Charge Blasphemer
Bimba OMciated at
"ROlsheYik Funeral"

Hudson, Mass, Feb. 1S-(AP)-
The charge that Anthony Bimba, Of
Brooklyn, n. Y, Lithuanian lecturer
who faces trial at Brockton for bias
phemy and sedition, officiated last
week at "Bolshevik funeral" in this
town. has been made by Rev. DR..
John T. Mullen. pastor of st. Mi
chaels Catholic church.
Alleging that a woman to whc i
the last rites of the church were adj
ministered before death was buried
without benefit Of clergy the priest
has joined Hudson selectmen and
police in efforst to bring about depor-
tation of a group of alien residents.
Father Mullen cited eastman Stat
kus, an uncle Of Mrs. Catherine Ia
mosiumas, over whose funeral the
controversy has been waged, as au-
thority for his statement that Bimba
was in charge of the ceremony. The
woman's husband, Albin Tamosiu-
mas. said today his wife had re-
quested that there be no religious
service at her funeral and that her
body be inferred In Forest Dale Gem
etery. Rev. Thomas A. Murphy of
Marlboro said at the request of Mrs.
Tamosiumas he sent a priest to the
Marlboro Hospital to administer to
her the last rites of the church.
Irving L. Hoffman of Boston. an
attorney associated with his brother
Harry Hoffman in the defense OF
Bimba In the Brockton court, said
today he did not know whether his
client was in Hudson last week. He
said he knew Bimba was In Boston
during the week but had not follow
ed his movements closely.
Father Mullen complained to Po-
lice Chief Andrew Magorty that he
was threatened with violence yester-
day by a man he was questioning
with regard to his connection with a
local communist body. The chief
said today that he had met with
great difficulty in obtaining i1forma-
ton from persons questioned regard
ing reported communist activities in
the town. Several persons believed
to be leaders In a local organization
have left Hudson.
The authorities continued to in
vestigate reports that a night school
had been conducted at which chill
dren were initiated into radical doc.
trines.

switched largely to the buying side to-
day in the wheat market here, and with
Liverpool quotations showing uneX-
pected strength a material advance OF
wheat values in Chicago was the re-
suit. Closing prices here for wheat al
though unsettled were to 2ec net
higher, May new 1.61s to 1,67g and
July 1.49 to 1.49t. Corn finished to
Sc up, oats at s@a to &c gain and pro-
visions showing rise of IL to 25q27
cents.
An outstanding factor favorable to
the buying side of the wheat market
was an estimate from a trade authori-
ty that even should the United States
wheat exports between now and July ]
be as low as 100000 bushels the final
domestic carryover would be only 49,
900. 900 bushels. Helped by this fore
cast and by the fact that offerings were
light. there was much more general
demand for future deliveries of wheat
sides, messages from the seaboard in
dicated better export inquiry and pre-
dictions were current that If American
markets were firm for several days a
good sized amount of business with
Europe was likely to develop.
Assertions that the Liverpool wheat
advance was due to buying orders
from America tended to discount to
some extent the effect here. Reports
of widespread snow and rain benef1-
cial to the winter wheat crop IN THIS
country did a good deal also to bring
some late selling pressure against the
July delivery in particular. One the
other hand, colder weather in sight
was more of an offset and there was
buying, too, based on likelihood that
the coming official report on farm re-
serves of wheat may prove bullish.
Corn and oats were firmer. respon-
sive to wheat strength and to prevail
ing rough weather. In addition, cash
corn demand was better. with shipping
