 Ice Into IS Feet Of Water

Oakland, Me, Feb. 6 (AP)-Of four persons who essayed short cut across Lake Mcssalonskce near here, three were drowned. ali of them women, and the fourth, Brett Morse, $, of Watervlle, driver of the en- closed car in which all were riding. was saved.
 Morse, the only one of the four who was able to escape from the ma chine as it sank into IS feet of water, was pulled out by Harry Ware. B. husband of one of the women wlio perished.

 The party was on its way 10 q sum- mcr camp for Sunday dinner. At the spot where the accident occurred q sand bar Juts into the lake and a spring keeps the water open through much of the winter. The ice was only tour inches thick yesterday.
 A hastily recruited force of several hundred men attached ropes to the submerged car and finally managed 10 pull 1t near enough to the surface to allow a hole to be chopped through the roof and the bodies recovered.
 During the operations the entire party was several times put in peril when the ice sagged and threatened to glve. way. No attempt was made to retrieve the automobile.

''The same js true of religious liberty. The pages of history are crimson with the blood shed for conscience sake. Now there is no burning of saints. Then think of the change that has been wrought in public worship. The people were not permitted to open their mouths even to sing. Now it is our glori- ous privilege to stand and sing the praises of God in our glorious carols and hymns. Preaching was given place in worship: but let Us be careful that we do not make the sermon q menace-that we do not come to church merely to hear the sermon, but that we come to wor- ship God; that should be our pri- mary motive for coming to church.
 "Then think ot the beautiful hymns and carols tkat Luther wrote. Think of that great battle hymn of the Reformation--'A Mighty For tress Is Our God
 Luther gave up the ideal of the Christian home. He set the example of charming and happy family life. We live in . new world today, ylen. and we should raise our hearts to God in gratitude for the privileges that are ours. .-...
 Freedom to Investigate.
 We have absolute freedom If in- vestigation. We are not told this you must not investigate or that you must investigate.' And .h, what an immense impulse the Reforma- tion gave to science. Do you believe that If it had not been for the Re- formation we would have gone for ward in scientific development as We have done? I do not.
 ''The best illustration of the prac- tical outcome of Luther's principles respecting the church and state we see right .here in America. The Pnri- tans came because they were per- secuted beyond the sea. They came to this new land. but they had rot been here very long before they themselves began to persecute the Quakers and others.
 Down on the Delaware river there was a colony of Swedes sent over hy the great King Gustavus Adolphus. He said 10 them. When you meet with the Indians over there in America you must treat them in the most humane manner possible. You must not take the land away from them. buy it from them: pay for everything you get from the Indians
 America owes her price of civil liberty to Martin Luther. Only six teen years after the Puritans land ed on the shores of Massachusetts a Swediah Lutheran church was dedi- cated in Tinicum, Pa.
 Thank God Cor the great heroes of the faith who have blazed their way through history, and may we follow in their steps and go on and on toward greater and more inten- sive work for the Kingdom of God"

DISCUSS ATTACK
 BY EIGHT NATIONS
Latin-American Republics Re.
 sent Right of Intervention

Havana, Feb. 6 (APl-The attack of eight Latin American republics on the right of one nation to intervene in the affairs of another dominated the atmosphere of the Pan American conference today.
 Preliminary conversations among chiefs of delegations were held to determine the attitudes they would assume ill the special sub committee appointed to pass upon this subject oi the fundamental rights and duties oi states.
 The attack came suddenly Saturday after Charles Evans Hughes, chief oi tho United States delegation, had promised the report oi Dr. Victor Maurtua of Peru the full aud uneon- oitional support of the American gov crnment. Dr. Maurtuas report ex- pounded the principle that the inde- pcndencc of countries is correlated with their duty not to interfere with or violate the rights of other states. :"
 This was attacked as too vague. The Rio Janeiro jurists report saying mo stdtt 1iidA lllttIAe1lC III 1nC internal affairs oi another was urged in its stead.
 The attack on the Maurtua report was led by Argentina and Mexicr Guatemala, Salvador, Santo Domingo. Honduras, Colombia and Uruguay joined in assailing it.
 The United States delegation was optimistic that q final agreement would be reached. but other delegates i were wary ill predicting what the final outcome of the sub committees work would be. This committee probably will not meet for several days since a plenary session is scheduled for to- morrow and the arrival of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh here on We'd n2sday' is expected to cut short the work of the congress that day.
 The committee on the Pan Amer loan union at its meeting today had before it the last remaining article of the new convention for the union. his defined the formalties under which q country could withdraw from the union. The reporter suggested that two years notice should be made necessary.

