Pastor HastenS to Soften State-
 Inent Made in Boston

Boston, March 12.-(UP)-The civil war in support of prohibition to which a "committee of 1000' pledged itself at Park street church here Monday night will be one of ballots rather than bullets" Dr. A. z. Conrad, pastor of the church, has explained.
 Construing the "ciNil war" threat literally, vets and drys alike assail- cd the action of the committee of 1000' yesterday. but Dr. Conrad gave assurance that the expression was meant in a metaphorcal sense.
 A sub- committee of the 1000" declared that the group would fight and that to the finish, but the weapons of our warfare arc not carnal but spiritual
 The "committee of 1oo0' has se- cured the services of Evangclino Booth of the Salvation Army to speak at mass meeting for prohi- bition and against repeal of the state enforcement act at Boston Garden here in May.

The Pawnshop Theft

The whole thing was laughah.e and there is yet doubt as to whcth- CT Gunner Peters was really a thief, or cleaned out a pawnship Wlndo" as drunken lark.
 It is told as an example Of the necessity of doing some hard, clear thinking in detective WorI:, as well as in the finding and run ning down of tangible clues.
 Peters had permit to go to the city. He was stationed at smIrl fort net more than ten miles aW''y - one of the old fashioned forls which, i'll modern warfare, would be of little more use than a ;lh bungalow.
 Peters, as did others stationed at the fort, hired cheap secoAI hand car at the garage near the fort, It was handler because O! poor train service late at night.
 Probably Peters did what mary others do when off duty He must have visited a soodly number Of speakeasles. It was past midnight when he stopped at a place whore he thought he could get "ore more shot.'
 The place was locked. Peters got sore. Next door was pawn shop. There was a light in the window and the junk had not been removed.
 No doubt that, 10 Peters, tn stuff looked like treasures from a pirates chest.
 There were all sorts of watches, cameos, bracelets, cheap imitation jewelry, a couple of pearl -handlel little knives-the sort of stuff that the desperate hook when in nee1 of a little cash.
 The street was short, dark anl deserted.
 Peters was just drunk cnougi, to believe that his lifcs happinc%' depended on getting those watches and other trinkcts into his pos session.
 He used part of an old cratt Ill tue Sutlcl CD q '1'NIl Ills l'''i smashed the window and scoopel up great quantity of tho stuff in a jifty.

GANDH| PILGRIMS
 LEAVE FOR MINES
Amazing Scenes as Civil Dis.
 obedience March Is Started

Ahmedabad, India, March F (UP)-Mahatma Gandhi, India s peaceful revolutionist, set forth afoot today at the head of a small band of devoted followers, on one of the strangest but most gripping pilgrimages of Indian history.
 Emerging at dawn from his ash ram-a college neaE Ahmedbad- Gandhi and his 79 chosen adherents began their march to Jalalpur, where they will refine salt, in open de- fiance of British law.
 Amazing Scenes Enacted
 Amazing scenes were enacted as the gentle leader of India's indepen- dence movement began his cam paien Of civil disobcdience.
 Lining the way, massing in the fields, marching with the vanguard. were fully 100000 Hindus, who had fockcd to Ahmedbad during the past week to cheer him on his way.
 As Gandhi came from the Ash ram with his volunteers, a mighty shout arose from a crowd which stretched in every direction.
 Several simple ceremonies pre- ceded the pilgrimage. One of the most touching was the "blessing" of the marchcrs by enthusiasts who broke cocoanuts and gave the meat to the pilgrims, or who threw rupees to them in benediction and as sign of their hope for fruitful results. An Indian woman then presented Gandhi q horscJthc hossc that will accompany the expedition eff any man should fall sick and have 10 be carried"
 First Halt Chosen ...r- The first halt was to be at the village of Aslali not far from Ashed- abad, which Gandhi hoped to reach tonight
 It was generally believed Gandh would be arrested immediately upor reaching the kaira district, 12 miles from Ahmedabad.
 If Gandhi is taken from the move. ment, his place will be assumed bS Abbas Tayabja. noted former judge of the supreme court of Boroda. ] he, in turn, is arrested, Gandhi's pri- vate secretary, Chaman Lal Joshi will carry on the work.
 Of the 79 in Gandhi's little army T6 are Hindus, two are Moslems, ant one is a Christian.

Rump Convention to Send
Delegates Here.
Continued From Page II


It is not my desire to indulge in any
questions of factions within this
group, but I desire that your work
at this convention be for the best
interests of labor in general"
President Lewis, in his annual re-
port this afternoon, referred not
only to the Springfield convention,
but to the unrest within ranks of
the convention here where dele
gates from southern Indiana mine
unions are expected to raise ques-
tions of policy within the union
administration.
In his opening report, Lewis said
disrupted internal affairs of the
union came after attempt by inter-
national officers to restore order
in the Illinois district. Illinois
officers rebelled, he declared, and
now are attempting to set UP a new
national union.
They were willing to sacrifice the
entire structure of our organiza-
ton, invalidate all of its existing
wage contracts and destroy the in
Strumentality which it has taken
decades to build, in order to main
tain themselves in control of a cor
rupt political machine" Lewis de-
clared.
1.-THE most vivid Imagination can
not conceive Of more daStardly
or traitorous act. These same faith
less officers who sought refuge be-
hind the barricade of a court in
junction have joined with rene
gades of the trade union movement
and have issued a so-called COM
mand to a purported international
convention.
Forecasting the challenge of con-
duct Of the 1927 strike by the union
leaders, Lewis fayed owners Of BIZ
luminous coal mines.
He attributed conditions In the BIZ
luminous field to 'ruinous competi-
ton within coal fields and between
coal fields that have resulted in
many cases in hammering down Of
wages below recognized levels of
bare subsistence"
