HOOVER'S RELIGION
Senator Caraway Comes Back a
Mann-Asks Who Finances
His Activities.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Caraway, Democrat, of Ar
kansas denied yesterday that he had
attacked the religion of Herbert Hoover,
as charged by Horace A. Mann, direc-
tor of the Southern division of the Re-
publican campaign.
MY attention is called to a state
ment issued by Col Mann" Caraway
said, lin which he charges that I at
tackled the religion of Mr.. Hoover.
Before Col Mann is entitled to any
reply he should disclose what his ac-
Invites are who pays him and why. On
hearsay testimony he denounced as a
liar lady who obtained from his office
directions to procure literature attack
ing the Governor of New York because
of his religion, and he should admit
what all suspect-that the lady told the
truth and that he did not.
Nov, as to his charge that I attack
ed the religion of MIR. Hoover. there is
one reply that could be made if one
wished to descend to the level of reply
ing to him at all, but why reply at all
to man who is engaged in an enter
prise so deteStable that even Col
Mann declines to disclose what his con-
nectionS are and who finances his I'M
worthy activities
"Of course, did not attack the re-
ligion of Mr.. Hoover. but this state
ment is not made to Col Mann"

western railroads have contended
during recent years that their earn
ings were considerably below those of
carriers in the Eastern and Southern
districts. 1t was further declared that
trainmen and conductors in the West
ern territory have pending demands
for wage increases which have been
pushed to the point of a strike threat
w ile no mention was made of the
impending increase in Western railroad

two matters had at least an indirect
connection.
The nature and extent of the IN
creaseS contemplated by the Western
lines was not disclosed by the pre-

Merger,

The appeal filed in the District Court
of Appeals by John j. Noonan, largest
minority stakeholder in the Washington
Railway and Electric Co., in his lone
fight to prevent the merger of the local
transit companies, was dismissed today
Noonan sought an injunction and the
appointment of a receiver in his effort
to prevent the local companies from
merging. and his application was dis
missed by Justice Gordon of the Dis
trict Supreme Court He appealed.
The injunction was asked by Noonan
on the ground that the North American
Co. which is said to control the stock
in the Washington Railway & Electric
Co., was an outside" holding company,
which came within the prohibitions
contained within the La Toilette act OF
1918. Both the Washington Railway &
Electric Co. and the North American
Co. were named defendants in the suit,
and their counsel contended that the
transportation act of 1925 repealed
those provisions of the La Toilette act
