that the Act comforting citizenship on
certain inhabitants of these islands is the
Kiess bill S 2770.
Another bill S. 1888 provides for an
appropriation of 500, 600 for public nigh
ways in the Virgin Islands. While the
report on this bill presents The need
therefor as mainly in St. Thomas the
bill itself does not confne the eXpendi-

1t is also learned that the sugar export
duty has been reduced from $500 to 5000

All these measures passed the House

and there is no legal remedy against the
judge if he actually is Drejudicei, which
is conceivable, although, perhaps, not to
be admitted-but if the Judge is actually
preiudiced and is not conscious Of it and
does not admit it the litigant has no
remedy at all. He must stand his trial
before a prejudiced tribunal. Do you
think there have been those cases IN
which judges have been actually inhu-
enced by prejudice ?
Judge Williams, That is matter for

Senator Robinson, You would have to

Senator Robinson. J assume. for the

No, sir. / do not remember ever hearing

OPINION DIVIDED IN TEXAS.
Burleson and Gregory Approve Smiths
Letter.

AUSTIN, Tex, April 10 CP).-Two
members of President Wilson's cabinet
ISSUED statements here yesterday de.
ciaring Gov. al Smiths religious con.
Victlons do not stand in the way of his
candidacy for the presidency. They
were Albert Sidney Burleson, former
Postmaster General, and Thomas w.
Gregory. former Attorney General.
Gov. Dan Moody of Texas asserted
his belief that Gov. Smiths latitude
on the prohibition question is a
greater handicap to him than the reli-
gious ISSUE
United States Senator Earle B. MAY.
held declared the platform is the main
Item in the presidential situation and
said he did not desire to be drawn
into this controversy" concerning
the religious phase.
Mr.. Burleson, who recently express.
ed the opinion that Smith could carry
the South, saw in the New York ex.
ecutive's declaration concerning the
separation of the church and the state
enough to put quietus on the re.
ligious intolerance opposing Smith be.
cause OF his Roman Catholic connec.
tions."
Mr.. Gregory said he would rather
see Catholic Democrat in the presi.
Dental chair than a Protestant Re-
publican" He added that he was a
Protestant and a prohibitionist and
would not support a candidate op-
posed to enforcement Of the law. "but

homa, Democrat, however. comment.
ing upon the reply of Gov. Smith,
said:
II am wondering how this state
ment of AL Smiths can be squared
with the action of the Knights of
Columbus in raising Il large fund to
be used in opposing separation Of
church and state in Mexico"
Some Of the Democrats who are OPP
posed to the nomination Of Gov. Smith
for President next year today are say
ing that, even if he succeeded in laying
the religious issue. the governor would
still be under the handicap of being a
wet" Indeed, there are not q few of
the Democrats who believe that the
prohibition issue is far more serious to
the Smith candidacy than the religious
issue. The two combined, they insist,
make the handicap of GOV. Smith in a
presidential campaign far too great to
be overcome.
The Smith boom is getting into full
swing, with the national convention
still more than a year in the future.
There is a difference of opinion as to
the wisdom of this course. In some
quarters the fear is expressed that
Gov. Smith will have run himself out
before the convention rolls around.
In others, the belief prevails that he
will have so far outdistanced the field,
he can win comparatively easily in the
convention,

Tornadoes, Electricity and Cloudbursts
Swell Rivers.

KANSAS CITY, April 10 LP)--
Floods caused more damage in South
west states today following series
of tornadoes. electrical storms and
cloudbursts last night.
Heavy rains in Kansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma sent streams TO record
marks again as farmers and residents
OF valley towns were returning to
their homes damaged by floods and
storms in two weeks siege Of un-

Scores Of persons were driven from
their homes in southeastern Kansas

families at lola, Kans., spent the night
in the Salvation Army barracks and

From two to four inches Of rain fell
in central and southern Kansas. Most

Governors Urge Public TO Give to
Red Gross Fund.

