BEAT THEIR CELLMATES
Sing Sing Convicts Wreak Ven
geance on Prison Witnesses.

The unwritten law which condemns the
"squealer" has taken summary VEN
geance. II was learned yesterday, on a
group of Sing Sing convicts who testified
Thursday at White Plains In the arson
case which grew out OF the fire at the
prison in July. When the witnesses re-
turned to the jail that night their COM
panions fell upon them and beat them
into insepsbility before guards could eff
feet rescue.
One OF the convicts was so badly cut
and bruised that at first Warden Clancy
was OF the opinion that he had been
stabbed. Upon close examination how
ever. it was found that the knuckes and
boot heels OF the prisoners had done the
work. Only a nying wedge OF guards,
which hustled the convict witnesses down
a side corridor and into their cells saved
their lives.
IL was rumored about the prison yester-
day that an indictment had been found
by the grand jury, although Warden
Clancy said he had received no notice OF
such an action.

DR.. Anderson devoted himself to

,ions of faith and order. and said tnat
while the goal was yet distant. progress

he said. none OF us yet knows. may
say. however. that every hour and every
day finds us closer TO II. and the Ten

proved our efforts and Is giving us every
assistance This was probably the most
important matter before the convenuor'
for, as far as the unseen future Is con-
cerncd. these much mooted questions vi
religious education, missions and soc'ai
service hinge more or less upon the great
er question of Christian unity.
"All the churches are pressing toward
that goal posslbly on different paths. but
they all lead to the same place. We can
not vet see that goal. We don't KNOW
how far ahead it may be, and we can
say when We will reach II. But the bonus
Of the common purpose are dra"lhb luz
churches closer together. and God grant
that soon they may all be gathered INTO
the same great fold OF Jesus Christ!
Mr. Pepper said the proposed world con-
ference was but one step of the present
toward ultimate Worldwide CHRISTIAN
unity
"The two great obstacles in the path OF
Christian unity" he said, are the gen
eral vague opinion of the SUBJECT pr

OF the House OF Deputies OF the General
Convention, made a brief address. re-
viewing DR.. Huntington's ministry
Bishop Greer said that DR.. Huntington.
while not the founder OF the Cathedral
might well be called its builder. DR..
Huntington was the originator Of the idea
OF the Chapel Of the Seven Tongues"
OF which the chapel OF st. Ansgarius is
one. 1t was, therefore. most fitting and
proper, he said. that this chapel should
be memorial to DR.. Huntington.
After the benediction by Bishop Greer
the service closed with singing by the
choir Of For All Thy Saints Who From
Their Labors Rest"
The cornerstone contained no box and
has not as yet received its inscription.

Council Advocates Temper
ance Amendment to
U. S. Constitution.

Kansas City, Mo, Oct. A.-High cost
OF living, which has long figured In dis
cusslons in family circles, has entered
the religious field. and in a discussion
Of the National Council OF Congregational
Churches il was announced that the as
sessment of each Congregationalist In the
United States toward the support OF the
national council had been raised from
three to four cents a year In addition.
the church members have to meet other
assessments for the maintenance OF
churches and missionary bodies.
The fact that the commission OF nine
teen had decided to submit an increase
10 the council developed when the Rev.
Frederic n. Page, of Waltham, Mass,
who had obtained an advance copy OF the
commissions recommendations asked the
commission for information.
Frank Kimball, a member Of the COM
mission. explained the increase, but said
the commission hoped in later years TO
be able to lower the assessment having
a plan whereby the increasing profits OBJ
tanned from the publication OF Church
books and pamphlets would help 10 pay
the councils expenses.
Bad Faith Charged.
Mr.. Page, who is president of the sun
day School and Publishing Society OF the
Church, which has charge OF the publlca-
ton OF Church documents, sprang to his
olo ~ 10 u'ith
faith in not consulting his society before
considering such a plan. He also charged
that the commission had covered up its
financial statement, and hoped to place II
before the council tomorrow, hurrying II
through before the delegates knew the
real substance. DR. Page said the cat
heing out OF the bag he would Ike a
statement from the commission.
The Rev William F.. Barton, of Oak
Park. H., a member OF the commission.
replied heatedy, denying Mr.. Pages ale
cations.
There was no intention on the part OF
the commission to railroad anything
through the council" said he. I'VE in
tended To give a public hearing on this
question before We presented 1t to the
council tomorrow. and would have done
so had we not been delayed this after
noon by conference with the finance
committee
Would IL not have been a fair method
10 have sought "A conference with the
publishing society" asked Mr.. Page.
Remember. | am not talking now TOT
myself We cannot continue our task
II our funds are to be taken from us by
the national council
After a long discussion the commission
decided that II would depend upon the IN
creased assessment and not take the pub
fishing society's profits.

on the eve OF its adjournment for three
years the House OF Deputies disposed
yesterday Of every item left on its calen-
dar. This does not mean that to-day's
session will be devoid of interest The
pressure OF the feminist advance within
the ancient Church itself would appear
TO preclude that possibility. But II does
mean that a legislative body of more
than six hundred members, with free
dom of debate surpassed only in the
United States Senate, has in two weeks

with a complete sense of its responsibility
and of the significance Of its actions.
In the same period OF time the House

or by company OF reporters tempting
them TO strike attitudes, has disposed of
only seventy-three measures AZ least.
