BAPTISTS MEET ONE DAY LATER Dr. McGlothlin's Suggestion Meets With Favor. No Stinday Traveilng. 'Washington, .May 15.-Dato of the 1921 meeting was changed from Wed nesday, May 11, to Thursday, May 12, -;by the Southern Baptist convention late today upon the suggestion of Dr. W. J. McGlothlin, president of Furman 0 university, Greenville, S. C., in order tIat messengers coming from a dis tance to attend the convention will not be compelled to travel on Sunday. Otherwise the report of the committee on arrangements which chose Chatta nooga, Tenn., as the meeting place, was unchanged. Disapproval by the convention of the s-tatement made by Vice President Mar shall to the Virginia Bar Association, that had the prohibition amendment been considered by the senate behind closed (loors it would not have receiv ed 20 votes, was voiced by the adop tion of a resolution presented by )r. 11. W. Battle, of Charlottesville, Va. "We keenly deplore the vice -presi dent's poor opinion, if correctly Iiot ed, of the august body over which he presides," the resolution recites add ing that if the vice president was cor rect in his assertion "we would regard that fact the darkest sign of national decadence and coming disaster." "The Southern Baptist convention canl not concur in the imputation placed by Ir. Marshall, if correctly reported, upon the senators of the United States in their recent enact ment of prohibition legislation," the resolution said.

Price69o the addeess of welcome to the conven tion when it opened hero on Wednes Elay and adoption of the resolution was oPposed by prominent messengers on the ground of discourtesy. At the sug gestion of Dr. A. J. Barton of Alevan dria, La., action on the resolution was deferred until the convention had list Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti ened to an address by Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti Saloon league, when It was passed with but a scattering of negative votes. Both Mr. Whepler and Federal Pro hibition Commissioner Kramer, who followed him were received with ac claim, the convention rising to its feet to applaud them when they advanced to the speaker's pla'tform. Mr. Wheeler declared that he would stand by the senate against the vice president who, he qdded, did not add anything to the confidence of the peo pie of the country by his statement. lie scored those he termed as wine and beer candidates, characterizing the!r position as one of "deflanco of the law." The government needs more men to enforce prohibition, Mr. Kramer de clared, and asked the lielp of Southern Baptists in unholding the 18th aiend ment to the constitution. Prohibition of the drug and li(iuor trafllc in India was endorsed by the convention in a resolution calling ul) on the governor of India to "prohibit the import, manufacture and sale n India of alcoholic liquors and druigs, i)articularly prohibition of the culti vation of pI)opy and the manufacture and sale of opium for other than ied leal purposes." Charging that the British govern ment sup)orts the opium trade in India by lending money free of in terest -to the )opi)y growers, Tarak nath Das, of India, a Christian Hindu, pleaded with the messengers .to help remove the drug curse from his coun try. Swift & Company Does Not Control Its Raw Material Other industries can buy their raw materials according to need or judgment, and set a selling price. They need manufacture only what they can sell at their price. Cotton, wool, wheat, lumber, iron, steel, and other non-perishables, can be held either by their producers or their users until needed. But live stock comes to market every day in fluctuating quantities from scat tered sources, wholly uncontrolled and at times without regard to market needs. An immediate outlet must be found for the perishable products, at whatever price, as only a very small proportion can be stored. No one can foresee or stipulate What they shall bring; prices must fluctuate from day to day to insure keeping the market clear. Only the most exacting care of every detail of distribution enables Swift. & Company to make the small profit from all sources of a fraction of a cent per pound, necessary for it to con tinue to obtain capital and maintain operations. Swift & Company, U. S. A. -NO HERBERIf HOOVER TALKS OF SUGAR Former Food Administrator Gives Viows on Entire Situation. Washington, May 14.-Herbert Hoover, former food administrator and candidate for the Republican nom ination for president, gave his views to congress today on the sugar sit uation. Appearing before a house commit toe investigating the sugar situation Mir.. Hoover declared that the world shortage of the product was likely to continue two or three years. The pressing need was rationing, lie said, -with immediate government action to control -the supply through corn ucre lal, not legalistic methods. Although the hearing related pr'i marily to the action of Attorney Gen cral Palmer in approving a maximum price for the Louilslana crop, it reached out. into ia broader field after M r. I loover said lie could give only an "off hand" opinion as to that proceeding. Mr. illoover, said, however, that the governmenit shouild have bought the 'Louilslana cro!) last year, pocketing the loss or else selling to the luxury trade at an advance. 'arlier in the (lay Mr. 4Hoover, who was a member of President Wilson's second industrial conference, told the senate labor committee lie did not be lieve that the relationship between employers and eiployces could be set tied by any form of legal repression whether It be by injunction, compul sory arbitration or Industrial courts. 'While a large audience heard Mr. Hoover's views before both commit tees, the greatest Interest was dis played by crowds that sought enlight enment on the shortage and high prlice of sugar, with its resultant tax on the family pocketbook. Answering a mul titude of iluestions hearing onl the Louisiana crop and price situation Mr. Hoover explained that lie had no knowledge of his own on the subject but that it influenced Cuban produc er's to stimulate prices, and that except for it, the rise in prices would have been less rapid. Mi. Hoover frankly disagreed with the policy adopted by the attorney general saying that if he had been in the latter's place he "certainly would not have attempted sdlich an opera tion." Prices never could be fixed by threats of jail, he said, adding that the proper course was through com mercial process. In making reply to members who wanted to know what should have been done to keep the present high prices oc the people, Mir. .Hoover re iterated that the government should have bought the Cuban crop as well as the Louislana crop and that even now there was a chance to help by limit ing the sup)l)lv to non-essential indus tries. In this connection lie told the coniittoe that prohibition had stilmu lated the use of sigar in maniiactir ing of sweet. drinks, and th1us had added to the drailn on stocks needed tor' home consumiption. exatnceod la~ of intenationaThm iotoerated a in 1any t and hai oll Newaisii or.\ain 13.-ties ntei of th roll, is in piossession of' the dlistr'ct al torney's ofhice, it was lear'ned hiei"e to night, Assistant ilstict Attorne) Dooling,' who with Souls M\eyers, has been investigating New Yoi'k's hugi securities thefts, declared that fron papers found on several .prisoner: caught in dragnet lhe 1had( good i'ea son to believe that the operations o tihe swindliers in this city aind Clove landl have expanded beyond the limit: of the American continent.
