Temple as soon as her position as
pastor can be filled and the present
sduabble between the evangelist and
her mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy,

Torn between her desire to con-

choice and would leave Los Angeles,
according to the Times.
Will Submit Resignation
The evangelist announced she
would submit her resignation to the
church committee now engaged in
reorganizing the business affairs Of
the temple.
The newest difficulty broke out a
few days ago, when Mrs. Mcpherson
charged that her mother, Mrs. Minnie
Kennedy, business manager of the
temple, had attempted to usurp her
place as head Of the temple, and re.
moved Mrs. Kennedy on the ground
that other church leaders demanded

NEW G1IfAIN ~ OC EN-
Geneva. July 29.-(A1-The British
delegation has no intention Of sub
mitting any new prOnosal for tenn
porary arrangement concerning cruis-
ers A British spokesman told the
Associated Press this today. when
asked about report circulating in
naval conference circles that such
was Great Britain's intention.
The spokesman added that the pro-
/ jected Geneva treaty would in itself
be essentially temporary since it
would run only for 10 years and
moreover another conference must be
convoked in 1881, under the terms Of
the Washington treaty, to discuss
whether technical and scientific
development warranted making amy
notifications in the existing size OF
warships.
The spokesman further said that
| the British delegation assumed that
Hugh S. Gibson, chief of the Amer
| lean delegation. had cabled the text
! Of the British proposals to Wash
! ington and thought that the British
! delegation would not. wish to explain
| or comment on the British plan un-
! til Mr.. Gibson had heard from
Washington.
Japs Not Pleased
The Japanese have already referred
| to the conference as "washout,' and
have set Mondays plenary session as
| the date for the final breakup. The
| Americans do not see a particular
brilliant prospect for the conferences

The understanding is that the Jap

were displeased with the proposals.

| view that the plan would curtail the

Japan to build secondary cruisers

British had -relinquished the stand
that warships should be limited by
categories or types, and that under
| the British scheme the United States
! and Japanese navies would have to
accept six inch gun cruisers.

This suggestion was that the

that the British would look IA

that the British plan did not chang

France Renews Debate
Over Voltaire's Grave

Rommily-sur Seine, France.-Discov-
cry in the cellar Of the chateau Of
Scellieres of skeleton partly buried
in quicklime has reopened one hun
dred and y-six-year-old contro-
versy as to whether the bones of Vol
taire really lie in the Pantheon in
Paris.
The skeleton, said to resemble
strongly the form of the philosopher,
has renewed the old story that Vol
taire's nephew, Abe Mignot, caused
his body to be buried under the abbey
of Scellieres, then occupying the site
of the chateau. He did this, the story
goes, because his uncle had been de-
MED burial in sacred soil According
to this theory the body lying in the
Pantheon is that of an old gardener.
Although the Voltaire remains in
the Pantheon were carefully examined
30 years ago and found to be gen.
uine, doubters aret demanding a new
exhumation to settle finally the CEN
tury-old question. This is now pos
sible, they maintain, because the skulls
of Scellieres and of the Pantheon can
be directly compared.

Patent Applications
Set New u. S. Record

Neutrality-suspicious. for pat
ents, trademarks, and legal registra-
lions coming under the supervision of
the United States patent office set a
new high record for the fiscal year
1927, Commissioner Thomas e. Rob.
ertson reported to the Commerce de-
partment. The total number was 49,
1888, or 1888 more than for 1926, and
1856 more than during 1922, which was
the previous high record year.
In the face of this flood of applica-
tions for patents Commissioner Rob-
erton's department has been forced
to fall behind schedule. The average
patent application now takes three
and half months for granting, while
year ago issues were being made, on
an average, two and a half months
after receipt.
The difficulty is in maintaining a
force of examiners sufficient for the
work, the commissioner says.
Wage increases for examiners and
an enlargement of staff, he concludes,
now is necessary in the interests Of
the country's industrial efficiency.

VOLCANIC ISLAND
RISES FROM SEA
Ocean Floor Changes on the
Alaskan Coast.

Seattle, Wash.-News of the new
evidence of seismic and volcanic dis
turbances along the far-ilung Alaskan
coast, such as an island rising from
the sea, and the occurrence of faults
in the ocean floor which snapped the
cable which connects territorial towns
with the outside world, has been
brought here by officers of the United
States coast guard cutter Northland.
In channel off Bogoslof island, In
Boring sea, north of the Aleutian
chain, a volcano, 175 feet high and
shrouded in steam, has reared its
head, according to Commander James
f. Hotel of the Northland.
"The new crater has risen from ap-
proXimately 1000 fathoms Of water"
said Commander Hotel, "ls a quarter
Of mile across and about two and q
half miles in length"
The eruption of the new volcano
has made life one Of terror for the

in from Bogoslof island.
Sea lions on the islands shore
roared with fear. Birds, in distress,
circled about, making shrill cries, then
flew swiftly away. Sudden changes
in water temperature and climatic
conditions killed millions Of fish.
The cable breaks occurred along the
southeastern Alaska coast. One was
in Chilcoot inlet, few miles south of
Skagway, and another near Wrangell.
They were sharp, showing that the
line had been snapped by the raising
or shifting of the sea floor. The
breaks were repaired by the United
States cable ship Dellwood.
An earthquake recently rocked the
southeastern Alaska coast line, but
did virtually no damage. The center
of the disturbance, apparently, was
at sea.

Devilfsh Is in Demand
Again by Coast Orientals

Dungeness Wash.-Record high
prices have stimulated fishing for
octopi in the harbor after several
months cessation.
Devilfishing was a well-paying oc-
cupation for several score men here,
but the market slumped badly last
spring. Now the strange job is flour
ishing with news that Orientals in
Seattle, Tacoma, and Portland are
paying six and seven cents pound
for the octopus meat. They consider
1t delicacy.
For octopi traps fishermen use
empty barrels attached to buoys and
sunk in deep water. A few strands
of wire fastened across the open end
coaxes the devilfish to entwine his
tentacIes thereon. Each morning the
barrels are hauled up and generally
one or two octopi are found in each.
They are shipped alive in tanks to
market and executed when sold.
