In a recent issue of the Cotton

Says Bad Liquor Makes
More Maniacs Than War
Tombs Physician Testifies to
Alarming Gain in Insanity
Before Lunacy Board

DR.. Perry M. Lichtenstein, resident
physician at the Tombs, yesterday
said that alcohol was causing more
insanity since prohibition went into
effect than was caused by shellshock
and Of. influences during the war.
DR.. Iichtenstein testified to this be
fore a commission in lunacy sitting to
determine whether or not Philip
Murtha. twenty eight of Sal West
141st Street, charged with assault, is
insane. He testified tina. Murtha was
an alcoholic and that he was suffer

Later the physician told newspaper

been steady drinkers are unable to give

Pastor Quits When Flock
Finds Fault With Clothes
Special D,spatch To The Tribune

WORCESTER, Mass, July 25.--The
Rev Edward A, MacPhee, pastor of the
GAINESVILLE Baptist Church. has resigned
following request from some mem
bers of his congregation who found
fault because the pastor wore home
spun clothes in has pulpit instead of
TIE conventional long black coat. The
pastor says the complaint about the
coat is an excuse.
The resignation of the pastor has
split the congregation and there is a
movement on the part of his supporters
to have tent erected not far from the
church, where services will be held
each Sunday. The pastor frowns on
the movement and says he will not per-
nit it.
Mr.. MacPhee is not without a long
coat, he says, and he has no objec-
tion to wearing one. He says he did
wear one on Sundays when there was
communion service. He said if he
had known his clothes were causing
dissatisfaction he would have worn a
frock coat each Sunday but no such
hint reached him.

Sentimental Aspect of the
Question No LongerExists
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The sooner
the better, is the Administration watch
word in the negotiations with regard to
the conference on armament limitation
and Pacific and Far Eastern questions.
Every ounce of influence and pressure
which the Administration can bring to
bear on the other powers is being
brought into play with view to fixing
the date as early as possible
The desire now is to hold the confer
ence so soon that the Premiers of New
Zealand and Australia, still in London.
where they attended the meeting of
Premiers of British Dominions, may
attend the sessions in Washington.
stopping off en- route home.
This is to reach their objection origi-
nally made to an early date. They
wished to have the conference held
next spring, so that they could make
trip home and return in time for it.
This did not suit President Harding or
Secretary Hughes at all. So they re-
vised their own ideas as to the date
and are now proposing that it be held
little earlier than they originally
planned.
The premiers Of Australia and New
Zealand and also Premier Meighen of
Canada will not have a vote in the con-
ference, but will have to make their
expression through the British repre-
entative, for the rule will be observed
that the British Empire can have only
one vote.
Presence Is Desired
There is the keenest desire on the
part Of the Administration that the
Dominion Premiers should be present
and were it not for other complca-
tions--notab that Japan might object
to going into q conference in which
she knew in advance that so many off
cial members were agreed on convic-
tions which she considers opposed to
her interests-this government would
be glad to give them votes.
AS it is, the Harding Administration
is eager to have them present, not only
because they would sympathize with
the ideas and desires of this govern
ment with regard to the various Pacific
and Far Eastern questions which would
be discussed, but because they would
constitute constant pressure on the
British representative along these
lines.
