Energy and Audacity. The others of the Ministry are “young blood,” including Herriot timself, whose experience in the country’s government is confined _to a few months as Food Dictator in the war. The Premier, how- ever, has behind him a record of 20 years’ successful administration in Lyons, which passes for the best governed city in France. The com- bination is conceded on all sides to contain an immense amount of energy and a full measure of au- dacity. The Premier has given repeated indications that his foreign policy will be that of the gloved hand, which will, first of all, be offered to Great Britain—as soon as the chamber hae passed upon the min- isterial declaration and accorded the Cabinet a vote of confidence. It is expected that after Herriot and the British Prime Minister, Ramsay MacDonald, have gone over the European situation, ar- rangements will be made for a full allied conference with reference to application of the Dawes plan; the allies then will meet the Germans an an endeavor to bring about a decisive and final agreement on reparations and prepare the way for the entry of the Germans into the League of Nations and an eventual act of mutual guarantees covering all Europe. Clementel will haye. perhaps the most difficult task of the new Gov- ernment in funding France’s float- ing debt and finding money to con- tinue the reconstruction of the devastated regions. He has the ad- vantage of wide acquaintance with the bankers of the world through his connection with the Interna- has extended experience in eco- nomics and finance that equips him for the great task. The new Government has a ma- jority estimated all the way from 30 to 100 to rely on at the begin- ning, which is deemed rather nar- row. The opposition. however, will, it is believed, give Herriot full op- portunity to show what he intends to do before offering obstruction. FRENCH PRESIDENT IS A PROTESTANT By Radio to the Post-Dispatch and the Chicago Dally News. eldest PARIS, June 14.—The daughter of the Catholic Church, the country of St. Bartholomew's eve and the banishment of the Hueguenots, has elected a Protes- tant President. Gaston Doumer- gue, the new President of France, is a Calvinist (similar to a Presby- terilan fn America). ‘This unprece- dented event shows how complete has become the separation of church and state, how widespread the principle of tolerance, how small the influecene of religion in politics in France. Millions of devout Catholics still exiet here, it is true, particularly among the women of the small towne and villages, whose feelings undoubtedly will be hurt by Fri- day's events. But their influence upon politics is nil. Four Catholic cures, members vf Parliament, were among those who voted for M. Doumergue. These cures belonged to the bloc nation- al and were enemies of Paul Pain- leve.

Ipso facto, the President of France is a canon of the church of St. John in Rome. At least he al- ways has been so until the present. Speculation is rife as to whether the Pope will permit this honor to be conferred upon a Protestant. If not, this may bring a break be- tween the Pope and the Quai d’Or- say—a break which has b®en: brew- ing since the elections of May 11 and which is expected to take the form of the abolition of the French Embassy to the Vatican. Commenting on the new chief executive, Mme. De Fraya, France’s leading clairvoyant and the succes- sor of Mme Thebes, predicts that his term of office will last only two years and that-it will mark the cli- max of a highly troubled period in politics. re In contradiction of her predic- tions, however, other obscervers say that M. Doumergue’s term should be long and quiet. Elected by votes of the right, acceptable to the conservatives as well as lib- erals, he stands a good chance of remaining in power, even if the po- litical tide turns again in favor of the bloc national. Highest Paid Republican Chief. The salary of the French Persi- dent is 1,800,000 francs a “year (about $91,160 at present exchange rates) including the allOwance for entertainment but excluding the travel allowance. He is the highest paid Republican chief in the world. Besides his stipend he gets the free use of four palaces and does not have to worry about furniture or servants. It is a little known fact, but nev- ertheless a fact, that he can in- habit the chateau at Fontainebleu, where lived Napoleon and the an- cient Kings. Usually, however, the President prefers the chateau at Rambouillet for his summer resi- dence.

