RELIGION STAFF OF DEMOCRACY, SAYSJOOLIDGE Nation’s Welfare involved With Belief, President Tells Clergy. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—Laxity in the nation’s religious convictions will induce the forfeiture of the guaranties which have been erected for the protection of life and liberty, President Coolidge told the general convention of the Episcopal Church in session here today. “We can not remind ourselves too often that our right to be free,” the President said, “the support of our principles of justice, our obligations to each other in our domestic affairs, and our duty to humanity abroad, the confidence in each other necessary to support our social and economic relations, and finally the fabric of our Government itself, al lrest on reliigon. “Its importance can not be stressed too often or emphasized too much.” Perfect Moral Progress At another point, the President said: “The greatest service that we possibly can perform for the world is to perfect our own moral progress.” If that is done, the chief executive pointed out, there need be no fear of the helpful influence the nation can furnish the world. “We are not seeking an increased material welfare that leads to materialism: we are seeking an increased devotion to duty that leads to spiritual life. Such an effort would be in vain, unless our nation as a whole continued in its devotion to religion.” The President cautioned against a • self-satisfying smugness because of the progress already made in spiritual advancement. There was no reason to fail “to comprehend the enormous work that yet remains to be performed and the long distance J;hat must still be traveled before the goal of human perfection is reached.” A warning against “intrusion of politics and economics in the pul- ' pits and on the platforms of the church” was uttered by the Rt. Rev. Charles Palmerston Anderson, bishop of Chicago, in his sermon opening the forty-ninth triennial general convention. Urges Religious Liberty Bishop Anderson made an impassioned plea for religious liberty, hailing the achievements of science as “the crowning glory of the twentieth century,” He sharply rebuked secularism and intolerance with the scorniul question: “Are men to be compelled by law to teach their children a special brand of religion?” In his closing passages he severely tcok his own church to task for not meeting the “vital problems of the age.” The convention sermon, a triennial event in the Anglican communion, marked the beginning of a fortnight’s session of the supreme body of the Episcopal Church in the United States. In the audience at, the National Cathedral at Mt. St. Alban were 125 bishops of the church from all parts of the world, 800 clerical and lay deputies and 500 delegates from the Woman’s Auxiliary, together with an audience of several thousand church members and visitors.

Building the Evansville bridge over the Ohio-River on State Rd. 41, is approved by the Hoosier Motor Club, but they do not want Indiana to pay half the expense out of the highway funds. Better to have private capital finance the project and collect tolls, club officials contend. That is the position of the club outlined today by President Duane Dungan in defending the injunction suit filed in Marion County Superior Court to prevent erection of the bridge under the present contract. BOY CATCHES THIEF Recovers Stolen Bicycle; Takes Lad, 9, to Police Station. Russell Peacock, 14, of 1833 Lexington Ave., catches his own thieves.

A few minutes later he arrived at headquarters with the boy and bicycle. The boy thief was taken to the detention home.

LEO TRAUGOTT BEFORE 3URY Brother of Store Owner Is Asked About Watch. Leo Traugott, brother of Edward | Traugott, owner of the Traugott clotfling store, wrecked by explosion Aug.' 26, testified before the Marion County grand ju r y for an hour today. This is the first time any of the Traugott family has been called. It was understood he was questioned regarding a watch found in the Traugott store safe following the fire. Prosecutors have been working attempting to get the watch positively identified. Leo Traugott, it was said, had a private conference with attaches of the prosecutor’s office earlier in the week and refused to identify the watch as being one which was stolen from him in the Broadmoor Country Club holdup, May 30. Following discovery of the watch detectives j traced a number in the watch to the Windsor Jewelry Company, where it had been repaired. One of the serial numbers was scratched out, but authorities searched every jewelry shop in the city and learned that the watch had been left at the Windsor company between the time of the robbery and the fire. GAR RING LINK SEEN Buffalo Couple Arrested in Stolen Auto Grilled. Information which may link a man and a woman arrested Tuesday by Statea police for possession of a Chevrolet stolen in Pitlsburgh Saturday, with the interstatae automobile ring now under State and federal investigation, is being worked on by Lieut. Charles Bridges, in charge of the State investigation One important clue, Bridges said, is that when James Foster, 25, Buffalo, applied for a license on the car he presented a New York bill of sale. The same type bill of sale was used in all of the high power tolen car deals here. Suspicion was aroused when Foster failed to answer satisfactorily the questions asked by Glenn Inman, title clerk, when he applied for the license. Questioning by Bridges revealed that the car was stolen. The woman held is Mrs. Sue Arcangel, 25, also of Buffalo. HOPE TO GET W. C. T. U.

