PASTOR DEN0UNCES
MURDERERS OF BABY
Congregation Applauds Dr.. Albert
J. Mccartney as He Calls for
Fight. Against Crime.

A fashionable Connecticut, avenue
congregation was stirred to applause
yesterday when Rev. Dr. Albert Joseph
Mccartney, pastor of the Covenant
First Presbyterian Church, in his morn
ing sermon expressed the hope that the
kidnapping and murder Of the Lindbergh
baby would bring America to its senses
in the face Of the crime wave.
IF this crime cannot kindle such a
fame of righteous indignation that
shall help purge this Nation Of its law
lessness." DR.. Mccartney declared.
then God help America, for she is
lost utterly lost, and it Is but a ques-
tion of time until our boosted land Of
freedom shall find herself in common
destiny with Nineveh and Tyre"
DR.. Mccartney said 1t takes tragedy
like the Lindbergh crime to shock the
world to its senses and added that II
"the heart Of the Nation, shocked by
the pititful remains Of yonder little
child in Hopewell, can only be galvan-
lied into vast determination to change
the whole face Of human society, to
have millions make a vow to God as
one man to come away from our wor-
ship Of false gods and our alliance with
lust and adultery and greed and our
casual attitude toward lawIessness, then
some blessing may be distilled from this
cup of woe
At the conclusion OF his sermon DR..
McCartney's congregation rose to its
feet and applauded. 1t was voted i'm
mediately afterward to distribute printed
copies Of the sermon to every member
OF the church and to make every effort
to broadcast the sermon over a radio
station.

LAW FEES DENIED
IN MERGER FIGHT
Ruling Ends Long Battle for
Youngstown Sheet
& Tube.
By the Associated Press.
ENY HIYdY n~

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, May 16. Attorneys
who fought the now abandoned merger
Of the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co.
with the Bethlehem Steel Corporation
were denied their claims that the
Youngstown company should pay their
fees In O referees opinion given today
by John T. Scott.
The opinion. rendered for the Mahon-
ing County courts, involves fees estl-
mated by various attorneys at from
$500, 900 to $1,000, 900.
Scott was appointed to referee the
matter after a motion was filed to dis
miss the litigation which had held up
the proposed billion dollar merger Op-
ponents had obtained an injunction
stopping the consolidation. 1t was ap-
pealed by proponents Of the deal, but
after the appeal was filed the merger
contract was Cancelled. The anti
merger attorneys put in their claim Tor
fees when the motion to drop the ap-
peal was filed.
Scott held there was no cause OF
action since the merger was enjoined.
The dispute was the last echo OF an
epic battle of modern industrial history.
The merger. itself Gead for some time,
would have created q $l,0OO,000,uoo
concern.
The struggle, known as a battle OF
"Ohio versus Wall Street" began In
March, 1890, when Cyrus S. Eaton,
Cleveland financier, and the largest in
dividual stockholder in Sheet and Tube,
heard Of the plans for merging with
Bethlehem.
He promptly began a proxy war In
which millions were spent by both sides.
Eaton himself was estimated to have
spent around $8,000.000. Charges that
the proposed exchange of four shares
of Bethlehem for three shares of Sheet
and Tube was inequitable were made by
Eaton and his associates.
The merger, however. was ratified by
the necessary two-thirds ma jority Of
the stockholders on April 0, 1880. Eaton
then went to the Mahoning County
courts and obtained an injunction re-
straining the union on the ground that
stockholders had not been properly
consulted.
The merger forces appealed. but later
Bethlehem exercised its privilege OF
canceling the contract. Attorneys for
the Eaton group stepped In and request
ed their fees be paid by Sheet and
Tube. They contended they had saved
the company several million dollars by
their successful suit.

GARNER TAKES NEW.
RAP AT PRESIDENT.
Says Confidence Will Be
Lacking as Long as Hoover
Is in White House.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Renewing his criticism Of the Presi-
dent, Speaker Garner said today "the
truth is that just as long as President
Hoover is In the White House, the peo-
pie of this country will not have any
confidence"
Asked at his daily conference with
rlewspapermen whether he desired to
answer the statement issued by Senator
Moses in defense OF Mr.. Hoover, the
Texan said
THE President sent for the distin-
guished author of the sons of the wild
jackass' to defend him. 1t must have
gotten under somebody's skin. The
truth is pretty effective.
Senator Moses reSorted to the old
trick of confession by avoidance He
admitted what I said about the Presi-
dent was the truth, but then said, Well,
look at yourself.
Inconsistency Charged.
Mr.. Garner said: THE President says
on one hand not to spend any more
money and then on the other hand
sends messages up to Congress asking
for appropriations Of millions of dollars.
OllC Odf Sdso POb4lI
Ings to relieve unemployment, and the
next day he says don't issue any more
bonds His statements are contra
dictory
Moses came to the defense of the
President yesterday, and in a statement
replied to Garner's first attack. He
admonished the Speaker ito forget for
a time that he is a candidate for the
presidency" and furthermore declared
the Texan had lost his leadership" and
the Democratic majority in the House
had lost the confidence of the public.
The Texas Democrat had blamed
statements of the Chief Executive for
having done more to keep the peoples
minds unsettled than any other one
thing" and said If he would refuse to
issue a statement for 80 days II would
guarantee that things would thaw out"
Moses. in statement. said 1T Is diff
cult to know. upon en- outbreak like
this. whether it is Speaker Garner or
Candidate Garner who Is doing the talk
ing adding:
mot only has Mr.. Garner lost his
Leadership. but the Democratic
ma ajor'ty in the House has lost its sbil-
ity for constructive action end with II
the confidence Of the public"
Who viii Guarantee Guarantees?
mo wonder that Mr.. Garner now
wishes that the President had remained
rilent!' Moses added mo wonder
that he gives gsrrulous guarantees thst
If the President will keep silent. all
will be well But who will guarantee
the Garner guarantees?
Meantime, if Mr.. Garner really
wants to be of service to his country, I
counsel him to forget for a time that
he is a candidate for the presidency,
to remember that he is Speaker Of the
House of Representatives, and from that
lofty position to make public declars-
ton that he and his followers in the
House would give support and co-opera-
ton in the early completion of the re-
naming part of the reconstruction pro-
gram of the President. Then Mr..
Garner not only would give great hope
and confidence to the Nation, but
would prove himself great American
and by thus restoring his political pres
tige also would prove himself a great
candidate"

Col. Schwarzkopf advanced the belief
that the person to whom DR.. Condor
