Nashville, Tenn, Aug. Il P) = Two daring daylight raids on branch banks by a band of seven bandits netted them s6,17S, result ed in the death of George Parker, 19, bookkeeper, and serious wound- ing of Frank Gabler, fruit dealer. The bandits escaped.
 The first robbery was staged at the First and Woodlawn branch of the Fourth and First Bank and Trust company. where seven men covered employees of the bank and gathered up all the currency in sight, s2,450, calmly walked to their machine and drove away.
 The band then went 10 the Ninth and Monroe branch of the same bank. Five entered and covered en- ployes and customers, taking s. FPS in currency. When the bandits left the bank Parker and other en- ployes followed them into the street and in an exchange of shots. Park CT was killed and Gabler wounded.

BUTLER CONDEMNS
 BISHOPS SPEECH
RapS Leonard for 'Un-ChriS-
 tian" Attitude

New York, Aug. II Pl-Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, believes Right Rev. Adna w. Leonard, Meth odist Episcopal bishop of Buffalo, contradicted nearly all of Christ $ precepts" in his recent speech, in which, referring 10 Governor Smith, the churchman declared mo gov ernor can kiss the papal ring and get within gunshot of the White House"
 Dr. Butler denounced the speech as incorporate, un-Christian and un- American.
 Bishop Leonard delivered his speech Sunday at dry conference at Round lake.
 Men and women of New York and of the nation should read and ponder this speech by Bishop Leon- ard" said Dr. Butler. Tt is vio- lent attack upon almost everything which a straight-thinking American and Christian holds most dear. It IS impossible to uphold at one and the same time the principles of the con- stitution of the United States and the 18th amendment. which is as violent a departure from those prin- ciples as can well be imagined.
 The people are rising to repel the invasion of the constitution by the 18th amendment and to restore as quickly as possible our form of government which that amendment has so gravely distorted. We are in the same position as was Patrick Henry when he cried If this be treason, make the most of it'.".

trchedby the single check valve. Such plants must be reconstructed by December 31, and the tnstalla- tion of the two valve apparatus, he said, would in many cases entail large expenditures Of money.
 These regulations, said Dr. Os- born, were the result Of two hearings held early this summer at which the feasibility of changing factory water plants from the single to the double check valve system was discussed.
 The regulations, he also said, were all possible means of pollution Of public drinking water. Dr. Osborn, in explaining the importance of the regulations, said that large num- Der of factories and office buildings found it necessary to have, aside from the public drinking water an independent water supply for fac tory and fire uses.
 These two supplies were ruin through the same pipes. separated in the usual case, only by a single check valve The Investigations of the health department have shown that one check valve often became weak, or opened by dirt so that back flow of the non-p potable water into the drinking supply often results. The use of two check valves will render such intermingling of the waters more difficult.

10000 UNLICENSED
 DRIVERS IN STATE
StOeCkel May Re-EXamine Many
 Auto Operators

Hartford Aug. II P-At least 10000 people are driving automo- piles in this state without proper operators licenses.
 The state motor vehicle depart ment is seriously considering ways and means for examining opera tors who secured their first licenses years ago before modern conditions of traffic had arisen.
 The age requirement of licensed operators should be reduced to 16 years,
 These were the chiefpoints made by Robbins B. Stoeckel, state com missioner of motor vehicles, in an interview at the state capitol yes terday afternoon.
 Commissioner Stoeckel said that the number he gave for unlicensed operators was based purely on per sonal estimates, since the records of his department contained noth- ing that would make a more scien- tific estimate possible. He arrived at the figure 10000 by concluding that five per cent of all the auto mobile drivers in the state were without proper licenses.
 A large portion of the number, the commissioner said, was made up of thoughtless autoists who for got to renew their licenses at the expiration dates.

