security pact negotiations and already
has done much through his Cambridge
speech to direct sentiment in favor OF
an agreement on the security treaty.
which, In the opinion of observers, will
go far to influence all nations in
volved to make concessions assuring
the consummation of the last dispute
necessary to the complete pacification
and stabilization Of Europe.
On this space, not many miles from
the Summer White House, are the
English and German embassies, and
the representatives of these govern
ments have kept President Coolidge
advised, in an informal way. of the
trend in the discussion on the pact.
The representatives Of the foreign
governments believe that this Gov
ernment. with its unquestioned devo-
ton to righting the troubles of Eu-
rope, has done much to influence not
only Germany, but France, to reach
points of argument on the pact. That
the American Government and bank
ers are looked to. as in the prepara-
ton Of the Dawes plan, to take any
overt act in bringing about the situa-
ton favorable to a conference on the
pact Is the opinion of the foreign gov
ernments as expressed today through
one of its representatives.
Baron Ago Won Nathan, German
Ambassador, who yesterday received
a cable from his government, said at
his Magnolia home that he was con-
fident that Germany will make a re-
ply TO the French security note
which, while not accepting Frances
demands, will propose a conference
in the Autumn. This conference, he
believes. will lead to an agreement
satisfactory to France and Germany.

PRESIDENT HEARS
SCOPES TRIAL HIT
"Pitiful Drama Exemplifying Divi.
sions Among Christians" Pastor
Says in Sermon.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, July 20
The Scopes evolution trial was de
scribed before President Coolidge at
church yesterday as the pitiful
drama exemplifying the division
among Christians"
1T is with very poor grace" said
Rev. Charles H. Beale, who delivered
the sermon at the Tabernacle Congre-
gational Church in Salem, that we
church people criticize statesmen for
not getting together, when we our
selves cannot act in unison" The
pastors pointed declarations on the
evolution trial were brief and, while
he did not declare himself before the
President as modernist, he gave
every substantiation TO his statement
that he was a progressive preacher. y
Mr.. Beale preached for many years
at Milwaukee, Wis, and now is re
tired, serving during the vacation
period at the Summer church of the
President.

BOTH TRADES DENY
| BLAME IN DISPUTE
BriCklayers' and PlastererS'
/ Row May Force Disaster
in Building Trades.
9Y the Associated PreSs.

BY the Associated PRESS.
NEW YORK, July 20.--With the
deadlock unbroken between the Brick
layers. Masons and Plasterers Inter
national Union of America and the
Operative Plasterers and Cement
Finishers International Association,
both organizations issued statements
yesterday denying blame for the dis
pute which has tied up building con-
struction in Il score of cities.
Edward J. McGiven. president of
the plasterers and cement finishers
union, in a statement sent to building
contractors and architects throughout
the United States, charged the brick
layers union with making IAN effort
10 absorb our organization of over
$4,000 members" and with casting
aside every constructive and CO.
operative consideration"
Acting President George H. Thorn
ton of the bric,ilayers' organization,
accused the other union of "a cam
paiEn of encroaChment. that began
with the invasion of the State of
Florida by the Operative Plasterers
and Cement Finishers international
Association and has since spread to
other sections of the country"
Situation in Chaos.
The situation is still in chaoS,
said Mr. McGiven, with the result
that the building industry of this
country, now in a state of unprece-
dented prosperity. faces disaster. The
policy of the bricklayers is and has
been to absorb the plasterers and in
doing so to spend all the money neces-
sary. to use every effort, even TO stag
ger the building industry of this coun-
try in their efforts to do So
Mr.. Thornton's statement said:
If the Operative Plasterers and
Cement Finishers International Asso-
citation were permitted to succeed in
its invasion of our territory and Of our
rights, that organization would even
tually lay claim to a great part of the
work which by every test belongs to
members of our trade. The stoppage
of work was resorted to by our op-
ponents in New York City solely in
order to force contractors to refuse
employment to plasterers belonging to
our organization. Our union has not
invaded the territory or the rights of
any organization TO secure plasterer
members"
Mr.. Thornton warned members of
this organization that no truce has
been reached in the dispute. Mr.. Nc
Givern asked building contractors to
support US by following the lead of
builders who have already signed
agreements to employ our men,"

LIBERAL PERFORMERS
UNEASY IN PERSIA
See Little Prospect Of Gaining Re-
publican Government-Titles
Are Abolished.

By Cable TO The Star and Chicago Daily News
CONSTANTINOPLE. July 2o.-Ad.
vocates of liberal reform in Persia,
following Turkeys example, are in a
rather precarious position, according
to recent arrivals in Constantinople.
While they see no possibility for the
return of the exiled Shah and new
elections have been called for Novem-
ber, there is little prospect Of a repub.
lican form of government.
Present discussions between the
Turkish and Persian governments re-
garding frontiers and better treaty re.
lations have evoked considerable in
terest in Moslem circles of Persia re-
garding Turkeys irreligtous policy.
The most progressive act of Persia
recently has been the abolition of a
vast category of high sounding titles,
which formerly were conferred by the
shah. Premier Ria Khan Pahlevi.
who, though he was practical dictator
of the country, did not enjoy a fiorid
title, accomplished this through a de-
cree. Ria Khan adopted the name of
Pahlevi, and also assured its perma-
nence by changing the name of En-.
zeli, a Caspian Sea port, to Pahlevi.
Ria Khan has an unsavory reputa-
ton among Americans, being credited
with being under British influence and
with instigating the murder of Consul
Imbrie.
Abolishing titles compels former
dignitaries to adopt new names.
Teheran newspapers have given a
touch of comedy to the reform by
printing a list of title holders and
offering to print the new names in
parallel columns at the rate OF 81
each.
The City Of Recht. where the women
followed the example of their Turkish
sisters of appearing In the streets
without wells, was the scene of rtoting
following TRADES delivered by hodjas
in the mosques against daring women.
When the authorities refused to order
the women to cover their faces, dis
orders occurred under exhoration of
Moslem priests and spread to other
parts of the country until the govern.
ment, fearing overthrow, ordered
wholesale arrests OF the hodjas.
