HELD
STRIFE DETERRENT
Catholic ParIey Is Warned
Industry Becomes Too
Centralized.
LUIS COMPANYS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, October S.-Warned
that GENERALIZATION of industry has
passed the point Of safety" the Ma
tional Conference of Catholic Chari-
ties was told today that the Federal
Governments program of subsistence
homestead is shield against possible
acute internal strife"
Plunging into discussions from
which it will evolve a new creed Of
social justice to guide it the coming
year, the conference today was ad-
dressed by Virgil w. Gael, assistant
in the Division of Subsistence Home
steads of the Department of the In
terror, and Clarence E. Pickett, exec
utive secretary of the American
Friends Service and chief of the con-
sultant staff of the Subsistence Divi-
sion.
Recounting European experience
with industrialism and homesteading
Pickett said, I'VE have developed both
in Europe and in America the en-
ployer -employe relationship, SO that
it is assumed that the only way in
which people can make living is by
being employed by some one else. The
practice of commanding the soil to
bring forth its fruits has largely been
lost. We need to recover the inde-
pendence and security that can alone
be provided, notify any kind Of politi-
cal machinery, but by production from
the soil.
I'VE have some years left in this
country before acute internal strife is
likely to develop. 1t seems to be in
evitable that this stage will come un-
less we relocate large numbers OF our
people who are now living in indus
trial communities, who who are un-
or who are living on land
which does not produce enough to
provide the necessities of life"
Al Smith believes it is up to some
one besides the Government to give a
lift on relief work. He said SO last
night in an address at the formal
opening of the conference.
The relief of distress said the for
mer Governor of New York and Demo-
cratic nominee for President in 1923,
has ever been an essential part of the
of the Catholic Church. We
can, therefore, never think Of turning
over our entire responsibility to the
state or any other agency"

TREASURY YTOCLOSE|
CONVERS|ONBOOKS|
Holders of 10-12-Year
Bonds Must Take Cash
After Thursday.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With Government bond prices ad-
vancing, holders of $50, 100000 Fourth
Liberty 4As, called by the Treasury
Department, turned them in last week
for new securities bearing per cent
less interest. This brought the total
submitted for conversion to $780,
100000.
The Treasury, in making public
these figures for the week, announced
books would be closed on 1912 year
3Ls Thursday. After that holders Of
the bonds must take cash. The called
bonds are those whose serial numbers
end in or 8.
Speculation Aroused.
The strength of Government obliga-
tions in the last few days, bringing
bonds similar to the new 3As to
slightly more than q point above par,
aroused renewed speculation as to
whether a call for additional Liberties
would be made October Is.
If more of the fourth 4As are to
be converted April IS, notice must be
given six months previously. Treas
ury officials, asked as to the proba-
bility of such action, pointed out that
calls usually were not made until the
last day permitted-in this case Oc-
tober Is.
In a press conference Thursday
Undersecretary Coolidge indicated
market conditions in the interim
would be studied carefully.
Results Held Satisfactory.
Oficials said they considered the
results of the current operation highly
satisfactory, inasmuch as only $780,
100000 out of the 81 200, 900, 900 called
had not been submitted.
They said they expected substantial
additional amounts would be turned
in for new bonds before the books
closed.
Holders Of 1854, 900 900 of the called
Libertys have elected to take the 34
per cent securities. Approximately
1896 100000 owned chiefly by banks,
were offered for four-year 2l2 per cent
notes, which are no longer available.

u. S. WILL APPEAL
PRICE-FIXING CASE
Federal Attorney at Memphis Pre-
pares Plea in Ruling on
Lumber Code.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, october g.
United States District Attorney
William McClanahan today was pre-
pairing an appeal from the decision
of Federal Judge Harry B. Anderson
that price fixing under the lumber
code was illegal.
His action followed a statement last
night by J. H. Townshend, secretary
manager for the Hardwood Manu-
facturers' Institute, Inc, code enforc-
ing agency for the Southern and
Appalachian regions. that the end
of price fixing in the industry was
a possibility" by next Spring IF
production is reduced sufficiently"
Judge Anderson in his decision Sat
urday held that ANY price-flxing is
the antithesis of competition, fair or
otherwise-and there is nothing in
the national industrial act to show
that such was the intention of Con-
greSs."
The very term fair competition, I"
Judge Anderson ruled, negatives any
such construction.
Judge Anderson's decision was re-
graded as far-reaching, in that it
may affect other codes under the

