He attempted his escape twice, once

FARM-RAIL BILL
TO DECIDE DATE
OF ADJOURNMENT
Senate Awaits Action OF
House Which Is Con-
sidering Measure

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Develop
ments within the next few days will
settle the question as to whether or not
Congress will be able to adjourn in ad
vance of the national political conven.
tions.
Farm relief and railroad legislation
is the only stumbling block to the
fruition of plans of leaders of both OF
the major parties to wind up this SEES.
sion June Z.
The whole issue centers now around
the McNary- Haugen agricultural bill
and the Howell Barley proposal to
abolish the railroad labor board. Con-
sideration of both has been begun in
. the House. and the Senate is awaiting
action there.
The McNary Haugen bill will be side
tracked for at least three days this
week for other legislation, including &C.
ton on the tax revision conference re-
port and the naval construction bill.
Leaders plan to bring the McNary-
Haugen measure to a vote the latter
part of the week, but its friends con-
cede that the outcome is in doubt.
Other Farm Bills Pending
Defeat of the measure would throw
the farm relief situation in the air.
Several bills are pending in the Senate,
but efforts there to press them have
been withheld pending House action.
Should the McNary- Haugen bill be
defeated the farm bloc in the House
and Senate will make strenuous eff
fort to have some other form of relief
legislation enacted at the last minute,
or failing in that, will oppose the pres
ent plan for adjournment next month,
Il
tons.
At the beginning of what now is ex-
pected to be the final week of the ses-
sion, the Howell Barley bill will be
called up again with proponents mean
time seeking to obtain a special rule to
give it right of way. This maneuver
has been decided upon in the belief that
the republican organization intends to
continue its opposition with a view to
heading off vote.
Under High Pressure
With the tax bill conference report
disposed of, the Senate is prepared now
TO pass the postal pay increase bill and
the remaining appropriation measures.
1t will continue to work this week I'M
der high pressure and leaders hope to
have the calendar fairly we'll cleared of
everything except fLrm relief legislation
by the end of the week.
The resolution for American adhesion
to the world court probably will be
called up in the very near future with
view to discussion. There is little, if
any, probability of action at this ses-
sion, however.
Though some of the congressional in
vestigations have come to a close, others
still are in full force, and some are vet
TO get under way. Those still to be
started include those into aircraft ac-
tivties, the official conduct of Federal
Judge Baker of the northern West Vir-
ginia district, and the Northern Pacific
land grants. The Daugherty investiga-
ton will be resumed tomorrow, as will
be the Mayfield election contest and the
shipping board inquiry in the House.

LONGING FOR GOD
BISHOPS THEME
M'Murray Delivers Bacca-
laureate Sermon At
WOman's College
State Capital Bureaul

MONTGOMERY, Ala, May %
The searching of mankind for God and
the universal human longing for Di-
vine aid and inspiration in life's bat
ties was the theme of the baccalau-
reate sermon preached here this morn
ing the the graduating class of the
Woman's College of Alabama by Bishop
w. +. McMurray of st. Louis. Court
Street Methodist church was filled to
its capacity.
The text of the sermon was fIom
the 42nd Psalm: GAS the heart panteth
after the waterbrooks, so panteth my
soul after Thee, o God"
Bishop McMurray told of the uni
versatility among all the people of the
earth of religious worship in some
form. He referred to idolatry as the
religion of people who, without hav-
ing had the word of God revealed to
them, were driven to desperation, find
ing it necessary to make some mani
festation of the longing of all man
kind for the divine.
The surest proof of God is the
hunger for Him." Bishop McMurray
said. He mentioned that mems physi-
cal appetite is ministered to by the
fruits of the earth, that his love of the
beautiful finds satisfaction in nature,
and declared it to be unthinkabIe that
the spiritual instincts of the race and
the thirst for a contract with the eter-
nal should be a desire that cannot be
satisfied.
From this point. the bishop told of
the need of men and women seeking
after God, keeping their spiritual selves
attuned to Gods wishes and COM
mands, in order that they may find
Him. He warned against the tendency,
in the present era of material pros
perity, for man to become too salts
fled with his own works and to refuse
to submit to the discipline of God.
Worldly pleasures and material sue
cess can never adequately fill the hui
man hunger for God the speaker said :;
institutions of learning, businesses and
civilization which have attempted to
operate without God have come to
naught, man is at loss without God"
he said. "our business is to proclaim
Christ to the world that others may
know and understand and enjoy Him. :"
A beautiful musical program was
part of the service, under direction of
Miss Helen Irwin, head of the voice
department of the Womau's College,
the program including soprano solo
by Miss Elizabeth Robinson.
Glass day exercises will be held at the
Woman's college Monday at 6 80 p. m.
President Agnew will tender a reception
to the senior class at 9 p. NJ. The
commencement address will be delivered
by DIR. w. A. Smar ofEmory university
at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.

