District Attorney Swan is in posses

Baff's death.
The case will be placed before the

within few hours.

PENSION
System For Retired Clergy
OF Episcopal Church

Cleveland o., Feb. 1.-THE Right
Reverend William A. Leonard, d. D.,
Bishop of Ohio, today authorized the
following statement:
The Episcopal Church has determin-
ed to undertake the largest single en-
terprise in it's history, namely, to in
stitute system of pensions for it's
retired clergy.
Before entering upon this policy the
church did two things: Q) Made a
careful census of the salaries now paid
to clergymen, and (2) Had calcula-
tions made by expert actuaries of the
cost of maintaining a system the per-
be no doubt.
The census of salaries, now complet-
ed, shows the following principal
facts;
There are 4,420 men in the active
service Of the Episcopal Church in the
United States. Their average salary is
$1,000 year. This is not all cash,
but includes the value of house,
when provided. More than $500 of
these ministers, over one-half the to-
tai number, receive less than $1,50O a
year. Only 237 including the 1876
Bishops-receive $4,000 or over.
More than 700 men are paid less
than 81 900 and many of these 700 are
the older clergy, with very hard tasks.
The church now is virtually carrying
out scheme of retirement at the ex-
pense of its older men.
These meagre salaries are paid to
clergymen serving what is oftern as
serted to be the richest church men,
bership in America. Those men are
expected to have good education, to
dress well, to live and move among
people where rents are high, keep OPP
EN- house, always appear cheerful, and
preserve their physical vigor They
are men of devotion, who often exer-
else leadership in their communities,
and who must support themselves,
their wives and their children on the
salaries paid them, with little or no
thought of outside interests.
The ministers do not complain. But
the church itself must be efficient, Ef-
ficiency consists partly in being equip
ped to fight at the top-notch of enthusi-
asm and yigor. The minister cannot
do this If, with all his sacrifice, cheer
fully made, while he is active. he has
no assurance of competence in his
old age.
Railroad companies seek efficiency |
and enthusiasm from their men
through promises of pension. 1t is
in the broad interest of society that
every church should do the same.
The Episcopal church has passed
the exact vital statistics of the whole
body of her clergy through the labora-
tory of the best actuaries and has
adopted a pension system which is
