CHICAGO, November 28.— The name Red Grange took on unusual significance at the scene of the international livestock exposition vesterday and a dozen cowpunch- ers of Packington were cinvinced the bearer of such a name can buck through the most formidable line ever composed. Red Grange, not the foot ball star, but a red short-horned stear, named in his honor, arrived in a number of animals the University of Illinols is entering in the show. In the course of the unloading process, Red Grange plunged through the line of cow- boys and herdsmen as he charged off the unloading platform. The exact yardage he made in the run that followed was not determined, but he was found some time later pawing up the backyard of Mra Mary Burke, a mile away. Red Grange, apparently con- tent with his achievement, per- mitted himself to be led quietly back to his stall in the show building.

Letters have gofie out to all. Fed- eral district judges from Chief Jus- tice Taft carrying recommendations trom the recent judicial conference here of senior circult judges and are expected to contribute largely to the practical dispatch of business in the conduct of. the courts. In the letters, according to the As- soclated Press, the district judges are urged to adopt a rule providing that when any case might have been brought to trial, but has not within one year, the counsel and the parties to such proceedings shall be given notice of the first term of court fol- lowing Jafiuary 1 each year, 30 days in advance of its opening, and if no action is taken in such cases within that period of grace, the court shall upon opening the term enter an order of dismissal. Continuances Fought. The district courts are urged to adopt a rule which would prevent the continuance of cases to another term by agreement of counsel. Other en- gagements of counsel should not be accepted as a ground for continuance, it is held, and no continuances should be allowed except for good cause, shown by affidavits, such as sickness of a party or unavoldable absence of an important witness. It ig also syggested that the courts at frequent intervals fix times for the hearing of motions and the set- tlement 6f issues. Postponement of matters on such calls should not be permitted, the conference agreed, ex- cept for causes that would justify continuance of a case set for trial. Another suggestion, designed to pre- vent delay frequently incident to the selection of a jury, is the adoption of a rule by the district judges whereby the examination of prospective jurors would be made by them alone. Should counsel on either side desire addi- tional inquiry to determine jurors' qualifications beyond that conducted by the judge, the new rule would re- quire that he submit the questions to the judge for presentation at his dis- cretion.

EDEN A PARK AND ARK A BARGE, IN MODERN VERSION OF BIBLE Scotch Theologian Translates Scripture to Make It More Understandable to Present Generation, He Explains—Clarifies Obscure Passages. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 28.—Publi- cation of a translation of the Old Testament in modern English, in which the Garden of Eden is called a park, Noah's Ark is termed a barge and the City of David is named Davidsburg, was announced yester- day. It is the work of Dr. James Moffatt, eminent Scotch ‘theologian and Greek and Hebrew scholar, who, two years ago, translated the New Testament into modern English. Announcement of the book’s publication in this coun- try was made by the publishers, the George H. Doran Co. It will be re- leased December 1. Dr. Mofratt, who is professor of church history in the United Free Church College, Glasgow, explains in his preface that it is his bellet that the Bible cannot be properly under- stood by the present generation un- less it appears to them in the lan- guage of their every-day life, just as it was read by the generation for whom it was written. It is his be- 1lef, he explains that the Bible should be translated afresh for each succeed- ing generation. The book is declared to be the first translation of the Old Testament since the publication” of the King James Bible in 1611. The book, entitled “The Old Testa- ment, a New Translation.” is the re- sult of eight years’ unaided labor on the part of the Scotch theologian, who declares that it in no sense is a revision of any previous English translation, but is a translation of the ancient Hebrew texts. Through the use of modern English, and the sub- stitution of terms and geographical descriptions familiar to the present generation for those used in other translations of the Old Testament, Dr. Moffatt has drawn an entirely new picture in many passages where the WHEELER OPPOSES DRY ENFORCEMENT CHANGE Says Country Would Be Flooded With Liquor Under Justice Department Control. ‘Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League, is opposed to the proposal of the judicial con- ference of circuit court judges that prohibitton enforcement _be _trans- ferred from the Treasury Depsrtment to the Department of Justice. In a formal statement Mr. Wheeler de- clared it would make the situation “worse, not better.” Saying the proposal had been re- jected many times “as unwise;* Mr. Wheeler declared_control of Indus- trial and non-beverage liquor “can- not be appropriately transferred to the Justice Department” and “we would be swamped In bootleg liquor.” “To put the responsibility for all of this work in the hands of district attorneys,” he added, “would jeop- ardize enforcement in many séctions where these officers are now failing.

Moffatt's story of the cfeation follows: “Then God the eternal molded man from the dust of the ground, breath- ing into his nostrils the breath of life; this was how man became a liv- ing being. “In the land of Eden, In the Far East, God the eternal then planted a park, where he put the man whom he had molded. “And from the ground God the eter- nal made all sorts of trees to grow that were delightful to see and good to eat, with the tree of life and the tree that ylelds knowledge of good and evil in the center of the park. “From Eden a river flowed to water the park, which on leaving the park branched into four streams.” He interprets the story of the flood as follows: » “So God said to Noah: ‘T have re- solved to put an end to every human being, for they have filled the earth with insolence and outrage. I will destroy them and the earth together. “Build_a barge of cypress wood, bufld cabins inside’ the barge and cover it with pitch inside and out. “This is how you are to build it: The barge Is to be 450~feet long, 75 feet broad and 45 feet high. “You must put windows in the barge 18 inches from the roof and make a door in the side of the barge; also put three decks in it.” SOLORZANO DECLARED NICARAGUAN PRESIDENT National Liberal Candidate Chosen After Final Count of .

BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER. BERLIN, November 28.—The vast attempt of the European steamship lines led by the English Royal Mail Steamship Co. to form an Inter- national steamship trust against the United States and to obtain more of the north Atlantio trade and a vir- tually monopoly of the European and South American traffic, has failed owing to Germany’s unwillingness to be unfriendly to American interests. On Wednesday there ended an eighth day conference, which was held in the Hotel Esplanade in Ber- lin. Representatives of the British, Dutch, Belgian, French, Spanish, Italian and German steamship lines were present as well as several South American delegates. It appears that American steamship lines have been cutting frelght rates to a point at which Europeams were unwilling or unable to compete. Therefore, at the instigation of the Royal Mail Line, an international trust against’the American com- panies was considered. It was pro- posed to reach an understanding between al the companies whereby tariffs would be established in com- mon, time tables would be made to prevent competition and each coun- try's shipping would have a certain percentage of the total carrying trade, based on that country's pres- ent tonnage in the water. Germans Demurred. The Germans, however, demurred. They declared they were unwilling to accept any share based on their pres- ent tonnage, as within a year they would possess the same tonnage as before the war. Moreover, the Ger- mans were opposed in principle to combatting the Americans. Other delegates believe the Ger- mans were threatened by the allied American lines with a complete stop- page of their credit if they adhered to the English plan. It is notable that the Norwegians were absent. All the other European delegates, with the exception of the Germans, claim their trust was to be defensive in nature, purposing to defend the European lines from an American at- tack, ,and they declare the American interests plan to use the Germans and Norwegians in carrying out their plans for obtaining an ever larger share of the Atlantic carrying traffic.
