REV, GEO, v. DAVENPORT
CONSECRATEO BISHOP
Ceremonies Held in Cathedral at
Easton, Md, Many Prelates
Taking Part.

Easton, Md, Sept. 16.-The consecra-
t,on Of the Rev. George William Daven-
port as Bishop of the Diocese of Easton
took place Yesterday IN Trinity Cathedral
here. Eight Bishops, including the Rt.
Rev. Daniel s. Tuttle, of Missouri,
the senior Bishop Of the church, took
r~rt in the solemn consecration exercises,
which was followed in the afternoon by
luncheon.
At the luncheon the new Bishop pledged
h,s support 10 the dioccssian clergy, and
while declining TO state a definite policy,
declared that he hoped TO build up the
Easton diocese TO standard equal to
the best. One OF the things that he pro-
missed was TO fll every empty parish IN
the diocese.
The conservation exercises were at
tended by notable throng of church
men. principally from the local diocese,
but representatives of many other do
cc.c~ were present. Among the prelates
Of the church who took part in the cere-
monies were Bishops Tuttle, who pre-
sided; William A. Leonard, of Ohio,
and Beverley ID. Tucker, OF Sou thern
Virginia. who were the consecrators; !;
Frederick Y. Reese, OF Georgia, who
preached the sermon: Frederick Burgess
d Long Island, and Edward G. Acheson,
of Connecticut. The presenters were
Bishop Arthur G. Thomas, cosdlutor of
southern Virginia, and the Rev. DR.. A.
r. Mansfield superintendent OF the Sea-
mems Institute in New York and deputy
registrar of the Protestant Episcopal
Church Of the United States.
Every parish of the Easton diocese
WAS represented by clergy and laity.
Many women prominent IN church life
on the Eastern Shore also were present
AT both the services and the luncheon
Mterward. The conservation guests were
entertained BY members of Trinity Cathe-
drsl and Christ Church congregation.
II was the first conservation ceremony
ever held in Easion, and therefore, aroused
considerable interest In the community.
Bishops Adams and Lay were both mis-
s,onary bishops, having been consecrated
IN other dioceses. The fact that the new
bishop spent part of his early boyhood
at Church Hill, Queen Anne's county,
where his father was rector, and took
his first charge in Baltimore, added IN
t<rest to the occasion.

"ETHERIZED" BEER.
New Connection Being Sold Here
Said to be More Dangerous
Than the Genuine Article.

Etherized beer containing less than one
half of one per cent alcohol is now being
sold In this city, and local prohibition
officers claim that this substitute is far
more dangerous than any other beer on
the market.
An Investigation of the many "drunks"
during the past few weeks has led to the
discovery that weak beer poisoned by
ether has even greater effect than beer
of to per cent alcohol, and is far more
dangerous.
The after effects of etherized beer is
similar to that of champagne, and which
is usually followed by a severe headache.
This beer is non-stimulating and the taste
of ether can easily be detected. In view
of the fact that the beer on sale in this
city has been analyzed and found to be
within the requirement Of the law, this
new situation probably will be taken up
by Pure Food Law officials.

SOVIET PLANNING TO
RAISE ARMY IN ITALY
Preparation for Recruiting Re-
ported Going on in Rome,
Milan, Turin and Naples.
By Associated Press to Every Evening

Rome, Sept. l5.-Preparations for re-
cruiting an Italian Soviet army are going
on in Milan, Turin, Rome, Naples and
other large cities throughout the country,
according to the newspaper Epoca, which
prints a statement to this effect by a
superior officer of the Italian army. II is
said that one of the leading chiefs of the
Soviet organization is Enrico Malatesta,
the anarchist chief.
Rome, Sept. 16-Premier Giolitti has
intervened in the metal workers dispute
and has invited epr sentatives of the
employers and workers to meet him at
Turin. Several delegates have already
arrived there In response to the invita-
ton.
While majority of employers strongly
resist the workmen's scheme for assist
ing in the work of management, there is
an important section which supports a
suggestion that the mems scheme be jac-
cepted on general lines, in order that the
conflict going on at present may be
ended. This element would reserve dis
cussion of details, which would be sub
mitted to a commission composed of rep
resentatives of employers and workers.
Negotiations between the two sides
in the conflict have been rendered more
difficult by the work of irresponsible agita-
tors. At Verona mob of railway men
and street car employees, headed by Signof
Scarabello, Socialist deputy, invaded the
Rossi factory, the employees Of which had
refused to occupy the works Scarabello
is declared to have given the Rossi family
one minute in which to abandon its adj
jacent home. Rossi objected, saying he
had sick son and that the physician in
attendance refused to take the re-
sponsibility in allowing him to be re-
moved
1--WE undertake the responsibility, /"
Scarabello is alleged to have declared,
and he is said to have ordered Rossi with
a revolver until the works and the house
were cleared.
