SHORES TAKE Him
TO MORGUE ALIVE
Fellow Patient Admits Ad-
ministering Soothing PO-
tion" in Paris Hospital.

PARIS, Oct 13.-The attention Of
Paris has been shifted for the moment
from things diplomatic to q mysteri-
Gus murder case which has bafled
the police and medical authorities
who ere investigating il.
It began I'm St Louis Hospital,
where a man tnamed Laurie was sup
posed to have died suddenly. As he
had no home and as he had no rela-
tives apparently-there being no
papers or signs about his clothing to
indicate any connections anywhere
his body was taken to the mOrEue.
When the body was placed in the
freezing chamber the attendants dis
covered that II remained warm for
some time, becoming cold very slowly.
The startled attendants informed the
police, who, after an investigation in
which they linked every scrap Of evil
dence, from a stained sheet in the
hospital bed he had occupied TO a
strange shoe found near IL and be-
longing to a man who had occupied
the room nearest the victim. set out
upon a search for a man who was
discharged from the hospital shortly
after Laurie died.
After a long hunt through the
Apache quarters and in every corner
OF the Montmartre, this man finally
was arrested. Questioned by the po-
lice, ne said: Laurie suored 81 loud
ly that none Of the patients near him
could sleep, 50 1 gave him a soothing
potion"
The evasive answers OF the pris-
oner and his suspicious character
complicated the mystery further. The
man could not give a satisfactory re-
ply when asked what kind Of "sooth-
ing nation" he had given to Laurie.
The police and coroner are now in
curing into three theories as 10 the
cause Of death; whether fe was killed
by the soothing potion" or whether
he succumbed TO the cold in the freez-
ing chamber Of the morgue after re-
covering from his stupor.

OCCUPATION
BORES SFIUNE

ROME, oct. 18-Both italy and
Plume are becoming bored 70 dis
traction by Gabrielle DAnuunZio's oc-
cupatlon Of Fiume.
While neither IS disposed to re-
nounce in the slightest degree the de-
sire and determination that Fiume be
come Italian, both frankly admit that
after a months occupation Of the
Adriatic city by the pOet-warrior, not
a single forward step has been taken
toward final solution Of the Fiume
problem.
il Is felt the peace conference may
finally consent TO set up Fiume as a
separate buffer state under Italian
mandate. and that this may be the
nnal solution. In the meantime, Italy
and Fiume alike are beginning to feel
that D'Annunzio's obstinate Clinging
on only delays and complicates posi-
biIities OF q peaceful settlement which
both ardentiy desire.
AS a result Of the poet dictatorship,
even italian ships no longer enter and
leave the port. Fumes commerce is
completely dead. The shipbuilding in
dustry, which was looking forward to
busy times, IS closed down Ships are
needed TO replace those which were
lost in the submarine campaign, but
the shipysrds cannot operate because
no raw material can reach the port.

Deportation OF Immigrants after

on his return to day from Pittsburgh.
Senators on the investigating com

trouble is to be averted.
"To neglect this duty means very
troublesome times and very serious

He proposed to the Labor Commit
tee that a bill be drafted providing
for deportation OF foreigners who
have not learned English at the end
Of five years. Compulsory education
and a shorter working day must ac-
company this, Walsh declared.
For more than ten years we have
completely neglected the problem Of
Americanizing the foreign born" he
said. "They are not so much TO blame
as ourselves. They are naturally
sympathetic with American institu-
tions, but they have seen too often
the worst side OF life here. They
seem to have the feeling, whether
justified or not, that public officials
ia their communities are prejudiced
against them, and hostile to their
interests. During the steel strike in
vestigation we have been repeatedly
reminded, regardless Of whether it
be the fact or not, that these for
eign employees believe their rights are
being disregarded and that police,
local company officials, and the courts
VIII not treat them fairly"
Breeds Anarchy.
This condition breeds anarchy,
Walsh warned.
such beliefs make these indlvidu-
ais entirely receptive to anarchistic
views" he continued. Tt is time
for America to do something and
not another day should be lost in
trying to make amends for neglect
Of these people during the last
decade"
walsh referred 70 testimony Of one
witness at Pittsburgh, who declared
there are only 800 Americans in one
steel town Of $4,000.
Shorter working hours are essential
IL immigrants are to be taught Eng
lish, Walsh said, citing testimony OF
many WOTkmen who said they worked
from ten to fourteen hours aday.

he said.

