saw her-brown hair. blue eyes, rosy cheeks.
You don't know what Lizzie mean? Why,
Lizzie, my sweetheart. She used 70 live In

This was her home. 1t was a fine house.
SWell, it's been a restaurant for twelve
years, and don't know what ii was before
that. never heard OF your Lizzie said

Lizzie on brig for the Far Fast just forty

the CHURCH AND LABOR.

EplscOpallans Commend Secretary Tafrs
speech on Labor Unions.
The Church Association for the Advance
ment OF the Interests Of Labor held its
annual convention yesterday at Synod
Hall, 1l2th street and Amsterdam avenue,
and among other things indorsed unani-
mously a report in which Secretary Of War
Taft was commended for giving it as his
opinion in a speech at a public meeting
that under the present conditions It would
not be wise for employers TO ignore the
labor unions.
The Church Association for the Advance
ment OF the Interests Of Labor is made
I'D Of members Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, and It's officers are Bishop Potter,
president, the Rev. Thomas Henry Sill,
vice-president; Miss Harriette A. Keyser,
secretary; Miss Margaret lAwranoe, assist
ant secretary, and II. B. Livingston, treas
urer. In the part Of her report in which
she referred 10 Mr.. Taft Miss Keyser said
It was once unfashionabe to recognize
organized labor, but we kept up an agitation
I'm its favor until II became fashionable. Sec
retary OF War Taft In q recent address wisely
declared that under existing conditions the
blndest course an employer Of labor can
pursue Is TO decline to recognize labor or
Ranlzations a. the controlling influence In the
labor market and to insist on dealing only
with his particular employees" IL has been
repeatedly shown that harmony and freedom
from labor troubles have resulted from agree
ments entered into between the employers and
the unions.
Miss Lily +. Foster, secretary Of the child
labor committee sent her report, in which
she recommended agitation for the pro-
vision OF a special room in the court build
ings for child prisoners. II was announced
by the Rev. Canon Peters that at the next
diocesan convention the diocese would be
divided into labor districts, each district
TO send frateruAl delegate TO the sue
ceeding conventions.
Resolutions were carried favoring an
amendment 20 the Sherman antitrust
law by which the labor unions will be
eliminated from its provisions relating 10
combinations In restraint Of trade. The
Central Federated Union was represented
at the convention by several delegates.

INTERCHURCH LAWSUIT.
case OF st. stephens Against Transngura-
tlOn Heard In Divorce Court Room,

tlOn Heard In Divorce Court Room.
In the same court room with bunch OF
divorce lawyers and their clients gathered
yesterday several clergymen and their
legal representatives. The court room was
Part Ill. special term, Of the Supreme
Court, with Justice OGorman presiding.
The clergymen were there 10 hear and
testify in an action between st. Stephens
Protestant Episcopal Church and the Church
Of the TRANSPORTATION, known as the Little
Church Around the Corner The suit is
brought by the trustees Of st. Stephens
TO have remedied or altered deed by which
the church came into possession Of its
present site. West Sixty-ninth street near
Broadway This was bought from the other
church for SO. .OOO, OF which $50, 900 was paid
in cash and $4,000 was left on mortgage.
At the same time. to suit the late DR.. Hough-
toms views. a clause was inserted in the
deed restricting forever the use OF the site
for church purposes. II Is this clause which
has caused trouble.
The interest on the mortgage was paid
for while, but presently II was not paid
and foreclosure proceedings we're begun
by the TRANSPORTATION trustees. To this
st. Stephen replied with a suit to have the
Objectionable clause stricken out Of the
deed. and then il developed that an offer
had been made TO strike out the restrictive
clause II st. Stephens would pay $1,000.
IL is the contention Of the 81. Stephens
lawyers that as the TRANSPORTATION church
owned no other property near the Sixty
ninth street site there was no authority for
such a restrictive clause,
Counsel for the TRANSPORTATION trustees
hold that the clause il binding They say
that il is the intention Of the st. Stephens
trustees TO sell or lease part OF the site for
the erection Of a modern apartment house
Had Dr. Houghton or the other trustees
believed such thing possible the Trans
fguration lawyers say, the sale would never
have taken place, or at least not at any
such price as $500 which, they say, was
made especially low because Of the restric-
tive clause.
Counsel for st. Stephens will not say
what they want 10 do with the site il the
Objectionable clause il removed, but they
admit that IL they could only get rid Of Il
they could easily raise enough money 10
wipe out the $4,000 mortgage and leave a
handsome surplus.
Yesterdays proceedings were devoted
simply 10 arguments by counsel. Blandy,
Mooney 4 Shipman appeared for the Trans
iiguration and A. 0, Townsend for st.
Stephens.

