Of chief interest tomorrow is the first n. ‘Through an error on the part of the committee in charge of the dedication, it was announced today that a lot of tickets to the daily services st the church had been distributed to local It 1s° desired that out-of- town delegates and visitors to the eon- vention be given the first opportunity to get these tickets, so the request was made by the committee, the press, that local residents who have obtained tickets would turn them back. Many of the out-of-town visitors have traveled great distances to witness the ceremonies, and it is feared, owing to the limited capacity of the church, that a good many of .them might. be the privilege. Loctal residents, it was pointed out, have the opportunity to take part in services at church at its final dedication next week. At the initial service tomorrow, which ‘will be conducted at 12:30 p.m., the pul- pit will be dedicated.

By the Associated Press. WASHINGTON COURT _ HOUSE, Ohio, October 14.—Mal 8. Daugherty, banker, who figured in the fringes of the investigation into the Teapot Dome ofl lease of the Harding administration, was under $40,000 bond today charged with embezzlement, misapplication ~of funds and falsification of statements. Daugherty was indicted on 58 counts | yesterday by the Fayette County grand jury, which investigated the closings lasi ‘Summer of the Ohio State Bank, of which Daugherty was president, and the Peoples & Drovers' Bank. His brother, former Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty of Columbus, and his mother, Mrs. Jane Daugherty of this city, signed the bond for his release. Date for arralgnment was not set. Misapplication Charged. Daugherty, 1t is charged among the 15 indictments, misapplied $34,000 of the Ohio State Bank’s funds. Accord- ing to bankruptcy proceedings started by Attorney General Gilbert Bettman of Ohio at the request of State Supt. of Banks O. C. Gray, Daugherty owes the two banks $77,000, which he is un- able to pay. A perjury indictment was returned against Virgil Vincent, grain merchant, who told the jury he had no: borrowed funds from the Ohlo State Bank and transferred the money to Daugherty, as charged by the State. The investi- gation of the banks' affairs was taken up by Prosecutor W. 8. Paxson at the instance of a group of citizens after the bankruptcy proceedings were insti- tuted. The failures caused considerable financial difficulties. Jury To Be Recalled. ‘The indictments resulted from an ex- amination by Cecil L. Hall and Frank G. Schaeffer, Cincinnati accountants, according to Paxson. The investigation is not yet completed, and the grand jury will be recalled November 12. Bix years ago Daugherty was cited for contempt of the Senate when he refused a Senate Committee permission to examine the books of the Midland Bank, rumored to have on deposit funds alleged to have been transferred in the Teapot Dome deals. At that time Daugherty was president of the Mid- land Bank, which later was merged with two other institutions to form the Ohic State Bank. The citation was never pressed.

C., TUESDAY, O ADDITION URGED FOR PAUL SCHOOL Takoma Park Citizens Take Action on Learning of Overcrowding. ‘The overcrowded condition of the new Paul Junior High School, Eighth and Nicholson streets, reported to the Ta- koma Park Citizens' Association at a meeting held last night in the Takoma Park branch of the Washington Public Library resulted in the assoclation re- questing the school committee to pre- sent a detailed report at the next meet- in| 8. 8. E. Blassingham, chairman of the school committee, said the present con- dition would be worse when the Feb- ruary term opened, and that the over- flow would in all probability have to be sent to other schools. He urged the association to take immediate steps with a view to securing an addition to the present structure appreciating the length of time required to secure the necessary appropriation from Congress. He was requested by the association to present, a report at the November meet- ing setting forth the future require- ments of the school. Anouncement was made that a meeting of the Takoma Park’ Home and School Association would hold a meeting Friday night at 8 o'clock in the Takoma Public School. Burt W. Andrews, chairman of the Streets and Lights Committee, urged the paving of Van Buren street from the viaduct under the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad tracks westward to Georgia avenue. Dr. Guy Clinton reported that the trafic situation at the intersection of Fourth and Cedar streets and Blair road was not proving satisfactory. Mr. and Mrs. R, C. Harbin