CHURCH UNITY IS
 SEEN IMPOSSIBLE

 "Mlins ConIuNdoK'

Rome. Jan. 10 N-Pope Plus to- day Issued an encyclical which, is taken here to remove all hopes con- cerning the possibility of the re- sumption of the famous ''Malines converaations' of recent years which sought to Ind means of reunitins the Anslicans with Rome.
 The late Cardinal Mercier, arch- bishop of Malines, Lord Halifax Of England and other prelates and lay men took part in these conversa- tions.
 The Pontih, in his encyclicai. said that union Of Christians can only come by return of the dissenting to tho original church of Rome
 In the document, which is the first encyclical of the new year. the Pom tiff re-stated tho church's age-long stand upon the question. emphasiz- ing that while 1t h good to cultir vate charity among Christians. 1t should not be done to the detriment of the faith upon which that very charity is founded.
 The document concludes with . refutation of various non Catholic arguments in favor of the unionist thesis and says that unity cannot be achieved except by . return of non- Catholics to the church of Rome.
 The encyclical concludes with m appeal to the separated sons" and with the wiAh that the day may come soon in which all tho erring will finally return to the paternal embrace of tho successor of St. Peter"

BILLY SUNDAY IS PLAYED BY JUDGE
Ben Lindsey Says Evangelist
 Lives in 16th Century

Denver. Colo. Jan. 10 UP)- Sunday sthl lives in the 18th century and still IS chasing devils, said Ben E. Lindsey, famous juvenile court authority and exponent of compan- ionate marriage.
 "He would be burning witches and heretics If he had his way" Lind- sey asserted today in answering the charge of the famous evangelist that companionate marriage was barn yard marriage"
 Billy Sunday said companionate marriage Is the rottenest thing ever promulgated" Lindsey said.
 "Like others who rush into print on companionate marriage the trouble with Billy is that he doesn't even try to find out what compan- ionate marriage ta.
 If he did he would know 1t Is prencrt legal marriage with illegal use of birth control and illegal di- vofce by mutual consent.
 Thus companionate marriage Is the kind of marriage being mostly performed in Christian churches but 1t is bootleg marriage and bootleg dl,orce.

race. That is what they preach. But Billy Sunday knows. if he tells the truth, that what they do is just the opposite.
 That is, most sex relations in Christian marriages are for the con- panionate. and not for procreation. But. it is illegal in law and sinful in the church." Lindsey said.
 ''All of which is the bunk. It should be neither sinful nor illegal when kept within decent bounds. l challenge Billy Sunday to deny my charge that a majority of couples married in the churches are prac- ticing birth control. l challenge him to deny my charge that. if these Christian church married couples can not get along together and want a divorce that most of them get it by subterfuge. perjury or pollution.
 Billy Sunday is preaching one thing while his church flock prac- tices another. The trouble with Bill is that he still lives in the 18th cen- tury and still is chasing devils. He would be burning witches and here tics if he had his way" Lindsey concluded.

Blind Horse Factor in Sensational Escape of American.

Mexico City. Jan. lo.-W-A smussied bottle Of cosnac freed Ly- man F. Barber. Los Angeles mining engineer from his bandit captorA To four of the bandits who guarded him it brought death.
 Barber, drunken and haggard to- day as . result of three weeks of confinement and hardshtps among the bandits told the story of his es- cape to | friend who passed 1t on to newspapermen. Pieced together 1t was:
 Barber had ! bottle of cognac smuggled by couriers who during hts imprisonment went back and fourth from the bandit camp to the mines to negotiate his release. On Saturday night his servant Pedro who was kidnapped with him from tho Monte Carlo mines near Zacualpan on De- cember IS. heard the guards dis cussing their captives. Barber and Pedro listened and learned that they would be killed Tuesday if tho ran- som of ls.0oo pesos (t7,6o0) wal not paid by that time. They decided to make | desperate effort to escape,
 Passes Liquor Around
 Barber got the smuggled cognac and paMed 1t around among the four bandits who guarded him and Pedro. Others of tho captors were some distance away. wrapping them. selves in blankets, ready for sleep.
 Around the campfire the bottle passed from guard to guard. Finally ail were drunk. ''They completely passed out" said Barber. "They lay on the ground and went to sleep."
 Al the guards drank. Barber heard . horse walking about among tho dry corn stalks of an old field near the camp. In the stiffness oi the night every step of the horse crushing the cornstalks sounded like a pistol shot.
 My idea was to get that horse aa soon as we finished with the guards" 'Barber's account said.
 Killed Four Men
 About II o'clock he asked Pedro by signals whether he was ready Pedro signalled "Yes."
 They took the cognac bottle and some large stones. With these they pounded in the heads of the four guards, beating them to death.
 Barber and Pedro rushed to the cornfield and jumped on the horse'e bare back. Al they spurred him on, shots rang out from tho other bandits. The captives were pursued, but were not wounded.
 The horse blundered and stumbled. Then they discovered that he waG blind. For several hours they rode him. until he was spent. When tho horse tumbled into . ravine and died they continued their way afoot
 Barber was suffering from an in. jured eye received previously when thrown from . horse while beina moved from one camp of the bandits to another. The fleeing men ran most of the night. Sometimes when exhaustion overwhelmed them they stopped for breath.
 At daylight Sunday, they reached a little Indian village. They were treated kindly and after . rest start. ed afoot again for Cuernavaca. They arrived there Sunday afternoon and tried to telephone Mexico City but failed. Then Barber and Pedro got an automobile and completed their trip arriving in Mexico City Sunday night.
 In Dcd . Week
 Barber may not be able to leave his bed for nt least a week. He will probably require medical attention much longer. He sustained an ab- dominal injury while the bandits were taking him As prisoner from

 So. the only habit you ret from cascara is that of natural and nor nal regularity. How different from things ono must usually repeat on the morrow!
