In the process of reaching a decision some interesting facts that have an Important bearing on the INSTRUCTORS TOLD 2,500 Hear Denominations Join Attack at Catholic Confraternity Breakfast.

Necessity for combatting the tendency toward atheism and agnosticism In the United States today through teachers in the public schools who can influence the minds of their pupils, was the general theme adopted by speakers yesterday at the fifth annual communion breakfast of the Confraternity of Christian doctrine of Brooklyn at the Knights of Columbus Clubhouse. The 2,500 members of the organization, which is composed of Catholic teachers in the public schools of Brooklyn, numbered among their guests Protestant and Jewish clergymen and educators. Fifty Percent Unbelievers. "Chaos is everywhere," declared William B. Cunningham, former Judge in the New York State Court of Claims, "likewise doubt and agnosticism.

"According to the United States census, 50 percent of the people In this Christian nation refuse to acknowledge any religious belief. We have been asked to accept new sects, new religions and even a new concept God. The effort of the time is to create a Ood who is subservient to man. It Is up to you teachers to check this tendency." The Rt. Rev.

Thomas E. Molloy, Bishop of Brooklyn, urged the teachers to help create "a more honest, moral end virtuous young America." Asks Concerted Action. "Let us gst together Jews, Catholics and Protestants and fight our common foes, the agnostic, the atheist, the unbeliever," said Dr. Frank J. Arnold, president of the Protestant Teachers Association.

The newspapers were termed "the greatest text books on crime" by Dr. Abraham Smith, president of the Jewish Teachers Association, who declared that "the lack of honesty and the low morale of the country are presented In distorted form through newspaper column." The Rt. Rev. Mons. Timothy A.

Hlckey, director of the organization, presided and introduced the speakers. Others were the Rev. James Henry Carpenter, director of Protestant religious education; Miss Lucille Nlcoil, district superintendent of public schools; Miss Anna E. Clemency, president of the Catholic Teachers Association, and Miss Dorothy Vrillman, supervisor of Catholic medical missions. Quests of honor were the Rt.

WORK PROGRESSING ON MAMMOTH DRY DOCK AT ERIE BASIN Despite quicksand at the Inshore section and the necessity of deep-sea diving at the offshore section, the mammoth graving or dry dock of the Todd Shipyards Corporation, at its Robins plant In Erie Basin, is showing rapid progress, Huge steel trlmieforms in which concrete will be molded, are being lowered at the offshore end to form the floor of the dock. Divers, taking off from a canvas platform shown in tne foreground of the picture, guide the tremieforms through 32 feet of water. They are later to be filled with concrete. Within a few months, Brooklyn can lay claim to having the fourth largest graving dock in the country. By graving dock is meant a basin dug out of land at the water's edge.

Construction on the Todd one began last summer. It will have a clear length of 731 feet and an overall length of 745 feet, the prow of any vessel In it coming above the offices of the corporation at Beard st. The total cost will be about J2.500.000. The quicksand at the Inshore end has been largely conquered by use of a sheet piling around the edges and by building foundations In the manner that deep bridge piers are sunk. A large number of shins which cannot now go Into drydock at New York will be able to do so when the Todd graving dock Is completed.

Last week the Cosullcn liner Vul cania, pride of the Italian Merchant Marine, needed repairs before sail lng. Because no private dock was big enough to handle her, the Navy Yard volunteered the fise of Its pier 4. This condition applies to a num ber of the big ships, but the Leviathan will still have to go to Boston for repairs, even when the Todd dock Is ready.

GRAND JURY PROBE OF RUM CASE FIXERS PLANNED BY AMELI Continued from Page 1. tion, as well as those of a number of clerks and attaches. The Department of Justice reports on the qualifications of these subordinates to remain in office will be scanned, and those whose records do not meet with Mr. Mitchell's ideas of the "good of the service" will find their resignations accepted. Indications are that these virtual dismissals will affect from three to half of the assistants and a number of attaches.

