Archbishop Of Canterbury Nearly COliapses
During "a speech.

LONDON. Dec. 4.-Ihere vas a pathetic
scene ia the House Of Lords this evening,
which temporarily alarmed and excited
he keen interest Of the comparatively
large number of peers who had assembled
20 discuss the Education ill on it's second
reading
The Archbishop Of Canterbury, who
is becoming Increasingly feeble under the
burden of his 81 years. came to the House
despite his recent irdisp, sition and tho
bitter weather for the purpose Of sharing
in the debate.
He tottered painfully and with difficulty
to his seat, and when his turn came. he
arose slowly and with apparent effort.
His words fell with hating le ltancy, in
contrast with his former sonorous yigor.
He frequently paused for word or idea,
and repeated his points as if arguing in
circles.
His main contention was that the bill did
not go far enough TO relieve the Church of
the heavy financial responsibility for it,
schools He returned again and again TO
his central topic, the poverty Of the clergy.
A he neared the end Of his address, the
Archbishop swayed slightly and sank into
his seat without completing his sentence
There was an instant : pause, and then the
Archbishop rose with an extreme effort and
imprcssively added: Let the bill pass. We
shall see how it will work in practice"
Then he dropped back suddenly to his
seat az if exhausted.
A murmur of sympathetic applause went
around the house, evidently prompted by
personal concern for th' aged prclate.
After a brief rest the Archbishop took the
preferred arm of the Archbishop Of York,
and the two Primatcs paSsod slowly out of
the House amid deep silence.
The son of the Archbishop Of Canterbury
was waiting beyond the barrier beside the
throne and he there passed his arm under
his fathers shoulder on the side opposite
the Archbishop of York and together they
half carried his Grace of Canterbury into
an adjoining room. After rest he was
driven to his home.
Subsequent inquiry at Lambeth Palace
elected the information that the collapse
of the Archbishop was not due TO sudden
indisposition, but to the same weakness of
the limbs which caused n scene that awoke

District Attorney Jerome severely criti-
cised the Detective Bureau yesterday for

palmiest days could the Bowery produce
such an aggregation Of crooks a. nfest

PREPARING TO TRY HAV0HEYP
Partridge Stops His Getting Out With q
Pension.

All OF the charges that have been pre-
pared in the District Attorneys Office
against policemen have been filed, but il
was said yesterday on what was regarded
rs good authority that Assistant District
Attorney Morgan would begin to-day the
preparation of charges against Capt
Haughey Of the West Thirty-seventh street
police station II was said that the charges
will include one Of neglect Of duty at the
East l04th street station. where he pre-
coded Capt. Moynihan. who is also under
indictment for bribery while In command
there.
Commissioner Partridge refused yea
terday to accept Haughey's application
for retirement with pension. His action
was based on an opinion from the Corpora
ton Counsel holding that the present law
Affects all members Of the force without
reference to the time Of their appoint
ment. Under the present law, unless
man liz a veteran or has been declared physi-
cally unfit, he cannot To retired on pension
until he has reached the age Of IS. Capt
the department the law permitted re-
tirement after twenty years of service.
The campaign which Jerome and Par
fridge are carrying on IL by no means ended.
The next victim, according to good
authority, will be captain who not long
ago was transferred from north OF Central
Park to downtown precinct. The charges
against him, it is said. will be similar
TO those leading up to the dismissal Of
Moynihan. who was found guilty OF using
policemen on private work; All the eT-
dence in this new case is said to be in the
hands Of the District Attorney. but 1t may
not be used for some time vet

to his indictment for bribery yesterday.

that a demurrer will be interposed.
