high as $1000000.
His arrest folowcd a continent-wide
search instituted in August by of-
H ficiat" of the church he served who
■ t f;* t feared he had met with foul
play. Embezzlement of the church
funds was only revealed when aud-
itors started checking over his books
in preparation to turn them over to
a temporary treasurer. It was later
discovered that a man answering his
description had served a term in the
federal prison at Atlanta for misuse
of the mails and a five months sen-
tence in the Hinton. Mo. jail.
He was located here three days
ago. but the arrest was not mad*
until fingerprint records identifica-
tion circulars and a picture of the
missing treasurer were obtained
from St. Paul Minn authorities.
Authorities said he icadily ad
mitted his identity and said he would
waive extradition proceedings.
He came here three weeks ago.

hotel and later moving into a private
family. He registered under the
name' of F. L. Le wis representing
himself ;s» a manufacturer of break-
fast foods. He said he was planning
a plant in Winnipeg.
An informant whose name police
refused to divulge but who is be
lieved to be a woman tipped them
off that a man answering fames'
description was living here. Deter-
lives were assigned to shadow the
suspect while requested pictures and

Carnes who had been connected
with the mission board for 1<» years
left Atlanta August 15 telling friends
he was going to Raleigh N. < on a
_ business trip. On August 25. Dr.
4 D B. Gray secretary of the board
revealed that Carnes had not re-
turned and asked for assistance in
locating him expressing apprehen- j
non that he had met with foul play.
Several days later after auditors
had been set to work on his books it
was announced large shortages had
been found. The funds of the board
were so depleted that the salaries of
missionaries remained unpaid for
some time and the work of the board
was considerably hampered.
Rewards totalling $5000 were of-
fered for bis capture and in the en
suing investigation his prison record
was revealed. The investigation also
brought to light the fact that he was
financing the careers of two would-
be movie stars.

treme cruelty but the couple re-
married in 191*. They have two

NEW YORK Sept. 29.—>4*1—A
bride of two weeks the socially
prominent Mrs. Charles Dwight Sa-
bin Jr. is dead victim of a fall
from the fourteenth floor of the
Hotel Weylin.
She was the second prominent
woman to be killed in such an acci-
dent in 24 hours. Mrs. Evelyn Rey-
nolds. daughter of Henry L. Stod-
dard. fell from her father's fifteenth
floor apartment in the Hotel May-
fair. Thursday night.
Mrs. Sabin complained of vertigo
on Thursday and was not well yes-
terday morning. She had returned a
short time before from a shopping
tour and was alone in the apartment.
When her husband returned to th»
hotel he was stunned by news of the
tragedy.
She and her husband were mar-
ried two weeks ago. Mrs. Sabin be-
fore her marriage was Miss Mary

this week. Governor Smith addressed
himself most earnestly to the farmer.
He has talked of other things as well
but it was the farm relief issue to
which he returned oftenest.
Campaigning over prohibition took
an astonishing turn when Senator
Bruce of Maryland gave currency to
a quickly denied story that Mr. Hoov-
er does not refuse a drink. Even
Chairman Raskob of the democratic
national committee joined in the de-
nial saying he knew that the repub-
lican nominee did not serve liquor in
his home.
Mrs. Willebrandt in Mar
Scarcely less unusual in a presi-
dential campaign was a renewed out-
burst of dissention over the religious
issue centering about Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt. assistant attor-
ney general at Washington.
She denied her series of speeches
to Ohio preachers had any other
purpose than to spur them to oppose
Smith because of his prohibition
views but even so. her disclaimer did
not quiet controversy within her own
party. While Walter Newton of the
republican speakers bureau -.aid he
was only sorry Mrs. Willebrandt
didn't have more time to devote to
her speechmaking Ohio's republican
committee described her activities as
"well intended but misguided.”
Hoover Still Silent
Following a policy he adopted early
in the campaign. Mr. Hoover re-
mained silent on all of these subjects
as he conferred with his aides at his
Washington headquarters. The re-
ply to Senator Bruce was made by
his Secretary George Akerson who
said Mr. Hoover had not taken a
drink since he became a constitu-
tional officer of the government.

MURDER CASE

To Court After Call-

‘Liar*
“You're a liar"' was the invective
hurled at District Attorney Georg-
Westervelt in the district court room
Friday afternoon by Dr. George S.
Stell. who was on trial on a murder
charge in which a criminal opera-
tion on Mrs. Stella Jones was alleg-
ed.
Dr. Stell was on the witness stand
at the time and the invective fol-
lowed a sharp exchange after the
district attorney had asked the wit-
ness if he had rot been “kicked out"
of the Cameron County Medical
association.
In a moment the courtroom was in
an uproar. Judge A. \V. Cunningham
ordered the jury to retire and then
addressed himself to Dr. Stell.
“That language is not permitted
in this court and I fine you 1100.'*
Judge Cunningham said.
Judge James A. Graham counsel
for the defense asked the leniency
of the court stating his client was
on trial for life or liberty. Dr. Stell
arose in the witness stand and
apologized to the court and district
attorney. The court then remitted
the fine and the jury was re-called.
Dr. Stell was the last witness

AND THEY DID—
« HI* AGO. Sept. 39.- "4b — A little
man with a package under his arm
stepped nervously from a taxicab
on Cass street early today.
From under the rim of his low-
drawn hat his eyes peered fur-
tively up and down the street.
Satisfied he wai. unobserved he
ran to the doorstep of 735 Cass de-
posited the package gingerly then
turned swiftly back to his cab and
was wisked away int othe night.
But a woman seated at a win-
dow nearby had seen him. Knowing
her Chicago she teiehponed police
that a bomb had been planted.
Police arrived. They circled
the package cautiously. They
elected one of their number to pick
up the parcel. He touched it care-
fully. Then he turned to his com-
panions and said: *
“This is more serious than a
bombing gentlemen. This is a
case of abandonment.'*
The officers then returned to the

‘NAVAL ACCORD
IS INIMICAL TO
U. S.’ - KELLOGG
Restrictions Placed
Only on Craft of
Great Importance to
Us Reply Avers
WASHINGTON Sept. 29.—'TV The
| Franco-Britis h naval accord is utter-
ly unacceptable to the United State*.
it is construed by Secretary Kel-
logg as proposing that sharp restric-
tions be placed upon vessels of par-
ticular value to the United States
with Great Britain left unlimited in
the construction of fighting craft of
a type essentially suited to her needs.
Further he feels it would defeat the
purpose of naval arms limitation and
lead to a “recrudescence of naval
[ competition disastrous to national
j economy.**
All this was made clear in identic
notes delivered to the London and
Paris governments yesterday in re
ply to the British note of July 31
and the French communication of
August. 3.
Sees Discrimination
' The American government seeks
no special advantage on the sea."
Secretary Kellogg said "but clearly
cannot permit itself to be placed in
a position of manifest disadvantage."
Such a situation he believes would
result from an application of the
French-English accord. From the
British note outlining the agreement
he drew- the conclusion that the lim-
itations to be determined on the bas-
is of the accord would deal with four
classes of war ships: Uapital ships
aircraft carriers of more than 1'Mltn
tons surface vessels of or below 10-
000 tons With guns of from six to
eight inches in calibre and subma-
rines of mote than 600 tons.
