MINISTER TO RESIGN
Lyna, Mass- Pastor Says He Will Abide by Baptist cenvsntion-Cen- svre1 for Aetions in Paris.

Lynn. Mass, Jan. 30 (CPl--Thc Rev. Chester ]. Underhill today de- ried reports that he would refuse to abide by the request of the Massa- chusetts Baptist convention that he resign from the ministry and from the pastorate of the Washington Street Baptist church
 He declared he would resign as soon as his congregation, which has stood loyalty by him, could find some one to succeed him.
 Action against the pastor followed a recent European tour in which he and other church members partici- pated. Because he and woman parishioner remained in Paris after Mrs. Cnderhill and the rest of the party had returned to the United States, he was sharply censured by church deaeons.
 Rev. Underhill claimed that the woman parishioner was III and re- fused to leave Paris despite demands of the deacons. When he did return he submitted his resignation, which his congregation declined to accept by vote of 242 tor1l.r Since, the resig- nations of three of the deacons who opposed the pastor have been ac- cepted.

Paradise Pond to Be
 Searched Again for Girl

Northampton, Mass, Jan. 90 (CP) Paradise Pond was to be the main point of search today in the investi- gation of the disappearance of Miss Frances St. John Smith, Smith col lege freshman.
 Police and detectives started the seventeenth day of search for the missing girl. still without a tangible clue to work upon.
 Paradise Pond, on the college campus, had been searched early in the investigation, but thick ice had prevented a thorough examination.
 Authorities announced they would dam the outlet of the pond in an effort to free the pond of ice. Should that method be unsuccessful, several holes will be cut near the shore and powerful underwater lights used 10 examine the bottom of the pond.

Wellington by popular. desires was thrust upon his shoulders. In 1919 he was received by the king on reltnquishing his command and re- tirins from the army, when his majesty raised him to the dignity of an earl. He was later called before parliament, publicly thanked and voted a gift of $5O0,000.
 A public subscription was taken and when a fund of s1,430.O00 was raised. the ancestral estates of Bem- ersyde were purchased and present. ed to him as a gift of the people. Before retiring to his estates he re- ceived the freedom of all the large English cities and was made Cha cellor of St. Andrews University.
 In 1922 he accepted a director ship on the board of the largest whiskey combine in Scotland. which at that time absorbed the distilling interests of the Haig family.
 In most of his characteristics Lord Haig was typically the Sotch- man. His manner was tipped with that which was considered more adamant than the granite of Aber- dccn and he possessed that primary virtue of his country, patience. Lord Haie's manner through the en- tiro war is said to have never chang cd, never was there depression or elation shown in his face.
 His reticence and natural aloft- ness caused him to be accused of a frigid personality but his silence was not the result of lack of sympathy, his friends say-it was because he used words as he used men. spar ingly but always with method.
 Lord Haig married in 1905 the Hon. Dorothy Vivian, a daughter of Lord Vivian. They had four chill dren.
