BANDITS SOUGHT
FOR KILLING OF
STATE TROOPER
Girl Among Trio Hunted for
Staying: Pennsylvania
Police on Job.

:
NEW CASTLE, Pa, Dec. 28.--
Fresh details OF state policemen to-
day joined the search in this district
for three bandits who Friday shot
and killed a motor patrolman and
wounded another. The belief is held
that the killers may have failed to
break through police lines Friday
night and have hidden in some
small Pennsylvania town.
The trio of bandits, one of whom
is blonde girl, shot down Corporal
Brady Paul and wounded Private
Ernest Moore of the state highway
patrol force, when the two officers
attempted to stop them on the But
ler-New Castle road after they had
held up a store in Butler, Pa.
A rumor that the fugitives had
passed through North Jackson, O.,
was being investigated today. AL
though the town is on their route
of escape, it was believed the killers
had failed to break through the
guarded roadways and remained in
hiding in Pennsylvania.
Hundreds of policemen in four
states remained on guard through
out the night. They will continue on
guard until scme definite word about
the bandits has been received here
or in Ohio, it was said.
Offer of a $1,000 reward, voted
Friday night by Lawrence county
commissioners spurTed motorists to
join in the search. The amount viii
be paid upon the capture of the trio,
dead or alive.

Excessive Importation Is
Threat, Association
Speaker Says.

Cooperative marketing of all
foodstuffs and legislative action to
protect farmers from excessive i'm
portation were urged as relief meas
ures for the American farmer at a
meeting of the Indiana Producers
Commission Association at the
SEVERN Friday.
In the main address, Elmer A.
Beamer, National Livestock Pro-
ducers Association president, de-
clared that the farmer does not
need to know how to increase pro-
duction, but must find a means of
marketing the present production.
Importation of farm products
from foreign countries increases the
available supply of farm products
by about 100000 acres" he said.
More than 100 association mem
berS attended the meeting. DAN

tors and jeff Miles of MartinSYille

fractional fighting in the public
service commission, reflected again
Friday in the split over the La

portions that Governor Harry G.
Leslie may take a hand, it was re-
ported at the statehouse today.
once more Chairman John w.
McCardle of the commission took an
order completely out of the hands Of
the hearing commissioner and re-
wrote 1t himself. The result in the
La Porte case is the same as in the
Terre Haute case last Week-tele-
phone subscribers must pay higher
rates.
Twice the La Porte company was
refused temporary rate increases.
Then it petitioned to make the in
creases permanent and McCardle
with the aid of Commissioners How
ell Ellis and Jere West gave ma
jortty commission approval.
Dictated Verbally
AS In the Terre Haute case, the
two commissioners put their ap-
proval on the order dictated YER
bally by the chairman. Then Nc
Cardle took it to his office and be-
gan debating it to his stenographer.

first petition was brought in several
months ago.
Commissioner Frank Singleton,
who heard the petition, accom-
panied part-time by McCardle,
wrote on the revamped McCardle
order Commissioner Singleton, who
heard this case, dissents.'
Mcintosh Dissents
Commissioner Calvin Mcintosh
stated he will present a dissenting
opinion. Neither Singleton nor Nc
IntoSh approved the general rate in
creases. just what these will be,
could not be learned. McCardle
stated that the complete text of the
order would not be available for
some time.
Rowley, however, expressed salts
faction with his victory. He denied
that he had talked to Governor
Leslie regarding the case.
1t was reported generally that the
Governor has been given word about
commission divisions and will call
in the commissioners and straight
en- them out"
This is taken to mean, generally,
that he will back McCardle, who
was made chairman because it was
considered to be Leslies wish. 9th
erS, however, declare that Leslie
hasn't the utility viewpoint" as
much as the majority commission
ers believe.

