MALTA ENDS STRIFE
INVOLVING CHURCH
British Prime Minister of Island
Offers Apology to Close
Two Year Feud.

BY the Associated Press.
VALETTA, Malta, June 1.-Two
years of strife between the British gov
eminent of Malta and the Catholic
Church was brought to an end yester-
day by an apology from the British
prime minister, Lord Strickland, to the
church authorities.
Lord Strickland admitted that in
defending himself against his political
opponents" he clashed with the church,
and withdrew his words. He reiterated
that he wished to remain a faithful
son OF the holy church,
The affair began when Lord Strick-
land protested the transfer of a Fran
c1scan monk from the island to Sicily.
He charged the church with perse-
cutting the man for his political fidel-
1ty to Great Britain.
The bishops of Malta thereupon is
sued a pastoral letter, declaring any
one who voted for Lord Strickland
party in the 1880 elections was com
hitting a mortal sin.

NEW YORK, June 4.-The Walker
case, which promises to reverberate into
national politics, will lie before Gov
Franklin D. Roosevelt next week.
Investigator Samuel Seabury, who has
declared there are grounds to remove
Mayor James J. Walker, said last night
he would rush the official record of the
case to Gov. Roosevelt "as early next
week as possible"
Called for Action.
His statement came after the Gov
ernor, in sharp statement, called on
the Legislative Investigating Commit
tee and Seabury, its counsel, to stop
talking and do something If in their
Judgment circumstances warrant &C
ton.
Gov. RooSevelt's status as candidate
for the Democratic presidential nominal
ton and Mayor Walkers as prominent
Tammany Hall Democrat have created
national interest in the outcome.
With the record, Seabury said he
would send an analysis of the testimony
taken during a series Of hearings. He
did not use the word Charges"
Civic Bodies Act.
The Governors statement apparently
was occasioned by published reports
that the committees counsel would not
file charges until the Governor had an
opportunity to act on his own initiative
Newspapers said the Governor regarded
delay in filing the charges as an at
tempt to embarrass him just before the
National Convention.
DR.. William J. Schieffelin, head of
the Citizens Union and the Citizens
Committee of One Thousand, disclosed
yesterday the Merchants Association
had been invited to join with other
groups in petitioning for the mayors
removal. He said the Society for the
Prevention of Crime feels the Governor
should also convene an extraordinary
term Of Supreme Court to clear the way
for criminal prosecution.

Three Changes of High Glass Pic
lures Given Each Week

Wednesday, Thursday 'Kongo."
Throbbing of war drums, the muf-
fed beat of countless black feet
trampling the underbrush of the
African jungle, and white devil
in wheel chair, emphasizing his
commands with a long bullwhip.
That is 'Kongo," a melodrama
with Walter Huston. It is Huston
bringing his most colorful stage
role to the screen. "Kongo" ran
more than a year in New York, and
it was while Huston was enacting
the terrifying role of 'Deadlegs"
Flint that Hollywood first saw him
in those brilliant character talents
which have since enriched the rec
ords of screen drama. Black magic
and the arts of the white conjurer,
burning desire for revenge and
the pathetic efforts of white men
and women to fight the spell of the
jungle all these are admixed in
the gripping melodrama which
takes place in the heart of Africa,
where a paralyzed white man rules
as the uncrowned king of super
stitious savages and plots his grisly
vengeance on those he fancies have
wronged him. In the femme roles
opposite him are Lupe Velez and
Virginia Bruce. The madcap Lupe
has the part Of copper-skinned
Portuguese mink, Flint's woman,
capricious yet servile, devoted yet
untamed. Virginia Bruce, who be-
came Mrs. Gilbert during the film
ing of "Kongo," is the white girl
who innocently becomes the victim
Of "Deadlegs" Flint's Vaccinations.

SAFETY COUNCIL
GIVES ADVICE
Motorists Should be Particu-
larly Careful With Pedes-
trians Crossing Street
DO NOT 'TAKE-A-CHANCE'

Many accidents happen at regu-
lar crossings. The Delaware Safe
ty Council urges motorists to be
particularly courteous and careful
with pedestrians who are endeavor-
ing to cross the street. If some of
them do not, or will not, pay at
tention to your horn, remember
that some people are deaf while
others are mentally deficient and
that hundreds of people are using
the streets whose old age, youth, in
firmities and physical defects throw
all the responsibility of an accident
upon you. Be especially careful
when two or more people are cross
/ ing the street together. Quite of
ten, before an approaching automo-
bile, one person may stop and one
go on or they may go in opposite
directions. Above all, do not un-
necessarily or suddenly squawk
your horn. Pedestrians may be
easily frightened or temporarily
paralyzed. "Take-a-chance" driv-
ers are the worst enemies of safety.
They are on every road and at
every crowded thoroughfare. They
are always in a hurry When traf-
fic is running in double lines and
the streets are full, Mr.. Take-a-
Chance Driver lodges in and out
and races the field for the next red
light. When everybody is stopping
in obedience to signals he has to
crowd ahead and hog little space.
The line down the middle of the
street is just an invitation to him
to take a chance. He isn't really
in a hurry he is merely adventur-
Gus. He is selfish; he is discourte-
Gus; he is a bully. Police officers
assigned to traffic duties should
