Since arrangements for the mili

Governor Pierce said tod.iy that
ho would not interfere ulth the
tournament, but that in th-i Tuture

The governor today reeMved a pro
test from the Grand Army of the
Konuhllc nnd last night the Sa'em
post of Sons of Veterans adip'ed it
resolution of protest, terming the
tournament a desecration or the
day.
"I deeply regret,'1 said the
governor, "that the tournament
was dated for Decoration day. I
have studiously tried to prevent
automobile races nnd similar
amusements on Decoration day
and hereafter shall request that
the O. A. C. military tournament

Plan To Dispose of Ships

Washington, Way 27. (A. P.)
The shinning board voted today
to offer lor sale 200 suing for

In what number the ships would
be disposed of at first was not de
cided, but this is expected to be
determined when the scrapping
committee, comprising Chairman
O'Connor an Commissioners lien

Washington, May 27. (A. P.)
Chairman O'Connor of the ship
ping board is hoperul that Henry
Fo rd will sub in i t of f ers for t h c
purchase of 20 or 30 ships at least
for operation in addition to enter
ing the field for purchase of a
cons'.derablq number lor scrap
ping.
Plans and specvticalions of hlh
refrigerating ships have been sent
Mr. Ford with the expectation that
they may be purcnased and used
by him in carrying auto part? to
South Atlantic and South Ameri

Detroit, Mich., ?My 27. Will
iam B. Mayo, chief engineer of the
Ford Motor company, expects to
visit the east next week to inspect
seven of the 14 refrigerator ships
which the Pulled States shipping
board has tied up Idle at Hog Isl
and and Jones Point, N. V and
Caldwell, N. J.
If an examination shows I Ik.
vessels are Oiioiiny, refutable
at nominal cost and can be pur
chased at a reasonable price, It is
believed Henry rord plans to buy
them.
A copy righted story in the De
troit Free Pre.-e this morning say-
that Ford expects to use the voj
sels to carr motor cars to Ford
company branches along the South
Atlantic and South America coast
and bring back cargoes of fruit.
Mayo is quoted in the story as
saying that if the company can
"break even" on such a plan, it
will be tried out.
The article quotes the Ford
chief engineer as saying that if
the 400 steel vessels, which It wa
reported some time ago might lw
purchased by the Ford company
were bought they would be junk
ed. They would not be "worth
the money It costs to keep them
afloat," Mayo Is qivted as saying.
WASTE OF FUNDS
Washington, May 27. (A. P.)
The rum blockade Is described
in a statement published today by
the Association Against the Prohi
bition Amendment as a "throwing
away' of millions of dollars of the
tax payers' money "to stop less
than one per cent of the flow of
liquor in the United States."
"Figures compiled by Dr. Rufus
S. Tucker, Bpecial agent of the
department of commerce at the
direction of the department, show
that imported liquors to the
value of f40.000.OQO were smug
gled into the country In 1924,"
said the statement.
"He estimates that this value
will be reduced by $10,000,000
I his year.
"The recent much advertised
rum blockade, resulting In the
concentration of nearly 400 ships
in a given area, convinces one that
the dry officials are paying much
more attention to the one per cent
liquor source than the Internal
source, which supplies 99 per cent
of the nation's thirsty. It also
would seem to prove that the cost
of effective enforcement of prohi
bition throughout the country
would undoubtedly bankrupt the
United States treasury."
"Prohibition officials, basing
their estimate on the report of
William V. Under, chemist of the
prohibition unit, declare that the
amount of Illicit imported liquor
in the country Is less than one per
rent of the ttal illicit booze supply."

Modernists Attending: As
sembly Assert Open
Break Imminent Over
Doctrines.
Columbus, Ohio, May 27 (By
Associated Press) A definite
break In the Presbyterian church
in tlie United States of America Is
imminent, modernists in tho do
nomination's general assembly in
session here, declared today.
The split will come. Dr. Henry
Sloane Coffin, New York, repre
senting tho decidedly liberal pres
bytery there, said if the various
presbyteries uphold notion of the
assembly yesterday In voting that
a literal acceptance of tho virgin
birth is a necessary qualification of
any one who enters its minfsry.
While tho modernists made clear
their position In this regard today.
ultra-fundanicntnlists, through Dr.
Clarence Kdward MacCartner, for
mer moderator and one of their
leaders, nyserted that tho "law
an 1 authority of the chinvh will
be upheld" If the New York pres
bytery continues to licence minist
ers who do not accept In full nil
the rreedal and doctrinal beliefs
of the church.
Protest Tlullng
A protesL ngi.lnst tho ruling of
the judicial commissin'n yesterday
in upholding that tho New York
presbytery went against the law of
the chureh in licensing ministers
to preach who could not affirm
belfef in tho virgin birth wan for
mally presented to the assembly
today by the Itev. Charles H.
Swartz of Chiengo. This, church
leaders pointed out, is in reality a
dissenting opinion of the assembly
it.ielf, marking a direct line of
cleavage.
The protest was entirely the
licensing of Henry J VanDuzen,
New York, who did not either af-
f Tnii or deny acceptance of the
theory of the virgin birth.
Klght points are listed and the
principal contention Is that under
the church law the presbytery It -
:elf is the only Judge of the qual
ifications of a minister.
SUV I'nllli Violated
Tho holding of the commission,
which became the judgment of the
assembly by Its adoption, violates
the confession of faith itself, the
protest asserted.
Signers of the protect Included
commissioners from many sections
of the country. Itepresentntod
were presbyteries and synods In
New Jersey, Montana, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, St. Louis, Ohio and
Iowa.
The following chapter of the con
fefvion was quoted In substantia
tion: "The requiring of an implicit
fftlth and an alwtolu.n and blind
ibedience 'n to destroy liberty and
'onscieme and renson n Iso."
"Hy requiring such ab-'dtitc con
formtty." the pimest said, "it re
stores thoe ltorrKin Catholic the
ories of eeclesinsilcai authority
which It was the very purpose of
Presbyterian pi ot eta nt bun to over
throw." i
While the modernists said that
' he n p point ment of a com mission
of 15 yesterday to study tho whole
issue probably will avert the break
for another year. Dr. Coffin's state
ment declared that if the presby
teries 'approve the doctrine it
would mean a break In the church.
The pieat majority In the church
does not want a break.
'We wanted to state our posi
tion and if it ever round up I:i
civil court, that would he the hiwUt
of o'ir inse. I hope it never comes
to lint."
