Depart Without Demonstra-
fion for War Luuu VioIutors.

WASHINGTON. April 30.-Some MEM
bers of the "Children's Crusade" organ
lied to obtain the release of la war
law violators now 81 rving time in Fed
eral prisons, quietly attended church un-
der the same roof to-day with President

after services had been begun in the
main part of the church and departed
before they were concluded.
There were no vacant seats in the
main part of the church when they ar
rived and ushers conducted them to the

CANDIDATES IN STATE
FACE LIQUOR ISSUE
Revolt Against VoIstead Law
Seen in Many Districts.

Special Dispatch to The NEW York HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany. April 30.
Congressional candidates in this State
must face the wet and dry question as
one of the big issues in the coming cleo
tion campaigns.
Reports from all over the State indi-
cate q growing demand on the part of
the voters for a showdown on the Vol
stead act. Many candidates already
have recognized this and have declared
maneuvering for position. Others are
being reluctantly forced to admit that
prohibition did not die as an issue with
the enactment of the Eighteenth Amend
nrent. The big vote which Frank Irvine
got in the recent Thirty-seventh district
election on a wet Democratic ticket has
pointed the way to the popular feeling
on the question. The Thirty-seventh
normally is a strongly Republican dis
trict
Enforcement Of the volstead act seems
already to be the main issue in the
Senatorial race. Senator William NJ.
Calder. the principal candidate. has
come out openly for a modification of
the act and is the object of bitter at
tacks by the Anti-Saloon League and
other prohibition organizations.
In the meantime Republican leaders
are anxiously awaiting the return OF
Gov. Miller to Albany. He is resting
after hard work on the thirty-day bills
left in his hands by the Legislature.
They believe that when he gets back he
will definitely announce whether he will
run for reelection. They are confident
that he will again accept the call, but
they recognize that only definite an
nouncement from him will stop the
maneuvring of other candidates.
Among those mentioned as ambitious
for he Gubernatorial chair are Attorney
General Charles ID. Newton and Speaker
II. f. Machold OF the Assembly.

ship Regarded as Directed

by LOUIS sEIBoLD.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW York H.RALp.
New York Herald Bu-rau,l
Washington. ID. c.. Apri. 30.
With a little encouragement an in
surgent movement which has been
smoldering in the House Of Repre-
sentatives for some time might be-
come a conflagration.
State leaders whose opinions are not
influenced by the judgment Of ma
tional legislators report growing dis
satisfaction among the men and
women voters over the failure of Con-
gress to function satisfactorily.
They attribute this failure to incom-
petent or misdirected leadership. A
large percentage of the Republican
members Of the House concur in the
opinion. In private conversation these
members bear testimony to the accu-
racy of the judgment Of the outside
leaders who are in touch with popular
sentiment in their respective States.
Selfish Chairmen Blamed.
Close observers inside assert that
discussion of Congressional conditions
in the cloak and committee rooms
largely reflects dissatisfaction with
the manner in which a small but arbi-
trary group of important committee
chairmen are manipulating legislation
for their own personal benefit and to
the decided disadvantage Of the party.
According to outside leaders the
Harding Administration and not Con-
gress has provided the only issues
With which to appeal for popular sup
port in the coming Congressional cleo
tions.
Members of the majority are begin
ming to realize this fact and discuss
the necessity for a readjustment of
party affairs in the lower House and
greater independence of the leadership
which is neither respected nor deemed
beneficial to party interests.
The stories brought to Washington
by the outside leaders or communi-
Gated to their spokesmen in Congress
are pretty much the same in sub
stance: Mr.. Harding is held in greater
respect than the Congressional repre-
sentatives of his party.
The balance sheet between the two
is cited to emphasize the contention
of outside leaders that the policies of
tho Administration are commanding
both respect and Endorsement among
voters. This Endorsement covers the
accomplishments of the Conference
for the Limitation of Armament, iso-
lation from the Genoa conference, the
insistence for adequate army and navy
protection, disapproval of the bonus
raid, the adoption of the budget sys-
tenn and the prospective enactment of
a satisfactory tariff law.

Man Eating Shark Shot

~ HILADELPHIA, April 30.--A
twelve foot man eating shark
was shot and killed in the
Delaware River at Tacony. 1t was
the first time shark ever had been
seen in that part of the Delaware.
and how it managed to get almost
100 miles from its native ocean is a
mystery.
The big fish was SHOT by Capt.

Fundn m entail Fault.

The fundamental fault of the con-
ditions prevailing in the lower House
is conceded by intelligent observers
to be determination of a great many
OF the members to play lone hand
in advancing individual ambition for
reelection at tho expense of the Ad-
ministration and general party inter-
ests This ambition is held TO be re-
sponsible for the unsympathetic atti-
tude of the leaders of the various
groups which have set up opinions
contrary to the policies of the Ad-
minstration.
The bonus program put through the
House by gag rule was significant in
this respect. Messrs. Mondell. Ford
ney and the other leaders decreed that
the bill which was FINALLY passed in
defiance OF the President and the
Treasury officials should be framed by

House Leaders In Conflict.

