countant. Denied Right to Prac-
tice After Inquiry.

ciates on the United States Board of
Tax Appeals yesterday answered the
suit for q mandan brought by H. Ely
Goldsmith. certified public accountant
of New York, to compel his admission
to practice before the board. without
waving the question of the jurisdiction
of the court the members of the board
declare they acted entirely within their
rights in refusing the application of
Goldsmith and denied him no right to
which he was entitled.
4 committee of the board, the court
is told. investigated the record of Gold
smith and advised against his admission.
Goldsmith, the answer states was EN-
ployed by the State controller in New
York in 1910 and 1911 and got into
trouble by reason of giving out informa-
ton not authorized and was discharged.
He later sought by mandamus to be re-
stored, but was denied by the New York
courts. In March, 1921. it is stated, he
made application for enrolment as an
accountant to appear in cases before the
Treasury Department. and was opposed
by the commissioner of internal revenue
and his application was rejected.
Through United States Attorney Cor
don and Assistant United States Attor-
ney West the court is asked to dismiss
the suit of Goldsmith.

British Clergymen
Denounce Imperialism

Birmingham. England, May 2
"a. p. by Mail)-Imperialism and its
social structure find few advocates
among the present-day leaders Of
Protestant churches in England who
have been meeting here for the con-
ference on Christian Politics, Eco
Monies and Citizenship.
Several attacks upon Imperialism
had been made when the Rev. H.
Hogarth rose to protest against I'M
perialism being regarded as neces-
sarily selfish.
"Are we wrong?" DR.. Hogarth
asked. when in singing Land of
Hope and Glory our hearts re-echo
to the line God who made the mighty,
make thee mightier still?"
"Yes!" cried the delegates.
"Then we must scrap the n1onu-
ments to our national heroes In
Westminster Abbey" retorted the
speaker. to which the delegates loud
~ agreed.
"Was the campaign Of Lord Kit
chener in the Soudan wrong. and
were Christian statesmen like Lord
Salisbury wrong?" Mr.. Hogarth
continued.
The delegates gave the same re-
Spouse and the speaker gave UP his
questioning.
BY an overwhelming majority the
conference passed resolution to ask
the government to abolish capital
punishment. The motion was intro
duced by c. r. Simpson, a London
Quaker.

TRADE RECORD
OUR LACE APPROPRIATIONS

100000 of silk and 50, 000, 900 of
fibers. Hand made laces form a
comparatively small proportion Of
the imports, the total value Of hand
made cotton lAces imported since
the beginning Of 1912, the year of
earliest record, having been a little
over $4,000, 900. while that of
cotton faces during that period was
$zE, 000, 900. Even in silk and
fiber laces the hand made product
forms but a comparatively small
percentage OF the total.
Curiously, but 4 very small share
of the silk laees imported come
from the Orient, the chief silk
producing section of the world,
since of the N,s3z,00 worth of silk
laces, embroideries, etc. imported
in the high record year 1920 81
million dollars worth were from
France, ~ millions from the
United Kingdom, and less than a
halt million from Japan and China,
the chief silk producing countries
of the world. Most of the laces
imported from the Orient ase of
cotton. Hand made laces while
forming as already indicated small
proportion of the total imports are
apparently growing in favor, the
total imports of hand made cotton
laees having advanced from Si,l4s,-
600 in 1912 to $2.l65, 900 in 1928.
Apparently silk and fiber laees
are making more rapid gains in
popularity in the United States than
those Of cotton. The official figures
of imports of the entire group
"laces, embroideries. ETC." show an
advance in those of silk and fibers
from $7.Ss0,000 in 1912 to 1926
600 in 1923, while those of cotton
show a fall from $38. 100, 900 in 1912
