DENIES AUTO VICTIM
LEAPED FROM ROOF
Father of Girl Angered at Police
Story Saying Witness Saw
Her Jump to Death.

Mystery surrounding the death Of
Miss jeanette Gibson. who was picked
up dying on the sidewalk in front Of
her home at 361 Lafayette Avenue,
Williamsburg, deepcned yesterday, al
though the police found witness who
said he saw the girl leap from the roof
Of her home.
William II. Gibson, her father, last
night denied emphatically the theory
advanced by the police that she had
committed suicide. 81 am indignant
at this story" he said. at is made
public by the police, who have not been
able to apprehend the autoist who is
believed to have run down my daughter
and then escaped
Dennis Deegan was on his way from
his home, 249 Clifton Place, Brooklyn,
Friday night to catch a trolley car
when, in passing the Gibson house. he
saw what he says he thought was a
large bag fall from the roof. He told
Coroner Wagner that he paused.
looked closer and found that it was a
woman.
Seeing that she was seriously IN
jured, he said, he ran TO the home OF
DR.. Homer Jones, 332 Lafayette Ave-
nue., and told him to look after the
woman. Then Deegan hurried along
on his way.
1t was not until late Saturday night,
the police say, that Deegan told them
what he knew about the case. He said
that while fishing in Sheepshead Bay
Saturday afternoon he happened to
notice in a newspape. that the police
Of Brooklyn were searching for the
automobile driver who was alleged to
have been responsible for the Gibson
girls death.
Coroner Wagner began his investiga-
tion of the case at the Classon Avenue
police station yesterday afternoon, with
Deegan as the principal witness. DR..
Forbes Muuson, Of 32S Lafayette Ave
nue., the Gibson's family physician, tes-
tilted that the dead girl had suffered
from epilepsy and that she often had
become morose from brooding over her
condition.
The denial of the suicide theory by
the father throws an entirely new as
pect on a mystery which the police
considered as good as solved

Effort to Heal Breach Be.
tween High and Low
Sections.

Twentv-four OF the leading Episco-
pal clergymen Of the New York Dio-
cese announced from their pulpits yes
terday morning their approval of the
determination of tha Episcopal Board
Of Missions to send delegates TO the
Panama Protestant Congress, - decision
which has caused much dissension IN
the Episcopal Church and which result
ed in the immediate resignation OF i've
members Of the Mission Board. A;
the same time letter signed by the
clergymen, expressing their views OF
the legal aspect Of the action taken
by the Board OF Missions, was dis
tributed to their congregations, which
were urged to remain cool under the
present strain.
The object Of the ctiou was to quiet
the agitation which exists and prepare
the way for the return Of peace be
tween the High and Low Church par
ties in the Episcopal Church. but it is
not improb. bic that il will tend TO
widen the breach which has existed
between the factions since the Board
Of Missions voted OIL October 26 TO
send delegates 10 the congress. Four
teen Of the clergymen who signed the
letter are pronounce Low Church
leaders. Ten OF :he signers occupy
middle ground, no being members
of the High Church party.
1t was learned yesterday that coz
ferences, invitations to which were
carefully restricted to Low Church
clergymen, were hs!d at St. Bartholo-
news and St. Thomas churches for
the purpose Of preparing the letter,
and it was agreed by all who at
tended that they would preach about
the matter from their pulpits yester-
day.

4 BUFFER RACE

Armenia lies in the northeastern
corner of Asia Minor between the
Black Sea and the Caspian, the eau
casus Mountains at the north. In that
small spot probably a million Armen-
ians struggle to maintain sort of ma
tional existence. Outside of Armenia
proper there may be another million
Scattered among them in Armenia are
Kurds, Turks. Jews and others.
That the Armenians are a wholly
inoffensive and lovable race is not al
legged, for there are turbulent spirits
and untamed natures among them
But as a people they are indoctrin-
ated with the Christian religion. and
for the most part live peaceable and
industrious lives. The Armenian
Church is ancient. Its theology diff
fers from the other Eastern churches
and from our American bodies. But
because they are a branch of the
Christian Church. the Armenians have
received the impact of Mohammedan
hatred which again and again has
broken out in ungoverned persecution

buildings just as was the practice
when governmental work was being
carried on there. At the American
consulate, which is less than six hun
dred yards from the Austrian posi-
tions, only one bullet has shown itself
from the Austrian fire. This happened
three months ago while the consul, a
Nirginian, was away. An Austrian
bullet came through the window of
the room occupied by Vice-Consul
Thompson, missed his head and went
through the head of little dog owned
by Thompson, and the dog still lives.
Thompson put an American flag on the
mast of the British legation, took over
its affairs. and although no business is
carried on in it. has succeeded in saw
ing the building from the Austrian
sunfire. - Correspondence Of T h e

Railroad communication between

AN EARLY SOCIAL EXPERIMENT

The disciples said: "Send them
away" Jesus said: Give ye them to
eat"
What was the difference? Why did
Jesps say one thing and the disciples
another? Because Jesus was moved
with compassion, while the disciples
did not care.
Christ was creating an organiza-
ton that should last through the CEN
turies, and whose spirit should be one
of radiantand persistent and efficient
helpfulness. So he gave this inner
circle an object lesson. Don't send
these folks away. Feed them. Give
them what you have. l am sorry for
them. They are hundry. The Chris
