MetI1Odists Will
Celebrate Entry
in Mission Field

Officials of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, South, have announced
that nearly 100000 persons will pull
up chairs to banquet tables next
Friday night in towns and cities
from Maryland to California.
The gatherings are planned in
celebration of the 89th anniversary
to Methodism's entry into the for
eogn mission field and the climax
of an initial period in the Southern
Methodist bishops crusade.
On April %, 1848, Charles Taylor
and Benjamin Jenkins sailed for
China to begin their church's for
eign mission service.
Those two hearty men worked
three years before they obtained a
convert to their religious belief. To-
day there are 100000 members in II
foreign countries.
The Methodist diners will hear
this story retold by speakers and
see it depicted in pageants. Pro-
grams will reveal modern develop
ments in the missionary field.

Researchers See No
Expense Let-Down

Chairman Byrd, Democrat of Vir-
ginia, of the Senate committee on
governmental reorganization said
this week that survey by the
Brookings Institution i n d i c e d
greatly increased fixed charges" on
the Federal Treasury might be ex-
pected for long time"
The research agency report show
ed that the level of Federal expen-
ditures had risen from about $1,000,-
100000 annually before the World
war to about $7,000,000,000 annually
for the last three fiscal years.
During the period from the end of
the war till the depression, Byrd
said, government spending 1eveled
off at about $3,000,000,000 year.
He said the report constituted an
introduction to an exhaustive sur
vey undertaken by Brookings as a
basis for reorganization legislation.
A Joint congressional committee
on governmental reorganization to
study President Roosevelt's proposal
fer consolidating and revamping
Federal agencies, has been created
since the Brookings analysis was in
augurated.
The Brookings survey showed
that government departments have
grown so rapidly that eight struc-
lures as large as the Empire State
building, New York, would be re-
CURED to house their Washington
5taffs alone, Byrd said. Fifty-two
similar skyscrapers would be need
ed to accommodate Federal en-
ployes working outside the capital,
he added.
During the ninteen-twenties .
the government lived within it's
means and reduced the 26 billion
dollar war debt to approximately 16
billions by $780," the senator as
serted in a statement.
"Since that date the debt has been
doubled, and Federal expenditures
in each year have exceeded reve-
nues approximately 100 per cent.
Byrd said the Brookings report
revealed that pay rolls made up the
largest item of administrative cost,
amounting to $1,5OO,OOO,00 year
exclusive of relief, military, and
pension expenses. It showed "a

persons each on September 80, 1886

G. Man Dies in
Kansas Following
Gangster Fight
Federal Officials Get Desperate
Men After They Escape
From One Trap

The bullets of two New York
gunner he sought to trap claimed
the life of young Federal agent
just as his fellow Omen were
clamping an $11, 900 web of evidence
about the spectacular gangsters in
Topeka, Kan, this week.
w. w. Baker, q, agent, died in &
hospital of four bullet wounds he
suffered in his first major assign
ment. An emergency operation and
at least two blood transfusions were
/ futile.
In Kansas City, near by, Federal
agents held Alfred Power and Rob
ert Suhay, gansters accused of an
$4,000 Katonah, N. Y, bank rob-
berry, to face what United States At
torney S. S. Alexander said would
be a prompt indictment for murder.
The prosecutor indicated the indict-
ment would be sought before June
grand jury although there was a
possibility of special grand jury
being called earlier. Alexander said
the death penalty would be de-
manded.
The two gangsters blasted their
way out of trap Friday in Tope-
ka's downtown post office. AS Baker
was cut down by bullets, the return
fire of his fellow agents wounded
Suhay in the left wrist.
Confess Shooting
Homer Sylvester, S foot finch Ne
braska sheriff, and his deputy seized
the gangsters without shot Friday
night after the New Workers lost
their way through the streets of
Plattsmouth, Neb., a little town Of
$500.
J. Edgar Hoover, director of the
F.B.I., said in Washington that the
gunner had admitted the Topeka
shooting. AS Hoover explained it,
Suhay approached Baker from the
rear after Baker had surprised Pow
er, and both Power and Suhay then
began shooting and running from
the Topeka post office. Agent w. E.
Farland and third Oman had laid
the trap with Baker
Sheriff Sylvester recovered $4,000
from the clothing of the gangsters,
and later $6,954 was found where it
had been hidden.