FIND BABE NOT
MENTAL WHALE
Study of RefIexeS at Birth
Proves Negative.
BIZ Science Sprrice

By Science SerUtce
DES MONIES, Dec. 23.-Babies
have been given mental tests within
fifteen minutes after their arrival
in this strange world. But other
babies need not be alarmed lest this
become ansAmerican custom, for the
brand-new human beings proved
their independence or superiority to
the mental test ordeal. They were
perfectly content to let the psy-
biologists set them down on record
as having mo mental integration. "
DR.. Paul H. Furfey of the Catholic
University of America described
these unusual experiments before
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science here this
morning. SiXty-two babies between
the ages of fifteen minutes and f1f-
teen days were tested, he said, to see
at what age of life a baby's general
intelligence begins to function.
Babies begin to display mental
alertness by following moving OBJ
jects with their eyes, by grasping
with foot or hand when an object
is placed within reach, by reacting
to a bell, and by other ref1exes.
The ratings made by the youngest
babies on some of these simplest
tests led Dr. Furfey to conclude that
the infant at birth is not a mental
unit. BY the time the baby is one
month old, however, he has become
an integrated mental whole, as has
been determined previously. The
factor which brings about this de-
velopment probably is the sheathing
of the nerve tracts with myelin, DR..
F'llrfey said.

DIVORCE DECREE
. FINISHES FIGHT
OF RHINELANDER
Scion of Eastern Family
Finally Is Freed of
Marital Bonds.

BIZ United Press
LAS VEGAS, New, Dec. 28.-Leon-
ard Kip Rhinelander was free to-
day of the marital bonds that tied
him to Alice Jones Rhinelander,
daughter of a Negro hack driver,
after years of annulment and di-
vorce litigation.
The scion of a prominent New
Rochelle On. " family was grant
ed decree on the ground of de-
sertion here Friday. There was
no mention of a settlement.
The echo of what probably was
the most Sensational annulment trial
ever held in America came after
Rhinelander had spent six months
in the Nevada hills, establishing
legal residence. The hearing in the
east at which the young million
aire sought to obtain his freedom
on the grounds his wife had con-
cealed her Negro blood was par
alleled in some degree in the
charges he made in his divorce
complaint and his testimony yes
terday.
Taking advantage of his youth
and inexperience, he charged, Alice
Jones used artif1ce and vile to lure
him away from his family and
friends. They were married in Oc-
tober, 1924, in New Rochelle, and
his family disinherited him soon
afterWard, he stated.
Estrangement from his family, he
claimed, caused him humiliation and
distress of mind that brought on a
nervous disorder necessitating his
leaving his wife.
Rhinelander said he had provid-
ed literally for his wife since their
separation.

CRISIS REACHED
BY BRITAIN ON
POLICY IN INDIA
Stormy Session Forecast
Sunday at Meeting
on Home Rule.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-Sunday
may usher in another and perhaps
bloody crisis for British rule in In
dia. -
On that day, the Indian national
congress meets at Lahore to discuss
home rule and stormy session is
forecast. The country is hopelessly
divided into two dissenting camps,
one demanding complete 1ndepend-
ence and separation from England,
the other pleading for acceptance
of Premier MacDonalds invitation
to round table conference at Lon
don to discuss dominion status.
Even the moderate, it is reported,
however, are demanding an i'm
mediate and very definite promise
of a status, such as Canada, Ire
land, Australia, South Africa and
New Zealand enjoy, and have made
this plain to the government at Lon
don. But widespread opposition to a
qualified acceptance of the round
table invitation is reported in the
most unexpected places, and if the
crisis is passed without further vio-
lence, 1t will be surprising.
Leaders Meet
Following the Macdonald invita-
ton, sixty-eight of the national
leaders of India met to discuss it
Included were sons of the most
powerful figures in the country, no.
tably Mahatma M. K. Gandhi, IA
nous passive resistance advocate;
JaWaharlal Nehru, the fiery young
Nationalist, who succeeded him as
president Of the congress; Motilal
Nehru, head of the Indian legisla-
tive council; the mayor of Calcutta
and several rajas and maharajas.
These adopted resolution accept
ing the invitation, with conditions
attached. They asked, first, that
political prisoners in India be set
free; second, that England declare
the round table conference shall be
held for the purpose of granting
dominion status to India, not mere
ly to discuss whether such status
should be granted, and. third, that
all shades of Indian political opin-
ion be invited to send representa- =
tives to the parley.
Refused to Sign
One vigorous and eloquent young
leader refused to sign the resolution.
This man, Subhas Chandra Bose, at
once issued a statement denouncing
the Macdonald invitation as vague
and uncertain and called on young
India ito prepare for whatever we
may be called upon to face" Ad-
mittedly this was a call to the
revolutionary spirit of the country
To the surprise of many, BoSe'S
challenge appears to have swept In
dia like wildfire. Practically every
one of the important provincial
committees lined up behind Bose
rather than the majority signers.
Even Jawaharlal Nehru's own
province deserted their popular
leader and went over to the even
more fiery Bose.
Bengal, said to contain ap-
proximately Is per cent of the men,
bership in the Indian national con-
gress, unanimously voted to sustain
Bose and name a delegation to up
hold the independence thesis at La
hore.
Bombay went as far as to GUST the
moderate leaders who had signed
the resolution accepting the London
invitation, and put independence
delegates in their places, while
Madras chose the strongest in
dependence advocates they could
find.

