LONE CURATE IN CHARGE

The Church Of the TRANSPORTATION.
known as the Little Church Around the
Corner. In Twenty-ninth street, which
throughout Its half century OF exist
ence has been presided over by George
Hcndrick Houghton. it's founder, and his
present rector. may have a new rector
next year as a result OF dissension in the
vestry. DR.. Houghton, who has been un-
able during the last year TO take active
charge of church affairs. probably would
become rector emeritus.
This is regarded by church members
as the probable outcome of the resigna-
ton of two vestrymen and two curates
and DR.. Houghton's departure for Flor
ida last Sunday. The church at his re-.
quest is left in charge Of Bishop Thomas
F. Gailor, president Of the counsel of
the Episcopal Church. under whom is
the Rev. DR.. Clarence Or1nan Hicks, the
only remaining curate Of Dr. Houghtons
staff of three.
Mr.. Hicks was busy yesterday marry
ing one of the many thousand couples
who have found the Little Church
Gretna Green since fifty years ago when
Joseph Jefferson. seeking the services
Of a clergyman to read a funeral service
over a brother actor, was directed to the
little church around the corner" by the
rector of great church nearby in Fifth
avenue.
Mr.. Hicks said he knew nothing about
the troubles OF the vestry. The two
curates. the Rev. DR.. William Whiting
Davis and the Rev. DR.. Earn c. Cleve-
land. have left as reported. Mr.. Cleve-
land going to st. Lukes Mr.. Hicks
said the report that the Rev. DR.. Dwight
Cameron. formerly Of New York, but
now at Admission, Ala. had been called

William c. Dickey. former vestryman,
said the disagreement at the vestry
meeting on December was entirely on
the selection of new vestry members.
Lyman Rhodes. vice-president of the
Equitable Trust Company, who sue
ceeded Mr.. Dickey as vestry clerk. as
serted no changes were desired in the
ritual.
Members of the parish were concerned
for DR.. Houghton. who last May cele-
brated the nftieth anniversary of his
ordination into the priesthood of the
Church of England and his continuous
service in the Little Church since 1897.
DR.. Houghton was born in New York
and was graduated from st. Stephens's
College in 1857. He was ordained a dea-
con In 1870 and a year later advanced to
the priesthood by Bishop Potter at st.
Marks-in-the-Bouw After serving
as curate OF Trinity Church in this city
and as rector OF Trinity Church. Hobo
ken, he assumed his present pastorate.
DR.. Houghton was less active last year
than ever before. His daughter and only
child, Mrs. Mary Gertrude Strombom.
who accompanied him to Florida. said
not long ago that her fathers health
was improving. and she hoped he might
soon resume his active direction Of par
ish affairs
Although neither DR.. Houghton nor
his uncle. the first rector. encouraged
runaway marriages or elopements 1t is
said that more than $500 marriages
have been solemnized there In the pres
ent rector's incumbency.

INTERBOROUCH READY
TO MAKE PAYMENTS
Hopes to Meet Obligations
Falling Due January I.

I'VE hope to round the turn OF the
year without serious difficulties" Frank
Hedley. president of the Interborough
Rapid Transit Company, said yesterday
when asked what position the company
would be in to meet obligations falling
due on January !.
In declining to make an official state
ment of the earnings and financial posi-
ton of the road Mr.. Hedley said there
were too many uncertainties ahead to
warrant announcement of any Kind at
this time. Among these uncertainties he
mentioned the hearing Of the bankruptcy
petition, which comes up again on Janu-
airy 20 and will probably be argued on
January 30.
Banking interests close to the Inter
borough have voiced the opinion that
the recent earnings of the company have
been sufficient to enable II to make the
semi-annuai interest payment of slightly
less than $4,000 900 on the first and re-
funding s per cent. bonds. Barring cur
rent bills for materials and supplies this
ia the only sizable obligation of the COM
pany falling due at the first or the year.

State Regents Said to FaUor

Application Of DR.. Adolf Lorenz for a
license to practice In this State will be
passed on by the State Board Of Regents
a. meeting set to begin at o'clock
this morning in the offices of the Bar
Association, AZ West Forty-fourth street.
Three weeks ago DR.. Lorenz stopped
performing operations upon crippled
children when the State Board of Edu-
cation called his attention to the fact he
did not have a license. An attempt was
made to obtain a temporary license
through DR.. Augustus s. Downing. Dep
uty Commissioner of Education, but he
safd he had no power and that under the
lew nothing could be done until the regu-
lar meeting Of the Board of Regents.
DR.. Downing declined to discuss the
matter yesterday.
While none of the members of the
Board Of Regents who could be reached
last night was willing to express an
opinion on what would be done with DR..
Lorenz's application. there Is reason to
believe it will be acted on favorably
and without delay. On the board are
James Byrne. Charles B. Alexander
Chester S. Lord. and Adelbert Moot.
