STEWART AGCUSED OF HIDING BONDS Indigna Oil Chairman Calls Rockefeller Charges “Libel” New York, Fch. 11 (#—(‘onceal- meent of bonds by Colonel Robert W. Stewart is stressed in a 72-page let- ter sent to stockholders of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana today by Winthrop W. Aldrich of the proxy committee, headed by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. The document includes excerpts| from testimony before the senate committee which investigated the Teapot Dome scandal and quota- tions from the opinion of the su- of the Continental Trading Company was declared to have been illegi- timate. The letter sets forth in detail the connection of Colonel Stewart with the Continental Company and charges that he concealed from the dircctors of the Standard of Indiana for six years that part of the profits —which had been turned over to him in the form of liberty bonds “which he knew as early as Novem- her. 1921, belonged either to the \wliie Crude Oil Purchasing Company or the Standard Oil Com- pany of Indiana Charges Secret Trust Tt zocs on to say that Stewart istead of disclosing this fact to hig board of directors and turning over the bonds, immediately created a scerot trust making a subordinate employe of the company trustee, and did not himself keep, or did he require the trustee to keep, any rec- ord whatever of the transaction ex- cept the trust agreement written in pencil which was kept in his (Stew- art’s) own safe deposit box.” “After Colonel Stewart testified bhefore the senate committee he was tried under indictments for con- tempt of the senate and for perjuty in his testimony before the senate committee and was acquitted In both trials,” tha letter said. Attitude Criticized “It was not, however, the charge of contempt or the senate or of per- jury, but his conduct over a period of years in connection with the| transactions of the Continental Trading Company and his attitude toward his own company, toward the public and toward Stewart that created the present controversy. “The request for the resignation by Mr. Rockefeller was based upon a personal promis: of Colonel Stew- art that if Mr. Rockefeller mani- fested a loss of confidence in his 1 uNcLE AMos,—D'You Kdow WHAT uMcLe TJAKE WAS -TELLING “ME 2 «wTHAT HE FLewW WITH LINDBERGH OVER 10 PARIS, e BUT HE NEVER -ToLD ANYBODY ABOUT IT, 'cAUSE HE WANTED LINDY -To GET ALL T CREDIT! canne “HEY REACHED FRAMCE, He JUMPED ouT Ik A PARACHUTE, So management he would resign.

Al Says Stewart Chicago, Feb, 11 UP—Col. Robert W. Stewart, through his personal at- torney, pronounced as ‘“nothing short of a cowardly and dastardly libel” statements made public in New York opposing Stewart’s re- election to the 8tandard Oil Com- pany of Indiana's board of directors. Albert W. Hopkins, the attorney. issued a statement last night which he said, was in answer to two at- tacks on Col. Stewart published in New York, one unsigned, and the other by Winthrop W. Aldrich, New York lawyer, a brother-in-law of ! John I\ Rockefeller, Jr., and cha man of the Rock-feller proxies com- mittee seeking Stewart’s defeat at the stockholders’ meeting March 7. The Aldrich statement was des- cribed by Hopkins as *‘a cunningly drawn docmum~>nt to deceive the stockholders and the public,” and the lawyer further described it as “untrue in many place: Churches in War on Companionate Marriage New York, Feb. 11 (P—Com- panionate marriage was branded as anti-social in a report by the com- mittee on marriage and home of the federal council of churches of Christ in America, made public yesterday. The report said that a mariage for life is the only union that the church can teach. The report said that instead of “life long companionship which purposes to overcome all difficul- ties and welcome children,” com- panionate marriage ‘“starts with self-regarding motives and raises the doubt as to the future.” “The church itself has much to answer for” in the present state of affairs the committee believes, in that “the clergy as a rule have not given themselves energetically to the social and economic struggle for the lives of the hard pressed masses of the population.” The committee is headed by Bishop James Cannon, Jr., of the Methodist church south, as chair- man, the Rev. Howard C. Robbins, recently resigned dean of the Ca- thedral of 8t. John the divine, as vice chairman, and the Rev. Worth M. Tippy of New York as secretary.

