Nine men, one | of them a captain of National Guard | troops, were injured. | Until & heavy rain began falling early today, the mob, in groups of 25 and 30, stood on street corners, estimated to number about 700 shortly after mid- night. The mob gradually dwindled away as the rain and daylight came. “Gov. Dan Moody, at Austin, said he would not declare martial law unless National Guardsmen were unable to quell disorders in co-operation with civil authorities. Additional Guard troops, numbering 80, and commanded by Col. Lawrence EHO(!NMOOLLS Davidson, ar- rived shortly after 2 a.m. today.

ASSEMBLY OF CROWDS IN SHOLAPUR FORBIDDEN Gandhi's Successor Schedules Raid on Government’s Salt Depots Next Thursday. By the Associated Press. BOMBAY, India, May 10.—Unusual protective measures were put in force throughout India today to prevent com- munal rioting between Hindus and Mos- lems on the occasion of the Mohamme- dan feast of Bakrid, in commemoration of Abraham’s sacrifice of the Iamb. Bakrid is an event which even under normal circumstances carries with it the danger of disturbances. Today— the anniversary of the great Sepoy mutiny of 1857, and with Hindu-Moslem antipathies greatly accentuated by rea- son of Moslem abstinence from the civil disobedience campaign—there was par- ticular apprehension. Moslem sacrifice of cows, sacred to the Hindus, consti- tuted another danger element. Sholapur Assemblies Banned. 1In Sholapur, scene of sanguinary riot- ing Wednesday and Thursday, in which unofficial estimates of 50 dead and 400 wounded are made, an order was issued forbidding assembly of more than five persons. This applied only to Hindus and not to Moslems celebrating Bakrid. Eve ing was quiet here as the day benm 3 gluud in continuation of the hartal, de:hred when Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the civil disobedience campaign, was arrested under a 103- year-old law and “interned” at Yeroda , Poona, There were reports here that the five police ml&;{nctlht ?hcm:&lr hl.dd t&elr eyes gouged out by the rioters and then were thrown in a well to die. Three others were segregated from their com- patriots, tied wfether, their uniforms soaked with gasoline and burned alive. Salt Depot Raid Planned.

Rumor of Advance on Police Magazine Proves False. SHOLAPUR, India, May 10 (#).—An air of nervous expectancy hung over Sholapur this morning, although all was quiet and the charred remains of police stations were the only reminders of the week’s rioting.

PREACHER ATTACKS METHODIST BISHOP Four Are Accused of Political Activities During 1928 Campaign. By the Assoclated Press. WASHINGTON, Ga., May 10.—Rev. Rembert G. Smith, Southern Methodist t | preacher here, today disclosed charges he had made against four' bishops of the church because of “unwarranted” political activities in 1928. He charged Bishop James Cannon, jr.; Edwin D. Mouzon and John M. Moore, with viola- tion of a church rule laid down in Baltimore in 1784 providing equal polit- ical rights for Roman Catholic citizens in line with the Constitution of the United States. He added Bishop H. M. Dubose to the list in making charges of polme:l activity In their capacity s i s it o wpe o e that Bishop during the 1928 mdentlll nmpa’n worked on an s nse account by “Northern Pe- pul His statement follows in part: “In 1928 Bishops Cannon, Mouzon, Moore and Dubose went into aggressive political activity in the interest of \dr Hoover and the Republican puty leging that this was required in order to defend prohibition. “If the general conference passes the official chlnmr of these four bishops with no comment - action as to thefr political campaign in 1928 in the in- terest of the Republican party this will be an indorsement by that body of the Republican party and particularly its record since 1928 as to enforcement of the eighteenth amendment. In event, the general conference wm also approve the Republican party as to all its policies. “In ‘the campaign of 1928 Bishops Cannon, Mouzon and Moore attacked ‘Gov. Smith, the nominee of the Demo- cratic party, not only because he favored modification of the dry laws, but also because he was a member of the Roman Catholic Church. This was an incen- diary innovatlon and a nullification of the constitution of American Methodism. Smith cited news reports and claimed to have had personal observation of Bishop Cannon's actions at at least one meeting which he said refuted the bishop's claim in Dallas that his actions in 1928 were those of a private cmun! and not as a bishop. He cited an article in the Christian Index in the Summer of 1929 in which he said Bishop Cannon told of bor- rowing funds of the board for part of the expense of calling the Macon meeting.
