congregation met but after balloting
for several hours IT was unable 10 agree
on any one candidate. although the ia
vorite I'm the voting was the Rev. DR..

Still further trial was given the VIZ

gregation decided to agree on DR.. Hud-
die, who has been assistant pastor Of
Trinity Church. Germantown, for the
past seven years. DIR. Huddle will come
TO Washington in about ten days TO take

Man Convicted of Grand
Larceny.

NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-Judge New
burger received a letter from George
Brooks. a prisoner in the Tombs.
charged with grand larceny. who came
up for sentence. The letter said, in
part:
''I have been in this country fifteen
years. and during that time have served
three terms in jail. All Of this has bee>
my own fault The police have nee
bounded me. and I have no complaint
to make One favor 1 ask. however,
and that Is that you will be lenient with
me this time. I would like to return
home to England. as 1 am very i'll. and
may not live much longer"
This is the first time ever heard of
a criminal who had been three times
in jail who did not say the police had
bounded him. said the judge. and when
Brooks was arraigned for sentence to-
day he received but a year in the peni-
Tertiary. Five years is the usual pen
atty given.
