Misconduct In Baltimore and in New
York is set up in the petition filed in be-
half of Mrs. Gibson. The bill says that
Mr.. and Mrs. Gibson separated in the
spring OF 1914 because Of divers un-
happy contests and differences"
The action OF Mrs. Gibson in filing a
suit for an absolute divorce did not ex-
cite surprise. II was generally known
that the couple had separated and that
efforts at a compromise had failed.
Mr.. Gibson is a son of the late Senator
Randall Lee Gibson OF Louisiana and "a
nephew OF Mrs. White. wife of the chief
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court. lie inherited a fortune from his
father. lie has been prominent in
Washington and New York society for

Der and had some reputation as a play
wright and writer. Mrs, Gibson Is a
granddaughter Of the late enator James

horsewonan and swimmer. The couple

Gibson that they were married on
February %. 1909. and lived together
until April. 1914 1t rs understood that
Mr.. Gibson will contest the suit. His
counsel said this ar ernoo that every
allegation in the bill of complaint would
be met by his client.
The marriage Of Mr.. Gihson and Grace

REUSED BY POETRY
Mrs. Eva s. CrOpScy Tells Of
Delving Into the Doctors
Pockets.

Mrs. Eva s. Cropsey. who is being
sued for divorce by Dr. Charles Crop
sey Of Rutherford. y j.. at yesterdays
hearing in the ChanCery Chambers, Jer-
Soy city. told why she became suspi-
cious of her husband when she found
poetry in his pockets. She said she
suspected he had received tho love ef-
fusions in rhyme from another oma
because he had never read poetry to
her at home.
When asked II she were in the habit
OF delving into the doctors pockets.
Mrs, Cropsey replied that she did at
times. She said she sometimes took
things she found, including money or
ders. Asked II her husband did not
object TO such conduct the witness said:
Eyes. he objected. He said If he found
me in his pockets he would choke me"
Mrs. Cropsey denied she ever used
profane language in addressing her hus-
band. She said it was he who swore.
one day when she went into the doc
tors Office to get seventy-tive cents
with which she was going to buy a pair
of rubbers, as she testified. the doctor
flew into "A rage and shouted
III you don't get out'of here I'll send
for the police"
occasion her husband told her II he
had as few friends as she he would
jump into the lake, She denied she told
him that when she got through with
him he would be glad to leave town
and he would not have a necktie on
either.
The trial will be continued before

BISHOP BURGESS
COMMENDS WILSON
Higher Ideal Of Humanity
Than Ever After the War,
He Says.
UNBELIEF AND SUICIDE

GARDEN CITY. L. L.. May is-wer has
not proved that Christianity has failed.
said Bishop Frederick Burgess In his
annual address to the convention OF the
Protestant Episcopal Diocese OF Long
Island to-day. and there should be moth
ing in the war to trouble our faith.
When 1t is over. he predicted, there will
be seen n higher ideal Of humanity than
has ever been shown In any other war.
Bishop Burgess gave high praise to
President Wilson for the stand he has
taken toward foreign analrs. and said
ut would seem to ME that he only
attitude for church people at this criti-
cal time hould be that Of the loyal
citizen. We have at the head OF our
Government a man Of high ideals, with
large sympathies and stern self-control.
To give him the honor and the o
hdence which a passenger gives to the
captain OF the ship on a stormy igh
Is to be true to both church and state"
The greatest danger to the church of
the present day, In the opinion OF Bishop
Burgess. Is the constantly falling attend
ance at Sabbath services. Suicide and
the di~sintegration OF families. he pre-
dicted, would result from the growth OF
agnosticism unless II Is checked.
Church attendance has not kept pace
with the growth ~ the church," he said.
There are many church families where
going TO church is no longer regarded.
as In former times. as part of their Sun
day life. | would not plead for my So
called Sabbatarian Ideas, but the Chris
tian church will not long survive II the
thought OF the Lords Day as a day of
public worship OF Almighty God 10 lost.
We do not need a revival. with its COM
mercialism, Its coarseness. Its sensation
alism. but we need . sense Of RESPONSE
bility among all church people.
The time will como In America be-
fore many years OF the struggle with
unbel,ef and agnosticism. n It will
not avail then when II Ia too late to
lament the growth OF suicides among
those who have no Christian basis to
their morals or the disintegration OF the
family among a people who have made
a mockery Of marriage by their divorce
laws"
Three hundred members Of the clergy
and laity Of the diocese attended the
opening OF the convention. Services were
held in the church. followed by Holy
Communion, and at noon the convention
began It's session with the election OF
the Rev. Hobart Rogers as secretary
and the Rev. John II. Sattig as assistant
secretary. Thu convention will close to-
day.
