Cardiff Wales, June B Pt-The adoption of a single creed which would embody the fundamental bases and unite all denominations Of inc reformed churches into a single strong unit was urged at the open ing session today of the twelfth ouadrennial council of reformed churches by the president, Rev John McNaugher of Pittsburgh.
 He spoke feelingly on the point, saving the church needed this bold definite step to bring it solidarity as a world power. He urged the council to recommend adoption Of "a common statement of faith for the reformed churches, more dis tinct than the old creeds, less eX- treme than the reformed creeds' but me which would absorb the best Of Ehe Westminster confession and other similar crecds."
 He welcomed the efforts under way to unite all the Christian re- Hgion and urged that his hearers should lend all possible aid to this object without sacrificing their church.

cheeseman's illness Retards
Negotiations Ground

LOCARNO, Switzerland, Oct. 6.
Progress Of the security pact
negotiations was somewhat retarded
today by the illness OF Herr Stresse-
man, German foreign minister.
Change of climate has affected
Cheeseman's throat and he has not
been able to actively participate in
the negotiations since yesterday
afternoon, but it is hoped that he
VIII be able to attend a plenary
session Of the conference later In
the day.
Ground work for the proposed
security pact has been broken, and
the next plenary session will take
up some of the more knotty clauses
In the proposed pact, which have
been the subject Of discussions by
the juridicial experts during the
past twenty-four hours.
One of the important problems
before the conference now Is the
question Of the entrance OF Ger
many into the League Of Nations.
While 1t is accepted as a matter
Of principle that Germany will
enter the League as part OF the
pact agreement, there is much
doubt as to under what conditions

covenant, which would permit the
sending of troops across Germany.
is strong and it is doubtful whether
the German delegation would dare
to enter the League without some
sort of an understanding regarding
this League provision.
Another problem confronting the
conference is the question Of arbi-
tration agreements between Ger
many and her neighbors on the
eastern frontiers. It is reported
that Great Britain and France are
agreed that they can not definitely
enter into a security pact with
Germany until she has made arbi-
tration agreements with Poland and
Czechslovakia. It is probable that
Polish and Czechoslovakian dele
gates may arrive here tonight to
discuss such arbitration agreements.

JUSTICE DEPT
FACES new
STORM
Congress to Attack Failure to
Act in Aluminium and
Bread Cases
By GEORGE R. HOLMES I

Trouble is brewing again for the
Department Of Justice.
The comparative quiet that has
brooded over the department since
the hectic days OF the Daugherty
investigation promises to be rudely
shattered as soon as Congress can
get back on the job, for there will
be demands for two separate in
vestigations into Attorney General
Sargent's failure to act In the cases
Of two, alleged trusts, bread and
aluminium.
Democrats and progressive Re
publicans will sponsor the proposed
inquiries. Congressman Cordel Hull
Dem.) Of Tennessee, one OF the
minority leaders of the House, has
announced he will introduce a
resolution calling for an investiga-
ton of the aluminium cases and q
number of progressives asserted to-
day they would fight for a probe OF
the bread case.
Complaints Unheeded
The disclosure by Huston Thomp-
son and John r. Nugent, members
OF the Federal Trade Commission,
thabea complaint was lodged several
months ago against the gigantic
$a0O, OOO, 900 bread merger, just
completed, and that neither the
commission, which is controlled, by
conservatives" nor the depart
ment took any action, has famed
the Democrats and progressives
into heat.
The complaint charged that the
General Baking Company, as the
new combine is to be known, will
operate 157 baking companies and
that ''it WI control the price Of
bread In every important city in
the United States. !"
Al rule Of secrecy, imposed by the
three majority members OF the com
mission, hitherto prevented the com
plant becoming known.
Law Evasion Charged
Huston and Nugent also chargt
that In ignoring this complaint, the
commission, Of which they are
minority members, deliberately
evaded the law and disobeyed the
| Senate's express orders that this
case be investigated. They declare
the courts have already held thai
the Trade Commission was set "
under the Clayton act to arrest fr
their incipiency'' such enormous
combines as that just effected II