Secret Conference Held. The program for driving the "fixing gallery" from the forth floor corridors, abuting the hearing rooms where U. S. Commissioners preside over liquor case arraignments, was drawn Friday night at a secret conference attended by the new prosecutor. Federal Judge Marcus B.

Campbell, Postmaster Albert Firmin and Deputy Marshal August Fer-rand, in the Jurist's "When I'm in office beyond any possible strings, the situation will dealt with promptly," said Mr. Amell. "I expect to have the situation well in hand by Monday or Tuesday." 1 The plan, it was believed, contained' measures to abolish loitering, to supervise the personnel of bail bond agents and the writing of bail bonds, and to prohibit "runners" lawyers and persons of dubious means of livelihood from using the Fedarl Building as headquarters. The program, however, had to be carefully drawn Inasmuch a ball is the constitutional right of a defendant. An effort will be made to distinguish between bail bond agents doing a legitimate business and those of the "fixer" stripe.

Grand Jury to Get Facts. Judge Campbell and Mr. Firmin were called into the secret conference by Mr. Ameli to bring the full weight of authority behind the cleanup moves, the Judge having Jurisdiction over the hearings rooms and Mr. Firmin, as superintendent, having jurisdiction over the corridors on the top floor.

The drive against the "fixers," though, will be Independent of thel Grand Jury proceedings in which, it is understood, data gathered by Department Justice "undercover" men will be presented to the Indicting body. The deferred drive to eject the suspected "fixers" hardly appeared necessary yesterday, as most of this gentry had taken their cue from Mr. Amell's appointment the previous day and were, for the first time in two years, conspicuous on the mooted fourth floor by their absence. "Big Bill" Boskowite and "Charlie" Pearl, the bail bond barons, believed to be the principal targets of the new prosecutor's drive, shortened their stay outside the hearing rooms to the point of renewing a few bonds as quickly as possible and leaving the building unobtrusively. The first blow of the cleanup, it was learned, was aimed at "Big Bill" in the form of Marshal Ferrand's order to the elevator operators to see that Boskowitz desists from making their cages his offices In the lorenoon hours.

A Clever System. The 300-pound ball merchant has for some time been in the habit of parking himself on a stool In the elevator, bringing defendants up to the hearing floor, a device hwich gave him a jump on his rivals. The liquo rdefendants, atfer getting their sales talks in the elevtor, would be shooed from "Big Bill" for the business on hand. Another development In the bail situation. The Eagle learned yester day, has been the refusal for the past week of U.

S. Commissioners Martin C. Epstein and William B. Wilson to jump out of bed at night for the purpose of drawing up pre-arraignment bonds in station houses for defendants who would be ar- DEBT SOLUTION tLraisi Acceptance of New Cuts Depend on French and Belgian Public Opinion. Paris, May 4 0W Solution of the roblcm of German reparations problem tonight to depend upon de cision of the Allies as to whether they are willing to accept figures proposed by Owen- D.

Young and accepted by the German experts. What those figures are, remains a strict secret between the negotiators. But, according to the best information, they involve important concessions from the figures presented by the creditor nations in their memorandum. After tentative acceptance by the Germans of the figures proposed by Mr. Young, representatives of the Allied Powers were assembled today In the Hotel George to consider them.

What they concluded is not known, but there are many reasons for believing that they deferred acceptance of the proposal. Compromise Figure. Mr. Young's figures were prepared several days ago and. according to American sources, were the normal consequence of his memorandum which preceded the German offer.

The best information available tonight gave the figures as about half way between the Allied demands and the German offer on annuities. American expert circles deny that the figures are half way and there is no way of verifying them with strict exactitude. Depends on Public Opinion. In any case, it Is supposed In other Allied circles that Mr. Young's proposal demands an additional sac rifice on the part of France and her Allies.

Upon this rests the crucial point of the negotiations. If France and her Allies are willing to make sufficient deductions from their reparations claim then an accord is quite possible. Further concessions from the French and the Belgians, It is pointed out, depend upon public opinion. The French delegates consider that they have gone to the limit admitted by public sentiment in France, where nobody is willing to concede that payments on war debts should exceed receipts from Germany for the devastation of invaded French territories.

