Another straw vote was harvested. Editor & Publisher, trade weekly of journalism, polled the executives of 925 newspapers throughout the U. S.

...arrested, condemned and put in prison. . . . M. Hearst placed at the disposition of his collaborator a sum which in the country of dollars perhaps seems small, but which in the land of paper francs means something. One talks of $5,000 or $10,000.

On the New York Curb, the stock was rising from a low of 23½ to around 50. But most of the company's outstanding 100,000 shares were not for sale, and President Marx is reported to have asked and got $70 a share for his block...
...articles of religion, heritage of the English Church. The 39 articles, said the protestants, give to the Church an identity apart from the Roman Catholic Church. Should the articles be excluded, they argue, a not-to-be-desired tendency toward Romanism will be followed. Neither the "high" nor the "low" churchmen have taken either side. It was probable that the matter might be referred to a joint commission of bishops & deputies, which would report in 1931, lest an embarrassing controversy arise at the convention.