Breakdown To G. o. P. Power Drunk

his address, to ask the country, the
whole country, if it is willing to con-
tinue subservient to New England.
THE rule of Massachusetts" will be an
important subhead of his speech. APP
pealing to the progressive west and
south, Harrison will declare that Mas
sachusetts has:
The President of the United States !;
Senator Lodge, chairman of the power
full relations committee, which killed
the League of Nations; Representa-
tive Winslow, chairman of the inter-
state commerce committee, controlling
vital railroad legislation; Representa-
tive Gillett, speaker of the House; the
a new chairman of the republican ma
tional committee, Nicholas Murray
Butler, and John w. Weeks, Secretary
of War.
In emphasizing the domination of
"reactionary" New England, Senator
Harrison will publish the list of New
Englanders in Congress, in addition
to the foregoing who are in places Civ
ing them opportunity to achieve that
legislation which they desire, and to
strange that desired by the people.
To Reach Practical Subjects
The keynote address will involve

son will bitterly assail the republicans
for their treatment of the farmers, not
only because they failed to do anything
for the farmers, but because, in his
opinion, they promised to relieve their
burden aware all the while that they
would make no serious attempt to
do so.
The tariff will receive full and expert
treatment. In this legislation, also,
Senator Harrison, will contend, the
republicans purposely deceived the
farmers. He will point out that the
republicans, playing to the plutocratic
manufacturers of the east, attempted to
excuse the ''steal," by giving the farm
ers a modicum of protection which does
not protect. He will tell the country
that democrats offered amendments to
the Fordney -McCumber act putting
necessities which farmers buy on the
free list, and that such amendments
were defeated by republicans who, at
the same time, were pretending to act
in behalf of the farmers.
Senator Harrison will point out the
main argument of western farmers in
their present effort to put through
Congress the McNary-Haugen bill, pro-
viding for the price fixing of agricul-
tural products. That argument is that
inasmUch as the Congress has given
an artificial value to everything manu-
featured, it should give an artificial
value to those things produced by
farmers.

Mrs. Lydig Ends Bethrothal
To The Reu. Percy S. Grant
Bishop Manning's Objections To Marriage OF
Divorce Is Stated Cause Of Break

NEW YORK, May 25.-Mrs. Rita
de Acosta Lydig issued a formal an
nouncement Sunday night, breaking her
engagement to the Rev. DR.. Percy
Stickney Grant, rector of the Church
of the Ascension, because of the oppo-
sition of Bishop Manning, diocesan
head of the Protestant Episcopal
church.
The announcement read:
MRS. De Acosta Lydig of the Hotel
Chatham announces that her engage
ment to the Rev. Percy Stickney Grant
has been broken owing to the refusal
of Bishop Manning to give his con-
sent to marriage in the Protestant
Episcopal church"
Refused Sanction
Bishop Manning refused to sanction
the marriage because Mrs. Lydig's di-
vorced husband is still living.
Bishop Manning based his refusal
on canon of the church which stipu-
lates that no minister shall perform
a marriage ceremony for any person
who has been or is the husband or
wife of any person then living"
Mrs. Lydig's first husband was w.

washington Bureau

WASHINGTON. May 25.-The
main essence of the keynote address to
be delivered by Senator Pat Harri-
son of Mississippi, before the New York
convention, will be neither the ideal
ism which characterized the administra-
ton of the late President Wilson, nor
the scandals which characterized the
administration of the late President
Harding.
At the same time there will be a
forceful treatment of each, and the
discussion will be so directed as to
indicate to the country what all demo-
Gratis in Washington believe, namely,
that the scandals of the Harding and
Coolidge regime could not have OBJ
tanned but for the smashing of the Will
son idealism.
Senator Harrison is expected to de-
clare that the republican politicians,
having checked Wilson, were ultimately
deceived into believing that the public
was so firmly behind them that they
could do whatever pleased them; were
deceived into believing that the govern
ment was theirs not to be administered
but theirs in fee simple; that this de-
ception resulted in drunk from power,
and a delusion of grandeur, one of
the recognized forms of insanity,
Ready For Other Topics
This idea will exhaust the senator's
references either to republican scan
dals or the Wilson idealism, which is
expressed by 'the League of Nations"
Senator Harrison does not believe that
the nations sense of honor and respon-
sibility is dwarfed, or that the nation
has overlooked the era of unprese-
dented official graft and debauchery.
But it is his opinion that the nation,
having taken cognizance of the facts,
and having reached a conclusion as to
what it should do in way of rebuke
and punishment, is ready to turn to
other topics. Likewise, the senator
does not believe that the people are I'M
mindful of the necessity of interna-
tional cooperation to the end that war
might disappear from the face of the
earth.
At the same time, he does not re-
gard it as wise or essential that the
democrats enter the presidential cam
paign with a platform the prime plank
of which declares for American parti-
cipation in the League of Nations. He
will chide the republicans for their at
tempts to enter the League, by the
way of the court, or the Henry Cabot
Lodge avenue-through the back door
at the same time denouncing the
League simply because it was the po-
litical offspring of Mr.. Wilson.
Senator Harrison intends, through

e. D. Stokes. Her second was Mai.
Philip Lydig. The engagement of Mrs.
Lydig and the Episcopalian rector was
first announced in August, 1921, two
years after Mrs. Lydig had been di-
vorced from Major Lydig in Paris.
The rector is "a years old mad Mrs.
Lydig is 45.
By Mutual Consent
The engagement was broken, it is
understood. by mutual consent, al
though both the Rev. Mr.. Grant and
Mrs. Lydig refused to comment, be-
yond the latter's statement. For many
years Mrs. Lydig has been a communi-
cant in DR.. Grants church and has
been active in its works of charity.
Her divorce was obtained on ground
contrary to the Episcopal requirements,
and after Bishop Manning's opposition
had become known, she went to Paris
in an attempt to reopen the case, but
found that was not possible under
French law.
DIR. Grant is one of the modernist
leaders and has clashed with his bishop
in the past on church questions growing
out of the Observation-Disclosures con-
troyerSy.
