CANTERBURY, England, December | 4—Dr. Cosmo Gordon Lang, ninety- | | seventh Archbishop of Canterbury and | primate of the established Church of | England, today was enthroned in the | marble chair of St. Augustine, i The enthronement of the former Archbishop of York was carried out | | with medieval, ecclesiastical ceremony | and pageantry in the cathedral here. Because of the illness of King George there was a possibility until the very | last that the enthronement might be postponed. Canterbury was awakened by a deep pealing of the city's bells, which herald- ed the ceremony. From ancient inns, which once were hostels for pilgrims, and through narrow streets, modern pilgrims assembled at every entrance of the famous old building whose gray walls were slightly shrouded in a mist. American Attends. The great assembly in the cathedral imcluded Bishop Charles H. Brent ofi Western New York, representing the | Americen Church, and was eminently | catholic in scope, as for the first Umfll in the long history of Canterbury rep- | resentatives of the free churches were | invited to join in the prayers for the | new head of the English Church. Rep- | resentatives of non-conformist bodies in | various European countries were also present. % In a grave and dignified manner Dl‘.l Lang was placed first on the great archepiscopal throne. Then he was led by the Dean of Canterbury to the marble chair of St. Augustine, where he was enthroned by the dean to signify his succession as the ninety-seventh arch- bishop. The archbishop in his enthronement sermon said that as he looked upon the world he saw a field being everywhere cleared for one supreme conflict be- tween spiritual religion and material civilization which claimed to be self- sufficient. As that civilization advanced ancient religions crumbled and fell. Archbishop’s Statement. “There is only one religion which can withstand the gospel of the Son of Man,” he continued. “Yet behold the plight of the church which carries this faith as it meets the compact, self- confident and ever-advancing force of material civilization. Thank God, a strong desire for unity is moving through its broken ranks.” The great assembly of 4,000 persons sang the hymn, “Oh, Faith of England.” Bishops were conducted to their seats in the sacrarium, and meanwhile the dean and canons had repaired to the Old Palace, whence they escorted the archbishop to the great west door of the cathedral, where his entry was heralded by trumpeteers. ‘The great ecclesiastical procession with its glowing color was the feature of the tnthronement; the archbishop himself wore a plain red robe over a white surplice, with lawn sleeves and black bands, while a gold cross glittered on his breast. As the procession entered, the choir chanted specially ‘Two altar boys held up the archbishop’s trailing robes. To add to the color, the procession passed through a great congregation, most of which was in state costume, in regal and academic dress and may- oral robes, in addition to hundreds of clergy, including the strikingly garbed representatives of the Russian, Ar- menian and Greek churches. STUDENTS CALLED IN BOWLES INQUEST Hearing Into Automobile Fa- tality Will Be Held Tonight at Hyattsville. An inquest into the death of Law- rence Webster Bowles, 21-year-old Prince Georges County truck farmer, who lost his life as the result of injuries received when his truck ran or was knocked off the bridge spanning the! Northwest Branch on the eens Chapel road near Hyattsvillt, Novqe“mber 24, will be held tonight by Justice of the Peace Herbert Moffat in Police Court at Hyattsville. Following an investigation by Con- stable Claude A. Reese, David Roden- feld, 22, University of Maryland student, was arrested yesterday on a charge of | reckless driving. He is at liberty under $1,000 bond. Said to be the driver of the automobile which met the dead mans’ car at or near the bridge, he and five other Maryland students have been { summoned to appear at the inquest. The warrant for Rodenfeld’s arrest, issued by Justice of the Peace Mrs. Retta D. Moris of Hyattsville, charges him with reckless driving on the morn- ing on the accident. Maryland author- ities decline to say, however, that they believe - Rodenfeld’s machine forced Bowles' truck off the bridge. It is understood that Mrs. Bowles, mother of the dead youth, is not satis- fied that her son’s truck was not forced off the brie by another machine. At the instar = of County Prosecutor J. Frank Pa an, Constable Reese sum- | moned the coroner’s jury, of which former Mayor Willlam 'P. Macgruder of Hyattsville is foreman. Rodenfeld and his five companions, who were returning to the University of Maryland at the time of the accident, assisted in the rescue of Bowles, who died a few hours later at Sibley Hospi- tal in Washington. her students are Bernard : Louis Wise, 21; Roy Blech- B.

On the way th met a milk wagon which they dispatch- ed to the rescue, The four other youths, with the assistance of the two men on the milk wagon, pulled Bowles from the water, A few minutes later Rodenfeld and Rosen arrived with H. L.Leonard, chief of the Prince Georges County Fire De- partment rescue squad, who succeeded in resuscitating Bowles and then took him to the hospital. 8 Will Be Governor's Secretary.

