NEW ORLEANS, March 10
The only change in the Cleveland
Indians this season as against
the Indians of 1891 is in the
attitude of Manager Roger Peck
inpaugh.
He is done with experimenting
at ShortStop, where the Tribe has
dallied with a dozen or more can
didates in the last two years, and
he is no longer willing to balance
Eddie Morgan's $50 batting aver
age against sub.major league
fielding.
Morgan, who plays first base,
hit over $50 last season, but his
home run record fell from rs to
IL and his work in the field was
pretty bad. -,
Power or not, Morgan will not
play first base for the Tribe un-
less he can show a considerable
improvement in the field. and
there is some doubt of that, Right
now, Morgan is slated to warm
the bench while the job is as
signed to Bruce Connatser, a
youngster who played a dozen
games the tail-end Of last season
and made an impressive showing
Slow Starter
Connatser is a hapleSs looking
ballplayers, especially in the
spring. TWO years ago Terre
Haute didn't want him but had to
play him as it was then a Cleve-
land farm. ConnatSer hit, 1913.
Last year New Orleans didn't like
his looks either, but was per-
suaded to try him and he hit 1874.
There never has been any question
about his ability to field. He's
good.
If both Connatser and Morgan
fail, there is Bill Sweeney, for
mer Detroit and Boston first
sacker, now with the Cleveland
owned Toledo club. Otherwise,
the Indians will take the field
exactly the same as last season.
The outfield is plenty good,
with the sensational youngster,
VoSmik, in left, the home-run
hitting Averill in center and
Porter in right. This trio hit,
respectively, 1888, 800 and .312
last season. In reserve are the
veteran Jameson and young
Seeds, both of them with aver
ages over 800 and capable in the
field.
Montague At Short
The steady Kamm is still at
third. Montague won the, short
stop job last season and showed
so much that Manager Peckin-
paugh isn't even considering any
other candidate. The slugging
Hodapp is on second. Burnett,
who may beat out Hodapp for
second, can also be used at third
and short. Sewell and Myatt
are on hand for the catching.
and there is a kid receiver named
Pytlak from Buffalo who looks
like a real conner.
The brilliant Wesley Ferrell
heads a strong pitching staff
Others considered regulars are
Hudlin, Harder, Brown, ConnaHy
end Jablonowski with the latter
two doing the bulk of relief pitch
ing. The best Of the youngsters
is Hildebrand, with Indianapolis
last season.
Last season the Tribe as a
whole was only one point behind
the Yankees in team batting
This batting punch and pretty
good pitching were nullified by
the worst Unfolding in the major
league.

His club finished third last
season, and ever the winter he
traded two pitchers who be-

him, for an outfielder who last

according to his viewpoint,

otherwise putting 1t in a po-
sition to win the 1882 American

NAVY BUILDING BILL
DELAY IS PROPOSED.
Robinson Would Await De-
veIopmentS of Geneva
Arms ParIey.

A thirty-day postponement Of con-
sideration of the naval construction
bill was proposed in the Senate today
by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader, to await develop
ments of the Geneva disarmament par
ley.
Robinson told the Senate he favored
the Hale bill authorizing construction
of the American Navy to the limits pro-
vided by the London treaty unless the
Geneva conference shall reach an
agreement which shall make unneces-
sary that course"
"A delay until further developments
OF the Geneva Conference could not
impair in any sense the national de-
fense," he contended
Chairman Hale of the Naval Commit
tee has pending motion to take up
the construction bill.
Events have transpired at Geneva, 4"
conceded Robinson, who himself was a
member of the American delegation to
the 1880 London Conference, which
show that the task of the conference
is exceedingly difficult and may not re-
suit in signal success.
Early in the present year an arma-
mentS truce was entered into by the
leading nations participating in the
Geneva Conference. I do not assert
that to proceed now with construction
contemplated by this legislation con-
stitutes violation of the letter of that
truce. 1t certainly might be construed
as interfering with the spirit of that
agreement"

