days session of the empire labor con-
ference in progress here, with an

failing to function
He said the majority of trade
ucionists were optimistic with regard
to the present industrial position in
Great Britain, and that they viewed
with extreme satisfaction the recent
developments. He considered it a good
thing for the labor conference to be
held just now, ''at time when we
are on the threshold of one of the big
gest victories of trade unionism in the
last % years"
Referring to the development of in
dustrialism in the British empire, Pur-
cell declared that manufacturers en-
ployed antiquated machinery at home
and sent the modern machinery to- the

MACMILLAN SHIPS
ARE LOCKED IN ICE
Peary and Bowdoin Held
Fast in Sight of Cape
York, Messages Say.

Locked in the Arctic ice, the Mac
MILAN expedition is experiencing the
dangers known to Polar explorers for
centuries.
The Melville Bay ice pack, which
has stopped the progress of the ships
Bowdoin and Peary. is playing it's
time honored drama and endanger-
ing the expedition every minute.
Comdr. Macmillan said today in "a
wireless dispatch TO the National
Geographic Society. The messag ge
was dated yesterday and declared
that although the sky line of Cape
York was i'm view, the ships were
unable to move until conditions
changed
Elements Combined in Attack.
Fog, ice, magnetic variation, drift
ing pans and other troubles were
mentioned as prevailing.
The message said:

are experiencing fog, ice, magnetic
variation. drifting pans, and the con
Stant change of tactics known TO
Arctic explorers for centuries. We
are in the ice, with the skyline of
Cape York in view. but are unable to
move until conditions change.
I'VE are so near land that we have
seen E,SkimoS near Meteorite Island
signaling with smoke columns. Min
iature pressure ridges are slowly ris-
ing about the Peary, while the jagged
ice whispers ominOusly at the intru-
sion of this steel shell amid hundreds
of square miles of shifting ice. From
8 this morning until 2 o'clock this
afternoon the Peary smashed lanes in
the heavy foe and the Bowdoin hurled
loose cakes like slabs.
Polar Bear Killed.
After breakfast polar bear was

shot for scientific study. By night il

foredeck of the Bowdoin. It's poison

POLICE BREAK Up
POOL ON BASE BALL
Alleged Claimant to Title of
Largest Operator Here
Arrested.

Base ball pool operations in Wash
ington were temporarily checked last
night when Detective James f. Lowry
of the eighth precinct arrested Martin
Loewe, of 1741 Columbia road. and put
500 lottery tickets for next week out
of circulation.
Lowry made two purchases of pool
tickets at Fourteenth and u streets
last night. paying S1.20 in marked
money for the little manila envelopes
which contain the punched green slip
that allows one chance in S,00S of
winning first prize.
Immediately after making the pur-
chase, which was witnessed by Lieut..
Sullivan and Precinct Detective H. w.
Smith. who were standing apparently
idly on the opposite corner. Lowry in
formed Loewe of his identity and took
him into custody.
Evening star., 1925-07-31
IL Tickets UnsOld.

OF the current week : tickets, Lowry
said, only II out of 500 remained in
Loewe's possession. But in his auto
mobile nearby were 500 envelopes with
chances for next week. This, accord
ing TO the police, amounted to one
tenth of the total output for the week
of August 8.
Lowry stated that last night Loewe
informed the police that he probably
was the largest agent for the pool in
the city, averaging a disposition of at
least 500 eacn week. Lowry said
that he was also informed that
Loewe's commission was Is cents per
envelope, allowing AZ cents to go to
the headquarters of the base ball
lottery.
Efforts of the police to follow the
investigation along the line with an
endeavor to get to the higher ups
brought no results, and Loewe was
booked at the eighth precinct on a
charge of violating the handbook and
betting provisions of section 500 of
the District of Columbia code. He
was releas sed on 1880 bond last
night.
Assistant United States Attorney
Ralph Given is in charge of the pros
ecution. He announced today that
he had taken the case under advise
ment to make study of the prohibi-
tions against such violations accord
ing to the District code. He stated
he would hold the matter in abey-
ance during his consideration of the
case for the next few days.
Expose Brought Change.
Among other things told by Loewe.
according to Lowry. was that the
syndicate heads, in charge of the lot
terry, have been making it a practice,
since The Stars publicity on their
activities, to issue the envelopes
later in the week than heretofore.
For instance, Loewe is alleged to
have stated he got the envelopes only
yesterday, whereas in the quiet and
untroubled days preceding the pub
licity he could have gotten them
earlier in the week and have dis
posed of them by last night.
The score card for July 20, giving a
list of winners, Shows that approx.
mately S1,954.10 was distributed in
prizes during that week. The prices of
the 5000 tickets are so cents each.
An instant's computation shows that
S4,S00 would be taken in all told from
the Washington public, and even
though the operators themselves get
net of only 40 cents per ticket, the
total would be $4,000. Allowing a dis.
tribution of prizes amounting to 81, 900
all told, the syndicate must be making
at least $1,000 a week. This, however.
accounts only for one group-or series
of 5000, and it is known that five
or six series are operating.

