CHURCHMEN WOULD
 COMPEL BUSINESS
 TOOBSERVES SUNDAY
North Alabama Methodists Ask That All Trains, Newspapers and Interstate Traffic Be
 Prohibited on Sabbath

Gadsden, November (Special)- grants the request of the members of the North Alabama Methodits confer ence. in sesison here, the prohibition blanket now covering the country will have all the principal parts of wide- open regime.
 At the regular session of the con. ference today, resolution was anani- mously passed requesting a national law prohibiting Sunday trains, the pub lication of Sunday newspapers and the blocking of all interstate traffic, in- cluding the mails. The resolution also asked that the law include a comDul- sorry clause requiring that every work ing man be given an opportunity to observe Sunday as a day of rest and prayer" This latter clause is taken to mean that the conference indorses the idea that all business should stop on the Sabbath, regardless of it's charac- ter.
 SPEAKERS SEE DISASTER
 Noah w. Cooper of Nashville, Tenn, who is boosting the crusade for a na- tional antiSunday industrial law ad- dressed today's conference and stated that many other conferences had al- ready passed similar resolutions and that unless this law was enacted and enforced the American nation soon would follow the paths of Israel and Prussia which lead to destruction. His appeal was impassioned and, as a re- svIt. the resolution which places the tue laws" of the most temperate staFe into the liberal column, was in- trofuced and passed.
 The conference is well attended and many notable ministers and laymen are taking an active part in the proc ,ed- 1ngs. There are rumors that mum arot,s pastors will be assigned to other churches. These assignments will be announced by Bishop James Cannon Monday. It is expected that score or more churches will be affected It Is understood that some of the better known ministers of Birmingham and other of the larger churches will be given new charges.

DOES NOT LIKE HIS
INVESTIGATION JOB
But Senator Ball Will Go Ahead
in Looking Into Charges Of
Navy Scandal.
ppciAl Dispatch From Every kveuisna
Washington Correspondent.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Ball
said today that he didn't expect TO go 10
Newport, Rhode Island, to investigate the
charges of improper conduct brought
against naval men by a newspaper man
of rovidence. The Senator explained that
the function of the subcommittee of the
committee on naval affairs was to deter
mine whether thorough investigation
should be made.
"The subcommittee of which l am
chairman will not investigate the charges:
we will simply try to discover whether
there are grounds for thorough Senatorial
investigation" said Senator Ball. TO
reach this conclusion il will not be neces-
saTy, In my Judgment, for us to 60 to
Rhode Island. The charges are serious
and the naval officers affected, either by
innuendo or by being directly pointed out
as cAlprits are entitled TO an investiga-
ton Of their conduct"
Senator Ball said after the committee
finishes its preliminary Investigation it
may make such report az will require a
visit TO Rhode Island. He doesn't appear
to particularly relish the kind OF duty he
has been delegated by the commerce COM
mittee to perform. II am not anxious TO
associate myself with the kind of service
which such unpleasant investigations
require" he said, "but this scems to be
part of my duties as Senator and viii
not ehirk."

Iack-Toe" is out of the ordinary, q
musical play replete with new turns and
twists and clever surprises. From a re-
view in Syracuse, New York, paper, il is
evident that MIR. Timberg has reason to
use such an expression, for it is "a musical

before. Flo Lewis, Jay Gould and Hattie
Darling are the three principal players.

