31 (Universal Service.) Oov. Franklin D. Roosevelt ha repudiated Democratic tactics In soliciting campaign funds which were branded by G. A. Eddy, Chicago business man.

as tantamount to "political blackmail." Roosevelt has telegraphed Eddy his disapproval of two letters received by the Chicago man from A. P. Homer of the Democratic committee 's finance division, In which, according to Republican campaign directors, the Chicagoan was reminded that Rooeevelt when as-elfiUnt secretary of navy had done -favors" for him in connection with var contracts. On receipt of the second letter, TXdy complained to Roosevelt, stating his belief that "the information on which the demand upon me for funds was made apparently mui have come from you." reply said: -Any solicitation for money was not only without authority, but would not have been accepted if received, as I do not believe in suh solicitation. As I rememoer it, the man writing you represented you in Washington at one time and doubtless acted on his own responsibility on account of that fact.

"The tragedy of the eviction of this force was the result of a deliberate conspiracy on the part of Pat Hurley and Gen.

McArthur to build Hoover up into the picture of a strong, silent man combatting the forces of radicalism. In spite of the protests cf Gen. Glassford that troops were not needed nor wanted, a formidable force of Infantry, cavalry, tanks and machine guns was ordered out. "This formidable array was held up back of the White House for an hour and a half in order that the brave Oen.

Auutunues ioaay learned tlai spikes had been remoM from rails on a hlgb curve of tta Baltimore and' Ohio Railroad oiet which President Hoover's tptdjl train passed Saturday. The srikes were fmmrf signed by merchants and manufacturers', chiefly of the city of Baltimore, requesting a protective tariff hi order that they might have industrial freedom as well as political freedom. That was the first petition acted upon by the congress. Thus. the first piece of legislation signed by George Washington as President was a protective tariff measure passed in resnonse to a petition from the State of Maryland.

From that day to this your varied industries have grown and thrived under protective tariffs. They havs wilted and shriveled whenever that tariff has been lowered or when those pro-testions have been abandoned. "The livelihood of your workmen ar eps'uliarlv dependent upon it. Your agriculture is in particular danger from lowering of these tariffs because you are situated close-to the seaboard and close to the Doint of attack of foreign imports. At this precise moment there is scarcely an agricultural product In your state that could.

(By U. President Hoover left Washington today for an Intensive campaign through eastern seaboard states which will reach its climax in a speech 1 1 New York tonight. The Pres'danfs special train started at 10:42 a. m. (9:42 a.

m. St. Louis time). Mn Hoover will reach New York after eight campaign speeches in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Republican leaders characterized tonight's address at Madison Square Garden as "one of the hottest ot tha campaign." Julius Klein, assistant secretary of commerce, and New York Republican leaders prepared some of the material for the Madison Square Garden speech.

"It will be a hot one." Klein said emphatically. He would not discuss it further. The President's other plans for this final week of the campaign include another drive into the middle Zion Evangelical Institution, Born 72 Years Ago, Boasts a Membership of 2,700. THE following article Is one of a series being published by the Star and Times, setting forth the historical background of churches and congregations of all denominations in St. Louis.

Information from pastors and church of-ficials dealing with their particular congregations Is invited. Address communications to the Church Editor of the Star and Times. Seventy-two years ago a small group of Germans In what was then the northern outskirts of St. Louis built the first Zion Evangelical Luth-rran Church at Blair avenue and Warren street.

The structure with the ground on which it stood had cost $13,014, a sizeable sum in those days. Through the expanse of years the small congregation grew and from time to time added to the initial investment until S220.951 had been spent. The result Is an imposing church edifice and a school with numerous recreational facilities which occupy almost two square blocks at Twenty-first and Benton streets. Zion Church owes its birth to members of the Immanuel Church. wv.o, in 1859.

built a parochial school at Fourteenth and Warren streets and a year later constructed the first Zion Church. As the church developed the school became an integral part of it until today the eight grades have an attendance of 301 children. The first pastor of Zion Church was the Rev. V. C.

Boese. who served until 1373, when he was succeeded by the Rev. George Link. In 1886, the Rev. Henry Sleek, father of the present pastor, was called to the church, but remained only three years as limestone dust from the city's streets proved Injurious to his wife's health.

The next pastor, the Rev. Charles F. Obermeyer. was with the church over twenty-fie years and officiated at the first service In the present edifice. The present pastor, the Rev.

Louis J. Sleek, feels a close relationship with Zion Church as his family has served It in different ways for almost a half century. Besides his father there is his wife, who is the daughter of the Rev. Obermeyer, who died in 1914. Dr.

