Partial Verdict in Famous
Episcopal Heresy
Trial.
HAS 80 DAYS OF GRACE
Jurors Express Hope He May
Convince Authorities
He Is Right.

Rochester, May 15.- A verdict in
the heresy trial of Rev. Algernon Crap
sey was today delivered to the accused
minister. Four jurors state in their
opinion sentence should be passed as
follows:
That the respondent should be sus-
pended from exercising the functions
of the church until such time as he
shall satisfy the ecclesiastical authori-
ties of the diocese that his belief and
teaching conform TO the doctrines OF
the apostles creed and Nicene creed,
as this church hath received the same.
Hope for His Success.
They. however express the earnest
hope and desire the respondent may
see his way clearly during the 80 days
that under the canons of the church
must intervene before sentence can be
pronounced, to fully satisfy the ecclesi-
astical authorities of such conformity
on his part.
Grew Out of Writings.
The charges against Crapsey grew
ont of series of sermons delivered by
him while he was rector of st. An
drew's church at Rochester and which
he subsequently published in book
form under the title Religion and Pol
itics.'' In brief the charges declare,
Crapsey in these writings denies the
doctrines of the divinity of Christ, his
virgin birth, his resurrection and the
doctrine of the Trinity, as contained
in the apostles, and Nicene creeds and
the book of common prayer OF the Pro-
testant Episcopal church of the United
States.
Files Minority Report.
DIR. Francis S. Dunham, filed a min
ority report in which he says, 81 find
from Crapsey's own statements of his
evidence submitted for his defense that
his error consists rather in presuming
to define what God has not been pleas
ed to reveal and to interpret those doc
trines in a manner not generally be-
lieved by the church rather than in a
denial and rejection of their truth anG

PUT ON AUDITORS
Burlington Adopts Practice of
Other Railway Systems
for Checking.
IN CHARGE WITHOUT NOTICE
Collects Fares, But Conductor Remains
in Charge of Train-Reduced
Rates are Given.

Effective this week, the Burlington
on all divisions set in operation the sys-
tenn of train auditing, and a force of
train auditors has been added to the
service. Their duties are to board a
train, giving the conductor notice that
he will assume charge of the collection
of tickets and transportation. The con-
ductor's responsibility for the collec-
tion of fares ends until the auditor
leaves the train, though he is still re-
sponsible for the operation of the train.
The auditor collects, cancels and
checks all tickets, cash fares and trans
portation, and makes his report to the
general auditor. He gives the conduc-
tor certificate, showing that he had
charge of the train between certain
points, and this the conductor sends to
the ticket auditor, instead of forward
ing the usual report.
Check Trains business.
This system of train auditing is in
use on number of the roads, and is
coming into more general use. 1t is
not intended SO much as a check on the
conductors as a check on the train's s
business. The conductor has no notice
of the auditors intention to check the
train until that official boards the
train.
Notice has been received by agents
of the various roads entering Rock Is
land that special round trip rate Of a
fare and third will be made to Rock
Island from points within radius of
so miles, for the appearance Of "Tal-
bots Fighting the Flames in Rock
Island June and 5. The tickets will
be sold June and 3, and are good for
return June 6.

FISH AND
CURRENTS
Honolulu Should Have
Biological Sta
ton.

Big fish eat little fish is as liter
as it is figuratively true of the econo-
my of the land" said Professor Ritter
last night in the course of his lecture
before the members of the Research
Oahu College, to hear the Californian
biologist. The quotation epitomizes
the address, which dealt largely with
the carnivorous habits of the denizens
Of the deep.
The vegetable matter from which all
animals derive their sustenance orig
inally, is transmitted to the higher
forms through the minute organisms
which feed on the mud of the ocean
depths and the microscopic vegetation
on the ocean surface. This mud is
formed principally of seaweed, ground
up and carried out from the Coasts.
The fact that in the greatest depths
of the ocean there has been no life
found may be accounted for from the
absence of this sea mud on the bot
tom. The exploration of the depths
in the neighborhood of Guam viii be
one of the important things in the
future for marine biologists. and the
speaker hoped that there might be a
marine biological station here to I'M
dertake the work. Honolulu is one
of the best places of the Pacific for
such a station. There We're many
things to be studied, as example the
ocean currents. No one knew any
thing of the Pacific currents. although
the supposed current from California
and the mythical Japanese current
We're often spoken of Familiarity. Where
did these currents start and where did
they go to? These are some of the
things p Honolulu station could help

interested in the welfare of this Terri
tory, that we and our Offspring are bet
ter equipped to meet the competition of

than We could that of Orientals. Our
grievance is with the Territorial gov
eminent in that it has entirely ignored
the rights of citizens of the Territory

1t is with deep regret that we are
called on to chronicle the death of Mrs.
Frances E. Hebron.
This estimable lady, widow of the
late Capt. T. H. Hebron, passed away
at p. m. yesterday after quite q
long illness which she bore most I'M
complainingly She was eighty-one
years, two months and twenty days
old and had lived on the islands since
1852.
Her husband was one of the pioneers
in the sugar industry. having estab-
lished a plantation at Grove Ranch,
Makawao, Maui, and was the first, as
an individual, to engage in inter-is-
land steam navigation, having built
the "Kilauea-hou." He had built the
schooner Kamoi in New London, Conn,
and brought her round the Horn and
at one time owned also the Moiwahine
and Moi Keiki all of which piled be-
tween Honolulu and Maui. In his bust
ness as planter and ship owner he
amaSSed a fortune.
Mrs. Hebron was a member of the
Society of the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution, her grandfather hav-
ing taken active part in both the Colo
NAL and Revolutionary Wars.
She was an active member of every
charitable association on the islands
and an earnest, lifelong Christian.
On the plantation, in Makawao, she
was interested in the welfare of the
of all the natives in her
husbands employ and her hand was
always ready to assist any in distress
without regard to their nationality or
social rank
In the olden time the planters were
to entertain all visitors to
the islands, as there were no hotels,