MYSTERY WOMAN SOUGHT
 IN NEW BRUNSWICK CASE
Investigation of Hall-Mills Murder Today Is Turned to New
 Channels

Somerville, x. J., Aug. II LP- The search for clues in the Hall Mills murder mystery today shifted to new and unnamed regions.
 As a capsheaf to his pronounce 1nent about "a mystery woman in Orange" the declaration that the state is not chasing rainbows" State Senator Simpson, special attorney general directing the renewed in- yestigation into the four year old mystery, announced that his asso- ciate investigators would leave Somerset and Middlesex counties and pursue their quarry into hither- 10 neglected fields.
 The mystery woman" who wore an orange colored dress when she voluntarily presented herself at Senator Simpsons Jersey City of fees last week, will be examined here today. While this mystery witness" said by Senator Simpson to have revealed the names of eye witnesses to the murder of Rev. Ed ward Wheeler Hall and Mrs. Eleanor Mills, is being questioned, the special prosecutor and his chief assistants will confer in Jersey City to decide whether the bodies buried four years ago shall be eXhumed as sug- gested by reporters.
 Besides the mystery woman" be- lieyed to be a sister of the murder ed chorister, other witnesses will be questioned here. It was not vouch- safed by the investigators whether the vestryman, Ralph Y. NJ. Gors- line, for whim they said a warrant as accessory after the fact" of murder should be issued, will be questioned today.

RHETORIC SHOWER IS
 SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT
Naval Observatory Reports 25 Seen Last Eyening-Phenomcn
 Will Continue

Washington, Aug. Il P)-Approx- imately 25 meteors in the annual shower from the constellatoin of Perseus were seen between 11:30 last night and 3:45 a. m. today at the naval observatory here by Con- mander Asaph Hall. U. S. N. astron- omer at the observatory.
 The shower, in the northeast heav- ems. was described by Professor Hall as being distinguished by rather yell Jewish streaks.
 A larger number of the meteors usually is observed at this time. he added, and the shower undoubtedly would be visible again tonight.
 The meteors are believed to be particles of broken up comet and the display sometimes is referred to as "the tears of St. Lawrence" in commemoration of the anniversary of that saints martrydom.

DUAL WATER PIPES
 BEING INSPECTED
Double Check Valves Must Be

Hartford, Aug. II LPI--New regu- lations in the state sanitary code de- signed 10 protect public drinking supplies from contamination by back flow from the non-potable supply in dual water systems were announced today by Dr. s. H. Osborn, state health commissioner. The most i'm portant regulation which is number 11S in the code. prohibits the use of dual water supplies without the use of doubue check valves that have been inspected and approved by the state department Of health.
 The effect of this ruling, Dr. Os- born said, will be to render unlaw- full large number of dual water systems in factories and buildings throughout the state, that are con-

SCIENTISTS SEEK
 SAFETY METHODS
Will Gut Down 23,O00 Fatal
 Accidents in Factories

New York, Aug. II P) - Prof. Herbert L. Seward of Yale univer- sity has been appointed to direct field investigation in New Haven as a part of a nationwide survey by the American Engineering council, (which seeks to check the growing number of industrial accidents in this country. The councils survey, in the nature of safety and pro- duction study. Is now going on in many of the large cities in the east and south.
 Professor Seward. who will later extend his work to other Connec- ticut cities. organized and operated the United States navy steam en- gineering school of Hoboken, N. J. He invented diagrams for engineer ing formulae.
 Two thousand industrial plants will be investigated by the en- gineers under the direction of 8 main committee. with the aim, ac- cording to Dean D. s. Kimball Of Cornell university, of getting to the bottom Of the whole problem of accident prevention. Industrial ac- cidents, despite Is years of organ ized safety effort, were declared to be increasing.
 Twenty committees with a menl- bership of more than 200 leading engineers are carrying on the work. Field reports Of the New Ha- ven and other cities will be assem- bled in Washington by staff head ed by Joshua Eyre Hannum, re- search engineer of the Eyesight Conservation council of America.
 About 23,O00 fatal accidents oc cur yearly in all the industries of the United States, the engineers have found, according 10 Dean Kim ball. It has been estimated that there are 575,000 non-fatal acci' dents causing four weeks or more

