LOCAL CHURCH SEWERS
 UNCONVENTIONAL TIES
Swedish Bethany With draws From Congrega-
 tiOnal Association

The Swedish Bethany church has withdrawn from the Central Asso- citation of Congregational churches. it was learned today, and has ceased it's utilization with that denomina- ton. While the vote to withdraw was taken by the church as long ago as March. 1925, it was not until last month that notice of the decision was given to the association. This delay was due to the resignation of the secretary and a consequent lapse in the clerical work of the church. No reason for the withdrawal has been given.
 The Bethany church has not been actually affiliating with the Congre- gational denomination for several years. according to Rev. Raymond N. Gilman, registrar of the associa- tion, it's connection being more or less nominal. No representative from the church has attended the asso- ciation meetings for at least four years. and the notice of withdrawal is in the nature of a recognition of an existing state of affairs.
 The future course of the Bethany church is not known. It may con- tinue as nondenominational or ganization or may ally itself with other Swedish-speaking churches. Since the resignation of Rev. Gus tave F. Pihl as pastor the church has been unable to take any action along this line. A definite plan is expected to be formulated ss soon as a new pastor Is obtained.

MASONIC TEMPLE
 AGAIN REJECTED Second Appeal to Board of Ad' justment Made Today OPPOSITION CONTINUES
Owners of Adjoining Properties Not Content With Amendment to Plan Which Provides Adherence to Ex- isting Setback.

A second application for permit to build Masonic Temple on Rus sell street was denied today by Build ing Inspector Arthur N. Rutherford, and appeal was taken at once to the board of adjustment.
 The application set forth plans and specifications identical with those of the original request made last week and denied by the building de- partment and board of adjustment with the exception of change in the street setback which makes the building conform with zoning re- quirements in that respect. The rear yard is now smaller than appeared in the first plan and an exception IS asked on that account.
 Informed that new application had been made today, Judge William c. Hungerford, who appeared before the board of adjustment last week to present the remonstrance of nine property owners, today declared that the opposition will again voice re- monstrance. Asked If the change which brings about the proper street setback would be sufficient to bring about withdrawal of opposition. the attorney declared with emphasis: Certainly not"
 When the corporation appeared last week special exceptions were asked for both front and rear off, sets. The change brought about in the revision of plans makes it nec- essary to ask only for rear yard exception, although the exception will be greater than that of last week. It is believed arrangements can be made for hearing on the new petition at meeting of the board next Wednesday. Chairman Sherwood H. Raymond of the Ma sonic building committee has been informed.
 Property owners in the neighbor- hood of the proposed building not only oppose the deviation from lines, but also insist that lodge room is specifically restricted out of their zone and will carry on their fight on that ground if the exception is granted, they say.

LAWYERS QUESTIONS CONFUSING TO MILLS
Not Nervous, But Couldn't Remember Details.
 He Says
BY JAMES MILLS Copyright, 1926, Famous Features Syndicate. Incl

somerville. N. J., Nov 6-I wasn't nervous at all on the stand yesterday as I thought I would be. Of course, got confused a lot over the way Mir. McCarter kept pilins questions at me, asking them over and over again. l didn't know what he was driving at half the time and maybe that's why I answered like I did.
 I wish I could have given the an- swers as they come to me now that r, out of the court room. I just couldn't think when I was on the stand I was so confused and so had to say T don't recall" most of tn time. I guess MT. McCarter was mad over that but I wasn't lying. I just couldn't remember.
 What I wanted 10 tell him when he asked me why I was so excited about my daughter Charlotte being out so lato one night and not when my wife was missing was that Charlotte was young girl-sixteen years old-and naturally, was worried. I was worried over Elea- nor. too, when she was missing but I knew she often went away for sev- eral days at a time to her sisters in Paterson and so I didn't think of calling up and finding out.
 About those letters from my wife to Dr. Hall that they asked me about. never saw them until they found the bodies and Detective Tot ten showed them to me at the un- dertakers. They were spotted with what looked like blood and I would not touch them. I just looked at the handwriting and recognized right away t was my wife's writ ing.
 Things like that I wanted to tell but when they asked me, I just couldn't think of them. I didn't re- member. was too confused. It looked like they were trying to make 1t look like I did the crime but I'm not afraid. I haven't got anything to be afraid of.

Holdup, Which Occurs in Broad Daylight in Busi- ness Center of Town, Seen by Scores Who Thought It a Movie Scene.

Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 6 R- Selecting a town where there were no marines or guard. three men yes- terday stole a registered mall pouch kidnapped a railway mail clerk, drove more than 200 miles-and netted s5, for their trouble.
 The robbery, staged at Hibbing, in northern Minnesota, was as bold a daylight holdup as ever was at- tempted in the state. and was suc- cessful in all respects, except for the. profits. uu -
 Thought It "Scene"
 It occurred on a principal street, just before noon, within sight Of several workmen. who were not i'm pressed because they thought 1t was a scene being shot for the movies
 Truman M. King, veteran postal messenger clerk of Duluth. was the victim who was given the uncere- monious automobile ride to Minne- apolis. Part of Kings duties include the carrying of registered mail from his train to the Hibbing post offlce' near the depot.
 Clerk Is Kidnapped
 When the train reached Hibbing, King proceeded as usual with the registered pouch. Two men sud- denly confronted him with revolv- CTS and forced him into an auto mobile where 8 third man was at the wheel. King was thrown on the floor of the car and blanket put over him. ThL-e he remained until they reached Minneapolis, 1-2 hours later.
 At a street corner in Minneapolis King was put off and the rifled pouch tossed after him. He ran to drug store and telephoned to po- lice.
 No trace had been found of the bandits early today.
 Only $5 In Pouch
 Ten pieces of mail were in the pouch. All had been opened put onl, one contained money. s5 bill. If wa. first believed that the sack ha money for Hibbing banks, usually sent from the Duluth clear ing house.
 King did not get very good look at his captors. He was stiff ana sore from being kept so long in cramped position and had black eve as a result of being hit by one of the robbers when he attempted to kick out a glass In the automobile door to escape.
 Threo stops were made en route to Minneapolis, once for gasoline and twice when the men tinkered with the motor of the car. King was taken back over the route to- day by postal inspectors.
 The robbers got two hours start on the authorities. When King failed to arrive at the post office within a reasonable time a search was started. Several men working on the roof of building near the depot, gave officials their first def mite idea of what had happened.
 The workmen said they had not reported the matter because they thought the affair either joke or a moving picture scene" They did not obtain the automobile license number. and no trace of the car or King was had until he telephoned nolice here

Mrs. Gibson Apparent

 Mrs. Halls Home Life.
Mills Denies Jealous Quar- rel With Wife-Defense Seeks to Link Slain Wo- mans Husband With Killings.

Somerville, N. J.. Nov. 6 P-With his star witness, Mrs. Jane Gibson. probably unable to testify for weeks Alexander Simpson, special prosecu. tor in the Hall Mills trial today. trained his legal guns directly on the home life of Mrs. Frances Stew ems Hall, who is on trial with her bothers, Henry and Willie Stevens.
 Mrs. Gibson In Hospital
 Mrs. Gibson is at the Somerset County hospital with an acute affec. ton of the kidneys. After consult tation with a New York city special- ist the hospital physicians declared the patient was seriously i'll and, al- though in no immediate danger, may not be sufficiently recovered to appear in court for weeks.
 MT. Simpson failed on Thursday in an effort to have the jury taken to the woman's bedside to hear her testimony. The prosecution's case hinges largely on the testimony of Mrs. Gibson. who claims to have seen the defendants at the scene of the crime on the night of the mur- ders.
 May Accuse Mills
 Defense attorneys have drawn from James Mills, the slain choir singers husband. testimony that he was shoemaker before he was sex- ton Of Dr. Halls church. and that he owned sharp shoemaker's knife at the time of the murder. MT. Simpson saw in this an attempt to connect Mills with the slashed throat of his wife.
 Mills denied any recollection of a quarrel with his wife because of jealousy and denied that he had found bundle of his wife's love notes before the murder. He said that on the day after the murder and before the discovery of the bod ies, he said to Mrs. Hall, Do you think they eloped ?" and she answer cd, God knows; I think they are dead" He said he did not make any inquiries elsewhere about his wife's absence from home.
 Twenty Witnesses Called
 Twenty witnesses called in rapid succession have established the pre- liminary groundwork of the case for the state. Among the witnesses on today's list were two women who worked as maids In the Hall homo four years ago when the Rev. Ed ward W. Hall, pastor in one of New Brunswick's leading churches, was

ANDREWS MAKES REPORT
Denies Coast Guard Has Deserted To Rum Runners-Washingt Chief and Three Agents Fired From Service

