 After Armour's death in 1926, his creditors refused to place any value upon the stock which. Mrs Armour held. Now, with the sale of the Uni versal oil Products company, her $1,000,00O investment four years ago has yielded something more than 800 per cent.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 30.-The

to be offered in referendum, for
liberalizing the city's blue laws
will probably grant no permission

a whole by the Lords Day Alli-

Cannon Says Check
For $4,000 Did Not
Come From Huston

The $4,000 check which w. H.
Wood received and cashed in Oc-
tober, 1928, may have come from
Claudius H. Huston, but it GER
tainly did not come through
Bishop James Cannon, jr., the
latter maintains.
Mr.. Wood, president of the
American Trust Company Of
Charlotte, N. c., and one Of the
anti-smith leaders in the Tar
heel State, testified before the
Nye investigating committee that
he had received the check drawn
on the Germanic Trust Company
of New York, and later this check
was charged by the bank to the
personal account Of Mr.. Huston,
former chairman of the Repub-
Hcan National Committee.
Exhibits Different Draft
The inference was made that
Mr.. Huston's $4,000 had been
sent to Bishop Cannon, thence
on to Mr.. Wood for anti-Smith
campaigning in North Carolina.
However, Bishop Cannon ex.
hibits in his office a different
$4,000 draft-One drawn by the
bishop on the Continental Trust
Company here in favor of w. III.
Wood, who deposited it October
"a, two days before Mr.. Wood de-
posted the $1,000 check in Mr..
HuStOn's account. The two checks,
Bishop Cannon insists, proves his
point that Mr.. Wood had "a faulty
memory" when the latter testified
before the Nye committee.
Hits Nye Committee
The bishop maintains here to-
day that by producing his SIS, 900
cancelled check to Mr.. Wood he
has thrown a bombshell'' at
those who accuse him Of diverting
campaign money to his personal
account.
The churchman says he intends
to continue to flout the Nye COM
mittee and hopes to discredit it
before the public by making pub
lie, from time to time, documents
refuting its findings. He re-
ce1ved no money from Huston, he
insists today.

"There is too much lying in

Einstein About.faces
According to Einstein's latest
lecture before the Berlin Academy
of Sciences, he has adopted the
Mount Wilson view about the ex-
panding universe, DR.. Adams said,
Before that Einstein believed the
universe was static" or standing
still. The astronomer added:
"The trouble with the ex-
panding universe theory" was
that there did not seem to be
enough time for the stars to
get where they are at their pres
ent speeds.
"EinStein now makes light of
this difficulty and suggests that
the universe may be pulsating
like a beating heart. That is
to say, the universe may be ex.
panding for certain length of
time, and then contracting for
a similar period"
