ICKES AWAITS
NEXT MOVE
BY MOSES
New York Official Sits Tight
In Two Posts; Secretary
Also Adamant
By E. 2. JONES

Roosevelt followers" who con.
sistently and freely boast Of their
ability to foresee forthcoming
moves Of the New Deal and its
dealers, are remaining strangely
silent on the matter of Harold I.
Ickes VS.. Robert Moses.
The irresistible Mr.. Ickes and
Che immovable Mr.. Moses collided
many weeks ago with no tangible
result to answer that time old
question about the meeting Of
two such forces.
That Makes Two
Since Secretary IckeS issued his
now famous Order No. 129, giving
Mr.. Moses the choice of resigning
as chairman of the New York Tri-
borough Bridge Authority. which
has $4,000, 900 of PWA money to
spend, or from his post as New
York park commissioner, the only
response from the popular New
York official has been:
"T'm going to sit tight"
Says Mr.. IckeS:
"Well, that makes two Of u.s."
That the administrator Of the
New Deals PWA program holds
the upper hand in the feud is
granted in that he can withhold
future "installments" on the loan.
This, he says, he will do if his
order is not observed. To date
the authority has received $6, AGO.
600 from Mr.. IckeS.
President for Ickes
Complicating the efforts Of the
"seers" to predict an outcome is
the undenied, but not admitted,
rumor that the order Of Secretary
1ckes was wish of the President,
who sought to balance" his
political ledger.
Only last November Mr.. Moses
opposed Gov Herbert H. Lehman,
Roosevelt's protege, in the race
for New York's governorship.
During that campaign he made
many critical remarks about the
New Deal and the Roosevelt can
didate. He also sided with Alfred
E. Smith in the latter's feud with
Mr.. Roosevelt in prenomination
days.
On the side of Mr.. Moses Is the
apparent mandate of New York's
populace that he remain to handle
the gigantic bridge project, which
he succeeded in raising from a
8tangnant mire of political plat
form talk to reality.

Easy DiUorce Brings
Slipshod Morals

To the Editor of The Times:
So "An Interested One" thinks
divorces are too hard to obtain
in the District and wants them
made easier!
Well, I should like to see the
laws made more stringent, not
only here but all over the coun-
try.
Divorce is doing more harm
than the late unlamented pro-
hibition law. Easy divorce is
wrecking the home life of the
nation. And believe me, I
know. I am victim of it.
Children growing up without
the proper care of parents. Slip
shod morals. Those are the
chief results of easy divorce.
Marriage is a serious business,
and too many persons enter into
it lightly. knowing that there
are the divorce courts, ready to
grant a decree on the most triv-
ial evidence.
This is too much like Russia
where the marriage laws have
been set aside and divorce given
to anyone.
If husbands and wives would
try to understand each other
there would be no need for di-
vorce.
Let us tighten up the laws
rather than loosen hem.

Agreed to Trap Di|Iinger

Meyer Bogue, so, one of seven
men arrested in Chicago as suspects
in a nationwide jewel robbery ring
once served as a stool pigeon for
state investigators in connection
with the John Dillinger hunt.
When Dillinger was captured at
Tucson, Ariz., and returned to Lake
County for trial on murder charges
Bogue was introduced at Crown
Point as a Chicago automobile tire
dealer who could verify the gang
Ster's alibi he was in Florida when
Patrick OMalley. East Chicago po-
liceman, was slain.
When Dillinger made his famous
wooden gun" escape from the Crown
Point Jail, Bogue contacted j. Ed
ward BARGE, deputy attorney general
and special investigator on the case
with an offer to serve as stool
pigeon"
Information obtained from Bogue
led Mr.. BARGE to "kidnap" seven
Crown Point residents, who were
held two days in hotels at Monticello
and indianapolis before they were
released.
Shortly after the mysterious hotel
episode, Mr. BARGE claimed Dillinge1
paid amounts ranging from $500 tc
$4,000 for aid in the Crown Point
escape but no arrests were made.

