NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 19. (By th Associated Press.) The Amer ican legion, after a long; business session In which a resolution was adopted criticising severely Briga dier General Bawyer. In spite of the protest of the legion's hospitaliza tion commissioner, A. A. Sprague, of Chicago, tonight entertained Gen eral John J. Pershing, head of the army In . France, and made last minute preparations for the contest tomorrow for the selection of its nnttnnn.1 fffficers. Out of the names of candidates, for the national commandership, William F.

Neither man had anything fur ther to add early tonight to his pro nunciamentoea, already made pub lic, as to his stand on legion poli cies. Owsley, in his report as head of the legion's Americanization com mission, had laid stress upon what he termed the necessity for "100 per cent Americanism," total exclu sion of Immigrants from this coun try for an Indefinite period, and oor frectlori of alleged deficiencies In, text -books dealing wita me war in even manner that the Germans have been given too favorable a report Deegan has chosen as his princi pal policy continuation of the bonus fight.

Matthew Murphy, of Birmingham, Ala., whose name was suggested sev eral days ago by Milton J. Foreman, of Chicago, as a promising candi date, had practically withdrawn from the race tonight. Another name which continues to be discussed Is that of Joseph F. Thompson, Wllkesbarre, Pa, a for mer state commander of the legion in that state. It was hinted tonight that a reso lution, calling for definite action in behalf of universal peace might be Introduced tomorrow by legion naires who also are members of the inter-allled veterans' federation. Although the inter-allied veterans formally concluded their convention Monday, an executive committee of thearganlzatlon, empowered by the convention to take what action It deemed expedient toward forward ing world peace, has been In session here all day today, and is expected to make a statement shortly cover ing its position. Demand Sawyer's Removal. The resolution attacking and de "manding the removal of Brigadier General Bawyer, President Hard ing's personal physician, from the post of chief co-ordlnator of the federal hospitalization board, was adopted by the convention by a vote of 801 to S76. Major A. A. Sprague, of Chicago, mentioned as a candidate for the position of national commander, vainly tried to stem the tide, against Dr. Sawyer. Sprague precipitated the issue several weeks ago by a bit ter attack on Sawyer, but pleaded today with the convention to give Dr. Sawyer "a chance on the lat ter's recent promise of co-operation with the legion's rehabilitation com mittee. The suaeestlon by Delegate Bett- man, of Ohio, that a repudiation of Dr. Sawyer would hurt the cause of the disabled veterans ana mii.e President Harding "sore" waa pitt ed with hoots and Jeers, mingled with applause. - light Over Repudiation. Repudiation of Dr. Sawyer came In the form of an amendment to tne report of the rehabilitation commit tee. which report was even more conservative in tone than had been expected, and carried the recom mendation that "the American legion accept for the time being the pledge of co-operation given by Brigadier General Bawyer, in the nope tnat it will be carried out by him in spirit as well as in the letter. State Commander Baron, of Mln nesota, presented the substitute reso tution attacking General Sawyer, and demanding his removal. It follows. In part: "Where, although four years have elapsed since the signing of the armistice and vast sums have been appropriated by Congress for the hospitalization of sick and disabled veterans suffering without hospital rare or in state or contract hospitals or in unfit government hospitals, and. "Whereas. In many cases more than one year has elapsed between the- date of congressional appropria tion and the selection of sites for new hospitals, while many of the intended have died for the lack. of proper treatment: and, "Whereas, director of the United BY MAMIE BAYS, MONROE, Oct. 1. "The richest corporations on the globe are to be found In the church," Bishop W. F. McMurray, of St Louis, Mo., said this evening before the western North. Carolina conference during the courseof an address he deliver ed at the anniversary of the confer ence board of education. The fact that the church owns this wealth, he said, enable the church to do anything for her schools or for any thing else that she wants to do. Rev. G. T. Rowe, book edltot of the church and editor of The Quar terly Review, who is a member of this conference, is president of the board of education of the confer ence, and presided this evening at the anniversary meeting. The report which Rev. W. O. Goode, conference secretary of edu cation, submitted, showed that the conference during the campaign of last year pledged $647,000 to the Christian education fund of the church. Since that time, as the re sult of the work of Mr. Goode, $89,- 000 has been added to the original pledge, making a total of $718,000, and during the past year Mr. Goode has oollected $80,600 of the total amount pledged. Bishop ' Denny was the other speaker this evening, and he began ni address by calling attention to the significant fact that all four of the gospel writers in the New Tes tament record the miracle of the feeding of the 8,000 with the five loaves and two fishes, and he Bald this taught the significant fact that the Lord is ready to do anything for His children when they lay down everything and depend upon Him. . Bishop Denny Speaks. Speaking of the close relation which has existed between Method ism and Christian education from the beginning of the church, Bishop Denny said when John Wesley started on his work after leaving Ox ford the first thing he did was not to build a chapel, but to build a school. "Wesley had nothing but one hundred and fifty dollars and a Denny said "and Wesley was not out for money." fellowship when he began," Bishop "Christian education Is not so much to teach men how to make a living as to teach them how to make a L'fe. Many a man knows how to make a living who does not know how to make a life," he said. "When Methodism was planted in America it was in poverty, but it has accumulated wealth as the years have passed. We Methodists have learned how to hug our wealth to ourselves, and I am glad .to have lived to see the time when the Church decided at one bound to pledge thirty-five million dollars for her work and then went beyond that mark and pledged . fifty-three million.

