People of to-| day have a movie mind; it's jerky,” the | pastor said. | A second address was made by Bishop | William F. McDowell, resident bishop of the Washington area, in which the bishop declared, “There is every need of keeping in close touch with God at all times.” He developed the thought that God and His teachings should al- ways be uppermost in the minds of the | people.

Describing & tense moment toward end of the play, the blshog said that watching it, he saw the captain hold up his hand and signal and then “a familiar figure slouched onto the feld.” “It was like saying to Walter Johnson,” the bishop continued, “if you can't do it, Walter, no- y, Bishop McDowell said, if Christ and his teachings cannot fill the world with deeper spirituality, “it cannot be done.” MONTGOMERY VOTING LISTS TO BE REDUCED Party Leaders Predict Several Thousand Names Will Be Stricken October 7. Special Dispatch to The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 26.— ‘When the officers of registration for the various election precincts of Mont- gomery County finish revising the regis- tration books on Tuesday, October 7,| f6r which purpose they will be in ses-| sion exclusively on that day, the lists| will, according to leaders of the two| parties, show several thousand fewer names than at the beginning of the day’s work. Both the Democratic and Republican workers are just now busily engaged in scanning the lists for names that should come off, because of death, removal or m\pro&e)r registration, and it is stated that th parties will submit lengthy lists of “suspects” just before the regis- trars conclude their work next Tues- day, on which day they will sit to reg- ister and transfer qualified voters. It is understood the Republicans ex* pect to cite more than 2,000, and the Democrats also a large number, and all on these lists will be notified to appear before their Registration Boards the following Tuesday and show cause why their names should not be erased. ‘When a suspect appears, he cannot be stricken off unless both registrars agree, but when a cited person fails to appear his name can be erased upon the insistence of only one member of the board. 3 Persons aggrieved by the action of the rce‘ugtsrzmrs may appeal to the Circuit under consideration for this afternoon as there is no set program of procedure, ‘There will be a banquet for preacher’s wives and daughters of the conference in the Burlls Hotel tonight, under auspices of the Preachers, Wives an Daughters’ Association. o IFURNITURE d | ter of the late Dr. BISHOP'S ACCUSER - SAYS FIGHT HUMAN Rev. Costen J. Harrell Fails to Mention Cannon in Con- ference Address. By the Assoclated Press. Rev. Costen J. Harrell of Richmond, Va., one of the four ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church Séuth who have brought charges against Bishop James Cannon, jr., told the Baltimore Conference of that church here today at the Mount Vernon Place Church that he supposed controversies in the ciurch “must be, because we are human.” The clergyman did not mention the complaints against Bishop Cannon. With Rev. Forrest J. Prettyman of Baltimore he last night expressed belief Bishop Cannon .would not be able to have the investigation they sought set aside. “But one thing that we can do is this,” he said to the meeting today: “We can’ prevent these controversies from turning our minds from our chiet busi- ness—that of feeding men’s inner, life.” Bishop Cannon, now on his way to the Unfted States from Brazil, told the Associated Press by radio he would file a protest on the ground he had not been ;Tniel‘red with before the charges were i " The four ministers advised him of their action by cable, and, they said, his reply constituted acknowledgment of the charges. These are now in the hands of Bishop Ainsworth of the Col- Jege of Bishops, who may appoint a committee. to pass on the advisability of holding a church trial. Dr. Prettyman expressed the opinion that on the basis of their investigation “we have neither the moral nor the legal right to hold up the process until all the facts pertaining to this case are brought into full review.” ‘The two churchmen refused to divulge their charges. Bishop Cannon success- fully faced an earlier group of charges brought against him on the basis of his political activities and stock market transactions. The new allegations are understood to cover these activities and also to take in other aspects of his conduct. ‘The present case, Dr. Prettyman said, is the first in the Southern Methodist Church in which a bishop has been cited for trial in this manner.

Wozniak never had declared that the flame came from the inside of the shell, the German counsel said, but it only seemed to him that the flame burst from the interior. He could not see the streak of sparks behind the clean- ing machine, Tannenberg said calling attention to the fact that other work- men did observe the sparks. The tegti- mony of workmen other than Wozniak was not produced by the claimant come pany, he declared, and the failure to produce these contemporaneous state- ments weakened the American claim.
