Nationalist northward drive last year.He was forced to withdraw | from Peking, however, and while on j his way north to his stronghold at j Mukden he was severely wounded | when his train was blown up.He died a little later of his wounds.BISHÔPHEÜ FAVORS BREAK WITH COMMONS TREATY IMPOSES MORAL OR LEGAL OBLIGATION ON U.S.Self-defence Not Touched in Anti-war Pact\u2014Multilateral Treaty Clear On

Roberts and his family that endured from the late actor\u2019s youth to his old age.Roberts\u2019 mother had wished him to enter the ministry and his father-wanted him to learn a profession.Roberts chose the stage and remained an exile from his people all his life.The actor left his estate of $10,000 to Edward Roberts Higgins, above, of whom he was fond.Higgins formerly was an NEA Service artist at New York.WASHINGTON, Dec., 29.\u2014Publicity given to the verbatim report of Secretary Kellogg\u2019s recent testimony before the Senate committee on forign relations, discloses that he made an emphatic defence of the multi-lateral treaty renouncing war, and contended that it was well understood that nothing in the treaty imposed a moral or legal obligation on the United States to go to war against any nation violating its terms.He declared also that it was equally well understood by all signatories that the treaty did not take away the right or any signatory to adopt measures of self defence if its security was menaced.These things, said Secretary Kellogg, were made clear in the correspondence preceding the conclusion of the treaty, for that reason there was no necessity to attach any reservations or interpretative resolutions to the pact, he maintained, A Qisssiablisliinent Only Way of Relief for Church of England,' According to Bishop of Durham.CONFERENCE IS NOT DISTURBED

of unconsciousness.This has been definitely stated in the press, but neither the bulletins nor the unofficial palace statements mentions this condition.A larger crowd than usual for the last few days waited outside Buckingham Palace this morning to watch the arrival and departure of the doctors and the posting of the bulletin.Lord Dawson of Penn and Sir Hugh Rigby, the noted surgeon, arrived at

subterfuge of setting back the hands of the clock.The Senate last night adopted a budget and sent it back to the chamber with a number of modifications, none of which are of great importance.It is pow hoped that definite vote may be taken Sunday night or Monday morning.CLOSE SEARCH BEING MADE FOR NEGRO CONVICT Hundreds of Men Hunting for Trusty Wanted for Murder of J.D.Duvall and Kidnapping of Daughter at Darchman, Miss.(Associated Press Despatch) PARIS, Dec.28th\u2014President Dou-mergue, desiring a New Year s gift has hung up his glove instead of his stocking and has asked that handshaking on the first of January be limited to a few selected persons.The President of France hitherto had been obliged to start the New Year with a ten hour day, when with a set smile upon his face, he has had to shake the hands of some 2,600 prefects and under-prefects, deputies and senators, police chiefs and important men in the departments and provinces.This year M.Doumergue has requested Premier Poincare and the cabinet to limit the hand shaking to the ministers, the two Presidents of the Chamber of Deputies and Senate and the ambassadors and ministers frorp foreign countries.The presidential decision came as a shock to countless Frenchmen who are reported to look forward to the first of January as an opportunity to test the power of their grip upon the first citizen\u2019s hand.-«- (Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, Dec.29\u2014A cable has been received here from Senator Lome C.Webster, of Montreal, donating five thousand dollars to the Lord Mayor\u2019s Fund for the unemployed miners of Wales, and for which his royal highness the Prince of Wales made a special broadcast appeal.Sir Edward Kemp, of Toronto, also has donated a like amount.(Associated Press Despatch) DARCHMAN, Miss., Dec.29.\u2014 Hundreds of men aided by an aeroplane and bloodhounds, searched in vain throughout yesterday for Charley Shepherd, negro trusty at the state prison farm here, wanted for the murder of J.D.Duvall, carpenter, sergeant at the farm, and for the kidnapping and possible murder of his 18 year old daughter, Ruth.Duvall, fifty-five or sixty years old, and the father of eight children, was found slain on the floor of the dining room of his home early yesterday morning.His throat had been slashed by a butcher knife and his head beaten with a hammer and ice pick.The w-eap-ons were lying nearby.Mrs.Duvall, who discovered the body, called to her daughter, a high school student, and receiving no response, went to her room.The girls\u2019 bed had been occupied, but she was missing.There were bloodstains on the bed, which Lieut.Fox, superintendent of the state penitentiary, said appeared to have been caused by a bloody finger drawn § across it.j Fox believed that Shepherd, for-j ty-one years old, serving a twenty 1 years\u2019 sentence for manslaughter, entered the Duvall home to do violence to Miss Duvall, and that her \u2019 father, hearing a noise, investigat-: ed and was killed by the negro.: Fox\u2019s theory is that Shepherd then proceeded to the young woman\u2019s : room and carried her away.DEATH CLAIMS WELL-KNOWN OLD CITIZEN OF MONTREAL (Canadian Press Despatch) LONDON, Dec., £9.\u2014 (By Thomas Champion, London manager of the Canadian Press)\u2014Right Rev.Herbert Henson, Bishm of Durham has become convinced that disestablishment is the only way of relief for the Church of England if she is to maintain her self respect.He sets forth his position in a remarkable article in the forthcoming number of the nineteenth century review.The ^Bishop first touches on the plea that those who so successfully led the opposition o\" the revised prayer book in the House of Commons, notably Sir Wm.Joynson-' Hicks, Home Secretary and Sir Thomas Inskip, Attorney-General, were more truly representing the church feeling at large than the Bishops and ecclesiastical assemblies.\"The affection of disaffected individuals to represent the Church of England more truly and authoritatively than its own -e-presentative assemblies is equally impudent and an anarchistic,\u201d declares Bishop Henson.\u201cFirst because it reflects an exorbitant egotism, secondly because no government in church or state could proceed its right to obedience could at any time be upset by a discontented minority.\u201d The Bishop says: \u201cThe House of Commons has destoyed the possibility of restoration of discipline within the church as long as establishment is maintained.\u201d He points to three roots of the present disorder, first, the spread of an ecclestical theory among a section of the Anglo-Catholies inconsistentii with any honest recognition of authority; second, the impracticable character of the rubrich in the present prayer book; and third, the conscientious repudiation of the ecclesiastical courts by a large part rtf the English clergy.Still Firmly Believed in Psa-American Conference Circles that Paraguay-Bolivia Dispute Will Be Settled Favorably.WASHINGTON, D.C., Dec.29.\u2014 Disquieting official reports from Paraguay which reached here yesterday telling of continued Bolivian military activities on the disputed border between the two countries, failed to disturb the firm belief in Pan-American Conference circles that the conciliation of the controversy through the parley was well on its way.The conference\u2019s delegates held the view that it was highly unlikely that either of the disputing countries would openly pursue a warlike policy after having accepted the good offices of the conference and following the receipt of the parley\u2019s draft protocol of conciliation.ARE SEEKING INJUNCTIONS RE DIVIDENDS Writ Issued at Osgood Hall Yesterday Against Steel Company

