lar with the student body, and has
been active in many of the affairs
of the college during his three
wears at Delaware.

"SIanguage," New Game
for Partisan Society

Paris.-Ever anxious to find new
means of amusing themselves when
there is nothing better to do,
French society folk have taken TO
a new game which might be termed
"Slanguage" in English.
The idea of the game is based on
the increasing number of English
words which are currently used by
French people, thanks largely TO
the influence of American films as
well as radio. This influence of the
English language on the French
has resulted in a jargOn and the
young society set keeps entertained
for hours talking the new language,
while old-fashioned elders sit by IN
bewilderment.
Here is an example Of this new
conversation
lie leading star chant tres bien;
aussi ellie est very beautiful"
"Oui mais Je Maine pas her
gags. Ills me donnent pain IN
the neck" which might be trans
lated as: "The leading star sings
very nicely and is very beautiful" "
to which the other replies: Yes,
but | don't like her gags; they give
me a pain in the neck"
Stupid though the game seems.
it is becoming a really serious
pastime. The player who finally
lacks an answer, that is to say,
who cannot reply with phrase in
which there are two or more Eng
lish words understandable to the
company present, is tined-usually
the price of round of cocktails.

The present age sis witnessing the
greatest Transformation of the world re-

A. Eustace Hayden, professor of COM
parative religion at the University Of
Chicago, told the World Congress on
Mental Hygiene today.
Declaring that modern science has
undermined all the ancient theologies
and religious PHILOSOPHERS" DR.. Hayden
warned against "the danger of using the
traditional guarantees and compensa-
tons Of the old theology in dealing
with young people in this age of
science"
"In the Orient where religion has
always been way of life in this world
even though it was also a technique of
escape from it, the transition to our
modern age Is easier. In the Western
world, where Christianity as a religion
of other worldly salvation has been
separated from the secular activities Of
politics and business as well as from
education, science and philosophy, there
is great bewilderment.

PREACHER ATTACKS
METHODIST BISHOP
Four Are Accused of Political
Activities During
1923 Campaign.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the associated PreSS.
WASHINGTON, Ga. May 10.-Rev.
Rembert G. Smith, Southern Methodist
preacher here, today disclosed charges
he had made against four bishops of
the church because of "unwarranted''
political activities in 1928. He charged
Bishop James Cannon, jr.; Edwin D.
Mouzon and John M. Moore. with viola
ton Of a church rule laid down in
Baltimore in 1874 providing equal polit-
ical rights for Roman Catholic citizens
in line with the Constitution of the
United States. He added Bishop H. M.
Dubose to the list in making charges
of political activity In their capacity
as bishops, but outside the scope of their
rights and duties as such. He charged
that Bishop Cannon during the 1928
presidential campaign worked on an
expense account paid by Northern Pc
publicanS."
His statement follows in part:
'In 1928 Bishops Cannon, Mouzon,
Moore and Dubose went into aggressive
political activity in the interest of Mr.,
Hoover and the Republican party, al
leging that this was required in order
to defend prohibition.
IF the general conference passes the
official character of these four bishops
with no comment or action as to Their
political campaign in 1928 in the in
terest of the Republican party this will
be an Endorsement by that body of the
Republican party and particularly its
record since 1928 as to enforcement OF
the eighteenth amendment. In this
event, the general conference will also
approve the Republican party as to all
Of its policies.
I'm the campaign Of 1928 Bishops
Cannon, Mouzon and Moore attacked
Gov. Smith, the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party, not only because he favored
modification of the dry laws, but also
because he was a member of the Roman
Catholic Church. This was an incen-
diary innovation and notification OF
the constitution of American Methodism
Smith cited news reports and claimed
to have had personal observation OF
Bishop Cannon's actions at at least one
meeting which he said refuted the
bishops claim in Dallas that his actions
in 1928 were those of private citizen
and not as a bishop.
He cited an article in the Christian
Index in the Summer of 1929 in which
he said Bishop Cannon told Of bor-
rowing funds of the board for part Of
the expense Of calling the Macon
meeting.

Desks and Cabinets Opened
and Personal Letters Taken
From Files.
MARKS INDICATE NIGHT
VISITOR WORE GLOVES
Case Is Fifth to Be Reported by
Members of Senate Within
Recent Months.

