T0UNF ROCK.
n. Y. PASTOR.
Church Leaders Threaten to
Appoint Board of Inquiry If
Rector Weds.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The Rev.
DR.. Percy Sticlney Grant announces
he will marry Mrs. Philip M. Lydig,
In the face Of a warning from
Bishop Manning that such marriage
would violate the canons of the
Episcopal Church.
Pastor to Defy Bishop.
1t became known today that
this warning had been given and the
rector made it known after receiv-
ing the warning that he intended
going ahead with his program.
1t also was said that the marriage
may cost DR.. Grant his position in
the church. Broad limitations are
made that charges will be laid before
Bishop Manning looking to the I'M
frocking of DIR. Grant If he marries
the twice-divorced society leader.
May Appoint Inquiry Board.
OF his own initiative DIR. Manning
can go little farther than he has done
In issuing the warning, but II church
leaders, as forecast. lay charges Of
violations Of the canons before him.
the bishop would appoint a board Of
inquiry and its recommendations
would be followed.
Because of the notoriety that the
case has gained, it is certain that Of
ficial action will be taken by the
church as soon as the wedding takes
place, especially since Bishop Man
ning's views on the remarriage Of di-
vorced persons are strong ones. Even
were the Bishop inclined to be lenient.
he could not. The canons governing
such case as that of DIR. Grant are
explicit.
The Grant-Lydig case is covered by
section II. canon IS, of the Episcopal
Church. under the title of Marriage
and Divorce"
What the Canons Say.
mo minister" 1t declares. know
ingly and after due inquiry, shall SOL
emnize the marriage Of any person
who has a divorced wife or husband
still living IL such husband or wife has
been put away for any cause arising
after marriage, but this canon shall
not be held to apply to the innocent
party in a divorce for the cause of
adultery"
The canon goes on to forbid bap-
t.sm, confirmation, or even admins
tration of the sacrament of holy COM
munion to a person who has been mar
ried otherwise than as the word of
God and the discipline Of this church
allow"
The rules further decree that in
cases of violation of the canon, the ac-
cused one shall be taken before his
bishop for trial. The bishop shall
make an inquiry, and. IL the defend
ant is found guilty, shall "admonish,
suspend, or depose" him, as the ma
ture OF the case may require.
Mrs. Ludwig's first divorce, which
was from w. L. d. Stokes, was OBJ
tanned on statutory grounds, which
the Episcopal Church recognizes as
valid. Her second, however. from
Philip NJ. Ludwig, was a, Paris decree
granted upon the grounds Of incom-
patibility. ''
DIR. Grant Silent.
DR.. Grant. about whose head the
church storm is fast lowering, locked
himself up in his home at Z West
Tenth street today. All callers were
required TO state their business at the
door, and communication with the
rector was by message only. This
also applied to telephone calls, DIR.
Grant refusing to say even so much
as Hello" over the wire. Mrs. Lud-
wig was said to be away somewhere

DC. SCHOOL FUND
LEFT OUT OF BILL
Appropriation Measure Fails
To Include Building
Estimate.

The second deficiency APPROPRIATION
bill reported to the House yesterday
by the Appropriations Committee did
not include the 100000 emergency
school building fund requested By
District school officials and the Dis
trict Commissioners.
There were two reasons why IL
was left out, Chairman Good Of the
COMMITTEES explained last night. The
first was that the District Com.
missioners did not submit the esti-
macs until after the committee had
concluded its work on District
items, and the second, that the COM
mittee felt the Senate should be
given an opportunity to restore
some of the items 1t knocked out
of the District appropriation bill
last session. &
Personally" Good said, 81 think
We must do more for the schools In
the District. The temporary build
manent, and they should be replaced
with more substantial structures as
soon as conditions permit"
