port his attention was drawn to the

ed shortly by a cry for help. He
ran to the gangplank and found the
woman caught under the car and
the bridge which is lowered to allow
the passengers and vehicles to get
on and off the boat. Passengers
pushed the car from the body of
Mrs. Slaight and the police ambu-
lance was called by Officer Dwyer.

argued that with good will on each

Pope Benedict could be found. At
the same time it was contended
that if the Sim Fein representa-

At Sim Fein headquarters here
the attitude of hopefulness gave
way to pessimism after the return
of Michael Collins from Dublin.
1t was pointed out on behalf of
The Sim Fein that this condition
was caused by the Dali Eireann and
that there was substituted for it a
formula for association with the
British empire. The Sim Fein is
ready to continue the conference
according to that formula.
Sir Thomas Bennett asked wheth-

played over the doors of the house
occupied by Sim Fein delegation
and whether this was not a great
provocation to the people in sth--
district. Mr.. Lloyd George rep-vt
that he had been assured the colors
were not displayed. but fthey were
quite agreed with Sir Thonas OBJ

of st. Peters church. and the Rev.
Louis Nanassy. pastor of the Hun
garian Reformed church in Kirk
land place, who was dean of the
Eastern Chassis of the Hungarian
church.

Jones of Perth Amboy, was secre-
tary of the conference.
At the conference, at which
Bishop Talbot. of Bethlehem, pre-
ided, all the details of the concor-
dat were carefully discussed and
agreed upon. There is no intention
on the part of the Episcopal church
to absorb the Hungarian church. 1t
is announced. but rather to permit
it to retain its entity as an organiza-
ton with the right TO preserve its
forms, to retain titles to all of its
property. to continue its own dean
cry. while at the same time the con-
gregations will place themselves un-
der the pastoral care of the Episco-
pal bishops in whose dioceses they
are located. and conform to such
rules and laws of the Episcopal
church as are fundamental. The
clergy will receive additional ordi-
nation at the hands of the bishops.
The Reformed Church of Hun
gary. of which the Eastern Chassis
was a branch. dates back to the time
of the Reformation.