The U. S. S. Rochester) flagship of the Special Service Squadron, has been ordered from Panama. to stand by near the Galapagos Islands off the Ecuador coast, to act as a relay station between Hoover’s battleship, the Maryland, and the Navy radio at Balboa in case of need to prevent any possible interrup- tion of service either by casualty to the Maryland transmitter or by the “fad- ing” of signals when the Maryland goes south of the Andes. Navy Department officials pointed out that while communications can be main- tained between Washington and the Maryland only on very high and low | frequencies through Balboa, a number of additional frequencics may be used with the Rochester as the relay point. As a further insurance of constant com- munication, daily contact also is main- tained by the Maryland, both with Hon- olulu and with the U. . S. Utah, now off Brazil en route to Montevideo, where it will meet the Hoover party. At present 10,000 words a day are be- ing handled by the Navy radio oper- ators on board the Marylend, about 4,000 to the ship and 6,000 from it. Most of this traffic is press corre- | spondence. BUREAU PROVIDES APARTMENT CHECK Real Estate Board Gives Service to Guard Against Co-operative Frauds. Wide use of the consultation bureau set ‘up this year by the co-operative apartmem division of the National As- £ociation of Real Estate Boards will ef- fectively protect the public from fraud- ulent or poorly conceived projects, Al- bert W. Swayne, Chicago operator, de- | clared last night at the annual meet- | ing of the division at the Mayflower Hotel. ; | This bureau, which makes a detailed | study of proposed co-operative apart-| ment projects and certifies those found safely and successfully planned, was set up primarily for protection of the pub- lic and legitimate elements in the co- operative apartment field, he said. The bureau, he explained, makes a study of the financial, legal, architec- tural and sales plan of proposed co- operative operations upon application by builders. Wherr the service of the bureau becomes widespread, he said, it will be almost impossible for an operator whoge project has been certified as | sound to market his building: i The work of the bureau was described following a reference by R. Bates War- ren of Washington, retiring chairman of the division, to the recent failure of a local apartment as a co-operative. Mr. Warren declared that this building was the only one out of 39 co-operative projects here to fail with loss to any one interested. The meeting also was addressed by Robert F. Beresford, former president of the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects; Rufus S. Lusk. secretary of the Operative Builders’ As. sociation; Maj. Donald A. Davison, As- sistant Engineer Commissioner, who officially welcomed the out-of-town delegates; Maj. Carey H. Brown, engi- neer of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission; H. Morton Bod- fish, secretary of the consultation bu- reau, and Richard Carroll Francis of the Haskin Information Bureau. ‘The division adjourned to meet today BURROS SERENADE SANTA FEAT NIGHT Mayor Orders Animals Killed, but Public Protests Stopped Destruction. By the Associated Press. SANTA FE, N. Mex, December 4.— Stray burros are a greater problem | than stray dogs in this quaint city, where old Spain mingles with the wild West, Mayor Jim McConvery knows some- thing ought to be done about the prob- lem, but he doesn't know what that | something ought to be. Every night the telephone interrupts the mayor's sleep, and some indignant citizen informs Mayor Jim he is indig- nant because a stray minstrel, with long rhythmic ears, is serenading beneath the bedroom window. The mayor ex- presses his sympathy, for he, too, knows that a braying burro can be a nuisance, just like a dingling telephone, during ! the hours intended for slumber. ‘The stray burros have been driven out of town. But they have found the way back, for they m to be fond of the governor's pl where they can nibble leaves off low-hanging trees. Once the mayor signed a decree for the execution of the idle burros, but public opinion compelled him to re- | seind it, “First we had a hard time finding some one without qualms of conscience over taking the life of a burro,” Mec- Convery relates. “When we did find a willing executioner, there was a storm of protest from the’ pro-burro faction, which accused us of trying to destroy the town’s most. atmospheric asset.” Besides decorating the landscape, burros serve only one useful purpose- in New Mexico. The natives use them as pack animals for bringing wood and fagots from the mountains.

BERLIN, _ December 4.—Political circles i Berlin appear considerably upset by a section of a statement made in the House of Commons yesterday | by Sir Austen Chamberlain, British | foreign secretary, on Rhineland occupa- tion and reparations. | "The part_they complain of is tha lin which Sir Austen was quoted a saying that on the question of law there was no legal justification for the contention that Germany had complied with all the _obligations imposed by | the treaty of Versailles as to entifle her under article 431, or otherwise, to | { demand withdrawal of the occupying | | troops before the expiration of the | | period laid down in the treaty. | This statement is construed as mean- | |ing that Germany can demand ful- | | filment of article 431 only when she | | has entirely carried out her repara- | { tions obligations and is declared t> | prejudice the present internationcl situation. |1t is believed that when Dr. Gustave | Stresemann meets Sir Austen at Lugano | | during the coming meeting of “th:| | Council of the League of Nations th: | German foreign minister will ask him | |if this “revival of the Versailles spirit” | |18 deliberate and will express the | | opinion that it is calculated to jeop~ | ardize the principles of the Locarno| | policy. | The few Berlin papers which com- i mented on Sir Austen’s declaration ex- press indignation at this part of it.

