CHURCHMERGER.
IS ADVOCATED

Protestant church in the South
west section of this country, DR..
G. o. Mcmillan, of Tehuacana,
Tex, in an address before con-
vention of the denomination in
Continental Memorial Hall, advo-
Gated union of the church with
some other denomination in that
district.
The church leaders Of the
Southwest, DR.. Mcmillan asserted,
are in favor of such a church
union and recommend that the
executive board "thoughtfully and
prayerfully" give attention to this
suggestion.
While the church gives vast at
tention to the development of
missionary work in India, China,
Japan and the mountain sections
of Kentucky here, it is letting slip
by an opportunity to "save the
people of its own country" DR..
Mcmillan declared.

TWO SHADOWED
AS MURDERERS
Of SLOANE

Concerned in Rubbing Out
of BOY Prodigy Criminal

NEW YORK, May 13 GN.S0
At least six men-perhaps seven
had a part in the ruthless, pre-
meditated Staying of Roy Herbert
Sloane, the one-time "boy prodigy"
and university-educated criminal,
the police declared today as they
concentrated their efforts to run
down the murderers.
Two Are Spotted
There was a persistent report
today that the slayers of Sloane
are known to the police and that
plans were being laid to round
them up. ...,,.
Detectives had two of them
spotted in an uptown apartment,
according to this information.
The police we're marking time
for the present, it was explained,
to permit the others to get in
touch with their Shadowed aC-
completes and then the roundup
will be staged.
SIOane's bizarre career came to
an abrupt end early yesterday
morning when he was put on
the spot" in the vicinity of the
Mad Dot Boat Club, an alleged
Speakeasy.
Thieving Syndicate
The whole thing was arranged
in advance, in the opinion of the
authorities, but the motive was
obscure.
The police thought there is a
possibility that Sloane, once con-
victed of automobile thievery,
had become connected with a
car-stealing syndicate.
Sloane was an ingratiating,
smOOth-tOngued individual and his
new-fOund pals of the under
world may have figured he was
intending to give them the
''dOubIe-crOsS," according to the
police theory.
Since Sloane's arrest February
10, in Fifth Avenue gem rob-
berry, detectives say he was des-
perate to raise money for his de-
fenSe.
Was Selling Automobiles
His heart-broken mother, Mrs.
Anna Bogenholm Sloane, founder
of the Arts and Crafts Institute
and an author of several books,
one of them being on the proper
upbringing of children, insisted,
however, that her son since his
release from Sing Sing Prison
had no gang connections.
She understood her son was
selling automobiles.
She was convinced her son had
been framed" on the original
car theft charges.

BLACKMER ASKS
FINE STAY

Counsel for Harry M. B1ackmer,
missing oil witness in the famous
conspiracy trials who fled to
France at the outbreak of the
Teapot Dome Investigations, to-
day asked the District Court of
Appeals to stay its mandate af-
firming penalties of 100000 i'm
posed against him for contempt
of court, until the United States
Supreme Court can review the
case.
Blackmer refused to appear as
a Government witness in two
trials of Harry F. Sinclair, and
was cited by the District Supreme
Court.
When the contempt rules were
issued, United States Marshal E.
C. Snyder seized 100000 in Lib
erty Bonds, the only property be-
longing to Blackmer in the Dis
trict.
The finest of $4,000 in each
Of two cases will be levied against

LORTON PIGEON
ASKS SMOKES

Fluttering down out Of rain
slashed clouds yesterday a be-
draggled pigeon sought shelter at
the home of Mrs. France Peters,
at Haymarket, Va.
Tenderly Mrs. Peters lifted the
bird and noticed a message pin
ned to a leg. The message read:
"5-11-31 5-P p. M, D. C. Re-
fOrmatOry, LOrtOn, Va. Leo
Burke, prisoner No. 3O7. Kindly
send cigarettes. Will be appre-
ciated."
Officials Just Laugh
Today officials at Lorton
laughed when told that carrier
pigeon released at Lorton had
been found at Haymarket.
Capt. M. M. Barnard, super
intendent of District Penal 1nsti-
tutions, said:
''WelI, it hardly was a carrier
pigeon. Many common pigeons
fly around here every day, and
if Burke sent a message out by
a pigeon, it was one Of those"
On TwO-Year Stretch
Burke is doing a two-year
stretch on a charge Of house
breaking and larceny. He was
sent up in 1919, and will be lib
Grated next october. The length
of time between when the man
entered the prison, and will leave
is explained by the fact that he
escaped shortly after he was ad-
mitted, and was only recaptured
last September.
Prison officials said they had
heard of many schemes worked
out by prisoners in efforts to OBJ
tain cigarettes and other luXuries'
but expressed the belief that
Burke is the first who displayed
the ingenuity to use a pigeon as
his messenger.