Assurance that no Americans had
been reported injured in the continu-

Sequently he received report from

BelittIed Champ Tosses 81 Per Cent Ringers to

round engaged Tonight is the dead
line for qualifying.
A surprise performer now tops the
field in Virginia in the person of Ray
mond L. Frye, who halls from Orkney
Springs. Shooting 68 ringers in 100
shoes, Frye piled up 226 points to sur
pass by far all riva.s. Hoot Danz-
berger. who, like Frye. is having his
first experience in The Star tourna
ment, made certain Of place In the
play-offs with a score of 191, compiled
with SIS ringers. Ed Henry, sadly off
form all Summer due to poor health,
suddenly regained his old mastery and
with SO ringers and l89 points landed
among the leaders. Another star who
seems to be Gin" is Charles Chic Darr,
former State champion, with 45-l79.
"A IL under Darr are of gloomy sta
~ tus and their chances OF making
the grade to the play-of are not
enhanced by news that a group of
stars from Roanoke contemplates
competing. The tournament manage
ment today wired the Roaroke pitch
ers for the scores of a 1C0-shoe test
taken by them.
Frye's entry alone changes the COM
plexion of the struggle not only for
the Old Dominion title, held by George
Thompson, but the metropolitan crown
worn by another Virginian, Clayton
Henson. In a tune-up match at Falls
Church, Frye put the bug on Henson
in a manner that left "Boo's" hackers
not little worried. However, it has
happened many times that, a WOW in
practice has turned out a bust in the
big tournament, and Henson so many
times has come through in the tight
places that he will have lots of sup
port when the 16 best twirlers go to
post August 80 and 81 in the metro
politan finals.

Blows Chance for Medal.

n lilly DETTWEILER, the young
n est player to qualify for the 1882
championship played over this
same Five Farms course, had great
chance to win the medal after his
opening rs. For Billy stepped over
the first nine of the afternoon round
in IS, leaving him a SO home to
win by a shot. But he started the
back nine 6, 5, against par 4, 4, and
then ran into an unplayable lie on
the fourteenth for 7. He did well
to get home in 43, with 6 on the
eighteenth, but he qualified handily.
That black-haired Irishman from
Beaver Dam Martin F. Mccarthy, who
has more Judgment in shot making
than most golfers, as he put it, simply
knocked the ball toward the hole and
avoided trouble" to get safely in.
Jimmy Drain, the tall Washington
youngster, is the real surprise. Jimmy
won his home-club tournament three
years ago and whipped Roger Peacock
at Columbia this year, but outside OF
that he hasn't done much. Today
he stands out as one of Washington's
best golfers on the basis of his scoring
yesterday.
John Shorey, for years one Of the
Capitals finest shotmakers, played
well within himself at all times for
his 76-75-151 to run second to
Vinson among the Washington quail
fierS.

THE SPOR7ZIGHT

Well, the average class j sloop
(Which is the technical size and desig-
nation of cup defenders and chal-
lengers) can be built for something
around $145,000 if you pinch and
scrape. Then you have to buy at least
three masts at $4,000, a brace of
booms at $4,000, a crew at 100000
(for cup racing is an all-year job) and
several hundred G'S, as Mr.. Robinson
might say, for the dockage, wharfage,
carriage and auxiliary boats which are
necessary to the welfare of Americas
cuppers.
That totals $999, ,997.50. If you add
25-word cable to Mrs. Sopwith at 10
cents a word (26, if he incloses his
love- it makes cool million dollars
for defender and challenger alike.
There are some healthy wagers on the
side, what is more. The boys who bet
don't say much about it. They let
their money speak for itself.
One thing more, when September
is rolls around (and If you think the
Summer hasn't flown, just look at a
calendar) it will be apparent that Mr..
Sopwith's challenge is no empty one.
The Endeavour is speedy, weather.
welcome boat, built on American racing
lines.
The Shamrocks were built on
Lipton's lines, which always
were about 10 years behind the
trend in sloop construction.
The Endeavour is, moreover, in the
hands of a covey of amateur water
babies who will fight it out on that
line if it takes all Summer. They
aren't union men. If earnestness will
bring back the old mug to England,
the Sopwith tug has what it takes.

not quite as well mounted as the local
boys, but ridden with sufficient daring
to make up for other deficiencies,
and solemnly determined to avenge
the 2-1 defeat the Americans handed
them in the initial series last Spring.
It was further evident that the

gaudy trappings Of gold braid, top

Capt. Frank A. Allen, the amiable

Fort Myer, already is envisioning
scenes Of Oriental splendor for his
local revival of the old Indian stick
and ball game. He hopes to have the
list of official and diplomatic guests
topped of by President Roosevelt
himself, with everybody from major
generals to ambassadors spread out
like glittering fan along the box
row. An internationalist of the game,
perhaps Louis E. Stoddard or Devereux
Milburn, will be invited down to
referee.
And then, of course, there will be
a military band, and probably some
protocol for those who like 1t.

to do business. It's unfortunate that
the fans. in their fickle, unreasoning
way, will ignore virtue and the quiet
life to sing hymns or catcalls at the
shrine of chunky menace like Hack
Wilson or a crude, absent-minded
person like George H. Ruth.
Color seems to be a vital asset,
though, and If Melvin OFT can't pro-
duce anything better than a two
penny coin, vintage of 1854, the boys
will do whatever is possible with the
materials on hand. I still think,
along with Mr.. Terry, that kidnapping
would be a better bet.
