BANDITS GET S5,OOO IN
 GEMS BUT MISS $45,OOO
Robbery in Ritz Carleton Hotel-Charley Chaplin
 Glasses Robbers

New York. Oct s.-Three armed men early today held up inc night manager and several employees Of the Ritz Carleton hotel and robbed jewelry store off the lobby of sb.ooo worth of gems.
 The robbery occurred at 2:3o q. m. Charlie Chaplin. who entered the hotel lobby 15 minutes after the bandits fed, was the first outsider to learn of It. Not until i've hours lator. after hotel employees had tried 10 trail the robbers and failed. was the holdup re- ported to the police.
 The bandits fled when special of ficer on his rounds of the hotel dis covered what was going on. They left $45,000 worth of jewels in the smashed case.
 Chaplin joined the officer and the night manager in following the ban dits. They learned that the bandits believed by the hotel doorrnan to be guests, starting off on an early morn ing adventure, helped them through the revolving doors and into the auto mobile which drove up as they emerged.
 George A. Weller, night hotel de- tective, probably owes his life to moment of indecision on the part of the man at the case. who covered the detective with a revolver as he ran down the curving stairs from the meg zanine balcony, tugging at revolver as he ran. The bandit, his gun drawn, wavered for moment and fled without firing.
 No shots were fired during the rob- bery. The only sounds were sharp spoken words of command from the man with the revolver. the crash of glass as the case, the property of Theodore B. Starr, Inc, was broken and the pad of running feet over the thick carpets of the lobby.

GIANTS AND YANKEES
 TRADE FIELDS TODAY
Each Getting Familiar With the Others Home
 Grounds

New York, Oct. s.--Giants anc Tanks traded playing fields today fo' the first intensive workouts in prep aration for the combat for world baseball honors that starts Wednes- day afternoon fin the games greatest plant. the Yankee stadium.
 The use by the teams of rival parks was agreed upon in order that the players could accustom themselves to the autumn lights and shadows in both places. In the Polo Grounds especially, the shadows cast by the rocky crags of Coogan's Bluff are wont to deceive the baseball eye while in the Yank park the towering stands and the broad sweep of the field pro- vide contrast that McGraw is eager for his men to know.
 Waiter Pipp. the Tank first base man whose injured ankle has been causing Miller Higgins a lot of anxiety was permitted today to join his team mates at practice. Huggins was to watch him work and decide whether the ankle was sufficiently mended to warrant starting him at the initial sack in the series. Should Pipp be unable to play Huggins will be compelled to make several changes in the lineup. In such an emergency Ruth probably would be sent to first and one of the utility outtielders de- tailed to his post.
 McGraw has nothing to worry about. He is anxious however that his batting crew get to work with their bludgeons and will drill his pitchers in control.

catch glimpse of the man who Is | popularly known as the best-loved
 man in northern Europe. Under the
 official escort, which the city of New
 York always furnishes distinguished
 visitors, the party was conducted to City hall where the primate was re- ceived and welcomed by Acting Mayor
 Hubert. On the following day he
 proceeded to Washington to pay his respects to President Coolidge.
 Will Lecture At Colleges
 The primate of Sweden comes to America in response to invitations from various sources. The Lutherans in America have invited him as well as the federal council of churches of Christ, the Church Peace union and the American Scandinavian founda- ton. The archbishop will lecture at the following universities: Harvard. Yale, Clark, Brown, Columbia, Chi cago university, and the University of California, and will preach and lecture in some thirty church. He will remain in America until December s.
 Favors Christian Unity
 Archbishop Soderblom is the Euro pean leader of church movements for world peace and he will doubtless have much to say to America on this subject. He is an advocate of Chris tian unity by the process of working together at common tasks. We of the evangelical faith" he says, have to consider three propositions in our ef- forts to unite the Christian churches for the good of the shattered world. The first way is that of the Roman Catholic church, and means that we must align ourselves with the Roman and acknowledge the sov- ereignty of the Pope. The second way Is for the Church of Rome to rec ognize. with us, that there Is true salvation and spiritual unity in the manifold forms of the evangelical faith. The Roman church as such will not join with us yet in our be- lief. We cannot join with them un- der their conditions. The only re- way is union of all the churches, based on charitable mutual respect and hearty CO., operation"
 Archbishop Soderblom's life has | been picturesque. Born in the north | If Sweden and educated in Sweden's | great university of Uppsala, he made lis first journey south of Stockholm '3 years ago, when he came to the ! United States as student. He visit d Harvard and Yale, became ac- luainted with John K. Mott, then or the Christian Student move nent and finally met Dwight l.. Ioody, the evangelist. He was deep y impressed with the simple and traight-forward manner of handling eligious matters in America.
 Was Rector In Paris Church
 For seven years he served as the ector of the Swedish church in Paris, rected in 1925. when France and weden were allies.
 During this time he developed a breadth of mind. His .ork took him into the slums. where e learned how ''the other half" lives. Te there met many of the leading 1eologians of the day. He wrote con- tantly and soon became known iroughout Europe as an authority n religion. He did not confine his ritings to discussions of the Chris an church. hut delved deep in scien- fic research and sought to reconcile ,Iigion with, science. In 1901 he returned to Uppsaia as
