when the president of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America criticized the program of War Department and military training in public schools last night, declared that the time has arrived for America to lead the world in the policies of peace.

I am not a pacifist who would prefer death under any circumstances. but I would fight if America was ruthlessly invaded." Greeted Cordially. Dr. Cadman received a cordial greeting from the 5,000 spectators who attended the review and the relations between the minister, who is a former chaplain of the regiment. and the officers and men of Colonel Fairservis' command appeared to be of the friendliest character.

explained to The Eagle today that she intended the affidavit she signed in contesting the will of her sister. Dr. Grace D. Peele, alleging that Dr. Peele was of unsound mind when she signed the document, to convey the impression that Dr.

STATE AIDS POOR SCHOLAR'S CLAIM FOR $10,000,000 Legislature Acts to Gain Consideration for Shanty Dweller's lost Manuscripts. Nicholas Lauer, living for the time being in a shanty at Hunters Point ave. Orton in a deserted part of Long Island City, received word from Albany today that both Houses of the Legislature have passed the Dietz Bill, bringing his claim against the State--his claim for $10,000,000 -for consideration before the Court of Claims. The elderly Lauer, soft-voiced, bespectacled, obviously a respectable and cultured gentleman, retold the story of the and "assault" and "robbery" as the outcome of which he has now brought his claim.

It started back in June, 1920, when he lived with his wife and four children. all on a farm at Washingtonville, Orange County, N. Y. At that time, he said, two women, one of them armed, came to the farmhouse while he and his wife were away, drove out his children, and took possession. When, the next day, he returned to the place, the women summoned a State trooper, who, SILV8 Lauer, drove them all out at the point of a pistol.

GOVERNOR WILL O.

K. MEDICAL PRACTICE ACT, WEBB PREDICTS Author Sees Success for Bill Opposed Chiefly by Kings County Doctors. (Special by Eagle Staff Correspondent) Albany, April 24 Senator Griswold Webb, co-author with Assemblyman Loomis of the bill revising the Medical Practices Act, providing for the annual registration of physicians, the establishment of a grievance committee of doctors to hear complaints against alleged quacks and making other changes, today declared he had every confidence Governor Smith would sign the bill. "There's practically no doubt about he gaid. "Last year, in the closing hours of the session, the Governor sent in a special message approving just such a bill." pointed to the fact that the State Department of Health and the State Department of Education favored the bill's passage as evidence that Governor Smith would approve.

Nine Votes to Spare. The omis bill passed the Senate early this week with 9 votes to spare. It had passed the Assembly some time before. Efforts to defeat the measure were made by Senator William L. Love of Brooklyn, a physician; Senator John L.

Karle, chairman of the Senate Public Health Committee, and Judiclary Chairman Gibbs. Love and Karle spoke the views of the Kings County Medical Society, the former claiming that the bill is discriminatory against the medical profession. Karle took the position that the rather than eliminating quacks contains a loosely drawn provision that opens the doors to them. Gibbs took a somewhat similar position, reading a long statement against the physio-therapists are admitted to practice under the bill. Gibbs also could not be convinced that the osteopaths were protected in the bill despite the fact that the so-called grievance committee is to have an osteopath among its members.

Fee Spending Assailed. Objection was also raised by Gibbs to the method provided for spending the fund raised by the annual registration fee of $2. Dr. Love in his insistence that the bill was discriminatory pointed to a provision which bars physio-therapists for foreign schools. It as pointed out, physio-therapy is widely practiced abroad and that some of its practitioners there could do a great deal of good if they established themselves in America.

In course of his fight against the bill Dr. Love repeated his contention that it created an objectionable medical oligarchy. The sponsors of the bill stood on the fact that it was supported by Dr. Augustus Downing of the Board of Education, by Dr. Nicoll of the State Department of Health and by virtually every county medical 80- ciety with the exception of the Kings County Society.

To Prosecute Quacks. It is aimed in the bill to devote the funds used from the registration fee to the prosecution of quacks. In a word the bill requires that licenses shall not be issued to practice medicine unless the applicants for licenses shall submit satisfactory proof of their qualifications to the Board of Regents. Physicians must apply for certificates of registration on or before the first of January of each year. H.

