EYICTIONS DOUBLE.
Five Hundred Cases in the New York
Courts

New York, May NEARLY 500 eviction
cases came up in the fourth municipal
court yesterday. Many of the evicted
tenants told pitiful stories.
The increase in the number Of evic-
tons on this May l, over May / last
year. IS said to be about 100 per sent,
and the increase over the number on
April l of this year about 25 per cent.
This state OF affairs is partially due to
the fact that the tearing away of tene-
ment buildings to make way for the
approach to the East river bridge and
of others to make way for parks has
diminished the dwelling area of this dis
trict considerably.

APOLOGY FOR THE CHURCH.
Effort to Explain Away the Wander
bilt Marriage.

Albany. n. Y. May 2.-The Rt. Rev.
William Crosweu Doane, D D., Protest.
ant Episcopal bishop of Albany, who Is
known throughout the United States as
being strenuously opposed to the mar
rage Of divorced persons, asserts that
the church OF England had nothing to
do with the recent marriage of William
h Vanderbilt and Mrs. Rutherford in
mony was sanctioned by one of its
chancellors. whom he regards in the
same light as civil official who issues
licenses in this country. The bishop
said:
1T is a very grave scandal. but the
bishop of England had nothing to do
with it beyond the fact that Mr.. Van
derbilt secured a clergyman OF the
church to marry him He applied to the
chancellor for the license and got It.
The chancellor's position in England is
about the same as that of civil officials
who issue licenses in this country. The
BISHOP of London had nothing to do
with it and therefore the church herself
was not involved"
COULDN'T HAPPEN HERE.
New York, May Bishop Frederick
Burgess, OF the Long Island Episcopal
diocese, speaking of the marriage. said:
This could not possibly occur in this
country, as our ecclesiastical laws of the
Episcopal church would not for a mo-
nent cermit it. have no doubt what
ever that the Rev. Mr.. Hadden. who
performed the cermony, Will be repri-
manded. In this country it would re-
suit in the clergyman being suspended
from his diocese. and this would viz
tually be a complete suspension from
the church. as he could not enter any
other diocese.
q am personally very much opposed
to divorced people marrying in the
Episcopal church, even though one may
be innocent"