The church auditorium presented
an impressive background for the
service as DR.. SiZoo ascended the pull
pit to begin the formal service The
American flag that had draped the
lower end of the caSket while the pub
lie viewed the body earlier today had
been placed entirely over the closed
coffin. near which stood rigidly at at
tention two veterans in the blue uni
form of the Spanish-American War
period. The guard of honor was the
tribute OF the associates of a comrade-
in-arms, for Bryan had commanded a
regiment in that conflict.
Banked high about the foot of the
casket and on the front pew were
scores of great floral pieces, the trib-
uteS of a Nation, from the President
and Mrs. Coolidge TO the plain citizen
and admirer.
Another wreath came for the
1-year-old granddaughter of the Com
moner, born during the last Demo-
cratic convention. A large cross of
lilies was placed at one side of the
casket, the floral offering from the
family. Other flowers, which up to
the time of the church's closing at
noon had rested in the basement. were
brought up into the main auditorium
and banked around the pulpit An
open Bible, made up of white and pink
asters the gift of the Jackson Demo
cratic Association of Washington, oc-
cupied special place of prominence
on a pedestal to the right of the
coffin.
After reading'the familiar Il am the
Resurrection and the Life quotation
from the New Testament, the creed
of the Great Fundamentals who lay
before him in death, DR. Sizoo repeat
ed the Twenty-third Psalm, beginning
1.-The Lord is my Shepherd: l shall not
want" The congregation stood during
this part of the service and remained
standing during the prayer of invoca-
ton to join in reciting the Lord S
PRAYER in unison.

that consigned the body to the

which the humble Nebraskan looked
forward unafraid.
Personal Tribute Thrills.
There were few among the dis
tinguished attendants at the funeral
who were not thrilled at the striking
personal tribute paid Mr.. Bryan by
his friend and follower, DR.. Sizoo
in tones indicating the emotion he
felt, the minister emphasized that 1t
was the Bryan of a younger day whose
fervent oratory changed the whole
aspect of his career, to lead him from
a lay profession to life of religious
devotion. 1t was a remarkable eulogy
of the Nations respected citizen that
followed this impressive personal
touch prefacing the minister's ad-
dress. The clergyman's speech of
tribute was replete with reference to
the answering faith in his God main
tained until the end by the Commoner
Three outstanding features of his
character were stressed in the funeral
discourse: Mr.. Bryan's Great capac-
ity for noble living" for love. and
paramount of all, perhaps, for faith.
UnfaItering Faith Praised.
Like his Christ" DR.. Sizoo de-
clared, ''Who with a scarlet camp
mantle flung contemptuously across
His shoulder. crowned with crown
of thorns, carrying his cross to an
outlaws grave, held constantly to the
assurance of His Fathers presence.
so this noble man unto the very end
of the day, in success and defeat,
lived with an unfaltering faith in a
God who never disappointed him.
The widow sitting with her two
daughters and son, gazed fixedly
forward, grief-stricken, throughout
the ceremony. which lasted nearly an
hour. Just prior to the start of the
service she had visited the casket
alone, except for one or two imme-
diate relatives who assisted her. 1t
was her first glimpse she had taken
since the arrival of the body in Wash
ington, and, as it was to be her last
in this life, she fingered, struggling
TO suppress her mental anguish
Promptly at 2:45 pm. the church
quartet, accompanied by the organist,
filed into the auditorium and began
