Statement of 1)r. Maddry Calls
Upon Baptists to Rise To
Tho, Occasion
RALEIGH. Sept ft—</P*-Dr. Chaa.
E. Maddry. general secretary of tha
BstUat Put r«syml«a of North
Carolina, upon his return today trout
Atlanta, where he sat with tha execu
• ire committee of tha Southern Bap
tint convention during the considers
ttnn of tha aliased shortage of former
treaaarer C.-8. Carnes of the Bap:.
Ust home mission board said “real as
feta" of tha board were now “lonr
' ‘ thing like 12.600,000" gfaluat'llabillt
■as of $1426.611.
In a statement prepared for tbe
press he said '*The following Is the
actual, condition at tha prssant time
of the Home Board affairs".
Assets as set up on the books are
$4,276,649. This Includes property In
" Havana*. Cuba: the Tubercular Hoa
nital at El Paso Texas; tha properly
of some twenty five mountain schools
scattered throughout the South, to
g< ther with altont $1,300,000 of fnvest
ed funds of the loan department to
- tome several hundred" churches In
tha South These amounts will even
tually be paid by the churches but
many of Jhe loans extend through a
period of 10 and even 15 years. I
would Judge that the real value of the
assets of the Home Board at tha-pre
i»nt tlaaa would be something Ilk*
s2.M*.gOo.
The attorney of the Home Board
assured us that there was a possibility
of salvaging from the estate of the de
faulting treasurer the sumc or $260-
000 or $300,000. However, there are
ether creditors and It may be that al
ter all the defaulting treasurer had
borrowed heavily against his estate
He h«d placed a second mortgage on
Mr home and evidently came Into the
possession of this money the day of
hie disappearance.
“1 have given the 11st of the whole
matter frankly thal our people might
know the fearful disaster that has
t vertaken ua. I do not suppose any
rellgloua body In the history of
Uhrh(tlanity hat suffered such a stag
gerlng Calamity.
The Baptist of the South, however.
. number more than 3,000.000 members
Through our long history this la tha
*• first loia that has ever come to the
Home (Board The Baptist of the south
have never defaulted one single rent
- and while we are stxggred beyond
words at this calamity we ara not go
ing to default now. We want every
bank and every creditor to know that
Southern Baptists are going to meet
this disaster with courage and every
dollar of thsi loss will be
» paid. The committee In ch»rge will
prepare , I understand a statement to
all banks who bought this paper
from the former treasurer, asking
that notes of trust be ec~<*pted from
the executive committee of the South
ern Baptist convention running
Ihroogji a period of ten years, pay
- able SIOO One a year with Interest.
TJiia will ome dtit of the regular
income of tbe Home Shard for the
churches wnd jvlll mean that some'
$150,000 home mhitson work
will have Wube leR year by year.
,? RICH MOND—W*) Richmond police
today received a.telegram from police
authorities of Atlanta, saying thst
Clinton 8. Carnes, missing treasurer

Thin l H Statement of Senator

NASHVILLE. Sept, ft--GP) - Presid
ent < toolidge and the late president
Harding were accused tonight ’by
Senator Jets T. Robluaon with “having
fulled to 'display thut decision of
character necessary for elimination of
crooks and tn competencence from
, their advisers."
He prefaced this statement with »
dvlcaratliHi that he’ made n<> attack
On thT-Ttereoual character of either,
and that the point he sought to drlva
home was that "there leadership baa
not been notable to that degree that
the memory of Mr. Harding could b«
glorified or that President CoolUigo
should be credited because of g/eat
political triumph in either foreign
or dntnestlQ affairs
«
“Had president Harding had one

Smith has shown" the Democratic vice
presidential said “he would
never have Mr. Daugherty at
torney general or*Slr. Dcnby secret
ary of the navy or Mr. Korbes direc
tor of the veterans bureau. '
“Had president Coolidge realised
when sworn Into succeed President
Harding that he must accept respon
sibility for his choice of mlrTscrs, ho
would never have retained Fait, Denby
and Daugherty nor would he have
cougtit to white wash them when putP
