CALL ON DR.. AKED
TO RESIGN OFFICE
Minister'S Assn Aroused by
Denial of Miraculous Birth
of Saviour.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 4.-When
Rev. Charles f. Aked, a clergyman
of international renown, formerly
pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church, New York. and personal
friend of John D. Rockefeller, takes
the chair February 13 next as presi-
dent of the Church Federation of San
Francisco, and ex-officio. as chair
man of the executive committee of
the Federation, he will be called to
rule on a communication from the
Presbyterian Minister'S Association
in the San Francisco bay cities ask
ing for his resignation because of ut
terances from the pulpit of the First
Congregational Church last Sunday.
DR.. Aked said he would not support
the doctrine of the Miraculous Con-
ception and birth of Christ My
conclusion upon this question" he an
nounced, ''is that the faith of Mark
and John and James and Paul is good
enough for me. 1t is good enough
for any Christian. These men say
nothing about Jesus having come INTO
the world in miraculous way.
prefer to stand with them.
What do we mean by saying He
was divine? 1t is a question of quaint
ity and not of quality. There is divin-
ity in us, but so much more In Him
that l prefer to call Him divine. Per-
haps it would be better to speak of
the divineness of man and divinity of
Christ"

Sentenced to Serve Not Less
Than One Year.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Joseph Cas-
sidy, former Democratic leader OF
Queens county, and William Willett,
a former congressman, were SEN
fenced today to serve from six months
10 a year and six months in Sing
Sing prison and to pay $1,000 fine.
Louis T. Walter, a politician, was
sentenced to three months and fined
81, 900. Willett was convicted OF
poying a bribe to Cassidy for Su-
preme Court nomination Walter was
the go-between.
Counsel for the three defendants
said that they would apply some time
today for an order to show cause
why certificate of reasonable doubt
should not be issued This applica-
ton would serve automatically as a
stay of sentence. Other preparations,
they said, had been made for an ap-
peal
Should the sentence stand the
greatest length of time Cassidy and
Willett would have to serve Is year
and six months. but by good behavior
they might shorten their terms to a
year.
Before being sentenced Cassidy said
to the court: Il stand here without
fear, because l am not guilty. l have
committed no crime. As boss, every
man l ever elevated to positions has
filled that position with credit. l re-
call that, when your honor ran FOR
office, l supported you. l do not say
this to influence you on my behalf, be-
cause l have no fear | believe the
jury that convicted me did not do so
on the evidence submitted, but on the
summing up of the district attorney.
Politics was merely hobby with
me. Politics is the greatest charity in
the world. The wrong impression
prevails baout political bosses, but L
can tell you from experience that
boss always feels his responsibility.
Justice JaycoX, imposing sentence,
said: Zone fact always had the cour-
age of your convictions and never
hid behind anyone else. But the pun
ishment inflicted must be in proper
tion to the crime you have COM
mitted. 1t is bad enough to sell the
nomination for alderman. but you
have assaulted the integrity OF the
bench, and the bench has always been
sacred. ! sentence you TO hard labor
in Sing Sing for not more than a
year and six months and not less
than a year and to pay fine of
81 900 or stand committed TO prison
for day for each dollar of the fine

IFrom a stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Represent-
ative E. W. Townsend threw a bomb
in the meeting Of the international
Waterways Commission at its session
today. The commission asks an ap-
preparation of s110, 900, and Represent
ative Townsend opposed the grant on
the ground of economy. He provoked
the wrath of former CONGRESSMAN
Tawney, president of the commission,
when he showed that the commission
had held no meetings from April TO
September
The congressman also pointed out
that each of the three commissioners
was drawing $500 year, with $40 a
day and expenses for travelling: that
its secretary had $4,000 a year, stenog-
rapher and an expensive suite of
offices. Representative Townsend de-
elared that the commission was an
extravaganza and luxury and urged
it's expenditures be cut down in the
interest of economy.
