Z MORMON MEN
IN MD. ROW

HAGERSToWN, Nd, May L.
Mormon and anti-Mormon sentiment
clashed here when two Mormon
missionaries, Elders Ralph Clarke
and e. Elroy Coles, of Utah, were
ordered from the pavement in front
of the door of Emmanuel United
Brethren Church in Howard Street
during an alteration between Clarke
and Mrs. Lulu Loveland Shepard,
of Utah.
Mrs. Shepard has just finished de-
lvering an anti-mormon lecture in
the church. The Mormon mission
aries attended the lecture and are
said to have been distributing pam
phlets intended TO refute statements
made by Mrs. Shepard concerning
the Mormon religion when they
were ordered by Mrs. Shepard to
leave.
Clarke. 1t is said, resented the
order and disputed her authority.
Mrs Shepard called Mormonism
"the greatest menace to the Ameri-
can home" and charged that the
Mormon Church Is in league with
the liquor traffic.
She declared polygamy is prac-
ticed by Mormons as an important
part Of their belief and read from
alleged Mormon publications to
verify her assertions.

S250,000 BRICK
PLANT PLANNED
FOR ". VA.

MARTINsBURG, w. Va. May l..
A new industry for this city, giving
employment to over so men and
costing over a quarter million dol
lars to erect, has been practically
assured by T. E. Lewis, veteran
clay products man here.
The new industry is a brick and
tile plant, using the principal in
gredient for those products-clay
from Berkeley county soil. The
completed plant calls for IL kilns,
capable Of producing $4,000 bricks
or 10000 tile daily.
The plant Is to be erected at
FTaggs Crossing, a short distance
from this city, where an excellent
grade of clays for brick and fire
proof building tile Is plentiful.
The project is being capitalized
by Philadelphia men, and Mr.. Lewis
IL to be superintendent and general
manager of the new plant. He has
acted in the same capacity for the
two Berkeley county plants OF the
Continental Clay Products Company
for the past IL years, but resigned
to take over the new project.
Under the present plans the plant
is to be complete and in partial
operation by July. and its IL klins
will be capable of producing 1,4OO,-
600 bricks per month. One of the
features of the new plant will be
the fact that the kilns will be con-
vertible, on a ahalf-hour's notice,
for the making Of brick to the max
ing Of building tile.

ABSENCE OF COP
FREES HER

Because the policeman who ar
rested her did not appear when
her case was called in Traffic
Court yesterday, Judge John p.
Mcmahon dismissed charge Of
driving without emergency control
against Miss Jeanne Ferguson, an
employe of the Federal Radio Com
mission.
Miss Ferguson, according to po-
lice, was driving a car with three
young men on the same seat with
her, when she was arrested in
Northeast. Policemen c. d. Gun
ningh9m and Thomas F. Heide
made the arrest.
The girl also was charged with
driving without permit and de-
manded jury trial on that count.
She was said to have c-me to
Washington from Tennessee, and
had driven a car in that State,
where drivers permits are not re-
quired.
An official of the Radio Commits
sion appeared in court yesterday
to intercede in Miss Ferguson 3
behalf. She is executive secretary
of the organization. he said. and is
an indispensable aid to smooth
ness and dispatch in transacting
the commissions business.
The official said he had heard
Washington court procedure was
slow and hoped it would not take
too much of Miss Fergusons time.

Holds
SECRETS Of
STATURE

NEW YORK, May 1 Q.N.s).-Dr.
Oscar Riddle, of the Carnegie In
stitute station for experimental
evolution, was on record today as
declaring the increasing Of the
stature Of human beings through
scientific control of feeding may
be a possible development in the
near future.
DR.. Riddle pointed to the fact
that Salamanders and rats have
been made to grow to double their
natural size through feeding with
the anterior pituitary gland Of other
animals.
"This same result" DIR. Riddle
said, "has not been accomplished
or attempted on human beings, and
probably will not be attempted until
the pure hormone of this gland
has been found and prepared in a
condition suitable for such use."
DIR. Riddle said there are good
reasons for expecting this pure
hormone to be obtained within the
next few years.
when it is obtained, it will be
possible to treat human beings,
during the period of normal growth
at least, and thus increase their
stature" the scientist concluded.

When his accuser refused to press
larceny charges against him In Gen.
tral police court, Baltimore, yester-
day, the Rev. Harold f. Pellegrin,
retired Presbyterian minister and
a former. district director of the Near
East relief, was exonerated.
"Mr. Pellegrin is a good and hon
est man." said George Hagopian, of
Baltimore. who swore to the warrant
on which the clergyman was ar
rested here last week. He would
not steal, and my money must have
been turned into the relief society
by mistake"
Hagopian, former collector for
the Near East relief, alleged in the
larceny warrant that he had given
Pellegrin $7T4.50 to be used in locat-
ing his brother and sister held cap
tive in Turkey and bringing them
to this country.
When arrested at his home in the
5000 block Forty.fourth st. n. W.,
by headquarters detectives last Fri
day the Rev. Pellegrin declared
Hasopian's relatives had died nine
years ago and the money had been
used in the routine business of the
relief society. He declared the
money had been collected by Hago-
plan for the society.
Hagopian attempted to have the
warrant withdrawn a short time
after the Rev. Pellegrin was taken
into custody, but authorities in
sisted the case go before a magis'
trate.
