3 § PN ALONE SINKING CALLEDACTOF WAR Atack on Rum Ship Dononnced in Casadian House Ottawa, May 21 UP—Sinking of the Canadian schooner I'm Alone by s United States coast guard vessel has besn termed an act of war or an act of deliberate piracy on the fioer of the house of commons. C. H. Cahan, conservative mem- ber for 8t. Lawrence-St. George, in a speech declared that it the coast guard boat sank the schooner under direct instructions from American authorities, the sinking was an act of war. If the sinking was done witheut direct authority, but on the initlative of the commander of the coast guard ship, it was an act of | deliberate piracy, he asserted. The speaker criticized the Cana- dian minister for introducing the discussion of “'hot pursuit” into cor- respondence relating to the I'm Alone incident, saying that subject should have been left for the Amer. ican autherities to bring up. King Would Withold Discussion Premier Mackenzie King, defend- ing the course of his government in the matter of the I'm Alone, said he questioned the propriety of discuss- ing the subject while arbitration was pending. He said in answer to critici the reference to “hot pursui Canadian diplomatic correspondence the secretary of the United States treasury had made public ref- erence to the subject as a justifica- tion for the sinking. Cahan declared that in his opinion nothing in the United States prohi- bition laws gave to the coast guard the right to seize foreign ships be- vond the 12-mile limit and that therefore the sinking of the I'm Alone on the high seas, 215 miles from the coast, was illegal. He said that former Secretary of Btate Charles Hughes, who nego- tiated the treaty of 1924 with Great Brieain, had written to the British government that the treaty would not justify sgizure of a British ves- sel beyond the 12-mile limit. R. B. Bennett, conservative lead- er, supported Cahan in his criti- m of the minister for mentioning “het pursuit,” declaring that it was unwise. 8. W. Jacobs, liberal. of Cartier, said that the owners of the I'm Alone were satisfied with the status of the case.

CHURGHNEN RETAI DIVORGE GROUNDS Presbyterians Defeat Move to Ban Separation as Cause Montreat, N. C., May 21 (#—The | 69th general assembly of the Presby- terian church in the United States today had settled two of its major problems, the position of the church toward divorce and provi- sions for a ministers’ annuity fund. The chief issue left before it to- day, was the question .of possible union with other Presbyterian bod- ies. Charlottesville, Va., has been selected as the 1930 meeting place. The assembly yesterday reiterated its attitude toward divorce—recogni- tion of infidelity and prolonged sepa- ration as justifiable grounds. A pro- posal that the church recognize in- fidelity alone as grounds for divorce was defeated. Under the minister's annuity plan adopted, superannuated pastors will receive an income from a central fund. The fund is to be created through payments by each minister and his church amounting to one- tenth his annual salary. The fund, which will be administered by a central executive board, is expected after the first few payments to amount to $3,000,000. The assembly yesterday also con- sidered the old question of funda- mentalism versus modernism with discussion of an overture from Au- gusta Presbytery asking an investi- gation into the teachings of Dr. Ray Wetson 8mith, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, Little Rock, Ark. The assembly referred the matter to the Arkansas Presbytery for investigation.

READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS | FOR BEST RESULTS | NEW HEARING HELD IN LEONARDI SUIT Death of Judge Roche Necessi- tated Taking Evidence Again ' A new hearing made necessary because of the death of Judge Har- ry P. Roche, who presided at the previous hearing but died before he could hand down a decision, was held yesterday in the case of Maria C. Leonardi against Caesar Impel- luso. There were several counts in the suit. It involved the purchase of a halt a million marks worth of Ger- |man railroad stock for befween $33 and $50 in 1923. A decision in favor of the defendant was handed down. Madia C. Léonardi, through Attor- ney 8. Gerard Casale, asked $1,600 damages from Caesar Impelluso. She claimed that in March of 1927 she gave to one Spagni who was act- ing for the defendant, Impelluso, her note for $1,200 and later she had Michael Reale transfer Hartford property to Impelluso to satisfy the note. He agreed to cancel the note but did not do so, she claimed in her first count. 8he wanted the note can- celled. In the second count the plaintiff claimed she authorized the defen- dant in 1928 as her agent to buy bonds in the Hamburg Railread Co., a German corporation, to the amount of $50. According to the plaintiff he refused to deliver them and she asked the court to make him turn them over or give her $100 damages. Attorney Angela Lacava repre- sented the defendant, who claims to have loaned the plaintiff $130 she never repaid. The defendant further claimed he paid many small bills for her. In answer to the claim that she transferred property to him, Attor- ney Lacava said the defendant ar- ranged to make repairs to the prem- ises and to have an adjustment of finances when the property was sold. It has not yet been sold. In making the decision, Attorney Harry H. Milkowitz, aoting judge, took into consideration the defen- dant’s counter-claim for $150 dam- ages and awarded him $94.17.
