Freight Wreck Holds Up Traf- fic For Hours And Pre-
 vents Ball Game

LIvINGSTON, Ala, April 29.-tSpe- cial)-Discovery of two mules bound securely to the tracks in a cut near here last night just before a south bound passenger train was due more than likely prevented serious wreck. On the train were the Bir- mingham and New Orleans baseball teams. wheich were en route to New Orleans for a game.
 It was by a curious coincidence that the mules were discovered by a wrecking crew which was on it's way to salvage 10 freight cars which left the tracks a few miles out of Living ston.
 As result of the freight wreck the passenger train was held up for several hours and one game of the scheduled double header baseball game at New Orleans had to be can celed. A show troup was also rid. ing on the passenger train.
 An investigation has begun to es- tablish responsibility for the act which would have likely wrecked the train. Birmingham detectives were assigned to the case.

 Disperse CIergymen

MOSCOW, April 29.-Communist militiamen were called upon Sunday to disperse embattled clergymen at tending the all-Russian church con clave when row was precipitated by the suggestion of one delegate that some day there would be a revo- lution in the United States.

 You're from America. You will have a real brotherhood the same as Russia, after you have had a revolu- tion."
 The statement was the signal for heated arguments which later took a more serious form The meeting was adjourned and the clergymen con tinued their fiery arguments in front of the convention hall. It was then that the militia was called into ac- tion.
