mistic Reports.

Rev. Cove G. Johnson, pastor of

was elected moderator of the Col
umbia Association of Baptist Churches
at its fifty-seventh annual meeting
today.
w. W. Everett, manager of Wood
ward & LothropS department store,
who has been moderator for the past
two years, was reelected, but i'm
mediately resigned, since it is custom

ing. The morning session was de-
voted principally to reading of letters
from the churches and routine re-
ports.
Mrs. E. Hilton Jackson of the Board
of Lady Managers OF the Baptist
Home for Children paid tribute to
the late Edwin Gould of New York,
who gave S85 900 to the home. She
reported that straitened finances had
necessitated closing one dormitory
Last year, she said. the home made a
profit of $3.50 from its garden and
chicken raising.
A resolution expressing sympathy

branch, said contributions for foreign
missions, which had been on the down
grade, began increasing last November.
He said the fund of $4,000 900 in
vested for retired ministers and MS
sionaries was so wisely placed that
there has been practically no loss dur
ing the depression. He informed the
churchmen that, as an act of econ

Convention in Rochester, N. Y, two

a number of missionaries on furlough
had been able to return to active
work
The last word has not yet been
said on the liquor question" Dr.
said. the people of God will say it.
If there has been any recession. it is
because there has been a let-down in
our spiritual enthusiasm and our de-
sire for better things. We cannot
hope to advance along social. moral
or spiritual lines without spiritual
vitality. We must know how to find
the pole star of our hopes, which is
the Star of Bethlehem"
w. w. Everett moderator of the
association, reported progress in the
District churches particularly by the

ACCORD REACHED
ON LABOR BILL
Terms of Agreement, How
ever, on Wagner Meas
ure Not Disclosed.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Complete agreement among admin
istration leaders on revision of the
Wagner labor disputes bill was re-
ported today by Hugh johnson.
The N. r. A. chief, however, de-
clined to disclose the terms that he,
Secretary Perkins, Donald Richberg,
N. r. A. chief counsel, and Senator
Wagner, Democrat, of New York, had
settled upon.
There was strong indication that
the measure would amend section IA
of the industrial act, the provision
setting forth labor rights, to make
possible majority rule in collective
bargaining negotiations.
johnson told reporters fatty that
as the section stood now majority
rule to the exclusion from negotia-
tlon OF any minority group, no matter
how small, was not possible.
Labor Board Position.
The National Labor Board. under
Senator Wagner, has taken a strong
position that collective bargaining
must be conducted by the majority
union or Group. johnson and Rich
berg have agreed that this is the most
practical method for relations between
employers and their workers, but have
stood fast against permitting it to be
done as long as the law stands as now
drafted.
The automobile strike settlement
established by President Roosevelt
distinctly provided for proportionate
representation between American Fed
Grafton of Labor, company and
other unions.
Extension of the steel code beyond
its present expiration date of May 81
was forecast by Gen. johnson.
Amendment Predicted.
Il think there is no question but
that the code will be slightly amended
and extended" Johnson said.
Will the amendments be in ac-
cordance with the Federal Trade
Commission Recommendations" he
was asked
They'll be IN accordance with our
own ideas" johnson replied. We've
been sitting in on the code right
along
The Trade Commission asSailed
the basing point method of establish
ing prices as procedure which led
to price fixing in the steel industry.
Johnson also is on record as favoring
correction of the basing point system.

D|LL|NGER'S HOST
TO SEE PRESIDENT
Hopes 10 Tell Roosevelt of
Work in Behalf of Warm
Springs Fund.

Emil Wanatka, whose obscure Lit
tie Bohemia" inn at Spider Lake, Wis,
has become famous as the scene of
the recent fatal gun battle between
Federal agents and the Dillinger
gang, was to make an effort today to
see President Roosevelt about an en-
tirely different matter-the Warm
Springs Foundation campaign.
In addition to his duties as pro-
prietor of the bullet-scarred lodge,
Wanatka holds the Craftsmanship of
the Warm Springs Foundation cam
paign at Spider Lake. He disclosed
today that his home town folks, num-
bering scarcely more than 100, raised
SOB last February for the Presidents S
Georgia health project and said he
hopes to tell Mr. Roosevelt all about
the success Of his Spider Lake CAM
paign.
Tells of Federal Raid.
Wanatka also conversed freely
about the spectacular raid on his re-
sort several week ago, during which
Dillinger and half dozen compan-
ions escaped and two men were killed
Wanatka said Dillinger was a model
of good behavior prior to the arrival
of Justice agents. He said ne neither
smoked nor drank, What he was gen.
tlemanly toward the three woman
companions of other members of his
gang and paid his bill several hours
in advance of the raid. which took
place as he was preparing TO check
out.
Denies Tipping Agents.
Dillinger and his men dropped
down an 8-foot embankment to a
narrow beach at the rear of the inn
and fled in the darkness, Wanatka
declared He denied reports it was he
who tipped off the Justice Depart
ment that Dillinger was at the inn.
Wanatka has made no plans to
visit the department, across the street
from his hotel, and officials said he
had no engagement with them.
Wanatka expects to attend a re-
ception at the White House tomorrow
night for those who helped in the
Warm Springs Foundation movement.

