PULL OF ADVERTISING
SAID TO BE GAINING
Use of More Space Advised as
Commodity Prices Reach
New Low Levels.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, December l8.-Walter
A. Strong, chairman of the Beard of the
Advertising Federation Of America and
publisher Of the Chicago Daily News,
gave a large gathering of business men
yesterday brighter outlook for adj
vertising.
Owing to a general reduction of
commodity prices during the last year"
he said, advertising is yielding greater
returns to advertisers"
Mr.. Strong was guest at a luncheon
given by Gilbert L. Hodges, president
Of the Advertising Federation and a
member of the executive board of the
Sun.
Up until the stock market break Of a
year ago, Mr.. Srtong said, it was more
difficult for advertising or selling To do
as efficient work, owing to increased
commodity prices, and therefore greater
sales resistance from the consumer.
With the commodity prices gradually
falling since the break, a great increase
in the effectiveness Of advertising has
been noted, he added, and the volume
should now be increased for more con-
Germs, instead Of reduced.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 18.-Charges
against former Judge Ben B. LINDSEY
of Denver growing out OF his demand
for a hearing during services in the
Cathedral of St John the Divine two
Sundays ago faded among the shadows
Of legal tachnicalities yesterday.
Magistrate August Dreyer, UNFOLDING
a demurrer Of Arthur Garfield Hays
that the original disorderly conduct
complaint against his client was de-
fective. ordered a new complaint drawn.
He called several times for somebody
to step forward and sign 1t.
Nobody did.
Then, after rebuking Lindsey, he
slapped his hand on the bench and an
nounced: This case is closed"
Rebuke Comes From Rench.
The mag strate, who SAID later his
rebuke was directed more at the general
public than at Lindsey, told the former
judge:

are a lawyer You we're a judge. You
we're not like an ignorant man who

complaint Mr.. futile said he would not.
Lindsey Is Silent.
Detective William F. May, signer of
the original complaint and one Of the
four officers who rescued Lindsey when
he was being struck and thrown from
the cathedral by angry parishioners,
made no sign that he would sponsor a
new charge.
Lindsey uttered no word in the court
room.
ST Just wish I'd, had chance to
question the bishop" Lindsey
said IT had some matters to ask him
about I DO think, though, that the
magistrate this afternoon had no right
to make the comments on the case that
he did"
Court Is Crowded.
"The affair."" began several weeks ago
when the Speakers Committee of the
New York Churchman'S Association in
vited Lindsey to address it. Bishop
Manning objected, but his objection
was ignored and the association voted
overwhelmingly to hear the former
Children's Court justice.
The bishop then announced he would
deliver a message to the diocese at the
Cathedral of st. John the Divine. Lind
Sey wrote that he would be present and
would demand a hearing If the bishop
attacked his character.
The bishop Gid attack his character
and at the end Of the sermon Lindsey
leaped upon press table and asked
for five minutes to answer the attack.
He was pulled down by ushers and
showed violently from the church with
parishioners striking and hurting
epithets at him.
Magistrate Dreyer's court room was
crowded for yesterdays hearing with
overflow spectators in the Railways.
