OTTAWA, Ontario, March 20.— ‘The white man’s law has come to the Far North and’ so Kabala, whose 70 years bore heavily on his bent shculders, was forced to wait for & natural death instead of being strangled by his two stal- wart sons as he had requested them to do. This is one of the grim tales told in the annual report of the royal Canadian mounted police, available yesterday in book form. W. Gibson, an inspector cf the Hudson Bay Co., reported the in- cident. He sald the sons came to him and told him the father had asked them to kill him. He warned them to disobey him. A few days later Kabala died and Gibson found he had dled natual- Wy, although all the Eskimos be- lieved the sons had strangled him. VIRGINJAN HELD IN'SHOOTING CASE Hit-and-Run | Arrested as Suspect, Man Questioned in Motorman’s Wounding. Arrested In the investigation of a hit- and-run accident case, William F. Cole 25 years old, was grilled for more than with the shooting of James H. Lane. The committee unanimously agreed “as to the necessity,” therefore, for some form: of effective control of the size of the family and spacing of chil- dren, and consequently of control of conception. It is recognized by ali churches and all physicians.” Cite Reasons for Control. ‘The causes of such necessity were listed as “too frequent and too numer- ous pregnancies,” “economic consider- ation” in poor families and “the prob- lems of overpopulation.” . ‘The committee was also in unanimous agrecment that “sex union between husbands and wives as an expression of mutual affection, without relation to procereation, is right. This is recognized by the Scriptures, by all branches of the church, by social and medical conductor-motorman on th: Congres Heights car line, who is in a seri condition at Casualty Hospital with a bullet wound in his abdomen. Cole, who said he owns a farm in Standardville, Va., was arrested near the White House last night by Police- man Harold E. Johnson, who was direct- ing traffic at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Fourteenth street. Commandeers Taxicab. Noticing that Cole’s automobile an- swered the description of one which struck and injured Margaret Williams, 21 years old, colored, at Massachusetts avenue and Second street, on March 8, Johnson commandzered & taxicab and pursued Cole. The Virginian was taken to the Traffic Bureau where police said he tried to attack Johnson with a black- science and by the good sense and idealism of mankind.” On the method of attaining these aims, however, the minority group dis- #ented in the following words: “In view of the widespread doubt among Christian people of the morality of the use of contraceptives, and the scruples experienced by many in mak- ing use of them, it appears to these members of the committee to be the plain duty of the Christian church, when con- trol of conception is necessary, to up- hold the standards of abstinence as the ideal, recognizing it as a counsel of per- fection, and that Christian morals are much more exalted than is generally supposed.” Bishop Dunn Disagrees. ‘The report was. criticized in state- ments by the Right Rev. John J. Dunn, Roman Catholic, vicar general and buhop auxiliary of New York, and by Prederick H. Knubel, pre!ldent of 2he Unl'fid Lutheran Church in ‘The Roman Catholic Church u not I-fllllud with the Federal Coun- cil “of Churches and the Intheran g:l:r’fih has only a “consultative” mem- ip.