Human Side Of the News - ByEdwin c. Hill

the streets was the finest in the
nation. On every single corner
swung a large oil lamp which
was lighted before sunset-high
mark of extravagance!-and
which remained lighted all
night. And in some of the
buildings og the VieuX Care,
the heavy hooks from which
these luxurious lamps were SuS-
pended may still be seen.
A well regulated city was
New orleans in those days. A
cannon was fired at 8 o'clock
on winter nights and at 9 in
the summer. warning all sail
orS and soldiers to get off the
streets and all groceries and
tavernS to close.
The American quarter is the
new town, which is architecture
and in material progress repre-
Sents the American nation. OF
the Spanish days little remains
but decay, encroaching upon
flower and shrub, upon even
the ancient form of things,
leaving only the pale ghost of
other days in the sweet olive
that blossoms against the walls
of the courtyardS.
It is the quarter that Strang-
ers love. 1t is the place first
sought by the Mardi Gras
crowds which flock there every
year from all the world, to
play in the old quarter of
curved iron balconies, patioS
and shady alleys. And the
Mardi Gras crowds know what
is really worth while, for the
carnival in New orleans is
alone in the world for rich
ness and beauty.
ParadeS that cost thousands
of dollars are followed by gor-
geous balls, where social lead
ers and distinguished visitors
from all parts of the country
assemble, when maSkers claim
the streets, make up the sea
son and lend to it touch OF
Splendor found nowhere else
on earth.
All business comes to stand
still. Banks, schools, public
offices, stores and all other
places of business close, as the
city goes on a wild jamboree.
Troubles are forgotten, as rich
and poor band themselves to-
gether to turn the day into a
great orgy of fun.
And at the end Of that day,
at the ball of Rex and Co.
mus, pierrettes, mousquetaries,
chevaliers, dons and harlequinS
vie with one another to make
merry until the magic hour OF
midnight.
Change as she will. New
Orleans will never put material
progress ahead of the grace of
living. Tolerance, charity and
thoughtfulness will ever be her
characteristics.

Striding ahead with the march
of Time, beautiful New ORLEANS
announces a broad program OF
civic improvements. Rising $50
feet above its yellow flood, a
huge bridge will span the
Father of Waters, a bridge 1000
feet long, with two-mile APP
proaches at each end. A new
stadium is planned, together
with parks and public buildings.
But with all these improve
ments comes the less agreeable
news that the historic French
Market and the Vieux Care,
the old city, have been doomed
to make way for progress.
The Vieux Care of New Or
leans is, many believe, the most
romantic quarter in the United
States. The breath of violets
and sweet olives and roses is
in the air, as it was in the
days when the naughty Don
walked in his green courtyard
with the dark-eyed senoritaS
of his court.
In old gardens, fragrant
acacia and rhododendrons
bloom; the cool flutter of long
banana leaves watts subtle
fragrances across the street.
Verdure and Towering shrubs,
and perfumed orange and mag
nolia trees lend shade and
beauty to the gravelled paths.
They remember the group Of
Creole gentlemen who plotted
to rescue the great Napoleon
from the Island of st. Helena.
They echo still to the clanking
swords of French aristocratS and
Spanish grandees; to the foot
steps of Indian trappers pass
ing through on their way to
the market place; to the high
heels of creole ladies hurrying
to the bazaar: UrSuline nuns
going to maSse: to the nightin-
gale notes of Adelina Patti and
Jenny Lind.
And as you drift along to
Jackson Square, you will be told
how the great old Place d'Armes
acquired the name of Old Hick-
DRY; how it's romance and
beauty will be forever coupled
with a beautiful woman-the
lovely Baroness de Pontalba,
once the belle of Paris and New
Orleans.
She admired Andrew Jack
son, with all the ardor of her
race and nature. Determined
to do him honor, she achieved
through her wit and beauty
what no man could have &C
complished at the time, the
purchase of a large section Of
the Place d'Armes and its sur
rounding property. And having
acquired it, she proposed to the
municipal government that a
public park should be made of
it, with a great monument to
Jackson in the center,
The place was called Jackson
Square and the houses erected

LITERARY POTATOES
By Robert BenchIey

cleaners do to potatoes, they are
cut up into small pieces and
fried, with just a touch of onion
to each potato and a liberal
sprinkling of salt. This is for
the he-man books. For the more
delicate literary compositions,
small boiled potatoes are used,
with parsley butter.
They are then ground up into
a mash and put through the
"beaters," which are presided
over by graduates of the Pulit-
ger School of Journalism, who
keep an eye out for prize ma

Any pulp which looks as If it

In the drying room the potato

The lover of pictures frequently has doubts before he
sees film whether it is the kind that being protested
or the kind which he wishes to see
There such doubt when the film is of such story
as Robert Louis Stevensons classic tale of treasure

It is story which everyone, almost has read and
which should have tremendous appeal when filmed with