APPOINTMENT
OPPOSED
Chief of Staff Was in Favor of
Giving Surgeon Generals
Post to Col. Reynolds, Claim

The choice of Col. Robert U.
Patterson, as chief of the Army
Medical Corps, was made by
President Hoover yesterday, on
the recommendation of Secretary
of War Hurley, in defiance Of the
wishes of Maj. Gen. Douglas Mac
Arthur, chief of staff, it became
known today.
Indications are that the con-
firmatiOn Of the appointment Of
Colonel Patterson, despite his
high personal popularity and
prestige, will be fought in the
next Senate.
Major General MacArthur's
choice for the post of chief of
the Medical Corps, succeeding
Maj. Gen. Merrittee w. Ireland,
was Col. Charles r. Reynolds,
now the senior ranking officer Of
the corps, stationed at Carlisle
Barracks, Pa. Colonel Reynolds
was entitled to the appointment
on the basis of seniority, General
Macarthur believes, and as one
of the outstanding surgeons Of
the Army.
Many Army officers in Wash.
ington side with General Mac
Arthur in the controversy, it is
said.
Colonel Patterson will take
office on June /.

For netting Religious Riots

The strike was called in pro-
test against the death of one of
the rioters in an attack on a
Catholic church.
Cardinal in Hiding
Considerable tension was felt in
Granada, Malaga, Cadiz, and Sc
vile, where the blackened ruins
of churches and converts still
smouldered. Citizens held mass
meetings, demanding additional
government protection.
Thousands of nuns and other
religious workers were reported in
hiding. The sight of ecclesiastical
vestments being sufficient to spur
the rioters to new disorders.
The whereabouts of Cardinal
Primate Pedro Segura, of Toledo,
is unknown. The cardinal was
recently the subject of attack
from the republican press as the
result of a pastoral letter in which
he urged his parish to vote for
candidates who would protect the
rights of the church.

States; Women Work Hard

Believing that repeal Of the
Eighteenth Amendment is nearer
reality now than at any time
since it's adoption more than a
decade ago, the major "wet"
groups Of the nation are weaving
organizations which will reach
into every State and local COM

They are preparing for the big
test which may come in the
national campaign of 1882 or in
the congressional elections Two
years later.

The Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment is speed.
ing the extension Of its work
into small communities, carrying
the organized wet effort directly
to the voters.
Somewhat akin to the methods
of the w. c. T. u, is the work
of the Women's Organization for
Prohibition Reform, headed by
the militant Mrs. Charles H.
Sabin, of New York. Already this
organization has formed branches
in 81 States.
For some time the wet cause
was carried on largely by small
groups Of leaders. The plan of
President Henry HI. Curran, of
the Association Against the Pro
hibitiOn Amendment, and Mrs.
Sabin, it is disclosed, is an am
bilious effort to enroll the rank
and file in their fight.
Divisions In IA States
The Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment reveals it
now has divisions in IA States
They are Vermont, MasSachu
sets, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl

Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ari'
Zona, Nevada and California.
The wet organizations claim
more than 18o members of Con-
gress now are committed to sub
mitting prohibition to the people.
The vets admittedly having
gained in the last election Of
members of the House, are ex.
pected to put forth a big effort
to win control in the next elec-

