MICHIGAN CAPTAIN
Move Is to Guard Against Soviet
 ism iD Navy, Is Explanation

Washington, June 24.-Secretary Denhy has taken action on recommen- dation of Admiral H. B. Wilson, com mander-in- chief of the Atlantic fleet, to nip in the bud any tendency to ward soVietiSm in the navy. Captain k!ark D. StearnS of the battleship Michigan has been relieved for hay ing permitted his crew to discuss with him disciplinary matters vested only in the ships commanding officer.
 Captain Stearns issued the order which brought about his detachment with the approval of former Secre- ary Daniels, it is understood, but Sec retary Denby is said to hold that while the order was intended to inn prove morale of the enlisted person mel approved by the department Of the course would establish prece- dent that might injure discipline even to the point of setting up 'sovic' rule" in the navy.
 MT. Denby said today that the maintenance of discipline was vested hy statute solely in the commandinG officer of ships and that it was con trary to tradition and the established custom of American naval service to give the crews disciplinary authority, direct or advisory, to any extent. He denied, however, rumorS that another battleship captain had been relieved for allowing his crew to vote on which

The only other measure recon mcnded by the chamber, which was not acted upon by the General As. "culhlN. was ono which could not be considered as directly assisting the trolley companies in their present ff- u1ncial prCdiCament although 4 would indirectly benefit the ccmpan- les. by encouraging cooperation be tween the public and the companies. This recommendation was that rates "t fare should be based upon groups CT municipalities so inter-related as to riding habits as to make up a sys- lem essentially distinct from other groups of municipalities within which the same company operated. The vote of the chamber on this measure was l35 10 34 in favor of the rec concentration. It is suggested that Ibis mater be borne in mind, with d view to proposing it again when the legislature meets in 1923.
 Summary.
 The exact measure of the contribu- tion of the State Chamber to tho nro- curing of the passage. of an this leg islation Is. of course problematical. ! our committee feels however. that the fS@t that the chamber conducted am imrar'-~I investigation and pre- sented the facts to the public through the publicity given the reports of your committee to the board of di- rectors had considerable effect in making the people of Connecticut realize the seriousness of the trolley situation, and also the fact that the trollc%s were essential to them. It Is also felt that the unprejudiced ad- vice given by the chamber at hear lngs on each of the trolley bills held by tho different committees of the general assembly was Of value in as- sisting the committees in their delib- erations upon the bills before them.
 In conclusion. the committee would call your attention to the fact that

 The recommendations Of the tro1- ley investigation committee of the Connecticut Chamber Of Commerce, made to the directors or the Cham. Der in New Haven yesterday, should, If they get to the incoming legislature. as We assume that they will. receive careful consideration, which will, we believe, result in their enactment into laws. The conclusions arrived at by the committee are those of men with horse sense, who understand the traf- fic problems which must be solved. The whole report is eminent ly fair. with a square deal for all con cerned, and enough home rule about it to please those who think that it is tough to have to pay more than a thing is worth, in order to pay up for those who don't pay enough.''

 The order issued on the Michigan provided for a ship morale commit tee. to consist of four petty officers and ten other enlisted men.

MOVIES UP TO PASTORS
showing of Films in Topeka Churches
To Be- DiscrefiOnaI.

The showing of movie pictures as
part of the church services in Topeka
will. in future, be entirely up to the
pastors of the various churches. This
was the decision made this morning
when the Topeka Ministerial Union
met for a discussion of the question
at the Central Y. NJ. c. A.
After much sidestepping and the
making of many minor motions, which
failed to get to the heart of the dis
cussion. whether the Ministerial
Union Should Approve the Showing of
Moving Pictures at the Sunday Eve
ming Church Services" the majority
of the ministers attending the meet
ing insisted that a real motion be
made.
The Rev. Charles F. Matthews. of
the First Baptist church. made the
motion that the ministerial union ap-
prove the showing of moving pictures
at the Sunday evening church services
However. he explained that he was not
necessarily in favor of the motion, but
wanted the discussion to cover the
heart of the problem and have it dis
cussed from a constructive viewpoint
Several ministers threatened to re-
sign their membership in the union
if the motion was passed or rejected
as they considered it entirely out of
the line of the unions duty to do So
The Rev. John Wells Rahill, pastor
ct the Central Congregational church.
who was the first minister In Topeka
to introduce pictures at Sunday even
ing church service, stated that altho
he knew that some of the picture were
not of as high a quality as they might
be he thought it was the opportunity
of the church to get in and get the
best picture, and that by demanding
the best they would raise the quality
of the pictures.
An amendment to the motion ap-
proving the showing of the pictures
was made which stated that every
minister in the city should decide for
himself whether the showing of mo-
tiCn pictures in the church was proper
or not as it was a matter of a persons
conviction. The Rev. Mr.. Matthews
withdrew his motion and the amend
n'ent was made the main motion and
was passed.
The union also passed a resolution
tc the effect that the program commit
tee of the Kansas State Teachers asso-
citation should not ask Clarence S. Oar
row. of Chicago, to speak at future
conventions.
