Mahatma Gandhi dropped his ceaseless pinnlng to attend a Christian religious service today aboard this liner, which Is taking India's nationalist leader to the London round-table conference. As a compliment to" India's "Holy One," Captain H. Morton Jack had the famous Hindu's favorite Chris tlan hymn, "Lead, Kindly Light," sung. In the solemn stillness of th Red Sea, Gandhi's own tiny, lisping voice was easily distinguishable above the others. At Suez he was warmly welcomed by Egyptians and Indians, who greeted him with addresses of appreciation.

They declared his attempts to liberate India "were an Inspiration to Egyptians to shake off the foreign yoke." As at Aden, Arabia, Gandhi appealed to Moslem Egyptians to help cement Hindu-Moslem unity. Tne genial Gandhi continues to enjoy his sea voyage. He romps with children, caresses babies and jokes with parents. Apparently the most comfortable passenger on this steamer in the burning heat of the Red Sea, he said he would modify his loincloth costume in England only if the weather turns cold. In that case he would don.

heavy woollen loin cloth reaching to his ankles and wear a white homespun jacket. When the Mahatma awoke this morning he found a large carica ture, of his emaciated self pinned to his cabin door. "It is not so bad," he said, "but It Is incomplete, because the artist failed to sign it." Gandhi continues to receive scores of telegrams from various parts of the world, inviting him to lecture, seeking statements, Inquir ing about his programme in England and wishing him success at the round-table conference. Among them Is a radio greeting from Mine, Zaghlul. widow of a famous Egyptian -nationalist, and a message from Romain Holland, his French admirer and biographer, who said that if his health permitted he would meet Gandhi at Dijon on the way to London.

NO PROGRAMME ARRANGED. The Mahatma has drawn up no formal programme either for the round table conference or for his stay In England. Although he has received many requests to speak in he has decided that since he will be the guest of the British Government, it would be improper for him to make any public utter ances without the consent of Premier MacDonald. A. London newspaper asked him whether he would attend the thea tre, social lunctions ana piaces or amusement, and whether he would visit Lancashire.

"I have neither the desire nor the time to indulge in social func tions or amusements," he replied. "I will visit jjancasnire invuea and will make myself accessible to all men and women in England who are Interested in India's situation." In preparation for the confer ence, he has been reading volumes of the first round-table proceed ings, but these invariably cause htm to fall asleep, one passenger was prompted to offer him detective stories, but he declined to read them. In his loneliness aboard ship, the leader of India's movement for independence has made frittids with a family of missionaries in Ihe cabin opposite his. While, he will not commit him self regarding invitations to visit the United States, it is still possible, friends say, that he will pay a quick visit to New Tork provided he succeeds at the London con ference. 1 1 He spends evenings aboard shin lecturing to Indian students and others on religion, philosophy and kindred subjects.

All squat on the upper deck under the stars listening to his words. Cowansville Town Council to Examine Electoral Lists (Special to The Gazette.) Cowansville, September 5. At the Town Council meeting, held this week, A. J. E.

KAYE DON WINS IN FIRST HEAT (Continued from Page One) knowledge ot the river to man oeuvre Into a favorable position. The American had been taking Don's wake for a lap and a half when the turn was reached. As the Irish driver slowed down a bit to negotiate the bend, Wood nodded to his mechanic, Orlin Johnson, to give the boat the gun. With exhaust pipes belching forth flame and smoke the mahogany-hued Miss America IX shook loose from the shackles of Don's wake.

"He crept up on the outside and drew slightly ahead. But this move had its drawback, as Miss America swerved in near shore it encountered rougher water and the boat started to buck like a preverse broncho, GAR WOOD SLOWS DOWN. Wood had only one recourse, that was to slow down, otherwise both he and Johnson would have been tossed out of the boat and hurled to certain injury on the river ur-face. So, slow down he did, and Miss England darted away to a lead that was never questioned and never challenged for the remainder of the trip. Even at the start Jt was Miss England that thundered down the straightaway in the lead with Miss America IX on Its right a length behind, and Miss America VIII on its left, still another length to the There could be no disputing the relative speeds of the three boats on the straightaway.

