Hockey FIourishes

Increase Of interest in hockey,
both amateur and professional, also
was noticed late in the year. Tex
Richard drew crowd Of 1900, in
Guiding many of New York's fashion
ables, into his new Garden to see
his New York team open the home
season Of the National League
schedule.
Yale adopted the Richard Garden
as it's home rink and about twenty
five other college games have been
scheduled for the season. The
amateur players also revived a
league that passed out Of existence
several years ago because Of the lack
of suitable Kinks.
Richards influence, felt in the
presence Of a 100000 structure
that can provide sufficient space tor
anything but an automobile race,
was felt late in the year. and it no
doubt will boom every class OF sport
in the coming years.

Deny Bay State
Claims for Lands
On Lake Ontario

Washington, Apr. 12.-(P)-Claim
Of Massachusetts for lands on Lake
Ontario at Rochester which the
city intended to use for municipal
purposes, was disallowed today by
the supreme court which held the
state had failed to sustain its claim
of title.
Contending that under original
British crown grants it owned lands
to the west Of it's present boundary,
Massachusetts insisted that under
the Hartford convention of 1886 Il
retained riparian rights.
The land in dispute Is narrow
strip of about 25 acres fronting on
Lake Ontario. Delivering the opin-
ion, Justice Stone said:
Before 1856 Massa chusetts and
New York claimed under conflicting
royal grants both sovereignty and
title of a large area of what Is now
west ern New York. The controversy
was settled by the treaty of Hart.
ford by which Massachusetts, gave
up all its claim to private ownership
in any part of 1t.
1T does not appear that any at
tempt was made by Massachusetts
to exercise the granted right of pre-
emption with respect to the bed or
the lake. Nor is there anything to
indicate that either party to the
treaty contemplated grants of the
soil and water or intended any limi-
tation upon the sovereign rights OF
New York over navigable waters
within it's territory"

HOUSE PASSES TWO
BILLS DESIGNED TO
BUILD UP AIR FORCE

Washington. April 12--(P)-Two
bills designed to promote aviation de-
velopment both as weapon of defense
and vehicle of commerce were passed
today by the House.
One measure provides for an $685.
100000 five-year building program for
the naval air service while the other
would create an. additional assistant
secretary in the commerce department
to foster commercial air activities by
the establishment of airways and air
ports.
The naval program was passed by a
vote of 297 to SO and now goes to the
Senate. The other bill, known as the
Bingham-Parker bill, was approved
225 to 80. 1t already had received
Senate approval and goes to confer
ence between the houses for adjust
ment of minor difficulties.
The bills embody a number of rec
ommenda lions of both the presidents
aid board and the House aircraft COM
mittee of the last Congress.
The naval bill was attacked by some
members who contended it's passage
would preclude for five years at least
any action for department of nation
al defense or unified air service.
The BinghamParker measure was
opposed by a group of Democrats
headed by Representatives Bland of
Virginia and Huddleston of Alabama,
who sought to eliminate authority for
the new assistant secretary of COM
merce on the ground that 1t would
increase the size of the federal admin
istrative establishment.
Mr.. Huddleston also contended the
bill would infringe upon the right Of
states to control interstate air COM
merce.

GUST METHODIST
PASTOR FOR CONDUCT
UNbECOMING CLOTH

South Manchester Conn, April IL.
'-(P-Guy Willis Holmes, former
pastor Of the Pleasant Street Metho-
dist church of New Bedford, was ex-
PEELED from the Methodist church in
the final session of the New England
southern conference here today. Pre-
siding Bishop Ernest G. Richardson
Of Atlanta, Ga, accused by Mr..
Holmes of having had voice in the
decision against him, branded the
charge as ''unfounded."
The trial" of Mr.. Holmes was the
storm center of the conference which
opened here a week ago. A committee
Of is, appointed to investigate
charges Of immortality and unminis-
terial conduct against the former
New Bedford pastor, held six hear
ings, but little or nothing of the
specific charges or evidence were
made public at any time during or
after the trial.
Rev. George G. Scrivener, Judge Of
the trial" read this cryptic finding
of the committee:
First, we find the charges against
Mr.. Holmes sustained. Second, we
hereby recommend that he be expell-
ed from the ministry, the pulpit of
the Methodist church and this con-
ference"
Mr.. Holmes through his ecclesiasti-
cal counsel. Rev. Frederick w. Cole
man of North Cohasset, Mass, made
request for an appeal but Bishop
Richardson ruled that Mr.. Holmes
had no further rights in the confer
ence and that while he had the right
of appeal this is not the time nor
the place for it,"
In another chamber Mr.. Holmes
faced newspapermen. The compla-
cent air he had carried throughout
the conference was gone. His hands
trembled. His voice was choked
with emotion as he said: THE fight
has just begun. OF course shall
take an appeal" Friends of the I'M
frocked preacher said that he had
aged years in the past week
Just before leaving for New Bed
ford Mr.. Holmes was reported to
have accused Bishop Richardson of
having Instructed the conference to
return an adverse report on the case.
: Bishop Richardson. questioned on
this point, denied any connection
with the case.
why, 1 hardly knew the members
of this conference" he said. Just
few minutes ago 1 shook hands with
a man, who 1 learned later had been
a member of the committee. That
statement is ridiculous"
Bishop Richardson is assigned to
the Atlanta, Ga, area of the church.
Friends of Mr.. Holmes later said
that he was unstrung and not him
self when he made the charge.

gency coal rates the interstate COM
merce commission ordered effective
during the anthracite suspension
primarily for relief in New England
will automatically cease April 30 I'M
less the railroads volunteer to con-
tinue them.
The commission today refused to
make the rates permanent and re-
opened the whole proceedings to de-
termine whether the rates are pre-
judicial to certain other coal regions
not having lower rates. At the same
time 1t was announced the action is
not to be construed as preventing
railroads from voluntarily continuing
the rates beyond April 80.
The emergency rates apply chiefly
on smokeless West Virginia coal,

Pennsylvania mines and railroads
north of the Potomac yards are OPP
