DIES ON GOLF COURSE
Was Pastor at Washington for 80
Years and Well-Known in
Wilmington.

Washington, July I6. = The Rev.
Dr. Randolph II. Mckin, pastor of the
Church Of the Epiphany, here for thirty
two years, and one of the best known
Episcopal clergymen in the United States,
died suddenly yesterday at Bedford
Springs, Pa, while playing golf. He was
stricken with apoplexy.
Dr. Mckim was born In Baltimore,
April Is, 1912. He was a graduate Of
Washington and Lee University and
George Washington University. He had
been pastor of the Church Of the Epiphany
for thirty-one years, coming here lnlSS9.
In 1897 he was elected dean of the
Theological Seminary and president of
the House of Deputies in 1904, 1907 and
1910. He served in the Confederate army
from 1861 to 1865.
DR.. Mckim was the author of many
books on religious subjects and several
pamphlets on marriage and divorce. He
was a member of he District of Column
bia Sons of the Revolution, the Society
OF Colonial Wars and the Cosmos and
Chevy Chase Clubs.
Recently DR.. McKim had been inter-
ested In the healing movement. He was
the first local clergyman to conduct q

Quoted by DR.. McKim was so successful
that the bishop of Washington appointed
a special diocesan committee to direct
the Christian healing work of the Epis-

consequence became a diocesan instead
of parish matter.
DR. McKim was well-known in VIII

ORDINANCE To TAX

Introduced in City Council at Last
Nights Meeting, Rates

An ordinance in blank, imposing spe--

license already in force, passed its second
reading at the Council meeting last even

MILFORD COUNCIL
Continued from page !

President Murphy was one who voted
against the motion. His sright to vote WAS
questioned, however, but rs he claims
that he has right to vote on matters
coming before Council, he walked out
of the meeting. One councilman, Harry
Windsor, was not at the meeting. Supse-
uuently, when Baker was informed OF
what had happened, he rendered his
resignation to CAPTAIN Murphy, accord
ing TO statement made by the latter
today.
TO QUIT AT ONCE.
II had been reported that these rcsig-
nations of couneilmen would not take
effect until after certain new public work
now in hand had been completed, but
Murphy said today he was not going. TO
wait for that. II am going to call q
special meeting for next Monday night,
he said, "for the express purpose OF re-
signing my office at t at time. 1t is
thought likely that Benson and Pierce
will resign at the same time. What the
other Councinen will do is not known.
Captain Murphy said today that he
could not agree with those who thought
a day policeman was not necessary, IN
view of the fact that there are frequent
infractions of the automobile and other
laws which are more in evidence during
the day than at night. He said, however,
that the result will probably be deter
mined by the action of the remaining
councilmen.
1t has been suspected for some time
that something of this sort was going to
happen, but it was hoped that 1T could
be STAYED off at least until some con-
templated public improvements had been
completed. Recently the town negotiated
loan for $4,000 from the local banks, as
result of a popular vote, to pro,vide
improvements to the water and hight
plant, the chief purpose being to permit
of the supplying of electricity during the
day time, as we'll as at night, for manu-
featuring purposes. 1t had been hoped
that the town government would go on
uninterrupted until these improvements
could be completed. In order to pay of
$500 of the floating debt, and also to
take care of the loan, the taxes have
been temporarily increased from 20
cents to SIPS per Sl00 of assessment.
BREACH MAY BENEFIT THE TOWN.
Colonel Theodore Townsend, who was
spoken to In regard to the whole matter
today, regretted the latest occurrence
very much: that is the differences IN
Council and the designations, while he Is
in sympathy with the town Improvements
and thinks they will go through regard
less of the Councilmanic row. ''The
break in Council" Colonel Townsend
said, will probably be beneficial to Mil
ford in the long run"
The thought now is to make deter
mined effort to have the next Legislature
provide new charter for Milford, which
would give it a commission form OF
government, with no more than three
commissioners. The idea would be to put
it up to the chief commissioner to give
the town business administration.
believe the people realize now that this
is what Milford needs, and there ought
to be no difficulty in convincing the
Legislature of that fact when it meets in
Dover next winter"

Williamson, w. Va, July 3O.---An in
dustrial conflict il being waged betwcen
mine operators and leaders of tho United
Mine Workers, over tho question whether
all the biturninous coal minors in West
Virginia shall bc organized A union men.
The miners leaders also demand that
the scale Of pay now in usc in tho Kan
awha field bc adopted in the Mingo
county bituminous field hero.
Charles +. Rooney, President of dis-
trict number IL of the United Minc Work
crs, who is in command Of the union forces',
explains the situation hcre by saying.
There ARC approximately So, 600 organ
lied miners in Wcrt Virginia and $4,000
who have not yet bccn organised. These
unorganized mon arc mostly in the coun-
tics Of Mingo, Mcdowell, Logan, Raleigh,
Mercer and Wayne, all in the southern
part of the State The campaign to organ
ize these miners is well under way and we
expect to have it completed before tho
snow flies.
"'rhe men and tho operators could get
together and settle this thing if it were not
for the mine guards. They are depriving
the men of their constitutional rights and
that brings about trouble. Why, 1'under-
stand the sheriff Of Pike county has
deputizcd some 300 men and the coal com
panics are paying them, while detectives
are on the border between Mingo and
Mcdowell counties with rifles and ma
chime guns.
What would happen il an attempt
were made to operate the mines hcrc with
non-inion men7 | wouldn't like TO say.
But in their present temper, these men are
not to be fooled with. Right now this
situation is q powder mill. The men have
no complaint when tho law is enforced by
the proper authorities But they will OPP
pose to the last, the use Of private armies,
enlisted by the coal companies
Harry Olmstead, Of the Coal Operators'
Association of Williamson, gave the other
side of the controversy.
