Jerome Says Only Two Men Can Be Held
of Mutual Officials Because
Laws Are Weak.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-District At
torney Jerome has finished his investiga-
ton Of the Mutual Life Insurance com
pany and submitted the report to Gov.
Higgins. Only two former officers of the
Mutual have been indicted-Dr. Walter
Il. Gillette nd Robert \. Granniss, who
are vice preSilcnts-and Mr.. jerome an
nOunces there is no provision in the
mentS against Richard A. McCurdy or
any other officials save the two men
toned.
MIR Jerome lays the blame for many
of the abuses in the management of the
Mutual to the superintendent of inSur-
ance. who. he says. had the power to
discover wrongdOing. and whose duty it
was to call upon the Legislature to
enact laws which would remedy the
evils. Certain transactions which to the
lay mind would Indicate criminality are

dictate moral obliQuity. there IS no meth

OF Richard \. McCurdy Mr.. Jerome
says he believes he committed perjury
when he testified that he knew nothing

Raymond & Co., Of which McCurdy's
son-in-law. Louis A. Thebaud. was
member, hut there is no way. under the
The ''conhdtntial expenditures" of the
Mutual there is no doubt in Mr.. Je
romc's mind that the money was used

of proving it.
Mr. Jerome tells the governor he now
is taking up the investigation of the

GUST DR.. CRAPSEY
FROM THE PULPIT.
Ecclesiastical Court of Review Sustains
First Verdict in the Heresy
Case

BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. 19.-Rev. Or.
Algernon S. Crapsey of st. Andrews
Episcopal church, Rochester, is con-
demned to suspension from the church as
a result of the decision of the ecclesiasti
cal court of review, which is made public
today.
The court of reviews sustains the deci-
sion of the lower court, which was that
DIR. Crapsey should be suspended Tor
heretical teachings.
The announcement of the decision was
made as follows: THE court of review
has affirmed unanimously the decision of
the lower court in the case of Rev. AL
gernon S. Crapsey, ID. ID.
Says He Preached His Belief.
DR.. Crapsey in reply to these charges
contended that he had only preached ac-
cording to what he believed to be true.
He contested the proceedings against
him vigorously. Among the counsel he
employed was Edward NJ. Shepard Of
New York, who contended that Or.
Crapsey had acted within his rights
throughout and had shown himself to be
straightforward and sincere in all his
preaching.
The charges were first heard by an &c
clesiastical court at Batavia, which sus-
tanned the charges. An appeal was I'M
mediately taken to the board of review
and the noted counsel who appeared IN
the Batavia trial reargued the entire
case at length. The final session of the
board of review was held last week.
Case Apparently Ended.
The decision. which was announced
tc-lay. apparently brings the Crapsey
case to an end. Under it DIR. Crapsey
will be suspended from exercising the
functions of minister of the Protestant
Episcopal church until such time as his
teachings conform to the doctrines of
the apostles and Nicene creeds. There
can be no further appeal, as the board
of review which heard the appeal from
the original decision, is the highest court
in the church.

What took place in that cabin will

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. IL
Secretary Shaw today authorized a
statement saying that he has remained
in the cabinet largely in the hope of Sc
curing some legislation on currency, but
will not recommend any details. That is
the province of Congress. The secretary
will be glad if Congress will adopt every
detail of the plan recommended by the
bankers and b1siness men. He thinks
Congress will have no difficulty in work
ing out a plan thereby, satisfactory to
all although in detail not meeting all the
wishes of everybody. That such legis-
latiOn is imperative he thinks recent
treasury experiences make apparent. In
his report he will strongly urge that
