MEETING HOSTILE,
WILBUR CHARGES
Declines to Address Farley
Here on Suppression of
Civil Rights.

A charge that a conference or
''How Civil Rights Have Been Sup
pressed to Further American I'm
perialism" was called to promote hos
tilitv to the Government was made
by Secretary Wilbur of the Navy IL
letter made public by the confer
ence. which opened today at the
Raleigh Hotel. The meeting was helt
under the auspices Of the People:
Reconstruction League, which has
offices here.
In a letter to the Secretary, Benja
min c. Marsh, executive secretary OF
the league, asked him to speak or
the subject, Where American Ma
rines and Ships Are Employed to
Protect American Property and Cit
liens" In reply Secretary Wilbur
wrote, at is obvious that the pur
pose Of this meeting is to promote
hostility to the United States Govern
ment and l have no desire to par
ticipate in such conference"
Charges Efforts to Suppress.
Sinister efforts simultaneously are
being made to suppress freedom OF
speech. of the air and Of the press.
w. Jett Lauck, treasurer of the
league, who presided. declared in
opening the conference. The leagues
program to prevent exploitation of
foreigners through international
relations and finances, he said, calls
for: Investigation by the Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations Of con-
cessions which Americans have
abroad; calling Of an international
conference on international alloca-
ton of natural resources, and lower
tariffs and more freedom of ex-
change.
Censorship of the press to the
extent Of the present censorship of
the air would create a rebellion"
Norris l.. Ernst Of New York, de-
clared in an address on How They
Stole the Air From the People"
Radio censorship" he said, has
been in two major respects, first at
the source of granting the licenses
and second at the stations" He gave
as examples of discrimination the
denial of permits to the American
Federation of Labor in Chicago and
to the American Fund for Public
Service, which wanted to erect sta
ton commemorative of Eugene Debs
in New York.
Sees Political Significance.
Control of the air means control
of thought" he continued. THE
political significance of this censor
ship is very great, as the party in
office will have greater power to
perpetuate itself. The present com
mission does pretty well with a hard
job under a rotten paw which is full
of jokers."
With all broadcasting from Wash
ington going over the lines of the
American Telephone & Telegraph Co
and broadcast through the stations
controlled by the Radio Corporation
Of America, Charles E. Rowe of New
York charged. no news antagonistic to
the Interests" Is allowed to be sent
Reduction of the number of stations
in this country would make stronger
the position of these interests, which
are already strongly intrenched, he
said.
The conference will continue through
tomorrow.

PRESBYTER|ANS HIT
BY UNREST SIGNS
Election of New Moderator Is
Chief Business of Open
ing Day.
Hr the Associated press

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO. May 26.-An un.
dercurrent of factional unrest bearing
earmarks of Observation-Disclosures
ist controversy ran through conNen-
ton Headquarters here today at the
opening of general assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in the L. :. A.
The convention program called for
delivery of the sermon of DR.. W. O..
Thompson. retiring moderator, at the
opening. and election of a new mod
orator as the chief business of the
day.
Urged for Peace"
DR.. Clarence +. Mccartney, former
moderator. was among the ardent
supporters of T. J. Willison Smith of
Philadelphia.
DR., Robert T.. Speer. senior secre-
tary of the Presbyterian Board of
Foreign Missions, was urged in one
quarter as a peace" candidate, and
as being fitted TO heal the wounds
which recent dissentions have inflict-
ed on the church.
Symptom of Unrest.
One symptom of unrest appeared
with the distribution of pamphlets yes
terday containing reprints of an ar
ticfe attributed to DR.. Samuel {.
Craig. editor of the Presbyterian.
fundamentaist leader. Modernsts OBJ
jected to the distribution, and the po-
lice told the distributors to keep off
the street. Readers said the pamphlet
attacked the report of the committee
appointed to consider the troubles of
Princeton Theological Seminary.
The committee report pleaded for
federation and urged that no appoint
ments be made to the seminary fac
ulty at present, thus barring confirma-
tion of DR.. J. Gresham Machen to the
chair of apologetics.

AT THE RIALTO THEATER

You're in the Navy Now" Those were the words hurled at Wallace Beery and Raymond Hat ton as they started to work on We're in the Navy Now" which Is headlining a double feature pro- gram of motion pictures at the Rialto today and tomorrow. Beery and Hatton are seen as a couple of green gobs who enter the navy much against their will. In fact they were entirely oblivious Of the fact that they had become sailors until they tried to leave the naval training camp and then they were informed quite forcibly that they were in the navy now.' Not talk ing 1t at all seriously the boys had asked where food was being dis tributed. A long line outside was pointed out. They joined 1t but in stead of nourishment-got hair cuts, vaccinations and terribly flt- ting uniforms. Still in pursuit Of q free meal they then joined another line only to discover that the start of it was located on transport which was about to leave for France. That's enough fun for the ordinary comedy but In this case it Is only a starter for what is to follow. The picture Is filled with gags of the laugh-getting type that made "Behind the Front" such hit, and 1t has lived up to It's reputation as one of the funniest pictures ever produced. Chester Conklin and Tom Kennedy appear in the supporting cast. The second feature being offered Is 'Devils Island" with Pauline Frederick topping the cast. It Is a different story of living death on a French penal island and for sheer drama tic force will be hard to beat. A comedy, a news reel and another chapter of the serial will also be shown.

