MILLIONAIRE CHIEF OF
FIRE DEPARTMENT OUT
M. w. Bronson Resigns the Lead
ership of Larclmont's Fire
Fighters on Short Notice.
MAY LEAD TO TROUBLE

LARCHMONT, N. Y, April 17.-Trouble is
brewing among Larchmont's wealthy fire
fighters over the sudden resignation of
Chief MAYHEM w. Bronson. the yachts
man, who has been at the head of the de-
partmbent for seven years, and the cleo
ton of Frank Hardy, of the regatta COM
mittee of the Larchmont Yacht Club, as
his successor.
Chief Bronson resigned after his attention
was called to the fact that he could not
continue to serve and at the same time
hold the office of village trustee, TO which
he was elected only last month. The name
of Mr.. Hardy was quickly put through the
board, Chief Bronson seconding his nomi-
nation and all the trustees voting to make
the election unanimous.
Since the election of Mr.. Hardy, who
was president of the truck company AS
sistant Chief George S. Towle has resigned.
and his friends are greatly agitated over
what they consider as a snub to him. They
contend that although he was next in line
for the office of chief, his claims were
ignored.
Mr.. Towle is one of the officers of the
Seventh Regiment and ran last fall on the
Democratic ticket for the Assembly. He
says that he does not care who is chief.
but that the proper thing for the board of
trustees to have done when Mr. Bronson
resigned to have referred the ques-
ton of his successor back 20 the companies
and permitted them to vote on il. BY fail
ing to do this, Mr.. Towle and his friends
assert, the village fathers committed
a grave breach of etiquette.
Mr.. Bronson explained the action of the
board of trustees by saying that ii al
established custom TO have each company
represented among the officers either as
chief or assistant chief.
mo doubt" said he, Mr.. Towles is war.
ranted in feeling that he was overlooked
but | don't think that the feeling of dis.
satisfaction extends very far.
1--WE firemen all know Frank Hardy and
admire him. He is an experienced fire
fighter. just as much at home as he is al
yacht race. and bully good fellow / be-
leve that his appointment will give great
satisfaction to the firemen and to the peo-
pie of Larchmont generally"

HANLAN TO ENTER RACE
FOR A CONTROL[ERSH|P
Famous Canadian Oarsman Has a
Platform and Is Anxious to
Put 1t to Proof.
HAS BEEN AN ALDERMAN

TORONTO, Ont, April 17.-Ned Hanlan.
Canada's great Carsman, has announced
through the local press that he is a candi-
date for the controlership made vacant
by the resignation of +. III. Richardson.
He is eligible, for he served two terms as
alderman, and would have served a third
had he not been defeated. He has passed
his word that he is in the fight, and vows
by the fact that he never sold a boat race,
though once offered $4,000 TO do so, that
he will stay in till the finish.
Ned pledges his word that if elected he
will advocate scent fares, return trip. to
the island. He puts the situation thus:
The city owns the annual license of the
ferry company and should not grant it to
the company unless the company guaran-
tees scent fare. That will be the main
plank of his platform. In general he be-
lieves the city should own the street-rail-
way franchise and the gas works and oper-
ate them. He has large ideas regarding
the Development of the island including
the building of a Henley course from one
end to the other, joining the city to the
island away around to Fisherman's Point
could be achieved by constructing draw
bridges at the necessary points.
He points TO the fact that he got the
bicycle path for the island. the electric
was defeated. He declares he is a prac-
teal man and could serve the citizens well
and wisely.
The election for the position of con-
troller. vacated by the resignation of Fred
erck III. Richardson, will be held on Satur-
day. April 80. with nominations on Friday

FORMER RELIGION NOW A
GHOST Story SAYSPAST0R
Sermon on Mutual Love Teens
with Thoughts of Optimism
and with Modern Views.


THAT We may love one another was the
text of the Rev. E. E. Newberts sermon
on THE Worlds Moral Advance" at All
Souls Church yesterday morning.
Mr. Newbert spoke, in part. as follows:
so much has been said about the death
OF Jesus that We give scant heed TO HIS
life To-day we speak His name, but do
moral life advancing and are we gaining
along the line of the humanities?
Notwithstanding alarms. there is abroad
a wholesome and saving optimism.
Has man gained in things and lost in
souiE Or has he tumbled headlong from
moral height once occupied? No, We
are sure there have been no moral heights
TO tumble from. The heights are ahead
for us to climb. The age we live in is the
biggest and best in all history. Afraid OF
modern tendencies men may bark back
TO the past, but the past had more soul
than the present. The age that made the
Bible was far below the age that gives us
the daily newspaper. Modern life has
new setting. Things once thought pro-
fame are sacred. What was once religion
now passes for ghost story. Practical
thought hunts life near to the earth. The
saint no longer tries for heaven in "a bal
loon. Or if he does he fails to get near
as the child picking violets in the grass
or the man who holds the pillow the me-
chanic who drives the riVets into the iron
sides of a ship
Hunting evidence for the worlds moral
advance, L study economics as it relates

not that He at any time became the divine

nally was such. 1 believe that He who was
the Son of Mary was never the Son of Jo-
heavenly origin. He saw from above and
not from among or of men. He came down.
He was the sent, indeed

what the words means. Words are for the

tional natures.

between prominent Hungarian financiers
and the neutrality-suspicious. line, looking

Dallas. Tex. May 24.-De5ate upon
the most momeatous problem. which
the Cumberland Presbyterian church
has faced in years. that of the union
of that organization with the Presby-

general assembly here. There is no

bate will end, nor what will be the re-
suit OF the vote, though it is thought
the commissioners may express them
selves officially this afternoon. Many
members of the assembly have spoken
on the question, touching mainly upon
the three generally mooted points in
the confession of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of Ameri-
Ca: Fatalism, or the doctrine OF pre-
destination, the ace question, and the
educational qualifications of ministers.
The contest, specifically, is upon the
adoption or rejection of a resolution
recommending the report of the com
mittee on fraternity and union to the
presbyteries for adoption, which he
port declares for tie union OF the
churches.