The Democrats are practically
united in their intention Of going

Repeal of most of the so-cailed

classes now netting the Govern
nent less than $25O,OO0 annually,
will be recommended to Congress
by Treasury tax experts, it was
learned today.
Some other excise taxes whose
collection cost virtually as much
as the returns, should be wiped off
the statute books, according to
officials.
Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon has been invited to appear
before the House Ways and Means
Committee, which meets October
70, to present his ideas ON the 1926
revenue act.
Experts at Work
With the request from Chairman
Green of the Ways and Means
Committee that the Treasury take
an active part In the new tax leg
islation. a big corps Of experts has
been put to work compiling the
necessary data. on which Congress
must base its new law.
Treasury officials say that the
time for placing the American taxa
ton system on a sound and per-
manent basis cannot be postponed.
A law which win assure steady
and Increasingly heavy income to
the Government, with a revision
and reduction in rates which viii
not upset private business viii be
advocated by Mellon.
Several items of Government in
come are about to become exhaust
ed and must be replaced by taxes.
These include funds derived from
the sale of surplus war materials,
repayment of loans issued by the
War Finance Corporation, liqdida-
ton Of advances to railroads and
collection OF back taxes arising IN
der the wartime income tax laws.
Revenues Increased
The 1924 revenue act admittedly

former laws. In the first three
months Of the 1925-1926 fiscal year
amounted to $435, 235 900, a gain
OF about $50 Zoo, 900 over the same
period last year. Total govern
ment revenue in this period was
1894. e00,0 900, an increase Of $46..
coo, 900 over 1924-1925.
From ever section OF the coun-
try are coming letters urging Mel
lon to advocate repeal Of the pub
licity clause as harmful to private
business. The clause is held to
tie detrimental to Government reve-
nue. by the Treasury.
Strong pressure has been brought

Capital Handicap at Six Fur
longs Headlines Program
at Maryland Track
By HARRY sTRTNGER

The Capital Handicap at six fur
longs for three-year-olds and up
ward having an added prize of
$1,000 to the winner headlines the
racing program today which VIII
1inaugurate Laurel's annual meeting
Of twenty-three days.
An imposing field is carded for
the event, numbering some Of the
equine stars OF the world. Among
them are Mrs. w. K. VanderbiIt's
Sarazen, the Everg1ade stables Wise
Counselor, Harry Payne Whitney's
Candy Kid, ii e. Griffith's Single
Foot and A. G. Bostwick's Shuttle
Along, who carried off the classic
year ago.
To Sarazan the hero of q score
of thgilling turf battles, the handi-
capper has assigned the top weight
of 1872 pounds. Next in his estima-
ton is Wise Counselor, who twice
conquered Epinard. He must tote
40. Following on the list are Shut
file Along and Candy Kid with 1T
and ia, respectively. The light
weight Of the field is Laddie Buck
with 9S.
A Difficult Task
Mrs. Vanderbilt,s sturdy gelding
has been allotted a difficult task
in the Capital. He carried $50 and
won the Dixie at mile and a fur
long In the spring, but If his races
around New York afford a true
line on his ability he does not care
for poundage above this point.
The mighty Sande viii be astride
him, and he will greatly enhance
his chances, but even he may not
be able to offset his high handicap.
Wise Counsellor seems to be in the
same predicament. and 1t is likely
the others who have been more
leniently treated in the assignment
of weights.
The Joppa for fwo-year-oIds at
five and a half furiongs is the
secondary feature OF the card. 1t
has drawn q fine field composed OF
such first rate juveniles as Harry
Payne Whitney's Macaw, perhaps
the best In his stable, r. T. Will
sons Ursa Major the Glen Riddle
Stables Man o. War fiIly. Corvette
and j. e. Widener's Ruthenia.
They promise a stirring struggle.
Another purse race which has at
tracted the better grade of horses
is the Eutaw. Five are listed for
a mile and a sixteenth contest in
this flair. including such sterling
performers as Rockminster and
Cherry Pie. Four other races at
various distances, including a
/ steeplechase comprise the rest Of
| the program. The track was slow
yesterday from the weekend rains
but was drying out rapidly. twill
be fast for today's sport. Prepare
tions are being made for the enter
tainment of a record crowd. During
/ the summer Spalding Lowe Jen-
kins, the president of the track,
has made many improvements and
patrons this year will find every
facility for their comfort and con-
venience.
