They went to a nearby drug store to have the flow of blood stopped. No policeman appear ed during the progress of the bout although there was a large crowd at- tracted to the scene

 Many of these suits are only from our tailors' hands within the last two weeks-all are advanced and exclu- sive styles.

Millions Can't Buy
 Episcopal Church, Say Frisco Clergy
Especial from United Press.)

(SpeclaI rom united PreSS.)
 San Francisco, Aug. @Every Epis- copal minister in this city has gone on record as endorsing the attitude of Rev. pr. Richmond, of Philadelphia, and the eastern clergy in general, on the Astor-Force wedding.
 Rev. D. o. Kelly, acting dean of Grace Cathedral, said, today: '''I consider Dr. Richmond's address plain, manly statement of the church law on the subject of divorce. There is no reason why Astor should have any more privileges than any other man."
 Rev. Robert McFarlane, rector of St. Lukes, said:
 "Dr. Richmond is to be commended. It is time for the church to make known in no uncertain way it's stand on divorce and marriage. The pluto crats must learn that their millions cannot buy the Episcopal church."
 Rev. J. A. Emery, archdeacon of the California diocese of the church. said he was confident no Episcopal clergy man would perform the ceremony.
