humane RELIGION
PLEADED BY PASTOR
New Jerusalem Convention Hears
Detroit Minister Urge Prac-
tical Church.

A plea that the church humanize
religion to relieve economic suffering
and human misery throughout the
world was made last night at the
l13th annual convention OF the New
Jerusalem by the Rev. William h.
Beales of Detroit.
Speaking before a large audience,
Rev. Beales declared that religion
must be made more practical to sat-
isfy the struggling men and women
of today"
He charged that in the past
churches of all denominations have
shown much greater interest In for
NAL functions than in the present.
day problems confronting individuals.
More and more We hear, on every
hand. the cry to give us a living re-
ligion, and to preach us practical SER
mons, and to give us a dynamic re-
ligion, not a static, dormant faith,
he said.
The wisest of us are bewildered by
the great economic upheaval, with its
unemployment, distress and its hum
dred and one problems which seem to
defy solution. he said.
These problems must be settled as
a matter of religion" he said. They
must be discussed from the pulpit. In
the press and on the air.
Never mind whether any OF US are
going to heaven after we die. That
matter will take care of itself all In
good time. We want heaven here and
now-in our hearts. home. business.

life" the Rev. Beales declared.

.HEAR|NGSPLANNED
.0N GAMBLING BILL
Pa|misano Anxious to Learn
if District Wants Laws
frightened.

Representative Palmisano, Demo-
crat, of Maryland, chairman of the
Judiciary Subcommittee of the House
District Committee. announced today
he planned to hold public hearings
strengthen the Districts gambling
laws.
The measure passed the Senate
March 20 and has since languished in
the subcommittee, because, the chair
man said, there has been no apparent
desire for its early consideration.
Palmisano. however, said he is anx-
ious to learn whether the District
really wants its gambling laws tight
ened. and hopes to get that intor-
nation through a public hearing. He
explained he had made thorough
study of the measure and believes
there are certain provisions which are
too tight" and should be modified.
The bill is aimed particularly at the
so-called numbers racket" although
it would extend into other fields and
make the possession of a gaming table
or any kind of gambling device prima
facie evidence of the use of such
paraphernalia. The possession of
numbers tickets and other similar
tokens also would constitute prima
facie evidence Of guilt.
There is little likelihood that the
House will act on the bill at the cur
rent session, even If it receives ia
vorable report from the Palmisano
subcommittee and the full District
Committee.

MOVE REPORTED

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, May l0.-Reports were
current here today that some nation
possibly England may demand
Liberals expulsion from the League of
Nations at the forthcoming session Of
the League Council.
This. however, would be the last re-
sort in the controversy between the
League and Liberian authorities over
the administration of the Negro Re-
public.
Faces Council May IA.
The Liberian question is one of the
most important facing the Council,
which convenes May H.
1t is deemed possible the League
may request the three more interested
powers-the United States. Great Brit
ain and France-to assume joint re-
sponsibility for cleaning up the situa-
ton in Liberia
The United States, according to the
version of its policy given here. will
continue to cooperate with the League.
Slavery Charged.
1t was recalled that Liberia has re-
jected the Leagues plan of assistance
and that the republic has been
charged with mistreating tribes in the
interior and also with permitting
slavery.
Hence. the expulsion move would be
under article 16 of the covenant, re-
quiring, however, a unanimous Council
vote.

KANSAS CITY, May 10.-Like q
clap OF thunder the report broke over

for his. old seat in the Senate"
It crashed down. upon a political
battlefield already muddled by a
threatened duel of power between
Missouri's present Democratic Sen
ator, Bennett Champ Clark, and
Thomas j. Pendergast, boss Of Kansas
City Democrats. With an eye to pat
ronage, both hope to name the Demo-
crat who will contest in November

United States what is happening to
them" he informed the Chicago
Herald-Examiner in an interview. Ills
reference to the "Bolsheviks at Wash
ington" was reminiscent of the Reed
who battled against Woodrow Wilson's
League of Nations proposal.
On his arrival here today from
Chicago Reed said he had not definite
ly decided whether he would seek
the Democratic nomination, but when
pressed for a definite answer, he de-
clined to reply.
Asked if there was possibility he
would be a candidate. he shrugged
his shoulders and said: .

Speech Resented.
A speech made by Sir Herbert Rob-
son. head of the London Grain Ex-
change and one of the British dele
gates, before a British luncheon club
yesterday. created a tense feeling in
todays conference session.
Following the session several OF the
delegates spoke bitterly OF Sir HERBERT
remarks.
Even Abraham Gourevitch, the
Soviet delegate, was plainly displeased
and spoke sarcastically of the unwel-
come distinction which Sir Herbert
had given him. Robson said in his
speech: The Russian delegate is the
only one who knew anything about
wheat until I joined the commission.
Robson left the session today ac-
companied only by his British COL
leagues.
Displeasure General.
Other delegates, leaving the room
later, expressed their displeasure free
ly, one pointing out that Andrew
Cairns of Canada and Lloyd Steere OF
the United States had spent years In
government grain work in Germany
Hungary and France, and had been
sent as well-known experts to all
meetings.
They described Thomas LIE Breton
head OF the Argentine delegation and
former minister of agriculture OF
Argentina, as at least as well quail
fed as Robson.

he was working ARE very charming

His Appointment.

Wayne Coy, secretary to Cover

was learned yesterday.
kilograms have been sent the
Governor by Adolph Fritz, secre-

road Trainmen's Union, urging Sc
lection of Mr.. Coy.
Mr.. Coy is the Governors Secre-

year and would receive a nice boost
in salary if he heads the state I'M
employment commission, which
carries a 5000 annual salary.
The Governor is known to feel
that Mr.. Coy is ideally fitted for
the unemployment post, but is re-
luctant to spare him from his duties
in the Governors Office.
