Steel King Addresses American
Bar Association on Status of
Our Relations With Germany
and Austria.
MAJORITY OF PEOPLE
IN FAVOR OF TIRE ATTY
Says He Believes League of Ma
tiOns Covenant Will Be Adopt
ed Without Material Change
Despite Opposition in Senate.

Boston, Sept. 4.-Immediate re-
sumption of business relations with
Germany and Austria was advocated
today by Elbert H. Gary, chairman
of the board of directors of the Uni
ted States steel corporation, in an adj
dress before the annual meeting of
the American bar association Mr..
Gary prefaced his speech with a de-
claration that the majority of the
people of America were in favor of
the peace treaty and the league of
nations, and that he would assume
that it would be adopted without
material change
The establishment of trade be-
tween the United States and the Cen
trail powers was urged by the speaker
on the ground that we need German
and Austrian goods and also that such
purchases would have decided in
fluence in stabilizing international
exchange.
"F'rom an economic standpoint" he
said, considering of paramount sig
nificance, tse question of benefit to
ourselves, we ought to resume busi-
ness relations with Germany and
Austria at once"
AS further means to restore the in
ternationa1 business situation, Mr..
Gary declared that the United States
should finance other deserving
countries less fortunate, in rehabili-
tating their productive capacity and
resources, and that we should pur-
chase their products. up to the limits
of our requirements sarsa sshaity.''
Mr.. Gary closed his speech with a
declaration that this was not the
worst, but the best period in our his
tory. 1t is the best" he said ''for it
looks forward to a future that is
bright and glorious if we but rise
to the heights of practical advantage"
Elihu Root, former secretary of
state, speaking before the judicial
section of the bar association said
he favored wiping out the business
of attempting to bring about justice
by statute" and that he believed it
best to leave it to the judges to do
JUSTICE
"A few meagre rules embodying the
principles are all that is necessary. he
added. "One of the great troubles with
legislation today is that it does not
permit the judges to do Justice"
Young and inexperienced lawyers in
the legislatures, who because they
did not. like the views of a certain
Justice or because a matter did not
turn out the way they thought it
should. proceed as soon as they get
a chance in the legislature to bring
about the change they think ought
to be made" were largely RESPONSE
BILE for the condition, he thought.
'sThe real reason for criticism of the
courts is not that the people have
lost faith in the courts and confidence
in our judges. but that they have come

SAYS CHURCHES
Have TOO MANY
USELESS PARTS
Presbyterians in a New Era
Movement Consider Plans for
Nation Wide Evangelistic
Campaign for Unification.

College Camp, Williams Bay, Wis,
Sept 4.-Delegates to the conference
of the Presbyterian new era move
ment today considered plans for a
nation wide evangelistic campaign af-
ter listening to addresses.
Rev. Joseph III. Vance, of Detroit.
Mich, said that to Christianize
America was the mission of the
church. He said that all the rot of
the "Trotzky and Lenine crowd, "
would soon be swept aside; that their
doctrine was all bluff" that soon
their rule of loot would end and tho
people would be following the cross
of Christ.
DIR. Vance said that Christianity
could only conquer the world through
unified church. He said the average
church did not have its whole mem
bership sufficiently active.
IF twenty-five people out of the
sixteen to eighteen hundred in my De-
troit church were to be taken away
by DEATH" he said. .it would leave
me flat on my back
He urged a unified church and that

: If your automobile" he told his
fellow ministers, had as many use
less parts in it as your average church,
you could not run it down HILL
He said that the church had in a
large measure lost its sense of spir-
ituai life and was not living up to it's
mission to spread the gospel among

reported that the Presbyterian church
would act officially late in September
on the project of alliance with other
denominations through the inter-
church world movement.
The delegation vigorously applauded
the sentiment that church cooperation
was essential if the church were to
capitalize its spiritual assets for the
evangelizing of the nation.
The conference today forwarded to
President Wilson the following menu
rial, adopted by a unanimous vote:
President Wilson, White House
The new era conference of the Pres
byterian church in session at Lake

CITY MAY FILE
MANDAMUS SUIT
over WARRANTS
Will Be Made to Force
Clerk MacGibbon to Sign
Barrancas Road Warrants.
Bought by Contractor.

If James Macgibbon, auditor for
Escambia county, does not sign the
issue of $4,000 in time warrants for
the completion of the Barrancas ave-
nue. road by the end of the week, court
proceedings to force him to do so will
be resorted to by the county commits
sioners. This was the statement made
last night by j. George White, chair
man of the board.
1t is probable that mandamus pro-
ceedings will be instituted in either
the circuit court or the court of rec
ord. The matter will be brought up
at the meeting of the commission to-
morrow morning when formal re-
quest will be made that Mr. Macgib-
bon sign the time warrants at once
and thus release the money for the
construction of the road.
Mr.. Macgibbon said last night that
he knew nothing of any contemplated
proceedings against him and that he
would defer action as to his probable
course until he was so informed. The
auditors refusal to sign the issue is
one of the "ten points" of objection
to acts of the county board which Mr..
Macgibbon outlined in a recent protest
made to them.
VIII riSHeI, illoiiiSy loi ooAtii WI
kens, who was the successful bidder
for the warrants, took action for dam
ages on the rule day of the court of
record September i. The suit is for
$4,000, which Mr.. Gerkens claims is
due him through an alleged delay in
road building and a consequent final-
cial loss which he claims.
The auditor has one month. accord
ing to court ruling. in which to demur
or to file an answer.
