For generations the Protestant mis- Slons in Turkey, China and elsewhere have been enjoving the moral support and at times the acttve backing of the Department of State and the Ambas- sadors and Ministers of the American Government. This has been m exerted where Americun schools colleges and religious institutions have needed physical protection, but the diplomatic influence has been present, so that a degree of tolerance has been possessed by American missions which has not always been granted to those of other nationalities The question now Is whether a precedent of tremendous importance to the future has been laid down in the policy adopted by the Departm of h reference to the There hi a strictly ence round that the | ent should not in- terest itself igious quarrels’ @broad.

NEW TRIAL IS SOUGHT BY REPRIEVED SLAYER Ross Contends Conviction Illegal, | in Hope of Escaping Death Ohair. By the Associated Press. CLEVELAND, Ohio, August 28.— The light of hope dispelled shadowy visions of the electric chair today for Emmanuel Ross, 18-year-old slayer, as his attorneys, Alexander H. Martin and Miss Louise J. Pridgeon, began a new battle to save the vouth's life. Judge Samuel H. Silbert of Com- mon Pleas Court issued a reprieve and a recommendation for a stay of execution, which resulted in a two weeks’ reprieve being granted by Gov. Donahey vesterday. Judge Silbert's recommendation and his reprieve was issued on the claim of Ross’ attorneys that his trial and conviction were illegal, inasmuch as he case was not taken in the Juvenile Court before indictment by the grand jury. In a motion filed today it was asked that the death sentence be set aside and Ross be given a new trial. The motion to &et aside the convie- tion probably will be heard next week. The youth was convicted last March of the killing of Isidore Steeck during a robbery in the latter's store. et COLLEGE STUDENT RATED MORALLY BETTER TODAY Sigma Phi Epsilon Survey Sald to Show Him Superior to Any Former Day Type. By the Associnted Prese. RICHMOND, Va., August 28.—The college student of today is a better person, morally and soclally, than the college student of any former day, the Sigma Phi Epision Fraternity, in con- clave here, declared in a resolution adopted today Setting forth that in view of the fact that moral and social concepts of present-day college students were subject to adverse criticism, the fra- ternity had conducted a survey. The resolution said “A comparative analysis of present concepts of moral and social obliga, tions,_ with those of the past has re- sulted in the conclusion that the pres- ent-day trend of moral and soclal de- velopment in college student bodies in the United States as a whole is more wholesome and in better balance with the proprieties of a normal, useful existence than at any time hereto- tore.” The National College Fraternity will bring its silver jubiles conclave 1o a close toda; 3 HEALING CREAM. “Nothing “betfer under the Sun" id by All_Druggists Eye Strain Headaches Positively Relieved —Realizes that it is essential to entrust the eyes to an evesight specialist practicing in an exclusive opti- cal establishment.