UTILITIES PAID NEWS SERVICE FOR EDITORIALS 13,000 County Papers Sent Propaganda, Federal Commission Told. BY CECIL OWEN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—Public utility interests pay the E. Hofer and Sons News Service of Salem, Ore., $84,000 a year, the Federal Trade Commission learned today in its investigation of power industry propaganda. Questioning of R. M. Hofer, manager, disclosed that the service distributes “printed editorials” attacking Government ownership and municipal operation pf utilities to thousands of daily and weekly country newspapers in forty-eight States. 13,000 Papers Served Subscriptions totaling about the same amount received from utilities also are obtained from other industries not connected with power interests, Hofer testified. At a canference in New York four years ago, Hofer said, he obtained support from prominent power men for his enterprise. “Asa result of that conference our service eventually was extended until now we reach between 13,000 and 14,000 country papers in all States,” Hofer said. Metropolitan dailies were omitted from the mailing list, he said, because the Salem firm is unfamiliar with metropolitan newspaper methods. He denied the larger dailies were not included because the country field was considered more promising for utility propaganda. “You have followed a policy of persistent opposition to Government operation of utility plants, have you not?” Hofer was asked. Editorials Not Credited He admitted this statement of policy was correct and said the major part of their material could be classified as “canned editorials.” Editorials against government ownership, reproduced in various newspapers were introduced. In most cases, Judge Robert E. Healy, commission counsel, pointed out the editorials were printed without indication that they came from the Hofer News Service. One of the editorials assailed th3 municipt 1 light plant at Cleveland, Ohio as inefficient and uneconomic.

THE INDIANAPOTJS TIMES

COUNCIL, LEGION BREACH WIDENS ON BOXING BILL Fail to Agree on City’s Efforts to Control Boxing Matches. American Legion boxing promoters and city officials today held widely different views as to the provisions of the proposed boxing ordinance. The council ooxing commission headed by Robert E. Springsteen invited legion representatives to meet with them Tuesday at the Chamber of Commerce to “reach an agreement” on the proposed revision. The session was closed, but word sifted out after the meeting that the gap was wider than before the conference. The American Legion officials insisted on their right to conduct boxing shows in the city without regulation by the city and without payment of the 5 per cent tax on gate receipts. Attempts to Collect Fail But the city fathers are anxious to have the boxing matches under their thumb, if possible to do so, and keep the good will of the Legion. On numerous occasions city officials have threatened to stop the Legion bouts if the 5 per cent tax and license fee were not paid. But the Legion has always succeeded in “bluffing out” city authorities. Councilmen are planning some amendments to the new ordinance which is pending in council, it js said, but they declined to discuss the contemplated changes following the conference. Mayor L. Ert Slack, who has manifest considerable interest in the boxing situation, was called into the meeting to express his views. “I think we will keep the 5 per cent tax provision,” Springsteen said. Legion Cites $6,000 Loss “The president of the board of safety probably will be ex-ollicio chairman of the new commission of four. The others will be citizens,” he declared. Mark Hamer and Neal Grider represented the Legion at the session. Hamer said the 5 per cent clause w’ould cost the Legion $6,000 a year. He cited the danger of corrupt politicians controlling the boxing situation. The pending ordinance provides that promoters shall not contract with fighters on the basis of gate recepts. A flat salary must be paid. The new ordinance permits the same promoters to hold not more than one match a week, while two a month are permitted by the present rule. LUDLOW IS SPEAKER Stands for Tariff to Safeguard U. S. Laborer. Louis Ludlow, Democratic nominee for Congressman from the Seventh district (Marion County) favors a tariff “that will safeguard the wage and standard of living of the American laborer,” he told a noon-day meeting of Diamond Chain Company workers today. “I stand for a tariff that will take into consideration the actual difference between the cost of production at home and abroad,” he said, “and I am opposed to a monopolistic tariff. “I do not believe there is a manufacturing establishment in Indianapolis that is seeking to levy monopolistic extortion upon the people,” he added. “If there is it will not be assisted in that direction by any effort of mine, but I will help in every way I can honest home in--1 dustries.”

School? Hie! Bm Times Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 10. “Shay, I can’t—hie—go to school,” is the way Johnny was quoted by Johnny’s mother, giving a teacher in Bosse elementary school an excuse for her son’s absence. She explained that Johnny, whose real name his teacher refuses to reveal, found a bottle of hard cider and drank it all. While his classmates were getting visual education, Johnny was at home seeing things not included in the school curriculum.

FORGET PARTY, CRUSH BIGOTRY, SAYS BUTLER Material Prosperity Is Not Chief Issue, Asserts Columbia Head. Bu l nited Press NEW YORK. Oct. 10.—Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, believes it is the duty of American voters, irrespective of party, to check bigotry. He thinks this duty is more important than protection of material prosperity, which he holds is not at stake in the presidential campaign. In a letter to Commonwealth, organized to combat religious prejudice, Butler wrote: No Time for Cowards “To what a pass has the nation come when millions of those who have passed through the common schools, and many of them also through institutions of higher education, are still the willing weapons of a religious hate and a malice that are as immoral as they are un-Christian and anti-American. “Does all this mean that somewhere in the not distant future another Gibbon is preparing a worldshaking work on the decline and fall of Christianity? It is the duty of every one of us, without any regard whatever to party affiliation, to stamp upon this invading snake with iron heel. “This is no time for cowards, time servers, legalistic word-splitters or ‘well-nows.’ ” The Daughters of Alabama, in a meeting Tuesday, voted down a resolution which attacked the whispering campaign against Governor Smith and which made a strong plea for religious tolerance. Steer Clear of Politics The resolution was put by Mrs. B. L. Spofford, past president of the W. C. T. U. in Mobile. Chief opposition was made by Mrs. Edward T. Herbert, founder, who contended the resolution would involve the organization in politics. Mrs. T. Darington Semple, who said her brother had been a foe of the Ku-Klux Klan while mayor of Montgomery, said: “The proposed resolution is a defense of religious freedom, and that cannot involve us in politics, for it is not a political question.” Mrs. Anne Kendrick Walker said the resolution was defeated by a small majority.
