REALTY MEN UNAWARE
OF FIRMS DIFFICULTY
! Two Members of Board Testify in
Adair Company's Bank
ruptcy Case.
BIZ the Associated Press.

ATLANTA, Ga, July cav. L.
Stanley and H. C. Worthen, members
of the board of trustees of the defunct
Adair Realty & Trust Co.. testified 1T
the bankruptcy hearing today that the
board accepted without question the
monthly statements Of officers of the
COMPANY as to its operations and
earnings.
Mr.. Stanley said he had served rela-
lively a short time as trustee. He
said he had the utmost respect for the
ability of the officers and that his first
information that the company was in
= financial difficulties came to him in
rumors last January. He said he had
never made any examination of The
books on his own account and knew
nothing as to detailed operations.
The first intimation of financial dis.
tress came to him last December, Mr..
Worthen stated. On one occasion
during that month, he said, he in
formally suggested adoption Of a
budget system as to salaries and oper-
ating expenses and advised that an
accountant be employed to segrega-e
the company's varied activities. No
formal action was taken by the board
on these suggestions, which he de-
clared were actuated by a conception
of business gained in his own enter
prises and not through misgivlngs or
suspicious as to the solvency of the
corporation or disapproval OF its
methods.
The hearing will continue Monday.

CRUSADE TO GUST
POLICE CHIEF FAILS
Mayor UphoIds Superintend-
ent in Citizens League War
on Pittsburgh Vice.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
PITTSBURGH, July 2S.--Mayor
Charles Kline today rejected the de-
mand of the Citizens League or
Allegheny County to dismiss Police
Supt. p. p. Walsh, holding that the
league had utterly failed" to sub
stantiate charges it made against the
police head.
The mayor. in an extended COM
munication to the Rev. DR.. Alvin Orr,
league director, upheld the police and
labeled league investigators as men
from outside of Pittsburgh who came
here and enticed young boys and girls.
The league demanded Walsh's dis
missal after w. l.. King, its execu-
tive secretary, made hurried trip to
the West by rail and airplane. He
married a Des Moines, Iowa, widow,
and upon his return said he had been
blackmailed out OF the city by
gamblers and other underworld char
acters.
League Charges Protection.
The league charged Walsh with in
efficiency, failure to cooperate with
the organization in it's drive against
vice, and with protecting vice resorts.
1t was alleged that Walsh sent in
vestigators West to look into Kings
activities in that region.
The mayor said Walsh had lived up
to the demands made upon him when
he was sworn in, adding that during
the period in question the league
brought 80 cases into court while the
police brought in more than 900. He
expressed the belief that a city as
large as Pittsburgh would always
have "some vice"
To the leagues complaint that
Walsh's men had arrested league in
Vestigators, the mayor said the police
thought the men might be gangsters
driven from Chicago, Detroit or New
York and that when the investigators
lied" about their identity, the police
took them in as suspicious persons.
Enticing Young Alleged.
Prior to the arrest Of other investi-
gators in an inn, the mayor said, they
had enticed several boys and girls
into their automobile, attempted to
give them liquor and took them to
). the inn Which had been branded by the
league as dive"
Referring to King as the man who
was prominent for his "aeronautical
and matrimonial exploits" the mayor
asked why the league secretary should
object to being investigated. Con-
cluding his letter, the city's chief
executive declared that to dismiss
Walsh on the leagues allegations
would be highly un-American and not
in keeping with our established legal |
procedure"

arm and help to lift brother who
is down. Here was Christianity in
purpose and likewise Christianity in
action.
The late Tom Hughes, author of
the famous book, TON Brown at
Oxford" was an exponent of what
he called muscular Christianity" 1t
was Christianity that made much
of physical strength and athletics,
a sort of pioneering in movements
that have become more widely iden-
titled with religion today. One need
not in any way deprecate the. new
association of religion and athletics.
More Than Muscles
But muscular Christianity should
go beyond emphasis upon physical
health and wellbeing. True muscu-
lar Christianity is the use Of
strengthen spiritual service.
There is nothing particularly
Christian in having a strong right
arm unless it is used for the accom-
plishment of Christian purposes. In
the purpose to give what one has,
however little it may be, and in the
accompanying fact that puts ones
strength and energy back of ones
gift, may be found the secret of
wonder working Christian service.
1t is surprising, too, what results
are attained from seemingly small
gifts when they express the spirit
of full conservation. Most of the
divine achievements of life have
been by men who felt their own
weakness, and it is appalling to
realize h ow many men of great fac
ulties and possessions have cursed
the world instead of blessing it.

Released Illegally.

Decision of the Vanderburgh Cir
cult Court in finding Abe Silverman,
Evansville, guilty of bootlegging,
was reversed by the Supreme Court
Friday. The reverse opinion was
by Judge julius C. Travis. 1t sus-
tanned the appeal based on charges
that the lower court permitted the
jury to dispense while the decision
was pending. and that there were
technical Irregularities in selection
of jurymen. The Travis opinion
cited law showing that it is not per-
missible for jurymen to dispense
when case is under consideration.