POINCARE SPEEDS
 REFORM MEASURES
Premier Sens to Be Accomplish
 ing Impossible

Paris, Aug. II Pt-Premier Poin- care has completed, with rapidity rarely if ever, equalled in the an- nals of the third republic, his finan- ciaI program for the rehabilitation of France as far as it was politically possible under the existing circum- stances.
 The national assembly in session at Versailles has y vote of 671 to IA passed the bill placing the provision for a sinking fund in the constitution for the purpose of amortizing the 4ountrys floating debt and generally relieving the tangled financial situation.
 It was not without scenes of much disorder, brought about by the op- position of the socialists and com munists, that the measure was en- acted by members of the chamber of deputies and the senate in joint session. Thrice the assembly had to be suspended because of the ob- streperous tactics of the opposition. Fist fights between members of the extreme right and extreme left oe- cured during one stage of the ses- sion. The communists banged desks and hurled insults at NJ. De Sleeves. They also sang the International. One deputy was expelled from the chamber because of his intransi- geance.
 Premier Poincare, it is generally understood. would have preferred to have had the Franco-American and Franco British debt agreements ra- tified and put out of the way during the session of the national assem- bly. and he might have even sue ceeded in forcing them through by the authority he enjoys owing to public support. But he is said 10 have felt 1t would be wiser for him to content himself with what was accumulated and not jeopardize his whole program for the sake or part of it, however important.
 Consequently the senate and the chamber today began a long vaca- ton. During this vacation SUD- committee appointed by the cham ber's finance committee Will study the two debt agreements: M. Dariac ha. been made president of the sub commission.
 If was decided that the commits sion. which is to have charge Of the income from the tobacco monopoly and a portion of proceeds Of the ln- beritance tax, which will go into the sinking fund, shall be removed rom all political conflict, thus guarantee ing the commission against the changing fortunes of parliamentary noIitics, This action. it Is asserted hy those who voted in favor Of the measure. assures the sinking against leakage or against going astray.
 In telling the assembly that the sinking fund plan should be adopted Premier Poincare said that by sucn action "our creditors will find prooi that we are determined to pay all our debts in the measure of our ca pacity."

LEAGUE COVENANT
 CHANGES ADVISED
WilIiamStoWn Speaker Explains
 His Views

Williamstown. Fass., Aug. il P - Revision of the league of na- tions covenant is proposed by NJ. Nicholas Politis. minister of Greece ot France. and delegate to the league in 1923, who is featuring at the Institute of Politics here.
 Constitutional defects and the tendencies that have made political disputes almost entirely European in nature while the economic read justments carried on under the league have assumed a universal character. point out the necessity for reorganization, M Politis said last night. Furthermore. the Eu- ropean character of the political problems that have so far centered about disarmament and security has made the influence of non- Flu ropean powers dispropostionate in those problems.
 There is no doubt that with the development of it's activity the league has little by little slipped from the universal to the European plane" M. Politis said. ''The prin- cipal problems with which it deals, such as disarmament and security, are of more interest to Europe than to other parts of the world, and there seems no settlement for those problems other than on the basis of continental regionalism. The extra European political ques- ton. and whereas its political com patence is becoming restricts more and more to Europe, the economy and humanitarian cooperation over which 1t presides, is becoming more and more universal. In political matters, therefore, there is a fla grant contradiction between the de- velopment of the leagues activity and its present organization.
 "The logic of events demands that the covenant adapt itself soon- CT or later to the distinction i'm posed by facts between political ac- tivity which, in principal, is only European, and a non-political ac- tivity of cooperation, which for the present can only be universal"

PYTHIAN CONVENTION
Scope of its Benevolent Work is Chief Issue Before Session in ChI- cago Today.

Chicago, Aug. II Pl-The two fields into which the order is urged to project a major share of it's be- nevolent program were a principal matter before the convention of the supreme lodge of the Knights of Pythias today, on the eve Of de- cision on the question.
