arisen between himself and Lloyd

firmly convinced of the correctness of
his own attitude toward the general
strike, but that he could not and
would not take part in internal po-

He referred to Lloyd Georges re-
fusal to meet in council with the
Liberal Leaders in order to formulate
a policy during the general strike and
declared that party unity could not
be effectively maintained under a
system of rival authorities with sep

The Withdrawal of Lord oxford as

December, 1916, when Lord Oxford,
then plain Mr.. Asquith, was forced
out of the premiership to be succeeded
by Lloyd George.
After the war the two patched up
their difficulties more or less and
worked together within the Liberal
Party. They deferred on many ques-

did not come until last June, when
Lord Oxford wrote letter in which
he virtually read Lloyd George out

George with following policies during

Through the Darkness

Lakehurst, n. j., Oct. 14-(P)-
Headed for Detroit. the Navy dirigi-
BILE, Los Angeles, was flying through
the darkness tonight on a course
considerably to the north of the air
trail that ended a year ago in the
fatal crash of Its hangar mate, the
Shenandoah.
Delayed four days by inclument
weather. Lieutenant Commander
Charles E. Rosendahl, skipper of the
7OO-foot sky ship and senior sur
vivor of the Shenandoah, ordered the
dirigible cast loose from its moor
ing mast at Hos this morning.
AT 1870 the ship was reported
over Philadelphia, and in the mid
die of the afternoon wirelessed the
Navy Department at Washington
from the air over Lancaster, Pa,
that that it was sailing through an
atmosphere almost completely over
cast with low clouds. At that time
it was believed that the sky was
clearing ahead.
The route to be followed was not
decided upon until the last moment.
Three routes were laid out by the
Navy Department.. descriptions of
them being sent here. AS he sailed.
Commander Rosendahl told officers
staying at the air station that he had
decided on route three.
On it's Inflated western trip a
year ago, the Shenandoah crashed
at Caldwell, Ohio, q few miles from
Marietta, well to the south of the
present route, which skirts the
southern shore of Lake Erie.
Route three was described by the
Navy Department as proceeding over
Philadelphia, Lancaster, York,
Chambersburg, Bedford, Somerset.
Connelsville, South Brownsville and
Pittsburgs. Akron. Sandusky and To-
ledo, Ohio, and Detroit. The reg
ular flying speed of the Los Angeles
would land it at Detroit at 2 o'clock
tomorrow morning. Is hours after its
departure. Mooring was planned at
the Ford mast.
The navy dirigible successfully
negotiated the Pennsylvania noun
tains this afternoon, appearing over
Connellsville at 4:30. She was flying
very low but making good speed. The
Los Angeles passed the heavy smoke
clouds hanging over Pittsburgh at
6:15 P. M. tonight.
When the big silver hulk first APP
peared 1t was but a dark blot against
the sky. AS 1t passed down the
Monongahela river a blast furnace
was opened wide in a South Side
mill. The red glare struck the sill

controversy Immediately broke out be-
tween the Lloyd George and Oxford
wings Of the Liberals.
Lloyd George, however, stood by
his guns and declined to be read out
Of the Liberal Party.
He defended his attitude in seek
ing peaceful solution of the gen.
eral strike. The controversy waxed
hot for several weeks while the rank
and file of the party sought des-
perately to patch up the differences
between the leaders. The Parlia-
mentary Liberal Party supported the
leadership of Lloyd George by a vote
of 20 to II and the party itself took
measures to placate both leaders
without offending either.

tinuation Of the federation's endeav-
or to abolish child labor by amend
ment to the Federal Constitution.
A resolution advocating to Amert-
can adherence to the world court
was referred to the executive coun-
Gil with the observation that deter
mination of national policy toward
the court was now before the coun-
try:
in its loyal support of the pro-

The report on child labor outlined

The report Of the committee on In
ternational relations on relations with
the organized workers Of Mexico ex-
pressed hearty approval of the prin-
ciple of religious tolerance.
James w. Fitzpatrick, of Waterbury
Conn, representing the Associated
Actors and Artists. opened the debate
on the report OF the committee on in
ternational relations with vigorous de-
nunciation of the policies Of the or
ganized labor movement in Mexico. He
charged that the Mexico Confedera-
ton was attacking the spiritual
foundations of civilization.
The executive council report had de-
scrtbed the internal affairs of the
Mexican organization as beyond the
scope of the convention.
Fitzpatrick said the convention had
abandoned the principle in denouncing
the policies of Russia and Italy in
Tuesdays session.
He said the officers Of the fedora

the Mexican labor organization.
Matthew Wolf, secretary of the
committee on international relations,

refuse to be divided by an issue not
bearing directly upon the industrial

To Render Decision
On Andrews Case
Against Gregory

In the municipal court before
Judge Atchley yesterday. Albert A.
Andrews of this city brought suit
against Kostas Gregory to recover
the sum of S1S.4S, being the ex-
pressed value of a lsdys dress which
he stated was sent to the latter's
place of business and never returned.
AS certain peculiar and rather vague
aspects of the case made it unwise to
render an immediate decision, judg-
ment was deferred for about a week.
Mr.. Andrews was represented by
Carl Blackington and Mr.. Gregory
by H. c. Marden.
Mr.. Andrews, first on the stand.
said that he had often sent work to
Gregory's place for dry cleansing.
He said that on July %. 1926, Chris
TOPPER Gregory, brother of Kostas,
came to his shop and took the dress
out in a bundle which contained 9TH
er pieces Of wearing apparel. Later,
he declared, the garments. were re-
turned, but the dress was not in the
package. Chris told him the dress
must have been lost. He pointed out
that the other articles came back in
the very paper that the dress was
wrapped in. He could identify this
paper by certain writing on it. Kos
tas came to see him later and said
he would pay for the dress If the bill
for the dress, showing the cost, was
given him.
Miss Deniege Jacques testified that
she worked for Mr.. Andrews, and
that she was in the room when Chris
Gregory came for the garments, and
saw him take the dress wrapped in
the bundle with the other articles
and go out the door with it. She
said that he later returned and told
them that the dress was missing.
She said that Kostas came in two
days later and told her that he'd see
Mr.. Andrews about it.
Christopher Gregory was exam
ined by Attorney Blackington. Kos
tas Gregory was the last to testify.
Examined by his attorney, H. c..
Marden, he explained the system in
use in his dye house and cleansing
establishment. When asked what he
would have done had he received a
dress from Mr.. Andrews, he said he
should have put a white tag on 1t
stamped or marked with the letter
A. He said he had never received
anything but wooden dresses from
Mr.. Andrews.
At the conclusion of the testimony,
the judge thought he would have to
have a little time to study the case
ere he rendered a decision.