 BATTLE IN OHIO
Friends of Secretary and Senator toFight for Delegates

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 6 (AP)-The first formal step in behalf of Secrc- tary Herbert Hoovcr's candidacy for the republican, presidential nomina- ton has been taken by his Ohio sup porters. At the same time they have drawn the battle lines against efforts of Senator Frank B. Willis to obtain Ohio's delegation to the national con- yention. ., Thad II. Brown, former secretary of state of Ohio, and Robert A. Taft. former majority leader of the Ohio house of representatives, called q meeting of Hoover's Ohio friends to- day for the purpose of preparing an address urging him to enter the state primaries as candidate for presi- dent.
 The meeting. besides marking the first formal step ill behalf of Mir. Hoover's candidacy, has added signi. ficancc because the secretary of com- mercc has not formally announced his intention to seek the nomination. He is reported at Washington to have assured his friends he will enter the Ohio lists at once if an address is made to him. backed by consider able showing of public sentiment and he must formally announce his candidacy if he is to seek delegates from Ohio pledged to vote for him at the national convention.
 The meeting today, it is thought, will bring the conflict between Hoov- CT and Senator Willis into the open at once. That there would be such conflict has grown more obvious each day since last Friday when the re- publican state central committee en- dorscd Senator Willis candidacy by a vote of l9 to l, while at the same time Congressman Theodore E. Bur ton of Cleveland asserted in Wash ington that the sentiment i'll Ohio is for Hoover"
 Answering reports from Washing ton last night that he is 10 manage the Hoover pre-eonvention campaign, Mir. Brown dcclared: 1t has not been discussed. Mir. Hoover has never an nounced that he is candidate for president; therefore he has no need for campaign manager"
 Mir. Brown declined to reveal the names of those who would attend the conference.
 At the time of Browns announce ment Mir. Taft was enroute to New York.
 Mir. Taft's support of the Hoover cause is in line with Hamilton county republican organization policy in op- posing the candidacy of Senator Will lis. designated by the state central committee as "Ohio's fayorite son. The sole vote against endorsement of Senator Willis in Fridays meeting was cast by P. Lincoln Mitchell, Hamilton county.

IS BOATS FOUND
 IN TU7'S TOMB
Wsrt to Carry Him to Heaven, Carter Says

Cairo, Egypt, Feb. 6 (AP)-Eigh. Tut.Ankh- Amen to heaven have been found in his tomb.
 These and other finds in the third and fourth chambers are described in report, just made public, of Howard Carter in charge of the work of ex- ploring the tomb.
 The ffotilla is reminder of the an- eient custom of providing the dead with means of transport to the other world, thus making them independent of the services of Charon. (Charon in Greek mythology was morose old man whose duty it was to ferry the souls of the deceased over the Styx The Encyclopedia Britannica says "As ferryman of the dead he is not mentioned in Homer or Hesiod and in this character is probably of Egyptian origin".)
 Another discovery in the third chamber, where the boats were, was a number of beautifully carved figures of human beings, these were to Serve as substitutes for King Tut-Ankh. Amen in case Osiris, ruler of the dead. should impose tasks of peni. tence upon his new subject which would not be behtting to the dignity of one who was king upon the earth.
 The report also describes the ca. nopie jar of carved alabaster contain. ing the Egyptian rulers viseera. and an elaborate canopic chest enclosing the jar. The chest, also of alabaster is guarded at each corner by a liielikc statuete of the Tutelary goddess. Inside the chest, four receptacles each containing a reproduction of the great gold coffin of the king, were found. The kings head, finely sculp- tured in alabaster, was on each cover What were supposed to be the heir looms were in another nest of cof- fins. One of them contained a gold statuete of Amenhotep, a predeces- sor of King Tut-Ankh- Amen, and a lock of hair of Queen Tyl.
 The fourth chamber was found in extreme disorder by Carter. It was evidently done by robbers seeking gold. Apparently intended for the storage of oils, wines and foodstuffs for the use of the king in the lands beyond the grave, it also contained an overflow of funeral paraphenalia.
 The contents of this chamber are still to be thoroughly examined. In the meantime work on the tomb has been suspended and it is now open to the public.

