There ID q striking anttthes1s Ia the
coming Of Or. Jowstt to one New York
pulpit ana the going OF DR.. Aked from
another. Both are UnElishnen And
both changed their work ero4n success-
ful fields in the Old World.
The episcopal Recorder observes
that DIR. Jowett belonged IN
peculiar measure to the whole
Of England" and thta he may. IN
a special sense, "be thought OF a. the
gift Of the religious life of England to
this country" DR.. Aked came here four
years ago and settled with the congre-
getion OF the Fifth Avenue Baptists.
He had high hopes Of enlarged oppor-
tun;ties and magnifed usefulness. But
these have suffered disappointment
and now he withdraws. His hopes and
his regrets were told to a representa-
tive Of the Central News Of London.
and published also in the New York
Sun. This IL his case:
1.-The great project we had in hand
has completely broken down. We had
in mind something that would have
given us one Of the biggest churches
in American Prostentatism. perhaps in
the professionalism OF the world. It was
not until last Saturday that we real
lied the imposstbility Of this, and now
we are just where we were. and that
IL nowhere, and 50 far as can soc
there is no outlet and fear very little
hope.
ut has been arranged to build q new
church on the present site, but that was
against my judgment. For more than
a year argued persistently against It,
and there seemed degree OF intellect
ual imrnodesty in insisting on my own
view in opposition to the judgment Of
some of the most successful business
men in the whole world. In the end I
yielded my judgment to theirs, or ratfl-
act on their judgment; my own re-
manned. That has been one Of the
weaknesses Of my ministry here;
know, and I had to yield to their ex-
perience and knowledge"
DR.. Aked also confesses that his as
simila ton to American life has been
imperfect:
heart is in English movements; Eng
papers appeal more to me than do
American movements and American re-
ligious papers. English movements
understand. American movements I do
not understand. In England felt
strong enough to dogmatize about this
or that; might be wrong. probably
often was. but at the same time I had
convictions. and even II I was wrong
I could give reasons for the faith that
was IN me and go ahead bravely and
hopefully. Here I should hesitate 20
say I know what America should do
in these or those circumstances. as I
could say and used to say what Eng
land ought to do"

CRANKS in The
BEATTIE CASE
One Man Offers to Go to the
Electric Chair for
$4,000
UNKNOWN DECLARES THAT
HE HIMSELF IS GUILTY
By The United Press.


RICHMOND, Va. July 29.--An un-
precedented groups OF cranks has de-
veloped throughout the country from
the Beattie murder case, according TO
letters which are pouring into Rich
mond Jail addressed to Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr., the husband charged with
murder of his wife; Beulah Binford,
the other woman. and Paul Beattie,
cousin of the accused man.
OF the lot, the most unique was to-
day made public by Attorney Harry
Smith. 1t was from farmer who offer
ed to go to the electric chair for the
crime, in consideration of $4,000 The
writer said he was a victim of tuber-
culosis and his family needed the So
600 more than he did.
Another misslve. which came TO the
chief of police. was from an unknown
man who declared himself guilty OF
the crime, and wrote a minute account
Of how it was committed. He asserted
that when the time came. he would ap-
pear at the trial and prove his own
guilt. The police are inclined to re-
gard the letter as one of the crank
variety, but detectives are today
searching for the writer.

His hands hardened by cracking

George Brown, the philosophical
anarchist" of Arden, walked from the
County Workhouse at Greenbank this
morning shortly after s o'clock, after
spending three days and three nights
there I'm default Of paying a fine of 81
and costs imposed by Magistrate Rob
ertson for disorderly conduct at the
Economic Club in the colony at Har-
vey.
He left the prison after thanking
Warden Crawford and the guards for
the treatment accorded him, and he
spoke highly of the institution, say
ing it was modern in every respect.
Brown. who contends that he served
the Imprisonment for a principle, that
of free speech, went to his home,
which is in the bushes at Arden,
where a reception was given him by
his family and friends.
In speaking of his Imprisonment,
Brown stated that the prison was the
most modern he had heard of, and he
was impressed by the various customs
there. One of these was the prohib-
iting of talking cmong the men in
their cells and at the table, which he
thinks is right. He claimed that none
of the men spoke of ideas and the
usual gossip would be harmful While
there Brown broke one of the rules
that of not eating his extra bread af.
ter he had requested it. but he said
that the large slices were too much
FOR him. The food was wholesome
and plenty Of it is offered to the men
