SEES CROSS AS SYMBOL
OF RELIGIOUS BELIEF
Rev. w. S. Abernethy Does Not
Regard It as Mere Reminder
of Christ's Crucifixion.

People were urged to think of the
cross as symbolic of deep religious
principles instead Of mere reminder
of the actual physical crucifixtion Of
Christ in an address by Rev. William
S. Abernethy, pastor of Calvary Bap
tist Church at Lenten services In
Keith's Theater today.
Doctor Abernethy described the
cross as indicative "of the redemptive
plan of God from the beginning" add
ing, the cross is the way into the
heart of God"
The speaker said that too many
churches do not make enough over
religious symbols, adding that he
hoped the day will come when there
will be a cross on the top of every
church and over every church door.
A prayer was delivered at today's
services by Rev. j. s. Noffsinger and
II. D. Amiss presided.
DIR. Abernethy will deliver the SER
mon at the midday Lenten services in
Keith's again tomorrow and Wednes-
day. Services will be conducted to-
morrow by Rev. Frank Steelmann and
d. G.. Roper will preside. An added fea-
ture tomorrow will be vocal solos by
Fred East, a member of the quartet
of Calvary Baptist Church.
DIR. Glazebrook, chairman Of the
committee in charge of the services,
today told of receiving numerous COM
munications from persons in nearby
Maryland telling of their appreciation
of the services. which are broadcast
each day over the radio.

DENNIS NOT TOLD
TO WORK FOR D|AZ
Exchange, Here From Mica
ragua, Denies Secret
Order by U. S.

Flat denial that he had ever beer
instructed by the State Department
to work for the designation of Adolfc
Diaz as President of Nicaragua was
made here today by Lawrence Dennis
formerly American charge In
Managua.
The former charge said he had nc
knowledge of any secret instructions
from the State Department to the
legation or to himself personally di'
recting him to obtain the designation
by the Nicaraguan Congress of Diaz
as President.
Reticent on Reports.
He declines to discuss the possible
source of reports of the existence of
such a secret MESA ge, which have
been widely published and which also
have been denied by Secretary Kel-
logg and other departmental officials.
Dennis, whose criticisms Of State De-
partment methods of promoting
brought him into prominence recently,
has just arrived from Managua and
has been placed on temporary duty
in the Latin American division of the
department.
To Take 60-Day Leave.
He expects to take a 60-day leave
within few days.
Soon after he was relieved at

says he still loves, comes to him. Scholl
declared that he still loved his wife
and did not believe she intended mar

School departed for Gary, saying she
would stand by her husband to the
last and denying that she planned to
marry again.

FURNITURE Jury
HUNG; DISMISSED
Members, Out Five Days,
Angry Because They Were
Not Given More Time.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 21.-The trial
of 129 furniture dealers and firms,
charged with violation Of the Sherman
antitrust laws. ended today when
Federal Judge Carpenter discharged
the jury after it had failed to reach
an agreement.
The case went to the jury Thursday
noon.
Judge Carpenter assigned the case
for another trial on the November
docket, but said that 1t probably would
not be reached until next January.
In response to Judge Carpenters
question as to whether verdict had
been reached the foreman Of the jury
said: I'VE might be able to reach a
verdict If we had more time, but
think even then 1t would be almost
impossible"
Ten for Conviction Once.
The highest number Of votes for
conviction at any time was 10, 1t was
said. The first ballot was reported as
six for conviction, three for acquittal
and three undecided.
The jury did not take kindly to be-
ing dismissed. Members stood around
for a while and then returned to the
Jury room, asserting they would like
more time to consider the case. They
were plainly angry.
A reporter ventured to ask ques'
ton.
Get out of here" said juror, "be-
fore we throw you out"
The mistrial ended an epochal case
in American court annals. The de-
PENDANTS were the largest number ever
brought to trial in one criminal case.
The trial required 10 weeks and the
Jury wrangled for five days. Today
the noise of arguing by the jurors was
so great that Judge Carpenter ordered
the entire sixth floor of the Federal
building shut off so they could have
the necessary legal privacy.
Defendants Numbered las.
Two indictments were returned
originally against 145 defendants.
Forty-four concerns and 80 indivi-
duals, in one instance, were charged
with fixing and maintaining prices
for bedroom furniture. In the second
bill 80 corporations and "a persons
were accused of the same procedure
in regard to dining room furniture.
Individuals and companies the coun-
try over were indicted.
Three companies and two indivi-
duals pleaded guilty before the trial.
Previously others had pleaded guilty
on another indictment and paid fines
OF some 100000.
Those who faced trial said they did
so as matter Of principle.