POISON KILLED GIRL,
DOCTOR TELLS JURY
Deputy Coroner Heard in
Stepmother's Trial.
By Lnitcd Press

bU I HtIfd IFtSS
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Dec. 12.-
More than enough poison was found
in the body OF Bernadene Doermen
13-year stepdaughter of Mrs
Laura Doermen, on trial for the
child's murder, to cause death, Dep
uty Coroner Walter Kruse testified
TO-DAY.
DR. Kruse, who performed an au-
topsy after the girls death last
April, said several organs of the
body were enlarged by the arsenic
poisoning.
Paul H. Adams, Fort Wayne
Medical Laboratory chemist, testi-
fed that he found large quantities
of arsenic in the body.
Detective Sergeant Walter Cavan-
augh testified that he found a small
packet containing arsenic in the
garage at Mrs. Doermer'S home.
The poison, he said, was on a raf-
ter of the garage and apparently had
been there only a snort time because
removal of the packet left no mark
in accumulated dust.
Bernadene and Imogene, her To-
year-old sister, became violently i'll
after eating cottage cheese during
meal at their home last spring
Bernadene died 10 days later.
The state charges Mrs. Doermer
mixed arsenic with the cottage
cheese. The stepmother's defense
is based on the fact, admitted by
the state, that she was not at home
when the meal was prepared.
Imogene told jury of 10 men
and two women yesterday that
when she was permitted to go to
the hospital to see her sister, Mrs
Doermer cautioned her. Il don't
want you to say anything about ar
Senic."

GENEVA, Dec. 12.-The small
powers, angered by the concessions
made to Premier Benito Mussolini
in the F'ranco-British peace pro-
posals, won a tactical victory today
as soon as the Leagues penalties
committee of 18 assembled.
In the first skirmish against the
Franco-British plan, the small
powers succeeded in forcing an
agreement for full debate on it
when the council convenes next
Tueday.
Opposition of Turkey and Poland
obliged France and Britain to aban-
don their plan to submit the peace
proposal to the councils committee
of five, where with the support of
Spain, they would have a majority.
The committee of five is composed
Of France, Britain, Spain, Poland
and Turkey.
Proposes Embargo Delay
Under those circumstances the
committee of five could continue
negotiations with Premier Benito
Mussolini and the emperor of Eth
opia as it wished.
Consequently, it becomes necessary
to submit the plan directly to the
council, where Turkey, Rumania
and other small powers, possibly
with Russia's support, may continue
to battle against it.
Tytus Komarnicki of Poland pro-
posed that action on the oil en-
barge be delayed pending debate by
the council.
Premier Pierre Laval of France
and Capt. Anthony Eden of Great
Britain, reaffirming their loyalty to
the League, agreed that the council
should examine the Franco British
proposals as soon as possible after it
meets.

5000, 900 ARE AFFECTED
General Conventions Must
Ratify Detailed Plans
for National Union.
By I HitSd Press

WASHINGTON, Dec. II. =
Union of the three major
Methodist denominations into
a church with a combined
membership of more than
100000 comm unicants
seemed assured today with
announcement of detailed
plans for the merger.
Only approval by the general con-
ferences of the three denominations
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South. and the Methodist Protestant
Church-was needed to bring the
three together under the simplifled
name of the Methodist Church.
General conferences of the Meth
odiSt Episcopal and Methodist Prot
eStant denominations will act on the
merger plan in May, 1896. The
Southern group will consider the
union in May, 1888 The plans al
ready have been unanimously APP
proved by the commissioners of the
three churches.
The program provides for ad-
lniniStration of the merged church
through a general conference meet
ing every four years, and through
six jurisdictional conferences operat-
ing in geographical subdivisions.
No Problems Remain
In the early part of the nine
teenth century Methodism was q
unified body in the United States.
Later it split up into nineteen de-
nominational groups First to leave
the parent church was the Metho-
dist Protestant denomination. which
separated in 1880 over the ques-'
ton of the right of lay membership
to participate in governing the
church.
The Methodist Episcopal Ch;'-"h,
South, separated from the parent
body primarily over the question of
slavery.
In recent years questions of lay
representation and slavery have
been solved, leaving no reason for
continued separation.
The Methodist Episcopal Church
now has 4.296,288 members; the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
2,725,954, and the Methodist Prot
estant Church 1871 ,595 These are
the three major Methodist de-
nominations, and the united church
will embrace one-half of all COM
municant Methodists of the world.