JOHN 4. oHANLER sAFE' HERE
In MArshal's Custody and Prosecute suit
Against Trustee without Interference.

John Armstrong Chanler, the former
husband Of Amelle Riyes and brother Of
| lieut. Gov. Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler,
can now return TO New York Professionally
! 10 prosecute his suit Ia the Federal courts
against Thomas T. Sherman without being
seized and reoommitted as insane TO Bloom
ingdale Asylum
This much was assured yesterday by
, the United States irouit Court Of Appeals
In an opinion written by Judge Noyes
The matter came before the circuit Court
from Judge Houghs refusal 10 grant an
auxiliary order giving the protection asked
for. The higher court holds that Chanler
Ia entitled TO the protection he seek pro-
' ided the pleadings In his case ara not
changed and he agrees to place himself In
the custody Of United States Marshal
Henkel. Judge NOyes says.
II Ia apparent from the record that. upon
the issues IA they stand, the attendance OF
the petitioner at the trial Is necessary. His
case cannot be presented without him, And
II Is also most probable that II the petitioner
return to New York without protection, he
will be apprehended and retaWen TO the asy-
lum as an escaped patient. without relief
he is in this prediCament: he must abandon
his action for the recovery Of $3.50 900 In order
to retain his freedom or must abandon his
liberty to try the case,
The Constitution Of the United States
vests in It's judicial department jurisdiction
over controversy between citizens Of diff
ferent States The petitioner. as a citizen
Of the State Of virginia, in bringing his suit
In the Circuit Court Of the United States, was
availing himself Of a right founded upon
this constitutional provision. And he came
into that court with a decree Of the state
court Of which he was a citizen declaring his
sanity We cannot disregard that decree.
In considering II we do not ignore the orders
Of the New York courts Insanity is not
necessarily permanent For the purpose Of
this petition-lsying aside questions Of juris-
diction we may properly consider the petit
toner insane when 40 declared In New York.
but that he had recovered his sanity when he
was declared sane In Virginia.
Judge Noyes says there il no reason
whatever TO apprehend that any danger
would result from Chanler's sojourn here
In 1897 the Supreme Court Of New York
adjudged Chanler insane and committed
him to Bloomingdale. After three years
there Chsner escaped and went to Nir-
ginia While he was still confined in Bloom
ingdale and two years after his commit
ment the State court appointed Thomas I:
sherman a committee OF his person and

.sHIPWRECK OFF LIBERIA
Thrilling Account of the Sailors Who
Watched Their Vessel Looted
by Piratieal Negroes.

Hamburg, Feb. "A thrilling ac-
count of the shipwreck of the Woer-
mann liner Ascam WOermann, which
recently went on the rocks off Grand
Bassa, Liberia, and became a total
wreck. is related by the sailors of the
steamer who have arrived here.
The night the steamer struck was a
dark one and she seemed to be going
to pieces rapidly. The crew took to
the boats, and Immediately thousands
of piratical negroes in canoes sur
rounded the steamer! swarmed aboard
and plundered her. The seamen feared
to land on the hostile coast in the dark
ness and were compelled to stay i'm the
small boats throughout the night
When morning came the crew landed
and camped in the brush for several
days, fearing always of an attack.
Meanwhile they watched the negroes
going to the ship and returning from
her laden with booty. Finally the yes
sci disappeared. After this the ne
groes departed. and the crew, taking
to their boats again, rowed for seven
teen hours to the northwestward and
were picked up, completely exhausted,
by passing steamer off Monrovia.