COURT D|SM|SSES
HADEAS CORPUS WHIT
JudEes Rule, in Matt Case, That
Merits Cannot be Gone
Into,

That the court has only to dstSYmine
a. to the legality of tho domand for the
arrost and detention Of n fugitive sought
by roquisition pspon from another State,
and cannot 90 into a hearing Of tho merits
Of the case, Was rulod by Judges Heiscl
and Conrad in Superior Court today
The question arose in tho habons corpus
proceedings instituted by Harry p. Joslyn,
attorney for tho defendant, in tho cnso Of
Harry Matt, local furniture dealer, who
has beon indicted by tho grand jury of
Philadelphia on charge Of ombezylcment
OF some money while administering nn
estate in that city. The haboas corpus
proceedings woro dismissed by tho court
and Matt was ordered turned over to tho
Philadelphia authorities.
Matt was arrested sometime ago on
complaint Of the Philadelphia authorities,
case, no was dismissed in Municipal Court
on November 10, when il seemed that 'an
attempt was boing made to use the crimi-
nal courts for tho collection of civil debt
RoQuisition papers wero issued by
Governor Sproul of Pennsylvania on
November IL, based on the action OF tho
grand jury of Philadelphia, indicting
Matt on a charge of cmbozzlement. On
receipt of tho paper, Governor Townsend
learned that Matt had boon dismissed
by tho Municipal Court and turned tho
matter over to Deputy Attorney General
Green for investigation, which ended in
the rcarrest of Matt on Friday night.
Judge Hastings, in Municipal Court
this morning, dismissed Matt, ruling that
his court had nothing whatever to do with
the case, as the man had boon arrested
on mandate of tho governor of tho State,
and, under tho law, the officer in making
the arrest should directly turn tho man
over to tho Pennsylvania authorities.
MIR. Joslyn contendod that tho do
fendant was entitled to have the facts
alleged by the Pennsylvania authorities
heard to enable the Superior Court to
pass upon the legality of tho demand for
his arrest and dotention. He said. that no
or Matt knew nothing of the matter
before the governor. He cited the case
of Harry X. Thaw in support of his con-
tention.
The court, on this point, ruled that its
duty was only to pass upon tho legality
of the papers and not upon the merits OF
tho case.
Mr.. Joslyn thcn objected to the papers
on the ground that they did not state
what was alleged to be embezzlod by
Matt, or when the allegodl crime took
place. The court overrulcd this objcc-
ton, saying that further details were un-
necessary.

THE SWISS AGREE WITH
WILSON ON ARTICLE X
No Heavy Obligation on League
of Nation Members, is Official
Interpretation.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The much
discussed Article x of the League 81
Nations, about which opponents of the
Ioagr1e have centred criticism is de-
cIared mot 20 involve very heavy obi
cations 70 the me bers of the League" n
a careful official analysis of he covenant
prerarpd by the Swiss Federal Council
and made available here. In this volume
Of 100 clo.eiv-printed pages IN French and
German, which wss submitted 70 the
Federal Assembly to anzver the QUESTION
Of Svitrriand's adhesion n the League.
the conclusion IS reached after intensive
study Of Article K. that the artirle would
not become operative until the state
violating 1t had gwen unmIstskable evf-
dence that 1t had started out on a war Of
conquest
Directly contrary 20 the claim which
has been iterated and reiterated for
months by opponents Of the League
that Article X would oolIgate the nIred
States 10 send our bows OVERSEE. for

League state there would De contiic,
With Article K "oniy Il a ociligerenT

territory or manifest the desIre 70 make
a war OF conquest" This Interpretation.
it IS interesting 70 note, follows exactly
that nven by President Wilson II his talk
with the Senator'S
In other words. the Swiss view Is that
no msmber Of the League would be forced,
because Of Article \ 70 90 70 war at the
drop of the nat, with another nation
which violates the territorial integrity or
political independence OF a nation. The
article would be violated only wnen the
ultimate purpose OF the attacking nation
to convert the attack into q war OF aggres-
ssoH became evident.
Even then. however, no automatic
action would be required, the Swiss point
out. for the Council can, according 70
tins article, only give advice and not direct
orders" In other words, when il directs
orders"
The general conclusion of the Swiss
statesman IS that the member States are
under obligation 70 abstain from al NO
lent enterpriss s, but cannot be bound in
all cases to defend the State attacked"
This is such vastly different interprs-
tation OF the article from the interpre-
tstion which IS being made so broadly
throughout the country as 70 give the
article wholly different meaning.
