T0MMIES' SPURN
 REDS' PROPOSALS
British Soldiers Refuse to Quit
 Chinese Expedition

London, Jan. S1 Pl-Attempts to arouse British soldiers against their being sent to China in readiness for possible trouble there, are being made by the young Communist lea que. Before the departure Of de- tachments of troops on Saturday the league tried to arouse the soldiers against the expedition by spreading leaflets and in soTe cases by per- sonal appeal. The soldiers marching to their trains paid no attention to the communists and their efforts fell fiat. The police quickly dls- persed the league members. Sin- liar efforts were made to induce dock workers to prevent troop ships from departing: they likewise paid no heed to the communists.
 Although very active, the league Is a. small body and Is not recog- nized by the official laborites, who also have been bitterly opposed to the preparations to meet contingent cies in China.
 Sir Austen Chamberlain's an- nouncement that Great Britain was prepared for a change on all points desired by China so as to meet that country more than half way has come in for a rare amount Of en- dorsement, Both his policy and the manner In which he explained 1t are generally commended.

.BACON'S ELIXIR OF LIFE INEFFECTIVE
Translator of "Opus Majus" So
 DiscloseS in Report

Philadelphia. Jan. 31 R-Roger Bacon. Franciscan monk and scien- tist of the thirteenth century, had a formula which he offered as an elixir to prolong life.
 This was revealed by Dr. Robert Belle Burke, dean of the college of the University of Pennsylvania and professor of Latin, who had just completed the first translation into a modern language of Bacon's Opus Maius." The two volumes of 500 pages written in Latin have been translated into English, the work requiring four years.
 Bacon's Elixir of Life contain ed many ingredients, but it was valueless, Dr. Burke said. The in- gradients included gold. refined to an extreme purity. ambergcris, pearl. the Tyrian serpent, from which Bacon said the ancients ob- tained the antidote against poison known as "theriaka," dragon flesh and the plants rosemary and aloe.
 The elixir of life which Bacon so carefully formulated" said Dr. Burke. "opened the field of medical research, and while it has no value as a means of prolonging life, it gives us a picture of the crcdulity of the age.'

BISHOP FAILS TO
 SUSTAIN CHARGES
A. M. E. Zion Church Now in
 Muddle of Reports

The dispute at the A. M. E. Zion church has not yet been settled, according to . letter alleged to have been received from Bishop W. L. Lee, anent the supposed busting of Rev. L. F. Aston from the pastorate of the local church.
 Charges. counter charges. re- iterations and denials have gone back and fourth since the affair started until it appears as though hardly a man has failed to con- tradict his own statements since the all night hearing few weeks ago.
 Shortly after the hearing at which 1t was stated in a written report signed by three of the trus- tees of the church. of which H. W. Brewer. chairman, was one. that the minister had been found guilty of several charges involving the misuse of funds and conduct un- becoming . minister. announcement was made by Brewer that orders had been received from tho bishop to remove Rev. MT. Aston from the pastorate. giving him 30 days to vacate.
 The report of the hearing in- cluded the statement that the findings were in the hands of the bishop for action. Rev. w. L. Wel- Ter of Middletown. presiding of1i- e3 ot tho hooYirp
 According to Brewer. letter was received from Bishop Lee, January 1e. containing the follow ing statement: "Rev. L. F. Aston has been removed from the pas torate of the A. NJ. E. Zion church."
 Brewer, who refuses to show the letter. claims that 1t contains the signature of the bishop.
 Tn the meantime the pastor sub nits another letter. which, he says, reads as follows:
 Brooklyn, N. '. Jan. 27, 1927. Rev. l.. F. Aston,
 3l5 Church street, New Britain, Conn.
 Dear Brother:
 The charges were not sustained. In fact, there ought not have been any trial. I have written the trus- tees and ordered them to pay you speedily. I also stated that Rev. Weller has nothing to do with 1t and that your salary went forward until you were removed by me.
 Yours very truly, w. l.. Lee.
 To cap the whole story, Bishop Lee continues to ignore requests for verification of the situation, and Rev. M. N. Green of Plainville Is In charge temporarily at the church.

HORNSBY DEAL HANGS
Refusal Of Cards Owner to Buy Rogers Stock at Hts Figure May Kill Giant Trade.

St. Louis, Jan. 3i lP-Rogers Hornsby's ownership of 1,l67 shares of St. Louis Cardinal stock and President Sam Freedoms refusal to buy the stock at Hornsby's price of s105 a share may force cancella- tion of the trade which sent Horns by to the New York Giants in eX- change for Frankie Frisch and Jimmy Ring. 'Breadon said today.
 "Hornsby's stock entities him to a place on the board" Rreadon said. Tt is his right and I have no in- tention to deprive him of that right. It is a most unusual condition. do not know how 1t will work out. The situation may be such that the trade with New York will have to be called off and we may have to play Hornssy at second base.
 President Heydler of the National League. soon after the Hornsby trade. said it went without saying" that Hornsby could not be stock holder in the Cardinal club and play with the Giants. On the other hand it was agreed that there was no le- gal way in which Hornsby, as a citizen. could be forced 10 sell his Cardinal stock for price which he considered insufficient.

CANADIAN PACIFIC STOCK GOING UP
Climbs to Highest Mark Since
 Days of 1916

By the Associated Press.
 New York, Jan. 31.-The recovery in stock prices continued today with the industrials in the forefront of the advance. Rails also did better, but with the exception of Canadian Pacific which moved up over three points to the highest price since 1916, the gains in that group were moderate in character. Trading was moderately heavy in volume, and ap- peared to be largely professional in character.
 Pools, encouraged by the abpp dance of funds and the strong buy ing support which has developed in all recent declines, started to bid up special stocks in several sections of the list, concentrating on those which appeared to offer prospects of larger earnings this year than the year be- fore. Several large operators. who had been away from Wall street for some time, also were reported to be active on the long side.
 Houston OH, ordinarily inactive. was run up over four points to 73S the highest price In over 10 years. U. s. Cast Iron Pipe extended its early gain to more than five points on a revival of rumors of an early six for one stock split-up. Strength of American Smelling was associated Wit h reports that tha Mayyrao rov. ernment had reinstated several oil drilling permits. which was con- structed as an indication of more liberal attitude in the interpretation of the new land laws.
