32 BUSINESS MEN
 IN DE7ENTI0NPE PEN
New A. (. Members Mistaken for
 Struggled Aliens

New York, July 2 P>-Thirty-two men who said they were all respect ed Newark, N. J., business men and many of them members of the New ark Athletic club were released from the detention pen at Ellis Island to- day after proving their American citizenship, They were picked up last night on small cargo launch 6ff Rockaway by the coast guard.
 The Newark men were taken into custody on suspicion of being aliens having themselves smuggled into the country under cover of darkness. They loudly protested on being re- leased today that they could easily have proven their citizenship at once if given an opportunity.
 The launch, the "Anona," a ST. footer owned by Joseph Kelsey of (31 Carpenter stree) Providence, R. L, was first sighted by Boatswain Ilmar Lytinen of the coast guard patrol boat 16S about 6;15 o'clock last night. At that time it had only two men aboard, Peter Hver of LNN " al N, NIlO W do III Nl4dl SS, oilO William McGouler of East Newark.
 Boat Stopped Twice
 Lytinen said the launch looked suspicious to him then and that he sent a man aboard to investigate, but that when no liquor or other cGntraband was found the Anona was allowed to proceed. Three hours he sighted the launch again, this time loaded with passengers. For second time Lytinen sent a man aboard and when he said Hyer was unable to account satisfactorily for his sudden acquisition of passengers he became convinced that the boat was running in aliens.
 Taking all the launch's passengers and crew into custody he stopped at the coast guard base at Staten Island to report his capture and then pro- Ceeded to Ellis Island where he asked that the men be locked up as aliens. The men were questioned for more than an hour this morning by immigration officials and Gregory O'keefe, special agent of the treas ruy department, and were released after explaining their presence on the Anona.

OLD TABO0S PASSE
 MODERATOR FINDS
Claims Removal Of Social COnSe.
 Quence Leads to Indulgence

Bournemouth, Eng. July P)- A church neglected and a religion losing its hold on the masses was the picture presented by the Rev. J. D. Jones, of Bournemouth, as moderator to the fifth international council of Congregational churches today.
 His commentary on modern inn morality was contained in the open ing address of today's session. To a large extent. he said, the very exist ence of God was being challenged and denied
 The pastor declared 1t is against the Christian conception of sexual morality that the attack of the moderns principally is directed. There Is a moral revolt about which there Is nothing shy or timid"
 This moral revolt. Dr. Jones as serted, is bold, brazen and una shamed. It scotfs at old reticences and decencies. It repudiates all old conventions and taboos and allows itself freedom in speech and con- duct that shocks all who have teen brought up in the old traditions" tions.'
 pr. Jones said many young people refused to consider themselves bound by the old law. He asserted that 1t freed from certain social conse- quences had led to an alarming in crease of secret immortality. This would be q vile and beastly world if it ceased to believe in God" he said.

 Lieut.. Barker stood firing until his ammunition was exhausted. He leaped back into the machine just as the other automobile pulled away.
 The police car was only a few feet behind the other machine at State and Madison street. It was there that smoke bomb was dropped by the machine in front, sending up a screen of smoke behind which .hc sunmen hoped to hide the progress of the car
 Lieut.. Barker however, kept the machine in sight, and had nearly overtaken it 1t Wabash avenue and Madison street when his own motor sputtered and died-its gasoline eN- hausted. The gunmen's car disap- peared in traffic, going north.
 In the meantime Zuta and lis companions had gone. The bullet marks in the police car indicated that one of them may have been struck in the leg.
 Police obtained the license nun ber of the killers car but expected the clue would be Of slight value as the plates were probably stolen.
