FEELS LOSS OVER

The New York Tribune today con-
tains the following letter, written by
the Rev. Hiram r. Bennett. OF Asbury
Park, n. J.. regarding the resignation
OF Bishop Frederick ]. Kinsman Of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese OF Della
ware:
I'VE OF the clergy, especially, feel a
deep sense OF loss in Bishop kinsman
leaving us, and we feel also that the
Bishop in leaving the church will like
wise later feel a great loss.
'The difficulties which the Bishop
enumerates are real and serious, but
they are not new. Every priest Of the
Episcopal Church has been facing them
ever since his seminary days. DR.. Kins-
man apparently thinks that because
many Of our official teachers hold low
ideas Of the faith and sacrsments and
holy orders the authority OF the church
herself teaching real and definite doc
trines) is vitiated. One would moi
think the Constitution OF the United
States was Of no effect, even II a SEN
ator or a group of high government Of
flcials taught Bolshevism.
This issue is analogous. The au-
thoritative teaching Of the Episcopal
Church concerning the faith and sac

and definite as that OF any other Cain

PLEADS FOR SANITY
IN AIR NAVIGATION
Public Must Not Expect
Too Much of Planes,
Wright Says
SAYS RAILROADS
NEEDN'T WORRY

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. S-A plea for
sanity In aviation and prediction that
the alrplane viii never supplaat the
train and ship as a carrier Of heavy
freight Is being made throughout The
country by Arvile Wright who, with
his brother, Wilbur SO years ago star
lied the world with the first successful
flight Of a heavier-;han-air machine,
Orville has no faith In the spectacu-
lar prophecies OF Che future Of evia-
ton. lie does not believe the horizon
Will ever be llled with privately Owned
planes dashing about at hundreds Of
miles an hour, He does not think mon
ster planes will carry heavy corsoos
at express speed.
While The war advanced aviation at
least 10 years, much more progress
must be made before air craft takes It's
place beside the big utilities, he de-
olared.
"Alr service Is a thing that should
not be rushed" said tho inventor,
"Every effort should be made 10 Vlim-
mate the spectacular and develop avia-
ton along conservative lines,
zone Of the big things wanted right
now Is a motor OF type that VIII Ia
ollltato landings. Tho hlEh-spocd en-
gines are desirable for flying, but a
slower speed engine Is a necessity FOR
getting safely back 10 earth, Every
city should provide landing plaees,"
Wright doesn't expect to SEQ tho sun
day outings OF the next generation made
IN speedy planes. He thinks Pa Will
take The kids out IN sort Of air 1ivVor
making a safe number Of miles per
hour and giving him a chance 20 make
a safe landing on a comparatively small

'The airplsne will take over the
work Of the parcels post and railway

who Is touring the West with a num-
Der OF aviation officers IN the interest
Of the development OF the air service.

NEW STOCK PLAN OF
COLUMBIA GRAPH: co

Stockholders Of the Columbia Grapho-
phone Manufacturing Company. which
Is controlled by wllmingtonisns and
their friends, were notified today OF
readjustment proposed 10 be made In
the par value OF the common stock OF
that corporation, by the Issuance OF
new stock OF no par value, exchange
able for the present stock. The letter
10 stockholders In part says:
"The object Of the plan Is 70 effect an
exchange OF the company's common
stock so that each share will represent
a more convenient unit valuation OF the
Interest Of several common stockholders
In the company, This object VIII be
accomplished through an exchange or
the outstanding common stock FOR
common stock 20 be issued under the
certificate Of incorporation, amended as
provided below, at the rate OF one share
OF outstanding common stock for ten
shares OF common stock 70 be so issued
The proposed plan. when carried out
viii accomplish In respect OF the shares
OF common stock Of the company what
/ In the case Of a corporation having only
shares with par value. would amount
20 q reduction IN the par value OF such
shares without any corresponding re-
duction in the aggregate par value OF
the authorized or outstanding capital
stock.
The proposed plan for the exchange
OF the common stock Of Columbia
Graphophone Manufacturing Company
Is as follows:
"The certificate OF incorporation is 10
be amended so that;
"(a) the company will be authorized
10 issue 100000 shares OF common
stock without any nominal or par value.
"Cb) holders OF common stock shall
be entitled TO only one vote for each ten
shares Of common stock held"
The plan provides for the exchange
10 be made on and after September 2
at the Offices Of the Franklin Trust
Company, New York. Transfers OF the
present common stock will not be
made after September 2. The capital
stock under the plan VIII remain the
same.
"The company has recently received
a written opinion from the Commis-
sioner OF Internal Revenue that the
exchange OF the company's common
stock. pursuant 20 the plan. gives rise
TO no taxable income" says the letter
"The rights and preferences OF the
preferred stock OF the company are not
affected by the proposed exchange OF
the company's common stock. As
promptly as may he after the consum-'
nation Of the plan, application Will be
made 10 the New York Stock Exchange
for the listing OF the preferred and COM
mon stock Of the company"
Under the new plan IL is expected the
shares OF no par value VIII enjoy
substantial advance in market price.
The price OF the present common stock
today was S425 bid On this basis the
new shares would be worth at least
$40 each. This splitting up OF the
shares will stimulate buying OF the
stock. Il is believed. The company has
been paying dividends at the rate OF $40
cash and 90 per cent. IN stock annually
on the present common stock.