AT THE STRAND

The entirely new bill of vaude- vile and photoplays which opened yesterday at the Strand Is entirely in keeping with the slogan of Q greater vaudeville season" and it might go even further and add a greater movie season with Richard Dix in his latest feature. Paradise for Two" in which he is supported by Betty Bronson.
 The vaudeville is headed by Her man Berren and Mile. Eff. This !s one of the outstanding vaudeville successes of the present day. In their turn, "Ten Dollars Lesson;' this pair reap a harvest of laughs from their audience. Ina Alcova with Martin Young and their com pany in "The Dance Shoppe" is a pretentious and colorful offering that scores splendidly. Milton Berle and Co. in "Memoirs of Mill ton," written by W. K. Welles, is another feature of the vaudeville portion of the program.
 Next weeks attractions include Adolphe Menjou in "Blonde or Brunnette," which opens a four days engagement on Sunday, and Pauline, who will demonstrate his miraculous feats of mind over matter will be the big attraction for three days, starting Monday, In addition to another great vaude- vile bill.

PROBABLY KIDNAPPED
Chicago Child. Daughter of Wealthy Father, Believed Stolen By For mer Goyerness.

Chicago, Feb. R-Two men were held by the police today in connection with the disappearance of II year old Brunhilda koellner, who has been missing for four days and is believed to have been kidnap- ped by a former goyerness in the Koellner home.
 One of the men said he was with the governess, Miss Lillian Hoch- strasser, last Saturday night, thirty six hours before she and the child disappeared together. and he was held on suspicion.
 Detectives hastened action in the case. and urged speedy cooperation on the part of the police in other cities. on the belief that the girl either has been or will be killed.
 The father, Frank Koellner, veal thy contractor, said that Miss Hoch- strasser. a divorcee had urged him, a widower, to make some disposition of the children and marry her. She was discharged when he learned his daughter had been subjected to cruelties.
 Miss Hochstrasser is supposed to have relatives in Detroit and New York. and is being sought there and in other large cities.
 The woman got custody of the child Monday by calling at Brunhil- da's school, where 1t was not known that Miss Hochstra sser was no lcng- CT with the koellners and she was permitted to leave with the girl.

 On Manslaughter Charge

Chicago, Feb. 4 P,-Nine youths ranging in age from 1T to 19 years were convicted of manslaughter last night by a. jury which tried them on a charge of murdering Stanley Ciesla, in a Halloween brawl several months ago. The verdict carries sentence of from one year to life imprisonment.
 The state did not insist on the death penalty In closing argu- ments. The state maintained the nine youths had robbed and beaten Ciesla, who was married and the father of two children, but the de- fense maintained Ciesla had been killed when he fell during a street fight.

BOSTON SYMPHONY

That the conducting of MT. sergei Koussevitzky Is quite overwhelming is revealed in the contribution of the Toronto Globe:
 "No wonder that the ovation which had been threatening all evening broke out at last and almost passed all bounds. This unusual demonstration was justified by the imaginative and lucent reading of the Russian leader. Every section of the Boston Symphony Orchestra was heard without any feeling of conflict or separation. The themes and their accompanying fllligree were played with exceptional east and smoothness."
 The personnel of the Boston Sym phony will arrive by special train for the concert in Capitol theater, Hartford, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. After the concert in Hart ford the 10S musicians and their H. lustrioue leader. Sergei Koussevitzky. will board their train for return to Boston after a weeks absence.

THRILLS, SEWERS IN MYSTERY PLAY
"lhe Spider' at Parsons Thea. ter, Novelty in Show Field
(By Herald Reviewer.)

Mystery-thick as molasses and just as sticky-distingul "The | Spider" the newest mystery play, which opened last night and is be- 1 ing presented at Parsons theater, | Hartford, for the remainder of the week.
 For nearly half the evening. the audience is deceived into believing that it is witnessing vaudeville show. Then affairs begin to shape themselves and what follows becomes more fascinating, although there are spots here and there which need to be sandpapered and polished.
 ''The Spider" contains all the thrills of the mystery play which has become popular during the past few years, such as revolver shots in the dark, queer disappearances and appearances, apparitions and the finger of suspicion for murder point ed at the wrong man. It is we'll car ried out and the plot is novel. Whether 1t can be whipped into shape to score the same success as The Cat and the Canary" "The Bat" and The 18th Chair" remains to be seen. It has many excellent features without which no stage mystery is complete. There are a number of tense moments which are broken by gasps and stacatto squeals from the women in the audience.
 The publicity representative made no error when he announced that The Spider" a play within play, is entirely different than anything else which has been offered the the ater public. It is all os that.
 "The Spider" will be shown again tonight, tomorrow afternoon and to- morrow evening.
