$50 CONSERVATIVE
CANDIDATES LISTED
British Laborites Rally 500 to OPP
pose Big Opposition in Forth
coming Election.

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, October 16.-The fight of
the Conservatives to prevent Socialism
from making another great gain In
the Forthcoming election resulted to-
day in the final drafting Of a list Of
$50 candidates--one of the largest
lists of fighters ever put into the
field
Against this battalion the Labor
party has rallied 500 candidates and
may add one or two more before clos
ing it's nominations on Saturday.
It Is impossible at the moment to
measure exactly the effect of the ar
rangements taken to avoid splitting
the anti-Socialist vote. Last year
20 Labor men and Socialists were re-
turned to the House of Commons
after the triangular contests in which
they won only the minority vote.
In 48 of these constituencies the
Liberals and Conservatives arranged
to run only one candidate, making
Labor's chance of keeping its previous
gains more than dubious
Recent events in London would
seem to indicate an unusual strength
on the part of the Conservatives, but
the Labor party is rallyIng with even
greater strength than last year. The
Liberal cause has lost much prestige
in the past eight months

Finds Way to Grant 5000 Franc
Minimum Wage and Keep With

b. tie Associated Press.
PARIS, October 16.-Premier Her
riot has found a way Of satisfying the
demands of the state functionaries
for a minimum salary Of 5000 francs.
The result was attained after q con-
ference attended by Finance Minister
Clementel. the president Of the finance
committee OF the Chamber OF Depu
ties. the reporters of the Senate and
Chamber budget committees and
other interested parties, lasting most
of yesterday afternoon and last eve
ming.
After studying the question from
every angle. it was found I(ssible to
adopt a scale of salaries rising from
5000 to 10000 francs without exceed
ing the limits of the appropriation
for that purpose in the budget. Under
the plan. provisional allowance for
the high cost of living would be in
cluded in the salaries. functionaries
who are lodged free would have a
proportionate reduction made in their
salaries and 10000 places would be
abolished. 4
The premier today is to re1ve rep
resentatives OF the CIVIL servants
and explain the reform to them in
detail.

CHURCH DELEGATES
AT ODDS OVER WAR
Disciples of Christ Face
Clash Over "Pacifist" and
''Defense" Resolutions.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
CLEVELAND, Ohio, October 1s.-
Prospects of a clash between advo-
Gates of war for defense" and dele
gates opposed to war in any form
doomed here today AS the interna-
tional convention Of the Disciples of
Christ went into its third days ses-
sion.
Opposing resolutions were drafted
by the defenders" and "pacif1sts," 1t
was learned late last night. Under
the convention rules. all resolutions
are debated in the committee on rec
concentrations before being presented
10 the general body.
Kirby Page of New York. author and
writer against war, was said to have
drafted a resolution declaring that
the church and the body of Christ and
the bearer OF the good news of father
hood and brotherhood, should not
sanction war, or bless its weapons.
but should follow more excellent
way and thus set an example for the
state.
The opposing resolution was said
to have been drawn by Rev. w. Paul
Marsh of Middletown. Ind, a chap
lain in the Army Reserves; Rev. Il. A.
Abbott. editor of the Christian
Evangelist ST. Louis. and others. and
asks that the convention go on re-
cord as opposing war excepting when
our country is being attacked. and
that We are opposed TO war OF
aggression in any form, and further
be it resolved that the chaplains in
the United States Army and Navy and
organized reserves be commended for
their work, and that more assistance
be given them by appointing a stand
ing committee on chaplaincy."
Hits "PacSfist. Resolution.
The .pacifist' resolution" according
to Chaplain Marsh, means that "the
church will withdraw all moral sup
rort and Endorsement from the Army
and Navy chaplains. and will. in
effect, slap the United States Govern
ment in the face
ITNh resolutions proposed, 1t was
tsad, favor leaving to the individual
conscience whether the individual
shall participate in war or take an
attitude of non-resistance.
A third resolution, said to have
been prepared by a group headed by
Rev. DR.. Alva w. Taylor Of Indianap-
oils, secretary of the Board of Tenn
perance and Welfare. favored the
United States joining the League of
Nations or something better.
Rev. L. L. Powell, pastor for many
years of the first Christian Church of
Louisville. KY, entered a violent pro-
test against what he termed "the
star chamber methods" of the COM
mittee on recommendation, and de-
clared the democratic character OF
the, convention since its organization
four years ago has been noticeabiy
lost through the growth of an of
ffcialdonn' and a tendency to expedite
business by transacting it in the COM
mittee on recommendations instead of
on the floor Of the convention"

