Of the diocese. the Right Rev. Dr. Olmsted
is in favor Of il, and that the Cornell au-
thorities welcome ii. although 1t is, Of

versity beyond such relation az is held by
the Young Mems Christian Association.
Cornell lacks dormitories for men, although
out of four thousand students it has only
about four hundred women, for which am
pie dorrnitory accommodations are provided.
In some degree the new Church House, IL
the plan goes through, will serve the pur-
pose Of dormitory, at least for few stu
dents, after the manner Of the fraternity
houses which take care of so large pro-
portion OF Cornell students. Efforts are

MAY BE NO COLE TRIAL
Jerome Makes Motion That In.
wolves Grand Jury Action.

William Vernon Cole, the Christian Sci
ence healer held for Special Sessions last
Saturday by Magistrate Freschi on charges
made by the County Medical Society that
he was practising medicine without a IL
Cense may never he placed on trial The
disposition Of a motion made before Judge
Foster in General Sessions yesterday by
William Travers Jerome, counsel for Cole,
will decide that question.
The motion seeks to have the case trans
ferred from Special Sessions to General Ses-
sions. Before this can be done, however.
even if Judge Foster signs a certificate di-
recting the transfer, it will be necessary
for the grand jury TO return an Indictment
In view Of the prevailing impression that
the intent OF the Legislature when enact
ing the statute which Cole is accused OF
violating was to permit Christian Scien-
lists TO practise their faith, ii is consid-
cred unlikely that he would be indicted
The question Of this intent of the Legis-
lature was raised yesterday by Mr.. Jerome
in arguing his motion He said the con
stitutional rights of the defendant and a
question OF statutory construction We're in
volyed, and that the facts should he deter
mined by a jury, owing TO the Importance
of the case.
In opposition Assistant District Attorney
Delehanty said that as questions of law the
issues raised could be decided better by
three learned justices of Special Sessions
than by a jury of laymen. a. c. Vandiver
counsel for the County Medical Society
the complainant, said that Justice Blanch-
ard. of the Supreme Court, had denied
similar motion when Mr.. Jerome was Dis
trct Attorney Judge Foster called FOL
briefs and reserved his decision.

PRESBYTERY TAKES CHURCH
Court Upholds Action as to Old west,
minister Congregation.

The AnpeIlate Division Of the supreme
Court upheld the right OF the New YORK
Presbytery yesterday to eject the "ese-
minister Presbyterian Church from Hs
church. at No 20S 10 "a West I'd street.
and organize new congregation 10 occupy
the nremises. In March, 1908, the west
minister Church was dissolved by the Pres
bvterv. which took charge Of the property
and later organized q new congregation
known as the West Twenty-third street
Presbyterian Church, giving 1t the use o.
the building formerly occupied by the west
minister congregation.
The permanent judicial commission OF the
PRESBYTERIAN Church upheld the action OF
the Presbytery, and the General Assembly,
also gave such Judgment. Justice Loush-
lin. in writing the opinion OF the Appellate
Division, said: Since all The members OIL
the congregation of the dissolved church
ceased to be members of the chureh upon
its dissolution, it follows. | think tnat 'he
plaintiff (the Presbytery) as corporation
thereby stood vested with the legal title TO
the property, but without trusees or cor
uorate members"

HARTRIDGE MOTION DENIED
Appellate Division Refuses to
Dismiss Case.

The Appellate Division Of the Supreme
Court denied n motion yesterday for the
dismissal of the charges that have been
preferred by the Bar Association against
Clifford W. Hartridge. counsel for. Harry n.
Thaw in his trial for the murder Of stan
ford White but granted the request for a
further bill Of particulars, giving each SIDE
two weeks 10 make answer HartridSe is
charged with unprofessional conduct and
with suppressing evidence and obstructing
justice.
In arguing for the lawyer yesterday, his
counsel. former Judge G. B. -. Hasbrouck'
took as his text. How far may a lawyer go
in supporting his clients case| which he
took from the code of ethics Of the New
York State Bar Association. The counsel
said that not name was mentioned in the
charges of a person whose testimony was
slnpressed or who was asked to stay away
from the trial Of Thaw.
He said there was great sentiment against
Tbav. and his family wanted everything
ia he done for him and was willing to pay
the price. He said that Hartridge saw
several persons now said 10 be witnesses.
.'Hartridge" continued Mr.. Hasorpuch'
had some of these persons remain silent
that what tneE knew SioNid ~" ~ ~
the newspapers, nor to the mother OF Ihaw
nor 10 Evelyn Nesbit Thav. wife of Harry
X. Thaw, and whom he expected TO TESTIFY
in his behalf.
The former judge went on 10 say that
Mr.. Hartridge made disbursements oil SIOo'-
coo. Of which about $4,000 went TO certain
women TO keep them silent and friendly
toward Thaw. After the trial, when the
action Of Hartridge against Mrs. Thaw
came before the United states Court, Judge
Hough said that the matter should be taken
to the District Attorney and the Bar AS
sociation. which was done. although the
District Attorney had taken no action. Nj
Hasbrouck said it was unusual to try a
LAWYER for something that happened out
side Of his profession.
Howard Townsend, for the Bar Associa-
ton. said: There is no question that
lawyer al times may represent a hlthy
client but there is no reason why the at
torney should fall into the filth

1T is argued that the court. in designat-