Miss England holds the world' record of 110.223 miles an hour and the America IX has never bettered 103. But it was on the turns that Detrcit placed It reliance for a triumph fcr tho silver-haired ehamnlon from Algonae.

What is moro to Don's credit is that he operated not only the wheel, but used a foot accelerator, whereas in the other two boats the Wood brothers handled only the wheel with Johnson taking care of tho throttle In Miss America IX. and V.inee Smith in Miss America VIII, Conditions were almost perfect to day. A hot sun beat down steadily all day and there were but faint traces ot white leathery clouds In the sky.

What wind there was came down stream with the current, so that the breeze ruffled the river only slightly. Out in mid-stream pennants flapped lazily from the About naif an hour beforo the start Miss England II, was towed up-stream from Thompsons boat- well, while the two Miss Americas remained at Grayhaven at the rlverhead. As the sleek white-hulled English craft plodded along behind a runabout sirens shrieked and the spectators on the shoreline broke out in a shout. Miss England II. tied up near the starting line as Don's youthful mechanics, Dick Garner and Roy Platford.

worked diligently to get the two 2,000 horsepower Rolls Royce motors tuned up. As the live-minute warning gun boomed, there was a roar from the challenging bow and off It shot up stream. Minutes ticked by and then an ever-swelling roar from the three boats served to indicate that they were slamming down the river to the start. Then around the pier head they came, deafening lit the terrific din that thundered from their engines. Two lengths away from the start the gun cracked once more and the race was on.

It was a beautiful start, even as could be reasonably expected, but ahead of the 1930 and 1931 defenders sped Miss England II. Around the turn they swept as one, the eruclal test for the chal lenger. If It could hold its lead there the race was lost to the United States. It held Its lead, and Into the golden sheen of the sun's reflection on the water Miss England II. plunged and came out ot It, far to the fore.

Darting away In the back stretch to an advantage of 100 yards. Miss England JL lield It for the first five- mile: laj), almost lost It olt the nt turn but then stepped ahetd further and further, making a mere pro cession out of a test that had for eleven years resulted In a clean sweep for Wood and his long line of Miss Americas, By the second lap Miss England II. had a quarter mile lead. By the third it was three-quarters and the fourth a full mile. After five laps Don was more than a mile and then slowed down for Ms final circuit When Don turned in his fastest lap, 83.017 miles per hour, he was going faster than 110 miles per hour on the straightaway, time never before recorded outside of a special world's record attempt, COURSE IS GOURD-SHAPED.

The race was held over a five-mile gourd-shaped course between the Detroit mainland and Belle Isle, which lies perhaps half a mile off shore. There were four turns with the shortest turn at the eastern end ot the island. The crowd aUo filed along the huge Belle Isle bridge, but were kept moving by city police, so that only an approximate estimate would be made ot their numbers. But In addition to the shore pro per and the bridge, thousands more spectators crowded the long row of apartment houses and hotels along the river bank. Detroit and vicinity came to see the race today, and swelling the numbers were thou sands of Canadians from Just across the line.

Miss England II. Is a beautiful boat. She is 88 feet six Inches long and 10 feet six inches wiile, and weighs 15 tons when ready for racing, She Is powered with two Rolls Royce engines developing 2,000 horsepower each. Her high speed propellor, a British invention in speed design, revolves at the amazing rate of 12,000 revolutions per minute, tier rudder is just a tiny plata so small that many ex- Dressed amazement that Don is able to control his heavy boat with such a diminutive affair. But desnlte the size of the rud der, the British pilot appeared to have little difficulty In bringing tne boat out of those flying skids.

Tonight all Detroit Is "steamed up" about the day's performance. On every corner the question Is asked: "Just how fast Is Miss England?" It is known of course, that Don sent her skimming over Lake Garda In Italy to break the world record and hang up a mark ot 110 miles an hour. Today he hit better than 100 on the straightaway. Obvious ly he had more speed left but had no need to use It. And from the way he drove today it seemed just as obvious that if neoessary he would use all he had to beat Wood in the next heat, In saying he was satisfied with his boat's performance, Wood stated his belief that with superchargers on Miss America's engines the craft is capable of a greater speed than the 110 miles of Miss England.

Before the race he expressed thti opinion that the chargers had added 15 miles an hour to the defender's capacity of 101 miles an hour.
