BISHOP H. B. PARKS
GROWING UNPOPULAR
With Church PEOPLE
Especial to The Tribune)


st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 25.--Unprece-
dented pickering and unrest and in
one instance open rebellion seems pre-
valent among the African Methodist
Episcopal churches Of this city over
which the Rev. H. Blanton Parks Of
Chicago presides-
Bishop Parks is not popular among
the members of this faith in st. Louis
and every stumbling block possible
seems to be put in his way. Several
of the smaller churches are bitterly
complaining at the excessive taxation
put on them during this Quadrennium,
while at st. James, presided over by
the talented and brilliant DR.. William
H. Peck. there seems to be two dis
tinct war-like factions; some being
strongly for the pastor who Is serving
his seventh year, some loudly out
spoken Of their condemnation of the
system that brings him back after his
legal time has expired.
st. Paul, the mother church, seems
to be seething fort Of rebellion be-
cause the bishop failed to recommis-
sion their pastor, Dr. Charles A. Will
liams. but sent him temporarily. The
entire official board has requested his
return as well as a vast majority Of
the membership, but for some reason
the bishop has failed to acceed to their
demands until this time. Some of
the mort insistent members are in
favor Of presenting a memorial to the
bench Of bishops asking the removal
of the present eccliastical head of this
district. St. Paul, we are informed.
has given the bishop until Saturday
night to meet their demands; If not,
they say the ''fur will begin to fly"
The Kansas City Sun in a current
editorial has the following to say of
the condition in Allen Chapel:
"The dissatisfied element are being
persuaded with much difficulty to still
rely upon the solemn promise of the
bishop TO set historic Allen again on
its feet by the appointment of a suit
able pastor The more conservative
declare that the bishop is sincere and
that he will keep his promise. Others
are beginning to doubt and declare
that the whole thing is a coup.
"At any rate the foment continues
to grow and serious action is liable to
be taken at any time with responsi-
bility resting upon the appointing
power Of the church.
ALLEN Chapel is a great religious
social force in the community when
II Is united, but It is weak and inef-
fective when 1t is divided and dis
cordant. The interests of the church
should naturally be placed above those
of any one man and nothing is to be
gained by dallying with a body of posi-
lively dissatisfied men and women
such as those represented in the large
group Of useful members OF the church
who can see no way out of their
present difficulties except through a
speedy change of leadership"

MEDICAL BILL
 WILL BE, VIGOROUSLY FOUGHT

The substitute for House Bill $50, which was offered in the capitol at Hart ford, Wednesday, March 9th, when 1500 dentists, c.iiropractors, nurses, optome- trists- osteopaths, and others affected, crowded the senate chamber in opposi- tion is going 10 meet with the same sort of hot opposition when it is brought up for hearing March 30th that the original bill met with. The chiropractors of this city will unite with alN other opposing practitioners of the state to fall heavily upon the bill when it is brought up for discussion, with the purpose of killing it. The expectation IS that the hearing next week will bring out an even larger mum Der than crowded to the capitol at the first hearing, which resulted in the origi- nal bill being sidetracked.
 Christian Scientists are brought under the provisions of the substitute bill as they were net undet the original bill and it is expected that they will line up r. force with the opposition. While there have been some notifications of the ori- einal bill, the changes from the point of view of the objecting practitioners by no means remove the basic objections. The substitute bill would put the obje,>>srs
 under the domination or~the medical so- ciety men. the objectors point out, and il
 is this above all that they are prepar- ! ing to fight at the hearing. They stand i for the free right of every citizen tC i choose his form of healing and expec ] the support of the people in what they i Hoint out is their fight for fair dealin. x the making and enforcing of healing laN in this state.

A Modern orae,..

The little lady who answers your tel epfTone call for information" is mod ern oracle, or at least she seems to be so regarded by some telephone users It is amazing to hear some, of the ques- tions put to her. and which she is able to answer much to the surprise of those who hear her, except the questioner of course. @ ,--.
 She is asked for information about "the family in the green house around the corner" and the distance from the Bretna to the,NPIave rivers; how to pro- nounce Hypothresosis, the most modern of mental afflictfons. and what it means and how to spell Brovecouver or Moeuvres. The wonder is not that she fails on some requests for information but that she can grant 90 many.
 Of course it is not strictly within rht work of the information operator to SUD- ply information on such matters but she does it. sometimes in addition to her pre- scribed duties as matter of public ac. commodation.
 It is obvious that the more time In formation gives to irrelevant questions the less time she has for legitimate ap peals for. aid. She should be called only when information, pertaining to >tele- phone businss is sought but is not founC in the telephone directory.
 When a telephone subscriber asks fo information to be found in thS director, the subscribers time and hi ,rmation's ! i time has been wasted and someone wh, has a real question to ask may be ken waiting.

NOT LIKELY NOW TO
 FORM SECURITIES COMMISSION

It is highly improbable that the gem eral assembly at this session will estab- fish a securities commission for the in- vestigation and licehsing of security dealers and stocks, according to Bank Commissioner Sturges, who recommended a new commission in his s$report to the governor. On the other hand it is be- lieved that the legislature wilkenact some blue sky legislation which will attempt to. curb "get-rich-quick't oil and mining schemes from being spread in thiS state.
 "The sentiment seems to be against raising any new commissions at this time" Commissioner Sturges said at Hartford adding that if the so-called blue sky legislation was adopted by the gen eral assembly the banking deparIment would have to take care of the investi- gation and licensing of securities. This is now done by the bank commissioner
 with regard to oil and mine stocks on property that is situated outside the
 state. Comm issioneT Sturgess declared
 that some form of blue sky legislation
 would probably be enacted by the legis- l lature.
 Senator John N. Brooks of Torrington
 chairman of the legislative committee or ] banks. is a firm believer in the need fol
 blue sky legislation. The legislative com mittee will consider two measures relat
 ing to blue sky legislation on Tuesday afternoon at ? o'clock One is a bill in 1 troduced by Senator Candee of Norwall and the other is g petition from the New Haven Chamber of Commerce introduced by. Representative Perry of New Haven

SEEKS MINIMUM STANDARD
 FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS

Secretary Meredith of the state board of education appeared last week before the legislative committee on education in favor of the bills which will give the state board the right to make rules for the examination of school teachers and provide that the requirements of the various towns shall not be below the minimum standard set by the board
 At present there is nothing to pre- vent a 15-year-old girl with a grammar school education from taking and pass ing the examination which will give her a teachers license, according to Secre- tary Meredith. On the other hand. he added. normal school and college grad uates are als, obliged to take these same tests, this diseouraging many pros pective teachers from acquiring an ade- quate education. when they can obtain licenses without doing so. The State Fed eration of Teachers and local. teachers organizations in many cities, favored the measure.
 There was no opposition after Sec retary Meredith said that rural abstracts unable to obtain properly qualified teach CTS. could employ instructors: holding X certificate and allowing them to teach in rural districts. He said that no one ] now a teacher will be affected by the new rules.
 A bill giving the board of education the right to examine plans for new schools and to make rules regarding | safety from fire, as well as recommenda tions on lighting and space requirements
