BISHOPS PAWN
TCHES To
BAY DEBT
More Than Score Thus Help
N. E. Foreign Mission
Board

PHILADELPHIA, July o.. More
than q score of Methodist bishops
have pledged. their watches to
pay off the debt Of the Methodist
Episcopal Board Of Foreign Mis-
sions.
Bishop Joseph F. Berry's watch
b still in his own possession. His
friends declare that he probably
sent a check for 500 instead q
putting up his timepiece.
The bishops watch is one ~ the
handsomest in America. It was
presented to him by Mrs. Berry
upon one OF his birthday anniver-
saries several years ago.
A dramatic scene was enacted at
o meeting of the executive commit
tee of the board of foreign missions
IN New York city a few weeks ago,
when the question Of liquidating
the boards debt was considered.
Something had to be done innme-
diately; some unusual step must be
taken to impress Methodists
throughout the nation with the
seriousness of the crisis and make
them dig down into their pockets.
The suggestion was made that
those present start the fund with
contributions which represented a
real sacrifice. Somebody proposed
that the bishops and other clergy
give tneir watches, all of which are
highly priced by their owners.
Bishop Luther B. Wilson was the
first to respond by laying his watch
on the table. A dozen other bishops
and dozen clergymen and laylnen
followed his example. Within a
few minutes the table was almost
covered with watches.
Later Bishop Wilson redeemed
his timepiece with a check for
500.

days in Jail was imposed on
Edward III. Phillips for a first and
second sale and q charge OF manu-.
featuring. For a possession he was
fined 5000 or sixty days, and failed
to pay.
James Donovan drew a sentence
Of sixty days for sale and for one
possession was fined $3.50 or sixty
days, which was later suspended
and he was put on probation for a
year.
According to Mr.. Hart, three more
pocket bootleggers" will be brought
TO trial this week. Judge Schuldt
said the activities OF this group OF
men at Fourteenth and Pennsyl.

tention on more than one occasion
and that an example will be made

Mr.. Dawes said on Tuesday:

abnormal condition in this county,
existing because of lack of respect
Tor law, caused by widespread
demagogy in legislative bodies, in
part, by the weakness of many of
those commissioned to execute the
law, and, in part, by the existence
and activities of aggressive minority
organizations behind selfish purposes
Nearly two years ago-when Mr.
pawes was not running for Office
ne gave out what he then offered as
an expert explanation of the de-
cadence of Congress and the un-
soundness Of Federal legislation. He
was speaking at the dinner given
him by the New York section of the
national budget committee in New
York.
"One may pause to say that the
trouble with the subserviency of
congress) is the direct primary" de-
clared Mr. Dawes. Look what the
direct primary law has done to Con-
sress. Read the roster of Congress
and think what the names meant
70 years ago. and read it today.
Pusillanimous fellows
Spoke of Republican Congress-.
"One may pase to say that the
congress Mr.. Dawes was criticizing
at the time October 13, 1929, was
overwhelmingly Republican. 1t was
the Congress which enacted the
profteers' tariff and attempted to
pass the ship subsidy bill. 1t was
the Congress which the Republican
organization and the Republican
orators, perhaps including Mr. Dawes
VIII have to glorify in this cam
paign.
But Mr.. Dawes said harsher things
about this Republican Congress than
what has already been quoted from
this speech in New York Listen to
this:
The trouble is the cowardice of
Congress, men in office who would
barter the interests of their country
in order to stay in office. and if there
is any organized opposition, they run.
Look at the way they ran before
the organized minorities of the SOL
dier bonus bloc, the farm bloc, the
labor bloc, the maternity bloc, the
good roads bloc. The damned cow
ards run and run
