Preacher Refused Admission as Dele
gate to Convention, Though Duly
Authenticated by Church
Ipecial 10 The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
ST. LOUIS. May 22.-The Central
Trades and Labor union today refused
to admit the Rev. e. w. McClusky,
pastor of the Curby Memorial Presby-
terian church, as a delegate from the
Presbyterian Ministerial association.
The association had in a communica-
tion formally requested that Mr.. Nc
Clusky be given a seat, in line with
the policy of the Presbyterian church,
to become more thoroughly in touch
with the labor movement. At the same
time it asked that a delegate be ap-
pointed by the central body to attend
the meetings of the association.
One delegate moved to refer the mat
ter to the executive committee, but be-
fore the motion could be seconded fifty
members were on their feet and a
dozen protested that there We're
"squabbles enough in the union already
without introducing religious squab-
bles >"
Order was finally restored and a mo-
tion to lay the matter on the table
was then carried by a vote of 81 to ~.
A circular was thrown about the hall
declaring that if minister were ad-
mitted the body might soon be con-
verted Into a central body of doctors
of theology and representatives of or
ganized clericalism."

GRIEF UNHINGES
SISTERS MIND
HELEN LoSKAWSKI WANDERS
AFTER FUNERAL
DlsIikina Publicity, Relatives Of the
Missing Young Woman Were
Slow In Reporting Case
to the Police

Following the death of Lucy Los
kawslSi. the police were notified of the
disappearance of Helen Loskawsk the
decedenGs sister, and aid was implored
In loCa tins her
Immediately after the funeral Of her
little sister Miss Loska wski left her
home at 176 East Pico street. Since
that time the young woman has not
been seen, nor have her friends re-
ceived any word of her whereabouts.
Believing that they could locate the
young woman unaided, the friends did
not at first report the case to the Off
GERS. They also disliSed the publicity
connected with such reports, and this
had it's influence in deferring their ac-
ton.
Despairing at last of their efforts,
the aunt of the young woman, Mrs.
Schram, with whom Miss Loskawsk
lived. called at the central station and
explained the case. Though much
time has elapsed since the girls leaving
the officers will use every effort to
locate her.
Sisters Were lnseparable
Helen Loskawski and her sister
Lucy were drawn very closely to each
other during the past few years of their
lives, according to the story told last
ulSuls MY Sptlll tile illOSb VI tiltll
time together in their hours of leisure
and were unusually devoted.
When Lucy became i'll the older sis
ter sat by the chid's bed and refused
to move out of the room unless neces-
sary. 1t was not until it became known
that the younger sisters life was
doomed that the young woman began
to change.
For several hours after the child's
death the older sister seemed as though
in a trance. Her mind was haze.
Grief was shown in her every action
and marked on her face. She seemed
finally to revive, but her demeanor
was different. She attended the funeral
and that is the last her friends have
seen of her.
The police believe that the young
woman has either taken her life or Is
wandering about with mind unhinged.
They know little of the case, but they
will make every effort to find the
young woman.
Detectives have been detailed and the
description of the girl has been given
to all of the patrolmen with instruc-
tions to watch for her.

CHICAGO, May 22.-Selling eggs and

Miss Babcock decided today to dis

gave them to her at market rates, or a
little higher when her credit began to
decline last year.

was buying eggs cheap of us and sell

creditors.
But the bull: of the profits came from
broilers," said II. G. Geisler. a COM
mission merchant, at No. 261 South
Water street, who was formerly super
intendent of the North Shore poultry
farm. Miss Babcock invented the idea
of thawing young chickens that had
been kept in storage. She bought them
on the market in the summer when
they were cheap, fed them a little and
then put them in cold storage until the
time of high prices. The chefs thought
after they had been thawed, they were
young chickens from the incubators
on the farm. But the incubators were
never satisfactory"

NEW YORK, May 22.-When Louis
Martin of 1923 Arch street. Phladel-
phia, came down the gang plank of the
French liner Lorraine today he looked
as though he weighed at least 400
pounds. After the customs officers got
through with him he looked as though
he weighed 1870.
Investigation showed that Martin had
wound around his body 1860 feet of cell
luloid Photographic film and had sewed
about his arms, waist and legs exactly
twenty eight dozen glass magic Ian
tern slides. After all these articles
were removed from his person Martin
shrank visibly. both mentally and
physically. According to the customs
officers, he confessed that he was try

without paying duty thereon, because,
as he is alleged to have said, he is
poor man and wished to start up

POLICE DESTROY
OFFENDING TOYS
MISUSE OF BUSTERS AND
CANES PUNISHED
Officers Seize Feather Tleklers When
They Are Used Too Vigorously.
Break Sticks When Used to
DlsIodge Hats

The police indirectly aided the deal
ers in the little feather ticklers, which
found so much favor with the Fiesta
crowds yesterday afternoon and even
ing.
The feather duster stunt had grown
to be a nuisance Of such proportions
last evening that the policemen sta
toned on Broadway and Spring streets
confiscated all the diabolical annoy
ances whenever they saw one
At first the sticks upon which the
feathers were fastened were only a
few inches long, but as the crowds
grew bolder busters were put on sale
that were FIVE and six feet long, en-
abling the possessors thereof to reach
clear across the sidewalk and strike
their unhappy victims in the face or
neck.
This was deemed a trihe too strong
by the police and they promptly seized
all the feather sticks that they saw and
broke them neatly across five times.
In many cases long canes or sticks
were used to reach over the walk and
jerk hats off. Whenever this was seen
by the police II was stopped imme-
diately.
The rougher element took advantage
of the laxity of the Fiesta season to
play its disagreeable pranks on the
passersby in the streets.
In general the crowds were admir-
ably handled by the police and, while
no ruffiianism was permitted, the dis
cipline was not over harsh.
Great difficulty was experienced in
keeping the members of the crowd back
of the wires with which the streets
were strung, and it some cases it was
necessary to drive them back with
clubs to keep them out of the horses
way and to keep the street clear
enough to allow the parade to pass.