Washington, Nov. F-Prohibi- ton popped into the limelight again today in the nations capital.
 While Assistant Secretary Lin coin c. Andrews, in charge of en- forcement. was denying that the coast guard had "sold out" to the bootleggers and was making known his determination to seek legislation next month giving the government greater control over medicinal li- quor. it was revealed that the chief Of the prohibition machinery in and around the District of Colum- bia and three of his agents had been dismissed for conduct distinctly unbecoming to federal officers" when they held Up with drawn re- volvers an automobile containing an unidentified but reportedly promi- nent government official.
 Only "Advertising"
 Reports that the coast guard forces had decamped to the liquor law violators were laid by General Andrews to "bootleggers who need advertising for their homemade foreign liquor."
 While not referring specifically to the latest instance, that In Boston where four coast guardsmen are held for aiding occupants of rum row. General Andrews conceded that there had been some defections. but that the organization under Rear Admiral E. c. Billiard, merited praise for it's activities.
 Wants Law Changed
 General Andrews said that he would again urge congress at the next session to pass the prohibition enforcement reorganization measure and the bill to strengthen the Vol stead act but that the only new measure he will propose would give the government greater control over the rapidly vanishing supply of medicinal liquor.
 The dismissed agents here were Robert L. Livingston, deputy prohi- bition administrator for the district. and agents J. Garter, James Cook and John Fitzpatrick.
 Agents Get Warning Agents may not rush about city streets a:sd country roads holding up automobiles without the slightest cause. using drawn revolvers and talking abusively to occupants of the automobiles they stop" said General Andrews in connection with the dis missals. Such conduct is not be- coming to a federal officer and must be stopped
 While none of the three agents ever will be re-appointed to the fed eral service under any circumstances he said. Livingston may be given an- other chance ant transferred to some other enforcement field.
 The name o1 the occupant of the seized machine was not revealed, but officials said that they desired to lay all possible emphasis upon the dis missal of the agents, and not on the prominence of the automobiles occu- pants.
 "The same thing would have been done" they commented, mo matter whose car had been stopped in such manner"

 Jack Slagle. outstanding back of the Princeton squad. remained an enigma until the last and his name was not included in the starting line- up. Jack. triple threat of the first order. has been out with injuries but it was an open secret that he would be in the fight sometime during the game.
 Harvard Will Fight Harvard's growing confidence, re- doubled since last Saturdays victory over the Dartmouth Indians, was expected to carry its powerful line into the struggle with will to win that would be hard to deny. One of the elements of doubt, however, was the Crimson's ability to cope with Princetons forward passing game and this was looked for to prove the crusial test of the day.
 The Bengals have clawed liar yard badly in the past two years and only once. in 1923. has local team tasted victory since the days of the war.

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. F- Maryland was to be Yale's opponent today in the Ellis last game before they tackle Princeton and Harvard for the Big Three" title.
 While Maryland has not been con- sidered dangerous opponent. the cratic performance of the Blue team In previous games this season has made Ell supporters cautious about predicting a Bulldog cleanup as occurred last year when the smaller college was swamped, 43 to 14.
 In an effort to find a winning combination after last Saturdays dis astrous meeting with Army. Yale coaches this week have made fre- quent changes in the lineup. Noble and Scott are both missing from the Blue eleven in the tentative lineup announced last night.
 The old liners have a number of veteran players. including Linkous, 1S5-pound halfback, who scored his teams two touchdowns against Yale last year. and will muster full strength against the Ellis. The visitors spent the week In working up brilliant forward passing at tack which they expect to hurl against the Blue.
 The old liners arrived here early this morning.
 Maryland has won three Of six games played this year. Yale has won three of five.

the contrary, since then Manley's in
tellectual life became more intense.
He became deeply occupied with the
basic problems Of the proletarian class
struggle. At first he joined the In
dustrial Workers of the World. Like
many another militant worker of
those days, this was Manley's way
Of challenging the reactionary bureau
cracy of the American Federation Of
Labor and their opportunistic counter
part in the socialist movement. Joe
was in search of revolutionary pro-
letarian organization and he thought
he had found it In the l. w. w.
One must remember that that was
the period before the world war and
the Russian revolution, before
Lenin as the world proletarian leader
and before the Communist Interna-
tional Now it is easier for a militant
worker in America TO find his way, but
it was not so when Manley was CROP
ing toward revolutionary working
class organization. Disguised with

the Official labor family, Joe later
on switched on toward syndicalism
and became active in the Syndicalist
League of North American, led by
Foster.
The world war and the collapse Of
reactionary syndicalism, along with
opportunist socialism; the futility of
traditional dual unionism as a means
Of revolutionizing the American labor
movement; the great and obvious
need Of political mass party of the
workers which became so pronounced
since about 1912; all these develop
ments have brought Manley back into
the main stream OF the American la
Dor movement. Together with Foster,
tombstone and several more revolu-
tionary trade unionists, Manley be-
came actively engaged in large organ
ization campaigns within the Ameri-

those were the organization OF the

organization Of the steel workers,
