February to counteract reports Of o
schism In the Church.
Other facts in the church break
which lend significance to the effort to
exclude the church publications from
the reading rooms and churches over
the world, and which became available
yesterday for The Tribune, have to do
with the board of directors in increas-
ing the pay of the members from $4,000
to $4,000 year. John v. Dittemore,
while still a director, declined to vote
with the other directors when the pro-
posed increase was taken up by that
body. He accepted the increase, but
shortly after filing his suit for rein
statement, turned back the difference
between the original pay and the total
paid him under the increase during
period of about fifteen months. to the

u. S. Almost Loses Oasis

One Sussman, whose far-sighted

Sussman was held in $4,000 bail for
examination to-day on a charge of
grand larceny preferred by Aaron
Cohen, of Newark. Mr.. Cohen alleged
that he found Oasis at the Hotel Nc
Alpin and gave him $3.50 in return for
a promise of a. job as a travelling
salesman in Europe. The promise
was all he got, Mr.. Cohen said. The

rsars' experience in Washington and
certain amount of study of history

tremendous fed for improvement in
three broad and distinct particulars.
Much Work Duplicated
ri. There exists an overlapping and

II this work should be reassigned, and

% Departmental methods of admin
is.rstion should be made uniform. For
instance, no two departments have the
ssrne accounting system. In this same
ss.erory there is equal need of reform
in the method of making appropria-
tons by Congress. The appropriation

Is a fact that the administrative off,
Gals directly under them are now paid
salaries which prevent the men from
staying in the government service and
which make it impossible to obtain
good men from the outside.
Lost Efficiency the Result

Imperator Sails With
1900 Passengers
Sir Alfred Booth Praises Return
of Roads and Steel
Decision

The Cunard liner Imperator left
port yesterday for Southampton and
Cherbourg with 1900 passengers,
some of them having been shifted to
her from the disabled White Star liner
Cedric, which was to have sailed on
Saturday.
Among the saloon travellers was Sir
Alfred Booth, chairman of the Cunard
Line, Limited. He had been here twelve
days and in that time, he said, he had
seen two important events enacted
which he said reflected much credit
upon the good sense of the American
people. One of these, he said, was the
return of the railroads to private own
ership and the other was the United
States Supreme Courts decision that
the United States Steel Corporation
was not a trust in restraint of trade.
In these two events" said Sir Al.
fred. america has again given lead
to the world in the right direction.
The only alternative to the wage-capi-
tai system is road that leads straight
to slavery and starvation. The world
can be thankful that America has
given her answer in such unmistakable
terms. l am quite sufe that Britain
and France will give the same answer"
Samuel NJ. Vauclain, president of
the Baldwin Locomotive Works, who
arrived here from France a few weeks
ago. returned to Europe on the I'M
perator for trip through Poland,
Roumania and Turkey.

were: William Harris, Of the Ritz

Black Sees Social Revolt
Here in High Rent War
Brooklyn Senator Yarns of
Upheaual Unless Situation
Is Relieved Before Nav I

from StdU correspondent
ALBANY, March 8.-During debate
in the Senate tonight Senator Black,
of Brooklyn, declared that unless some
thing was done before May by the
Legislature to remedy the rent situa-
tion in New York City there would be
social revolution there such as never
was eeen before. The debate arose on
the Lockwood bill to extend from
twenty to thity days the notice that
must be given to a tenant in case Of
eviction.
Senator Downing asked why, in view
Of the serious rent situation in New
York, measure Of so little Importance
as this is the first to appear on the
calendar. He said he had no objection
to the bill, but that 1t was time that
something more definite was done. He
suggested that an agreement be reached
by which all the rent bills now before
the Legislature be threshed out at
once before the committee Of the
whole.
"This Legislature will have lived in
vain," interrupted Senator James J..
Walker, minority leader, "if it does not
do something to aid and relieve the
rent payers Of New York"
Senator J. Henry Walters, the ma
iority leader, then announced that the
Republicans had been giving the ques-
tion serious consideration, and that
within the next ten days he expected
to be able to submit program of rent
legislation that would solve the
problem
Senator Downing said that unless the
Ottinger. law two years ago was re-
pealed che solution would be reached.
He charged to this law all the evils
of the lessee system in New York City,
which is said to be the root of the
city's rent difficulties. This law pro-
yides that unless specified in written
lease filed with the County Clerk that it
is for yearly term, it will be pre-
sumed to be for a month-to-month
term. Under this law different lessecs
have ben able to buy up buildings every
month and with every turn of the
building increase the rent.

Sealed Verdict To-day in $780,
600 Action Against Phys;cian

Miss Kathleen McGrath, a nurse, will
learn this morning whether she is to
recover any part of the $4,000 for
which she sued DR.. Henry p. Hirsch,
supervising inspector of the Board of
Health, on a charge of libel. The jury
that heard the case yesterday before
Justice McCook was ordered to hand in
a sealed verdict.
Miss McGrath, formerly employed by
the Bureau of Child Hygiene, com
planned that DR.. Hirsch wrote about
her that "she threatened, if the clinic
was established, that she would pur
posely leave the drug cabinet unlocked
SO that some child might abstract some,
thing and poison himself" She denied
making such a statement, and alleged
that her standing as nurse had been
damaged to the extent Of $4,000. She
was also tried on charges by the Board
of Health and dismissed from the citv,s
service, for which she demanded
$25,OOO '''oou