(Special by Eagle Staff Correspondent) Albany, April 24-While it will not be certain what were some of the final acts of the Legislature of 1926 until the Senate and Assembly clerks have compared their records, the fate of two important bills is known. The Jenks bill reorganizing the Municipal Court system in New York City was killed in the Rules Committee.

The Hofstadter bill increasing the membership of the Board of Education, providing that not more than nine members shall be of the same political party, was dragged out at the last minute and passed. Livingston Jenks Bill Executioner. Defeat of the Jenks bill is said to have been accomplished by Jacob A. Livingston, G. 0.

P. leader of Kings, who opposed the provision for rotation of judges. Walter F. Clayton, former Assemblyman from Flatbush, who during his service was the archenemy of salary increases for Municipal Court justices, is believed to have had a hand in beating the Jenks bill. Clayton came here during the closing days of the session and branded the Jenks bill as a salary bill because it gave the Board of Estimate power to increase the compensation of the justices.

Joseph Ricca and Edward E. Fay Were the active opponents of the bill on the floor. Governor Has Hofstadter Bill. The Hofstadter bill, to which the Democrats objected not because it increases membersaip of the Board of Education but because it contains a reference to political parties and how the board shall be divided among them, is now awaiting action by Governor Smith.

"Such talk as that is all bunk," the director said. "No man or woman will 1 be especially favored in my report. Why, in many cases am recommending increases for the underpaid workers by groups.

14th Broo dyn, and John Marissee, 26, 154 Alexander ave, the Bronx. I Today's Eagle tells how you may obtain free tickets to hear Miss De Both'a entertaining talks at the Academy of MusicAdv. (Special by Eagle Staff Correspondent) Albany, April 24 Assemblyman Joseph Ricca of the 23d A. Kings, author of the Teachers Salary Increase Bill, was hailed as the next Senator from the 6th District, Kings, as he left today for home. Senators Truman and Wales shook hands with him and said they were confident he will be in the upper house next year.

Ricca, however, is already under fire by the Democrats. Senator John A. Hastings, present representative from the 6th District, launched an attack upon him for having "played politics" with the teachers' bill. Politics Playing Charged. This came sequel to Senate as a Leader Downing's charge on the floor of the Senate yesterday that the teachers had declined to give their bill Senator Hastings as he (Downing) originally advised them because they wanted Ricca to be elected Senator next year, a thing which they could not do with their bill if they gave it also to hastings, Ricca's probable epponent.

Hastings declared that Ricca had at first refused to introduce the teachers bill unless they promised not to give the companion bill to him (Hastings) in the Senate. Ricca denied this, saying he didn't care who sponsored the teachers' bill in the Senate. William R. Lasher, chairman of the teachers' committee, admitted that Senator Downing had asked that the bill be given to Hastings, but said it had been given to Straus because of the latter's seniority. Wanted to Help Ricca.

There is little doubt that the teachers wanted to help Ricca and refrained from giving their bill to Hastings. Ricca sponsored the teachers' bill last year. While Ricca is the author of the bill affecting the most teachers, his measure will be vetoed. Hastings is the author of the teachers' bill that will probably be signed--namely, the Hastings-Phelps Bill, providing that seventh and eighth grade teachers shall be designated as junior high school teachers. What happened during the twohour Senate recess yesterday just before passage of Ricca bill? Before this recess the G.

O. P. didn't have enough votes in the Senate to pass it. Finance Chairman Hewitt had said he was going to vote against it. Senator Cole was regarded as in doubt.

Made a Party Measure. The G. O. P. evidently went into conference a and made it a strictly party measure, just as the Democrats had done the night before.

This brought Hewitt and Cole into line. Here is what Hewitt said when asked to explain his vote: "I voted against the Antin bill because I thought it was the Ricca bill. When I found it. wasn't changed. If the Rieca bill had beei: up at that time I would have voted Against it." Cole said he was not exactly opposed to the Ricca bill but that it had been reported out without his consent as chairman of the Sanate Education Committee.

H. A. S. SCHOOLMA'M LOBBY BESIEGES CITY HALL Five Hundred Women Teachers Plead for Ricca Bill. Five hundred school teachers late yesterday descended without warning upon the City Hall and attempted to stampede Mayor Walker, into a last-minute support Straus-Ricca bill providing for a $15,000,000 salary increase.
