HUME RULE FUR
 ENGLISH CHURCH
 BUT STATE vETO
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

LONDON, July 26.-HOme rule for the Church of England in distinction from state control of the legislation of the Convocation of Canterbury, and yet the acknowledgment of the states power of veto, are the chief points in the report of the committee appointed three years ago by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to consider prob lems of church reform.
 The committee was appointed to consider what changes are advisable in order to secure in the relations of church and state a public expression of the national recognition of religion"
 The popular criticism that the Church of England does not represent the mind of the English people is frankly admitted as fact in the re- port. The latter reflects in other ways the manner in which the leavening in- fluences of democracy have been at work during the war.
 The committee proposes that it's rec concentrations shall be effected through the establishment of a Church Council, consisting of three houSeS-bishopS, clergy and laity. In the House of Clergy the parOchial clergy would have a majority, while for the House of Laity a system of representation is suggested with special measures for
 
 cent of its members shall be drawn from the working classes, and that there shall be an infusion of university teachers and students
 ! Special provisions are recommended looking to the preservation of the un- controlled powers of the bishops in re- gard to all matters of doctrine and to : the end that legislative measures af- fecting formalities or services must be : initiated in the House of Bishops.
 As to the method in which the states control over legislation by the church council should be exercised the proposal is made that every measure passed by the body should be reviewed by a special committee of the priyy council.
 i In case a measure is deemed to re- quire parliamentary sanction the pro- posal is that both the measure and the report should then be laid before bott houses of parliament. Before the measure may be submitted for the kings assent, it may lay on the table: of both houses of parliament for forty days, and then only in case no resolu- tions recommending against thi' course submitting it to the king-ar' passed.
 Some interesting points are raised in the portion of the report under Reservations and Appendices" signed by various members of the committee H. K. Kemp supplies memorandum on the aloofness of the working class. es from the church, which he find! partially accounted for by the convic- ton that it is a moral policeman use( in the temporal interests of the prop erty classes' and that the mora teaching of the church is against prog ress." Douglas Eyre considers 1t "es sential for the church frankly to clain the power, subject to the constitutions safeguard referred to in the report, l. make complete and effective rear engagements in connection with ecclesi astical property, the conditions of it! tenure and also in connection witt patronage" He adds that the churcl had far better make up it's mind be fore parliament is approached, that needs an entire reconstruction.

ST. THOMAS. b w. l., July 26- Nothing is known here officially con corning the probable purchase of the Danish West Indies by the United Statcs from Denmark. but the news that negotiations for the transfer lf the islands have virtually been com pleted, caused no surprise.
 Probably due to the reluctance of Danish capitalists to invest more money for improving and maintaining the islands conditions daily have been becoming more unsatisfactory.

NJ INJURY TO
 CAUSE OF HOME
 RULE IN IRELAND
Republican A. p. Leased wIre7

LONDON, July 26-The break down of the Irish settlement dos not in any way injure the cause of home rule nor indicate any change in the attitude of the government toward the Irish ques- tion, Sir Horace Plunkett told the As sociated Press today. Sir Horace. who for many years has been occupied with Irish agricultural and congestion problems, probably possesses as broad a knowledge of Irish affairs as does any man. He continued:
 The government was anxious to, seize the opportunity for an agreement between Sir Edward Caron and John Redmond to put the home rule act in- to immediate effect but before doing so it felt bound to ascertain the real sentiment of the Irish peope, which proved more unfriendly oward the scheme than either the government or it's Irish advisers believed.
 John Redmond had the greatest diff ficulty in securing the support of his followers whom he had time to con- suit and it soon became clear that he could not carry with him the general assent of nationalist Ireland.
 sir Edward Carson also severly | strained his authority in securing the limited approval of the Ulster union istS.
 | The government was naturally un- willing to impose on the Irish people settlement unacceptable to them and ii was found that the scheme tenta tWely offered to the two Irish leaders would meet with strong opposition 1 both in England and Irland. Hence considerable delay took place, but in the result a great blunder has been avoided. Opinion in Ireland is ob- Viously relieved by the withdrawal ot the too hastily constructed scheme

 ID BE IKE APPEL
Sheriff Leaves to Bring Back Body of Drowned Man; Identification
 Made Hard

It was reported to the sheriffs of flee yesterday that the body of an unidentified man, thought to be that of Ike or Sam Appel, drowned some time ago when the machine in which they were riding on the Apache Trail near Roosevelt went over an embank- ment had been found near Pine Creek, about eight miles this side of the dam
 Sheriff Adams left at once for Pine Creek to investigate and establish if possible the identity of the dead man. He telephoned to Harry Effron, for whom the Appel brothers had been working, for an accurate description of the two men and their clothing Sher- if Adams told Effron that the body which had been found was clothed in khaki. From this description Effron was inclined to believe that the body might be that of Ike Appel as when last seen he was wearing khaki coat.
 The body, from reports, was so badly decomposed that identification was practically impossible. Although no reports were received at the sher- ifs office from Sheriff Adams, it was presumed that he would bring the body back to Phoenix, and there establish definitely whether or not it was one of the ill-fated Appel brothers
