SNEAD STILL IGNORES
RESIGNED VESTRYMEN.
Legality of Election of Their Successors
Is Questioned by
Them.

BEVERLY. Dec. 9.-The Rev. William T.
Snead, pastor of st. Stephens Protestant
Episcopal Church. failed to give his ex-
pected reading of the designations of the
nine vestrymen yesterday. The names of
the new vestrymen, Messrs. Blair, Bonfield,
Beatty, Blow and Zimmerman, elected FRI
day night, were given out, and notice given
that the vestry would meet to conduct
business for the good of the church at the
| parish house Thursday, December u.
The old vestrymen are indignant at the
way the pastor persists in treating theii
designations, by absolutely refusing 10 read
! them to the congregation, to whom they
were addressed, through him.
Although the pastor and his remaining
vestrymen, Messrs. Kirk and Blow, say
that Fridays meeting was sanctioned by
their counsel, all the members of the
former vestry are ~proclaiming against such
a course. They say 1t Is contrary to the
church canons, which require acceptance
OF the designations by the congregation be-
fore new officials can be elected, and a
ten days notice to the members.
A majority Of those newly elected, 1t Is
asserted, have no legal right to fill the
Offices. The resigned vestrymen assert that
the course taken will not be sanctioned by
the bishop and his standing committee.

FALSE "STILL TIPS" BANE
OF REVENUE OFFICERS.
Put Out by Reports Of Distilleries Which
Do Not Exist-Put to Ex-
pense Also.

Inspectors attached TO the local internal
revenue office are put out these days be-
cause Of the unnecessary trips and ex-
penses they are put to by false tipsters
who insist on sending in reports OF stills
which they claim have been established in
out of the way places.
The other day the officers were sur
prised on being Informed that there was a
still in the rear of the mountains near
Morristown. To reach the point indicated
by the informant would necessitate two
DAYS of travel and much expense.
h government does not pay the ex-
penses OF these "stilr' sleuths now as it
formerly did, and before the officers
started their sleuthlng they decided to
write to the man who sent In the informa-
ton, agreeing to pay him per day and
all expenses II he would meet with them
at Morristown and show the way to the
alleged still.
That is the last that has been heard Of
the suspected still, and the officers de-
clare that this was another wild goose
chasing Tip that have annoyed them
in the past and caused them the outlay
Of dollars that they canot recover simply
because there was nothing doing.'
