spoke on behalf OF both labor organlza-

DR.. w. T. MANNING BACK
Went Abroad to Work for World
Church Conference.

The Rev. DR.. William T. Manning. rec
tor of Trinity Church, who sailed for Eng
land about five weeks ago to help in ar
ranging a world conference on faith and
order in the Christian Church, returned
on the North German Lloyd liner Kron-
prinzessin Cecilie yesterday. He re-
marked that his trip had been entirely
satisfactory and the movement greatly
advanced by the manner In which the
English had taken UP the idea.
DR. Manning was one of a committee OF
four appointed by the convention of the
Episcopal Church IN America at Cincin-
natl In October 1919. to confer with the
English churchmen on the movement
The other members were Bishop Charles
p. Anderson, of Chicago; Bishop a. =
a. Hall, of Vermont, and Bishop Boyo
Vincent. Of Southern Ohio.
Twenty Protestant bodies in this coun-
try have already appointed committees
10 forward the movement. Mr.. Manning
said but his delegation was the first TO
carry the project to the other side. IL
was ultimately expected TO interest both
the Greek and the Roman Catholic
churches in the movement, he explained.
and Cardinal Gibbons and the Bishop or
the Russion Church I'm New York had al
ready expressed their personal enthu-
siasm for the idea.
The general feeling seemed so far to
favor the holding of the conference IN
this country, Dr. Manning said. as the
place where the movement originated.

TO MAKE ALL HOTELS SAFE
State Marshal Forcing Summer Re-
sorts to Guard Against Fire.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune.

Albany, July 30.-Thomas j. Ahearn,
state fire marshal has received reports
from his inspectors Of about two hundred
and fifty summer hotels which they have
examined, so far this season, and in
nearly every case the inspectors have
found totally inadequate protection for
guests in case of fire. There is little
reason to expect any better reports from
the rest 81 the four hundred summer
hotels which will be visited before the
season ends.
Mr.. Ahearn is taking prompt measures
10 change this condition OF things. In
every case reported he is notifying the
hotel proprietors that they must provide
fire escapes and whatever safety appli-
ances may be necessary 10 protect guests
IN case OF fire In many cases where
there is no protection at all he has or
dered that fire escapes be installed at
once In other cases he has directed
changes to be made as sonl as possible,
and be believes that when next season
opens every summer hotel In the state will
have proper protection against iire.
Many hotels are now supplied with rope
Are escapes Marshal Ahearn believes
these afford practically no protection for
women and children. and he Will not per
NIT them 10 count as proper fire pro-
10 ction.

He will be met by the determination of

that NJ. Lott shall also come to this coun.

Mr.. Tyler returned on the Kronzprin-
zessin Cecille yesterday, after a summer
spent in persuading the French dramatist
TO come here for the opening Of his pro-
duction. NJ. Lott explained that he had
done enough travelling in his lifetime.

THE rest is with you
! Mr.. Tyler was taken aback. He pleaded,
but that dear France" had a strong hold
on the aging dramatist. He wished to
stay with his queer treasure houses, filed
with practically priceless curios from
the ends of the earth. He said that he
was not at home In crowds. that he
should find public notice distasteful. Mr..
Tyler persisted pointing out the value
to the theatrical property of the Lott su-
pervision. Ultimately the manager won.
But the consent OF the French poet was
conditional
Lott insists that Il he comes TO the
United States he is not TO be questioned
by reporters.
He is not to be snapshotted.
He is not TO be visited by lionzers.
His address while I'm New York is not

BRADY TO HEAR AMATEURS
Decides It Is Time to Give the
Neophytes a Chance.

Nevermore can the disappointed as
pirant for footiight honors return home
with the bitter complaint that he couldn' I
get q hearing Nevermore can the
stagestruck young thing lament that in
her a grea. actress died because the doors
OF the managers were closed against her.
There is now one who will listen to all
such, whose door is open to them for a
whole hour every day during the month
OF August. His name Is William A.
Brady.
"T fully realize" said Mr.. Brady yes
terday. that what we most need at
present is young, fresh talent and in
stead of encouraging II to come TO US we
have built an insurmountable barrier 10

particularly vivid sense Of vision to per-

bars we shall have to go on engaging the

in and year out, with mere hiltering N
OF the few who manage to creep und"r
the fence or fly over It.
ut has often occurred to me that IN
trying TO do away with the difficulty OF
digging up new talent we have been going
the wrong way about It and increasing
cur perplexities instead Of smoothing
them out.
There are almost countless instances
of young people with plenty of ambition
many of them with real gifts, who haye
come TO New York full Of hope, and after
exhausting their resources and wearing
out their patience. without seeing any one
but some underling, usually uncivil, have
gone home broken hearted. In this way
the impression has spread that the
managers do not wish to encourage as
pirng youth, but to crush II with indig-
nifty and contempt Managers have not
had time to spare for interviewing anna
