SIaDe OWnership By Bishop
 Caused Rift Of Methodists
I 844 Break Occurred When Georgian Refused To Give Up Negroes

ATLANTA, Ga, May -21. The in heritance by Georgia bishops wife of several slaves was the rock upon which the. northern and southern branches of the Methodist Episcopal. church split 80 years ago, churchmenf recalled here today when it became known that the College of Bishops of the Southern body had called a meeting, of the gen eral conference to consider the joint commissions plan for unification.
 The break occurred in 1844 when the wife of Bishop James o. Andrew of 0x- ford, Ga, inherited an estate which in cluded slaves, thus making the bishop a slave-owner.
 The northern branch demanded that he give up the slaves and upon his re- fusal to do so asked the southern body that he be forced to withdraw from the bishopric.
 This the southern branch declined and the breach was opened.
 Many efforts since have been made to effect reunion of the two branches, the last having been refused by the northern wing in May, 1920, at a meeting in Des Moines, la.

cause of these repeated assaults upon them all for purely partisan purposes.
 Believe me, fellow republicans, when I say that the government of this nation is clean and safe and sound Believe me when 1 say that the founda- tions of the republic still stand, secure against the attacks of those who would undermine or overthrow them, safe in the affections of the Aople whose rights they protect and whose interests they safeguard. The spots on the sun do not blacken the orb. The few instances of official wrongdoing are infinitely small as compared with the cases where pub lie officials have been and are patriot ically and honestly dong their duty ey- cry day and every hour.
 '.The standard of official conduct under Calvin Coolidge is high. in very truth never higher. .and hopeless in deed would be the future of our republic should any other rule obtain. Knowing the President of the United States as all Americans do. .his integrity, his zeal for the national welfare, his inflexible morality, his fixity of purpose for the right, it is unfortunate that, with all the great postwar problems confront ing us and demanding solution at our hands, the business of the nation should be halted for weeks by the leaders of the party out of power who have been engaged it an effort to blacken the gov ernment and besmirch the republican party.
 We all know that that effort has been a dismal failure. We all know that the people have grown weary with the flow of gossip and the flood of scandal with which they have been deluged from Washington. They are interested first of all in the welfare of their coun- try and in the proper solution of it's problems, and not primarily in the efforts of political leaders to, gain personal or party advantage, and | greatly misjudge both the temper and the spirit of the people if, when the Ides of November come, they do not give unmistakable evidence of the fact that they have not been deceiving into beliying that mud-sIinging is states manship, that islander is logic, that vituperation is wisdom, and that those who think and act as if they were, greatly offend the American peoples sense of propriety and justice and fair dealing, which is deeply embedded in the American heart"

 for the Cazalas campaign committee, but which defense witnesses testified was for the purposes of defraying ex- penses of the democratic executive com mittee, the judge scored the testimony given by Cliff Connors, signer of the note. He declared COnnors had testi- fled that he got the $3,000 from the bank and paid out the money for ex- pense of the democratic committee at the order of Secretary O'Connor, with out keeping a record and without even paying the money in checks.
 He said it was significant that 4 trust fund was paid out without any record to show it's disbursements and also referred to the testimony of Con- lors that he paid out the money always in currency.
 He also referred to the refusal of Connors to answer the question of whether or not he was a gambler and the proprietor of gambling house and further brought to the attention of the jury that the six endorsers of the s 900 note were all engaged in the whiskey business, according to the testimony, with the exception of one. Judge Erwin also referred to the evidence with regard to the activities of w. H. Holcombe, ex-sheriff and G. l.. Donaghue, chief field deputy, going into the latters bank account at length and calling to attention the testimony of both Holcombe and Donaghue that the latter was given money from the sheriff's office to carry on the sheriff's business and that the money was all kept in one account in Donaghues $ name.
 In his charge the judge touched on the other three defendants, connected with the sheriff's office, Deputies Blackman, Donaghue and Moore, and said they were guilty in lesser de- gree than others because they worked under orders, raided those they were told to raid and remaining away from the places of others they were told not to raid.
 The judge declared that the testi- mony tended to show that John H. McEtoy, Daniel l.. Jennison, Geronimo Perez, Jimmy Dawes, O'Connor and Richard ChirsmanJ were wholesalers. These men being referred to through out the trial as the ''big six" The judge told the jurors they need not consider Chrisman as lie had been talk Nh AAA eN@AN 0 oNfSAAASC 8hNAtC0 HI AAAc case.
 The judge gave it as his conclusion that P. J. O'Shaughnessy, former po- lice chief and other defendants were guilty of conspiracy, declaring that evidence was given that O'Shaugh- messy raised a campaign fund among liquor men for George Crawford in his successful race for city commissioner, and that the chief did give protection.
 The charge of Judge Erwin was the longest in the history of Mobile courts and consumed two hours and fifteen minutes in it's delivery. At the con clusion of the charge many of the de- fense lawyers were on their feet ask ing that exceptions be entered into the record with regard to different refer ences in the judges charge. After the stenographers had made note of all these exceptions, the case was given to the jury at exactly 1 o'clock.

