WOMAN IS OVERCOME BY GAS IN HER ROOM Mrs. Sarah Davis, 90, in Critical Condition at Gallinger Hospital. Mrs. Sarah Davis, ninety, was found in her room, on the third floor of 709 D street, about 8:30 o'clock today suffering from illuminating gas poisoning. She was unconscious and in an extremely critical condition when found and taken to Gallinger Hospital. A Davis resided with Mrs, Mary Spri e, ant relative. Because of her feeble condition, it is stated, matches were kept beyond her reach, it being feared she might accidentally cause trouble should she attempt to light the gas. " Last night the light in her room was_extinguished after she had re- tired, and this morning Lee Sprinkle went to her_room and found her un- consclous. It is thought the elderly woman had made an effort to light the gas during the night and acei- dentally left the key of the fixture open. The door leading to her room was partly open, police were told, and a window also was slightly’ open, which probably was a means” of pre- venting her death before the young man found h that have been presented about the negro bishops by declaring that it is not fair or upright to tell the negro bishops that they are bishops of the “whole church” and confine them to negro work. They would have the same rights and authority as that of any other bishop in the church, he said. He said prejudice exists in the racial distinctions, and uwification of the two churches is sure to bring distress over the negro question. “We are not one in spirit,” he point- od out, referring to the two branches, |;and we have grown farther and far- ther apart since separa®ton.’ —_— ‘You C IFyou would /ive ou do your work J TAMPA BAPTISTS CONDEMN WAR IN CONVENTION Adopt Resolution Decrying Vio- lence as Means of Settling International Disputes. By the Associated Press, MILWAUKEE, Wis., June 2.—War as a method of settling international dispuies was. condemned in a resolu- tion adopted by the Northern Baptist Convention today. President Corwin S. Shank of the Northern Baptist Convention last night announced the names of seven members of the investigation com- mittee who will, during the present year, investigate charges that the board of managers of the American Baptist Forelgn Mission Soclety have sent and are now sending mission- aries of liberal belief into the mis- sion flelds. The great wave of pacifism that for two days has swept the conven- tion reached its climax yesterday, when clergy-delegates decried war in city pulpit and from the convention rostrum in the strongest utterances yet advanced here. . . “War is irrational: war is futile; war is inhuman,” declared Dr. C. Wallace Petty, Pittsburgh. “An in- stitution _that is irrational,” futile and inhuman is criminal. Any nation therefore that resorts to war for any purpose, but the defense of its altars and heartstones form an _aggressive enemy and is a crimnal nation and should be so branded and treated in the family of nations. * ¢ * “In making the world safe for Democracy, we established dictator- ship in Ttaly ain and Turkey. The war allayed no hatred, changed no opinions. It heat down an enemy who had to be conquered if the world was to remain free.