and David Feldman were elected to membership in the assoclation. At the conclusion of business Miss Sibyl Baker, director of community center work, addressed the meeting. One of the greatest problems at the present time, she sald, was the idle hours when the Youn(er children were not at school. Every community, she said, was taking count of what the young group is doing. Takoma Park, the speaker continued, has an advanced opportunity over the rest of the District by reason of the fact that it has a community center that promises to develop early. Herbert Walton Rithledge presided, with Wil m M. Greene as secretary. . New Eharge Ifiay Prove Convict Innocent of Old Counsel of “Doc” Eaton Will Use Court Trial to Seek Pardon. By the Associated Press. ANOKA, Minn., October 14 —Intricate legal machinery, which already has sent Clarence D. (Doc) Eaton to prison for life, was invoked yesterday th prisoner'’s own counsel to force trial of another charge against him in an ef- fort to prove his innocence of the crime or which he was convicted. Eaton, who served four and a half years of a life sentence, was con- vicf of entering the Anoka National Bank with intent to rob it. His second trial, ordered today by Judge W. A. Schultz on spplication of the convicted man's attorney, will be on the charge of actual bank robbery. Through the second trial Eaton's attorney hopes to prove his client innocent of the first charge and thus pave the way for a pardon. The wuecuunf attorney at Eaton's first trial has told the Pardon Board he is convinced he convicted an inno- cent man and has revealed that two witnesses in the bank at the time of the robbery sald Eaton was not one of the bandits. These witnesses were not called by the State at the first trial, but are available for the defense now. Judge Schultz has set October 21 as the date for Eaton's trial on the bank robbery charge which carries a penalty of 40 years in prison. Beggars and Unemployed Unknown—Sick and Aged Are Pensioned. 40 Per Cent Tax on Incomes Over $16,000 Provides Revenue. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. Although Holland has also felt ""‘i heavy hand of industrial depression, | which has laid its weight upon the na- | tions of the world, the sight of a bread line for unemployed or beggars holding out hats on street corners is unknown, J. H. van Royen, Minister from the Netherlands, declared today on return- from a visit to The Hague. m{lmnur van Royen feels that a sec- | ond renaissance is now dawning in the | Netherlands. | “There is & general renalssance throughout the country,” he said, “in the arts, sclences and commerce, a5 well as jculture and horticulture. Al- Uwu.gg Holland is one of the smallest of the nations, six Nobel prizes have been awarded to Hollanders, comprising more per capita than have been won | by any other country.” Not Afraid of Industrial Crisis. The Minister said that the Dutch | export trade from the Indies, including Ji had felt the industrial crisis greatest in the coffee, sugar, quinine and pepper trades, but he entertained no great fears as to its permanent ef- fects. y “The unemployment question,” he said, “is regulated by law. That is true of all, unemployment, whether due to | lack of work, sickness, old age or ac-| cidents. The man of moderate means in Holland must pay a very heavy income tax, in addition to six or seven other taxes. A person receiving an income of say, $16,000 a year, will probably pay at least 40 per cent of that to the gov- ernment. The government in turn, takes care of all the poor and unem- ployed. Of course, guarantees must be offered by the man out of work that his unemployment is due to inability to find work, lllness or other unavoidable causes. Proving this, he is pensioned by ;m government ¢ until he secures Work.” 01d Persons Receive Pensions. “The aged are also cared for by a overnment pension,” Minister van snnn conginued, “and a beggar or an illiterate is never seen. There are no such things as poor houses, as poor, old le are able to live on the pensions by the government. One never sees t poverty in Holland; on the other , are no enormously wealthy individuals. Such a thing as a parent a greater inheritance to one k Rhaard MINISTER DESCRIBES HOLLAND AS LAND WHERE ALL WORK J. H. VAN ROYEN. —Harris-Ewing Photo. customs and traditions of the country. Children inherit equally of their par- ents’ estates. In that way, few single persons accumulate great wealth.” The Minister declared that in the country of Queen Wilhelmina these principles of socialism are practiced with success, and for the betterment nd happiness of the entire country. While