ANOTHER FIGHT OVER DIR. BRIGGS
strong Episcopal Element Opposed
To His Ordination.

NEW YORK. May 2.-Episcopal clergy
men Of the Diocese Of New York who
are opposed to the admission Of DR..
Charles \. Briggs, Of Union Theological
Seminary. to the priesthood. are anxious
~ awaiting Bishop Potter's next step.
one Of the opponents OF Or. BriGgs's or
dination was able TO learn Saturday
where the Bishop would ordain him. DR..
Briggs went on Saturday to Boston,
where he preached yesterday in Trinity,
the late Phillips Brookss church. Some
Of DR.. Briggs's opponents suggested as
possibility that the former Presbyterian
might be ordained in Trinity by the
Bishop of Massachusetts. Under the
canons Of the Church the Bishop Of Mas
sachusetts could act for the Bishop Of
New York. Two weeks hence Bishop
Potter will advance to the priesthood a
japanese Episcopal deacon. John Is.
Ochiai, who is under the Bishop OF Chi-
cago. Bishop Potter will act for Bishop
McIaren.
But the leaders Of the Episcopal move
ment against DR. Briggs DO not believe
that Bishop Potter seeks TO prevent them
from making the protest which the
canons Of the Church give them the right
10 make. Some of the clergymen i'm the
movement even go 50 far as TO express
the opinion that Bishop Potter really
does not want 10 ordain the Union Theo-
logical Seminary professor. They ask
why the Bishop chose 81. Peters church
in West Chester. for ordination. If ii was
not for the purpose of making sure that
DR. Brggss ordination would be strong
ly opposed. The Bishop, they say, mas
long known the Rev. DR.. Frank NJ Glen
denim Of St. Peters, as pronounced
High Church man of set opinions, man
who has always opposed the higher
criticism" Of the Bible The Bishop
knows him. too. as man who sticks 10
his side OF case. The Bishop, by select
ing st. Peters church FOR the ordination,
virtually challenged DR.. Clendenin. these
people say TO lead the fight against Or.
Briggs.
DR. Briggs Episcopal opponents are
devising plans TO prevent the ordination.
II he is not ordained before his opponents
gather their forces, il Is probable that
charge Of heresy will be drawn up ana
presented 10 the Bishop. This Will neces-
state the holding Of an ecclesiastical
court 20 try DIR. Briggs. Among the
many letters received by DR.. Clendenin
from Episcopal clergymen endorsing ms
stand IS one from n clergyman IN d
neighboring diocese advising him 10 make
a protest during the ordination.

lawsuit Of great interest not only
TO the legal profession, but to the laity
I'm general has just been instituted in
Washington. Briefly. IL Is an action LOT
damages brought by one dry-goods con-
Germ against another, the complaint De-
| ing that the defendant tried TO induce
certain clerk TO leave plaintiffs service

keep the much-desired employee ule
plaintiff was compelled to pay MN
larger salary, and though the clerk was
doubtless greatly pleased at this uneX-
pected turn of events. his employer ana
not view the matter in the same cheerful
light.
OF course. the laws OF master and SER
want make many provisions for the pro-
lection of the former against third per-
sons. but If the court decides in favor
Of this plaintiff it will establish mon
strous principle which would crush the
ambitions Of millions Of young men
throughout the land. The average clerk
though a chronic victim of the behei
that he is not sufficiently paid, Is forever
buoyed up by the hope that some day his
services will be IN demand. Possibly, he
cherishes the hope that his boss VIII
give him a raise" and when this. hope
is abandoned-as it too frequently is-he
clngs 10 the idea that he stil has
chance with some other house. in TRUTH
rival concerns frequently buy the en-
ployees of other houses by offering them
more money. and many man owes his
success to just such pieces of good for
tune. OF course, if clerk has made
contract whereby he binds himself to
serve certain employer for a given
length Of time, he cannot violate the
agreement without subjecting himself to
the possibility of a lawsuit, but where he
works on from year to year without any
definite understanding as to the matter,
he should be expected to keep his eyes
open and look around for chances that
would better him.

Views of the Franchise Tax.

(New York Neutrality-suspicious.
As was 10 be expected, the passage Of
the Ford franchise bill in the closing
hours of the session, after it's opponents
had made up their minds that it was
beaten, has caused a cOmmotion among
those charged with the management Of
large corporate interests. Whatever may
be thought about the merits OF the bill,
which is certain TO be made a law by the
signature of the Governor inasmuch as
his energetic advocacy carried it through
the Assembly, everybody recognizes its
great importance, and many of those
whom il most concerns are already eX-
pressing interesting though, perhaps
rather premature, opinions as to its pro-
bable effects. 1t is curious to note a
somewhat radical disagreement respecting
the nature and operation of the act on
the part of men wno. speaking in a more
or less representative capacity for large
corporations, might be expected TO hold
similar views. Thus, Mr.. Edward Lauter-
bach sees no reason why transportation
companies should be alarmed or their
stocks decline, except under speculative
Influences, though he Is apparently in
clined to disapprove of the law as an at
tempt at double taxation. Mr.. Russell
Sage, on the other hand. is plainly discon-
certed. and speaks with considerable
warmth against the proposed taxation OF
franchises lie says that the law is un-
fair; that IL is otherwise Objectionable

The New York Consolidated Gas Com

Light Company have given notice Of a
reduction, TO take effect Immediately, in
the price of gas from S1.1O TO 6 cents a
1000 cubic feet The sudden cut OF about
40 per cent. was taken by Wall street to
mean that the two companies had not
only decided to retaliate swiftly and
heavily upon the Standard Gas-Light
Company for alleged injuries suffered by
them at its hands, but had also delivered
q blow. the effect Of which would be to
bring the Standard company into COM

many others that the agitation OF the

much 10 do with the reduction in price.
