PHILA DELPHIA, Jan. 9.-That the

investigate the charges brought against
Bishop Talbot is the conclusion at which
ecclesiastical lawyers of the Protestant
Episcopal Church have arrived.
Considerable difference of opinion as
to the limitation of power of this board
has arisen since it's appointment
There is no canon which governs its
power. and for that reason lawyers now
say that the decisions and actions of
this board are supreme
There is canon directing how this
board shall be constituted. but at this
point it stops. leaving tfa powers of the
board underlined.
Must Investigate.
One Of the stated provisions of the law
Is that this board must meet and make
a return in writing to the presiding
bishop, who in this case is Bishop Tu--
tie, of St. Louis.
1t is argued that the board cannot
meet and report to the presiding bishop.

Napoleon and Beet Sugar.

Although the great Napoleon was not
the sort of man whom 1t was ordinarily
safe to laugh at, he was ridlculed and
caricatured on account of his faith that
sugar could be made profitable from
beets. In 1911 the emperor promised
the French people that they should
have sugar from beets II he excluded
from France the commerce of England,
including the sugars Of the British
West Indies. This promise led to the
publication of q caricature In which
the emperor and his little son, the king
of Rome, wore represented. The en-
peror was "hown sitting In his boys
nursery, squeezing beet root into n
cup OF coffee. The baby prince sat
near him hard ut work sucking beet
root, while the nurse, standing close
