PLAINFIELD, N. j., Dec 1.-THE Rev

Presbyterian Church, is still on strike,
making good to-day his threat not to
occupy the pulpit until the Rev.

The deacons, who are backing the Rev
Mr.. Fountain, and who suggested that
the pastor do the apologizing, are to
meet Wednesday night, and there is a
rumor they may retaliate by declaring
DR.. Strong's place vacant.
The trouble between the two min
listers, which had its inception when DR..
Strong objected to the tenor of articles
Mr.. Fountain wrote for u religious pub
lication, reached a climax at a church
meeting last week. when the pastor an
nounced he was planning a series of
suppers and entertainments.
"For profit or to promote sociabil-
ity?" inquired Mr.. Fountain in q tone
in which DR.. Strong asserts he de-
tected trace of nastiness.
DR.. Strong, it is said, retorted by
disclosing a matter of strict conf
dence" between Mr.. Fountain and him-
self. This is the point upon which the
deacons base the demand that DR..
Strong apologize. The Rev. l.. J.

ers, on September Is, was arrested to-
night by detectives. Bonds valued at
$13, 3,O0O hidden in Tiemans trunk, were
recovered.
Steve Ostovich, Of New York. for
mer waiter in the Ritz Carlton Hotel,
who has been travelling with Ticman,

According to detectives, Tieman ad-
mitted the theft and gave detailed
account Of his movements since Sep
tember Is. He also told where the de-
tectives could find $14,50O worth of
bonds hidden in Palm Beach, Fla.
Tieman, who said his travels have
taken him to Chicago, Jacksonville'
formed detectives that he felt safest
in New York City and that he was
planning to return there tonight.
AS early as last April, according to
Tiemen's story, he had planned to rob
his employers of bonds intrusted to
his care. AS preliminary step he
destroyed all photographs Of himself.
Two Days at Turkish Bath
The boy told how. after starting from
the Office with the $4,000 in bonds, he
had gone to q Turkish bath. where he
remained two days. There, he said, he
heard persons discussing the disappear

returned to the financial district,

Shoppers Subway Loop
Is Demanded by Women
Threaten to Forego Afternoon
Visits Unless They Get
Transit Relief

The threat that women shoppers
shortly will refuse to visit the city's
crowded shopping districts in the
afternoon unless "intole rable subway
conditions" are remedied was made
yesterday by Mrs. Julian Heath, presi-
dent of the Housewives League Of
New York City, in urging the con-
struction of shoppers subway loop"
between the Grand Central and Penn
sylvania railroad stations.
According to Mrs. Heath the matter
has been discussed many times at re-
cent meetings OF women's clubs, a
unanimous decision being reached in
favor Of united action by the women
to force some sort of relief
"To date we have learned of only
one practicable solution" said Mrs.
Heath. "That is the proposed subway
loop sponsored by the Thirty fourth
Street Board of Trade. This loop-run-
ming on the local track from Grand
Central south to the Thirty-third
Street East Side subway station, then
west on Thirty-hrst Street to the
Pennsylvania Station and back to
Grand Central via Times Square
would be of immense benefit to women
shoppers. 1t would afford perhaps six
different places in the shopping dis
trict for women to board trains and
four transfer points"

Uncle Sam Is Blind
To Cider With a ssKick''
Even Instructs His Revenue
Agents to Permit Its Sale
Any Time and Everywhere

Apparently the thrill that thrilled
Broadway last week when somebody
came into town with a story about
hard cider not being affected by war
time prohibition was justified
Corroboration of the wild rumor ap-
pears to be present in memorandum
issued by the Treasury Department on
November 3, which contains instruc-
tlons to Federal prohibition officers
and others concerned" In this docu-
ment these statements are found:
Cider is not vinous liquor within
the meaning Of the act of November
II, 1918, and therefore is not subject
to the inhibition placed upon the sale
OF distilled spirits, beer, wine or other
Intoxicating malt or vinous liquors
sold Tor beverage purposes. 1t fol-
lows that cider, whether sweet or hard
may be sold without regard to the al
cohollc content in so far as the Act Of
November 21, 1918, is concerned"
Another section Of this document
states that "the manufacture or sale
OF pure apple cider by any person in
any place is permissible, whether the
same is fermented or not, provided
nothing has been added to increase the
alcoholic content" Later the warn
ing is added that after the Eighteenth
Amendment becomes law cider as well
as the rest of the joy-inspiring Juice,
will be under the ban.
But until January 16, 1920, the lid
is off for cider. Upstate cider firms
are advising their customers Of stocks
on hand containing 6 per cent alcohol.

Charity Organization
Society Needs 100000
Has $4,000 Deficit, but Will
Depend ON Voluntary Contri-
buttons to Continue Work

With deficit of $4,000 from last
years relief work, the Charity Organi-
zation Society, headed by Robert w
de Forest, is planning to raise 100000
for general and relief work the coming
year, it was announced yesterday at
the society's headquarters, 1o5 East
Twcnty-second Street. The society
will depend upon voluntary contribu-
tions instead Of a "drive" for funds,
it was decided.
The society's expenses have been
greatly increased, according to Mr. de
Forest, by the necessity Of paying bet
ter wages to relief workers and the fact
that relief now costs more, both in
terms of service and material. The
society's social work is carried on
with families and individuals through
fourteen district Offices and six central
bureaus located SO that persons in
need of help will not have far to 60.
The society's work is so arranged that
any donation for q specific purpose
is directly applied as the donor wishes.

De Valera appealed for recognitior

adopted congratulating the United
States Senate on the defeat of the
league Of nations, indorsing the Mason
bill for recognition Of the Irish re-
public and urging President Wilson
"to make good his promise-that no

is recognition. After that We can get

There were 1927 delegates, drawn
