 The keynote address. delivered by Senator James E. Watson, declared that efficient and wise management by the Harding administration Of the nations affairs, both foreign and do- mestic, had accomplished substantial results in relieving "the evils of eight years of Democratic misrule." Wat sons speech, which the convention delegates punctuated with frequent outbursts of applause, was regarded by political leaders as an official ad- ministration utterance, having been discussed in advance with President Harding.
 For more than two hours, Watson recounted the record of the Harding administration. declaring the admin istration needs no apologist," and that the merest recital or accomplish ments is it's vindication.'

Both Senator Watson and Beveridge appar- ently agreed on foreign affairs, the senator declaring the Harding policy was that of national independence. while Beveridge asserted that this ma tion should be guided by the policies of Washington and Lincoln"

 Offense Against Church

DIES MONIES, Iowa, May 24.-The Rev. Dr. John McElmoyle, was guilty of no offense against the church when he married 1000 couples in a year, and gave his town. Elkton, Maryland, the name of the "Gretna Green of the East" was the finding late today of the judicial commission of the Presby- terian Church in the United States of America, which whitewashed McEl- moyle, but sustained the act of the Presbytery of Newcastle, dissolving his pastorate relations with his church.
 Most of the marriages performed by McElmoyle joined soldiers, many of them from Camp Mead, Maryland. in wedlock with young women of the Bal timore district. McElmoyle became one of the best known marrying paTs- ons" on the Atlantic seaboard, to the annoyance of the Presbytery of New castle.

 The only action taken today by the majority, was the appointment of a subcommittee consisting of Senators Curtis, Mclean and Sutherland to hear Representative Mondell of Wyom iag, the Republican house leader, rela- tive to submitting the pending recla- nation bill for the land settlement feature of the bonus measure which the senate committee Republicans have agreed to strike out of that bill.
 Members of the house from some of the western states have conferred with Mir. Mondell and members of house steeding committees in an ef- fort to get preference for the reclama- tion legislation.

 Officials today apparently remained as ignorant Of the secret hold which Peters and his band of alleged black mailers may have had on Ward as on last Saturday, when the young man surrendered a week after Peters had been found shot to death near the Kensfco Reservoir, where Ward claimed to have gone for a meeting and been forced into a pistol duel.
 District Attorney Weeks asserted positively that he knew of no woman connected with the case. His asser- tion was made after he had been questioned by reporters concerning a woman alleged to have been seen frequently in the company of Peters and two other men who might turn out to be Charley Ross" and Jack, the two NSl6TlOuS IlloSliS AilCAA NAAO were alleged by Ward to have been present when the pistol battle ragged.
 Reports received here stated that this woman had disappeared from Broadway resorts she used to ire quent and it was understood that a search was being made for her to determine whether she could give any clew to the whereabouts Of Peters temptations.
 New York reports stated that the young woman, described as dainty dresser, had often been seen with Peters, shabbily attired, in her high priced car, at the race tracks.
 Mir. Weeks said tonight that he did mot wholly accept the story that two other men were present when Ward shot and killed Peters. He said he did not mean to infer that he had lost belief in Wards black mail story entirely, but that he thought the presence of the roadster from which two other men fired, ae- cording to Ward, was questionable.
