DR.. BRIGGS ORDINATION
Episcopal clcrgymon Threaten

Episcopal Clcrsymon Threaten
Changes of Hercsy Against him.
New York Times: Bishop Potter is
still celebrating upon the question Of
the ordination Of DR.. Briggs as priest
Of the Protestant Episcopal church.
And while the bishop dellberates, the
discussion Of the question spreads and
increases in intensity.
1t is generally thought that there Is
no doubt that the bishop Is willing to
ordaln the author OF the famous and
controversy-stirrns book, General In
PRODUCTION to the Study OF the Holy
Scriptures" His action in notifying the
Rev, DR.. F. NJ. Clendenin, OF St. Pet
er's. Westchester. that the ordination
services would be performed in the lat
ter's church Is considered as commIt-
ting him completely to this position.
The offer OF Grace church by DR.. Hunt
ington for these services was declined
by the bishop merely because he had in
mind at that time St. Peters, Westches-
ter. for this purpose.
Since this notification OF Dir. Cienden-
80 SShSthA tuSslIOlIo nave uElSHu
more or less affect the situation. DR..
Clendenins request that the ordination
services be not performed in his church
has been granted by the bishop. 1t Is
now thought likely that DR.. Hunting
tons offer Of Grace church may be &C.
cepted.
The objections OF DR.. ClendenIn have
resulted, however, in Increasing the
vigor and scope of the controversy The
doctor said yesterday that every mail
brings him letters from clergynen and
laymen protesting against the ordina-
ton .of, DR.. Briggs and sustaining hin, In
the position he has taken. One Of these,
from n clergyman, said that he could
not understand why Dr. Briggs should
want to enter the priesthood OF church
that processes beliefs that he publicly
scouts. 1t Is quite probable that either
DR.. Clendenin or some OF those who
agree with his views will prefer
charges Of heresy against DR.. Briggs II
he Insists upon being ordained. {.
DR.. Briggs has said that he Is not
particular about ordination. as he can,
as deacon In the Protestant Episcopal
church. teach and preach as he may de-
sire. This position OF the doctor may
settle the controversy in It's present
stage. without having It run to danger
Gus length. Dr.. ClendeRln said yester-
day that the opposition has strong
hope that DR.. Briggs vii! himself solve
the problem he has raised by Withdraw
Ing his request for ordination. 1t seems
likely that DR.. Briggs may rest content
with what he has obtained In the way
of recognition by the Protestant EpIsco-
pal church, and ask Bishop Potter to
consider his request 20 enter the priest
hood as withdrawn. DR.. Briggs may oil
SO go TO Europe soon. ana In this way
let the controversy die out fo.. want Of

don and q number of professionals rsal-
lied profits on stocks bought at the low
figure yesterday. Much OF the buying
appeared to be covering Of shorts. The
early trading continued the strength Of
yesterdays closing but realizing and
sales on the theory that the recovery
had been too rapid took the snap out
OF the market. The weakness Of the
coalers was on heavy sales by n promI-
nent holder who had been carrying q
long line OF these properties. Disap-
pointment was expressed In some quar-
tiers that no announcement was forth
coming concerning coal deal now that
the New Jersey Legislature has been ad-
Journed for some time. Tho steel and
wire stocks displayed flrmness on the
belief that negotiations were pending
to consolidate q number of these prop
critics. Although nothing positive as to
the details could be learned it was said
that q capitalization OF over half a BILL
lion dollars was contemplated. The APP
plication OF American Steel and Wire
to be listed by the exchange together
with dividend gossips was an aid to the
stock. Brooklyn Rapid Transit nuctu-
ated early and closed with over point
advance. Peoples Gas and Pacific Mall
were also strong. The general railway
list was fractionally lower. Consoll-
dated Gas recovered somewhat on COW
erlnG but on the increase cutting OF gas
prices again broke several points and
closed nearly 2 per cent off on the day.
The arrangement to retire the first pre-
ferred stock Of Minneapolis and St.
Louis caused rise Of over points in

pool accounts In American Spirits and
Sugar was said to account for the
weakness In these properties. The mar
ket closed weak. se