In most Of these undertakings the
attitude of the leaders of the lower
House has been in conflict with that
of the Administration. The House, of
course. has no voice in the ratifica-
ton of the decisions of the arms con-
ference. or the enunciation Of the
Genoa policy, both of which are re-
ported by outside leaders to have pro-
yoked the heartiest and most complete
popular support.
In every project in which the lower
House has exercised any influence the
policy Of the leaders of that body has
been antagonistic TO the Administra-
ton.
A great many members Of the
House fully concur in the opinion that
this lack of cooperation lies with the
leaders and not with the membership
generally.
Reluctance of Speaker Gillett to take
issue with some of the leaders mt the
head of the aggressive groups is held
to be responsible to an important ex-
tent for the failure of House leaders
to support the policies of the Presi-
dent and his executive advisers.
The surrender Oh the Speaker to tne
commands of Mr.. Mondell, the titular
leader OF the majority in the House;
Chairman Fordney of the Ways and
Means Committee. Chairman Madden
Of the Appropriations Committee. DIR.
Fess. chairman of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee, and Represen-
tative Longworth. who is forging to
the front as n possible successor to
Speaker Gillett in the next Congress.
on more than one occasion has re-
suited in a great deal of demoraliZa-
ton and the propagation Of consider
able insurgent spirit which has made
n significant gesture or two.

Rome, March 3 (by the Associated
Press The throat OF Enrico Caruso,
which was left at the time of his
death to the Naples museum for medi-
cal examination, was reproduced pic
torally by the Rome newspapers to-
day, which published the opinion Of
doctors who describe II as The most ex-

calization.
Carnso's vocal cords were twice nor
NAL length and his breathing power
was described as phenomenal. The
epiglottis was as thick as that of the
deepest bass singers, while its attach
ments to the tongue was Of such ma
ture as to permit the greatest rapidity
Of vibrations. this accounting for the
immense range of the great tenor's
voice. His lung power was so enormous
that he could make the cords of nj.
ano vibrate by merely breathing upon
them. The doctors describe Caruso's
lungs as those of superman. and de-
clare that from head to foot he was a
magnificent singing machine.

Granite Conference at Bur-
lington Adjourned in
Good Fec 'g
AFTER PARJ ING
FOR WO DAYS
Men Conceded Something
on Machinery But Want
So Per Day

The two days conference on a pro-
posed new agreement in the granite in
dustry in New England ended in Bur-
Iington yesterday afternoon without an
understanding being reached; and the
Barre members of the conference re-
turned to their homes last night and
this morning. Whether the conference
will result in another attempt shortly
| Is problematical at the present time;
but il is known that the Burlington
meeting between manufacturers and
quarry owners on one side and the I'm
ions ON the other was harmonious to
an unusual degree and lacked some fcs
lures which in years gone by have
brought in the spirit Of bitterness.
This spirit of more friendly relations
was such as to cause the public 10 hope
for the calling of another conference
at an early date, with fair chance for
reaching an agreement, it is thought,
without going through, another de-
structive deadlock destructive to all
concerned.
Adjournment of the conference fol
lowed the report of the sub-commit
tees yesterday afternoon that they had
been unab bic to agree on the matter of
wages. There WAS quite a variance on
that point as the manufacturers Of
fered to make the pay s6.40 a day in
stead of S6, as recently proposed, and
the granite cutters stood out for the
SIS day minimum which they have
been receiving. Both sides were quite
insistent in their stands, and when
that insistence was maintained through
many hours Of parleying ii was decided
by the subcommittee to report to the
main conference their inability to come
to an understanding
Such a report was submitted early in
the afternoon to the main conference.
and Mr.. Marnock, a Quincy manufac-
turer, moved that the conference end
its session. Such action was taken but
not until, as evidence of good feeling,
vote of thanks had been rendered to
James M. Boutwell,, chairman of the
granite owners hoard Of control, who
had presided over the conference.
AT the close of the conference john
secretary Of the Barre
branch, G. G. |. A., said:
AT conference to-day the man
ufaeturers requested Sl.G0 reduction
III the wage rate. The cutters offered
to take restrictions off machinery
which would have reduced the cost Of
production two or three times more
than the reductions asked by the man
ufacturcrs' committee. Both sides had
4 harmonious session and parted the
best of friends. A vote of thanks was
extended TO James N. Boutwell,, chair

sentenced to be hanged to-day, con-
tinued to lie in what many medical
men have termed state of self-im-

most hopeless efforts to obtain a stay,
and the sheriff announced his plan to
carry out the execution at 4 p. m. with
the helpless Church strapped in a chair.
Governor Small refused TO interfere
with the execution yesterday but
Church's attorneys still maintained
hope for an eleventh hour reprieve.
Humanitarian grounds would form
the basis for a writ Of habeas corpus.
Bcnnison j. Bartel, one of Church's at
torneys, said he would seek in criminal
court to-day.
Church's crime, which he confessed,
was the murder of Bernard j. Daugh-
erty and Carl Ausmus, automobile
salesmen. from whom he had indicated
he intended to purchase a high priced
motor ear. The men were lured to the
Church home. taken singly TO the base
ment handcuifed and beaten to death
