PROTESTS AGAINST
SENTENCE OF PICKETS
Equal Franchise Society Sends
Plea to President Wilson in
Behalf of Suffragists

The EQUAL Franchise Society, an indc
pendent suffrage society which neither ad'
vocates nor condemns picketng as suf
frage measure. at a special meeting adopted
resolutions. which were sent to President
Wilson. The resolutions, as drawn by j.
Levering Jones, one of the societys direc-
tors. follows:
We respectfully protest against the
sentence of six months imposed upon the
suffrage pickets i'm Washington.
The right Of petition to their rulers by
free people is immemorial II is basic
i'm a constitutional government The right
of petition for amendment OF unequal
laws is an inherent privilege or every free
citizen, for such laws might otherwise
never be amended. and equality OF
privilege and protection fail to be Sc
cured.
Pckets are perpetually in protest in in.
dustrial conflicts. and actively present
their claims by posters and transparencles
before the public without arrest Con.

SHIPBULDING DELAYS
MAY FORCE OUT CAPPS
Shortage Of Vessels Likely to
Bring Another Change in
u. S. Board
wAsu1NGroN. %. I'd.

WASHINGTON, oct. 20.
The American shipbuilding organ'zauo"
is likely soon to undergo a second reorgan'-
cation. Rear Admiral Capps, head OF the
Emergency Fleet Corporation and successor
to General Goethals, will step down or pe
forced out unless present indications fail
Capps is in III health, due to devotion to
duty which kept him constantly at ms
desk eighteen or more hours day. BE
sides this, there are manifestations that
Chairman Hurley, of the United StateS
Shipping Board, and Capps are not IN iuh
harmony because the shipbulding program
is still being delayed.
Capps is regarded by those who have
followed the ship situation as a remarkable
constructor but as paying too much atten-
ton to details which subordinates ought to
handle or which. In the interest of speed
ought to be passed over quickly. As a re-
suit ship construction lags.
officials admit that there is such short
age of vessels and such delay in construc-
ton as really to hamper war work ana
war prospects. There is no dispute over
types of ships, as in the Denman-Goethals
row. but there is far less construction than
American and Allied needs require.
NORTHCLIFFE FOR SHIPS
Lord Northcliffe. British publcst has
repeatedly pointed to the need for ships. and
Herbert Hoover's latest statement empha-
sizes this as one of the three most pressing
essentials at present. Other officials are
just as emphatic,
Capps's i'll health probably will serve as
the vehicle for his elimination sooner or
later, while amendment of the shipping law
also Is quite probable, so that there VIII
not be two boards as at present. one board
constructs ships the other operates them
But where the first hesitates, the other Is
powerless. And that appears TO be the dif-
ficulty today Charm IN Hurley. OF the
operating branch is credited with gt'
for organization, and, while he might put
the other boards on a speedy running basis
his legal power now does not extend that
far
He is in favor of conscription Of labor
as one means Of speeding construction.

DANISH LUTHERANS
TOBE TAKEN OVER
General Council Will AS
sume Charge of Church in
Virgin Islands
RoUTINE SUCCEEDS VOTE
Momentous Action of Yesterday
Followed by Reception of
Various Reports

Missionary work. which for generations
has been carried on by the Danish Luth-
eran Church in the Danish West Indies,
will be taken over, now that the United
States has purchased these islands from
Denmark, by the general council OF the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in the United
states. The decision was reached today at
the sessions of the council, which is cele-
brating its fftieth anniversary. in Wither-
spoon Hall.
The delegates voted that in taking over
the work in these islands, known to the
Lutherans as the Virgin Islands," board
OF FIVE ministers and four laymen be ap-
pointed by the Rev. Or. T. +. Schmauk,
president of the council. to take charge OF
H. The headquarters of the board VIII be
IN New York. 1t Is expected that the work
ers sent to the islands will be drawn largely
from the Augustana Synod, whose 100000
communicants in this country are of Scan
dinav1an descent. An immediate appro-
priation of $1,000 and an annual appropra-
tion of $4,000 was voted for the work.
Commissioners from the Virgin Islands
addressed the convention before the reso-
lutions were passed, among them being the
Rev DR. Hewig-Larsen, of New York, and
the Rev Reginald a. MacFarlane, a West
Indian negro. Nine-tenths of the popuIa-
ton of the Danish West Indies is negro
Reports OF the foreign mission board, the
English home mission board, the Porto
RIcan the Slav. the Swedish and the Ger
man mission boards will be presented in
sequence The report of the Lutheran
Church Extension Society was included In
the morning session, while this afternoon
session listened to the report Of the com
mittee on the budget.
The momentous action taken just at the
close of yesterdays sessions. the decision
TO unite with the General Synod and the
United Synod of the South, was marked
by a unanimous vote. SO weighty was the
question that the delegates were led In
prayer before the ballot was taken.
The ballotng was preceded by a day o
speeches from various leaders In the Gen
eral Councils affairs, representing synod'
Of all sections Of the country, and withou
exception the sentiment was in favor of thu
consolidation, which will merge into on
body all the 100000 or 100000 Lutheran
IN America. Thirteen Of the fourteen
synods of the General Council had alread!
approved Of the step. the only one yet L
vote being the Augustana, or Swedish
Synod, which numbers some 100000 com
municants. Although some of its repre-
sentatives in the present conference sat
that a degree of hesitancy exists amon
some OF its members as to the merger, fear
ing that the synod's individuality might b
lost II was the consensus Of opinion tina
this synod would also ratify the step.
The convention also approved of the pro
posed constitution for the projecte
"United Lutheran Church In America" wit
amendments which were ratified yesterday

HEAVY SELLING
MARKS OPENING
New Low Record For Year and Longer Period; U.
Steel Offered at 90; Rails Denote Pressure
Rr .lssociatcd Press

New York, Nov. 1.-Heavy selling
OF stocks was resumed at the active
opening of to-days session with
many new low records of the year
and much longer period. United
States Steel was again offered in
large lots from SO to 9S, an extreme
over night loss of ga points. Other
industrials, notably equipments as
we'll as shippings, coppers, motors
and oils. lost to 4 points. Rails also
denoted further pressure. Pacitics,
st. Paul, Reading and Pennsylvania,
averaging one point recessions. Raj
lies of as much as a point setin be-
fore the end of the first half hour.
The initial rally failed to hold,
being met by increasing selling. L.
s. Steel made a further decline of
points to sc, its lowest price of the
year, and related industrials broke
2 to ( points. Rails were liquidated
in larger volume. active issues in
that group yielding l y to 3 points.
Metals, oils and sundry speciaites
lost 2 to points. Shipplngs We're
inclined to hold. Marine preferred
showing n nominal gain at noon.
Bonds were weak but Liberty As held
at par and the 3ia s ranged from
991S to 99.S2