in Europe Minister and Mme. van Royen visited the famous Passion Play at Oberammergau. Calls Play Thrilling Spectacle. “It is a thrilling spectacle,” the Min- ister said, “and very beautifully done. The ‘tableaux vivants,’ which are shown in the opening scenes, representing epi- sodes in both the Old and New Testa~ ments, are, in my eStimacion, the’ most beautiful rt of the play. The choir is wonderful. Standing In front of the outer stage, the choir forms a screen at the beginning of the performgnce, later opening 8o as to permit the stage to be seen. Solos by a tenor at one end of the choir, and by a bass voice at the other, interspersed by solos sung by woman members, are carried on through- out the play, which commences at 8 in the morning, continues until noon, and starts agamn at 1:30 in the afterS noon to last until 5 o'clock.” ‘The Minister was told while at Oberammergau_ that, contrary to the custom of the little Bayarian village to hold the Passion Play every 10 years, the next production of the famous biblical spectacle will take place in 1934, In celebratiorr of the 300th an- niversary of the first presentation of the Passion Play. Although returned to Washington but a few days, Minister van Royen, accom- panied by Mme. vgn Royen, will leave on Sunday for an| nsive tour of the Northern of fl; e United States. Detroit, Minneapolis, Portland, Seattle, CTOBER 14, 1930. COLORFUL BUSINESS LEADER IS ALSO EXPONENT OF RELIGION Robert A. Long of Kansas City, Mo., to Preside at Church Dedication. Recently Named as One of 50/ Men Who Govern This Country. As a leader in business and religion, Robert A. Long of Kansas City, Mo., president of the International Conven- tion of the Disciples of Christ, is one of the picturesque figures of the country. A few weeks ago Mr. Long was named by a prominent financial writer as one of the 50 men governing America. In a sense he may be placed in that cate- gory among the builders of business and character, but those who have known the motives that have inspired him during the years of his struggle to a high place in leadership know there is no thought of governing power in his mind. Over a desk in the Kansas City office | of his lumber company, one of the greatest businesses in America, a visitor will find this motto: “Work, Don't Wait. Laugh, Don't| Weep. Boost, Don't Knock.” That is good philosophy for business or any kind of living. And Mr. Long, | one of the few Americans who has actually built a city, is as much inter- ested in his hobbies as he is in his business. And among his hobbies are horses and religion. The turf and the | church are not ordinarily thought of | together, but Mr. Long is an example of | the fact that a man may have a pas- sion for fine horses and yet never| gamble, and may be assidious in busi- | ness and at the same time be a leader | in_the religious life of the Nation. | born December 17, | Shelbyville, Ky, | .1t was my mother’s desire,” he said, “that I shauld become a minister of the gospel.” He never got away from that mother’s | influence. At the same time one of his youthful ambitions was to acquire wealth. Today as one of the ‘wealthy | men of the country he is also one of | its greatest philan ists. | ROBERT A. LONG. lied Charity drive in 1919, when Kansas City raised $2,500,000 to erect a me- morial to its soldler dead and to pro- vide a year's charity budget. Upon its formation he became president of the | Liberty Memorial Association, which sponsored the erection of the great Sol- diers’ Memorial on Station Hill. As one of the leading laymen of the Christian church in America, it was largely through Mr. Long's efforts that the ultimate erection of the beautiful National City Christian Church in Washington was made possible. He will preside at the dedication service of this structure next Sunday. Aside from his religious activities— he is also a trustee of the Bible College of Missouri and president of the Chris- tian Board of Publishers and the Christian Evangelist, the organ of the Disciples of Christ—Mr. Long has few recreations. He is not a golfer, hunter or fisherman, nor does he attend the theater or play cards. But he does share with his younger daughter her love for fine horses and has taken great pride in her trilumphs in the tan- bark world. That is an inheritance, perhaps, of his farm boy days in Ken- tucky. That daughter is Mrs. Pryor Combs, who, under her malden name of Loula Long, exhibited at the recent horse show here in W n. His elder daughter has been a resident of Father a Practical Man, His father was a practical, methodical man who believed in doing. He often | told