DR.. GRANT TO TEST
BAN ON DIVORCE
Militant Rector Reiterates De-
termination to Marry
Mrs. Lydig
FORBIDDEN BY CHURCH CODE

New York. Aug s.-Power to grant
dispensation to the Rev. DR.. Percy
Stickney Grant to marry Mrs. Rita
Lydig, twice divorced society leader.
In not within the province OF the Bishop
Of the diocese. and marriage in such
circumstances Is expressly forbidden by
the law Of the Episcopal Church, il was
declared yesterday by authorities on &C.
ciesiastical law.
In announcing his intention to marry
Mrs. Lydia these authorities believe
that this Churchs most noted advocate
of liberal changes In the code of his
religion is showing the courage of his
own declared convictions regarding di-
vorce, with a full knowledge that he
nay be compelled, and will be willing
II necessary, to leave the Episcopal fold
and become an independent clergyman.
While DR.. Grant said yesterday that
he would not leave the church as long
az he was Of real service within 1t. and
that he saw no reason why he should
not contiue TO be of such service in
his parish, It was pointed out that he
could perhaps make more effective
fight for his reforms through adopting
this attitude than by showing bellig-
srency.
DR.. Grant Hard Fighter
Because IF this possibility Of help
ing along his idens and because Of DIR.
Grants record for sticking to his guns
in the face of rebuffs. il is believed by
his friends that he will not resign, but
will seek to force the Church to oust
him. DR.. Grant demonstrated this lat
ter trait last winter Mt the election of
the Bishop. At that time he advocated
that the election be made on a certain
platform. and his nlan was ignored.
According to the Church authorities.
the only possible case in which the
bishop can grant a dispensation other
than TO the innocent party of divorce
for misconduct Is where the divorced
person Is not a member Of the Church
and is willing to be baptized. Then
the Bishop is permitted to exercise his
discretion as to whether the character
Of the person is such that he would be
deserving OF this consideration.
Mrs. Lydis, while formerly a Roman
Catholic. has for several years been
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1921-08-08

not be married in the Episcopal Church,
authorities say. IL she and DIR, Grant
should be married in another church,
or by civil ceremony, the union would
not be recognized. They would then
be placed In a situation which might
bring about the dismissal Of both from
the Church.
Charges against them would not have
to be brought by the Bishop himself,
but could be preferred by any COM
municant OF the diocese who felt that
canon law had been violated. II such
n charge is brought the Bishop Is bound
by his Office to consider It. and IL he
finds that II seems to have base to ap-
point court to try the case.
You say that the Bishop has not
the power to grant a dispensation in
such case?" one authority was asked.
such power does not belong to the
Bishop. except in the two eventualities
discussed, which do not occur in this
case" he answered. 1--WE would be
awfully hurt if he should take such
power to himself in case so openly
opposed to the canons Of the church.
Trouble undoubtedly would follow.
But we are simply discussing i'm.
probabilities. Bishop Manning is very
strict regarding the divorce laws. And

BUILD NEEDED
HOMES IN YEAR

PITTSBURG. Aug, 26--Two thou
sand new houses for the Pittsburg
district within the next year is the
aim Of the housing corporation of the
Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce
formed to better the acute rent and
home situation here.
Cheap money, construction at
about one-half the usual coat. and
expert supervision without charge are
leading features Of the plan. II has
so appealed to the public that scores
Of building applications have been
filed.
The movement is for civic better
ment, without profit &c the corpora
ton. Its officers are giving their
time and business experience with
out hope of financial reward. Bank.
ers. builders and material dealers
have fallen into line. The result has
been that money for construction is
available at the legal rate Of six per
cent.>and some 1000 lots have been
listed as available sites for dwellings.
The corporation has no money, nor
does 1t assume any obligations. On
the other hand IL insists that every
house be financed before work is
started, but II helps In the financing.
1t demands that each prospective
builder shall have not less than 20
per cent Of the total cost. Then II
tells him where he can get a first
mortgage for so per cent, and II
necessary 1t puts him in touch With
an institution that will take second
mortgage for the remaining 20 per
cent.
This plan Is primarily to help
those living on moderate salaries and
incomes who have been hardest hit
by the shortage OF houses and the
consequent high rents" A. W.
Thompson. president OF the corpora
tion. says.
with this In mind we have set
out to build modest. substantial aad
comfortable homes at low cost. Theoe
houses will have all the conveniences
and necessities. They viii be good
TO look upon, but they will not be
showy. and best Of all they will he
worth every cent invested in them.
I'VE are simply applying to the
man who wants a home the methods
by which mass production has been
successful. and giving him the benefit
OF the savings In costs
Applications for houses are group
ed Into blocks Of ten or more. to &c;
the benefit OF heavy buying and CON
centrated supervision.
The corporation has eleven base
plans and win build houses Of four,
five. SIX or seven rooms. at a cost
of from $3.50 to $1,000 a room. From
these basic plans a limited number
OF other designs can be evolved The
plans are regarded as the best pos
sible for this community.
Employees OF a leading newspaper
soon filled club and decided to
locate their colony In the South Hills
while a large party OF Uni
versity of Pittsburg professors took
up the question OF building on land
near the University. Neighbors liv-
ing in flats and apartments IN The
residence sections have
also approved the plan by forming
neighborhood clubs. A number of
