report that Hans Schmidt, now under ar

an imposter who has adopted the name

The man has been identified over and over
again, and he himself laughs at the re,
port that he is an imposter."
II is understood that the District Attor-
ney and the two alienists engaged by
him TO observe the mental condition OF
Schmidt are convinced that the man is
quite sane. The District Attorney is,
therefore, proceeding with his prepara-
tions for the trial on this basis. The
case will go to the grand jury on Octo-
Der ., but it is probable that an ad-
,journment will be required.

the following resolution adopted by

pal church in New York, October,

concurring, That we, the members of

tant Episcopal Church, do hereby af-
firm that the church stands for the
ideal Of social justice, and that It de-

order in which there shall be more
suitable distribution of wealth, in
which the social cause Of poverty and
the gross human waste of the present
order shall be eliminated; and in
which every worker shall have a just

of progress. And since such a social
order can only be achieved by the eff
forts of the many who, in the Spirit
of Christ, put the common welfare
above personal gain, the church calls
upon every communicate, clerical
and lay, seriously to take part and to
study the complex conditions under
which we are called upon to live, and
so to act that, the present prejudice,
hate, and injustice may be supplanted
by mutual understanding, sympathy,
and just feeling, and the ideal of
thorough democracy may finally be
realized in our land"
When the meeting was thrown
open to the public for fve-minute
addresses, the sincerity of the
church, in it's revolutionary action,
was questioned Labor, from past
experience that nothing is given for
nothing, demanded what political or
economic reasons inspired the
church in her offer. to help advance
social justice.
From Socialist to anarchists, from
free thinkers to conservatives, the
speeches consisted, in the main, of
the individual Interpretation of So
cial injustice, and ranged from cold
logic to the white heat of passion.
Miss Mary o'Reilly, a Socialist,
thought the church should be taken
into the fold and permitted to ally
itself with labor's struggle for exist
ence. ..e-
A young man who stated his name
was Plotkin said that the church was
supported by the capitalists who were
crushing labor. That it was in the
capitalist class, itself, owning several
million dollars worth of property in
the city of New York, on which were
erected tenements that were breed
ing places of consumption, and that
it had repeatedly refused to tear
down those tenements from which it
was reaping enormous gain.