METHODIST BISHOP DOUBTS LEGALITY OF CONFERENCE Meeting to Be Held at Chattanooga Will Have to Pass on Section iit of Church Law. Fant tated F NASHVILLE, Tenn., June 14.— Whether the Bishops of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church, South, act- ef within their authority under the discipline of the church in calling & special session of the General Conference to be held at Chatta- nooga, July 2, to consider unifica- tion with the Methodist Episcopal Church, is a matter to be deter- mined when the session convenes, it is indicated in a statement made public here tonight by Bishop Col- lins Denny of Richmond, Va., one of the five dissenting bishops. Bishop Denny maintains that paragraphs 37 and 38 of the chap- ter of the discipling entitled, “Of the general conference,” which have been in the discipline for 58 years and which authorize the Bishops to call a special confer- ence, are illegal. “These paragraphs.” he said. “were not referred to the annual conferences, nor did they, accord- ing to the record, receive in the general conference the requisite two-thirds vote.” “Nor does any lapse of years.” Bishop Denny continued, “aalans that constitutional which was not constitugionally adopted.” Bishop Denny quoted the Bishops as having stated in 1914 that while there had been “some variations in practice, inadvertent as we must believe, made without challenge, and without debate,” no part of the chapter empowering the Bishops to Call a special session of the con- ference should be legally open to alteration, amendment or change.” He then stated: “It has been said substantially that the Bishops are better quali to construe the law of the church all the lawyers in the*ountry.” at ‘CO-OPERATION WITH REICH IS HERRIOT’S PROGRAM (Continued From Page One.) the reparations problem.

A modus vivendi between France and Ger- many is therefore desirable.” Herriot seemed pessimistic re- garding events in the Far East, predicting that the United States; decision concerning Japanese im- migration ‘will have serious con- sequences to the whole world, with inevitable clashes due to the neceés- sity for Japan finding room abroad for her surplus ropulation.” He added, “Evidently Japan will make a peaceful invasion of Mon- golia, China, Brazil, Peru and New Caledonia. But will that suffice? Probably Japan will then be obliged to be in a struggle for ex- istence that will shake western civilization for biological laws are unconquerable.”’ BUTLER GIVES OUT PERSONNEL OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Selections Complete Working Or- ganization of Republican National Committee.

None of those seen would discuss these subjects for quotation, but many of them indicated they were disposed to ignore the klan by name, but write a plank on re- ligious freedom, such as Thomas Jefferson stood for. One Southern Senator declared that the Ku Klux Klan was not big enough to demand an antiklan plank in the Demo- cratic platform, but he would em- phatically declare that no sect, or- der or creed, which interferes with religious freedom, should be sanc- tioned by the Democratic party anywhere. Southern delegates among the Congressmen here are in favor of more vigorous enforcement of the prohibition laws. They will oppose any declaration for a change in the Volstead act. No platform planks have been framed by the Democratic mem- bers in conferences here, but all of the outstanding issues have been discussed. It was explained by some of these at the informal gath- érings that they have reached no agreement on foreign relations and religious freedom. APPEAL 1$ GRANTED IN GUCKENHEIMER CASE Bail Is Furnished for All of the De- fendants Who Had Been Sen- tenced to Prison. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURG, June 14.—An ap- peal was granted late today in the cases of the A. Guckenheimer & Brothers Co. and six individuals convicted of removing 90,000 gal- lons of bonded whisky from the company’s plant on counterfeit per- mits. BWarlier in the day sentences ranging from six months fn jail to two years in the Federal peniten- tiary at Atlanta had been imposed and new trials refused in Unite’ States District Court by Judge F. P. Schoonmaker. Louis Fargas, vice president of the company, and Lewis Brown, a director of the concern, who were sentenced to two years in the peni- tentiary and fined $10,000 each, and the company, which was fined $10,000, were held under $15,00v bail each, while William J. Ferris, former Government prohibition agent, sentenced to serve two years in prison, wag held under $6000 ball. For William Dickerman and E. C. Little, truckmen, each fined $2000 and sentenced to one year and one day at Atlanta, and George Beck, another truckman, who was sentenced to six months in fail, bonds were fixed at $10,000 each. All furnished bail and were _ re- leased. Joseph Tito, a truckman, convict- ed in the same case, was reported to be too ill to appear in court to- day and he will be sentenced later. PARLIAMENT ADJOURNS AFTER KIDNAPING OF ITALIAN DEPUTY No Official Information t Fate of Socialist Member of Chamber. Special Cable to the Pést-Dispatch. ROME, June 14.