Ceremony at Corner Laying

REV. F.B.SHORT SPEAKER

With appropriate services the
cornerstone of the new educational
unit to the Newark Methodist
Episcopal Church to cost $4,000,
was laid at 3 p. m. daylight saving
time Sunday by the Most Worship
full Grand Lodge of Ancient Free
and Accepted Masons, of Delaware
with Grand Master J. Wallace
Woodford, of Dover, presiding. The
services were held in the church
auditorium conducted by the Rev.
w. E. Gunby, D. D., pastor. The
speaker was the Rev. Francis Bur
gette Short, D. D., of Milford, and
there was special music. It is ex-
pected that this unit will be COM
pleted by September Is and at the
dedication Bishop Edwin Holt
Hughes, of Washington, will be the
speaker. This unit will give the
Methodists of Newark one of the
most complete church plants in the
State. The project was first talk
ed of several years ago but was
postponed. More than a year ago
under the leadership of the Rev.
Mr.. Gunby, pastor, the subject of
enlarging the church was revived
and a committee back of the
pastor went ahead with the plans
and raised the necessary money to
assure its success. Such an un-
dertaking is of material aid to res

preston as those in charge of the
project insisted that local labor be

the King doesn't recognize In himself
any divine right. From olden times
the King Of Siam has been the father
of his people. In fact, the old word
for king" chosen when the people won
their independence and adopted the
name 'Thai'-'free'-free from them
selves-was father Of the country in
Siamese, 'Po Muang.' The King,
like the father in a patriarchial fam
lily. is to be obeyed. That is the rela-
tionship-like a father and his son. :"
Later In the interview he disclosed
plans for granting suffrage to the peo-
pie of Siam.
I'VE are planning a new municipal
law to experiment with the franchise"
he said. Under this law the people
would be permitted TO elect some OF
their municipal councillors. 1t is not
yet a law, you understand, it Is just q
project now.
1T is my opinion that the beginning
of suffrage should be in the municipali-
ties. I believe that the people should
have voice in local affairs. We are
trying to educate them up to 1t. I
think it would be a mistake for us 70
have parliamentary government until
the people have learned to exercise the
franchise through experience in local
government"
He made 1t clear that any political
rights granted to the people would be
on his own initiative, saying that IN
Siam any new movement must come
from above, not by pressure from be-
low"

NEW YORK, June a CP1.-ReportS
of revolution in Siam today brought
from Prince Subba SvaSti the declara-
ton that there must be some mistake. !"
The prince, brother to Slams Queen,
is in America to study police methods.
For the past few days he has been the
guest Of the New York Police Depart
ment.
THAT can't be-" he said when he was
shown a dispatch reporting the revolu-
tion. "Our people in Siam are very
peaceful and much contented. When
left year and half ago. all was
peaceful and don't believe revolu-
ton would start, for there Is no cause
to start one. We have population Of
14,00O. 900 and there are aboyt 1000, 900
Chinese and the same number OF Japa-
nese a
Every now and then the Chinese
go over to the japanese section and
throw stones and break windows. Mis-
understandings follow and the police
go in there and quell the trouble. Per-
haps that's what happened this time.
Sometimes Chinese laborers start
strikes, but these are usually adjusted
after about a weeks time. I am GER
tain that If revolution of serious mo-
ment had started in my country ! most
surely would have been notified by the
Siamese legation at washington"
The prince is technically incognito,
| travelling under the name Of Maj. M. C..
Svasti. He holds the rank of general
in the Siamese Army and is chief Of
Slams criminal investigation depart
ment-his country's Scotland Yard
and is a vice president of the Inter-

Dispatches from Bangkok, the spokes-

The foreign Office said there was
no trouble In the neighboring French

was nothing to indicate the Siamese
revolt was Of Communist origin.
A diplomatic official recalled that
King Prajadhipok has no children. and
said perhaps this rebellion might in
