DR. ADAMS URGES CLOSE CHURCH TIES President Tells Universalist Convention of Need for Co-operation. Declaring the Universalist Church has been “not a little fretted by the cool® deliberations” with which its ap- peals have been received by the world in general. Dr. Frank D. Adams, presi- dent of the Universalist General Con- ventlon, today urged the church to more readily receive co-operation offered by other denominations—a co- operation sought in vain by the Uni- versalists in former years. Dr. Adams, who was speaking at the second session of the Universalist Gen- eral Convention in the Hotel Mayflower, urged the Universalists to fi undertake-a thoroughgoing self-an: “We have been concerned W organization, its faith and its missions. and not a little fretted by the cool deliberation with which our pleas have been received by the world in general All this has been on the comfortable assumption that the only thing needful to get the world to embrace this is to unlock our meeting houses on Sunday morning and announce preaching serv- ices at 10:30.” Cites Scce of Assumption. Adding that it is a “stupendous and daring thing for any man or any insti- tution to entertain an assumption like that,” Dr. Adams said that three years ago the church began to think seriously about a closer co-operation between the Universalists and other denominations. Declaring that “a century hence this event will be resognized as marking an epoch in theological history,” Dr .Adams sald: “Now what is puzzling me is the smoldering hostility toward this move- ment on the part of some of our most | excellent people, on the plea that it somehow implies disloyalty to our faith, our history and our denominational spirit.” Dr. Adams’ address was the feature of the morning session, which included in its program reports of officers of the general conference and the board of trustees. The morning program was opened with devotional services con- ducted by Rev. Marion D. Shutter of Minnesota. A conference under the auspices of the commission on foreign relations and world peace convenes in the hotel this afternoon. This afternoon’s session was to be ad- | dressed by Rev. Clifford Stetson of Ja- pan, whose subject was to be the “United States and the Orient, Particu- larly Japan”; Rev. Walter Macpherson of Illinois to speak on “England, United States and World Peace,” and Mrs. Kate T. Abrams and Phillip C. Nash, “League of Nations.” Birth Control Conference.

Van Winkle, chief of the Police Women's Bureau; Judge Mary O'Toole of the Municipal Court and District Attorney | Leo A. Rover. ' The vision of international justice | and world peace created by Ramsay Macdonald and President Hoover was praised by Rev. Frederic W. Perkins at the formal opening of the Universalist General Convention in All Souls’ Uni- tarian Church, Sixteenth and Harvard streets, last night. . Perkins emphasized the great faith shown by President Hoover and Premier Macdonald in their vision of peace and criticized persons lacking | faith, Dr. Eugene B.

Railroad. State's At-= torney Robert Peter, however, char-| acterized the verdict as too “general,” and the jury was sent back to reframe its findings with a view to a specific resentment for possible consideration of the grand jury. _ ‘Taking the case under consideration for the second time, the jury deliberated an_hour and returned shortly before 1 ‘o’clock with substantially the same ver- dict. Written statements of the three sur- viving members of the seven-man crew were read at the hearing. It was brought out that the crew violated a regulation of the company when they placed their gasoline work car on the tracks without frst notifying the train dispatcher of the division in question. ‘The statements said the four men who were killed were running beside the car, getting the gasoline motor starfed, 'when the backing locomotive | loorhed suddenly from around a curve | behind and bore down down upon them. The three who sustained lesser injuries | were riding on the truck and were | hurled clear by the impact. Lookout Declared Kept. Members of the locomotive crew tes- tified they carried proper lights and | maintained the usual lookout, but that | they did not see the section hands until after the collision. The engineer | said his first intimation of the tragedy was when the fireman exclaimed “We have hit something!” The foreman of the section crew, who was expected to attend the hearing, was unable to do 5o because of his in- juries.

The workmen had placed their yesterday, when the locomotive backed into them near Rockville station. Five of the men were catapulted from the light car.

Willard, commandant of the navy yard, delivered a brief address, extolling the workmanship of Mr. Goss, who has been a cartridge case maker in the naval gun factory. workers at the yard. ‘The ceremony took place at 12:15 o'clock, and Mr. Goss was presented with a purse of money, the gift of his fellow employes, who hold him in high regard.
