did from all parties concerned.
"The charges which have
been made against me mark
the climax of q very bitter
antagOniSm toward me on the
part of the office of the Comp
trOler which had its inception
at the time of the OrganiZa-
ton of the association.
my chief regret in this
whole matter is the fact that
in an effort to Overwhelm me,
the innocent depOsitOrS are
temporarily suffering the loss
Of the use of their money,
although have not the slight

association are sufficient to pay
off every dollar of their invest
ment."
Advanced Money
Pointing out that he had per
sonally advanced money to meet
the emergency situation that led
to the closing Of the institution
by Government order, Rhodes
said:
"In February, 1886, the COmpt-
roller insisted that / retire from
active connection with the aSsO-
citation, which did. / was not
present at any meetings of the
association after that, but I am
informed that the dividend de-
clared as of July l was made
with the full knowledge and ap-
prOval of the COmptrOller'S Of
flee.
"Yet it was claimed that this
dividend created the condition
of insolvency which was the
basis Of the Comptroller action
in closing the institution.
"When the threatened closing
of the institution was brought
to my attention, / personally
advanced securities and prop
erty appraised at $4,000, think
ing that this sum might relieve
the emergency. The aSSocia-
tiOn and its receivers still have
this property, and monies ] ad-
vanced towards expenses have
never been returned"

 PARLEYS SUNDAY
Altar Control of Worship Says Speaker Today
 at East NOrthfield

East NorthAeld, Mass, Aug. 5.- The first British speaker on the program of the Northfleld General Conference for Christian Workers addressed the audience today, when Rev. E. N. Porter-Goff, vicar Of Immanuel church, Streatham, Lon- don, spoke on the turning of the tide of agnosticism on the part Of the postwar generation of British writers to Q realization of the spirit ual values such as are found in the religion of Jesus Christ.
 "Agnosticism," said MT. Porter Goff, "offers not merely irreverence but also gloom. A gloomy merg- ing into everything is the best an- swer that agnosticism can offer. Referring to worship, the speaker declared that 1t needs recapture. It Is not the pulpit, but the altar that Is central in the Christian worship.
 Dr. Edwin Lewis of Drew Semin- ary, in his talk to 200 ministers to- day said that 6 preacher can never successfully preach some- thing that he himself does not sin- cerely believe. The great weakness of the Christian church today IS that Christians have been cowed into futility by the arrogance of secular minds and have thus lost the certitude of the faith that has made the church endure to this day. Belief is fundamental to doing the will of God"
 Tho conference is drawing to one of its climaxes next Sunday, when pr. Frederick Norwood, minister of City Temple, London addresses serv at Il and 8. pr. John Me- Dowel,l New York city, chairman of the executive committee of the D. L. Moody centenary movement, Feb. s, l937-August IS, 1887, will speak on Round Top on the subject, ID. L.

ChiCubs Battle
Cards for Lead

That old and widely-revered
baseball institution, crucial
series, bobbed up in the pennant
races today for the first time this
season, as the weakened but still
tough st. Louis Cardinals met the
champion Cubs at Chicago with
National League leadership at
stake.
If it seems to be too early in the
season to stamp a series as crucial,
look at it from the Cards stand
point. The race is approximately
two-thirdS over. The Cards are
two percentage points back of the
Cubs, and they virtually must
bank on one-man pitching staff
composed of Dizzy Dean to get
an even break in the four games
and stay in the flag hunt.
The Giants will take on the BoS-
ton Bees and might profit to such
extent by whatever happens at
Chicago that they will be figured
strong pennant contenders by the
weekend. The Giants are only
51a games behind the Cards.
The American League campaign
has ceased to be a race, with the
Yankees running away from the
field, but there seems to be a rule
which stipulates that~a club must
play out its schedule and. with
that in mind, the Yanks opened
today at Boston against the Red
SoX.
Even while they idle the Yanks
advance. In the only game played
in the majors yesterday, School
boy Rowe won his thirteenth vic
tory, "a, for the Detroit Tigers
over the second-place Cleveland
Indians, and the Yanks' margin
was increased to 10 full games.

Oscar Melino is known through
out the American League circuit as
a diligent spinach eater. Believe it
or not this helped him stay in the
big leagues in 1928 after a kidney
ailment almost forced him out Of
the picture in 1927.
Melillo broke into the big show
in 1926 with the st. Louis Browns
after having played at Winnipeg
in 1920 and 1921 and Milwaukee
from 1922 to 1925.
He broke a new league record
in 1880 by handling 572 assists in
148 games. In 1884 he was pur-
chased from the Browns by the
Boston Red Sox in one of those
many deals conducted by owner
Tom Yawkey.
