There appears to be little doubt that any measure which the Senate committee aproves will contain a pro- vision for some kind of regulato commission rather than placing con trol directly under the Commerce Department.

LOUISVILLE, April 23.—The epis- copal address, message of the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, to the General Conference was completed at a meeting of the epis- copal college here vesterday. The address, to be presented at the quadrennial General Conference in Memphis May 5. is understood to give a_ general viev the work of the church, the growth in membership and advances made in the several de- phrtments, together with any recom- mendations deemed necessary by the bishops. The episcopal letter will ask the General Conference to act on the ques- tion of unification with the Northern branch of the church, according to Rishop H. S. Dubose of San Fran- cisco. The unification proposal, al- though obtaining a majority, failed of the necessary constitutional ma- jority. ‘The bishops will not recommend the election of additional members to the episcopal college, having decided to leave that matter to the General Con- ference. Special committees are considering the question of whether to recommend that adjourned sessions of General Conferences be authorized and whether a degree of , Ntional autonomy be granted to churches in foreign flelds, These mmittees will report at a meeting of the episcopal college to be held in Nashville next week.

NEW YORK, April 23.—Ten-year- old Muriel Hausner of Yonkers, tired of playing with dolls, wantd a real ;hehy, so she devised an elaborate plan 4to obtain one by posing as the mother of a foundling. Today realization of her dream had been indefinitely postponed because of an investigation by the Public Welfare Commission. The baby in question was found in a subway station a few days ago, and Muriel had read of police belief that the mother had abandoned it because it was a boy, while pink trimmings on its well made clothing indicated a girl had been expected. The baby was about to be adopetd by a wealthy family when Welfare Commissioner Bird Coler received a letter from Muriel, saying she was the mother. It was signed “Mrs. Muriel Hausner.” A halt was called in the proceedings while investigators sped to Yonkers, and with their arrival Muriel's house of cards colapsed and her mother learned of the scheme. Muriel's letter was typed on a small HIBITS MODEL FOR STONE MOUNTAIN FIGURES.