Sleek has guided the church for twenty-seven years, having first served as assistant pastor. Church Dedicated in 1803. Zion Church, a striking limestone structure designed in the German Gothic style, was built at a cost of $83,725. It was dedicated December 22, 1893. Against its gray walls brightly colored windows stand out sharply and an iron grill fence and gates add a touch of tlw unusual.

The auditorium, seating 1,400, has entrances on three sides, Albert Knell was the architect. i The altar and pulpit are of Italian marbls and were built In St. Louis by the pioneer firm of Schoeder Conradl. The altar has three statuary figures, the Ascension in the center with Moses and Peter on either side. Figures of the evangelists, Matthew.

Mark, Luke and John, adorn the pulpit which stands to the of the altar. To the left is a marble baptismal font.

"The demand for immediate cash payment of the bonus has unquestionably been immensely strengthened by the disgraceful conduct of Secretary Hurley in ordering out regular troops to burn and pillage the miserable hovels of the veterans who had gone to Washington to advocate the payment, of the bonus.

Washington chief of police, has borne witness to the good behavior and high character of these bonus marchers and to the fact that troops were not needed to induce them to move out. "The charges of Attorney General Mitchell that the force contained a lot cf criminals was an afterthoughj in an effort to justify indefensible conduct on the part of the administration. Even after he had included arrests for such offenses as vagrancy, begging, possession of liquor, and even arrests on suspicion where the man was proved innocent.

Roosevelt, if elected, would encourage construction of a full treaty nav7, wert assailed In a statement issued yesterday b7 the Republican National Committee. Charles M.

Bchwab, chairman of the board, and Eugene Orace, president of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and other leading shipbuilders have received appeal letters from A. P. Homer of the Democratic committee's finance division, the statement declared. The letter to Schwab, as quoted by the committee, cald: "As a result of the events of the last three weeks, we believe that If the shipbuilders of the United States are to get a square deal it will be necessary to make a change November 8. I hope you are in accord with this idea.

"If so, we ask that you help us with a contribution to the campaign fund of Oov.

The oldest living member is Mrs. Amalla Hopmann, who is 92 years of age. The Sunday School classes are varied and range from the cradi? roll to persons past middle age.

A special Sunday School teachers' class has had as many as twenty-five members. John M. Runge, educational director, has supervision over the grade school as well as the Sunday School. Bowling Alley In BuUdlrg. In 1909 the first section of the present grade school was built on Benton street opposite the church at a cost of $26,266.

In 1929 the school was enlarged and a gymnasium and bowling alley added at a cost cf The gymnasium provides ample space and facilities for the school's athletic activities. On a stage at one end plays are occasionally presented. The bowling alley, besides being a much patronized place of recreation, provides revenue for both school and church. The school and church organizations have eight basketball teams and a volley ball league. A basketball pennant was won in 1930 by the senior boys.

J. G. Grundmann. young people's director, has charge of these activities. The social and charitable funci tlons of the church are carried on by the Ladies' Society, Men's Society, Young People's Walther League, Junior Walther League, Dorcas Society and the Kappa Theta Delta.

Cn the second floor of the school building adjoining the gymnasium is a large dining and meeting room. Attached to this is a modern kitchen. On special occasions banquets are given and as many as 800 persons attending one of these have filled both gymnasium and dln'ng room. The kitchen also provides noon lunches for the school These lunches are served at COft. Originally the district in which Zion Church stands was composed largely of Germans.

There Is special music on this day honoring living and departed mothers. Aid for Orphans. Zion Church thinks cf its little untortunates, the orphans, cn Harvest Home Day, which comes on the Sunday preceding Thanksgiving. On this day children fron the Lutheran Orphanage in the county are brought to the church.

Previous to their coming great quantities of food donated by merchants in the district are stacked around the altar. After the children have attended service they ar guests at a dinner and are then sent back to the orphanage with the donated foyd. The church has three choirs of fifty members each, under the direction of E. H. Thuernau, musical director of both church and school.

On special religious days like Christmas these choirs are combined, creating music of such beauty that, as Dr. Sieck savs, "people leave the church inspired." Zion Church is one of three in the city that have twenty-e'ght bell chimes played by the handle stroke. These chimes make the church the district's central attraction on Sunday as they can be heard for a great distance. William Wesche has faithfully climbed the stairs to the belfry for twenty years to play the chimes. The church has had the same difficulties with acoustics that others of similar age have encountered.

A faw years ago a public speaking system was installed with acousticon service for the deaf. Now a speaker can be heard quite plainly at the rear of the auditor uni and in the gallery. There are 2.700 members in the congregation which includes 840 attending Sunday Schoot. The 80-year-old vice president. Louis Stocko.
