SWEEPING VICTORY
is FIRST BIG TEST

Washington, May 2.-(AP)-By
his sweeping victory in the Califor-
MIA presidential primaries, Governor
Alfred E. Smith has passed his first
big test of strength in the race for
the nomination at the Houston con-
vention.
Herbert Hoover, who, like the
New York executive, is showing his
heels to his opponents in the fight
for the Republican nomination 1T
Kansas City, has further advanced
his lead by winning the 20 delegates
in his home state, and stimulated
the hopes of his supporters by poll
ing a tremendous vote.
In bagging CALIFORNIA; 26 con-
vention votes, Smith brought his
claimed delegate total up to l94, 81
2391s short Of the two-thirds neces-
sary to nominate. His claims to 20,
however, are disputed.
The balloting brought the total
Democratic delegates selected thus
far to 670, or 63Aa less than the two
thirds majority. and leaves 430 to be
chosen, with Virginia's convention,
the last on the calender, set for
June 81.
Hoover Claims 396
The 20 Hoover gained boosted his
total claimed delegates to 1896, or
149 less than the required majority
of 545. His claims to 1853 delegates
are disputed. His nearest opponent,
Lowden, claims 239, of which 66 are
not conceded by his opponents.
Republican delegates selected to
date number 1876, with 254 to be
chosen, the last being the 19 in West

NEGRO PICKED
AS CANDIDATE
FOR CONGRESS
First Illinois District Ind0rses
Oscar Depriest as Success
SOr to Madden

Chicago, May 2.-{R-Four ward
committeeman substituted for q
primary election yesterday and
named Oscar Depriest, 57-year-old
negro, as the Republican congress
sional nominee from the first Illi-
nois district. His name will replace
that Of the late Congressman Mad
den.
Depriest, former alderman and
county commissioner, is one of
many Chicago politicians who dur
ing their careers have been the VIC
tim Of bombers. His home was
bombed several years ago during
racial disturbances.
Depriest is aligned with the Re-
publican faction dominated by
Mayor Thompson, but the mayor
was understood to have taken no
active part in urging Depriest's Sc
lection.
The first congressional district is
largely populated by negroes, yet
the late Congressman Madden won
denomination easily over the negro
candidate, William L. Dawson. No
negro ever has been elected to con-
gress from this state, and there has
been no negro member of congress
from any state in 27 years.
Depriest, who came to Chicago in
1889. was born in Florence, Ala,
and WAS educated in the Salina.

Washington, May 2.-tE-
Enough rumors to fill the air pene-
trated on his New York to Paris
flight have been manufactured
about his future plans, in the
opinion Of Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh, who has ut his foot down
on them with such finality as to
make further speculation danger
GUS to the yarn weavers.
The latest Of these reports had
it that all was set for {. flight to
Europe by way Of Greenland and
Iceland, another said Major Thom-
as G. Lanphier, head of the first
pursuit group at Selfridge Field,
Mich, would be Lindbergh's COM
panion on this venture, and third
declared the Ford Motor company
would provide the plane which, up
on arrival, would be taken on 4
tour of Europe.
Lindbergh told the Associated
Press that he was studying the
feasibility of q Transatlantic hop by
the far north route, but final de-
cision depended upon the results Of
this investigation. He character
lied as incorrect" any reports a.
to his plans in this direction.
Such an air voyage, while carry

WORLD union
OF CHURCHES
NOT POSSIBLE
Too Many Obstacles to Sur
mount, Board of Methodist
Bishops Reports
CONFERENCE UNDER WAY
Bishops Discuss Prohibition,
Divorce, Remarriage, War
and Peace

Kansas City. May 2.-(P,-Pos.
sibility of world union Of Chris
tian churches is remote and be-
yond consideration at present, the
board of bishops reported today to
the quadrennial general conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal cnurcn
here.
The matter Of Christian unity
drew earnest attention from the
bishops. who in their Episcopal ad-
dress also considered such contro-
versial issues as prohibition, e.
vorce. cOmpanionate marriage. racy
literature and dramatics. the young
er generation, war and peace fun
damentalism.
The address, keynote speech of
the conference lasting until May -,
was the bishops four-year report
to the 100000 disciples of
Methodism. and practically their
last appearance before the conven-
tion. they being without voice or
vote in flc Or discussions. It was
prepared by Bishop Luther u. Will
son Of New York, and concurred
in by the 43 other bishops.
Union Is Impossible
Taking up the proposed union of
Catholic and Protestant churches
the bishops reported the door was
closed because ."the recent encyclfc-
al Of the Roman pontiff repeats
and elaborate; the contention that
the union of christendom demands,
as an unconditional requirement,
The acceptance of papal primacy
and subscription to the Rom. n
Catholic dogma.
IF there is to be union, the vati-
can insists that it must be by .
return of all the wandering flocks
to the historic fold" q stipulation
the bishops made plain was be-
yond consideration.
Furthermore, little hope Of q
Protestant union was seen because
1--WE find ourselves face to face with
the overtures of the Anglican
church, and we are embarrassed by
the fact that the Lambeth propos-
al, the basis Of unity, sometimes
modified in respect to other condi-
tions, always involves acceptance
of the historic Episcopate as held
by the church of England.
"In frankness," the bishops con-
cluded, ut should be said that as
long as the approach to the council
hall is by this way, the realiza-
tion of organic union is remote, in
deed"
Prohibition Here to Stay
Discussing prohibition the bish-
ops reported 1--WE are in an hour as
critical as any to which we have
ever come. The Eighteenth Amend
ment has been written into our con-
stitution and there it will doubtless
remain. We have learned
by experience, however, that where
customs of long standing are af-
fected by law, constitutional or

