new WORKERS IN PANIC
OVER BANDITS BATTLE
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, Dec. IA gun bat
tie between the hostile bandit gangs
brought hundreds to the street in a
panic at Forty-Seyenth street and
Broadway today.
Scores of shots were exchanged by
the combatants, who raced about the
vicinity in automobiles.
The breaking of plate glass win
dows, mingled with the rattle of guns
and roar of motor exhausts, awak
ened sleepers for blocks.
Some one among the men and wo
men who darted about the sidewalks
and Railways in night clothes as the
bullets hummed periously near put in
a riot call for police. When the re
serves arrived the bandits fled, TAX
ing any of their numbers that might
have been wounded with them. Two
men, alleged to be gangsters, were
captured.
Two automobiles, riddled by bull
let's, were discarded by the thugs.
Orders for hospitals to promptly re
port all gunshot wound cases were is
sued by police, who believe several
men were hit in the fighting.

Strong Objection to
League Control
(Ry Associated Pressl

LAUSANNE, Dec. 1.-THE question
of how control of the Turkish straits
will be administered-wheth through
some body under the League of Ma
tions or under some international unit
wholly separated from the leagues
being generally asked by members of
the Near East conference delegations
which have no representatives among
the military and naval experts who
are now discussing the straits prob
lem informally with the Turks.
1nasmuch as Russia, Turkey and
America are not members of the
League of Nations there would doubt
less be strong objection to any plan to
make control of the straits league
affair.
to plan for the administration of the
waterway and then only in the most
Indefinite way, saying that it had not
been decided whether regulation of the
straits would be placed under the
league or some other organization.
Reds Denounce League.
Ismet Pasha and his Turkish asso-
ciates are little more friendly to the
league idea than are Foreign Minister
Tchitcherin and the other BoIshevik
leaders, who denounce it at every op-
portunity, decliring that the organi-
cation of nations is useless, inasmuch
as the United States does not belong.
Although some of the French dele
gates have been striving hard to get
the conference to declare Christmas
holiday, the organizations are in such
an uncertain state that Lord CurZon
and many other delegates regard a
long vacation as undesirable. 1t now
seems unlikely that there will be a
cessation of the discussions for longer
than Christmas day, unless it is pos
sible to sign some sort of tentative
agreement or protocol before that
time.

REPRESENTATIVES TO
PRESERVE HARMONY
rRv United PressJ

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 11.-Repub-
lican representatives in the state leg
islature were urged by Governor Nc
Cray today to work in harmony in the
January session and preserve their 81
to 48 margin over the Democrats.
Any insurgency, any factional
strife, the governor warned, will throw
control of the session to the Demo
Gratis and jeopardize Republican party
policies.
The governor was more emphatic in
this respect than he was to state SEN
ators who met at his call some time
ago, because the senators had safe
working majority.
To the representatives, as he had
done with the senators, McCray eau
toned against abolishment of three
state bodies approved by the G. o. P.
and endorsed by him.
Bodies To Retain.
The tax board, highway commission
and public service commission are an
integral part of the state government
he said and must be retained. There
is already a movement among the law
makers to wipe out the three com
Missions.
Aside from these matters, McCray
was prepared to ask the representa-
tives to appropriate more money fol
removal of the reformatory from JEFF
fersonville to Pendleton, to levy tax
on gasoline, to amend the law which
provides the state fair grounds cannot
be bonded for improvement, to enact a
law classifying motor busses as com
mon carriers and placing them under
state regulation and to eliminate tax
exempt securities.

HIATT CASE WILL Be
HEARD IN NEXT Term

BY agreement Of Prosecutor Paul
Beckett and attorneys for the defense,
the case of Edgar F. Hiatt, deposed
president of the Dickinson Trust com
pany, charged in an indictment with
embezzlement, growing out of the al
legged substitution of unacceptable Sc
curities for acceptable ones in the as
sets of the bank, was continued until
the next term of court.
Prosecutor Beckett said the case
was continued because the time in the
present term of court is too short to
hear the evidence. The court docket
also, he said, is crowded. That the
case would not be heard today has been
generally known for some time. The
case will be set early in the January
term.

WAR AGAINST
MOONSHINERS
in KENTUCKY
Posse is RepulSed by
Slayers

MT. STERLING, Ky, Dec. Ire
pulsed with the death of one member
of posse formed yesterday to cap
ture the slayers of R. E. Duff, killed
by moonshiners Saturday, federal and
sheriff's forces had today abandoned
immediate attacks and were counsel
ling with state authorities as to fur
ther steps to be taken.
With the death of David Treadway,
in yesterdays attack, the score was
entirely in favor of the mountaineers.
Treadway was shot from ambush, but
few yards from the spot where Duff
was slain. Bob and Charles Ballard,
brother leaders of the Ballard gang,
are the two specifically sought. Some
where in the mountains among paths
and byways unknown to the officers
but familiar to the outlaws the pair
are hiding out, probably surrounded
by kinsmen and friends, officers as
sert. Their willingness to fight is at
tested by yesterdays death, authori
ties point out.
Get Only Glimpse.
Only glimpse of the moonshiners
was obtained yesterday. Two appear
ed on a neighboring hilltop just after
Treadway was shot. They had heavy
calibre rifles, equipped with silencers,
members of the posse said. Governor
Morrow has been requested to post re-
wards of $500 each for the Ballard
brothers.
The deaths of Duff and Treadway
climax Menifoe county's long war
against moonshiners. The posses
searching for the men who shot Duff
had a few minutes before uncovered a
still and destroyed 1,400 gallons of
whiskey mash. They were preparing

five REASONS WHY CHURCH IS INDISPENSABLE
TO MAN PRESENTED BY REV. C. M. WOODMAN

Five reasons. why the church is val
liable to the individual in his personal
life were presented and discussed by
the Rev. Charles M. 1Voodman, pastor
of the West Richmond Friends church,
in the second of his three sermons on
the general subject of Church Attend
ance," which he delivered to a capac-
ity audience at the church Sunday
morning. The subject of the sermon
was "The Value of the Church to the
Individual in His Personal Life"
The speaker summarized the rea-
sons why people do not go to church,
as taken from a number of printed in.
terviews with non-church-goers issued
recently, as those which are purely
personal, those which claim that the
church does not minister to the needs
of the individual, and those which as
sert that the ministry does not adapt
the message to the needs of the people
He stated that the general attitude
of those who do go to church is to
offer rebuttal of these reasons, in
stead of attempting to offer the con
structive reasons why the church is
valuable asset to the individual il
his personal life and his social rela
tions. The speaker devoted his time
in his sermon to presenting the rea
sons why the church is valuable tC
the individual in his personal life re

phases of the subject until next week