N. T. BISHOPS FIRM
FOR PROHIBITION
Oppose MiIitarism-Church
Unity, Christian Standard
in Industry Favored.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., May 3.-The
Board Of Bishops of the Metho-lSt Epis-
copal Church in their Episcopal letter
to the general conference met the move
ment for the return of liquor control to
the States today with a declaration In
favor Of national prohibition
There Is no room in our national
household for two antagonistlc systems,
one Iegalizing the liquor traffic, the
other outlawing it, the Episcopal mes
sage said "As church We can follow
no course except the one that will re-
duce the consumption of beverage al
cohol to the minimum. We are con-
vinced that national prohibition is that
method"
Against Militarism.
The letter also sounded opposition to
a Christian standard in industry and a
receptive spirit toward unifcation with
other kindred denominations.
Bishop William F. Anderson Of Boston
read the episcopal letter.
The epistle, commenting on overtures
for unification with kindred denOmina-
tions, said:
THE attitude of our church toward
Christian unity has been unvarying.
In our organization and spirit we
are well situated for unity with other
Christian bodies. We strictly repudiate
all conceptions of prelacy. Recent
years have witnessed a very evident
trend toward union. particularly within
denominational families. Definite re-
suits have not yet been secured. but

genuine progress has been achieved Id
mutual understanding and good Will"
This passage was generally accepted
as referring TO the move for the reunit-
ing of the parent Methodist Episcopal
Church with the Methodist Church
South and the Methodist Protestant
Church.
On the subject Of the Christian stand
ard In industry the letter blamed the
industrial practices of past decades
for "the deplorable conditions of today"
and called for the conformation of busi-
ness policies to Christian principles.
The letter also said:
"Our conviction conlpels us to declare
ourselves against the manufacturer for
profit and the sale of munitions of war
by private corporations: against all
forms Of militaristic propaganda that
make the mind toward war rather than
toward peace, and against all move
ments that tend to create larger arma-
mentS or to hinder international agree
ments which are calculated to decrease
and finally Danish the war system"

HOOVER CARRIES MARYLAND.
Leads France by Nearly 10000 in Light
Primary Voting.

BALTIMORE, May 3 (P).-Joseph I.
France, gentleman farmer, a United
States Senator from Maryland a dozen
years ago and aspirant for the Republi-
can presidential nomination, has set
tied his home State argument with
President Hoover and emerged second
best.
The President carried yesterdays
preferential primary by nearly 10000
votes on the basis Of practically COM
plete returns, gathered from one of the
most apathetic contests in years.
Unofficial tabulation from 1882 vot-
ing places out 1855 gave President
Hoover 1896, France 16,518 and an
uninstructed delegation 1,275 votes. 1t
was the first out-and-out contest be-
tween the two.
The apathy which retarded voting in
the primary was brought about by the
fact that Baltimore City had a local
question which took Statewide atten-
tion-repeal of the 200-year-old Sunday
blue laws, which were sWamped in an
avalanche that surprised the most san
guine liberal.
Former Representative Linwood l..
Clark led State Senator Wallace Will
liams, 23,418 to 1894, for the Repub-
lican senatorial nomination, but organi-
Zation forces, which backed Williams,
claimed they had carried enough coun-
ties to assure their candidate the nomi-
nation under the unit rule in the State
convention.
Senator Millard E. Tydings, the DEM
ocratic incumbent, was unopposed for
denomination.
The two incumbent Representatives
who had contests withStood the assaults
made on them from within the party.
Representative Stephen w. GambrilI
overwhelmed John w. Klemm in the
fifth district, the fourth time he has
beaten him in a primary, and in the
second district Representative William
p. Cole led Edgar r. McShane heavily
to gain denomination.
In the same district Edwin H. Pitcher
and David L. Elliott were nip and tuck,
the former holding but a 32-vote lead,
with decision lying with precincts still
unreported
Delegates to the Democratic and Re-
publican State convention also were Sc
lected at yesterdays polling and will
gather in Baltimore later this month
to take formal action on naming and
instructing the States delegates to the
national convention in Chicago next
month.
The Democratic convention will take
the mere formality Of naming and in
struct1ng Is delegates for Gov Albert
G. Richie. The Democratic conven-
ton will meet May IL, while the Repub-
llcans have yet to set their date.