Red Cross headquarters was advised
today that governors Of States affected
by the rising waters of the Mississippi
River and its tributaries were issuing
procianlations asking the public to con.
tribute generously to the relief fund
being raised by the Red Cross Con-
tributions are being received by Red
Cross chapters in the inundated areas,
The Red Cross itself has already
contributed $50 900 from its national
fund, but a great deal more will be
needed. Acting Chairman James T.
Feiser, said today Funds contrib
uted by the public will be applied di.
reetly to relief work.
While this emergency differs from
those which come unannounced and
with cataclysmic speed he said, ut
may be compared TO an armed in
Vasion. Tens Of thousands move with
their families and what property and
1--we stock they can take to higher
ground.
The problem is primarily one Of
emergency relief. Few lives are lost.
While the public does not suffer the
shock which comes with a sudden
disaster. Mr.. Feiser said, the flood sit.
uation presented primary question
OF emergency relief, Food, clothing
and shelter must be furnished. he
said, and care must be given to refu-
gees.
These elemental things, plus
friendly and watchful service are the
Things sin which the American Red
cross and its chapters, and, through
them, the American people, are inter-
eSted," he said

CAMPAIGN TO FIGHT
}DAY 0STEOPATHS
National Official Here to
Open Educational Drive
Against Practicers.

DR.. George B. Webster, vice presi-
dent Of the American Osteopathic AS
sqciation, is in Washington TO investi-
gate the situation here by which, it
is claimed, dozens Of men are prac-
ticing as osteopathic physicians with
out the slightest educational qualiflca,
tions. and to map out an educational
campaign by which the public can be
warned of such men.
This is In continuation Of a fight
started by the District Of Columbia
Osteopathtc Association about three
months ago, which resulted in un-
covering the fact that at least so,
and probably more, persons had hung
out their shingles and We're practic-
ing in Washington as osteopaths after

grees in three days from New Jersey
college, which set UP branch here.
DR.. Webster was a guest of the
local osteopaths last night at q din.
ner meeting at the Arlington Hotel,
at which the facts uncovered were
explained TO him. He will continue

Until adequate legislation is obtain
ed, such as the Copeland general prac-
tice act, supported by the District of
Columbia Medical Association and the
Osteopathic Association, which failed
of passage at the last session of Con-
gress, local osteopati1s advised DR..
Webster that an educational cam
paign seemed the only practical
course. The "three-day" osteopaths
and others with no better qualifica.
tions are entirely within the law of
the District, where there are no exam
ination and no requirements what
ever.
In view Of this situation, the Wash.
ington osteopaths who are graduates
of reputable four-year colleges believe
that the best course is to advertise
widely the fact that any one who en-
ploys an osteopath' should insist on
being shown his degrees and make in
quiries as to the standing of the edu-
eational institution which granted

ar we fau into q cynicism which
sours the cream Of faith, we should
get out of the ministerial profession.
Rabbi Abram Simon told the opening
session Of the second annual National
Interdenominational Ministerial Con
ference, at the Metropolitan Church
this morning. Rabbi Simon spoke OF
the doubts and despair which confront
the true minister of the gospel, deciar'
ing that when a congregations talth
appears to he slipping the minister
is most urgently necessary. Rappi
Simon characterized the present age
as one Of irreverence which takes
pleasure IN flouting the law or in
breaking II good-naturedly. This
spirit arises from misinterpretinS
America as q land Of independence
and equality" where the individual S
conscience is the supreme authority,
Rabbi Simon said. and this lessening
respect for political authority extends
TO religious irreverence.
In referring to Sinclair Lewis new
book, ELMER Gantry," Rabbi Simon
declared that if it and thousand 9th
ers like it, although thrown in the
waste basket and the cause Of utmost
discourag cement to the clergy, helps to
drive out those members who are un-
worthy Of the cloth, it will have been
worth while.
The convention was opened by Rev.
&. L. Russell, who presided. The invo-
cation was delivered by Rev. Walter
IT. Brooks, Nineteenth Street Baptist
Church.
The convention will last four days
and many ministers from other cities
will participate.
The National Interdenominatienal
Ministerial Alliance was inaugurated,
in the words of the preamble of its
constitution, ito create and further
inter-raeial good will and harmony and
TO promote the economic interest of
the colored group"
