Three Solutions Possible

Among possible actions by the COM
mittee arc;
Recommendation that the as.
sembly empower the moderator to Rp
point a special committee to investi-
gate the alleged heresy utterances of
DR.. Fosdiok, who is Baptist minister
preaching in a Presbyterian pulpit.
This would sidetrack a definite report
until the next general assembly.
Second-A complete surrender to the
demands Of the writer's Of the "Phila-
delphla overture" which would result
in instructions to the New York Pres.
bytery to prevent DR.. Fosdick preach.
ing in any Presbyterian pulpit.
Third-A complete Ylndicaion Of DR..
Fosdick and the New York Presbytery.
Fosdick Has Friends
An effort to postpone definite action
would give Bryan an opportunity to
answer the arguments of DIR. Fosdick
as advanced in his sermon, Should
the Fundementalists VIM"
1t is evident Fosdick has some sup
porters as some ministers and others
in the Philadelphia Presbytery have
sent copies of a protest against tho
action proposed in the philadelphia
overture"
II a controversy arises, 1t will be
purely doctrinal.
In q public address Sunday, he an.
roUnced that he would champion a
resolution calling for the signing Of a
Total abstinence pledge on the part
OF all college presidents. professors,
ministers and church officials.
An effort was made by negroes rep
resenting the colored Presbyteries to
have every section Of the church and
also the various groups" represented
on the four new boards.
The assembly resolved that 'it Is
the sense of the assembly that radical
groups be given representation on the
boards of the church as soon as pos
sible and as far as may be eXpedient."

Suggested Divorce.

II then suggested that he divorce
both women and then marry the one
that was his choice. I believe he
would have done this, but I feel that
he was afraid He promised his father
he would straighten It out"
when I finally learned for certain
that Joe was married again and that
he was in fear I felt must endure It
all for the sake Of little Joe" said Mrs.
Dorothy Davis. II loved him and I
know he loved me, because he always
came to see US when It was possible.

would leave money In the bank for our
support. Since I have taken this
roomlng house I knew that It was
hard on him and told him to only let
me have enough to pay the house
rent, which no did.
He used to come here to SEQ me,
but was so afraid he would drive up
the alley. He wrote mo letters ell

Professionals made capital in the
first hour Of the uncertainty created
in the speculative community by APP
prehension over the immediate bust
ness outlook and stocks again turned
heavy, following a brief period of
betterment at the opening. Baldwin
was depressed below Mondays bottom
and other active industrial issues
yielded their early gains.
Second Hour
Stocks developed huge volume on
the side of declining prices around
noon and further new low prices were
made throughout the list. Steel COM
mon, Studebaker, Baldwin and Du
pont were prominent among the lead
ers to be depressed to new low levels
for the decline, but the trading pace
suggested the transfer Of stocks from
weak to strong hands. Buying could
be traced to some of the leading
banking interests.

the population of the Ohio peniten-
tiary is employed outside the walls
Of that institution. Prisoners have
been permitted to go unaccompanied
to various parts of the state to visit
sick relatives and to attend funerals.
and not once has the warden's conf
dence been betrayed.
The honor system has solved the
housing problem at the Ohio peni-
tentiary. for without the prison farm,
brick plant and other outside places
of employment for honor men, the
state institution could not care for
the greatly increased prison popula-
tion, which now is at it's peak.

 After a song by several little girls, the Legislators were called upon for a talk and each in turn spoke on the Territorial College of Agriculture and Mines at Fairbanks. Every phase of that most important institution of Alaska was thoroughly described and so interesting and entertaining were the talks that much benefit was de- rived therefrom.

GLORIA SWANSON LAST TIME AT LIBERTY

Gloria Swanson has fully estab. lished the claim to being one of the best dressed women on the screen. and at the Liberty Theater last night she offered fuller and more conclu- sive proof, for she is playing the title role of a picture which has as It's central theme. the beautiful dress ing of 8 beautiful woman. This pie tuTe is Her Husbands Trademark, a Paramount production, and it5 theme is founded on the strange creed of a man who believed that a show of wealth would attract wealth, and believing thus, gowned his wife in most extravagant fashion. B he built his creed on a falsc as7ump tion and his plans came tumbilr9 down with such completeness that they resulted in his death. t all makes strangely unusual story, forceful. dramatic, tense. As al ex- ample of the lavish dressing 3f ehe woman, the central character, it has seldom if ever been equalled and Gloria Swanson is surely a perfect wearer of gowns in addition to her uJdoubted ability as an actress.