Both boys are essentially hitters and either one may drop when the heavy artillery is loosed. Kaplan has been slugging hard in batting practice at the Charter Oak gym. Hartford, where he has been train- ing and the feeling is that he will bring down the Detroit florist. At least, Trainer Dinny McMahon fig- ures McGraw is in for a man's sized drubbing, inasmuch as Kap and Mc- Graw have been on the floor before for the full count, it shows that it can be done. Kap was stopped by Billy Wallace and Jimmy McLarnin and the latter also put over the lethal larrup on McGraw. McGraw will celebrate his 25th birthday on February 15, the day following the fight, and it will be a real present to himself on the occa- sion if he can pick up the papers on that date and read that he beat Kaplan. He started boxing in 1922 and has fought such boys as Luis Vincentini, Bobby Garcia, LEddie (Kid) Wagner, Red Chapman, Tod Morgan, Sid Terris four times, Stanley Loayza twice and Ace Hud- |Kins twice. He also met Sammy Mandell for the lightweight cham- pionship in Detroit on July 16, 1927, losing the decision. Inasmuch as Mandell later proved his worth as a [title holder by decisively beating Jimmy McLarnin, McGraw’s defeat was no real blot on his record. The Detroit Greek is regarded as one of the best club fighters in the game today and the match with Kaplan, who likes to slug too. is considered a masterpiece of matchmaking on the part of Tony Paolillo. As a mat- ter of fact the contest has been in |the works over a period of months ‘Hnd Paolillo reports that New York {clubs tried to get them together for years. Paired on the preliminary card will be Eddie Lord and Tony Di- Palma of New Haven in the eight round semi-final; Al Beauregard of Taftville and Irish Hughey Devlin of New London, eight rounds; Mar- vin Schecter of New York and Rocky Knight of Detroit, six rounds, and Frankie Marino of New Haven and Johnny Murray of Waterbury, four rounds. Lord and DiPalma are junior lightweights and among the best in Connecticut; Beauregard and Devlin ; Schecter and Knight, heavyweights and Murray and Mari- 'no, featherweights. SEZ. L. J.

Arcad Years 392 Main DAIGNAULT BOWS T0 BISHOP HICKEY Rbode Island French Faction Would Rejoin Catholic Chrrch Providence, R. I, Feb. 11 (@— Elphege J. Daignault and 58 of the 62 French-Americans who last year were excommunicated with him from the Roman Catholic church for their combined legal action against the head of the Providence diocese, have agreed to ‘“repent” and seck reinstatement in the church. Their action was taken yesterday at a secret meeting called by Mr. Daignault in De Nevers hall, Woon- socket. Tndividually and collectively the excommunicants voiced their in- | tention of secking immediately the rgiveness of ecclesiastical author- Rt. Rev. William Hickey. bishop of Providence, when he learned last night of the reported action of the excommunicated mem- bers of the several parishes, gaid that the news was the “greatest con- solation that I have had since the unfortunate movement was launch- ed.” The meeting was called at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and was adjourned at 7. Before midnight, six of the ousted church members had signed the regulation forms, thus taking the step toward reem- bracing the practice of the Catholic religion. Rev. nees Desmarais, pastor of the St. James church at Manville, witnessed their signatures at his rectory. Daignault remained silent wWhen he was charged with insincerity by more than a dozen of those at yes- terday's meeting. He was accused of having insisted that none of those who had signed the papers bringing court action against the bishop, the vicar general, the pastors and trus- tees of 12 parish corporations, ever submit to the demands of the sacred congregation of the Holy Council at A NOTE how the dynamic symmetry of Chrysler foemder comtours and wheels expresses the very essence of life and motiom, fust asdo their counter- parts in the ‘ wave border” of the classic master- pieces of architecture and design.

Bishop Hickey, as head of the various church corpora- tions was summon:d into court to answer the suit. The supreme court 'w‘er dismissed the cases. On January 12, Daignault was formally warned by Bishop Hickey, acting upon the authority of the #a- cred congregation of the council at Rome, that if he had not repented | on or before Easter, he would be | placed under interdiction and forbid- den to enter any Roman Catholic church. | 'Gangsters’ Victim Names Assailants Chicago, Feb. 11 (#—Pedro Lo- casto was ‘“taken for a ride” last night, shot seven times, and thrown into the diteh skirting a lonely road (side.
