Schuldt on a charge of taking a letter valued at 1 cent, but which the owners of the letter claimed to be invaluable. The case was dis- missed.

With deportation of - the alien already recommended, Abner Siegal, attorney for Said Zerdecheno, self- styled Emir of Kurdestan, was yester- day given until next Tuesday to file a brief with the' Labor Department in the case.

The Government has moved to get back _another parcel of oil land, leased under former Secretary of the Interior Fall. Suit was filed in Los Angeles Fed- eral Court against the Beiridge Oil Company for return of 142 acres al- leged by the Government to be part of Naval Oil Reserve No. 1, in Cali- fornia, and adjoining the leasehold- ings involved in the Government's sult against Edward L.

REAL ESTATE. CHINESE TURN ATHEISTS. Missionary Says Young Men Leav- ing Old Faiths. Young men in China, turning against traditional religion and Christianity, are becoming avowed atheists, according to Prof. Denton E. Rebok, president of $he Shanghai Missionary College, who is at Takoma Park today after seven years in China. “The studenis who come to Amer- ica and return to China,” he said, “are encouraging the young people there to give up their traditions, but are not helping them to find a religion that wjll benefit them, 15 quently Christianity is not -making very rapid progress among the Mon- golian people.” Prof. Rebok says there is a strong anti-Christian movement in China to- day making rapid progress and that it is being fostered by government stu- dents in the colleges there. Prof. Rebok will spend the greater part of his furlough with his mother, Mrs. W. Rebok, at Mount Fony Springs, near Harrisburg, Pa.

Yet England, the speaker hesitated to take the decisive step. There w. neral fear in the pub- lic mind i Europe that there was likely to be a new rise of prices in America. He contended that this doctrine must be rejected. The con- clusion must be that some rise in prices in America was possible, but by no means necessary. Prof. Ca caid it was very much against the financial interests of the United States to allow the value of gold to be seriously depressed by an internal inflation, and still more by such a violent measure as the prohi- bition of gold import. ed S STUDEBAKER Just Drive It; That's All clined to believe there will be no re- turn to gold currency at least before 1929. It is pointed out there is a new price level since the war, far more money is in circulation. and there is not enough gold bullion and reserve here to meet the require- ments of a reintroduced gold cur- rency. Attorney Donohugh for defendant stated that the arrest of Watson was a subterfuge for a civil action. Judge Schuldt was of opinion that if the owners wanted possession of the letter in dispute that a writ of re- plevin was the means to follow and not a charge in the Police Court.
