LETS GO FISHING"
WORDS TO BE Needed
Worries Forgotten at Magic
Phrase, Says Game Leader,
in Radio Address.

"Jobs, family responsibilities, social
obligations, political entanglements and
even the deadliest worries all go hang
when we hear those magic words, Let's
60 fishing" said Seth Gordon, president
of the American Game Association, in
his radio address this week as the guest
speaker for Rod and Stream" Of The
| Star.
Mr.. Gordon said going fishing Is one
thing and catching fish is another. But
nowadays the average fisherman goes
fishing for the pure love of the sport
rather than for the fish he catches.
In other words, he said, out of the g.
100000 fishermen there are probably
less than 100000 of what he called
meat fishermen"-the fellows who fish
only for fish.
Collectively, groups Of anglers can
rear bass and trout for stocking, and it
won't cost them much money. Right
now am thinking of a little group of
WaltonianS at New London, Mimi, who
took over the town dump, cleaned up
all the old auto bodies, washtubS, broken
iron beds and other debris: took out
the few stumps and logs, built dam,
stocked the stream with spawning-age
bass and the first year produced $4,000
5-inch bass where before there was
nothing but community eyesore," he
said.

ION and Moore for $4,000
Each Result of Campaign.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, May 15.-Bishops Edwin
d. Mouzon and John M. Moore of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South
we're charged today with libel and SIAN
der by Rev. Rembert g. Smith, Sparta
Ga, Methodist minister, in suits filed
in the Federal Courts of Charlotte, N.
c., and Dallas, Tex.
Filing of the suits, each of which asks
$4,000 damages. was made public in
Charlotte and Dallas dispatches and
the allegations upon which they are
based were announced here by j. Ira
Harrellson, attorney for Mr.. Smith.
Outgrowth of 1928 Campaign.
Harrellson said the suits were identi-
cal and we're an outgrowth of Mr.
Smiths opposition to the activities OF
various bishops against Alfred E. Smith
in the 1928 presidential campaign.
The copy Harrellson made public was
of the suit against Bishop Mouzon. Mr..
Smith set forth that after he had pre-
ferred charges at the Methodist General
Conference in Dallas in 1880 against
Bishops James Cannon, jr.; Mouzon
Moore and H. M. Dubose for their I'M
warranted political activities in 1923
Bishop Mouzon made utterances Sian
derouS and defamatory of the plaintiff
to news agency reporter.
These utterances, which Mr.. Smith
said were widely published throughout
the country, are included in the copy of
the suit.
Referred to as Eccentric"
The statement said Rev. Smith
would have given many thousands of
collars for the publicity which he has
been given free of charge" Another al
legged utterance was Characterization of
Mr.. Smith as an honest but eccentric
Methodist preacher"
The copy OF the suit adds that plain
TIL alleges that said utterances 30 made
by the defendant are false and were
made maliciously to injure, r1dicule and
damage the plaintiff"
Court officials In Dallas said Bishop
Moore had been served with the suit fled
there. but court officials in Charlotte
said Bishop Mouzon had not been served
because of the failure of the plaintiff to
post the required 5000 bond
Bishop Moore said in Dallas that he
had not authorized newspaper quota
tons CT any remarks he might have
made about Mr.. Smith.

LUNATIC FREED
 y BY MISTAKE OF ( COURT CLERK
Now All Police of Chicago ! Are Hunting Dangerous ! Man and His Wife Is in { Dread

Chicago, June 19.-(UP)-Freed from jail through the error of a newly appointed court clerk. man who had been branded officially as a dangerous lunatic" roamed at large to-day while police deployed in search of him and stood guard over the home of the wife whom he once almost beat to death. The man, Michael O'Neill, A, was released Tuesday from the county jail. but 1t was not revealed until last night that he was free.
 O'Neill was arrested March 26 after beating his wife unconscious with 6 mallet. He was turned over to the new "behavior clinic" where doctors pronounced him danger ous lunatic with homicidal tenden- cies." Upon the report of the clinic, a jury ordered O'Neil sent to an asy- lum. According to routine. this meant dropping criminal charges against him with the understanding they. be reinstated should he again become sane.
 A newly appointed court clerk who was not familiar with this routine, sent the order for O'Neills release to the county jail. but waited a half hour to send the intended accom- pany order committing him to an asylum. before the second order ar- rived. O'Neill had been freed. Mrs O'Neill was the first to make public the error. Almost mysterical with fear, she reported to the crime com mission that her husband was al large and was given police guard.
