CARDINAL DEN0UNCES|
POLITICAL CHURCHES
Blames Fanatical Denunciation Of
Human Law Violators for
Empty Edifices.

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, January 13.-William Car
dinal O'Connell severely denounced po-
litical Christianity at service in Holy
Cross Cathedral here yesterday. He
was commenting upon statements that
the churches today are empty.
Christ gave the commission to His
church to teach, to influence by word
ami example in His spirit of gentleness
and moderation" the cardinal said,
land we see those who claim to act
in His name demanding the most cruel
punishment for offenses which are not
forbidden by Gods law, but against a
doubtful human ordinance.

RAIN ADDS TO THREAT
IN MISSISSIPPI BASIN
Flood Fear Increases as Rivers in
Lower Valley Rise, Driving
Hundreds From Homes.

BY the Associated Press,
MEMPHIS, Tenn, January 13.-Con-
tinued rainfall, with the prospect of a
considerable inflow from melting snow
in the upper reaches of the Mississippi
today increased apprehension regarding
high water in the lower valley.
From the Ohio River to Vicksburg,
Miss, streams are rising. Several hun
bred families in Kentucky, Tennessee,
Arkansas and Mississippi have been
forced to leave their homes, and bust
ness was affected in at least two vii
lagos.
Forecasts of colder weather and
clearing skies, which allayed concern in
the valley several days ago, had failed
to materialize today.

yer, puClIlldH bu6Soh, Wuo a running comment on the effu- sion, which he says for a true story is the best fiction he ever read.
 In the August, 1928, number of True Story, one of the many magazines published by the Mac tadden Publications, Inc, is a etory which, it is claimed, won prize Of s1,ooo from the True Story Publishing Company in a
 contest for one of four prizes offered. The issue wherein the story appears sets forth the rules Of the contest. The very first of these is as follows:
 "All stories must be written in the first person, based on facts that happened either in the liv- es of the writers of these stories, or to people of their acquaintance, proper evidence of truth to be submitted by writers upon request. |"
 The story which won first prize under this rule, and others, as published in the August 1928, is sue of True Story as a true narra- tive is one of the best pieces of fiction I have read in some time, or heard of. Jules Verne's her oes and navigators never did any thing so utterly wonderful or mir aculous.
 The tale concerns two persons, Het and Lee. You guessed it, man and woman, living in an un- named berg on the great open spaces of the Pacific Coast, where men are men and women are, too.
 At the time this adventure be- gins they were married in a way, but man and wife in name only. Ia Southworth.
 Lee, it seems was a physician, and had permitted his pericardic system to be ensnared by half pint, sorrel-top assistant in his office, to the chagrin, not to say frrita tions, and disgust of Het. She smelled a mice some time before, and when she caught Lee with the sorrel one in his arm. giving her long lingering but not last smack, she smelled anoth- CT. Then when he lied to her about a call, and she later discovered him joyriding with the amber topped helper, she just up and stepped out of the picture,
 Right here the marvels begin. She went night out, got herself railroad train. got aboard and kept it until she had no further use for it. and let it go at Jun eau. Alaska. Het says SO her self. Now, I have seen and heard something of those god-awful train-men-brakies, hoggers, shacks wilder than drugstore cowboys who have done everything with railroads and trains in the way of ambidenterousness, except hold them in their laps. But Het sure made them all go back and re- cline.
 I can understand how she might have gotten as far on a rattler as Prince Rupert in British Col umbia, backing, filling, hauling, switching and dodging the brew, cries. But from there to Juneau 1t is over 300 nautical miles, and by land, climbing and lodging the mountains, it is worse yet. That was some trip. comparable to "a hilly-goat going by water or a blue whale by land.

INVESTMENT BOND
|. MARKET IS STEADY
Absorption of German Repa.
rationS Issue Is Notable
Event of Week.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatch 10 Tne star.
NEW YORK, June 1.-THE past
week was notable one in the invest
ment market, not from the standpoint
Of price fluctuations, because the list
closed at approximately the same level
as that of Monday, but because the
market was able to distribute the $98,-
250,000 German reparations loan at a
time when 1t was forced also to absorb
a heavy volume of forced liquidation
arising from the decline of stocks.
AS a matter of fact, the new German
loan was successful to q degree that
surprised even the bankers responsible
for its flotation. Following a heavy
oversubscription at the offering price of
90, 1t went fractionally above a 1-point
premium on the stock market. Later
heavy selling forced the premium down
to u point, and the bringing out of the
London slice on Friday narrowed this
still further, but dealers had no diff
Guilty at all in getting rid Of their allot-
ments.
The total Of new capital offerings,
about $3.50, 900 900, was naturally one of
the highest weekly budgets of the year,
but considered apart from the German
issue it was normal. With the repara-
tions issue out of the way, the road is
clear for the many offerings that had
been postponed and the market Is ex-
pected to receive a flood of these. The
market will have considerable load
to carry and so no wide advance In
bond prices can be looked for in the
immediate future.
One of the new issues put out during
the week consisted Of $4,000, 900 Cana
dian National Railways Az per cent
bonds, priced at 99la. This was the
first new financing of the year for this
Canadian road with the exception of
some small equipment issues.
Another interesting new capital is
sue was 100000 shares of Electric Power
81 Light per cent preferred. This was
priced at 1902 to yield just under
per cent. The last previous financing
by the company consisted of $4,000 900
of per cent debentures. offered at
92la. The latter are currently at point
discount.
Much talk Of the effects of the tariff
bill has served to keep unsettled and
anxious the holders of sugar company
bonds, cement company issues and
others whose products are mentioned
in the bill.
Amusement issues were quite active,
especially Pathe rs which ran up to
level over 40 points above their low of
the year. The company has had some
internal strife and 1t was during the
week that the battle was settled, with
the confirmation of the power of the
present management.

