HEAVY CHURCHsvASE E
Little Daughter Of Prof. H.
E. Simpson Victim Of
Tragedy in. Front Of St.
Mary's Church; Tot Was
Swinging on Rim of Flow

ed; Death Was Instan-
taneous.

daughter of Prof. and Mrs H. E.
Simpson. TOT Belmont avenue, was in
stantly killed shortly after 1880
o'clock this afternoon, when one Of
the large metal flower vases standing
in front of st. Marys Catholic church
fell upon her.
According to those WHO saw the ac-
cident the child who had been play
ing in front Of the church, had climb
ed upon the vase and was hanging to
the upper edge. Her weight over
balanced the vase apparently and 1t
toppled over to the cement sidewalk
with the child beneath.
Child Crushed. .t.s
r., The little girls head and Hreast
were crushed, and n1angled almost
beyond recognition. 1t is thought
that death was instantaneous, as she
did not cry out after the fall.
Neighbors who had seen the acci-
dent at once rushed to the little girls
assistance. Medical assistance was
called at once and the unfortunate
child. was rushed to the Deaconess
hospital 1t was plain, however, that
nothing could be done for her. :,
No arrangements for the funeral
have been made as yet I5
Professor Simpson is professor of
geology, and. director of the weather
observation; bureau at the state uni
versity. He and Mrs. Simpson have
three other children. ~. =
The vase which caused the accident
is made of iron, and is one of pair
standing in front of the church. Its
weight falling from the height it did
was more than sufficient to cause the
fatal result.

against the discharge of two pilots.

sent to Second Assistant Postmaster
General Praeger Wednesday,. Mr..
Praeger replied that the orders dis
charging the two men had not been
revoked.
"They came into the service" Mr..
Praeger's telegram said, "as every
other pilot with the knowledge that
they must comply with the depart
ment's orders to fly with the mail
and where flying conditions are such
that they cannot operate they have
the option to resign"
The aviators say they have COM
planned on several occasions that the
planes supplied them were poorly
equipped for flying because Of their
high speed. They said they desired
lighter and slower machines, as in
misty or foggy weather the visibility
was so poor as to make high speed
dangerous. The men declared that
sinceSJuly l5 no less than fifteen acct
dents have occurred in which ten
planes wefesdendolished and two avi-
ators killed. -.,t

Housing Shortage Hits
Zoo; Oldtimers Evicted

The housing shortage reached into
Central Park yesterday in the form of
dispossess notices served through bars
on few friendly lions, a puma and an
assorted herd of peeved bulls, angora
goats, zebus and deer.
Materials for new zoo buildings were
not on the preferred list of the War
Industries Board, although live game
hunters enjoyed thems sstves in the
jungle in normal numbers AS crates
with fresh supplies of animals arrived,
the quarters became cramped until Of
fcials considered placing the eve lambs
in the same cages with the leopards
to reduce the geological population.
Park Commissioner Francis D. Gal
litin and his deputies finally deter
mined to take inventory and eliminate
the tenants who had ceased to be draw
ing cards Angora goats ware among
the first to be slated for eviction. 4
lion without pedigree and few cubs
who came into the world without much
family history were added to the list.
A puma, with no dependents, was in
cluded.
Just how the lion might fee! if he
knew that he is to be superseded by
yak, two ocelots, two armadillos and
two civet cats, is something which
probably even old Bill Snyder couldn' t
answer. One kangaroo and fifty prairie
dogs are among the new acquisitions.

Baptist Cleric Attacks
Pope and EpiscoPaIians

The Rev. George Chalmers Richmond,
Of Philadelphia. who renounced the
ministry Of the Episcopal C-iucch to
become Baptist clergyman, attacked
the Catholic Church, Pove Benedict and
Cardinal Gibbons and also assailed the
Episcopal Church and John Haynes
Holmes in an address yesterday before
the Council of Baptist Ministers at
Calvary Baptist Church.
Three facts prevented me from
seeking admission to tive Catholic
Church" said Mr.. RichmCsc- First,
the moral impotence Of that church as
| have seen it in South America and nv
knowledge of its history; second, the
outrageously immoral position OF tha
Papacy during the war; third, the at
tlJude of that church toward the great
social industrial and intellectual prob
lens OF the hour as explained to me re-
Gently by priest Of the Phiiadelphia
diocese.
In speaking Of the Roman Catholic
Church and its attitude toward the war
as expressed by Pope Benedict, Mr.
Richmond said:
u desire to say here that con-
slder the attitude of the papacy during 2
the war as totally contrary to the
teachings and spirit of Christianity.
1T was diplomacy of pretty poor
and outworn stripe which caused
out condemnation of Germany and
the Prussian position.
The world is sick of this religious
whine and grovVl that is emitted from
time 10 tinie by the Va.icsr Away
with your diplomacy, Benedict. T.0
world is IN search of prophets TODAY,
not diplomatists"

Motors and Motorists

The cross Long Island Sound ferries,
which do SO much hauling Of automo-
biles every year, will rot begin opera
tions until June 28. The boat formerly
operated between Rye and Sea Cliff
will ply between Rye and Oyster Bay
Putting two boats on the service will
make it possible for ferries to leave
the terminals every hour on the hour
between a. m. and p. m, instead of
every two hours, as formerly.
Service between New Rochelle and
Sea Cliff will also begin June 2s. Boats
will run every two and one-half hours
between a. m. and 7 p. m. from New
Rochelle, and between 10 a. m. and S
p. III. from Sea Cliff.
In addition to the old ferry running
on its former summer schedule Of
two trips day between Bridgeport
and Port Jefferson, an entirely new
boat will be put in operation June %
which will afford three trips daily in
each direction, leaving Bridgeport at
a. m, II noon and AIS p. m, and, re-
turning, leaving Port Jefferson at 10 a..
M, p. m. and 6 p. m. In July and
August there will be extra trips from

across the Hudson River are running
on much the same schedule as pre-
vailed last summer. Two ferries be-
tween Nyack and Tarrytown afford
half-hourly service between a. m. and
$3.50 p. m.
The schedule of the ferries between
Garrison and West Point, Poughkeep-
sic and Highland, Rhinebeck and King
ston, and Hudson and Athens, are ar
ranged so that boats meet New York

age interval does not usually exceed
thirty or forty minutes. The Newburgh-
Beacon ferry provides nearly fifty trips
daily, two boats being in operation
every day and three boats on holidays
and whenever traffic warrants.