ITZENSREQUES STHOOL EXPAYSIN Addition of Another Unit to System Is Favored by Manor Park Group. Request for additional school facili- ties in their community and indorse- ment of a plan to add another school unit to the public school system of the city featured the monthly meeting of the Manor Park Citizens' Association in the John Greenleaf Whittier School, Fifth and Sheridan streets, last night. Noting that the Board of Education has recently recommended the estab- lishment of a junior college—a project which the Manor Park citizens claim they suggested four years ago—the association again went on record as favoring such an institution. Herbert Bryant, chairman of the committee on schools and education, who introduced a resolution to that effect, explained that the junior college would make it possible for students to go direct from it to any of the higher universities of the country. More Portables Sought. Faced with the possibility of the pres- ent overcrowded condition of the Whit- tier School being augmented by an influx of additional students in Febru- ary, the association urgently requested the Board of Education to immediately provide additional portables at that building. Although the fight at the last meet- ing of the Federation of Citizens' Asso- ciations was officially reported and commented on by several speakers, the sentiment was repeatedly expressed that Dr. George C. Havenner was responsi- ble for his own appointments as presi- dent of the federation and no action was taken. Charges that there was considerable overlapping and resultant waste in street surfacing operations of the Dis. trict were referred to a committee {9 investigation. A resolution was passed asking the Capital Traction Co. to re- move the trolley poles on Third street from Kennedy to Whittier streets from the center to the side of the thorough- fare.

BY LEMUEL F. PARTON. i Special Dispatch to The Star. 1 NEW YORK, December 4—It was | learned from a reliable source today | that Gov. Alfred E. Smith positively | declines o become a_candidate for || | mayor of Greater New York. ‘According to this informant, ths | pressure on Gov. Smith has not come particularly from Tammany, but from citizens of both parties; alarmed by in- creasing complexity of traffic and other purely economic proklems, which, they believe, Gov.

During and after the presidential Expected to Run" rift between Gov. Spith and Tammany was widening. Three-Cornered Fight. Mayor Walker, it is beleived, will un- questionably run again, with Tammany | support. As former Mayor John F. Hylan has announced that he would run independently, there is a three- cornered fight in the offing, which the Republicans hope to win through a division of the normally Democratic vote by the Hylan candidacy. Judge Otto S. Rosalsky has been re- peatedly mentioned as a possibility for the Republican nomination. While he has given no word as to whether he would accept. there has been noticeable | within the last two weeks a drive in | his_direction. Encouraging word is reported to have been received from Washington to the effect that H. Edmund Machold would participate in the distribution of Fed- eral patronage, and that there woula be little change in Federal appointments here. This is regarded as greatly strengthening the organization group and the Republican camp has more the appearance of compact and effective or- | ganization than it has had for several | years past. Charges Irregularities. Mrs. Ruth Pratt, former member of | the Board of Aldermen, and elected to Congress at the last election, has charged various irregularities in the ad- ministration of the city's affairs. Ungquestionably, the entire New York | traffic situation will be thoroughly over- hauled in the mayoralty fight. The 5-cent fare has been maintained here, but by a municipal subsidy to the sub- way company. While congestion in- creases to the point not only of dis- comfort but of danger, the fight of the companies for a 7-cent fare has dragged slowly on its way up to the Supreme Court. Projects Mixed in Politics. The proposed building of the tri- borough bridge, the Richmond-Brook- Iyn vehicular tunnel, the Spuyten Duy- vil tube, the vehicular tube for traffic | up and down the island also are enmesh- ed in_political controversy as well as the plans for the West Side elevated highway, and the projected plan of a great integrated system of belt line roads and subways. unifying the entire metropolitan district and solving the in- creasingly urgent problem of traffic fa- cilities. These varjous undertakings would carry the city far beyond the legal limit of its charter indebiedness, but it would be possible to carry through the construction under the port au- thority of New York, a quasi-public body, which can issue and sell its own bonds and retire them out of returns. - On the whole, the political situation in the metropolis has been galvanized by pressing economic issues which promise to make the coming mayoralty campaign anything but a sham battle, (Covyright. 1928.)
