ure, will be again taken UP at q confer

tee; Select Councilman Eduard Buchholx,
John II. Fox, attorney for Councils John

The entire power of tho Administration

and the Riggs officials, supported by the
banking interests of the country, are
said to be behind a movement to have
the next Congress abolish the office Of
Comptroller of the Curfrcncy by having
its duties merged in the work of the
Federal Reserve Board. This movement,
of course. is largely personal against
Mr.. Williams.

HARRISBURG, Pa. April 15.-The bills
now in the Legislature to Increase the
revenues of the state between 5000, 900
and s60OO,OdO a year, mostly for use on
the State highways, were discussed to-
day at a two hours conference between
the Governor and the legislative leaders
Those who attended the conference
were the charmen of the two appropria-
tions committees, Senator Buchanan and
Representative Woodward, and the mem
bers of the Joint conference committee oa
legislation. This committee consists of
Senators Ware, NIcNichol, Grow ara
Sproul, and Representatives William II.
Wilson, Henry I. Wilson, Williams and
Speaker Amber. No subject except
taxation and revenues was discussed at
the conference, but 1t became known af-
ter the conference that the leaders have
decided to pass the Governors child labor
bill in substantially the same form in
which it passed the House.
The Senate leaders We're at first in
clined to amend the bill in the Senate SO
as to provide for a 5i-hour week and Il
1O-hour day instead of the 51-hour weekly
and 9-hour day, now provided for in the

agreed, will be increased from 215 per
cent. TO 31s per cent. This increase would
bring the annual revenue from this tax
up to between 6OOOOOO and 100000 an

was agreed, will go to the State for use
on the highways, and the other 40 per
cent. will so TO the counties in which
the coal was mined. This is a compro-
mise with the representatives of the coal
counties, who have been asking for a
hfty-fifty division. while the Governor
at first wanted to divide the revenue on
a basis of two-thirds TO one-third.

RICHMOND DEFTES
"CURBSTONE VESTRY"
Struggle Between Episcopal
Rector and Church Takes a
New Turn.

The struggle between the Rev George
Chalmers Richmond rector of st. Johns
Episcopal Church, Sd street. below
Brown, and the faction which is attempt
ing TO oust him from the rcctorship. has
taken new turn with additional compli-
cations to the already involved muddle,
which will doubtless require many more
Although six of eight members OF the
"curbstone vestry" chosen a few days
ago voted last night to request the &C.
clesiastica authorities to remove Mr..
Richmond from the rcCtorship, 1t seems
probable that the clergyman will con
tinue to rule over the parish for some
time.
Tho organzation-which Mr.. Richmond
calls the "curbstone vestry' and which lie
says is without any legal authority-met
at the home of one of the members. Le-
roy A. McDcrmott, 3l45 North 9Th street
last night and voted on asking the re-
moval of the rector, after two of the
members. whom Mr.. Richmond had eX-
PEELED as members of the parish. had re-
ceived notice from Bishop Rhinelander
that they were reinstated. However,
shortly after the Bishop had sent such
notice he discovered letter from Mr..
Richmond which caused him to rescind
his restoration instructions. Therefore,
Charles a. Brown and William T. Ham,
ilton. the men Mr.. Richmond had cN-
pelled, had no authority to vote, even
were the "curbstone vestry" a legal one,
i'm the opinion of Mr. Richmond, his at
torney and the followers Of the rector
At the time they attended the meeting
and took the action, however, Brown and
Hamilton believed they had won a vic
tory over Mr. Richmond, and thought
they were within legal rights because
they were unaware that Bishop Rhine
lander had rcscinded his notice replacing
their names on the church record of
members.
The bishop notified Mr. Richmond last
night that he had made an error in re-
instatng the members at that time be-
catIse a 15-pagc letter Mr.. Richmond had
sent him had been delayed and he had
not found it until after he had sent let
ters to Messrs. Brown, Hamilton and
Richmond giving notice of the former ves-
trymen's reinstatement. The letter had
been sent Bishop Rhinelander, at his re-
quest. by Mr.. Richmond, and was Il
lengthy explanation of the rector's reason
for dismissng Brown and Hamilton from
membership in the parish. The bishop
said that the letter had been mislaid and
had not reached him until he made Il
search after Mr.. Richmond had notified
him that it had been forwarded to his
residence.
Mr.. Richmond said this morning that he
is not going to take any further action
for the present as neither Hamilton nor
Brown have any authority to act in any
way until the Bishop decides whether or
not he will uphold the action taken in dis
missing them. Bishop Rhnelander will
probably announce his decision within a
few days.
