As a r these measures, the vote qualified or cast in the Southern States has heen so reduced that it includes only a small minc of the populati So small is this vote that the State and Jocal authorities constitute or easily control a majority. Governors and other State officers are sometimes elected by less than 10 per cent of the population of voting age.” Political Freedom Held Lost. The politically solid South is thus maintained but at the price of po-| litical freedom, he declared: popular government has been destroyed and there have been substituted for self- perpetuating political oligarchies, con- trolled by the office-holding groups in the several States, who are obedient to the party organizations and use the agencies of government and the taxing power to maintain the control of those organizations. In comparing the vote of the 11 States of the solid South with that of 11 States of the North and West with substantially the same population, Col. Anderson showed that 1920 cen’ sus figures indicated a 10 per cent vote to population for the South against a 33 per cent vote to popula- tion in the Northern States selected. “A spirit of intolerance, which is only too manifest in all parts of the Union, is especially acute in the States of the South, where the principles of political and religious liberty were once most vigorously maintained.” Hits Eighteenth Amendment. The eighteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States “is a violation of human nature, an affront to human reason, a gross invasion of personal liberty and, despite all the crime and misery that has resulted from strong drink, it can be pro- nounced a totally arbitrary and un- reasonable incubus upon the innocent and joyous side of human existence,” William Cabell Bruce, United States Senator from Maryland, said last night HELD FOR GRAND JURY.

SBURGH, August 19.—The combined police and detective force of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, augmented by officers of hundreds of surrounding towns, had failed today to find a trace of Paul Jawarski and John Vassbinder, notdrious murderers, who made a sensatidnal escape from the county jail yesterday, with the aid of an unidentified two-gun man. The mysterious stramger, a frequent visitor of Jawarski, confessed Detroit gangster and leader of the “Flathead Mob" of payroll bandits, accompanied ' | the two convicts in their dash through crowded streets in an automobile aft- er helping them shoot their way through the prison doors. Two guards were wounded. “Tip” Proves False. A posse headed by Sheriff Robert H. Braun and Assistant District At- torpey Andrew T. Park, returned from \Washington County empty handed after a futile hunt for the despera- does. Accompanied by other officers, heav- ily armed, they sped out of Pittsburgh in automobiles shortly before dawn on a “tip” from the vicinity of Bent- leyville, where, on the farm of Joe ‘Weckoski, the “Flathead Mob” hatched the Coverdale armored-car bombing and other sensational holdups. Guard Around Farm. A strong guard was thrown about the Weckoski farm, where some of the $104,000 loot from the Coverdale robbery was dug_up after the arrest of Jawarski and Weckoski. Through- out western Pennsylvania and in ad- Jacent sections of West Virginia and Ohio highways were closely watched and suspicious automobiles halted. Conflicting reports have been re- ceived as to the route taken by the fugitives. One report was that the es- cape car sped through Duquesne and another had it leaving Pittsburgh by way of East Liberty. Newcastle po- lice reported they believed they chased the convicts across the State line and notified Youngstown authorities. T Strawberries are the most fatiguing of fruits to pick. THE TEVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, DR. MDANIEL DIES AT RICHMOND. VA. Baptist Pastor, Widely Known Fundamentalist, Vic- tim of Paralysis. By the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va., August 19.—Rev. George White McDaniel, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Richmond for 23 years and one of the most widely known ministers in the denomi- nation, died here vesterday afternoon as the result of a stroke of paralysis on August 10. He was 52 years old. Dr. McDaniel's family was at his bedside until the end. He is survived widow, who was Martha Doug- rborough of Waco, Tex., and ‘hildren, Mary and John Har McDanlel, He w ordained soon_after his graduation from the Southern Baptist. Theological Semi- nary in 1900, and served the pastorate at Temple, Tex. At the end of his sec- ond year he was called to the pulpit of the Gaston Avenue Church of Dal- las, where he remained until 1904, when he became pastor of the First Baptist Church of Richmond, one of the oldest and most influgntial churches of the denomination. A big man standing 6 feet 2 inches, with a deep voice, he was a natural orator. This, combined with a well rounded education, brought him to the forefront of denominational affairs at an early age and his zeal for religious endeavor was mnever diminished. Dr. McDaniel was elected president of the Southern Baptist Convention in 1924, and served for three vears. He was a fundamentalist and it was his statement on the question of evolu- tion that was aproved by the conven- tion of 1926 as expressing the opinion of Southern Baptists. This statement affirmed belief in the origin of man as related in the Book of Genesis. He was zealous in behalf of foreign missions and Christians abroad. When Queen Marie of Rumania was visiting in America, Dr. McDaniel sought to prevail upon her to interest herself in what he termed the persecution of Baptists in Rumania, who he claimed were not given the protection guaran- teed under the treaty of 1919. He was born in Grimes County, Tex. on November 30, 1875, the son of Li titla Anne (White) and Francis As- bury McDaniel. He received the de- gree of A. B. at Baylor University in 1898 and his T. H. B. at the Southern Baptist Seminary two years later. The body will lie in state in the chancel of the church from 2 until 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Fu- neral services will be held in the church at 4 o'clock, with interment in Hollywood Cemetery. two rington Warrant Officer Assigned. ‘Warrant Officer Joseph J.

Our missionaries are as children among them. . . . The East wants from us nothing but our latest inventions —especially those that kill. Typically pessimistic, you say? Perhaps. But the Dean’s proverbial gloom is forgotten as he discusses the problem at hand. Is there a “world call to the Church”? Is Christianity = really a universal religion? Can it ever reconcile national and racial peculiarities? How? Has it a spiritual kinship with Bud- i BON e i ASE "ES"mgs mas'kk dhism and Mohammedanism?
