Even the pontifical State De

over passports, could think of
nothing official to say. Privately
several department attaches grin,

Ngan could probably manage
without one.
AS for Mulligan, an Irishman
who traces his ancestry back to
the Celtic kings, all he at first
could say was:
well, it's great day for the
Irish and we won't spoil their
fun"
Later, after a quick conference
with Assistant Secretary of Com
merce j. Monroe Johnson, Multi
gan observed that the unautllor-
ized flight was "a great thing"
At this point the Irish legation
put its oar in and declared it would
do everything possible to straighten
out any diplomatic difficulties
that Corrigan's little sojourn over
the vast Atlantic might have
caused.
AS for Corrigan's claim that he
thought he was flying to Cali

official Washington could be
summed up in one word:

was, that the old camp meetings were
held here before there was any church
BUT the church was organized at the
first Methodist Conference in Amer
lea, which was held at the old Green
Hill house near Louisburg. The first
building was of logs and situated on
the land which is now owned by Mrs
J. B. Allen. Later the log house was
discarded and one was built of plank,
the first of its kind throughout the
country, hence it's name, Plank
Chapel. (The land for this building
was given by old father Young, a
local preacher, who preached at the
church on Christmas day for fifty
two years in succession. The present
building is the second one built of
plank and is located on the same
site) The seven Sunday school rooms
were added in 1925, during the pas
torate of Rev. J. c. Williams. There
have been sixty-six preachers serving
the church, and the membership has
steadily grown until at present there
are about three hundred on ROLL The
Sunday school was organized almost
at the beginning of the church, with
a long list of faithful superintendent
holding office, the first of these be
ing DR.. William Clark, and another
more recent one was j. Bayard Allen
who served for more than thirty
years. Membership in the Church

EARTHQUAKE HAS
 SHAKEN UP JAPAN

Tokyo, May 23-CUP)-Telephone service to 30 central and northern cities was disrupted today by an earthquake which shook central Japan and jared plaster from some Tokyo buildings. The earthquake was recorded as starting at 4:l9 D.. m. (3:19 a. m. EDTD with it's cen ter near Asama where there have been frequent volcanic eroptions re- gently. Seismographic instruments vibrated for 28 minutes here.
 (An earthquake of medium inten- sity rocked Manila, in the Philip pine Islands, for more than one minute starting at 4:25 p. m. (4:25 a. m. EDT0
 The quake smashed windows and disrupted power lines of CaruizaWa and other towns near Asama. Ut- sumomiya was vigorously shaken and there was some property dam age there.
 Residents of Tokyo were alarmed by the strength of the shocks, though little damage was reported.

censured by the Young Republicans at their last meeting for failure to heed majority plans, and the alder men, with various factions represent ed at each meeting, were held throughout this morning.
 Republicans gathered on street corners and held factional "cau- cuses" along Grand and Bank streets, along Leavenworth and Gen. ter streets. But the stir in the air remained in the air so far as any definite plan for tonight's attempt to shape up" the city government was concerned.

 Names were bandied:

 Alderman Tom Bane was absent from his duties in the office of Con- troller Sherwood L. Rowland while he attended one caucus and another, acting in partnership with John J. Bergin, Rowland associate and cam paign manager.
 Meanwhile, there was no particu- lar excitement in Democratic ranks. The Democrats hold seven places on the board to the eight places held by Republicans, counting President Peryiello. Unless there were defec- ton of two Democrats who would

 Not Given Credence
 Possibility of such a change oi heart was not given credence. Ever the most sanguine Republicans could not predict that their plan to take advantage of the grand jury pro- cedure before the court findings on the matter of the mayor would meet with success.
 At best, they believed it would become another gesture, such as the ones they have publicized through out the first months of the year when their majority of one vote failed to effect the many purposes attempted.
 Mayor Hays Unconcerned
 Meanwhile, during this political manipulation of views and plans, Mayor Hayes, the object of all the Republican-devised activity, attend ed a special meeting of the park commission and made no comment on the proposals aired by his enemies. He discussed with the park commissioners the various improve ments made this year on city parks and heard praise of the board for the projects on which WPA labor has been employed, the wish of the commissioners that even more such labor might be put to work on the citys playgrounds and recreation centerS.
 Doubtless large gathering will plan attendance at tonight's meet ing of the aldermen and, indubit- ably, action will be expected by the Republican bloc, it was reliably re- ported.