SONS DO COME IN HANDY
Chicago Justice, Aided by Boys, Gets
Alleged Drunken MotOriSt.

CHICAGO, Dec. 28.-Municipal
Judge Francis Borelli and his two
football-playing sons captured an
alleged drunken motoriSt after a
hand-to-hand struggle in the street,
and took him and companion to
jail. where they awaited trial today.
The motorist drove his car against
that in which the judge and his sons
were riding. After a chase, Judge
Borelli forced the other car to the
curb and leaped out to collar the
other driver. He was kicked in the
abdomen by Sennert, who was armed
with a tire tool, and was losing the
battle when his college student sons
joined him and tossed Edward Sen
merit, 20, into their car. His conf
panion came peaceably.

Editor of The Congregationalist
TINE general title for this lesson
L is in the simpler form Fellow
ship Through Worship" Both in
the topics as given for young people
and adults and in this simpler form
it emphasizes the fact that there
can be no real worship that is not
associated with some form of fell
Iowship or communal life.
Even the private prayer that
Jesus enjoined upon his disciples,
the prayer in which the individual
unseen by his fellow men pours
out his soul in sincere expression
to God, can not be in any real sense
merely personal or individualistic
if it touches the real life of the one
who prayS; for real life is lived in
a community.
No man liveth or dieth to him
self. The community in which we
live may be small, and we may
make it much smaller by our own
narrowness Of outlook or by our
prejudices, but, small or large, if
we are to live at all we must live
in relationships with other people.
Linking Men Together
On its Godward side, also, wor-
ship is a matter of fellowship, for
unless God be mere image of our
own thoughts, and not that great
spirit of creative power and good
ness whose life is in the whole
universe and in whom we live and
move and have our being, in calling
upon God, or in bringing our adora-
ton to him, we inevitably link our
selves through him with our fellow
men.
These thoughts were always
dominant in the teaching and prac-
tice of the Old Testament Seers and
prophets. The. social note is al
ways found in their reference to
religion. With their worship of
God is associated Zion, or Jerusa-
lem, but in whatever form the ex-
preston, or concept. there is al
ways reference to some communal
life. It was the very character of
the prophet to feel his oneness with
the people.
So also, it is, that the writer of
the Epistle to the Hebrews as he
looks back into the heart of the re-
ligion of Israel, lays profound stress
upon this communal element in
worship. True worship is asso-
ciated with the assembling of peo-
pie together that they may express
their common faith, hopes, and as
pirations and encourage one an
other to good works by love and
devotion.
AS fellowship and worship are
closely related, so they react upon
each other A large conception of
fellowship brings a correspondingly
large thought of God, and a deep
and magnanimous spirit in worship.
On the other hand, likewise, a large
thought of God, conception Of
him as the God of all peoples, the
Lord of the whole earth and not a
mere tribal deity, lifts worship to
the plane of universally.
Worship is the one thing that
ought to enlarge, our horizons and
make our hearts and minds both
broad and deep. To know God is
to partake of Gods knowledge, to
adore his love in sincerity and in
truth is to seek to manifest that
love; and to believe that God is
lover OF all men is to assume to-
ward men without distinction of
rank, nationality, race, or color the
attitude of love that God himself
assumes.
The Joy of Worship

reality in worship we should per-
