Nearly five thousand worshippers at
tended an impressive joint service of the
Episcopal and Eastern Orthodox
churches, held in the Cathedral of ST.
John the Divine yesterday afternoon.

women and children of Russia.
The Very Rev. Howard c. Robbins,
D. D.. dean of the cathedral, briefly
told of the authorization for the service
and asked that the people pray for a
healing grace that VIII promote unity
in the churches. He told of the interest
Bishop Charles Sumner Burch. who died
on December 20. had taken in the pre-
limirary arrangements for this service,
adding that it was Bishop Burch's de-
sire for n unity of the several churches
whose beliefs are the same.
The Right Rev. James II. Darlington,
Bishop of Harrisburg, made an address
in which he said that the reason for the
service was TO show that the members
OF the various churches are anxious to
pray for unity and anxious to extend
help and aid 70 one another, Bishop
Darlington introduced the various
| speakers.

PARK SPOONING is SET
BACK BY CRIME WAVE
Concrete Benches Under Arc
Lights Is Last Sad Blo,U.

Spooning, one use to which Central
Park is put in all seasons. has been seri-
ously hampered by the crime wave,
which led to the police order against
lettering in the park and even entering
it after dark.
Young sweethearts were forced out to
the parks rim and had to confine them
selves TO the Fifth avenue benches,
which with their light iron frames. could
be moved back to the wall anc out of
the glare of the arc lights.
1t was noted yesterday. however. that
even this privilege has been taken away.
The movable benches have disappeared
and have been replaced by stationary
benches of concrete, with concrete
backs.
Each bench has been set down almost
directly under an arc light, and those
who would use them sit in full view of
every passerby Most of the benches
were deserted last night.

SUSPECTS DESK RAIDED

A shortage running into thousands of
dollars has been discovered In the ac-
counts of the city Finance Department,
and Comptroller Charles L. Craig will
swear out warrant to-day for the ar
rest of one of his employees, charging
him with responsibility for the missing
funds. it was learned yesterday. Mr..
Craig would not disclose the Identity OF
the suspected employee. he said, until
after he has been arrested.
The Comptroller said that the same
person had been confronted with a short
age in the Finance Department once be-
fore in the recent past, but that charges
were not pressed when immediate resti-
tuition was made The Comptroller now
has reason to believe that the new short
age was occasioned by the removal OF
funds to make good the former shortage.
The removal of papers by the sus-
pected man from his desk last week is
said to have strengthened the suspicious
that were directed toward him, and on
Saturday. at the direction of the Comp
troller, the mans desk was broken open
and its contents raided. What the raid
disclosed. Mr.. Craig would not reveal.
The Comptroller. in fact. was reluctant
10 discuss the case In any detail until
after an arrest has made made He
made it clear, however. that the present
shortage Is in no way connected with the
last shortage in the Finance Department.
In which certain city funds disappeared
in the Borough of Queens in connection
with which the Comptroller suspended
William G. Hecht, receiver of taxes.
Mr.. Hecht denied any responsibility for
the disappearance of the money in Queens.
Mr.. Craig stated that the person under
suspicion in the present case still Is con-
nected with the Finance Department, no
formal charge having been brought
against him yet. Mr. Hecht resigned
ten days ago.
The Comptroller said Investigations to
show the amount of the shortage have
not yet been completed. It was reported
that the figure would reach $4,000, but
the Comptroller said he did not think II
would run as high as that. He would
not reveal whether the suspect is n
minor employee or a man of high posi-
tion in the department
The Comptroller was aggrieved that
any inlSling of the affair had leaked from
the department before an arrest had
been made, and stated last night that If
as a result of the "leak' the man escaped
he would send TO Sing Sing the person
giving the information IL he could

An Amusement City.
We found Seville one of the most
interesting cities in our travels in
Spain. Everywhere we went we were
told it was SPANS finest city and all
Spaniards seem to be amused. In

grow everywhere. They are ripe
now and of course we enioyed them
Immensely. The other big industries
are olive trees, cork trees, and YOU
see many bull farms from the train
windows. The country in Andalusia
is more fertile than the rest of Spain.
Most of the country has no trees at
all on account of the lack of rain.
There are number of mountain
chains around about.
The amusement places are some
thing like New York cabaret. There
was one very near our hotel that we
went to several times, called the
Kensaal. In the aftesnoon at G
O'Clock there is a tea dance. You 20