his son he was “too ambitious to | n‘s«?nf ) ; or a time the youth remained | with his parents in Kentucky, dreaming | some, when he was not gathering hickory nuts before and after school hours “or stripping blue grass with his | hands. Occaslonally his father would | give him a runt pig. In such ways the | boy made some money and saved it. Like other 'm".l,fi Kentuckians, his | dreams turned to the opportunities be- | yond the Mississippl. So one morning in 1873 young Long started for Kansas | City, where he had an uncle whom he had never met. A butcher shop was his first unsuccessful business ‘Venture. Next year was “grasshopper year,” with a lot of cro) lestroyed. At the sug- gestion of his uncle that money might be made in cutting wild grass and turn- ing it into hay, young Long with two | companions started - for Columbus, | Kans,, and stacked 300 tons of hay. Cut too late, the hay became unsale- | able. But some lumber they had ship- ped to build a shed for the hay they did sell at & good profit. That smail sale was the turning point in the young | man’s career, a small foundation™ upon | which he built a great fortune, friends had embarked in the lumber | business. Today, as chairman of the| board of the Long-Bell Lumber Co., his mills turn out & million feet of lumber a day. A conservative estimate of his fompany’s output over the years has been placed at 10,000,000,000 feet of | lumber, which has gone mostly into the building of American homes, Has Built on Square Dealing. single-business enterprise City on a policy of square dealing and fairness to employes, his competitors and the public. The most spectacular event in his business career was the building of Longview, Wash. Here a modern city was built from the ind up on a ncelved and well defined plan. It & population of 5,000 on its first birthday, and at the close of 1929 there were 12,000 residents. Character-building is perhaps the keynote of Mr. own goal in life. From early manhood he has been iden- tified with the Disciples of Christ, over whose international sessions he was chosen to preside this year. For many years he has generously supported the work carried on by this body of Chris- tians, not just with money, but with his time and his mind. He was chair- Within two weeks he and his two | gD t Mr. Long has built up the largest in Kansas |, the Capital many years, being the wife of Capt. Hayne Ellis of the United States Navy.

BERLIN, October 14.—After an hour of n’hnnr xlleo quelled rioting in the vicinity of Potsdamerplatz early this morning. | The disturbance developed when thea- | ter crowds stopped to see the destruction wrought by Fascist bands yesterday dur- ing a riot incident to opening of the Reichstag. Rowdies saw an opportunity to start window smashing all over again, and m.l'hlpl to profit by pillaging. They ulted the police, who cleared the Potsdamerplatz with their clubs after an hour's encounter. Karl Zoergiebel, chief of police, said virtually none but Fascists had par- ticipated in the attacks on the Jewish stores yesterday. Police patrols, both mounted and afoot, guarded the busi- ness section of the city today. Diet Session Begun. Within a stone's throw of the shop windows broken in yesterday's rioting the Prussian Diet convened today for & session expected to be stormy, inasmuch as the Fascists have been clamoring for dissolution of the Diet ever since the September 14 elections. They claim that if membership in the body were subject to a new plebiscite they prob- ably would dominate it. Therefore the Rightist parties are planning & move of dissolution to force new elections, but with the Centrists determined to support Prime Minister Braun's coalition government, there ap- parently is no chance of such a carrying. The Socialist-Centrist-Demo- cratic coalition numbers 228 out of 449 seats. It is this very fact which particularly irritates the Prussians, who contend that the present Diet does not represent “awakened Prussia.” The present strength of the Fascist! in the Diet is only six seats. Press Condemns Outrages. ‘The German press virtually as a unit condemned 's outrages, par- ticularly their ant{-Semitic tinge. Dr. Hugenberg’s Natlonalist organs insinu- ated that the trouble was started by Communist provacateurs. ‘The Pascist party declared their par- tisans had nothing to do with the rowdyism. Their declaration, however, elicited derisive comments from the Liberal and Leftist press. Deutsche Aligemeine Zeitung, repre- senting the banking, shipping and in- dustrial interests, pointed out that Dr. Hitler cannot escape his personal re- sponsibility for yesterday's events.