SUIT ASKS BARRYMORE
TO RETURN MANUSCRIPT
Sophie Treadwell Seeks $2,50O
Damages After Actor Rejects
Play on Poe.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 16.-Suit for
$2,s00 and the return Of the manu-
script Poe" based on the life Of
Edgar Allen Poe, was filed in the
supreme court yesterday against John
Barrymore, actor. by Sophie Tread
well, playwright, whose list of plays
includes "Gringo."
Miss Treadwell, in afidavits, al
leges that she delivered the manu-
script of her play to Barrymore in
January, 1921. He praised it highly,
she sets forth, and gave her the i'm
preston that he intended to have it
produced.
Six weeks ago Barrymore rejected
the play, Miss Treadwell asserts, and
failed to return the manuscript, say
ing that Mrs. Barrymore, who writes
under the pen name of Michael
Strange, had also written a play
about Edgar Allen Poe, which he be-
neved was superior.
Miss Treadwell further alleges that
Mrs. Barrymore's play could have
been written only after the latter had
profited from situations in Poe" Her
COUNCIL requested the sherif to levy
upon the manuscript.

HUGHES CONDEMNS
lAFOLLETTE AIMS
Declares Prosperity viii Be
Destroyed if Third Party
Is Successful.
By the Ass0ciat ted Press.

NEW YORK, October 16-Secretary
OF State Charles E. Hughes, speaking
at meeting in Carnegie Hall last
night, declared that victory of the La
Toilette party would result in the de-
struction of prosperity in the United
States.
Addressing the biggest Republican
rally Of the present campaign, he
urged support of Coolidge and Dawes
as the means of warding off ''se-
rious disaster" The Secretary said
that the Democratic party could not
cope with the situation. az it seemed
probable that in this election it will
be virtully cut to pieces in the West
and will be honeycombed in the
East"
The opening portion of his address
was devoted to an appeal for support
of Col. Theodore Roosevelt for gov
enor. He said that the candidate
was worthy son of a great father"
and that in addition to achieving sue
cess in industry and in business and
giving valorous service on the battle
field, the colonel has shown his exec
utive ability in the preparation OF
data for the Washington conference
on Limitation of armaments.
Hits La Toilette Aim.
that the La Toilette plan for a con-
stitutional amendment to permit
Congress to overrule the United States
Supreme Court is revolutionary,
Secretary Hughes declared that the
rights now guaranteed to individuals
by the Constitution would be at the
mercy of Congress. should such an
amendment be adopted.
THE time to stop a revolutionary
when it begins the Secretary said.
The submission of a constitutional
amendment is the first step toward
a desired end. If you do not like the
end this step should not be taken.
Referring to criticism of the Re
publicans economic policies made by
the Democratic nominee, John w.
Davis, Secretary Hughes reiterated
the achievements of the Coolidge
Harding administration
He said that after assuming office
the Republican party had SO improved
conditions that, although it had in
herited 100000 unemployed, in IL
months not only was there no un-
employment, but an actual shortage
of labor existed. He ascribed this
change to- the acts of the Harding ad-
ministra ton, among them the double
operations of credits, and systemau-
caIly stimulated exports, the repay
ment of large sums owed by the Gov
ernment to railroads and the passing
of the tariff bill.
Denies Diplomacy secret.
Secretary Hughes denied statements
by Senator La Toilette that our
diplomacy is secret and imperialistic.
citing the fact that American troops
have already been withdrawn from
Santo Domingo and would be with
drawn from Haiti soon as this
could be done without danger OF
bloodshed and revolution.
The meeting was held under the
auspices of the Republican county
committee. with Representative Ogden
l. Mills presiding.