The Office of Hiram johnson, Re-
publican of California, in the Capitol
was ransacked last night. The bur-
glary is being investigated today by
Capitol and local police.
The finding of papers and records in
disorder comes on the heels of a de-
bate in the Senate few days ago III
which four other Senators told of their
Offices having been disturbed in recent
months. All of the other cases referred
to in the Senate occurred in the Senate
Office Building.
When Miss Mary Common and Mrs.
Eleanor West, employees in the Office Of
Senator Johnson, arrived for work to-
day they found desks opened, file cab
inets disturbed and papers disarranged.
Every desk, cabinet and letter file In
the Office was broken into.
Aroused, Senator johnson said:
1.-THE evidence is conclusive that my
private and personal correspondence was
sought and read"
Letters Taken From Files.
So far as Senator johnson could
learn at first, nothing was taken from
his Office.
The Senator observed today as he
picked up personal letters which had
been extracted from the files and left
lying outside that somebody's ears are
tingling If these were read"
Detective Sergt. Fred Sandburg, fin
gerprint expert of the local Police De-
partment, was called in to aid Capitol
police in the investigation by looking
for any fingerprints that may have been
left on papers or file jackets. Several
marks were found which indicated the
intruder wore gloves.
The Office of Senator Johnson is on
one of the lower floors of the old CEN
ter portion of the Capitol Building un-
der the dome.
The discussion, which took place in
the Senate earlier in the week, started
when Senator Mcclellan, Democrat. OF
Tennessee, told the Senate that his Of
fee was ransacked and left in disorder
sometime last Saturday night.
He expressed the belief at that time
that some one probably was looking fol
something of benefit to them and to his
detriment, and he invited the INTRUDER
to come to his Office in the day time a1c
look at his files with his permission. :
On that occasion Senators Smoot, Re.
publican of Utah, and Brock, Democrat
of Tennessee, added that they had hao
similar experiences except that they had
found nothing disturbed except pens on
desks.
Following the speech Of Senator Nc
Kellar, officials in charge of the Senate
Office Building announced that plans
were under way to install new locks on
the doors of the building.
Marauders Pick Lock.
After examination, Capitol officials
reported that the cleaner of the rooms
was in Senator Johnson's office at 1880
am, today and that everything was in
order then.
The Californian said he had nc
! suspicious. He remarked that it might
be some one seeking to play joke.
Locks on the cabinets and desks were
picked by the marauders. There was
no evidence indicating how the visitor
gained admission to the rooms The
doors were locked when members of
the Senator's Office force arrived early
today.

NEW RIOTS FEARED
AT BAKR|D FEAST
IN INDIA TODAY
Protective Measures Taken
to Prevent MoSIem and
Hindu Disorders.
ASSEMBLY OF CROWDS
IN SHOLAPUR FORBIDDEN
Gandhi's Successor Schedules Raid
on Governments Salt Depots
Next Thursday.

BOMBAY, India, May 10.-Unusual
protective measures were put in force
throughout India today to prevent COM
munal rioting between Hindus and Mos
lens on the occasion of the Mohamme-
dan feast of Bakrid, in commemoration
of Abraham's sacrifice of the lamb.
Bakrid is an event which even under
normal circumstances carries with it
the danger of disturbances. To-day
the anniversary of the great Sepoy
mutiny of 1887, and with Hindu Moslem
antipathies greatly accumulated by rea-
son of Moslem abstinence from the civil
disobedience campaign-there was par
ticular apprehension. Moslem sacrifice
of cows, sacred to the Hindus, consti-
tuted another danger element.
ShoIapur Assemblies Banned.
In Sholapur, scene of sanguinary riot
ing Wednesday and Thursday, in which
unofficial estimates of SO dead and 400
wounded are made, an order was issued
forbidding assembly of more than five
persons. This applied only to Hindus
and not to Moslems celebrating Bakrid.
Everything was quiet here as the day
began, mills were closed in continuation
of the hartal, declared when Mahatma
Gandhi, leader of the civil disobedience
campaign, was arrested under 103-
year-old law and "interned" at Yeroda
prison, Poona.
There were reports here that the five
police missing at Schlapur had their
eyes gouged out by the rioters and then
were thrown In well to die. Three
others were segregated from their COM
patriots, tied together, their uniforms
soaked with gasoline and burned alive.
Salt Depot Raid Planned.
Abbas Tyabji, retired high court JUS
tice of the native State of Baroda, who
has taken Gandhi's place at the head
of the civil disobedience campaign, an
nounced that he will march Monday
from Karadi Matvad to Dharsaana,
where on Thursday he will raid the
government operated salt depots.
He expects to arrive with National
list volunteers at Dharsaana Wednesday
evening attacking the depots the next
day. The act will mark an important
extension of the civil disobedience cam
paign and one which the government
has warned obviously probably will In
volye violence. Hitherto the National

to making the salt themselves.

the raid symbolic for all India, COM

TOO TROOPERS FAIL

Woods Near Arlington Radio
Station Combed in Baker

Fort Myer troops took a hand in the
search for the slayer of Mary Baker
this morning, combing thoroughly the
woods near the radio towers of the
Arlington radio station, at the request
of Arlington County Commemorative
Attorney william G. Cloth. They failed
to find any suspicious characters in the

Cloth, pursuing the practice he has

murder of following down every bunch,
yesterday morning appeared at Fort

Samuel v. Constant, adjutant, to have
the regular morning drill OF the post
through the woods, q large part of
which are Cloths property.
He told Mai. Constant that informa-
ton had come to him that person or
persons who might be able to throw
some light on the identity of the muir
derer, or the murderer himself, might
be hiding in the woods.

About 100 soldiers from Fort Myer

seen no suspicious characters.
Maj. Constant this afternoon was at

even If the murderer of Mary Baker
had been found in the woods, the
troops, though fully armed for drill,
could have done nothing about it.
