BISHOP WON'T MARRY COREY
Garden City Cathedral Is Closed to
 Steel Trust Head and Miss Gilman.


 Steel Trust Head and Miss Gilman.
 Hampstead, N. Y, May 8. - Bishop Burgess of Long Island put his veto upon the plan to have the marriage cer emony of William Ellis Corey and Mabelle Gilman performed at the Protestant Episcopal cathedral at Gar den City. In regard to the statement made by Mrs. Gilman at the Hotel Gotham that she expected her daughter would be married at Garden City ca thedral next Monday, the bishop said: ',The wedding of such couple would never occur in the cathedral at Garden City, and no clergyman in the Episco- pal diocese would perform such a cere- mony, where either of the parties had been divorced. 1 doubt very much whether any self respecting minister could be found on Long Island to mar ry such couple"
 Corey's father and mother will attend the wedding. The latter, it is alleged, was given United States Steel corpora tion bonds worth $250,OOO by Corey a short time ago.

NO HOPE Of A.
VICTORY FOR
THE CHURCH.

Paris, Jan. i2.-Tne encyclical issued
yesterday by the pope seemingly puts an
end TO the hopes of the moderates OF all
shades Of opirion that the church would
eventually accommodate itesh 10 the new
conditions In France, Although many OF
the French bishops unquestionably would
prefer an intermediate solution OF the
difficulties confronted as they now are
by the choice between obedience or
schism, II is foregone conclusion that
at the meeting OF the eptscopacy here
Jan. is. they will simply register the
pope's decision.
The consequences are likely to be de-
plorable from every point OF view. The
majority OF the clergy and Catholics gen
orally recognize that there is practically
no chance OF the church emerging victori-
Gus from the struggle. On the contrary
the lot or the church Will be only harder
IL It is the vatican's purpose TO drive

matter how desirable negotiations might

the Catholics to seek redress at the polls.
the first attempt at organization for that
purpose will be met by measure author
izing the government to regard all priests
as being subjects of a foreign power. This
step. however as Premier Clemenceau
has announced. will only be taken as a
last resort Even NJ Jaures. the Socialist

The pasteurization OF milk Is the
means OF making bad milk salable, said
Inspector OF MIX Walter o. Scott. this
afternoon In discussing an editorial in a
local paper encouraging the pasteuriza-
ton OF milk.
ITO encourage the pasteurization OF
milk is TO encourage farmers 10 sell bad
milk TO the public" continued MIR. Scott.
If bad milk Is not pasteurized the public
Will refuse TO buy II because IL smells and
tastes bad but, on the other hand II II
is Pasteurized the public will be deceived.
for there Is no way OF knowing that II is
bad, as Il Will taste and smell about the
same as good milk.
The best chemists and physicians have
always discouraged the Pasteurlzation OF
milk as Il is a cause OF much sickness,
and makes the death rate OF children
higher
What We should have is cleanliness.
Cows are not subject TO diphtheria and
scarlet fever or other similar maladies,
wh!oh are diseases OF the human race.
Therefore milk when IL comes from the
COW cannot contain these diseases. II

ings must be TO blame. lent that logi-
