suggested that he had in mind cases

of heresy. The Bishop said that man
in holy orders who rejects, for example,
the doctrine of The divinity of Christ, or
that of his miraculous birth, "has no
place in the ministry Of his church, "
and that al tits his office las he may
elsily believe that il is) 10 emancipate

THE REIGN of lawlessnes in Pitisburg,
"a. and vicinity continues, and hun
dreds of police, city detectives, county
detective and private agencies are ap-
parently still unable TO stop the dePreda-
lions which are almost hourly reported
TO them. With the past ~ hours the
list shows greater number than any
like period since the epidemic began.
The following arc some of the incidents
in the reign OF terror Two murders
committed while rOhberies were in prog
ress. Three burglaries with hauls OF
over s., 900 each. Several holdups in
principal streets in daylight Five
brutal assaults during hOl6-ups, several
Of the victims dying. Seven hold-ups at
points Of revolyers in residence districts.
Twenty five r0bberies or hold-ups
reported Tuesday night. Score OF
similar outbreaks occurred last night.
If seems that the world, in some re-
specis is retrograding aud that condi-
tions in large cities show no improve
menti upon those prevail ne Two or
three centuries ago. la the days OF
Dick Turpin, Jonathan Wild. Jack
Sheppard and other outlaws but few per-

streets of London after dark. In cur
day with brilliantly Illuminated streets
and modern police forces, murders, rob
berries and assaults are becoming so COM
mon that many, especially females, who
are compelled to appear on the streets
after dark. often move with fear and
trembling.
