FROM PRIESTHOOD
Rev. Gustavus Tuckerman, Formerly Of
New York and ST. LOUIS, Sewers
Connection with Episs
copal Church
by Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
BOSTON, April 5-It was learned to-
night that Rev. Gustavus Tuckerman
of this city, formerly of New York and
st. Louis, had been formally deposed
from the priesthood of the Episcopal
church by Rt. Rev. DIR. David H. Greer,
bishop coadjutor of New York, with
which diocese Rev. Mr. Tuckerman has
been economically connected.
Mr.. Tuckermans relations with the
Episcopal church were severed because
he could no longer accept the teaching
of the communion regarding the doe
trine of the holy trinity and the virgin
birth, and he is now a minister of the
Unitarian denomination. Sentence of
deposition was pronounced last Tues
day in New York by Bishop Greer.
In tomorrow isue of the Living
Church. the organ of the Catholic party
OF the Episcopal church in the United
States, an article will appear CRITICS.
ing the apparent failure of the ecclesi-
astical authorities in New York and
Boston to suspend Rev. Mr.. Tuckerman
from the Episcopal body, as some time
ago he left his place as rector of the
Church of the Holy Faith, New York,
and took up work at the Theodore
Parker memorial Unitarian church III
Boston.
The article states that Rev. Mr..
Tuckerman is still carried on the clergy
lists of the Episcopal church, and prac-
tically demands his suspension.
An investigation here tonight dis
closed the fact that last year the min
lister decided to abandon his orders in
the church and that six months ago he
notified Bishop Greer. Bishop Greer
suspended Rev. Mr.. Tuckerman, but
having six months before he was COM
PEELED to take final action, did not de-
pose the clergyman until this week.

of Paul c. Paulsen, who was arrested
yesterday by the federal authorities for
insulting the American flag after he
had been expelled from the Cement
Workers union, rests with the special
board of inquiry which was appointed

Three weeks ago at a meeting of his

that the American flag was only fit for
dust and that he would trample it in
the dust. He also said that the only
flag he respected was the red flag.

BY Associated GGESbs
NEW YORK, April 5.-The trial of
Harry X. Thow will proceed on Mon
day morning when Dolphin M. Delmas,
leading counsel for the defense, Will
begin his summing up address to the
District Attorney Jerome decided late
today not to apply to the appellate di-
vision of the supreme court for a writ
OF prohibition or mandamus to halt the
trial. He reached this decision, It was
said. after a consultation with eminent
counsel Mr.. jerome may argue briefly
on Monday morning against the con-
firmation Of the report of the lunacy
commission which declared Thaw to
be sane but he is aware that Justice
Fttzgerald's disposition is to confirm
the report, which was unanimous.
The district attorney has many wit
nesses still under subpoena, but it is
said he has decided not to call them
and will press the trial forward to an
early verdict, or what is regarded as
more likely, a disagreement of the jury.
May Speak for Two Days
There was a stipulation in court some
weeks ago that each side was to have
one day for summing UP. 1t was
learned tonight, however, that Mr.. Del
mas may speak for two entire days. If
he wishes this it will undoubtedly be
granted to him.
District Attorney Jerome has stated
that his summing up would not re-
quire more than three or four hours.
He has expressed the desire to make
his argument without any sort of inter-
ruption for luncheon, recess or ad-
journment. He will ask the jury to
convict Thaw of murder in the first
degree.
No reference will be made or al
lowed on either side as to the appoint
1nent of the lunacy commission or the
nature of it's findings. Mr.. Jerome will
claim Thaw was sane enough to know
the nature and quality of his act when
he killed Stanford White and to know
that the act was wrong. This is the
definition in this state of legal sanity.
Regardless of his expressed personal
conviction in the matter, Mr.. Jerome
told the court yesterday that it will
be his duty to press the prosecution to
the utmost.
1t is thought that verdict may be
reached Thursday.

