RECTOR THREATENS LAWSUIT
Warns Diocesan Convention Not
to Interchange Funds.

Garden CITY. L. I. MAY II (SpeciaD.-The
Rev. Edward N. McGuffv. rector Of New
ton Episcopal Church, created excitement
in the Diocesan Convention here this morn
ing when he threatened 70 bring an action
against a committee of which Supreme
Court Justice Soudder was member. II
that committee used the funds created for
one purpose toward another. and he added
Il will carry the case TO the highest courts
before I will submit To one fund being used
for any other purpose than that for which
It was originally intended"
The trouble was over a notion that funds
from the aged and intrm clersymen be
used in place Of the fund for the widows
and orphans Of deceased clergymen Mr..
McGuffv held that the fund was created
for that one purpose alone. and that no
member Of the Church had a right 70
touch it for any other purpose than that
for which IL was intended. The fund az
present is more than 100000 and brings in
a revenue Of $500 a year The motion was
finally passed Mr. McGuffy was support
ed by Justice Augustus Van Wyck and
Colonel William S Coggswell.
The Rev. Henry c. Swentzel and Alex
ander +. Orr were elected for four years
on the standing committee The struggle
was over the member for three years and
the Rev. John G.. Baccus. of the Church OF
the Incarnation. Brooklyn, was elected.
Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner announced
that all the records Of the Episcopal
Church in America were being printed az
q cost of $4,000 and would soon be ready
for distribution II had been found he said
that the records were being kept in a
place where a fire might cause their loss
at any time"