Savings Deposits
Reflect Growing
Policy of Thrift
Accounts in New York
Little Affected by Latest
Stock Decline.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June I4.-Compared
with year ago, when business was in
record volume and employment and
wages at high ratio, the figures of
savings bank deposits of New York
States banks for May, published today,
make remarkably strong showing. Al
though they declined $4,259,548. this
was In contrast with a decrease in the
of $10,590. .483 in May, 1928.
The figures indicate that, in spite of
the present conditions of unemployment
IN this State and smaller incomes to
many holders of securities, owing to
reduced dividends, the public has
adopted thrift policy and is maintain
ing large balances in the savings banks
as a reserve against future contingent
cieS.
Another factor that has entered into
the comparatively small net decrease is
the trend toward savings deposits at a
time when earnings on call money and
on short term securities are low. This
has resulted in the deposit of funds
by individuals and corporations, who
normally do not use the savings banks,
\
in some cases, as much as 4A and
per cent on funds located with the New
York State mutual savings banks.
The number of large deposits has
tended to overbalance the Withdrawals
by smaller depositors. In May there
were 736 more accounts opened than
the number of accounts closed. 1t is
suggested that while there may be fewer
individuals who have surplus funds to
start a savings bank account, those
who have such accounts are tenacious
ly holding to them.
In the stock market decline last
Autumn, savings deposits In the New
York metropolitan district experienced
a decrease of between $70,000,000 and
$75, 100000. Withdrawals were then
made on a large scale In order to pro-
tect margin accounts in stocks and also
to take advantage OF the low prices
prevailing to buy securities outright.
In the next three months deposits in
creased and the savings institutions
were placed in funds, permitting them
to 20 back into the bond market and
buy bonds on a large scale. The sub
seouent declines in securities in May
and again this month had their effect
on deposits, but in only limited way,
compared with last october and No
vember.

YOST STARTS HIS 26th YEAR
AS SAVINGS BANK PRESIDENT
Head of East Washington
Institution Is Native of
Capital City.
Started as Contractor, but
Retired to Center Activity
in Financial Field.

John c. Yost, who has just been re-
elected president of the East Wash
ington Savings Bank, has filled the
same position most acceptably for the
past rs years, or ever since the institu-
ton was founded.
Mr. Yost was born and educated
in Washington. AS a young man he
entered the contracting business and
for many years carried on this work,
in addition to his duties at the saw
ings bank.
Some years ago he retired from the
contracting field in order to devote all
his time to the bank. He Is also one
of the directors in the National Capt.
tai Bank which is located very near
the savings bank on Pennsylvania
avenue southeast.
When the trustees reelected Mr..
YoSt to the presidency, they also named
these officers to serve the bank another

RETAIL TRADE FAIR
IN MIDWEST AREA
Wheat Cutting Has Begun in Some
Sections Much Earlier
Than Usual.
Special Dispatch to Tn. star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 14-Wtth
Summer getting under way, retail trade
is maintaining a fair average without
any particular stimulus from the pro-
ducer's income. This Of course. is not
the period when much grain goes to
market.
The psychological effect Of what
foodstuffs are sold has much to do with
the tendency of the agricultural States
purchasing disposition. Probably, too,
the minor products market Is fully as
influential on this as major outputs in
the normal community. One factor that
affects local business is the farmstead S
small goods disposal.
For instance, major products like
corn and wheat at this period are sold
moderately. Primary market prices
for these cereals vary little from last
June. Wheat at So cents against 3 cents
higher than a year ago; corn at 70
cents bushel is cents a bushel less
not a material difference.
Wheat cutting commenced in locali-
ties this week, 10 days earlier than
usual. How early any benefit will be
received by trade will depend on the
selling policy Of the producer. If in
debt, he is unable to hold his grain and
regardless Of price will sell, and his net
income is absorbed in meeting obliga-
tions. The disposition of the tndepen-
dent grower is yet to be seen.
