"Olympia's trouble" Olympia met Bagnano in the store in tho late af- ternoon and went out tho back door with him"
 The next day Olympia returned to the store and told the witness that she had been riding with John until II o'clock last night"
 Under griling cross examination by Joseph Koletsky the witness be- came very nervous. She released her bobbed hair by removing her hat which she twisted about in her hands. She drained q water glass of its contents and several times looked appealingly at Judge George E. Hinman.
 Mr, Koletsky al one time hurled at the witness: "You're not an enemy of Olympia are you?"
 Indeed not" she answered
 It was apparent however that the girl stuck to the essentials of the story she had told under the direct examination by State Attorney Arnon A. filling
 Widow in Court Room
 Throughout the questioning of the witness, Carrie Bagnano, widow of John sat in the courtroom. At times she gave an audible sigh, but did not break down as she did day before yesterday when she tainted in an ante-room.
 At the short forenoon recess she watched Olympia play minute with the little son of one of the court attaches. Mrs. Bagnano is living in New Jersey with her son Of about the same age.
 Miss Lombardi was on the stand during the entire forenoon, being dismissed just before court recessed for lunch.
 Enjoyed Vacation
 Four youths. who testified for the state in the retrial of Olympia Macri for killing John Bagnano, left here late yesterday for their New Haven homes after enjoying a "brief vaca- tion," They were brought here

EDWARD B. EYNON.

Luther C.. White, of Massachu-
sets, today was appointed super
intendent Of Federal prisons under
the Department of Justice. He
succeeds II. H. Votaw. brother in
law of the late President Harding.
White is an experienced prison
official. He has made a particular
study of the Industrial side Of
prison life. and only recently has
made a thorough examination Of
the Atlanta and Leavenworth insti-
tutions.
Prior to becoming Superintend
ent of Industries at Sing Sing in
1915. White was for years a manu-
facturer himself in New England.
After his Sing Sing service, he be-
came head of the Department of
Corrections in New York, and it
was from this post that Attorney
General Stone appointed him to the
Department of Justice.
White is a strong believer in
efficient industry in prison life.
1t is his belief that most trouble
in Federal prisons, such as that
recently experienced at Atlanta, can
be traced directly to idleness among
the inmates. Il

Baltimore Conference Rejects
Joining Of Northern and
Southern Churches Again

The flaming passions of civil war
days flared up today in the Balti-
more conference Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, at the Mt.
Vernon Place Church and resulted
in defeat, by a vote of 1877 to 141,
of the proposed unification of the
Northern and Southern branches or
the church, split asunder eighty
years ago over the slavery question.
The conference broke into I'M
controlled applause during the
parliamentary maneuVering pre-
ceding the final vote and was
quieted only with difficulty by the
presiding bishop, Warren A. Cand-
Ter, of Atlanta, Ga.
I'VE don't want that sort of
thing" the bishop said sharply,
and there was no further noisy
demonstration.
Atmosphere Tense.
The vote today is the first to
be taken in North America since
the question was referred to the
general conferences by the general
conferences Of the two churches.
The atmosphere in the church
was painfully tense during the bal
lOting, and many of those who
voted announced their votes in
voices that trembled with emotion.
Some of the voters were given
in so low tone of voice that
Bishop Gambler was forced to ask
two OK three times for the vote.

CASE
Charge Is Said to Have Been
Made by Members OF
Teaching Staff

"a
Unexpected complication was
given to the disturbance over
clandestine membership in Greek
letter societies in the Washington
high schools with the request
before schools officials today,
calling on them to investigate
the report that faculty members
of the high schools are them
selves members of the fraternal
bodies which have fallen under
the ban of the Board of Education.
This charge has been whis-
pered about since the fraternity
row broke. That certain faculty
members belonged to fraternities
was declared to be known" by
individuals who discussed the ques-
ton outside of official hearing.
The assertion assumed tangible
form today, however, when it was
learned that school officials have
been told that the situation exists
and have been called upon to
investigate.