of dividends are said to be involved in a writ issued at Osgood Hall yesterday against the Steel Company of Canada, Limited, of Hamilton, Ont., by Thomas Ramsay and Francis A.Magee, both of Hamilton, two ordinary shareholders of the company.The suit is the outcome of the stock split up approved by steel shareholders on November 14th.At that time it was agreed that four new shares of no par value should be issued for every one of the old shares, preferred and common.The old shares had a par value of $t00.Ramsay and Magee, who declare themselves to be suing on behalf of all common stockholders, claim that there is owing on the common stock some 43'i per cent arrears of dividends.They rely in part on a clause in the company\u2019s letters patent which relates what must be done \u201cin case of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company.\u201d This clause states, they say, that after the preferential dividend of seven per cent per annum is paid \u201cthe holders of such (preferred) shares shall participate rateably with the holders of the issued ordinary shares in the distribution of net profits after the holders of the ordinary shares have received dividends equal to those paid on the preferred shares.\u201d Evangeline Booth Says She Will Attend Meeting of High Council of Salvation Army in London on January 8- (Associated Press Despatch) LONDON, Dec., 28.\u2014 Evangeline Booth, Commander of the Salvation Army in the United States and its possessions, on her arrival here today gave out a message for the United States which has been prepared for the Associated Press.It said in part: \u201cI have been summoned to London to attend a meeting of the High Council of the Salvation Army on speech he had delivered, explanatory | January 8th.This meeting has been of the treaty, set forth the position n\u2019ia(^® necessary> ^ regret to say, by of the United States, and as copies nlnesg of my brother, General of this had been transmitted to all Bramwe.l Booth, and the effect of I the Governments concerned, he felt s illness upon the .world-wide i that there was a thorough under- operations of the Salvation Amy.| standing that all the rights, includ-l\twould obviously be improper jing that all the rights, including for me to^ express any ^pinion on the j those under the Monroe Doctrine, .! claimed by this country were fully protected by the treaty.Went Into Detail, Questioned by members of the committee, Mr, Kellogg went into ! detail with respect to the note of jSir Austen Chamberlain, clarifying | the right of the British Government ¦ to ado-pt measures of self defence j under the pact.He also surveyed the Locarno security pacts and explained :how the obligations imposed by them j were not inconsistent with the provisions of the multi-lateral treaty.1 Explaining what he meant in saying that the treaty imposed no obligation ;on the United States to submit to ; any tribunal a question concerning j its right it self defence, and that the United States still possessed the right to determine for itself what constituted self defence, Mr.Kellogg said: \u201cThe right of self defence is not limited to territory in the continental United States, for example.It means that this Government has a right to take such measures as it believes necessary to the defence of the country, or to prevent things that might endanger the country; but the United States must be the judge of that, and it is answerable to the public opinion of the world if it is not an honest defence; that is all.\u201d Secretary Kellogg was questioned closely as to his speech interpreting the anti-war pact.In mentioning that every nation concerned received a copy of this speech in order that it could understand the position of the U.S.Government he quoted a pertinent paragraph address as follows: \u201cSince, however, the purpose of the United States insofar as possible to eliminate war as a factor ' in \u2022international relations, I cannot j state too emphatically that it will | not become a party to any agree- j ment which directly or indirectly, j : expressly or by implication, is a military alliance.The United States cannot obligate itself in advance to use its armed forces against any ; other nation in the world.It does not.believe that the peace of the \u2022.vorid, or of Europe, depends upon or can he assured by.treaties of j I military alliance, the futility of I which as guarantors of peace is re- ! peatedly demonstrated in the pages | of history.\u201d -«- MONETARY TIMES REPORTS NUMBER OF NEW
