RABBI HTS AT CRAPSEY

Old Testament.

Rabbi E. n. Brown, of Temple BETHEL Brook
lyn, who had been friendly to the views of the
deposed Episcopalian rector, DR.. Algernon S.
Crapsey, on the birth Of Christ, denounced Dr.
Crapsey yesterday in the course of a sermon

which meets in Alhambra Hail. Seventh avenue
and 126th street Rabbi Brown based his de-
mandatory remarks DR.. Crapsey's first ad-

clared that Adam never existed and that the
Bible story Of creation was a myth Rabbi
Brown declared that DR.. Crapsey was inspired
by feeling Of personal revenge and was seek
ing to destroy the two fundamental principles
Of Christianity.
After reviewing the famous trial. which he
declared should be called "a boxing exhibition.

and adding that it had personal interest for

he would take up the gauntlet in defence Of the

Then Rabbi Brown went further in celebrating
what he called his theological discovery. He said
that Moses inclcated the doctrines of early Genesis

Egypt into citizenship in the promised land Moses
was informed by the divine authority, he said that
none of his followers fit to into the free
citizenship. Thereupon Moses changed his doc

taking up entirely new form of teaching.
He ignored Genesis just like DR.. Crapsey, said
the preacher, ''and his doctrines were not unlike
those of DR.. Crapsey He made in Deuteronomy a

Columbia Professor Has Flament Which

Professor H. C. Parker, of Columbia University.
working in connection with w. G. Clark has in
vented new incandescent light which he says
will revolutouize electric lighting. because it has
fortyfve times the efficiency of the ordinary lamp
with a carbon flament. Its particular feature is
the new flament which Professor Parker calls
helion. because its spectrum is similar to that Of
helium
Not only is the light much better, but It is said
that # will last nearly twice rs long as carbon

OF 200 hours. AT current densl lty that will give

new lamp burns with bright white light, which
increases In intensity with the current. When the
ordinary current is running the Illuminating in

the latest Interpretation Of the law make any
difference.
At the lower class "cafes" and hotels, where
they keep the Sunday sandwiches in the icebox
from week to week until they are worn out the
new law has caused some concern. The pro-
prietor of one of the Tenderioin cafes who
lost his key a good many years ago said last
night:
"There'll be sandwich in front of every Gus
toner. There always is in my place. Now how
is policemen to know whether my customer or

that because I don't charge for the sandwich
that the police get a case against me.
All the other saloonkeepers In the Ienderloln
and along Third avenue, who were seen de-
clared that they would see that sandwiches We're
put out, they say that the police generally
exercise rather unusual activity after q new
reading of the Excise law. but that they would
not charge for them. In fact. most Of them SAID
that to charge their customers. particularly their
regular ones would not only keep them away on
Sundays, but would offend them and cause them