LUNGWORM TROUBLE IN FOXES
 ITS TREATMENT AND CONTROL

Lungworm trouble is one of the most important diseases of the fox breeding industry. Each year it's prevalence is steadily increasing, both in the number of ranches in volved and in the relative number of serious cases of the disease on affected ranches Because of it's in- sidious and chronic nature, fox farmers usually do not give lung worm trouble much attention until after it has become we'll established and has developed to be a perma- nent handicap to the most success full operation of their ranches.
 Cause and Modes of Transmission
 The lungworm most commonly found on fox farms in this country iCapillaria aerophila) is white, slender worm, varying from one to three inches in length. It is us- ually present in the windpipe and it's branches,
 The worm is transmitted through eggs, which. after being raised from the lungs, are usually swallowed and then passed in the feces With suitable moisture and temperature conditions the eggs undergo an in cubation in which the embryo worm is developed within the shell. It is believed that foxes pick up this parasite in eating or licking sub- stances or objects that are con- taminated with the embryonated eggs. Through one means or an- other the eggs hatch and the lar val worms eventually reach the air passages of the lungs, where they remain and grow

Occurrence

LungWOrmS are more troublesome on old ranches than on new ones, largely because of the gradual &C., emulation of embryonated eggs in the pen soil Occasionally, however, they may be exceedingly trouble some on ranches that have been in operation for only couple of years. Tn such cases there usually is a history of bad rattlers wheezers, or coughers that have been allowed to stay in the regular breeding pens in stead of being moved promptly and kept in isolated quar- terS where they can not contam- mate ground occupied by healthy foxes
 Poor ainag ge, wet weather, heavy soil, and shade tend to favor incubation of the eggs and are, therefore, conducive to the devel- opment of the parasite. AS a gen. eral rule, lungworms are not troub- lesome on unshaded and we'll drained ranches with a sandy soil or on those where the foxes are kept in clean and properly drained concrete or board-floOr pens.
 In our northern climate cases of lungWorm trouble rarely develop after freezing weather sets in. In fact, most foxes having the disease recover from both symptoms and infestation during the winter, par ticularly if it is cold one with a heavy snowfall and little thawine weather. Nevertheless, after the snow melts in the spring, the foxes again start picking up lungworms Thus, this parasite disease tends to run seasonal cycle in the north ern part of the United States, the foxes picking up infestation anc developing symptoms in spring anc summer and early in fall and ther recovering during winter.
 Symptoms
 Foxes lightly infested with lung worms, and even some of thos, moderately infested, usually shov no noticeable symptoms. In som, of the moderate and practically al of the heavy infestations, however symptoms become apparent, con sisting usually of one or more 0 the following: A wheeze, a rattle rales, short-wind, or spawl of deep husky or cking cougl

LEAGUE COURT
DELAY SEEN
IN SENATE
Johnson Alone Predicts 1t
Will Receive Early Action;
Root Message Discounted

Speculation was renewed today
as to whether consideration of the
Administrations League Court
protocol by the Senate could be
deferred until December in view
Of the appearance before the Sen,
ate Foreign Relations Committee
Of Elihu Root, one-time Secretary
Of State and father of the com
promise proposal under which the
United States might adhere.
Senator Johnson (RO of Cali
fornia, court foe, predicted the
President would call a special ses-
sion.
johnson UncOnvinced
On the other hand, Senator La
Toilette !RO of Wisconsin, an
other court opponent, said he ex-
pected nothing more to be done
until December.
Anti-court Senators generally
felt that Mr.. Roots appearance
before the committee yesterday
threw no additional light on the
proposal for the United States ad-
herence.
Senator Johnson said he was
not convinced by Mr.. Roots assur-
ance that the Root-Hurst protocol
was in substance the Senate's
fifth reservation regarding ad-
viSory opinions.
Reservation Changed
Senator johnson said:
"He did not bring back an
acceptance by the SignatOries of
the fifth reservation. He
brought a substitute. 1t was
not the fifth reservation un-
impaired, as Mr.. Root told the
committee. If they had
accepted that reservation, there
was no reason why it should not
have been brought back intact.
The very fact that he provides
a substitute proves it is not
the same thing"
Although Senators Reed CRO of
Pennsylvania, Borah (R) of
Idaho, chairman of the Foreign
Relations Committee, and Walsh
CD of Montana questioned Mr..
Root after his two-hour state
ment, it was apparent he was
not being severely cross-examined
