Its Foolish to Slam
The Rich for Gifts"
Says Capital Rector

Tho Rev. William Tayloe, rector of
the Church Of the Incarnation, last
night in a statement in answer to
charges by the Rev. George Chalmers
Richmond, rector of st. Johns Episco-
pal Church. Philadelphia, that the
Bishops Of Philadelphia and New York
were controlled by rich men. and that
the rich were running the church, said
that the charges would not be taken
seriously.
The Rev. DR.. snyder's statement fol-
lows:
''Dr. Richmond could have selected
no men farther away from his charges
than the Bishop Of New York and the
Bishop Of Philadelphia, both of whom
know. Both OF these men are highly
spiritual, and they are Christians of
the highest type.
ply because they give back to God the
gifts they had from him. 1t Ii a most
absurd statement to say that the infiu-
ence of their money is used or could be
used to influence for their gain the
clergy Of the church.
Il have no words to comment on the
abuse Of the church by one of its min
listers for accepting these gifts, which
are taken in Gods name.
The bishops could not be guided by
any such thing, and I cannot under
stand the reason for a statement that
they could. DR.. Rhinelander is one Of
the most Undetermined, spiritual. and
high-minded Of men. DIR. Greer is no
less great in the character of a great
Christian scholar. Such as make state
ments like these published by Mr.. Rich
mond are soon forgotten by all men,

Shark Sure Is a Fish;
Local Fishery Bureau
Classics Quaker Catch

A strange question, 1t seemeth. Eth?
Yes, SO think all the officials at the
Bureau of Fisheries here. But there Is
one consolation; the silly query did not
originate in Washington. 1t came from
Philadelphia, where the question seems
a serious one-serious because it in
wolves money.
1t seems that a fishing club Of that
city recently offered a prize for the big
best catch of the season. DR.. Robert E.
Lee, president of the Darby health
board, killed a ninety pound shark with
an ak, and lost no time in sending
his catch" to the club. There was no
question about its being the biggest, but
when the time came for the awarding Of
the prize DR.. Lee was passed over,
NAL" DR.. Lee is very much perturbed,
and he has appealed to the State Fish
Commission for an opinion as to whether
a shark really is a fish or not.
rs a shark a fish,
The question was put yesterday after
noon TO DIR. Lester Jones, deputy COM
missioner of the Bureau of Fisheries.
The query took away the deputy's
breath, but when he sufficiently recov-
cred, he whispered:
1T certainly is"
He was told the pitiful story Of DR..
Lee, and his reply was:
The man was treated unjustly. He
certainly should have been handed the
prize, for still I maintain that a shark
is fish"

BANKERS TO BE CALLED
INTO PROBE OF SULZER
Not Known Yet Whether Governee o.
Charles F. Murphy viii Be
Summoned.

New York. Aug. 4.-Eugene Lamb
Richards. jr., counsel to the Frawley
committee, which is delving into Gov.
Suffers campaign fund. declared that
the opinion of Attorney General Car
mody unfolding the legality OF the
committee throws wide open the doors
and the investigation will go along
now with renewed vigor and increased
hope of getting at the bottom Of the
facts under inquiry.
The investigation will be resumed
Wednesday morning in the old Coun-
Gil Chamber of City Hall The officials
of the Mutual Alliance Company and
the Farmers Loan and Trust Company,
in which Gov. Sulzer and his confiden-
tial secretary made their deposits dur
ing the campaign, have been SUBJ
poenaed to appear and bring along
their books showing full records Of the
deposits of the Governor and Senator
Hickey. Mr.. Richards said that other
bankers and financial men in New York
who are alleged to have contributed to
the Sulzer campaign fund are being
sought, but their names are withheld
until service has been made upon them.
No further difficulty is anticipated now
in forcing the production of the banks
books and securing answers to the
questions put by the committee.
MIR. Richards was asked whether the
object Of the investigation was to show
that a crime had been committed and
what crime would be embraced in the
revelations II it were demonstrated that
campaign contributions had been received
which were not accounted for.
Il am not concerned just now with any
crime" was his reply. My sole duty
and object is to bring out all the facts.
As to the Governor, there is some doubt
as to the authority of the committee to
summon him a witness. No considera-
ton will be given to the advisability OF
calling Charles +. Murphy until the Gov
ernor has presented some evidence con-

Clnnin Discusses Measure.
Roy c. Clafin. chairman Of the dele
gate executive council of the District
Delegate Association. said last night:
This bill Is the result OF a very careful
and exhaustive research into the most
modern State laws bearing on the sub
jects of direct primaries, registration, the
Australian ballot system, prevention Of
corrupt practices, and other phases in
cluded in the bill. Incidentally, the pro-
posed law also provides for the express
sion of a Presidential preference in con-
junction with the primary for the nomi-
nation Of candidates for District delegate.
"A careful study Of the bill will
make it apparent that safeguards have
been erected to assure the true express
sion of the intelligent sentiment Of the
community.
I'VE believe a Delegate to be pref
able to a Representative having to
vote on all matters before the House Of
Representatives, because the duty OF vot-
ing would require much OF the time of
the delegate who would have to study
up the questions Of general legislation
before the House.
I'VE are not interested so much in
partisan politics as We are in the secur-
ing Of beneficial legislation for the citi-
zens of the District, and we heartily be-
lieve that this will be the result IL the
bill which Senator Poindexter has intro
duced becomes a law"

Magero is dying in the Braddock

The two met at Eleventh street and
Wood Way and began a warm argu-
ment over who would marry Juanita
Morosino. While the discussion was
going on the girl came along wi h her
brother, and she laughingly informed
the rivals that she would marry the
one who proved himself to be most
courageous.
After she left Magero and Jenacile
renewed their argument. While hot
words were passing between the mcn
Jenacile suddenly pushed Magero into
Wood Way and there challenged him
to a duel to prove his courage. At an
agreed signal both men pulled tier
revolvers and began firing. Jenacile's
aim was best and Magero fell with a
bullet over the heart and one in the
arm.
An immense crowd, attracted by the
shooting, attempted to surround jena
cile, but he made his way out Elev-
enth avenue and disappeared. At the
hospital the girl declared that she
would marry Magero if he recovered.