policy of the special interests knows that the protective tariff policy of the republican party. enhances the price of every spoon of sugar, every thread Of clothing, beds and carpets used in the in the farmers home and makes the price of his farm implements and ma ehinery almost prohibitive.
 Besides, this policy affects the farm CTS surplus in two ways. First, it makes it cost him so much that he can not sell it in competiye foreign mar ket; and, secondly, if he could produce his surplus as cheaply as his foreign competitor produces a like surplus, the tariff which he would have to pay to this government on the goods, which he would get in exchange for his surplus; would make the transaction a losing one to him.
 Says Markets Are Barred.
 In these two ways, therefore. and there are others, our high protective tariff bars the surplus of the American farmer from foreign markets, It does more than this. By our system of forcing an. increase of agricultural prices at home, even without profit to our farmers, we have encouraged the development. of new fields of agricul- ture abroad, until Australia, South America and parts of Africa and Asia and Canada have become formidable competitors. e
 Unquestionably, if the United States regains it's foreign markets for agri, cultural products, once so profitable to our people, it must cheapen production at home and the only feasible modes of doing chat which have been present. ed for consideration are cheapening transportation. cheapening feftilizefs and relieving the farmer of the unjust burdens of tariff taxes on most of the articles that he is compelled to use, This would materially improve the economic condition of the United States: z

STERLING WOULD
 HALT PREJUDICE
 IN WHEELER RCASE
Says Senate Action Would Give Montana Senator
 Advantage

{ WASHINGTON, May 21.-The Senate was urged today by Senator Sterling, republican, South Dakota, not to z"prejudiceu the court trial of Sena- tor Wheeler, democrat, by adopting the majority report of it's investigating com mittee. exonerating him of the charge in an indictment returned in Montana of having accepted a fec to practice be- fore the interior department.
 Reviewing the evidence at great length to support his contention in his minority report that the grand jury was justified, Senator Sterling held the floor for more than three hours and was subjected to questions from both sides of the chamber.
 st Chairmor Berah, of the investigating committee expects to press his motion for adoption of the report within a day or two after Senator Walsh. democrat, Montana, and others have had oppor- tunity speak in defense of Senator Wheeler, the prosecutor" of the Daugherty committee.
 While the debate was in progress Senator Wheeler made public copies of letters exchanged between himself and Attorney General Stone regarding the trial in the federal court in, Montana. Senator Wheeler, writing under date of May 17, asked for q speedy trial in or der that he might be relieved of this embarrassing situation.r The attorney general replied he. was forwarding the letter to District Attorney Slattery in Montana and added that he was sure Mir Slattery would proceed with the matter as speedily as. is compatible with the public interest"
 In urging the Senate to delay action on the majority report, Senator Ster- ling declared adoption of the report would give Senator Wheeler an ad- vantage no private citizen could enjoy.
 Chairman Borah remarked that he was afraid Senator Sterling by arguing so earnestly for the guilt of Senator Wheeler would prejudice the court trial. The South Dakota senator declared he was not contending either for the guilt or innocenee of the Senator, but re- viewing the evidence.

