HuDERATOR IS I&ESI6NATED BY FfRESBYTERIANS [The Rev. Dr. Chalmers, a Native of Indiana, Is Honored. By United Press CLEVELAND, May 25.—Taking over the highest post in the Presbyterian church, the Rev. Dr. William Chalmers Covert, newly elected moderator, was presented at today’s sessions with an historic gavel. The gavel was fashioned by students of Western Reserve academy, Hudson, 0., whose ivied buildings served as the place of worship at the first educational institution in the Western Reserve under care of the Presbyterian church. The Rev. Mr. Covert was chosen moderator late yesterday from among three candidates. His choice constituted the first setback of the fundamentalist or orthodox group, ■which had backed the Rev. James C. McConnell, Upper Darby, Pa. The new moderator succeeds Dr. John McDowell. Dr. Covert, 70, is retiring at the present session as general secretary of the board of Christian 'education in Philadelphia, a post he had field for several years. Moderator. Covert appointed Elder Earle S. Hoover, Glenside. Pa., as vice-moderator, and Elder F. Leonard Wailes, Salisbury, Md., as chairman of the assembly’s finance committee. A heavy docketed schedule of routine faced the sessions today. Meanwhile, it was learned today, that only one and one-half hours will be given to the entire question of proposed organic union with the United Presbyterian church. Indications are that the 920 assembly commissioners will adopt the proposal by an 8 to 1 vote. The general council has completed its plans for suppressing the independent board of foreign missions, headed by Dr. J. Gresham Machen, fundamentalist power. The plans •were being carefully guarded until announced to the assembly. The new moderator was born in a Presbyterian community in Indiana, settled by his grandfather and four of his grandfather’s brothers. He began his ministry in Michigan in 1888.

SCOTCH IN AMERICA BEATS SCOTLAND’S, JOURNALIST STATES

By United Press NEW YORK. May 25—Thoroughly “re-Americanized” after eight months in the United States, Webb Miller, European news manager for United Press, was en route to England today. After a long absence, Mr. Miller thoroughly examined his native country, traveling from coast to coast. His observations included: Prohibition, the depression, the new deal, and repeal have modified habits of Americans, but not as much as one might expect. New York women are the best dressed in the world. Americans have better food, homes, clothing; more recreations and conveniences than Europeans; also more freedom and fun. United States railway service generally worse than European; airplane service far better. American hotels give twice for half as much. Americans have the world’s best teeth. Scotch whisky is better In United States than in Scotland. Most American policemen look sloppy.

EMPLOYERS AND STRIKERS AGREE IN MINNEAPOLIS Trucking Peace Is Subject to Ratification by Both Sides. By United Press MINNEAPOLIS, May 25.—The Minneapolis truck drivers’ strike speeded along the road to a peaceful settlement today after a week of intermittent rioting. While national guardsmen rested on their arms and quiet reigned under an indefinite truce, Governor Floyd B. Olson jumped into the -breach between strikers and employers and led them to a “substantial agreement,” subject to ratification later in the day. Governor Olson announced an accord had been reached with the exception of “two minor changes in phraseology,” which he said had been asked by the workers and which he planned to submit to the employers “with every hope of success.” City Is Relieved The announcement came after a night of conferences in which the Governor shuttled back and forth between the strikers’ and employers’ committees, convened in buildings five blocks apart. The Governor’s shoulder sagged wearily and his red-rimmed eyes revealed plainly the stress of an almost sleepless week but he smiled as he asserted that “this strike is over. I don’t think there’s a possible chance that our terms won’t be accepted.” The accord brought emotional relief to a city which for nine days has been a powder keg of belligerent men. Civic Leader Killed A business and civic leader was killed • and more than 300 persons injured in a red week of mob fights. At the climax of the troubles Tuesday, 6,000 strikers battled all over the city market district with thousands of police and deputy sheriffs Three regiments of national guardsmen arrived the next day, threatening martial law if an emergency truce were broken. Governor Olson took personal charge of negotiations between strikers and employers simultaneously, with a pronouncement that “we’re going to stop this. Not an- ' other man will be killed.” First Plan Rejected All through Wednesday he labored with the regional labor board. Employes agreed to terms of an order halting the strike, returning strikers to work and submitting wage demands to arbitration. Workers rejected the plan at a mass meeting of 60,000 men. Defeated and defied, the Governor obtained agreement to an extension of the truce, under which employers agreed not to attempt to move hundreds of trucks lined up at the city limits for a dash through the city. The drivers demanded a written statement from employers, recognizing the right of union representatives to negotiate directly for their members. They would have

none of an intermediate arbitration committee. Employers refused. Last night, with new rioting feared and expected, Governor Olson lined up committees of employers and drivers in separate quarters a half-mile apart. He argued, he cajoled, he pleaded. Point by point—word by word—he closed gaps between the parties. At each point gained he ran to his car, raced to the office of the opposition and used it as a lever with which to pry out a counter-conces-sion. At 2 a. m. he called into the strikers’ conference his personal stenographer to draft the terms of an agreement. A few minutes later he hurried to consult the employers, then returned to the drivers. His triumphant announcement followed. WOMEN’S DEMOCRATIC CLUB MEETING IS SET Perry Township Organization to Hear Mrs. Lewis.

TRIO CHARGED WITH WHIPPING CITY SALESMAN; Bound, Gagged and Beaten,; Alleges Victim of Un- | written Law. A law as old as time, but not re- ! corded in any statutes book, claimed j its penalty last night as a father j and two sons ‘horsewhipped’ a man alleged to have violated the honor of their home. In surroundings as primitive as the unwritten law, among lonely pine trees and beneath a glowing moon. Clarence Earl Naftzger, 50, of 2905 North Capitol avenue, was bound, gagged and beaten with a j “cat-o’-nine-tails,” he reported to j police. Lacerated on the head and face I and bruised on the body, he was j treated at city hospital and taken ’ to city prison where he was slated i for vagrancy and held in default of ] $3,000 bond. Three Suspects Held Those charged with taking family , honor and vengeance into their own ! hands —Loren McCleary, 55, of 2105 j Ashland avenue, and his two sons,! Loren McCleary Jr. and James Me- I Cleary, 21, ‘ also are held in city prison on vagrancy charges with j bond set at $3,000 each. Naftzger. a cosmetics salesman, j was seized at Clifton and Twenty- | sixth streets, and taken to a deso- i late spot on Cold Spring road,; north of the Riverside fish hatch- j ery. according to his statement. He was pushed through, a thicket! of evergreens and bound to a tree. His cap was stuffed into his mouth! to smother his outcries as the whip ! lashed whistling through the air. Witness Calls Police A Negro who witnessed the Clif-, ton street episode called police, who! apprehended the four as Naftzger; was being returned at Thirtieth ! street and White river bridge. The elder McCleary, patriarch of' the family, frankly admitted the whipping, police claim, and is purported to have said that the victim! “got no more than he deserved.” i Family honor and secrecy still j were dominant as Mr. Cleary said,; “Beyond the thrashing, there is no] use going into details. It is entirely! a personal, private and family as-! fair of honor.” MAD DOG ATTACKS TVI/o Animal Also Bites Two OtLer Canines Before Being Kille ..
