 DRUNKEN DRIVER HELD
Unusual Charge Results
 From Collision on
 ,. Myrtle Street

A truck owned by Joseph Gerica of 100 Beaver street and driven by Benny Zablocki. aged 37. of 2s0 High street, was being lowed through Myrtle street about 4:30 yesterday afternoon by an automo- bile owned by Frank Mazur of 62 Alden street and driven by Louis Golec, aged 25. of the same address. when 1t struck 8 car owned by Michael Szymaczkiewicz of 49 Mag nolia street, and parked on the south side of the street facing east, about 4o feet east of Booth street. It was a minor accident. but it resulted in the arrest of Zablocki on charges of driving while under the influence of liquor and while his license was under suspension. and Golec on charges of driving without g license. and evading responsibility.
 Sergeant P. J. O'Mara and officer J. M. Liebler. who were detailed to investigate, found Zablocki in . store near the scene of the accident. The truck was on the street. the front spring and front right wheel damaged and the glass in the right door broken. William Scheuy II winthrop street gave the police the registration number of the car which was towing the truck. and after arresting Zablocki. the officers went to Alden street and question. ed Golec, who denied that Mazur's car had been out of the yard. The officers noted, however, that tho radiator was warm. and Golec eS- plained that he had been using it to pull down a tree. thus accounting for Q mark on the rear axle where a rope had rubbed off the accumulated mud. Asked to produce the rope and show the tree. he did 50. but the police called his attention to tho weakness of the rope for such a Job and Golec then said he had also used a chain. Asked to produce the chain, he showed one of the type used on dog collars and Sergeant O'Mara and Officer Liebler decided that he was not truthful. and brought him to the police station. where Zablocki identified him as the driver of the car.
 According to the police, Zablocko had been repairing the truck and took it out to try it. He was unfit to drive, the police allege, and de- spite the fact that the truck was not on it's own power. under the law he was the operator. He plead- cd guilty in police court today to both charges and asked that a con- tinuance be granted to allow him an opportunity to engage counsel. Judge Roche fixed bonds at $500 on recom-

Five Are to Be Chosen at Kansas
 City Convention

Kansas City, Mo, April 20.-UFo Widespread interest prevails in the ranks Of Methodists over the election Of five new bishops at the quadren- niai general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church in Kan sus City next month.
 Five of the present 57 bishops of the church are slated for retirement because of their having reached the age limit. Preconvention interest Centers on who will be their success sors.
 \ number of the church's leading ministers and educators are looked upon as potential timber for the episcopacy but only one man stands out. as having positive assurance his larhe will be placed in nomination ,or one of the five places.
 That man was Dr. E. Stanley Jones, missionary in India the past 20 years. who has been elected head of the North India delegation to the general conference and who will come to Kansas City from his station in Sitapur, |. F.. India.
 Dr. Jones is author of The Christ of the india Road and Christ at the Round Table. two ot the outstanding religious publications of the last decade.

 Friends of Dr. Jones urged him to accept the nomination at tn. last general conference in Spring, field. Mass. four years ago. He de clined-the honor hecausc he felt Inc could give. greater service 10 his church by continuing his work ir India than by accepting the admins. trative duties Of bishop.

STRANGE INJURY

Mrs. c. ]. Hutchins OF Good
springs suffered a most peculiar
accident yesterday.
While busy preparing a meal,
Mrs. Hutchins reached up on a
shelf for can, and while taking
it down, was cut between the sec
ond and third fingers by a sharp
edge on the can. An artery was
severed, and the blood spurted
across the kitchen.
Tying up theinjured hand as
best she could, her husband hur-
ried her to Las Vegas, with the
blood squirting all the way. When
Mrs. Hutchins arrived at the Las
Vegas Hospital a sheet that had
been wrapped arond the member
was saturated and huge blood
clots had formed in Natures ef-
fort to stop the bleeding, but the
blood was still being pumped out
Mrs. Hutchins tainted away on
reaching the hospital, but the
blood was soon stopped, and only
three stitches were required to
close the wound. She remained al
the hospital over night, but ex-
poets to return home this evening
apparently none the worse fol
her narrow escape.

Municipal Airport.
Various views were aired and
considerable general discussion in
dulged in. Mayor Hesse who was
present, stated that it was the
plan of the board to expend $4,000
