JHOLY ROLLER HEAD IS FREED ON BOND Friends of Imprisoned “Par- son”.Take Steps to Appeal His Case. WINCHESTER, Va., February 16 (Special).—*“Rev.” Luther McFarland, rmer-preacher of the “Holy Roller” faith, who last Saturday was given an indeterminate jail sentence for refus- ing to comply with a court order re- quiring him to eend his children:to school because, he said, the Lord had | |commanded him to keep them “un- spotted from the world,” has been re- leased on bond pending hearing of an appeal to the -circuit court. The action was taken by friends of McFarland. | | He said he was willing to endure any punishment for the Gospel's sake. Arrangements were being made to take McFarland to the state convict road force near here when the order | 604 9th, Bet.

McFarland indicated he will do nothing more than hold fast to his faith, come what may. He declared he would not be guided by man-made laws, but took his advice entirely from the Lord.

He claimed, in effect, that he operates a private school for his children at home, and that the state compulsory education law explicitly relieves from the operation of the law parents who send their children to private school.

Instances were cited of parents of wealthy children employing a gov- erness to te: one or two children fl|in a home, whereas McFarland il | claimed he was “instructing” eight of his eleven children at home. He asserted, modestly, that they were further advanced in their studies than most pupils attending the neighbor- hood school. Considerable sympathy has been ex- pressed for McFarland that his atti- tude in religious matters had swayed his judgment to the point of law deflance and an apparent willingness to undergo indefinite punishment for his religious opinions. His followers hooted at the idea of having a lunacy. commission appointed for him. Others professed to believe that McFarland hoped by belng required to work on the state roads to pose as a martyr. However, there was no resentment shown in his demeanor, but rather a #pirit of forgiveness to the officers of the law and a pity for those ‘c’l;:md with carrying out its man- es. L U. S. LEAGUE ATTITUDE WATCHED BY CANADA Minister of Interior Advocates “Eye for Eye, Tooth for Tooth” in Tarift Legislation. OTTAWA, February 17—Canada is deeply interested in_ the policy of the United States with regard to the league of nations and is watching eagerly for the attitude the new ad- ministration at Washington will as- sume, Sir James Lougheed, minister of interior, said yesterday in the course of the debate in the senate on the speech from the throne. In tariff matters between the ‘Dominion and the United States the minister advocated the policy of “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” This plan, he declared, would cor- rect the trade balance between the two countries and prevent discrim~ inatory legislation at Washi: Glemby Hair Nets, 10F e teeecme that | | Ject o couraged the United States to emact j | hostile legislation in the hope of se- il | curing our markets.” Il | Senator Hewitt Bostock of British Columbia said he regretted “the spectacle of an apparent rivalry in armaments between the United States ;n.fl"gr:ld.t l;):l'-l.ll\."

LITERACY TEST BARS GROOM FROM ENTERING AMERICA WITH BRIDE American citisenship meansnoth- ing in the young life of Maria Kovac, Czechoslovak bride now at Ellis Island, unless she can enjoy it with "‘Albert Kovac, the sturdy bridegroom, who is being held by the immigration authorities be- cause he cannot pass the literacy test for admission to this country. The Kovac couple arrived at Ellis Island several days ago and the young woman passed the test with ease, but the husband could not meet the requirements. The wife ‘was told that she could proceed without him, but this she refused to do. In instances where the hus- band can pass the literacy test and the wife cannot she may be admit- ted anyway, but the reverse is not true. ‘To solve the trouble the bride’'s father, who lives in Trenton, N. J., has offered the couple a home and work, and the question of waiving the regulations in this case is now being considered by Assistant Sec- Tetary of Labor Post. THIRTY THOUSAND DIE WHILE WAITING FOOD Chinese Gather in Bare Field Out- side Tientsin Patiently Ex- pecting Relief. NEW YORK, February 17.—Thirty thousand Chinese gathered on a great bare field outside Tientsin, China. walited patiently for food which never arrived and then slowly died there, E. S. Glines, American engineer, re- ported upon his arrival here, after passing six months in the famine- stricken areas of North China. The condition of the starving hordes was pitiful, Mr. Glines said. The crowd at Tientsin had gathered be- cause they believed food would reach them there more quickly than in the country. Along a roadside near the field he told of seeing the bodies of a ‘whole family—father, mother and five children—each a few yards apart, ‘where they had dropped and died. “The crop failures have been almost complete in the five great provinces that make up the northern part of China proper—Chihli, Shantung, Shan. i, Shensi and Honan,” said Mr. Glines. 'his is the part of the country around Peking, south of Mongolia and Manchuria. “There is no question that more than 10,000,000 Chinese will starve to death this winter and spring unless food is rushed to them,” he declared. The population of 45,000,000 in the famine districts is in such dire straits that Great irrigation projects, control of flood-producing streams and improve- ment_of transportation were cited by Mr. Glines as the only salvation of the, agricultural and economic life of China. “|Committes Representing STRIKE AGAINST UNFAIR PRICES AT HOTELS URGED | six unarea Com- . mercial Travelers Sends Out 600,000 Appeals. OMAHA, Neb., February 17.—Let- ters have been sent to 600,000 com- mercial travelers urging them to-in- stitute a thirty-day strike against hotels that charge what are termed exorbitant prices for room and food. “Jesse James was a piker in his palmiest Jays when compared with the prices some hotels are asking,” says the letter. The letters have been sent out by the hotel committee of the Interna- tional Federation of Commercial Travelers' Organization, and' sy, in part: “Traveling men all over the coun- try have reached the conclusion that the - prices charged by hotels for rooms and meals have reached the peak. The traveling fraternity has the same weapon with which to wage warfare upon the hotel proprietors and hotel corporations that the gen- eral public uses in refusing to pur- chase wearing apparel and shoes at prices which they thought unreason- able and out of proportion. There- fore the hotel committee of the In- ternational Federation of Commercial Travelers' Organizations urges the recipient of this letter to refuse to patronize such hotels as are charg- ing or asking exorbitant prices for rooms and food. This letter is being sent to six hundred thousand travel- ‘must Jo his part, for only in unison is there stre and gfly by u:& a can it be expected to ge “A. thirty-day ‘strike’ along the line herein suggested will cause the hotels to soon offer more favorable terms “|up to_a hotel register and you are told the ce of a room, if you be- lieve it is exorbitant, after tAk::s into consideration the service offe! and the investment of the hotel, do not hesitate to say so and walk out. This must also be done in restaurants. “Traveling men from different parts of the country have sent the hotel committee copies of menu cards of leading hotels, and by scanning the prices published thereon, it makes one think that Jesse James was & piker in his palmiest days when com- pared with the prices some hotels are asking for accommodations. You cannot bring down these prices by submitting to them and then go out and kick. Your complaint must be made to the hotel proprietor, and he must be given to understand that you and the members of your craft intend to refuse to pay them.” —_— BAD MONEY GANG CAUGHT.
