ROCKS CHURCH
AT PUBLIC MEET
England's Alleged ~Naughty Arch
Appeals to People Regarding
Charge of immortality.

London, July 29.- -CUnited Press)
--Archdeacon John Wakeford fair
ly rocked the church of England
today in his appeal to the people
from conviction on a charge of i'm
morality.
The muscular clergyman, known
as the naughty arch" since his al
legged adventure with a young wom-
an who met him in his church, the
Peterborough cathedral, laid his
case before the public al mass
meeting last night.
Wakeford'S denial Of improper re-
lations with the young woman and
his replies to the evidence against
him led to belief today that there
are two chances of success for his
appeal
The first is that parliament, by
special act, may reopen the case,
Wakeford promising new evidence
to offset the. ''pajama and spying
chambermaid" testimony which con-
victed in both church and secular
courts.
WakefQrd's other chance is that
he may tacitly be declared innocent
through another appointment by
the lord chancellor.

they became effective.
The mayor appointed Burke as
Gil inspector and when a quarrel
broke out over the fees in that Of
flee, Burkes political sun began TO
descend. Complaints to the mayor
that there was a shortage in :ne

cation but it was halted when
Burke turned over $4,000 to the
city comptroller.

Burke had been city sealer, sec
retary of the county central COM

FIGHT MOVE TO
SAVE WANDERER
Murderer Reprived by Governor
Was Pronounced Sane by
Two JurieS.

Chicago, July 20. = Every effort
will be made to thwart attempts to
obtain Communication of sentence or
freedom for Carl o. Wanderer,
saved from hanging today by the re-
prieve granted by Governor Small
late yesterday according to Ernest
Hodges, assistant states attorney.
The reprieVe, running until Sept 80,
for the man convicted of having
killed his wife, her unborn babe,
and the ragged stranger" in a fake
holdup, was granted on the plea of
William r. McCauley Illinois com
mander of the American legion.
Commander McCauley argued that
Wanderer is insane.
The exact procedure for what will
be Wanderers third mental exam
ination, has not been made public,
but it is thought probable that he
will be examined by d commission
appointed by Governor Small 1t
was said that Wanderers friends
will lay special emphasis on the
theory that he became unbalanced
while serving in France.
Mr.. Hodges, however, said that
Wanderer had been treated fairly
and impartially.
"One jury found him guilty, an
other adjudged him sane at the time
he committed the crime, and still
another pronounced him sane now" "

Welcomed.

Chicago, July 29.-The Dewitt

coaches, the first locomotive oper-

ago, and the old New York Central

record of 112.5 miles an hour which

which opens tomorrow.
Greeted by the shrieking whistles
Of its giant modern prototypes, the
Dewitt Clinton train arrived on the
outskirts Of the city on the fiat
cars on which it made the trip from
New York. Here it was unIoaded
and men and women, attired in the
costumes worn in 1881, got on top
of the coaches and the little engine
steamed through the city under its
own power, looking as it did 80
years ago when it ran between AL
bany and Schenectady. The whole
engine weighs less than a pair of
wheels of a modern locomotive and
its limit of speed is 10 miles an
hour. The famous 1893" followed
the Dewitt locomotive and as the
engine that reached the pinnacle of
fame as the greatest of high
speed" locomotives, drew nearly as
much attention.
She was driven by Charles Ho-
gan of Buffalo, who handled the
throttle in her record breaking
trip on May 10. 1898. The erstwhile
pride of the Central looked Just as
she did back in the '90s even to the
legend Empire State Express" in

ACTION OF JAPS
ON DISARMING
MEET PLEASES
Harding and Hughes
Very Happy OUer
Outlook.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus. }


Washington, July 29.-The Unit
ed States government is proceeding
on the assumption that all the pow
ers Including Japan will approach
the subject OF a program for the
disarmament conference with a
desire to get results and not to use
the meeting as a vehicle for an in
term1nable discussion of interna-
tional problems.
Japan's acceptance of America s
invitation creates in Washington a
most favorable effect. 1t is true
there are some phrases in the jap
anese reply which appear to be a
qualification, but the important
TACT to bear in mind is that Secre-
tary Hughes doesn't regard it as a
qualified acceptance. When Japan
said. problems should be omitted
from the discussion WHICH are of
sole concern to certain particular
powers" and that matters be ex-
cluded which may be regarded "as
accomplished facts" it was possible
to construe her words as a sort of
warning against too much optim-
ism concerning her attitude but
Mr.. Hughes, who is a distinguished
lawyer, doesn't have that impress
sion and looks upon the Japanese
statement as legal "caveat" some
thing which the United States or
any other power would feel free to
express before entering any con-
terence. The Japanese are eau
uous and do not want to seem to be
agreeing to reopening of all far
eastern questions. 1t is an import
ant thing that they agree to discuss
far eastern questions at all for the
japanese have always shown a re-
luctance to throw all their prob
lens into the hopper for a discus
sion by outside powers. If America
were asked to submit to any ques-
tions affecting Central or South
America, there would surely be op-
position. When the Monroe doc
trine was mentioned in connection
with the League of Nations, Ameri-
can senators insisted that not only
must the doctrine be omitted from
the scope of the covenant but no
question must ever be permitted to
come before the league affecting
the doctrine in any way.
Grateful to Japan.
In view of this history, the Off
cial feeling here is one of gratitude
to Japan for taking so broad a view
of the problems of the world and
being willing in the first place to
discuss far eastern questions in a
special international conference
and, secondly, placing only a slight
limitation on the character of the
subjects to be discussed.
The phrase problem of sole con-
Germ to certain powers" is con-
structed here to mean that Japan
may feel it wise to urge the omis-
sion of the immigration question if
it comes up for she believes she
can adjust it much more easily by
direct negotiation between herself
and the powers concerned than
through a general parley. The
United States government might be
disposed to take similar view.
OF course, II Japan insisted that
the Yap question was an "accomp-
lished fact" the United States
| would point out that France and
