BAPTIST BOARD SHY
A MILLION DOLLARS

Atlanta, Co., Sept. THE homo
mission board of the southern Bantist
convention today had announced H.
self unable to pay current salaries
due to the discovery of a 81 .OOO 0O0
shortage in accounts of Clinton Co.
mes, treasurer, who disappeared Aug
Is.
Developments piled high yesterday
as a special church committee head
ed by DR.. c. w. Daniel of Richmond
Va, dug deeper into the affairs If
the board of Carnes, before taling
temporary adjournment.
The committee was able to an
nOunce the approximate size of tbe
shortage after it was found that Car
mes kept secret file in which were
entered special loan transactions with
more than $50 banks in the south
transactions which never came under
the scrutiny of regular auditors or of
the church.
First court action was announced
when Walter R. Brown, Baptist law
man and lawyer intervening as a
church contributor, obtained tenn
pOrary injunction returnable Sep. 20
against several possible sources of
funds to rehabilitate the board.
Criminal court proceedings were in
dictated in the announced determine
ton of Asst. Solicitor General Ed. A..
Stephens to begin grand jury pro-
ceedings against the mission treas
urer as soon as practicable. He be-
gan conferences with the joint church
committee for that purpose.
Meanwhile there was little to in
dictate what Carnes could have done
with the money he allegedly obtained
during the period of the accruing
shortage, which was estimated to be
several years.

TOM ALLEY WRITES
FROM AUSTRALIA
Interesting Letter From Well Known
Wrestler Tells That He Has Won
Two, Lost One and Draw in Last
-Four Matches.
Melbourne, Australia.
August %, 1928.

Melbourne, Australia.
Dear Friends:
Just a line to let you know that 7
am getting along fine. am sending
you clipping OF my last match here
with Al Karrasick of Russia. The
match resulted in draw. I have had
four matches, won two, lot one and
one draw.
l am having hard time to keen
my weight down as they make me
come in at $50 pounds which is very
difficult for me to do. The only
match that l have lost was to Ted
Ihye, light heavyweight champion of
the world. And l only lost a points
decision to him in Melbourne.
Twelve thousand people attended
the match.
Wrestling is on a very high stan
dard here. The matches are promot-
ed by Stadiums Limited, the largest
of its kind in Australia.
Australia is a wonderful country.
The area is greater than that of the
United States but it only has a popu-
lation of seven million and is very
much Americanized. The Australian
people are wonderful people and are
great sportsmen.
l am planning on being home by
Christmas time. Hope this finds YOU
all well and prosperous.
AS ever,
TOM ALLEY.

down from the heights of nolitical
power in Mexico and secure from
the chiefs of the army a pledge that
they would henceforth suppoTt only
the men duly elected in accordance
with the spirit of the constitution,
was more than they could easily
grasp.
Reluctantly the verdict was reach
ed that Gales is the greatest patriot
that Mexico has produced in high
office. His courage and wisdom was
praised by the Washington Post,
foremost of his bitter detractors hi
therto.
That Gales has made himself
more than ever the moral leader of
the Mexican people was recognized
on all sides. At the offices of the
Pan-American Federation of Labor
it was suggested that the Mexican
congress would probably seek his adj
vice in choosing his temporary suc-
cessor and that the man so chosen
would reflect the views of the unset
fish revolutionists. Santiago Iglesi-
as, secretary of the P. A. F. of l..
now in Mexico City, is expected to
return to Washington by Sept. 20
with detailed report of the effect
of recent events in Mexico upon the
Mexican labor movement. He is in
touch with Luis N. Morones, head of
the Mexican Regional Confederation
of Labor, who was forced out of the
Gales cabinet by the outcry of GER
Obregonista chiefs after the assassi-
nation of President-elect Oregon
Due to Gales calm handling of the
crisis, Monones' enemies committed
no overt act, and MOrones is again
active in national affairs. He is vice
president of the Pan American Fed.

CONSTRUCTION COSTS
SHOW RISE IN 1927
Figure at Close of Year Exactly
Double That for Jan.
nary /, 1914.

Construction costs rose slightly dur
ing 1897. according TO statistics just
complied by the Associated General
Contractors Of America. The average
OF these costs al the conclusion of the
year was exactly twice as high as the
corresponding figure registered for the
year 1918. Last years cost average
vas identical with that of 1921.
The increase last year is attributed
TO a wage average higher than that
which prevailed in 1926 and also to
generally increased prices commanded
by basic construction materials.
A marked absence Of fluctuations
featured the wage situation in the
construction industry during 1927. the
reports show. During the last eleven
months Of the year the wage average
remained unchanged. holding fast 10
q position slightly above the average
struck during a series Of changes in
1926.
In contrast TO the wage trend, the
average Of prices OF basic construction
materials changed its trend eight
times during 1926. Opening 1927 at
the lowest January figure recorded
during recent years. this average
showed slight rises in February and
March. followed by corresponding de-
eIines in May and July. A perceptible
rise in September. however. served 10
hold the average for the year above
the 1926 figure, despite the fact that
each Of the remaining months Of 1927
saw q decline recorded.
A study.o OF the cost average conlbin'
ing the factors Of wages and material
prices, shows 1927 to have held leyel
higher than any held by any year
since 1924. A scale which places the
1913 average as it's basis at the 10G
plane shows the 1927 average to have
held the index level Of 200. Core

NORMAL CONSTRUCTION
is FORECAST IN 1928
Favorable Progress Is Predicted
by Editor of American
Builder.

A compilation of opinion concerning
home construction for the year 1928.
gathered from statements issued by
editors of publications devoted to the
interest OF builders and building sup.
ply dealers. lends further weight to
the view that construction during
1928 will be notable for its normal and
favorable progress.
r. l.. Johnson. editor of American
Builder, published at Chicago. says:
THE outlook for 1928 is bright for
continuation of the great building
activity of the last several years
While there may be some recession in
the larger cities. 1t is anticipated that
this will be more than offset by the
increasing activity in the smaller
cities.
The factors which create the de.
mand for new buildings have NOT
greatly altered during the year. In
fact. most Of them are permanent. in
herent conditions. Population in.
crease continues and amounts to the
equivalent Of about $4,000 new fam

WHY REGISTER?

Men, and women too for that matter like to dis
what they would do if they in charge of this
that department of the government, or if they
CHANGED to hold down the office which Mr. Coolidge
is getting ready to quit.
Not all of US can be president nor can we all have
an executive part in the government but we can have
active part by casting votes and expressing
opinions to who shall hold office and who shall
not.
Under the California laws one cannot vote unless
is registered and registration must be made
every two years.
This year the presidential primaries will be held
May l. and registration for the primaries closes
Saturday of this week. After midnight that date