BRYAN READY
 TO WAGE WAR
 ON MODERNISTS
Presbyterians Gather At. Grand Rapids To End8
 Fosdick Controversy
(By Leased Wire to The Herald )

(By Leased Wire to The Age. Herald. ]
 GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, May 21.- With fundamentalists and modernists arrayed for fight to force the Pres byterian church to settle, once for all, what kind of doctrines, it's ministers may preach and. its members believe, the one hundred and thirty sixth gen. eral assembly of the church which will assemble here Thursday, promises to be anything but the convention type of religious conference.
 William Jennings Bryan, with fire in his eye, is here to lead the fray for the fundamentalists. Bryan admitted he had prepared an address which he said he hoped would clarify doctrinal issues and show the modernists in their true light; that of men who are un- dermining the structure of religious be- lief in this country" s
 The Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Eos dick of New York, whose sermons started controversy between modern ist and fundamentalist ministers in the Presbyterian church, will not attend the assembly, it was announced. The Fosdick case again will be one of the chief features of the session, it is be- lieved. There are plenty of supporters and critics of the New York Divine among the 960 commissioners to the assembly, most of whom arrived We'd nesday.
 The Rev. Clarence E. Mccartney of Philadelphia will lead the fight against DrI Fosdick and modernism. Last year hes introduced resolution in the as- gemblS demanding that Fosdick be for bidden to preach in Presbyterian pull pit.
 According to some of the commits sioners the dispute has become some what of a sectional one, with liberal iclergymen of many eastern communi-, ties, and a few Chicago ministers. lining up in support of modernistic teachings against ministers of the west and south, who oppose it. .
 Bryan will be formidable contender again this year for the post of modera- tor, his friends believe. Last year he was within a few votes of victory on the first ballot. The most important item scheduled for the opening days session will be the election of a mod orator to succeed Dr. Charles F. Wis hart, president of Wooster University. Those mentioned as possible successors of Nishart are: Dr. Mccartney. Bry- an. and the Rev. Charles Erdman of Princeton, N. J.

 United States Senator From Indiana
 And Former Governor Of Indiana am not expert enough to give a full answer to the question, What can be done to improve the economic condition of the United States" am willing to suggest, however, that business will not materially improve in this country until our government quits ignoring the prin- ciple that ''just taxation is limited to the needs of the government economical- i ly administered"
 That maxim means that public of flee is public trust''' and that officials who are elected to serve the people shall not exercise the power to tax to bene- | fit one class of persons to the detfi- ment of other classes.
 It seems to me that the process which has been followed in this coun- try of taxing the people for the benefit of favored classes, has been carried on until our whole governmental system is demoralized and that now the whole idea of the paternalistic advocates is to stimulate the portions of the community or country which have been injured by it, by still further perverting the Iegiti- mate functions of government.
 The farmers, for example, have been taxed for the benefit of everybody, and are still being taxed without regard to the iniquitous effect of the rate and system of. taxes imposed upon them. Most of the remedies that are now be. ing offered to relieve them of some of their unjust burdens are along the lines of temportary relief in the form of loans and concessions of various kinds.
 Cites Committee Testimony
 As member of the committee on agriculture and Forestry, have listen ed for weeks to witnesses testifying to the deplorable condition of the farmers in the northwest and I have been astounded to see how they all, with very few exceptions. cling to a high pro tective tariff as the farmers greatest safeguard, notwithstanding that under such policy, the farmers of this coun- try have come to the very precipice of absolute ruin. Apparently these wit nesses were most solicitous that there be nothing done by our government to de- velop foreign markets for the surplus of our farms, that might in any way weaken the high protective policy of the republican party.
 So strongly are they welded to high tariffs that they are willing to have this government ignore constitutional lim- itations in order, that it may help the farmer through unwise and unsafe leg islation. I concede that farmers have everXright that any other industry has to hive our organic law violated in their interest, but, no industry in truth has this right, and I would emphasize the fact that disregard for constitu- tional safeguards is always followed by dangerous consequences.
