Warden Has No Right to
Leave Prison Without
Permission, Is Charge.
SUPERINTENDENT TO
IGNORE KIRCHWEY
Professor Scents "BuncO" Game
in Linking Him with Os-
bOrne's Place.

Albany. Nov. 2.-Sing Sing is virtu
ally without head as a result of the
absence of Warden Osborne and the
resignation Of Elihu Church. Superin-
tendent o: Prisons John B. Riley said
to-day. He added that the warden had
70 right to leave his post without per-
mission, and that he exceeded his au-
thority in designating DR.. George W.
Kirchwey 10 act during his absence
Or. KIrchwey can sit around the
prison as much as he wants during tho
absence Of Warden Osborne" said the
Prison Superintendent, "but he can
have no authority in prison matters.
The principal keeper. in the absence of
the warden, is in charge Of prison dis
cipline and its enforcement. is a Nio-
lat,on OF prison ruler for the warden to
leave mis- post witUdt permission Tor
longer than twentyfour consecutive
hours. No such permission has been
granted to Warden Osborne. No ono
can take the warden's place without the
approval of the Prison Superintendent,
and | have not approved OF the selec-
ton Of DR.. Kirchwey."
While the action of Mr.. Osborne has
widened the breach between him and
Superintendent Riley, the later said ne
did not intend to take any further
steps in the matter.
II was reported at the Prison Depart
ment that in letter from Deputy War
den Johnson to Deputy Church the for
mer severely criticised the administra-
ton of Warden Osborne. The letter,
it is said, was placed on Deputy
Church's desk in his absence and found
its way 70 Warden Osborne. This. II is
declared. led to the belief by Warden
Osborne that Johnson and Church were
conspiring against him. Since then bad
feeling existed between Osborne and
Church it is reported.
Two letters were received to-day by
Superintendent Riley from Warden Os-
borne. One announced that the war
den intended to take two weeks vaca-
ton ard requested that Kirchwey TEN.
porarily take his place. The second
announced that Mr.. Osborne had APP
pointed Stephen Miller, jr., confidential
prison clerk in place of Church. The
Superintendent would not say whether
he would ratify Miller's appointment.
Superintendent Riley went to Auburn
this afternoon TO attend 70 some private
business. He said he did not intend TO
see Osborne, who is also in that town.

Whole Philadelphia Diocese
Controlled by 1t. He Declares.

fBy Telegraph 70 Tbs Tribune
Philadelphia, Nov. 2.-The question
"a to whether the Protestant Episcopal
Diocese of Pennsylvania is ruled BY
CAPITALISTS" was threshed out at yes
terdav's session of the ecclesiastical
trial of the Rev. George Chalmers,
Richmond. rector Of St. Johns Episeo-
nal Church. On the W tness stand, Mr..
Richmond reiterated his opinion, H.
ready expressed in letter to bishop
Rhinelander. that capitalists control the
Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. =,
"Who are the CAPITALISTS asked
Waiter c. Douglas, attorney for The
diocese.
Mr.. r chmond answered: ut is wen
known fact that almost every commit
tee of laymen at the head Of our do
cesar affairs is controlled BY men who
are representatives of the capitalist!c
class. Take our standing committee.

asked Mr.. Douglas.
NJ. Richmond said Bishop Rhine

George Wharton Pepper and Father

KIN OF WAR DEAD
CROWD CATHEDRAL
Class Hatred Bred Strife, Says
Mgr. Lavelle at Memorial.

With every pew in St Patrick's Ca
thedral filed and women in the garb OF
mourning kneeling in the aisles, high
memorial mass for the soldiers who
have fallen on European battlehelds
was celebrated yesterday morning.
At the direction of Cardinal Farley
invitations were sent 10 the foreign
consulates in the city, and the consular
representatives who responded were
seated az the head or the centre aisle.
The services were conducted by Father
Vincent Mclean, Cardinal Farley pro-
nounclng the benediction. Assisting In
the ceremonies were Monsignor Bruder
and the Rev. Fathers Murphy, Kenny
and Byrne.
Monsignor Lavelle, in preaching the
sermon Of the morning, reminded the
audience that November . was All
souls Day and that at least four mill
ion men had already been lost In the
war. Those slain" said the Mon
Signor, represent the flower Of tho
Caucasian race, tho picked glory OF the
youth Of Europe. They were those in
whose hands the fstes OF their Church,
their country and the world at large
greatly rested.
THE only explanation for the break
ing forth OF such struggle in this
century Of enlightenment is that class
hatred and animosity have oversproad
the earth. The greed for personal ad-
vantage has permeated all. Pharisee-
ISM has spread into every home, and
this has been the root of all our
worldly dissensions. May we be en-
dowed with wisdom and brotherly love
that will abolish race hatred forever, ="
A noticeable feature OF the service
was the predominance Of black clothes
amoLg the worshippers, sign that the
war. with It's losses. comes nearer TO
more persons on this eide than IS gen
orally supposed. The sze Of the throng
also approached the numbers who
crowd the great ca,hedrsls Of the fight
ing countries.

BISHOP REFUSES
$1,000 LEGACY
Unjust for Father to Bar Chill.
dren from Estate They Helped
to Earn, SAYS Mgr. McFaul.

Trenton, n. j.. Nov. Rather than
accept a legacy Of about $1,000 under
circumstances which he believed would
work an injustice, Bishop James A. Nc
Faul, of the Roman Catholic Diocese Of
Trenton, declared to-day that he would
take steps to divide the estate OF John
Butterhof. a farmer Of Egg Harbor City,
among Mr.. Butterhof's three sons and
daughter.
Mr.. Butterhof, who died recently at
the age Of ninety. left the bulk OF his
estate to Bishop McFaul to be used for
St. Michael's Orphanage and other
charitable purposes. He cut off his
four children with s.. declaring he had
done so because of their attitude tow
ard him in his old age. The will. made
in 1918, provided for the payment Of
small legacy to Egg Harbor City, gave
5000 TO a sister in Germany and 500 to
the testator's old church in Germany.
On learning that part Of the estate
represented the earnings Of the chill
dren, who had started to contest the
will, Bishop McFaul instructed his
counsel to prepare an agreement under
which the residue of the estate VIII be
divided equally among them.
