BISHOP CODMAN'S DENIAL
OF Recent Alleged Unerancss About Maine
People Seems Satisfactory.

Undoubtedly II is often the best policy
for a man whose public utterances have
been misrepresented to allow the matter
to pass without discussion. But this
would hardly be wise in the case of such
a gross Misrepresentation as Bishop Cod
man has recently been subjected to by a
Boston paper. He SQuarely denies the
words attributed to him, and that set
ties it.
Bishop Goldman was seen at his resi-
dence. Saturday afternoon, by reporter
as to his alleged utterances regarding the
iliteracy of the people Of Maine. II did
not mean IL and ! did not say it, said
he. There was not one sentence in the
published report | uttered. though posi-
bly, there were some | might have en-
dorsed."
The bishop had gone to Boston High
lands TO hold his confirmation services in
the church of which he was rector when
elected to the headship of this diocese.
Naturally his talk on the occasion was OF
a personal and familiar character.
In reply to a question, saturday, Bishop
Goldman said he tried in his address to

whom his lot is now cast. and so far
from saying they were Illlterate. referred

small Then | said that comparatively
few people in the State knew anything
about our church" After that he went
on to tell his hearers that he should Try
to carry the same message to those VINO
heard him in his new home that he mad
been wont to deliver to the people oil
RoXbury.
1t was not illiteracy or Ignorance in gen,
eral of which he spoke. but plainly and
specifically ignorance of his church and
its teachings.
Said the bishop. very plainly: 81 did not
use the word 'illIteraCy.' Ignorance OF the
church was all the ignorance | spoke of. .
That careless reporting should have led
a Boston newspaper to accuse the bIshop
of charging Names people with general
ignorance, when he explicitly spoke OF
them as of unusual Intelligence, but not
church. must have been an annoying
thing to new conner among us, but his
denial ought to end the discussion.-Port-

of six feet in the woods and when the
last rain came this now became nearly

ton makes it impracticable to attempt

Recorder Goff told the grand jury that
he had given orders to the clerk of the
court to direct the city magistrates to
send all complaints triable in the court
of general sessions direct to the clerk of
that court instead of the old district at
torney's office as has been the practice.
1T is but fair to say said the re-
corder. that this system has not grown
up under the present district attorney. 1t
is of long standing, but it must be
stopped. | have. therefore. directed the
clerk to send notice to the police and to
the magistrates directing them that all
complaints must be sent to the clerk OF
this court and not to the district at

THE SLIDING SCALE.
Latest Conference Of Fall River MIlImen and
Employees Without Result.

Fall River, Mass, March 19.-The
conference of the committees from the
Textile Council and the Manufacturers
Association to decide upon a sliding
scale was without definite result, al
though propositions were submitted by
the manufacturers. A slight conces-
sion is offered inasmuch that the
maximum wages will be paid when the
margin reaches 1913 instead of 105. The
argument was made that prices of ma
terials are now high and If a scale was
to be drawn up now even higher mar
gins would be fixed upon as a basis in
the scale prcsented by the textile com
mittee. thc latter will report back to
the main body the proposition Of the
manufacturers.