Always Baltimore met defeat in the
Legislative halls, being outvoted by the
counties, although the city has one
half the population of the State. At
the 1881 session, however, city dele
gates succeeded in gaining the right to
vote on the question in the most bitter
fight of the entire meeting.
The Legislature passed an enabling
act, under which the City Council Of
Baltimore passed an ordinance, through
which Sunday sports. entertainments
and restricted retail sales were permit
ted. The ordinance. the Legislature de-

repeating the State laws in the city.
1t was the ordinance which was
passed yesterday, after the Court Of Ap-
peals ruled, over the objection of the
Lords Day Alliance and other con-
servative organizations, that the legisla-
tive act and the councils action were
legal.

JOLIET, Ill, May 3.-Gus Miller,
wealthy malt manufacturer, today de-
liberated over two ransom letters he had
received concerning his kidnapped son.
One letter, close friend said, in
structed Miller to go to an Eastern city,

bring money what was asked with
you" 1t was said to have been signed
with the Greek letter delta.
Miller's son, Gustav, %, disappeared
Thursday. The father declined to say
whether he would go East. 1t was
understood he might send some one in
his place. The name of the city from
which it was mailed was withheld.
A second letter, believed by police to
have been written by crank, told Mil
Ter to put $25,000 in small bank notes
under the bridge here at o'clock to-
night.
Miller turned only the second letter
over to the chief of police, Nicholas
Fornango, with whom he has refused to

denomination. France ran as a wet,
but he laid particular stress on the eco
nomic conditions existing in the coun-
try today and attacked the Hoover ad-
ministration at every turn.
Early Organization.
In California the Roosevelt Demo-
Gratis were early to organize. Roosevelt
for-PreSident Clubs were established all
through the State. When Speaker
Garner was elected to his present office.
William Randolph Hearst. who pub
fishes string of newspapers in Cali
fornia and elsewhere, declared for
Garner for the Democratic nomination
Tor President, and was very active in
Garner's behalf through his newspapers.
More recently William Gibbs McAdoo,
ardent dry Democratic candidate for
the presidential nomination in 1924,
joined the Garner-for-P President move
ment and is allied with Hearst today in
support of the Speaker. Al Smiths
later, after Smith had announced in
February he was a receptive candidate
for the nomination.
The hope of the Garner people in
California is that Roosevelt and Smith
will split the wet vote in the State
and leave the drys to vote for the
Speaker. Mr. Garner has maintained
a discreet silence on the prohibition
issue ever since he was mentioned for
the presidential nomination. He voted
against the submission of the eight
eenth amendment back in 1917. but
since then he has voted dry in the
House, supporting all enforcement
legislation.
Roosevelt Chance Enhanced.
Looking at the race from the Roose-
welt angle, the New York Governors
opposition should be split between the
Garner and Smith camps, giving
Roosevelt better chance to win than
If he we're opposed merely by one of
these candidates.
Smith, a late entry into the race
received $4,000 votes in California in
1928, indicating a strong following
there, although he was defeated by
President Hoover by upward of half
a million votes. This year there has
been a larger registration of Demo-
Gratis in California than ever before.
The campaign in California has been
waged with great bitterness, particularly
as between the supporters of Smith and
Roosevelt.
Delegates to the Democratic National
Convention are selected today in pri-
maries in Alabama and South Dakota.
In both these States Roosevelt is ex-
pected to add delegate strength to his
following in the Democratic National
Convention. In Alabama two states of
delegates at large have been put for
ward, one instructed for Roosevelt and
the other uninstructed. The unin-
structed delegate candidates have an
rounced their opposition, however, to
Alfred E. Smith, but have said they are
not opposed to Roosevelt.