From research laboratories of the University of Iowa comes evidence that the runner first and fastest to start is by no means first to finish. Using an electric tuning-fork tlm lng device7 of his own construction, Joseph D. Alexander, a graduate physical education student, has ob talned records of 500 sprints. His device has attracted mention In the Scientific World for its new features.

Veteran sprinters, whose time for the race may be the same, vary fn the time required to get away from .13 of a second to twice that. Trained sprinters take an average of .183 of a second. Eddie Tolan, Michigan's dusky comet, is the fastest Alexander has timed. Tolan got away in .14 of a scond. A tape, wound on a rapidly re volving drum, records Alexander's experiments.

A tuning fork, vi brated by a magnet, perforates the tape 100 times a second. The starter's gun, discharged against a thin metal plate, closes a circuit and Is recorded on the tape at the Instant of explosion. Another circuit is closed when the runner's hands, resting on small metal strips, are lifted at the start. Perforations between the two marks give the time required for the getaway. i RESTS UPON Watson Calls Parley to Strengthen Administration Lines and Kill Plan.

'This was Indicated today a.fter conferences of members of the Interstate Commerce Commission with traffic vice presidents of several Western ttjink lines and representatives of the Hoover Administration. Washington, May 4 G4 The narrow margin on which the fate of the export debenture plan in the Senate was called to the attention of President Hoover today as Administration leaders looked with som'e concern upon their chances of eliminatins this provision which the Chief Executive opposes as a part of his farm relief program. Mr. Hoover was Informed of the situation by Senator Watson of Indiana, the Republican leader, who discussed the question in detail at a White House breakfast.

Returning to the Capitol, Senator Watson immediately called conference of Administration leaders, Including Senators McNary of Ore-Ron and Fess of Ohio.

In addition, they counted it as certain, in view of the volume of their support; to make another fight for the rfebsnture plan when the tariff bill up.

The possibility of linking the debenture controversy with the tariff lntcs in the resfion has been a question; engalnj leaders In both branches of Congress for some time, fenator Caraway, Democrat, Arkansas, who with Senator Norris, Republican, Nebraska, both members, of the Agriculture Committee, have taken a leading part In the debenture fight, has made it known that the debenture proposal would not be dropped should it fail to be included in the farm bill. Outcome Still In DoabU In; the House Representative Garner of Texas, the Democratic lead-r, has expressed the opinion that-very nearly the full support of the Democratic party could be mustered to put the debenture plan In the tariff bill. Most of the House Democrats voted with the Administration when the farm bill was considered, but Garner declared a different view would be taken should the plan be offered to the tariff measure. To win the House, the Democrats would have to get (he support of many Republicans.

These plans, however, have not been receiving serious bemuse the outcome of the present debenture fight in the Senate is still in doubt. The debenture group is planning to obtain a "pair" for Senator Shipstead.

The World's Work publishes the following by Albert PaysonTerhune: One night in 1899 I sat at the Coney Island Athletic Club, watching a tall man fight 23 smashing rounds against a short man. There was an almost awed interest, in this Jeffries-Sharkey conflict because it had been heralded as the "Hundred Thousand Dollar Battle." In those days pugilism was a sport: Just emerging from the ban of the law it was still tainted with charges of rowdyism. But long before the Tunney-Heeney bout in 1928 pugilism was as much of a smugly money-making endeavor as coal mining or bond selling.

There is a story in this Only a few years before the Jeffries-Sharkey battle prizefighting was sternly forbidden both here and in Its devotees must slip away to some woodland glade, there to which, the fight with one eye and to look out for a raid with the other. The battlers received a pitifully small meed of dollars for their long weeks of training. The Immortal Bendlgo, champion of England' in the 1830's, won a series of championship fights whose length' and number would shame any modern' boxer's record, and he had a name for saving his money. Yet in his later years he sought to support himself by turning preacher. This new profession amazed his friends, for he had been one of the foulest and most scrappers of his time.

