Gould Neither Fly Nor
Float

New York, Oct 4.-Herr Kres, inven
tor of an airship, started Thursday af
ternoon on another trial flight on the
Tullnerbacher reservoir, says the Wen
ma correspondent of the Herald
The result was disastrous After go
ing a certain distance Herr Kress start
ed his motor at full speed ahead. which
caused the forward part of the flying
machine TO rise about IS centimeters
out of the water. On rising to this
height the whole machine suddenly lost
its equilibrium and swung over to the
right This caused it to I'LL with water
and il sank like stone The water at
this point is Is metres deep.
Herr Kress, who was alone in the fly
ing machine, was carried down with the
ship, but thanks TO the life preserver
he wore, he came to the surface and
was able to grasp the poles which the
officer and enginenan who were wit
nesses of the accident, held out to him
The aged inyentor-he is more than 10
years of age-was in a very exhausted
condition. and had sustained some
slight injuries. He was taken home to
Purkersdorf.

FIGHT ON DIVORCE.
Episcopal Church Convention Has
Trouble Ahead of It

San Francisco, Oct-4.-The attitude of
the Protestant Episcopal church in
America toward divorce and the remar-
rage of divorced persons is sure to give
rise to much debate during the present
general convention. A majority report.
prepared by some OF the most learned
bishops, clerical and lay deputies, will
come up for action, recommending that
the church adopt canon Il. preventing
minister of the church from solemn
izing a marriage between any two per
sons unless, or until by inquiry, he shall
have satisfied himself that neither per-
son has been or is the husband or wife
of any other person then living.
This is a sweeping law, not recognize
ing even inf1delity as cause for divorce,
and not permitting Episcopal clergy
men to solemnize the marriage of an
innocent party in a divorce The &C
taking this extreme stand are called,
in based on the ground that the
church is called upon to register it's
protest against the laxity on the SUBJ
ject of divorce that prevails in the Uni
ted States As stated by one of the
signers of the report, There seems no
way in which the church can avoid
completely in divorces of the most scan
dalous character except in SO far as it
may refuse to assume any responsible
clergy to solemnize the marriage OF di-
vorced persons in any case whatever"
One of the dilemmas upon which church
legislators find themselves say the
rigorists. is that they must put the ban
on all divorces, innocent and guilty,
without distinction. as there is no ju-
diciaI system, civil or ecclesiastical thar
will enable US to discover the innocent
parties in divorce cases" Therefore
they argue. they must forbid the clergy
- Al
vorced persons
This extreme stand is a departure
from the precedent established by the
church in 1908. when a resolution was
adopted authorizing the solemnization
of marriage of an innocent party to q
divorce when the cause was infidelity.
The opponents OF the radical idea assert
that their position is based on the
words of Christ as given in Matthew g.
They oppose the rigorists the further
grounds that such refusal to solemnlze
marriage would put stigma @on mar
riages which are honorable and lawful;
that it would create two kinds of mat
rim ony, holy and unholy, in che sight
of the church, that il would ALLEVIATE
church members who have been taught
to believe that innocent parties in df-
vorce are entitled TO remarTy: that 1t
will weaken the influence of the church
with the American people, who may
conclude that the church is welded 70
medieval ideas and attempting to be
stricter than the head of the church
himself and that such church 1egisla-
ton would be in effect a reputation of
the teachings of the master.
