PRIEST OF AFRICAN
JUNGlEs IS MADE
EPISCOPAL BISHOP

NEW YORK CITY, July 9.AFifty
years ago T. Momolu Gardiner was
a wild Mohammedan, member of
the Val tribe in the Liberian jungles
-unlettered uncivilized, crude and to
our standards, rude. Last week he
was consecrated sufragan bishop Of
Liberia by Bishop Overs, white, of the
Protestant Episcopal Church at the
Church OF the Incarnation Madison
avenue and 35th street. Fifty priests
and bishops with other high digni-
tares OF the church took part in the
professional.
Bishop Gardiner is product OF the
African junges and never saw a train,
street car or motor until he started
for New York to be consecrated.
Altho he started out as savage, to-
day he is a cultured gentleman and a
scholar as we'll as a priest He
speaks English perfectly, altho he has
not forgotten his native dialect and
he is proficient in Latin and Greek
In referring to the new Bishops
field Bishop Overs said in his charge,
You are member of the Vey
tribe, one OF the most promising
tribes in Liberia But it is the only
tribe in the Republic that is in
huenced by Northumberland. Your
name is Momolu, which means in
English, Mohammed, Your father,
Mohammedan priest gave you that
name, but he also sent you to Chris
tan school-St. Johns. Cape Mount,
to learn letters. You learned to be
Christian. Gradually you have come
TO the position you now hold What
a responsibility is yours. You must
claim your tribe for Christ
Just before came from Monrovia,
last month, one OF your chiefs. a Mo

place where the mosque stoodr 1t is

licularly represent these people. Your
task is tremendous. but the oppor-
iunity is magnificent"
DR.. Gardiner held his first service
after his conservation Sunday at St.

Communion and preached the ser

What lawyers described yesterday
as an unprecedented species of liti-
cation was begun when the seven JUS
tees of the Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court in the First Depart
ment were served with a summons
and complaint in an action instituted
against them by Justice John Ford Of
the Supreme Court.
Justice Ford brings suit both as an
individual and as a Justice of the
Supreme Court to restrain the Justices
of the Appellate Division from con-
tinuing to use their discretion in max
ing assignments of Justices for the
various Special. Trial and Appellate
terms of the Supreme Court Ia this
department.
That there may be no question of
jurisdiction in the event of an appeal,
which will certainly be taken, JUS
tee Ford has begun his action in the
Supreme Court in Kings county. An
appeal there. whether taken by the
plaintiff or the defendants, will come
before the Appellate Division in the
Second Department so that the de-
fendant Justices will not be called upon
TO determine an appeal in lawsuit
involving themselves.

graduating class and beaten the
brightest boy that ever attended st.
Augustin's Academy. a girls outlook
on life is apt to be serious and aca-
demic.
That's the reason. perhaps, why Miss
Mary Camper McGinnis. who has
scored eighteen points above anyone
graduated from the academy, and who
is considered the prize pupil for brains
and beauty. has decided that when she
has learned about everything there is
to know she will begin teaching Eng
lish to high school pupils.
Nothing. declared Mary, with a shake
of her glossy light brown curls and
a determined look in her thickly fringed
blue eyes, could be more truly graft

language.

COMET WILL BE VISIBLE
ABOUT MIDDLE OF MONTH
According to Astronomers, II Will Be

OhV
Two comets, Reid's and Pons-Win-

eye In May and June according to a

Astronomers are following two
comets with great deal of interest,
because both are nearing the earth.

not far from the North Star and may
be found by following the pointers of
the Big Dipper towards the North

tail, but may be seen with a good pair
of opera glasses.

covered in 1858 and having a period
of five years and eight months. has
returned frequently. but unfortunate
