 Beats Yale Riudls

Cambridge, Mass. May 13.-The Harvard track team. strong in the hurdles and field events. defeated Yale TO 13--5 to 64 2-15 in the stadium this afternoon.
 h winning Harvard hung up two new records fol the annual dual meet. The Crimson supporters gave gen erous share of the glory to Billy Burke. whose fleet legs carried him to handy victory in the mile run for the record and then responded to a great effort in snatching the sS0-yard dash by few inches from the fleet Tom Campbell of Yale. Burke ran the mile in minutes 19 4-5 seconds. replacing the mark of 4 minutes 2S seconds which has stood since R. w. Poucher of Yale placed 1t on the books In 1917.
 The other record was set by Har- yards star hurdler, R. H. Whitney, who made the 120-yard distance in 152-6 seconds, one-fifth of a second faster than the old time set in 1915 by another Harvard hhrdler.
 Competition throughout the meet was keen. Yale carried off most of the honors in the sprints and dis tance events, as well as the discus throw and the javlin throw. both new events for Harvard-Yale meet.

 fore Ecclesiastical Court in Troy June

Dr. Wilkin- son will be tried by an ecclesiastical court at Troy June 6.
 Administration Criticized
 Members of the Episcopal church in Alabama have felt for many months that an adjustment of the differences by some method was ne cessary. according to members of the church in Montgomery interviewed today. The administration of affairs of the church has recently been criticised by St, Johns. Montgomery; St. Thomas, Greenville. and the Church of the Holy Cross, Uniontown.
 It Is probable that much opposi- tion will develop, to the proposal for the creation of the office of bishop coadjutor at this time. Failing in this opposition. there will be an in teresting contest for the position. Among the names of leading clergy men mentioned in connection. with the office Saturday were: Rev. Wyatt Brown, D. D., rector of St. Michael and All Angels church, Baltimore; Rev. Louis Tucker, rector of Christs church, Mobile: Dean R. l.. McCready. Christ Church Cathedral of Louis vile, ky, and Rev. E. W. Gamble of St. Pauls church. Selma.
 Many of the churchmen are con tending that if bishop coadjutor is to be selected he should come from without the diocese of Alabama and ha ct .env tr hA frfN xrrfrt t~h now exists in the diocese. This con tention brings to the front the name of Dr. Brown of Baltimore. He for merly lived in Alabama but has been in Maryland for many years and has no interest in the frictions in the church in Alabama.
 Reports are that Bishop Beckwith will present the name of Mir. Gamble of Selma. rector of St. Pauls church.

The broadcasting station of tho Alabama Power company will send out Mothers Day program by radio this evening, beginning at s:3o o'clock. The program Is given above.
 Tomorrow night the company promises it's radio listeners one of the finest programs 1t has ever given. This program will be in the hands of Emil Levy and his Song Cycle Quartet" which will sing under his direction and with his accom- paniment. This quartet consists of Miss Rebecca Bazemore, Mrs. May Shackelford. Owen Gillespy, and Leon Cole. The power company takes particular pride In presenting these four distinguished vocalists.
 All four members of the quartet will render solos, titles of which will be announced later. Miss Bazemore and Mir. Gillespy will be the only two strangers to the multitude of lis- teners who have heard the company's programs, Mrs. Shackelford and Mr Cole having already sung at tNe broadcasting station.
 It is estimated that as many as 50,000 people listen in on w. s. Y" tAlabama Power company symbol) and the number is daily increasing. 1t being calculated by ono of the prominent distributors of radio sets that the number of sets owned in the Birmingham district alone has doubled in the last three weeks.
 Cards have been forwarded to the radio department of the power com pany from listeners hundreds of miles away. and the local artists who sing Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights are enjoyed by persons at great distances.

