Residents of Lewis McHardy's home
town today got under way a move
ment to rebuild the residence

mittee formed to carry out the tas,s
of rest oring the house and REIN
bursting the family for the loss they

been adopted by the government, it
was announced, and will be used in
the operation of the five-year $685.

Uncertainties and hazards which
grew out of the character and stipu-
lations of the federal contracts oper-
ated to increase the cost of govern
ment work and supplies" the report
says.
Declaring that adoption of new
contracts marks an epoch in federal
service, the boards report pointed
out that heretofore the federal gov
eminent had taken both ends and
the middle Of all contracts and had
insisted upon such unreasonable re-
quirements that many reputable
contractors hesitated to accept gov
eminent construction contracts"

EASTERN CHURCH
LEAVES LAUSANNE
DiSagreeS With Resolutions Of
Other Bodies

Lausanne, Switzerland, Aug. is up
The delegates of the Eastern Or
thodox church today announced their
withdrawal from the world confer
"nce on faith and order. The reports
being prepared by the conference,
they said. were inconsistent with the
principles of their church.
The fasteners action came with
dramatic suddenness at the opening
u today's session of the conference.
\ hush passed over the assembly as
he Most Rev. Ermanos Troianos,
metropolitan of Sardis, rose and ask
ID permission to make a statement
.'peaking slowly and impressively in
.nglish, he said;
We have concluded with regret
lat the bases assumed for the foun-
l,dtion of the reports which are to
&c submitted to the vote of the con-
'erence are inconsistent with the
principles of the orthodox church
-hich we represent"
The unity so much DESIRED" he
continued, was being effected on a
Jasis of compromise between con-
dieting ideas and meanings in order
10 arrive at an external agreement
in letter alone"
He saw no hope that an agreement
reached upon such equivocal state
nents could remain lasting. He and
MS associates could accept reunion
of the church only upon 1.-The basis
of common faith and confession of
the ancient undivided church of the
seven eucumenical councils and of
the first eight centuries
When he finished. applause came
from half the assembly. The Rt.
Rev. Charles Henry Brent of Buffalo,
Protestant Episcopal bishop of west
ern New York, then arose amid pro-
found silence. He had evidently an
ticipated the orthodox action.
He thanked the metropolitan for
his clear expression of the position
of the orthodox church, but said he
hoped the eastern delegates would
remain to the end of the conference.

SIX XLEADERSOF
PRISON RIOT IN J
FIGHT FOR LIFE

FOLSOM, Cal, Dec. 5 H9-Bitterly
colltesting every move by the prosecu-
ton in its efforts to hold the six
convict leaders of the Thanksgiving
Day riot for trial for the murder
Of Guard Ray Singleton, the defense
late this afternoon gained a con-
tinuance until 10 o'clock tomorrow
to whip its case into shape and bring
witnesses before Justice of the Peace
John Leonard.
The states case, presented in full
today, was made up of testimony of
three of the five guards imprisoned
by the 1,200 convicts and the assist
ant steward, who saw Singleton just
before he died of his stab wounds.
The inability of one of the guards,
however, to identify properly any of
the convict leaders was of more aid
to the defense than to the proSecu-
ton.
But two Of the six convicts, Antn-
ot1y Brown, riot leader, and Walter
E. Burke, were represented by
counsel, but the hearing was not
delayed to enable the others to pro-
cure attorneys, inaslnuch as all facts
brought out in behalf of Brown and
Burke will apply to the other quartet.
The feature of the days session
was offered by Lawrence Purcell, one
Of the guards held a prisoner. for
20 hours, when he testified the con-
yicts at one time intended lining up
the guard hostages and making a
break for liberty behind this human
shield. They altered this plan, how
ever, Purcell said, when the guards
pointed out it would only mean the
deah of both guards and convicts
as the men on the walls had orders
to shoot to kill regardless of the
consequences, if dash was made
for the walls.
Later, however, Purcell said, the
guards when the firing was going
on, were forced to go to the front
door of the library building into
which the possemen were shooting,
and ask that the leaden hail cease.
The inability of G. O.. Nelson, guard
who was locked in a cell at the
opening of the riot with six trustees,
but who later was liberated when
one of the men with him picked
the lock, only to be returned later.
to identify the men scored for the
defense. Nelson told of being locked
in the cell, after an axe had been
held over his head, and of seeing
men in the turnkey's office, but was
unable to point out the men or call
any of them by name.
Guard R. H. McCray, another OF
the men held as hostages, recounted
the prisoners movements during the
night and the statements he attribuc-
ed to the leaders and covering their
intentions of dealing with the guards
is, held by the prosecution to be very
damaging to the defense case.
The assistant steward A. w. Balder.
who was the last man ito see Single
ton alive, testified to 3coming across
the fatally wounded guard as he sat
on a bench in the cell block, and
of the dead mans effort to explain
by motions what had taken place, he
being unable even then to talk
The defense by its cross eXamina-
ton indicated that no effort will be
sighted in bitter contest to save
the six men from death on the
gallows the prosecution hopes to
bring about in payment for the up
rising and the fatal stabbing of
Singleton and the several other
deaths attributed to the revolt.

(Motion picture stars are proteStin!

Shall talent be degraded
While hard earned laurelS fade?
Shall nations be persuaded
The genius is trade?
Shall glorious ambition
To elevate the stage
Be let by competition

To take part in the making
Of movies over here?
Let European races,
Let bund and tribe and clan
Attain the loftiest places
In drama if they can,
We're not at all exacting,
We care not where they roam,
Just so they do their acting
In photoplays at home.
Shall folk from foreign nations
These U. S. A. invade,
And cop the regulations
Our native stars have made?
Shall they delight the galleries
And proudly strut about
And draw prodigious salaries?