—Parliament adjourned indefinitely yesterday, after eighteen days of life, as a result of the supposed kidnapjng of the Socialist Deputy Giacomo Matteotti Tuesday. The deputy, it is said, was seized by five men as he was on his way to Parliament to make a speech against the Government. He has not been heard from since. An unconfirmed report last eve- ning was that his body has been found in Lake Cracciano, 18 miles from Rome. Police announce ‘the arrest of three suspects, but with- hold the names. Premier ussolini expressed great indignation at the crime and told the Chamber of Deputies be- fore adjournment he would bring the guilty «to justice no matter what their political status. The disappearance of Matteotti, known as the “Millionaire Social- ist” member of the Chamber of Deputies, today brought about the resignation of the Under-Secretary of State Finzi. He explained that he was resigning in order to de- fend himself “against the libelous accusations spread aguinst him by the opposition in their allusions to selected as next year’s headquar- free when they speak of the inves- (Ugators of the Matteott! case.”, 1 | ‘SHUTTLE PLANE MAIL CONNECTION ~— FORST.LOUS Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral to Propose Supple- mentary Routes as Main- Line Feeders. EXTENSION WOULD SERVE 2,000,000 ane Additional Cost Very Slight, Says Official, Who Will Suggest Change After In- specting Equipment. Post-Dispatch Buréau, 20-23 Wyatt Building. WASHINGTON, June 14.—Comp- troller General John R. McCarl is willing St. Louis shall receive di- | rect benefit from the transconti- néntal air mail service which will start July 1, Assistant Postmaster General Paul Henderson said to- day. . ; cou Henderson has changed his original plan for a detour from the direct but unprofitable route of Chicago, lowa City and Omaha to a route including St. Louis, Kansas City and §t. Joseph, which would open the air mail service to ap- proximately 2,000,000 persons. He now plans to serve these people by ‘"eeders,” or “shuttle planes’ op- erating from St. Louis to Chicago or lowa City, and from Kansas City to Omah@® In this way, he said, the expense would be cut down considerably. Before Aug. 1, Col. Henderson will inspect the proposed route from Omaha to St. Joseph and Kansas City. That completed he will fly from Kansas City to St. Louis, inspect the landing fields there, and then continue his flight to Iowa City and Chicago. He depart- ed today for Chicago where he will remain until the transcontinental flyers have made their initial trip. Later he will inspect the lighting equipment from Chicago to Cleve- land now being installed, and that between Cheyenne and Rock Springs, Wyo. He has already in- spected the equipment from Chi- cago to Cheyenne. Law Permits Changes. Col. Henderson intended to ask Comptroller McCarl immediately for a ruling as to whether the air mail service appropriation of $2,- 750,000 could be used to put St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph on the transcontinental route. Be- cause of pending legislation, how- ever, he decided to wait until Con- gress had adjourned. Now he in- tends to wait until he has made his inspection of the Missouri routes. The law under which the appro- priation was made stated that the route should be from New York to San Francisco by way of Chi- cago and Omaha. It would seem that this would allow the Postmas- ter General discretionary powers on the intervening cities, butf since the defeat of Senator Lodge's bill to extend the air mail service to Boston, Col. Henderson fs afraid that the Comptroller will rule that congressional enactment is nec- essary to give gervice to the Mis- souri cities. Senator Lodge’s Dill, which passed the Senate, but was killed in the House the closing day of the session, would have had the transcontinental terminal in Bos- ton. Col. Henderson said he would base his arguments to the Comp- troller on the increased revenue the “shuttle plane” service would give. To Serve 2,000,000. “We are primarily interested,” he said, “in extending this service to 2,000,000 more people, but we also want to do all we can for St. Louis to show our great apprecia- tion of the interest the city has taken in flying. At the meet last year, the city turned out almost to aman. Never have I seen such en- thusiasm.”’ “The shuttle planes,” he con- tinued, “will give St. Louls and Kansas City the same service they would receive Hy being on the regular route. The flying time from St. Louis to Chicago is about an hour and a half. The St. Louis shuttle planes would leave about two hours before the transconti- nental planes were due in Chicago. To catch the eastbound plane scheduled to arrive in Chicago at 7:35 a. m., the shuttle plane would leave St. Louis about 4 a. m.; to catch the westbound transconti- nental flyers, due in Chicago at 6:15 p. m., the St. Louis planes NEW MOVE BY WOMAN WHO LASHED PROSECUTOR Gots to Topeka to Day Arson Case [ Before State Attorney- Miss Lucy Mallory, who yesterday used a riding whip on Samuel J. Shively, County Attorney of Miami County, at Paola, at the same time ‘accusing him of “double-crossing” her in the prosecution of an arson case, today went to Topeka, where, she announced, she will lay \the matter before Attorney-General Griffith. Miss Mallory was placed under a peace bond of $1000 after the whipping. While in Kansas City today ste | conferred with H. E. Markweil, Deputy Fire Marshal of Kansas, who investigated the destruction by fire of the opera house in Paola, owned by Miss Mallory. She charged the County Attorney with delaying the trial of A. Tiede, ac- cused of arson in connection with the burning of. the building. The opera house, inherited oy Miss Mallory; burned Oct. 27, 1921. It was just across the street from fire headquarters and Miss Mallory declared she carried only $10,000 insurance on the building because of that fact. When the building burned, Miss Mallory asserted, it was an $87,000 loss to her. Tiede, who operated a garage and service station in the building, was charged with starting the fire and has already been tried twicé on the charge. Both trials resulted in hung juries. At the time of the fire Miss Mal- lory, who had apartments in the building and who was educated at Vassar College, had a git! friend from Vassar visiting her. They nar- rowly. escaped. Masonic Clube Parade in New York By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, June 14-—A color- ful parade of 15,000 members of the Masonic fraternity, members of the National League of Ma- sonic Clubs, which is holding its annual convention here, was the chief of various flag day cer- emonies today. The parade was down flag-bedecked Fifth avenue and was reviewed by Gov. Smith, Mayor Hylan and Mayor Kendrick of Philadelphia and high Masonic dignitartes. would leave at 4 p. m. If Iowa City were selected as the connec- tion center the planes could leave St. Louis a few iminutes later. lowa City is a refueling base and only local mafl will be handled by the flyers. The Kansas City serv- ice would work on the same basis.” Big Saving of Time. St. Louis business men by this plan, Col. Henderson explained, would save about twenty hours on their letters to and from New York. ‘This ts considered impor- tant because of the saving of in- terest’ om money in transit. The schedule of the flyers has been ar- ranged with this point in view. The cost for this St. Louis serv- ice would be inconsiderable, Col. Henderson stated as both St. Louis and Kansas City Have available; landing fields. Col. Henderson al- so agid, he had not decided which St. uis field would be the best. One of these fields, he explained, would be lighted if the service were established. With the shuttle plan, service he considered that the three-mile flashes would not be necessary. ‘The actual running expenses for both St. Louis and Kansas City,”’ Henderson explained, “would not be rmoré than $50 a day.” Only two pilots would be necessary. We will have 85 planes after July 1 and we could spare several for this pur- pose.” Henderson said that plan had not progressed far enough to say how much the postal rates would be or whether the Chicago and Omaha hops would be consid- ered zones. Extensions Are Planned. The service starting’ July 1 is Merely an experiment, he ex- plained. If this proves 85 per cent efficient, meaning that if the planes operated on schedule that percent- age of the time, next year will see an extension of the air mail. In this case, St. Louis will surely be on the air mail map. Two plans for extension are now being considered by the postal au- thorities. The first is the resump- tion of the Minneapolis-New Or- leans service and second is a branch from Chicago to Los An- geles. fight in Mimsourl was ende yo, Daving failed to obte