DEAD MAN YET TO
 BE IDENTIFIED Police Trying to Discover Who Murdered Individual Was

Somcrvillc, N. J., Feb. 6 (AP)-The identity of the body of man, who with ten feet of sash cord wrapped about his neck. was found ill a field in Basking Ridge, puzzled police to- day.
 Police said they also were without clues as to the slayer or motive for the crime.
 The body, fully clothed with part of a paJamas suit underneath the outer garments, was discovered by Elmer A. Crane, a Bernardsyillc schoolboy who was inspecting some traps.
 County Physician George L. Mack said that ill his opinion, death had been caused by the blow in the face with lead pipe.
 Dr. Mack also stated that he be- lieved the man had been killed at some place other than where the body was found. because although it ralned heavily Saturday night and early Sunday morning, the clothes were not wet.
 The victim was about 10 years old,

SEARCH FOR GUNMAN
Police Scour New Jersey City for Person Who Fired Revolver Shot at Pastor Through Church Window.

Newark, x. J., Feb. 6 (AP)-Still insisting that he had no enemies who would want to take his life, the Rev. Dr. Clarence Bleakney. pastor of the Roseville Baptist church, continued today in the belief that the bullet which pierced window and showered him with glass as he delivered his vcsper sermon last night was acci- dental. .
 Police, however. who last night made known the fact that they were working on the theory that delib- crate attempt had been made on the pastors life, had not abandoned the idea.
 Dr. Bleakney had just started his sermon when the crack of a revolver was heard, and bullet crashed through big, stained glass window behind him and embedded itself in the rear balcony.
 With blood flowing from several minor glass cuts on his head, Dr. Bleakncy had the congregation which had become panic stricken. join in the singing of hymn and this prevented a possible stampede to the door.

Possibility of Huge Theft
Shown by WaISman, in
Urging Protection.

Large sums of public money in
the indianapolis school bonded in
debtednesS sinking fund have been
protected inadequately from loss for
years, Albert F. Walsman, school
business director, revealed today.
Walsman has suggested to the
school board the appointment of
three trustees, under heavy bond,
to safeguard the fund.
Under the present system, he said
with several hundred thousand dol
lars in the fund at times, it would
not be difficult for a dishonest en-
ploye to misappropriate a large part
of the funds without being detected
for years.
1.-The school city Is building up
it's sinking fund to meet heavy
principal payments, $958,O00 being
due in 1938-1939, and $4,520,000 in
1882 1940," he said.
THUS, at one time, shortly be-
fore these payments are due, there
will be as much as 100000 n the
fund. Between now and then, some
school employee might be tempted
to steal a part of this fund"
Walsman added that he meant to
cast no reflection on any one con-
nected with the schools, but con-
sidered the trusteeship merely as
a precautionary measure.
In explaining weakness of the
present system, he said:
Some future attache of the board
could issue a voucher for $250000,
or 100000, payable to John Smith,
for a certain number of AZ per cent
Liberty bonds.
THE school official could deposit
the check in a Chicago bank ac-
count he previously had opened in
the name of John Smith and check
out the money.
1.-THE imaginary bonds would not
be missed probably until time to
meet the heavy bond payments, in
1899, and even then it would be
impossible to prove that the school
official was the John Smith to
whom the check was issued"