Montgomery, May 13.-(Special.)- J. Carlowville, Dallas county. without a railroad. postoffice or telegraph of- flee and with population of only about .250-has suddenly become in delibly impressed upon the minds of the people of Alabama just as Cha teau Thierry was impressed upon the minds of the nation when Americans first participated in a major battle of the World war.
 It all results from the recent call of Bishop c. NJ. Beckwith of the Episcopal diocese of Alabama for a special council at Carlowvil1e July. 5 for the election of bishop coadjutor. Just as Chateau Thierry was the first battle ground of the American troops. Carlowvil1e will be the first battle ground of the members of the Epis- copal church of Alabama. All will not be harmony in the ranks of the church when the council is called to order. It has been an open secret for many years that differences ex- isted in the Episcopal church, diff, ferences which placed the bishop on one side and some of the larger parishes on the other. These diff ferences are the cause of the interest in Carlowville and the meeting at Carlowville.
 CarlowvilIe Small Town
 Carlowville, which, figuratively speaking, has come from nowhere into here. is about IS miles from Selma by public highway, is three miles from Minter. a small town on branch line of the Louisville and facilities. The selection of this town for the gathering of churchmen from all sections of the state has caused the greatest interest. Alabama has a large number of Episcopal churche es and there are now about 9,T00 con- municants, about 6,500 of whom re- side in the northern part of the diocese. Every church will have it's representatives and some of the churches will have many. Nobody knows how Carlowville and Minter will be able to care for them.
 Differences which must come to a head at the Carlowville meeting have existed for many years. Episcopalians recall the controversies between the bishop and the late Rev. Edward D. Cobbs. for many years rector of St. Johns, Montgomery, and the late Rev, +. NJ. DuVall, rector of the Church of the Ascension, Montgomery. Bishop Beckwith recently preferred charges against Rev Richard Wilkinson of St. Johns, Montgomery. alleging that he violated a canon of the church and his ordination vows when Rabbi Wi1- Ham B.

L0NG'S FRIENDS ID
 OPPOSE KENNAMER
Will Seek to Defeat Nominal ton in Senate-RepubIi-

By HUGH ". ROBERTS Washington Bureau, Tho Age-Herald,
 ROO navfde0u R.,iIdtv~


 Washington. May 13-(Special.)- There will be an effort on the part of the friends of Pope M Long, chairman of the republican com mittee in Alabama, to defeat the confirmation of the nomination of Tom Kennamer to be United States Marshal in the northern district of Alabama.
 It is learned tonight that demo- cratic senators will ask that the confirmation be held up until such time as the friends of Long require to state their case against the nom inee. Senators Underwood and lief lin, however. will not interfere with Alabama republican politics unless charges are filed and sustained against Kennamer.
 There was surprise when the Pres ident nominated Kennamer. Long had always been discussed as cer- tain of the appointment, That he was turned down is regarded as a distinct victory for O. D. Street. of Guntersville. Alabama's member of the national committee. just as the appointment of A. R. Noble to be col- lector of the port Of Mobile was . defeat for Street.
 Tho fact that Kennamer was ap- pointed is regarded as proof posi- tive of the permanent break between tho two referees in Alabama, Long and Street. and as indication that the Kennamer family is slowly sew ing up republican politics in Ala bama. Charles Kennamer was given the Job as district attorney at the solicitation of Street. 1t is recalled.

 BREAK WITH BLOC
Farm Organization Not Show

By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau, Tho Age-HernId,
 800 Davidson Building.


 Washington, May )- Muscle Shoals has driven a wedge Into that inordinate and scarcely to be understood affection which ex- isted between the SAmerican Farm Bureau Federation and the so-called agrarian bloc in Congress.
 The American Farm Bureau Fed eration Is advocating today the accep- tance of the offer of Henry Ford. just as some months ago 1t advo- cated government ownership and op- era ation. But the agrarian bloc has not accepted the Ford offer. If it had. that offer would not be sus- pended like the tomb of Mahomet between heaven and earth.
 One of the most powerful members of the agrarian bloc is Senator Nor ris Of Nebraska. He Is chairman of the powerful committee on agricul- ture, from which the American Farm Bureau Federation secures the bulk of it's favors
 Chairman Norris stands for gov ernment ownership and operation or Muscle Shoals. He has denounced the Ford offer as ''unconscionable." The Announcement took place in the pres- ence of Gray Silver, Washington rep- resentative Of the American Farm Bureau Federation.
 Some weeks ago Silver declared himself satisfied with the position of. Senator Norris. He declared that Senator Norris stood first for gov ernment ownership. but that as soon as Senator Norris learned that gov ernment ownership could not be put over, he would sponsor the Fora offer.
 Today the situation is unchanged. Silver is not satisfied with the posi- ton of Norris. For Norris will never accept An offer which he regards as "unconscionable."
 And thus the farmers and their congressional bloc become alienated. Rut for long time the affection was as great as that which existed between Damon, and Pythias.

