tutional Rights decided TO constitute
itself q commission Of inquiry into the
legality OF. the decree promulgated last
Monday by the chancellor dissolving the
Reichstag. The action was taken with
the support Of the National Socialists
and the Communists.
The commission planned to summon
the chancellor and other members of
the government as witnesses and Her
mann Goering, Natioal Socialist preSi-
dent Of the Reichstag, said he did not
believe the chancellor would disregard
the summons.
In behalf Of the government, how
ever, it was said the cabinet did not
recognize any right Of the committee
to turn itself into an investigating
commission. AS long as Speaker Goe-
ring maintains his present attitude, 1t
was said, the ministers will refuse to
appear.
Defamation Suit Ordered.
Capt. Goering instructed his attor-
ney today to file suit against Chan

Of character. He based the action on
the chancellors letter to him accusing
him of having violated the constitu-
tion by refusing to grant the chan
cellor the privilege Of the floor during

ended in dissolution.

PREACHER ACCUSED
Of POISONING WIFE.
Prosecutor Frees Girl He
Wed Two Months After Death
of First Spouse.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
MUSKOGEE, Okla, August "a
grand jury investigating the death BY
poison of the first wife of a 52-year- old
minister was to hear today from the
county attorney of the tangled romance
of the preacher and his 19-year-old bride.
Prominent in the evidence WhiCn
County Attorney Phillip K Oldham had
prepared for the jurors examination
were passionate letters and verse which
Oldham said the minister, S. A. Berrie,
admitted he wrote to his present wife
before the death Of his first, last March.
Berrie was held in Jail "for investiga-
tion," but Oldham ordered the girl wife
released in custody of her mother, say
ing he thought she was "the victim Of
circumstances"
Among the lines which Oldham said
were penned in Berries hand, were the
following:
ITO me no other one can be;
For you alone live.
Oh, why can't We be free?"
Others tcld of impatience for that
bliss:ul happy day" when they could be
married.
Berrie founded the Bethel Taber-
nacle here in May after the Cherokee
HTeSDytSTy accused MN OF teaching
doctrines contrary to the Presbyterian
faith" Berrie has appealed and the
case is scheduled to come before the
State Synod in October.
The first Mrs. Berrie died March 81
at church gathering. On May II the
pastor married Miss Ida Bess Bright,
Sunday school teacher in the taber-
nacle.
The prosecutor said an examination
of the body of Berries first wife follow
ing eXhumation requested by a sister,
Mrs. Glen Trotter of Sentinel, Okla, re-
vealed the presence of poison.
Oldham said he had learned Mrs.
Berrie had taken a capsule, presumably
containing a headache powder The
county attorney also said Berrie tolf
him his wife had threatened suicide

NEW YORK, August "a Sweep

ticket in Kentucky was predicted yes

years was Democratic national COM
mitteeman from Kentucky and for
years secretary of the national COM

THE mines have been virtually idle
for two years and thousands of miners
are destitute and objects OF charity.
But in the cities and agricultural dis

NEW YORK, August 8.-Samuel Ur-
termyer, representing an independent
group of Kreuger & Toll security hold
ers, protested yesterday a proposed con-
ference at Stockholm to discuss re-
organization of the Kreuger industries
on the ground that it was premature.
In our Judgment" he cabled the
liquidatorS at Stockholm. "any such
meeting and any reorganization plan
promulgated now. before detailed ac-
countants' and appraisers reports have
been received, studied and checked by
our accountants, would be premature,
unfortunate and prejudicial to the
eventual success of any reorganization.
I'VE are anxious to cooperate
actively and Fundamentally on the re-
organization with open minds and hope
no step will meantime be taken and no
plan projected to interfere. Consider
ing that American investors are the
chief victims, we hope these views will
prevail"

FOUR WAR MEDALS
CO UNCLAIMED
Admiral Sims Among Service
Men Who Ignored or Re-
jected Honors.

officials at the Navy Department re-
! vealed yesterday that four outstanding
naval officers declined high decorations
awarded them during the World War
and for more than a decade these have
been gathering dust in the archives
here.
Among those who left their decora-
tions with their Government is Admiral
William s Sims, who commanded the
U. S. Naval forces in Europe. He
turned down a Distinguished Service
Medal, which the department still is
holding for him.
While there is no written communica-
tion in the files relative to the reason
for Admiral Sims action, some eX-
pressed the opinion it was due to his
famous controversy with Secretary of
the Navy JoSephus Daniels Immediately
following the war. The citation may be
claimed at any time by the admiral or
his heirs.
Admiral Sims, now on the retired list,
is living at Newport, r. I.
Admiral Johnston's Rejection.
Another high-ranking officer who re-
jected his award is Rear Admiral Mar
bury Johnston, now on the retired list
and living in Cuthbert. Ga. The Board
of Awards recommended Admiral john
ston for a Distinguished Service Medal,
but Secretary Daniels recommended only
Navy Cross, the admiral learned. Ac-
cordingly in November, 1920, he wrote
the department that he could not "ac-
cept the cross and retain my own self
respect"
Capt. Franck T. Evans, now on the
retired list and living in New York,
also rejected a Navy Cross. He was
commanding officer of the U. S. S. May
and later of the Naval Aviation Station
at Pauillac, France.
Capt. Evans returned the Navy Cross
to the department in December, 1920,
with this letter: while I am deeply
appreciative of the honor the depart
ment has conferred. I feel unable to
accept this decoration and hence re-
turn it,"
Distinguished and Heroic"
First Lieut.. Fletcher w. Brown of
the U. S. Coast Guard, who is now In
that service at Gloucester, Mass, also
returned a Navy Cross. During war
time the Coast Guard becomes part of
the Navy Brown was cited for dis
tinguished and heroic service as an
officer of the U. S. S. Seneca in
volunteering to lead party of men to
board the British steamer wellington
following the torpedoing of that vessel
on September 16, 1918" Brown and
the men from the Seneca's crew per-
sisted in their attempt to save the We'll
lington and finally abandoned the ship
only when she was on the point Of
sinking in heavy sea.
In returning the Navy Cross in No
vember, 1920, Lieut.. Brown, who now
holds the rank of commander, wrote
that acceptance of the cross would be
an admission that the service performed
by the Seneca's volunteers was not above
and beyond the call of duty"