ALL NATIONS AGREED
Anglo American Accord at
Conference ImpresSes
DeIeuateS.
BY HENRY L. RUSSELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Dec. II. = Six
delegations, led by Great
Britain and the United States,
rejected Japan's demand for
naval equality today.
1t was learned from the
United States delegation after
the conference adjourned
until tomorrow that Norman
H. Davis, head of the delega-
ton, had presented three
arguments against Japan's
claim.
These were intended to show thai
the Japanese plan for bringing the
navies of the three strongest nava
powers to the same level-as out
lined yesterday by Admiral Osam
Nagano, head of the Japanese dele
gation-was both unavoidable anc
unacceptable.
In the first place, the United
States ambassador at-large contend
ed. it would result in an increase
rather than a decrease in nava
building.
England Sides With U. S.
Secondly, Davis insisted, it was
learned, that the Japanese project
would upset Washington and Lon
don treaty arrangements which he
said had created an equilibrium
based upon the respective naval
needs of the signatories He suggested
that there had been no change in
the international situation of g
nature to warrant revision Of this
equilibrium.
The third point Davis made was
that the japanese plan failed to
take account of the varying naval
requirements among the powers.
Those who rejected Japan's claim
to naval equality, in addition tc
Davis, were Viscount Monsell, head
of the British delegation: Andre
Charles Corbin. of France, anc
spokesman for the Italian, South
African, Australian and Canadian
delegations.
Lord Monsell spoke at length
both at the opening and the close
of today's meeting, going into great
detail in eXpounding Britains rea-
sons for opposing the japanese
claim
Delegates were impressed by the
unity and solidarity of Anglo
American resistance to Japans de-
mands.

Anti Saloon League Ready
to Open Court Fight,
Miles Says.
OLD DEEDS ARE CITED
Injunctions Against Nine
Business Places tc Be

The indianapolis unit of the
Anti-Saloon League has decided tC
ask the courts to prohibit the sale
of Intoxicating liquors in Irvington
and the Ritter Addition, its attor-
ney, E. A. Miles, announced today
Petitions for injunctions against
the individual places--nine in all
are to be filed late this week OF
early next, Mr.. Miles said.
The decision came when the AL
coholic Beverage Commission yes
terday granted a beer and wine
license to Philip Sorentino, 5527 E
Westinghouse. The league had
waged a bitter fight against grant
ing the license before the Marion
County Board.
Liquor Banned in Deed
The league, Mr.. Miles said, will
base its request for injunctions thai

deeds through which the lands were
conveyed to their present owners.
The deeds, he said, Stipulate that
no liquor be sold on the premises
The deeds were made by Sylvester
Johnson and Jacob B. Julian.
Old Irvington, he said, is bound
ed by the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks on the south, Michigan-st
on the north, Ritter-av on the west
and Arlington-av on the east.
Ritter addition Is bounded on the
east by Ritter-av and the west by
HaWthorne-lane.
Churches Join Fight
Mr.. Miles said that an action will
be brought also contrasting the le-
gality of the beer and wine license
just issued Mr.. Sorentino on the
grounds that the board last July
refused to grant license and that
to do so now is a violation of the
law.
Mr.. Miles says the law does moi
allow the board to SO reconsider be-
fore IL months have elapsed from
the first refusal. However, the At.
torney General is reported to have
given the board an oral opinion
that it is within the law in the
case.
The league is backed in its fight
against Sorentino by church groups
in Irvington. Included in those
against whom injunctions will be
sought are branches of the Haae
Drug Co.. the Great Atlantic ano
Pacific Tea Co. and the Krogel
Grocery and Baking Co.