Public Opinion Challenged
From Its Lethargic TOler-
ancc of Crime-City COun-
Gil Demands Every Means
Be Exhausted to Bring
Slayers to Justice

Chicago, May 2.-LF-The Sun
day night murder of the 17-year-old
theatre usherette, Pearl Eggleston,
has challenged Chicago public opin-
ion from the lethargic tolerance of
crime.
Three powerful public agencies
the city council, the U. S. district
attorney and the circuit judges -
already have answered. To their
protests against crime have been
added those Of the city governments
of Oak Park, where Miss Eggleston
lived, and Berw, n, where she was
slain.
The city council in a resolution
adding $500 to rewards already
posted by others, demanded that
every means be exhausted by police
to bring the girls slayers to justice.
"The entire city" said the resolu-
tion, lis stunned with horror at the
wanton, cold-blooded murder of Miss
Eggleston. This crime is a serious
challenge to organized government" !"
George E. Q. Johnson. U. S. dis
trict attorney, declared that the fed
cral government might be compelled
to intervene unless public opinion
itself ended crime and its union
with politics.
Circuit judges appointed three Of
their number to investigate charges
of the Chicago crime commission
that criminals have made a mockery
of justice here.
Rewards Total S2.1OO
Rewards totaling $2.100 have
been offered. including $500 by the
city Of Berwyn and $1,000 by the
management of tn. Ritz theatre.

where she was shot by one Of. three
men. who robbed the ticket office
Sunday night.
The girls funeral today took on
the attributes of solemn civic rite.
The mayor Of Berwyn and the alder
men of that suburb were to attend
in body, as were official repre-
sentatives of Oak Park and Chicago.
Public interest and indignation
was attested in the great floral
tributes that descended upon the
modest home Of the young woman
who, virtually unknown in life. has
become in death a martyr to the
campaign against crime.
The intensive man hunt, which
was started within a few minutes
after the Eggleston girl fell to the
floor Of the cashiers cage with q
bullet through her abdomen, result
ed in the arrest today of Daniel
Rooney. 20. Of Chicago. He was
partially identified as one Of thu
group responsible for the holdup and

REVOLUTION
LOSS LARGE
Cost Estimated at $4,000, 900
and Between 1,5OO and
1000 Lives

Managua, Nicaragua, May 2.-IP)
-Terming the current revolution
the worst in 100 years, the annual
report of Colonel Clifford D. Ham,
collector general Of customs, e,-
Inmates its cost at more than $780,
100000 and between 1900 and 2,OOU
in Nicaraguan lives. The loss of
life is considered a high proportion
for a small country and it would
amount to more than $4,000 if ap-
piled to the United States on the
same ratio.
The monetary cost is declared to
be q big sum for Nicaragua to di-
vert from public improvements and
the country can not even pay one
half of the claims filed with the
claims commission. These arc more
than $17,O00,000 and they cover
property destroyed and COM
mandeered by both governmental
and revolutionary forces. The
claims are for damages up to
March 81, 1928, and do not include
any damages done lately by rebels
in the La Luz and Pts Pts mining
regions. The largest single claim is
close to $1,000, 900 and was filed by
Charles Buffers, American owner
Of the San Albino gold mine, which
was destroyed by forces Of the re-
bel General Augustine Sandino.
Other expenditures were: More
than $2,OO0,0OO diverted from gov
ernment revenues intended for 9TH
er purposes. $180,000 used for mill
tary expenditures instead Of paying
salaries due to teachers, 1921 900
due the governments Of the United
States and salvador for arms and
ammunition. 1854 900 for voluntary
and forced loans to the government
from citizens, $4,000 due to New
Orleans banks for loans. $4,000 due
