 The Bluecher Palace is unusually favorably located It is next to the Brandenburg Gate, opposite the French embassy, adjacent 10 tha academy of fine arts and the Adlor Hotel, within a stones throw Of the RciChstag. around the corner from the Wilhelmstrassc, where is located the presidents palace. and the for eign office, the Prussian ministry of state, and many federal ministries.

 The Pariser Pla'z is one Of the finest squares in Berlin. It marks the beginning Of the Untcr Den Linden avenue which connects the Brandenburg Gate with the former imperial palace. There probably is no more suita ble place in Berlin for housing the American mission.

 While Bishop Manning was deliv- ering the ascription yesterday al the close Of sermon in which he de- nounced LIndsey's stand on com panionatc marriage Lindsey hoped onto the reporters table in front Of the pulpit and demanded a chance 10 be heard,
 Bishop Manning" he cried, you have falsely represented me. If this IS not a house of justice 1t is not a house of God, and in justice l ask for five minutes 10 answer your unfair attack"
 Congregation In Turmoil
 The congregation was thrown into turmoil. Two ushers pulled Lindsey from the table. Scores Of parish
 
 aisles. The former judge was punch d and kicked. Several detectives broke into the struggling mass and propelled the disturber toward q side door The bishop continued his prayer with hi. back to the scene.
 Says Manning Lied"
 He lied about me-" shouted Lindsey as he was forced along. He had no right 10 lie about me. This IS neither house of justice nor s house Of God
 Then the church rang with ex- clamatlons.
 "I.ynch him. screamed a woman.
 Throw him out" cried a man.
 Punch him" said another man. and some one did,
 One woman exclaimed, God bless you, Bishop Manning"
 Judge Threatened
 While the police were putting Lindsey in tsxiCap score or more O. the congregation surged around them, denouncing Lindsey and threatening him.
 Tn his sermon the bishop termed Lindsey's latest hook the most flthy, insidious and cleverly written pieces Of propaganda ever pub lisned in behalf Of lewdness, prom iscuity, adultery and unrestrained sexual gratifcation" The bishop said Lindsey's teachings were con- trary 10 the plain principles of Christian morality; 1t vas the duty Of the clergy to brand it as the foul and wicked thing that it is; Lindsey stands openly and publicly for legalized free love under cover Of the term 'companonate mar rage"
 Lindsey sat quietly through the sermon, taking Copicus notes. He had entered the edfice unnotiCcd and taken a seat mp front with his lecture manager.
 Charge Entered
 The bishop refused to make 8 complaint after Lindsey reached the station house, but a policeman d: ] so and the prisoner was released on his own recognizance. Arthur Gar field Hays appeared as his attorney. The formal charge was dlsorderly conduct
 The origin Of the trouble was Bishop Manning's opposition to Lindsey's address before the New York Churchmen' league last week. The bishop asked that the appear ance be cancelled and one faction objected The question was put to q vote and Bishop Manning was overruIed. Lindsey speaking after a lengthy debate of the members.

BOY, I, ATTACKED
BY GANG OF FOUR
Older Youths Slash ChiId's
Leg After Throwing Him
in Eastern Branch.

Police today were searching for four
colored youths who attacked 7-year-old
Kenneth Curles, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Nolan S. Curles of 1704 Massachusetts,
avenue southeast. while the child was
picking blackberries yesterday morning
with some playmates near Nineteenth
and A streets southeast The boys as
sailants slaShed his left leg with a
knife, making a wound which required
four stitches To close.
The father told police that Kenneth
was with several white boys of his
age when the colored youths, about Is
or Is years old, suddenly appeared and
chased the youngsters, all of whom
ran.
The others were able to elude their
purSuers, but Kenneth fell behind and
was caught. The colored boys were
said to have beaten their captive and
then thrown him into the Eastern
Branch. The child swan ashore, he
told his father. and was again cap
tured, beaten and slaShed across the
leg.
Kenneth's screams are believed to
have frightened off his assailants. When
he made his way home his father took
him to Casualty Hospital, where he
vas treated and discharged.
The playmates gave police of No. 5
precinct a good description of the col
ored youths and a search was begun
for them.
Beyond the wound in his leg, which
was healing today Kenneth suffered
no further injury He was able to
rejoin his playmates this morning, but
none of them showed disposition to
venture far from home.

KEPT BUSY
BY POOL WADERS
Boys Insist on Going in Water
at Lincoln Memorial,
Despite Ban.

It's on days like this that the park
policeman's life isn't worth living be-
cause it Is on days like this that folks
make such desperate use of the facili-
ties that those police guard.
Take the Lincoln Memorial rejecting
pool for an example In the first place
they built that pool too big; that is
they gave it too much area. It's not
deep, of course, and right there lies its
chief invitation A fellow just can't
be drowned in it.
And that's the view that scores of
boys are taking of it. It's hot and
there's all that shallow water to wal
low around in and cool off. But Capt.
Ray C. Montgomery, u. S. A, super
intendent of the park police, has ruled
that the rejecting pool is no place to
wallow because, since there's no DRAIN
age, the water is subject to pollution.
Hence his policemen were instructed to
keep EN- out"
Yeah! Keep 'em out-out of a pond
that's three blocks long and nearly a
half block wide. That's why the park
life isn't worth living, what
with no shade at all and approximately
seven blocks of pool edge to patrol, the
mercury under a mans collar Gf he
had mercury under his collar would
Just about blow his hat off. The
policemen have been chasing EN- out
of the Seventeenth street end of the
pool; stop to wipe their brows. and
then beat 1T up to the memorial end
of the pond to repeat the operation.
And 50 it has gone throughout this
hot spell.
Now Capt. Montgomery is not bad
scout at all. He hasn't ruled out the
rejecting pool wading just to persecute
the boys but rather to protect them.
He explains that he has had tests made
of the water just to see if he couldn't let
the youngsters use it, but every test
shows some pollution and, the captain
explains, if large number of boys were
allowed to play in the water, the poll
luton would reach serious stage IN
quick order.
So, until this heat wave passes over, 1t
looks like park policeman'S life isn't
worth the living

CLERK WHO FOUND
CHECKS GETS $50
Consolidated Press Asserts Gift Is
Token of Appreciation for
Prompt Kindness.

The Consolidated Press Association
expressed its appreciation today to
James A. Heaney, Post Office Depart
ment clerk, for Ibis kindness and
promptness" in causing the return of
$751; 900 in non-negotiable checks to the
association after they had been lost in
a Pennsylvania avenue restaurant by
presenting him with a check for $50
and by writing letter of commenda-
ton of IIeariey to Postmaster General
Brown
In sending the $50 to MFR. Heaney the
Consolidated Press Association made it
plain that the check was token of
appreciation" and in no sense a re
ward" 1t was pointed out that by
turning in the wallet to the Post Office
Department after he had picked it up
too late to call at the Consolidated Of
fees himself Mr.. Heaney had saved the
newspaper organization a great deal of
time and effort The checks themselves
were non-negotiable and even their
complete loss would have cost the Con-
slidated no money.
The letter of commentator was ad-
dressed to the Postmaster General by
Horace EppS, vice president of the Con-
solidated Press Association. The checks,
scheduled for deposit, we're lost by girl
clerk of the organization, who stopped
at the lunch room for lunch on her
way to the bank.
