in the preface to his recently issued
book on the death Penalty" DR.. Josiah
Oldfeld tells how he wrote to all the
bishops Of the Anglican church "asking
their opinion as to whether they thought
the time had not come when this barba.
FOus penalty could nOt-at any rate ex-
perimentally-be suspended?"
The bishop Of Gloucester answered
that in his opinion "the present law
should be maintained" The bishop OF
Wakefield saw mo particular reason why
the law in regard to capital punishment
need be altered at the present time"
The bishop Of LANDAU believed that
''tO abolish or experlmentalIy suspend the
inhictiOn OF capital punishment would
lead to an increase in crime. The bishoE
of Truro was clear that the death penalty
was necessary and must be perpetual
ed"
The bishop Of Exeter CDR. Bickersteth
did mot wish to see the abolition Of cap
ital punishment" He believes the word
as a general rule should guide US Of Gen
esis *. @. The bishop Of Worcester wa
decidedly In flavor Of DEATH"
The bishop Of Rochester and the bishOl
Of SOuthwell were clear that the dealt
penalty must be definitely perpetuated.
The bishop Of Derry incidentally dis
cussed the ''lawfulness Of war; and tn
''slavlsh Interpretation Of our Lord
words" and finally wound up with an az
prOVal OF capital punishment.

bishops said DR.. Oldfeld does not tell Vi

other position than that hanging shout

Washington, June 26.-The court Of
appeals yesterday denied the motion
of Lone Wolf and other KiOwa and Co.
manche Indians for a special appeal
from the decision of Judge Bradley, re-
fusing an injunction against the sec

ficials to prevent the opening of the

holds Judge Bradley's denial of the
injunction to be not a final decree and
says the case must proceed in the dis

appeal then to the court Of appeals and
the United States supreme court. The

EXECUTIVE CLEMENCY
For Bank Cashier Whose Kindness

Washington, June 26.-The presi-
dent yesterday pardoned Charles W.
Mussey, former cashier of the National
bank, of Rutland, VT, who was convict
ed last year of the misapplication Of
800, 900 of the funds of the bank and
sentenced to seven years in the house
of correction. Mussey did not benefit
by the misapplication of the funds, but
permitted a friend financially irrespon-
sible to overdraw to the amount stated.
This showing, together with the fact
that he Is critically i'll, induced the
president to grant his application for
pardon.
District Attorney James L. Martin
in reporting on the case to the depart
ment of justice, said that Mussey had
been cashier for nearly Is years and
always maintained an excellent reputa
ton, but was decidedly weak in resist
ing personal appeals, and especially
from those he regarded as friends

little Of their human intelligence for a

stinct of animals and birds leads them
to cooperate for mutual protection; 1t
teaches them never to make war on
each other; to provide In summer the
food which will be needed in winter,
or migrate at the proper season. This
same instinct is a sure indicator OF
