 Abolish Everything
By Associated pre,s

New Orleans, May 10-Abolishment of newspapers. railroad schedules. moving picture shows, baseball games and other diversions on Sunday was urged vigor- ously by Dr. I. Cochrane Hunt, Presby- terian pastor of Covington, Ky, at mass meeting held here tonight under the auspices of the representatives from the 59th general assembly of the Pres byterian church in the United States, known as the Southern Presbyterian.
 We are not living in the age of OK team. stage coaches and candle snuffers," said pr. Hunt, "but in the age of tin lizzes, movies and shimmy dances. If the church does not take a more mili- tant attitude toward the strict observ- ance of the Sabbath, the cause of Christ on earth is 1ost.'
 Dr. Hunt represented the Lords Day alliance, an organization with the pur- pose, he describes, of bringing about a complete cessation of business on Sun day
 The assembly has taken no action on thissor the recommendations of the con- ference committee on Federal union for a union of the Presbyterian churches of the north and south, but the questions are to come up during the sessions of the next two days.

AUSTRIAN TREATY DELAYED
 Nv Associated Press

Paris, Saturday, May 17-fThe Aus trian peace treaty, according to in- dications today, will not be ready fer presentation before the later part ~s the next week 1t is understood that the failure of Hungarian delegates to arrive and the uncertainty regarding conditions there caused considerable redraft of portions of the document concerning overlapping questions in the former dual monarchy.
 Meanwhile the members of the Aus trian delegation at St. Germain have as yet done little except to accustom themselves to the pleasures of that his- torical and beautiful place
 They spend long hours in bed and seem to enjoy the abundant meals which are probably in sharp contrast to what they knew in Vienna. The members are rarely seen outside their villas and hotels and have not yet. according to all information. attempt ed any serious labors.
 The only exception to this easy life has been furnished byl the four fooe experts with the delegation. who had another conference today with the ili- teraIlied representatives covering methods of distributing food in Vienna and what is left of Austria.
 The ceremony of exchanging cre- dentials with the fAustrians probably will occur Monday or Tuesday in the Hotel Henry ". Jules Cambon, the chairman of the snterallied commission on credentials, and the other members will be received by a guard of honor of dismounted chasseurs who will De withdrawn before the Austrians, head ed by Chancellor Renner, arrives so as to avoid according the Austrians any military hon<rs.

 igpatiOn as director of the treas-

 declaring that excessive "red tape''
 and ponderous supervision of the

Secretary Glass is- sued formal statement tonight cate gorically denying the charges of Di- rector Lindsley and criticizing the ,di- rector for failure to observe the ordi- nary official amenities. Two of Direc- tor Linds1ey's five executive assistants in the bureau have offered their resiy- nations. and similar action proba ply will be taken by others.
 Director Lindsley. whose home is in Dallas, Tex, and who was head of the army's war risk section in France, with the rank of colonel, today made pubic correspondence between himself and Secretary Glass, telling his story of what he said was serious interference on the part of the treasury with mat ters of appointment of even minor clerks salaries of employees, and other expenditures administrative details within the bureau. and publicity re- garding allotments. allowances com pensation and soldiers insurance.

 Colonel Lindsley charged that all though when he was appointed by See retary Glass last December Is, he was given to understand that he would have wide authority to reorganize the war risk insurance bureau from the chaotic condition in which it's work had fallen, the treasury subsequently imposed

NC-1 BADLY DAMAGED

Messages received from Rear Admiral Jackson late tonight telling of the heavy seas. runng at the time the plane was found, served to increase the apprehension felt for the safety of the crew of the NC-3. The lower planes of the NC-1 were badly dam aged. one pontoon was entirely car ried away, the right wing was badly broken, the left wing ribs were dam aged. and the elevators were smashed
 Naval vessels standing by in an ef- fort to salvage the big boat reported to the department that the seas were running so high that 1t was impossi- ble to- save it at this time. It was pointed out that only good fortune could possibly save the NC-3 for even more serious damage since it is han dicapped by the extra weight of its crew
 Using Corvo Island as an operating base. the screen of battleships and de- stroyers were sweeping westward in a great semi-circle in an effort to catch sight Of the NC-3. or pick ur radio distress signals. The high winds and heavy seas prevailing made the work of the rescue party most diff. c,lf