Security Plans May

Consolidation of Institutions of
Smaller Counties Urged by
North Carolina Official

R. Eugene Brown, state director
of institutions and corrections, re-
ports that some of the smaller coun-
ty homes in North Carolina might be
closed as soon as the social security
old-age program begins to operate
effectively.
Under the social security bill
passed by the 1897 legislature, in
mates of county homes are eligible
for old-age benefits if they are dis
charged from the institutions.
The time, Brown said, many OF
the homes, now caring for over 5000
inmates, may be closed, and before
that time, he added, the trend may
be toward consolidation of the instl-

London Crowds
See Rehearsal
of COrOnatiOn

In spite of it being a cold, bleak,
sunless Sunday morning scores of
thousands of Londoners lined the
streets early to witness rehearsal
OF the procession in which King
George vi and Queen Elizabeth will
proceed to their coronation May H..
The court and police authorities
who will be responsible for this fea-
ture OF the festivities obtained a
vague idea of the crowds they will
have to control on the real Corona
ton day.
Beginning at $50 a. m. and care
fully timed all the way, the process
sion, including the gilded coach of
state, perambulated slowly over the
coronation route, to enable officials
to determine exactly how long the
real thing will take.
Londoners, who love pageant,
seized the only opportunity most of
them will get to see what the coro-
nation spectacle will be like, left
their beds early to gaze on the show,
in spite of the absence of the King,
Queen, and other notables and many
of the trappings of the great day.
They packed Trafalgar Square,
stood Is deep in Picadilly Circus,
and 10 deep most of the rest of the
route. They heard the bands, saw
the famous gilded coach in which
the King and Queen will ride, and
cheered the colorful military escort.

Christmas Mass
 Be Held At St.
 Joseph's Church
(By The Associated Press)

Midnight Mass will be celebrat- ed this year on Christmas Eve. Though this privilege has been rescinded in most parts of the United States, Nome has enjoyed it for many years. In days gone by, when the population of Nome was larger, admission to the Catholic Church on Christmas Eve was by ticket. During the past few years the general pub lie has been invited.
 This year we extend a very cordial invitation to all, said Father John Concannon. The beautiful Missa De Angelis Mass of the Angels, will be sung by an augmented Choir. This Mass, a Grsgorian chant, was composed by Henry Dupont, the disting- uished music master, said the Catholic Father.
 It vii lbe sung in unison and in harmony. We feel that we shall have the finest Choir, St. Joseph's Church has had in years, and that its efforts will be appre- ciated by all,' he declared.
 The High Mass is at once dig nifed, devotional, and Divine Mozart once wrote to a friend: Had I written the music for the Prefaoa of the Mass, I should have considered I had written my epitah.'
 And Madame Schumann-Heinck who for a number of years sang the annual Military High Mass for the Marine at San Diego, re- marked: "The music of the Mass is so beautiful that l hope the good God let's me die singing the Mass"

OFFERS MANY
ATTRACTIONS

SOLOMONS, Md.-P full
and quiet with its rows of white
houses and green lawns, Solo
mons Island long ago was given
the name Pearl of the Patuxent."
1t still is that. Situated in the
heart of historic Southern Mary
land, it has all the conveniences
of modern civilization, while re-
naming untouched by its blare
and industries.
Unlike most places where city
folk come for their vacation
periods, Solomons Island has no
summer colony apart from the
rest of the town. Within half an
hour after their arrival, visitors
are made to feel at home here.
1t is less than 10 miles from
Washington by good State roads.
With the blue waters of the
Patuxent River on one side and
Chesapeake Bay on the other, it
is natural that fishing here should
be the best. A dozen different
varieties are caught throughout
the season, from hardhead and
spot to rock, blues and an occa-
Sional big black drum.
Angling is equally as convenient
for the ladies as it is for men.
The large fleet of power cruisers
here are the best on the whole
Atlantic Coast. Each boat is
equipped with the ConvenienceS of
seats, awnings, toilets, ice water,
Each one is operated by an eX-
perienced captain who knows the
water around here better than he
knows the palm of his hand. and
large fishing parties carry an
extra man as mate to look after
the anglers.
Fishing, however, is not the
only attraction. Solomons fame
as summer resort comes par
TALLY from its unexcelled South
ern cooking. Fried chicken,
oysters, fish and fresh vegetables
are given that extra touch here
that makes eating away from
home pleasure instead of some
thing to be endured.
This summer, Solomons more
than ever is an ideal place to
spend a vacation, with many
events planned to entertain visit
orS and give them an enjoyable
time. One of the most important
and colorful of these is the re-
gatta, scheduled for August % and
%. 1t will be held in the Patuxent,
and its two days of racing and
exhibitions will include all types
of boats, from the native, Chesa-
peake Bay sailing canoe to modern
speed boats and sailing yachts.
Another important affair on the
calendar is the fishing fair, Spon-
Sored by the Chesapeake Bay Fish
ing Fair Association. On Septem-
Der 10 and 10 this event will be
held off the mouth of the PatuX-
ent in the Bay, and for the angler
catching the largest of each of the
numerous Bay species of fish, silver
loving cups and other prizes will
be offered.
Later on this season, exact date
to be decided later, the boatmen
here are going to have a free
day" for visiting anglers. Every
one of the more than a hundred
boats here will be sent out free
with anglers. All they have to do
is ring their own bait, the rest
will be furnished. More about this
will be announced later. From ad-
vance reports from the committee
in charge. this is going to be one
of the happiest occasions for fish
ermen and their friends ever ex-
perienced on the whole of Chesa-
peake Bay.
