop, state superintendent of survey work for Indiana. “I believe in the Interchurch l\orld Movement,” said Bishop Nicholson, ‘ because the needs of the world at home and abroad are appalling. Whether we consider the matter from the point of view of governmental, social or religious necessity, it becomes plain that the program of Jesus Christ is the hope of the hour. The task is too great for the resources of any one denomination. Solidarity of effort, economy of administration, ability to compass the whole task all center in co-operative plans. Then this is the day of large plana and of community movements. Only ly such. a largo plan, a worth while movement, such as the Interchurch World Movement, can we hope to engage the attention and enlist the co-operation of men of the largest influence and- power.” CONFERENCES ‘ TO FOLLOW SUFFERS.

3 DROWNED, ONE TRYING TO SAVE 2 OTHERS John Sullivan, Driver of Truck, Dies in Fall Creek, Seeking to Aid Boys. DEATH STUNS MOTHER John Sullivan. 434 Kauffman place, driver for the Patton Transfer Company, sacrificed his life yesterday In a vain effort to save two small colored boys from drowning. Charley King. 8 years old, and John Herbert King, 6 years old, brothers, are the boys who were drown. Their companion, Verna, 10 years old, escaped. The three boys had started across the ice oil Fall creek, one block east of Northwestern avenue, at a point where the water is twelvevto twenty five feet deep. The two brothers fell in the water, and the Purcell boy ran to the shore, screaming. Sullivan, who was passing in a motor truck, heard the cries for help. He rushed to the creek bank, carrying a long rope from the truck. He started out on the ice, with the .rope in his hands. When he was about sixty feet out on the lee the ice gave way and he sank out of sight. All three bodies were recovered after searchers had worked for an hour with boats and hooks. DEAD HERO HAD CHILD OF HIS OWN. Sullivan, who is about 35 years old. had ! been employed by the Patton company for Just a week, according to H. M. Pat--1 ton, his employer. “He was a fine bov.” said Mr. Patton, "and it is not surprising to me that he made the heroic effort to save the little boys. “He has a small child himself. His wife is dead and be lives with bis mother and father. He had lived in Indianapolis most of his life and always has been a straight-forward, bard-workiug boy." Employes of the Harris Transfer Com pany, where he worked before going to ! the I’atton company, also declared that be was “a fine fellow." Verna Purcell was panic stricken when his two companions were plunged Into the water. With them he had left school No. 23, and they were playing about the creek before they started across. The tee in the middle of the creek is but an inch thick. Dredging for aand and the <lara near this point made the place one of the deepest holes In Fall creek. DOG SWIMS NEAR DROWNING BOVS. WJien Verna ran from the scene, however, a big black dog, which was the boon companion of the little colored boys, j plunged into the water and swam about the two little fellow*, who were clinging to the ice. splashing and barking. •T J. Marlow, 1230 West Thirtieth street, was the first to see the boys In the water. He set tip a cry. which attracted Sullivan and his companion on the truck. Elbert DeShn, 121 North New Jersey, employed by the Norman Furniture Company. the truck, owned by Patten, hauling furniture for this store When Sulllvcn sank out o t sight he i dropped so quickly that the others on shore could not rescue him. An Immediate effort was begun to rescue the bodies. <;. C. Weis went to a nearby place and obtained a long rod with a ; hook on It. Frank Mix, 1003 Elm street, and Joe Drake, 1716 North Alabama 1 str<-et, procured a Aatboat from the opposite aide of the creek. They „ pushed the boat out Into the river, breaking through the thin Ice, and began dragging th" hook In the rreek. The hook first caught in the clothes of . the younger colored boy, Herbert, and his body was pulled out. A few minutes later the hook caught on the rope, which ! Sullivan had carried In his hand. His body, too. wa* dragged up. The body : of the third victim, Kansal Purcell, was not found until Motor Police Officers Drtnkut snd Dean dragged the creek bottom with a grappling hook. DEAD MAN’S HAND GRIPS ROPE. Sullivan’s right hand was clenched tightly about the rope with which he . hoped to rescue the two boys. It was j with difficulty that ills death grip on the rope wns loosened. Verna, the boy who escaped drown Ing, was frantic. Colored people In the neighborhood who took him Into their home were forced to hold him In their ! arms to quiet him. The big black dog, which vainly sought to help the hoys, lay on the bank of the | creek, exhausted from the struggle with tbo ley waters, and moaned. Time and again the dog ran out to the edge of the i Ice, sank, climbed ytit and Jumped In again. The boys at first were said to he brothers of Verna Purcell, but later were Identified bv Mrs. J. It.

The couple live at 626 North Senate avenue, z : when she saw a stranger at the door.

LEMAUX VIEWS REBUILT CARS They Have Long Side Seats and 48 Straps Apiece. President George Lemaux of the board of works passed inspection on the rebuilt street cars being provided by the street car company yesterday. One of the cars was stationed on Alabama street, near the city hall, for public inspection. Other members of the board had been invited to look it over. Lemaux went over the car with President Henry Jameson of the street car I company and others. Tie apparently was not much impressed with the long seats, but asserted the plan warranted a tryout. He gave the fortyeight white handled straps some attention. Dr. Jameson said the reason for asking the board to look over the rebuilt car was to determine if, in thc’.r judgment; they ujet the requirements of the people. "We Want to lie compliant,” he said. “Tt. is Vur purpose to try to meet the wishes df the street car riding public.” Dr. Jameson said about thirty or forty more cars would be rebuilt and converted to ail-season use if the board deems it advisable. Five of > the rebuilt cars have readied* tbe eity*in the last few days and there aie five more ou the way, he asserte I. The rebuilt cars are what are known a* type 60” cars.

Peril Man Running for State Auditor Charles R. Hughes, Peru, yesterday- aivy bounced his candidacy for the democratic nomination for auditor of state. Mr. Hughes was formerly a member of the state Industrial board and Is now engaged in the banking business. He was born in Indianapolis. He was at one time a railroad fireman and later an engineer. He is still a member of the Brotherhood of Engineers. He was at one time clerk of the Miami county clerk's office, where he served two years. Mr. Hughes is the first democrat to announce his candidacy for auditor. SAYS CLOTHING DROP UNLIKELY Pants Maker Holds Manu> facturing Costs Too High. “Clothing costs can not come down until manufacturing costs are cut,” C. V. Rosenbaum, a pants manufacturer, yesterday told delegates to the Indiana Retail Clothiers and Furnishers association. Mr. Rosenbaum was answering Stanley Wyckoff, who had previously told the convention that by reason of a decline in the raw materials markets of the world, the manufacturing costs also should drop. ‘ Mr. Rosenbaum said that with the labor In the clothing Industries working only forty-four hours a week and with every material going into the construction of a garment costing more than It ever did. he could not see where or how Mr. Wyckoff arrived at his deduction that | costs were going to drop. | Mr. Wyckoff qualified by saying that : he did not expect any radical drop, but ; advised the clothier* to buy with eautton iso that in event a deeline did materialize they would not be caught with a large etook on hand. The concensus of opinion as expressed by the delegates was that eventually prices would get back to a normal level. ! The only drawback was an estimate as [ to when that time would come.
