Hill so Retained

England and France make no claim
to any gains in the West, the British
contenting themselves with saying the
German attacks on the SCARED Hill 60
in Flanders have teen beaten back;

The Germans maintain they are
pushing forward to the northwest Of
Ypres and toward st. Julien village

A New Ruling

Colonel Roosevelt, under a new rul-
ing Of the court, will be allowed to tes-
tify in regard to facts not set forth in
the pleadings in mitigation Of dam
ages. He may produce evidence design
ed to show that he held no malice for
Mr. Barnes at the time he delivered
speeches in which the plaintiff was
named.
Mr.. Barnes was actually called as Il
witness for the defence today. after
Franklin Craley, secretary and treas
urer of the Albany Journal Co, had
sworn that books Of the corporation
about which he was asked, were in
the possession of the plaintiff. Mr..
Barnes was to testify in regard to how
much stock he owned in the Journal
Co., and possibly other things. He was
on his way TO the witness chair when
Justice William S. Andrews, presiding,
suggested that it might be a good idea
to have Mr.. Barnes get the books in
question which counsel said were in
a local hotel Attorneys for both sides
agreed TO tbs and Mr.. Barnes was i'll
structed to bring the books to court
with him in the morning.
Craley UNIFORMED
Mr. Craley said he did not know
much about the business Of the com
pany as he had been secretary and
treasurer only since the first of the
year. Counsel for Col. Roosevelt it
was said, planned to ask the plaintiff
some questions about the business Of
the journal Co, which Mr.. Craley was
unable to answer. Whether the law
yers would accomplish anything in this
direction depended. it was said, upon
the judge allowing the plaintiff to be
questioned as a witnessYor the defence
further than was necessary to identify
the books.
More Letters Coming
More letters that passed between the
late Thomas c. Plat, former United
States senator, on one hand, and Will
liam Barnes and Col. Roosevelt on the
other will also be produced in court to-
morrow. The letters were brought in
today by Edward T. Plat, son of the
former senator.
The testimony given today was Of
many kinds. There was evidence re-
ness said the plant of the Albany Jour-
nal contained job press. Another wit

City of Albany bearing the line Print

for that reason trouble was experienced
in getting a jury, i men being chal-

they would not believe a Negro as

CHAPEL OF MIRACLES"
CAUSES COURT FIGHT
Episcopalians Sue to Recover It
from Catholic Church.

Justice A. s. Tompkins, Of the Su-
preme Court, took testimony In Peeks-
kill yesterday In an action begun by
members OF the Protestant Episcopal
Church of st. Philip in the Highlands
to obtain possession Of the chapel Of
miracles" there. st. Philips Church is
attended by Stuyvesant Fish and other
wealthy colonists of Garrison.
The chapel is a part of the Graymoor
monastery of the Catholic Society Of
the Atonement, conducted by the Rev.
Father Paul, who was formerly an
Episcopal clergyman. The Rev. Arthur
Lowndes contends that the chapel was
donated 70 the Episcopal church and
turned over to the Catholics. and ii Is
demanded that il be reconveyed to the
Episcopal church. 1t is called the
chapel OF miracles" because Father
Paul has asserted that empty buckets
carried by a thirsty wayfarer were
filed by an unseen hand and that nu-
merous other miracles" had been per-
formed on the monastery grounds
The Rev. Frank Upjohn, OF Hastings,
and the Rev. E. c. Chorley, rector Of
st. Philips, testified that the chapel
was given 10 five trustees, who were to
hold il for the Episcopal church. II Is
alleged that after one Of the trustees
Gied Father Paul persuaded majority
of the others 10 transfer the chapel to
the Catholic church.

A campaign OF this kind, which would
cause the Church in New YORK 70
occupy its rightful place in the churen

the whole life of the city, Will MAKE
necessary the adoption Of a well or
ganized schedule of procedure. Inc
ultimate end of such schedule would
require each member OF the united
church TO win another member TO the
cburch's ranks within the next four
months. To bring this to pass 1t Will
be necessary for the ministers OF the
city to want such gigantic thing ac-
complished; it will also require their
unified cooperation In inspirational
conference and procedure, regardless
of denomination party, or committee
alignment. II such an agreement could
be brought about among these spirituaI
LEADERS Of the Church, the issue OF such
a movement will be secure.
The need Of the hour is definite
and direct specifcness which will allow
no other propaganda to take It's place
Nor would such a coalition interfere
