BIBLE TORN IN BITS
 WHILE MINISTER IS
 LAYING CORNER STONE
Well Dressed Man Appears on
 Scene and Tears Book to Pieces; Dr. Akeds Views Are Said to Be the Cause

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 2S.-A tall, well dresed man made his way through as crowd today, attending the laying of the corner stone of the First Congregational church and tore in pieces the marked Bible, throwing the torn leaves at the feet of the pastor, Rev. pr. Charles F. Aked. The Bibles cover was tossed on the cor ner stone. Before observers realized what had happened. the man quietly disappeared.
 The cover was tagged with scrip ture texts referring to the followers of new doctrines and inside was marked: Property of San Francisco Church Federation" Dr. Aked is president of that organization. One of the cards with which the cover was tagged. read. "Tekel." This word was printed in large red letters. Its meaning. as translated in the book of Daniel is Thou art weighed in the balance and found wanting"
 Dr. Aked recently became promin- ent because in his pulpit utterances he declared that he did not adhere to the orthodox doctrine of the virgin birth of Christ. It is believed the corner stone interruption came from some one who took that means of voicing his disapproval of the pastors course.

 Until this afternoon Carranza re- mained silent regarding his stand upon the request of Bryan three days ago for information of Benton's death. Carranza replied to both queries Of Bryan, those regarding Benton and Bauch.
