When War Caused Shortage
of LabOrerS Father CordOva
Went to Work With Ham,
mer and Saw; His Fifth
Church.

After working intcrmittently three
years, Father Juan \. CordOva, rector
of sacred Heart church, hopes that
his new church on South Fourth
street will be ready for offices the
latter part of August Father Cordova
said yesterday that during his service
in the priesthood he had built five
churches but has built none under
such difficulties as the present one.
The building was begun three years
ago, one year after the rector took up
his work here. The first year had
been spent in paying off the indebted
ness of 800 on the adobe structure
which the industrious priest found for
the Sacred Heart congregation when
he arrived. The building was not only
old but entirely too small for the peo-
pie and Father Cordova determined
before he was settled in his new
charge that a new church would be
built.
Plans were all laid and devout
members were liberal with donations
and it looked like the new church
would go up as fast as workmen and
material could be obtained. And then
the war came. Building material not
only went sky high but was hard to
get at all. Sometimes it was impos-
sible to get it.
Workmen were also scarce on ac-
count of the draft but that did not
bother the priest much He had been
trained as carpenter and when heI
came to Albuquerque he bought al
chest of tools with which he floored,
rooted and did most of the wood
work in his church at Isleta, Tex.
Therefore, he pulled on his overalls,
rolled up his sleeves and went tot
work, saving timbers and drivingl
nails between his duties as spiritual

OTTAWA, Ont, July "A resolution

The Department OF Labor has dis

AT an open meeting OF the strikers
this morning the request that they re-

MAYER ORDER AMENDED
Holding Company to Get Only
100000 Of Proceeds of
S20,O00,O0O Issue.

The United States Circuit Court OF APP
peals affirmed yesterday an order OF
Judge julius NJ. Mayer. authorizing Lind
ley NJ Garrison, as receiver for the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. to
issue $40. 600, 900 Of receivers certificates.
The order of Judge Mayer was modified.
however. The certificate Issue will not
supplant the lien OF the first refunding
mortgage Of 1902. rs 1t will the liens Of
other mortgages.
There are sz7,6oo.0oo Of the first re-
funding bonds outstanding, OF which
$3.439.000 are in the hands OF the public.
The Appellate Court based It's decision
on the theory that the B. R T. was a
private business corporation. otherwise
merely a holding company. when the
first refunding bonds were authorized.
Purchasers Of these bonds had the right
to assume that they were not subject to
the provision OF the law which enables
public service companies to issue first
lien receivers certificates.
The decision may have important re-
suits apart from It's immediate effect.
II appears to give support to the con-
tention that the holding company is now
a public service corporation liable TO
supervision by the Public Service Com
mission. An excerpt from the opinion
follows:
THE mortgage must as a matter Of
law give the same protection to all OF
the bonds issued under II, irrespective
of the date of issuance. Purchasers of
those bonds have a right to rely upon
the fact that when the mortgage was
executed, the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company was a holding company,
neither operating the roads which con-
stituted the system nor supplying them
with power.
ain our opinion. the business OF the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company was a
private one from 1902 to 1918. not at
fected with a public interest, and there
Is nothing to justify displacing the lien
of such a mortgage in favor of persons
who advance money, most OF which Is to
be applied to the benefit of other parts OF
the system
The Appellate Court was Of the opinion
that the certificates must receive priority
over other liens II the traction system Is
to be continued as going concern.
Less than 100000 Of the proceeds
OF the certificates Is to be devoted to
properties owned by the holding COM
pany. The remainder 10 TO be used In
sit subsidiaries with the city.
The decision was made on the appeal
OF Henry v. Poor. counsel for the trustee
under the mortgage, from the order OF
Judge Mayer.

MRS. PINCKNEY PHYFE
AFFIRMS SHE IS SANE
Obtains Order That Contrary
Be Proved.

Mrs. Grace II. Pinckney Phyfe, widow
of Duncan Phyfe and prominent in New
York social circles, has Indicated her in
tention OF contesting the allegation that
she is insane and incompetent to manage
her own affairs or the estate OF her hus-
band.
She obtained yesterday from Surrc-
gate Fowler an order requiring her sis
ter-in-law. Mrs. Edith Bell Phyfe, to
show cause why she should not be re-
moved as administrator of the estate of
Duncan Phyfe. and why the petitioner
should not be appointed in her place.
The petitioner states that following
the recent death OF her husband she
made a fruitless search for will he was
supposed to have made. disposing of an
estate OF more than s350,000, While
the search still was In progress, she
states, she was served with an order
which directed her to appear In the
Surrogate Court and show cause why
her sister-in-law should not be appointed
administrative.
She alleges she was under a severe
nervous strain brought on by her hus-
bands death and that through error she
appeared before Surrogate Cohalan, who
had signed the order, instead OF Surro-
gate Fowler. before whom II was re-
turnable. Her default was noted on the
court records and her sister-in-law ap-
pointed Administrative. John F. Couch,
lawyer, was appointed also as her
guardian, It being the courts belief that
she Is an insane person.
Blame for the alleged mixup is placed
upon Mrs. Edith Rell Phyfe by the petit
tloner, who says her sister-in-law is
guardian of the petitioners two children
and that on this ground she presented
her motion, alleging that Mrs. Grace
Phyfe WAS incompetent.
Mrs. Phyfe states that she Is in the
prime of life and enjoying good health.
She says her husband allowed her 5000

ing beverages,' which would be defined
the facts in cases as they might arise"
A manufacturer OF a we'll known
brand OF wine has been before the
Senate subcommittee and made a con-
siderable impression with the story OF
his own industry. He saw prohibition
coming long ago and wanted to save
his business. After years of expert
menting and large expenditure he de-
veloped a process by which the alcohol
is taken from grape wine. leaving Its
scent and taste unchanged. 1t sells to
wine drinkers and satisfies them, so he
asserts. and he has the testimony OF a
big business and ample fortune to
prove It
This -alcoholizing process is ex-
penslve. A plant costs about $3.50, 900,
but one plant will treat an immense
quantity OF wine. So he is asking that
the law allow manufacture OF wine and
Its transportation to these dealcoholiz-
ing central plantA There the alcohol
would be taken out and sold only for
mechanical and scientific uses while the
wine. not being intoxicating. would be
entitled to transportation ad sale.
VIII Investigate ton.
The story at first did not much i'm
press the Senators. but they sampled the
wine and were provided with supplies
OF 1t for chemical analysis to prove
that IL contained only q trace of alcohol
II complete Investigation bears out the
manufacturers story II. Is declared DOS
sible that provision will be made to take
care of his case. He says that II given
the chance he can make a market for the
grapes heretofore grown for wine, which
would be almost complete loss with
wine prohibited, because grapes useful
for making wine are almost valueless
for any other purpose.
In this connection an odd provision
in the agricultural appropriation bill ha $
just attracted attention. 1t appropriates
$4,000 which the Department Is to use
making experiments in grating. in the
hope of developing a method by which
the wine vineyards can be made to pro-
duce a type of grape marketable as
fruit. It Is explained that many mil
lions are/invested in raising grapes that
produce the finest wines but are not
good as fruit