Jem Mace scraped together the price of more than one cheap meal in the early years of his ring career by playing a fiddle on street corners. The great Tom Cribb did odd jobs as a coal heaver. Tom Johnson, for a long time the unbeaten champion of England, continued to work as a porter. Mere did not carry a living wage with It. The Beginnings.

Theodore Roosevelt was the apostle of the strenuous life In boxing more than in any other sport. When he was Oovernor of New York he preached it as a gloriously manly exercise and advised all boys to learn It. He went openly to any good fight he could find. His example took deep and quick effect. In the last half of the '90 New York legalized pugilism under the polite name of "boxing bouts" but limited the bouts to 25 rounds and substituted gloves for bare knuckles, Marquis of Queensberry rules to prevail.

Prize fighting had taken its first hesitant steps toward the far shining. goal of big business. Women in those days, of course, did not attend such brutal exhibi tions: though there was a rumo: that one society girl got into such a place, dressed as a man. When Mrs. Bob Fltzsimmons wanted to see her husband fight Tom Sharkey, In California, she was forced to hide in a lumber room adjoining the arena and watch through a peep hole.

Men, however, began to lend tone to the sport by appearing at the ringside, some of them, in dinner jackets. This was a thrilling Innovation. In my early years of following the fortunes of the ring, many a pork- and-bean fighter was willing to ac ccpt $10 as a reward for being ham mered to a pulp.

"The energy spent In playing golf should not be minimized. It is estimated that a person walking at the rate of four miles per hour over the conventional level course of 6,000 yards spends as much energy as he would in lifting himself five times to the top of the highest skyscraper in New York; or, walking with a speed of about two miles per hour, he would spend enough energy to lift himself a little over four times to the top of the same building.

"As a matter of fact, the golf courses are usually located on hilly ground, and this greatly increases the output of energy necessary to cover the playing distance. To all this the work performed In practice and in actual shots and in searching for the baU must be added. And when it comrs to searching for lost balls what a dif ference!" For Old or Young? This is part of the comment of the editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association on the researches which have been started by Dr. P. V.

Karpovich of the International Y. M. C. A. College at Springfield, Mass.

In tackling this problem of the optimum golf age, which is not alone of nationwide but of international interest, Dr. Karpovich stated that on one side Is the opinion that golf is a game for old persons and that a man should play golf only when he is unable to participate in other kinds of sports. The fact that retired business men are so often pictured as playing golf has helped much in this Impression. On the other side it Is asserted that a real game can be played only by young people, and as proof of this it is shown that the champions are young people. Takes Off Founds.

"Obviously," stated the editor of the medical journal, "other criteria than age must be established before the controversy about hygienic recreation and continued effort can be profitably discussed." Dr. Karpovich established on a scientific basis many conclusions which may not be entirely new to golfers. Among them: There are no Indications that any one overdid in the game. Women expend less energy In playing than do men. There is usually a decrease In weight after the game from one to four pounds.

Persons who did not show a decrease in weight had drunk plenty of water on the course. The heart action increases as a result of increased metabolism due to exercise, but in general It returns to normal In a short time and often to subnormal for a short period. There is no hard and fast rule for determining whether a person with heart trouble should play. The decision must be made on individual circumstances. As to the object of physical exercise the Journal states editorially: "The attainment of physical poise, symmetry of form and harmonious grace and the lurtnerance oi proper activity of tissue cells and organs and the elimination of waste products are the chief ends sought.

In fact, good health as a whole, and not a highly developed muscular system, should be the objective of exercise." HOOVER PLANNING CAUCUS TO HALT RUNAWAY TARIFF Continued from Page 1. the Democrats have bad a chance to examine the schedules and have written a minority report It is obvious that the tariff bill will remain In the House for a much greater time than the Administration had hoped. Thereafter it will go to the Senate, where debate wUl be un limited, and where the President faces the opposition of several lm uortant members of his own party.