IND., Oct. 19 Frank McNally, middle aged factory work er, who accuses his wife of murder ing twin babies he says were born to her last December, asserted at the preliminary hearing today that Mrs. McNally took the children to a hos pital in Chicago last January and re turned with two dolls which she substituted, for the babies. Mrs. McNally, who claims the fwlnn never were born and that she hoodwinked her husband and neigh bors by using dummies in order to satisfy her husband's ambition to be known as a father, was unperturbed by her husband's testimony. Mc Nally was on the. stand for a few minutes only, and his testimony came after a bitter fight between attorneys for tho state and defense. He will resume tomorrow. Attorneys for the defense objected to his testimony as soon as he was placed on the itand. After long ar guments. Judge Cleveland finally ruled that Mr.Mally might tell of events following the time he says the babies -ere born but will not be permitted testify to events pre ceding th' date. McNally ald the twin wore bom December S, last, asoerted that he had seen them and that they were alive. He said he saw thern lust on January 25, and that shortly otter his wife took them to Chicago and returned with two dolls, saying she had left the babies at a hospital to be treated. After her return, Mc Nally said his wife apparently pre tended before neighbors that the dolls were her babies. Asked if he Dad ever seen blood on either of the babies, he said he had seen his wife wipe blood from the ear of one of them. . Miss Catherine Griffith, 17-yearld daughter of the nurse who attendod Mrs. McNally, was an important state witness today. She said she learned Mrs. McNally was to become a mother when she accompanied her to n bathing beach In the summer of 1921. Plrtu -a he had taken of Mrs. McNally at the beach were demand ed by attorneys for the defense but were refused by counsel for the state. She asserted tnat after the time McNally says the twins were born, she had seen, the babies in bed. alive and kicking and also saw one of the babies nursing. Later she sa'd she had carried one of the babies on the street but she couid not say positively that it was a live. It did not move and did not cry, she sa!d.