BARBER, ADMITTED FOE OF CITY BONDS,
 URGES NEW ISSUE
Former Commissioner Tells Small Street Corner Audi enCe He Is "Agin" Bonds
 Theoretically

Expressing confidence that
 should the s5,oO0.00o school bond
 issue be voted May 22 another
 S5,0O0,oo0 issue would he called
 for before half the original
 amount is spent, Arlie Barber,
 former commissioner of public
 safety, addressed small nudt-
 enee last night on the saIss cor
 ner, Second avenue and Nine
 teenth street. The second issue,
 Mir. Barber explained. would be
 called for on the grounds of ex-
 pansion which would be caused
 by the first s5,O00, ,000 issue.
 Before the small group gathered at the corner Mir. Barber outlined the early history of Birmingham and told of the rapid development along industrial lines. He pointed out the growth of building in tho city and compared it with the building pro- gram of the public school system.
 There is not school building in the Birmingham district which Is properly suited for the work. Either it Is overcrowded or it Is in a bad state Of repair and otherwise unfit
 .Don't let personalities choose
 which way y0u cnst your vote
 as the issue Is too big. It is
 greater than the newspapers, the
 commission and all the speak
 CTS in Birmingham. Think of
 the future and what depends upon
 tho proper education of the chf1-
 dren when you cast your vote."
 Mir. Barber also made an appeal for the negroes. He urged especially the building of a negro industrial high school.
 Let us take care of tho negro citizen also. Give them an up-to- date industrial high school and see how they progress"
 The speager invited anyone in the audience to take the stand and tell the audience any reason why the bond issue should not be votel. A few applauded the invitation but no one accepted 1t.
 In closing Mir. Barber reiterated his statement in regard to the ia- suing of bonds by cities.
 @Primariiy ! am against the issuance of bonds of my sort
 by municipalities. | am against this idea theoretically and prnc- fscR.Iy but in cases like this there fs n real crisis to be met . nnd I am for the issue. heart and souI.
 If the 5000, 900 school bonds are voted and tho s2,000.000 bonds for other purposes arc also voted Bir- mingham will grow so rapidly that before half of this amount is spent a new 5000, 900 issue will be asked. Of this I am confident"

SOONER WHEAT is SOLD
TO GENOA, ITALY

First sale of Oklahoma wheat to
Genoa, Italy, was made this week
when two boat loads were sold f. o. b.
New Orleans, according to D. B. Sib-
ley, sales manager of the Southwest
Wheat Growers Association, who
made the sale.
The wheat was all raised in Okla
homa and pooled by the Oklahoma
Wheat Growers Association. The
market was very favorable at the
time the wheat was disposed Of and
was sold direct to exporters. The
two boats contained $1,000 bushels of
wheat.
Much of the wheat is sold direct to
cereal manufacturers, exporters, for
eign countries, and in this manner the
best prices are obtained by the South
west Wheat Growers Association,

Oklahoma and Texas wheat is mar
keted.-Forgan Eagle.

RAILROADS AND STATE
MAKE A COMPROMISE

Compromise between the state
board Of equalization and the Rock
Island and Frisco railroads in tax
litigation which for months has tied
up public funds in fifty-five counties
in which these two railroads operate,
was reached Tuesday afternoon.
The case was settled on the follow
ing basis of total tax valuation in the
fiscal year, 1929: Rock Island,
sac, 100000; Frisco, $46,625, 900.
The figure the board attempted to
certify to the counties and which met
with a bitter protest from the rail-
roads, were: Rock Island, $48,250 :
900; Frisco, $52,625,OOO.
Attorneys for the roads announced
they would ask the federal district
court to dismiss injunction proceed
ings against the board, restraining it
from certifying the valuations to the
counties.
This action will Immediately re-
lease the funds for the counties which
have been tied up,
Upon receipt Of the certificates of
valuation from the state board of
equalization the county excise board
will meet and establish the levy for
this county 1t will then be possible
for the assessors office to figure the
tax.
Just how long it will be before the
valuation certificates are received is
problematical but it is generally thot
there will be very little delay AS
soon as the necessary preliminary
work is set aside, the county assessor
will begin work on figuring the
taxes for the county. 1t will be i'm
possible for this work to be completed
before the first of the year when the
new officers will take their places in
the court house, it is said.-Guymon
Herald.