ed a remarkable story.
I'VE were married three years ago"
she testified, "the wedding being cele-
brated on my seventeenth birthday. My
husband was twelve years older than l
Soon after our marriage we came to
Los Angeles and my husband refused
to 60 to work, saying that he preferred
to rest up a while and see the sights
before he started in at his profession.
l asked him what he worked at and
he told me that his business was COM
pilng farm statistics. That seemed to
be very easy occupation, for he never
did any work and never got any money.
He seemed to live by graft, for that
was all he ever did, and he tried to
compel me on many occasions to lie to
my parents i'm order to get spending
money for him.
Goes to School
'After he had got all the money that
he could and had spent few months
in seeing the sights and in resting up
/ again suggested that he go to work
Then he told me that work was too
hard for him and that If he was able
to keep books he could get good job.
He said he wanted to go to school and
study some more.
my parents, in the hope of interest
ing him in work of some kind. sent him
to school in one of the Los Angeles
business colleges, where he studied
bookkeeping. During that time he
never got a thing that my parents did
not buy him. They bought him his
clothes and his shoes and his neckties
and hats and paid his tuition.
"When he finished a bookkeeping
course we went to a local wholesale
firm here and received an offer of
position for him. When he heard that
1t was $50 a month pay he laughed at
1t and said that that much salary would
not pay him for the time he took in
riding to and from work.
1--WE secured him another position at
$40 a month and he refused that one
because the work was too hard. At
twelve different places 1 secured work
for my husband, only to have him re-
fuse to go to work on some pretext or
another.
Very Hard to Suit
"By that time was almost desperate
and I asked my brotherin-law to Sc
cure my husband work. He offered Mr..
Clark a position as bookkeeper and my
husband refused to go to work, saying
he wanted an outside position. He then
offered my husband position as mo-
torman or conductor and my husband
laughed at him and said he would not
accept any such degrading position.
FINALLY my husband left me in 1905
and went east. Since that time I have
received just ten dollars from him,
while I have done everything in my
power to keep him supplied with money.
He always wrote that he was cold
and hungry and I did my best to keep
him from suffering back there in the
east until patience ceased to be virtue
and 1 quit"

usual case. took it under advisement.

Several Los Angeles business men

denis remodelel statue of the late Sen
ator White, which he had been given
the commission of modelling. When
the committee on the memorial viewed
the northern sculptor's work in the
early part of March, they were con-
siderably disappointed with the MODEL,
which they said was not at all salts
factory. At the time. they made sew
eral suggestions to Mr.. Tilden, which
he has followed out, and tonight they
will leave this city to examine the re-
casting of the old model. The face
and general contour of the head has
been changed. The committee con-
sists of NJ. p. Snyder, Sumner p. Hunt

Many local artists object strenuously
to seeing the contract for this piece
particularly since a local man, Frank
F. Stone, has modelled two statues,
either one of which seems more salts
factory than the northern mans work.
At the times the White memorial
committee called for general designs
for the base, pedestal, etc, Mr.. Stone
entered, in addition to the designs
called for, two clay statues of the dead
senator. Having taken the death mask
of Senator White and having studied
the mans life and characteristics, he
was able to turn out a model at once
artistic and true to life. Both models
We're made at the same time, but the

PLAN PROPOSED
Details of Organization Explained at
Chicago by Prominent Men.
Employers Pay Half
of Premiums
Rv Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
CHICAGO, April 5.-Protection of the
workingman, the laborer in the factory
and foundry, who risks life or limb In
his daily avocation. was the theme
which inspired speakers at the seventh
dinner of the Industrial club Of Chicago
last night.
The meeting was attended by 200 In
the gathering were prominent manu-
facturers, presidents of railroads and
other corporations that employ thous-
ands of men.
Governor Deneen, Prof Herman A. c.
Schumacher of the University of Bonn
and ". L. Bent, secretary of the Illinois
Coal Operators Mutual Employers Ii
ability Insurance company, were the
principal speakers.
The topic, Industrial Insurance"
was declared opportune because of the
increasing sentiment among employees
and employers for some rational and
just plan that will smooth over present
Unsatisfactory conditions. Governor
Deneen said that some of the recon-
mendations of the Illinois commission
had been embodied in a bill which,
among other things, provides for the
payment by the employer of 90 per cent
of the insurance premiums.
How Scheme Works
Prof Schumacher detailed statistics
relative to industrial insurance in Ger
many. He said the system was twenty
five years old and that Emperor Will
liam had issued the initial message
promulgating the theory that all work.
ingmen had a specific claim to pro-
lection and that it was the duay of the
state to undertake the establishment
of insurance.
He declared that the rate for accident
insurance under the government law
was one-third the rate of the private
companies. The expenses incident to
accident Insurance are borne entirely
by the employers, he said; insurance
against sickness is sustained two-thirds
by the employers and one-third by the
employees. and for disability and old
age the country carries the whole bur-
den.
The German professor declared that
the system in Germany had tended to
decrease accidents, render factories
safe and sanitary and prolong the lives
of the Germans.
E. L. Bent of the Coal Operators
Insurance concern explained why mu-
tual employees liability insurance isl

panies.