DEBT FUNDING IS DELAYED Immediate Result Is Postpone ment of Coming of British Debt Commission to This Country. ' WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. (By the Associated Press). Fall of thei Lloyd George government gripped the attention of officials here to day, both governmental and diplo matic, although no direct Imme diate effect of the change In the 'British ministry further than addi tional delay in the British debt funding negotiations was expected to be apparent in relations between the United States and Great Britain. The London cabinet crisis Is full of posclble future complications for all other governments, Including the United States, however, and a clear understanding of what Is ahead, depended very largely on the program made by Premier Des ignate lionar Law In his attempt to form a new cabinet. The Imme diate result of the crisis already felt In Washington is the postpone ment of the coming to this country of the ltrltlh debt commission headed by Sir Robert Heme, chan cellor of the exchequer in the Lloyd George Kovernment. Sir Robert was to have sailed for the United States a week ago, accompanied by Montague Norman, director of the Bank of England, but the cabinet crisis was then Impending and de parture was delayed on that ac count. Heady to DIhcukh Refunding. Preparations for discussion of the problem of refunding the British war, debt to the United States through issues of long term British securities had been made by the treasury and state departments. It appeared doubtful to i fflclals here today, however, when the political situation In London would be sufficiently clarified to permit a British commission to be sent. There Is little doubt hire that ulti mately the refunding negotiation would be carried out practically elong the lines already mapped out, although it is admitted that a new cabinet arising after a general change British policy as to war debt refunding. Another possible direct element in the situation arecting the United States is the status of Ambassador Geddes. In recent years the British government has .selected for Important diplomatic post, such, as Washington, men of prominence outside their British diplomatic eer lce. Ambassador Gedjes is of this group as was hi predeceswir. Lord Reading, although the late Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, war time ambassador In Waahlngton, was of the regular service. Naturally a man specially select ed by a. government for a particu lar post is more aeected by the political vicissitudes of the goverh- Andrew Bonar 2-aw Named. Andrew Bonar Law will put on the prime minister's mantle for a short term of office. Th king summoned him to Buckingham palace late this evening and Invited him to form a new government, which Mr. Bonar T.sw will undertake, although the state of his health, which compelled him to withdraw from puDuo me a few months ago, makes it a risky venture. " Before Mr. Bonar Law can tor mally accept the premiership, how ever, a meeting of the unionist party must be held to elect a new leader to carry out the policy to be decided by caucus. This meeting win do held within a few days, whan Mr. Bonar Law will be chosen. Between th Carlton club meeting and Bonar Law' visit to the king it was seething afternoon of rumors and Of group gatherings among ths Bollttcal Taction. Austen vnamocr- laln first vlsltid tho prime minister's official resideno In Downing street, as had been expected, to offer his resignation; several under secretaries and th chief coalition-unionist wnip, Lieutenant Colonel Leslie Wilson, had already Informed th news rjaDer that they had resigned, and within two hour Mr. Lloyd George wua in nmuutsMlnn nf ths resicnatlons of practically all the member of the cabinet He tnen drove to tne pai ace to tender them to the king. Bonar Law a Sphinx. Mr. Lloyd George advised the king to summon Mr. Bonar Law ana, ac cording to custom, this was done. While Mr. Lloyd George exhibited cheerfulness to the few who saw him and cheered him on his Journey to the palace, he could not but feel deeply the verdict that he no longer commanded the support or tne ma jority of the unionist party, which for the past few months had furnish ed the strongest material for hi cabinet. It was Mr. Bonar Law, more than any other man, who Influenced the Unionist caucus to secede from th coalition. He had been a sphinx Whom the rank and file of the union ist commoners were waitinx to hear. He is a serloua and unemotional man, with a quiet manner. His opinion that It was more important to keep the party together than to win the next election and "whether by his own fault or the force of circumstances, Mr. Lloyd George has Inst the confidence ot the country," decided many votes. There was also a strong feeling In the party that th Chamberlain plan, which gave the party's destinies over to the small faction representing It in parliament, was not a fair device. The lust straw which weighed In the scale was the Newport election, in which a straight unionist candi date won on a platform of opposi tion to the coalition and all Its works, although the politicians thtught the labor party had a safe prospect In that constituency. Curzan Backs Bonar law. Mr. Bonar Law will have Lord Curxon for one of the pillars of his cabinet. Curzon remained away from the caucus today, but cent a letter of protest against the exclu sion of the lords. One result of today's upheaval Is a split 'In the unionist party, which makes its fortunes doubtful. A strong group of the old cabinet unionists remain true to their leader. Mr. Chamberlain, the earl of Bal four. Lord Birhenhead. Sir Laming Worthlngton-Evans and Sir Robert Stevenson Home follow Mr. Lloyd George into the wilderness, and many workers In the party rank are likely to go with them. ?v . The precinct of th loitm grfy old Carlton club, which ' ha een . sheltered much 'history-making in Its time, afforded the London crowd,-s which never fails freely to exprea it sentiments toward notables, a- dis tinct scene of excitement.

Paris Not Rejoicing Over Passing Of Lloyd George i Ctlaad T. PARIS. Oct. 19. (By The Asso ciated Press.) There Is no tendency on. the part of the French govern ment to rejoice over the pasaing of Lloyd George and his cabinet. This was given definite assertion in offi cial quarters. In general the feeling seem to be that while Lloyd George was some times bad enough In his attitude to ward the French position, Andrew. Bonar Uv might be worse. The foreign office declined to make any statement on the down fall of the Lloyd George government. News of the resignation of Lloyd George and his cabinet caused much excitement and some surprise In. French political circles, but ap- atently no chagrin. The chamber of deputies was In session when the news arrived and spread rapidly among the members. Immediately the excited deputies quit their benches, leaving th orator of the moment with hardly a single listener of his discussion of the anti- profiteering bill. " ' ' Rushing to the lobbies the depu ties gathered in little groups and discussed the report from London? with various expression of feeling. By no stretch of the imagination could it be said that av spirit of melancholy waa noticeable la their reaction to the - new ' of Lloyd George's downfall. , ' - r - The new waa received with ex pressiona of Joy In many quarter, especially among the conservative' and center group.
