HUGHES DENOUNCES
SUNDAY BLUE LAWS
Sees Great Danger to Country
In TyrannicaI Enforcement
Of Religious Views.

Attempts to enforce religious be-
liefs by civil law. including the
Sunday pleasure and blue" laws.
were characterized by Secretary OF
State Hughes as one OF the great
dangers Americans face today, in
an address at the laying yesterday
afternoon Of the cornerstone OF the
National Baptist Memorial to Roger
williams and religious liberty at
Sixteenth street and Columbia road
northwest.
"The hardest lesson mankind has
had to learn" said Secretary
Hughes, "is that the religious truth
which Is held to be most precious
cannot prosper by attempts forcibly
convictions. especially religious con-
victions, are apt to develop tyran-
nical purpose, and no faith is so
pure but that II is ever in danger
OF being made the instrument Of
the mistaken zeal of those who
would deny to others the right to
think as they choose"
Religious Liberty Needed.
Secretary Hughes declared that
the two most precious heritages Of
the American people are civil and
religious liberty and that their
continued existence, separate one
from the other" should be zealously
guarded.
"If there are any," he said, who
would pervert our institutions to
make them. servants of religious
dogma, they should be regarded as
enemies of both religion and the
State, as the success of their en-
deavors would undermine both"

DWYER ATTEMPT|N
To REGAIN CHILDREN
PIasterer Charges Persecution
and Opens Habeas Corpus
Proceedings in Court.

Assailing the Board of Children's
Guardians for what he says is un.
warranted perseCtion. Elmer F.
Dwyer, of 2916 n street northwest.
yesterday declared that he will not
be content until he has returned to
him the three children removed last
fall by order OF the Juvenile Court.
Dwyer has filed in the District
Supreme Court a habess corpus
petition asking that his children be
turned over to him by the
Board of Children's Guardians
who originally seized them follow
ing his marriage to Miss Julia
Coyle, three weeks after the death
Of his first wife.
A hearing on the petition will be
had before Justice Hitz on May 2S.
w. Bissell Thomas, counsel for
Dwyer, stated that the court will
be asked to give safe conduct for
Ethel Dwyer, one of the children
involved in the proceedings, and
now living with a family in Vir-
ginia. The other two children are
with the family engaged by the
board to care for them.
Ethel escaped some time ago from
a home in Tennallytown, where she
had been farmed out. The board
charged that Dwyer aided her In
making her. escape.
One month ago, Dwyer says, two
policemen came to his home during
his absence and make search OF
the place. They were there at the
instance of the Board OF Children's
Guardians.
Dwyer complains that he made
repeated efforts to see Ethel, his
daughter, and present food, fruit
and clothing, but was denied that
privilege by the Board of Children's
Guardians.
Dwyer declares that his children
will never be able to have the ad.
vantage OF real home life in homes
other than his own. He says that
he wants to give his two daughters
a musical education, but that such
course will be impossible so long
as they are in the care of others
and he is not permitted to com
municate with them.
II Ethel comes into the District
on May 2S to appear at the habeas
corpus hearing, Dwyer's counsel
wants to throw every safeguard
possible about her to prevent the
Board OF Children's Guardians from
taking her in custody. The court
will he asked to guarantee safe
conduct.

3-MILLION DOLLAR
STYLE SHOW IS OFF
Better Business Bureau De-
nounces It As Giant Get
Rich-Quick Scheme.

Failure OF the $4,000. 900 style
show exposition, to have been held
in Washington. was announced yes
terday by F. Y. Wholley. head OF
the Washington Better Business
Bureau, who declared that the pro
posed exposition was 'one of the
most stupendous 'get-rich-quick
Wallingford schemes that has been
unearthed here for many years"
This story begins two months ago
when the promoter, Thirty per
cent" J. c. Collins, vice president
and general manager Of the L. S.
exposition. arrived in Washington.
Collins plan was simple. He had
organized a 100000 exposition
corporation, to stage a mammoth
show in Washington next Septem-
Der. The revenue was to have been
secured by charging merchants
space for their exhibits, and an
admission fee to the general pub
lie" Mr.. Wholley said.
I'VE were assured that no stock
would be sold. Mr.. Collins plan, II
carried out, sounded logical and II
actually accomplished. would have
drawn large crowds to Washington
during the exposition.
THE initial meeting OF business
men with the promoter was held
and one Of our papers played the
story big. Then the dirty work
began.
Subsequent investigation de-
veloped that Collins had played
both ends against the middle, going
from business man to business man,
assuring each that he had secured

IMMINENT OVER
WAGE CUT ISSUE
Employees Declare Washington
Will Go Without Bread If

Washington bakers and employing
bakers are still in disagreement over
wages. Efforts of E. H. Dunnigan,
conciliator of the Department of
Labor, have been fruitless. Unless
some agreement is reached this

Fight Over Wage Scale.
The disagreement comes over plans
OF employing bakeries to decrease
the present wage scale from 80 to
80 cents an hour for day work. and
81 to 80 cents an hour for night
work.
This is the second time in
twelve months that Washington has
faced a bakers strike. The last
disagreement was settled by John
Colpoys, Labor Department concila-
tor.
Union officials say the situation
is serious, and that the bakers will
not stand for a reduction in wages.
John G. Schmidt, secretary and
business agent Of Bakers and Con-
fectioners' Union, Local No. 11S, is
representing the 900 bakers.
Thus far all of our conferences

Farm Loans Call Out
20 Millions a Month

Heavy demands of the farmers
for credit are exhausting Farm
Loan Board funds at the rate OF
$2O, 900, 900 a month. Chairman Lob
dell of the board announced last
night.
Extensions now made to the
farmers are from the funds made
available through the sale of the
recent offering Of $75,000,O0 farm
loan bonds by the Secretary of the
Treasury.
The needs of the farmers for
liberal accommodations to aid them
in crop plans, probably will make
necessary another issue Of farm
loans bonds before summer arrives,
in the opinion of Treasury experts.