In view Of the fact that the receipts

DIR. M'KIM OPPOSED
TO RITUAL CHANGE
D. C. Rector Backs Virginia
CleriCS in Fight Against
Prayer Book Revision:

DETROIT, Oct. 13.-The Rev. DR..
Randolph H. McKim, rector Of the
Church Of the Epiphany, washington,
has aligned himself with the Vir-
ginia delegation to the triennial
Episcopal convention here, in oppOsi-
tiOn to radical changes proposed in
the Book Of Common Prayer.
In discussing the proposed changes,
one Virginia member said today:
'The general convention has gone
as far as IL can on the question Of
the revision and enrichment Of the
Book Of Common Prayer.
''If an attempt is made on the floor
Of the House Of Deputies to force the
issue Of sanctioning the reservation Of
the sacrement, and II that issue is
successfully pushed, the Virginia dele
cation will meet the situation. Let
me say this, the Virginia Church was
out Of the General Convention for
four years during the war between
the States and 1t managed to get
along very we'll If necessary we
can stand alone again"

Virginia Warns.

The deputy from Virginia said he
was not speaking with the authority
Of his fellow delegates to the Epis-
cOpal convention. But" he added,
81 want to warn you to watch ViF-
ginia Its fighting spirit is not dead.
The church seems to be very much
concerned about alliances with the
churches of the old world. Let me
tell you the great issues OF this con-
vention are issues Of Americanism.
Virginia stands for the healing Of the
near breaches. If we are to strive
for church unity, let US endeavor to
bring the people round about US into
communion and let US not raise i'm
passable barriers by turning back the
pages OF history and being thorough
ly reactionary. The Protestant spirit
is not dead by any means. and the
Protestant spirit is the Virginia
spirit"
The Washington times., 1919-10-13
Tactical HIunder.

In the opinion Of the Low Church
leaders, q tactical blunder was made
when some OF their number forced the
High Church issue in the matter OF
the memorial days prayer.
1--WE should have stood together to
wait until the changes in the second
report OF the revision committee were
broached," said a clerical deputy.
''Now the house OF deputies stands
virtually committed to the issue Of
prayers for the dead"
There seems to be much doubt, even
among the High Church men. as to
their chances Of putting the revisiOns
through. In Detroit today it Is argued
lative sessions are considered, remains
for discussing the revision. One dis
tinguished church man said the only
possible hope for the revision was in
he calling OF a special convention to
discuss nothing but the proposed
changes.
All the members OF the commission
on the revision and enrichment Of the
Book OF Common Prayer have heard
''from the country" as they put it. on
the matter Of enrichment. Bishop
Brent's keynote speech and the heated
addresses on the floor of the house OF
deputies have led to serious discus
sions as to whether the temper OF this
convention will permit the devoting
Of long sessions to conferences over
HturgicaI changes.
II was learned today that the pro-
posaI for the concordat with the Con-
greRational Church, viewed by many
as the longest possible step toward
church unity contemplated BY the
Protestant Episcopal Church, would
be first introduced in the house OF
bishops and not in the house OF depu-
ties, as was expected.
Reason for Change.
The reason for the change in the
plan is:
First, on account OF its being a mat
ter affecting ordination, IL was felt
more fitting that IL should be first con-
sidered by the bishops.
Second, that there was ground for
hope that IL would meet a more fav-
orable reception in the house OF
bishops than in the house OF deputies.
The concOrdat contempIates the
Episcopal ordination Of ministers OF
the Congregational Church while at
the same time permitting them to re-
tain their own communion. The pro-
moters OF the concordat are planning
to present their proposals in the form
OF a canon. This would make II pos
sible for the concordat to become
operative on January 1 OF next year,
II passed.
The first move on the part Of the
opposition will be the contention that
1t involves an amendment to the con-
stitution, which, IL adopted at this
would have 70 be ratified
in 1922. Canvass OF the house OF
bishops by one Of their number indi-
Gates that the opposition to the con-
cordat is too well organized to permit
its passage at this convention.
Certain Of the high churchmen have
served notice on the proponents Of
the measure that II IS utterly incon-
sistent with Catholic principles. and
that they could not remain in the
Protestant Episcopal communion.
