Pncka mum Truman H. Newberry , WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Senator Truman H.- Newberry of Michigan, whose right to a place In the senate has been a subject of long aha bitter controversy, has submitted his resignation with a request that it become effective Immediately. Ministerial Crisis In Germany Still Far From Settled BERLIN, Nov.. 20. Nearly a week has passed since the cabinet of Chan cellor Wirth. resigned,- and the minis terial crlsio is considered to be still far from settled. When Herr Cuno accepted the task of constituting new cabinet of work, as he described it, it was hoped he would have all the portfolios, or at least the most import ant, filled today, but such difficulties have developed ' that it Is . believed likely he may even abandon the ef fort altogether. ' The' chancellor-designate "finds himself balked in his plans to secure a cabinet made up of the middle and Socialist parties, as the Socialists, opposed to what they term Herr Cuno's "freehand" policy, have voted through the United Socialists' executive party to abstain from taking any ministerial portfolios. They base their attitude to some extent on the party's opposition to the Industrialist party, feeling that should the Socialists accept cabinet posts they would be forced to have dealings with the industrialists. As an alternative to giving up his efforts Herr Cuno .may form a cabinet having a non-partisan complexion, thereby hoping U gaisi eome support from the middle parties and possibly from the nationalists. Even this, however, would cause him trouble, as ho would still have to contend with the antagonism of almost two hundred so cialistic and communistic deputies. PREACHING OF TRUTH EMPHASIZED BY BILLY III ROUSING MEETING ' My preaching doesn t hurt any preacher that preaches the truth," de clared Billy Sunday, who addressed about 1,600 local persons at the East Main Street Friends church at 10 o'clock Monday morning, "but there are some pastors who insist oh hand Ing out a bunch of 'bunk' to their congregations, and these are the black sheep of the flock that I'm gunning for. If they don't preach the truth, then there's trouble on hands." The great evangelist, accompanied by Mrs.. W. A. Sunday and Albert Peterson, tabernacle custodian and boys' favorite, was welcomed at the 'large meeting house about 9:45 o'clock, by a reception committee composed of the executive committee of the Billy Sunday club, together with Timothy Nicholson, Adam Bartel, E. Gurney Hill, John E. Bundy, Charles Webb, and Stuart Becde. The song service preceding the sermon by Mr. Sunday was conducted by C. F. Hutchins and there were two numbers given by the double quartet of the Billy Sunday club of Richmond, under the direction of Lee B. Nusbaum. The meeting was in charge of W. H Romey president of the Billy Sunday club. Sunday Party Busy Billy Sunday said that aside, from Mrs. Sunday and ; Mr. Peterson, the other members of the Sunday party were too busy Monday morning to accompany him. He brought their greetings to Richmond folk and voiced his own pleasure at being here. Mr. Sunday's sermon .was on the twenty-third Psalm, which he said was supposed to have been written some 3,000 years ago by King. David. He reviewed the various names which have been given to this psalm and analysed Its phraseology placing upon It a modern interpretation. He re ferred to the names as the "Creed Psalm", "The Minstrel's Psalm", the "Psalm of the Lark" and "The Sheonera s saim . In referring to the humility of the shepherd, which represents the spirit of the writer of the psalm, Mr. Sunday said the spirit of the shepherd idea tends to keep a fellow from srettine the swell-head. "I thank God for two things. I can preach and I haven't got the swell-head and I'm as common as corn bread." Must Think of God In speaking of the modern trend of tnougbt Mr. Sunday stated that improvement tends toward the material rather than the spiritual. "We have fine roads, fine cars, everything for our comrorc. tmt we haven t 1m proved spiritually as we have im proved materially. The big Idea seems to be to let God take the side track for everything. "And I shall dwell In the House of the Lord forever," closed the psalm as the great evangelist explained that heaven, the House of the Lord, Is not (Please Turn to Page Four)

Truman H. Newberry, who formally tendered his resignation to Governor Alex Groesbeck here. So announced Gov. Groesbeck In an exclusive' Interview with the United Press today." ' " This will eliminate among the possi bilities, Senator jCharles H. Townsend, In whose, behalf the governor-spoke not a word ; Rep.. Patrick H. Kelley; State Senator Herbert F. Baker and John G.

Among the possible appointees men tioned recently by the governor are Lieutenant Governor Thomas Read, o Hastings, who undoubtedly has the "Inside track, and 13 strongly favored by the governor, and William M. Potter, chairman of the public utilities commission and state . fuel admin istraton By Associated Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Vice President Coolidge was expected to read Into the senate record today after convening of the special session of congress the resignation of Truman H. Newberry as United States senator from Michigan. Forwarded to Gov. Groesbeck of that state under date of November 18, Mr. Newberry's letter of resignation, requesting that it become effective Immediately, was made public here last night, after a copy had been transmitted to Vice President.

Although declaring In a review of the long and bitter controversy over his right to a place in the senate, his election over Henry Ford, his Democratic opponent, four years ago, that this right had been "fully confirmed." Blames Unrest Mr. Newberry, in his letter, said he had been impelled to retire from that body because of the defeat of his Re publican colleague. Senator Townsend, In the November 7 election. At the same time, Jn discussing the con troversy in Its- relation to Jthfi campaign Just closed, during which it was an Issue In many states, Mr. Newberry expressed the conviction that a "fair analysis of the vote in Michigan and other states where friemls and politic al enemies alike have suffered defeat will demonstrate a general feeling of unrest was mainly responsible." The present situation, however, he said, rendered futile his further serv ice in the senate, since It meant he would "continue to be hampered bY partisan political persecution." Should future opportunity present itself, Mr. Newberry added, he would not hesitate to offer himself to his state and country. Before the case passed as an Issue Into the recent campaign the senate had upheld Mr. Newberry's title to a seat by a margin of five votes, but it appeared that the fight was again to be resumed early In this session, of congress. .

A parliament in which Ireland, with the exception of part of Ulster, is ot represented and in which the Labir party appears as the chief contender for recognition as the opposition, opened this afternoon For a moment the clerk assumed charge of the proceedings but instead of speaking he merely pointed a finger at T.

When this choice had been confirmed the house adjourned to receive the king's formal assent to its choice of speaker. The Times parliamentary correspondent asserts that the Liberals will not concede the Laborites' claim to recognition as the opposition party. The writer expects that a compromise will be effected. The Daily Herald, - Labor's official paper, Eays: "If the speaker should immediately concede the Labor party's clear title to the position of official opposition by calling upon Its leader to speak first in . the initial debate, then the labor party should immediately work out of the house in a body."

The formality of swearing In the new members are expected to occupy tomorrow and Wednesday. After the king's speech on Thursday parliament will proceed to a consideration of the Irish constitution, ratification of which must be accomplished by Dec. 6 if the Anglo-Irish treaty is not to lapse.

The latter's card was placed on a seat by a deputy but Lady Astor personally seized the corner seat on the govern ment side. The place next to her was taken by Col.

In fact, within a few minutes, everybody knew about the earthquake except Hawaii. Honolulu expressed surprise. Urg ent cablegrams and radio flew between Hawaii and the mainland. Radio oper ators tired, vainly to reach Hilo. That station, with which there is no regular communication on Sunday remained silent," Hear Station.

Insant slayer of his wife and son, will he asked of the special grand Jury called for Wednesday to investigate the double murder. "I am convinced Mr. Clark still had sufficient possession of his faculties to know what he was doing," Prosecutor Charles Haller said.
