MOB VIOLENCE
IS FLAYED BY
The EPISCOPACY

Portland, Ore, Sept. 14-An attack
upon mob violence was placed before
the house of deputies of the general
convention of the Protestant Episcopal
r, Church today in a resolution offered
sfby Rev. DR.. C. B. Wilmer of Atlanta,
ga.
Though refusing to say that he
had aimed the resolution at the Ku
k1ux Khan, whose headquarters are
in his home city. DIR. Wilmer said in
bringing the matter before the con-
vention:
Amy organization based on a de-
hnitton of AmericaniSm which eX-
cludeS certain races or religions, must
develop prejudices or antaSonisms to-
ward persons of those religions or
races and must inevitably encourage
the taking of the law into ones own
hands and ultimately the use of such
an organization for purposes of pr1-
waite revenge"
The resolution asked that the
Church place itself on record as look
ing with adherence upon x x x all
forms of mob violence.
The house of bishops yesterday de-
cided to eliminate from the marriage
ceremony the words with all my
worldly goods Isthee endow.'
The bishops voted against sup
plep entail marriage service and de-
cided instead to add two optional
prayers to the regular service.

"PIERHEAD JUMPERS"
FIGHT FOR tickets
Linger at Docks for Chance
to Buy Passage to Ameri-
ca, Much in Demand.
PIERHEAD JUMPERS
BY f. A. WRAY,
International News Service Staff
correspondent.

London, Sept. lathe 'pierhead
Jumper" has become prominent
figure at both Southampton and Liv-
erpool- The great homeward rush of
American tourists has brought him
back into existence.
A jumper is a gentleman who has
been told at the shipping offices in
London that there is no accommo-
dalton in the next steamer for New
York.
Neverth eless, hoping against hope,
he goes to one of the ports and puts
in inquiries whether any passenger
has been detained by illness or urgent
business. If SO, he offers big money
for the vacant berth, and Jumps" on
board quickly before anyone can fore
stall him.
Right up to the moment of sailing
he fingers on the pier-head and some
times he hires as man as half dozen
runners to assist him.
If nothing avails then he will make
direct offer to a departing passen-
ger to sell him passage at a profit.
hut the shipping companies look upon
this ractice with a stern eye, as they
keep a waiting list, which goes by
strict priority.
Because all the transatlantic lines
are now boxed up right to the end of
this month to the extent of their ca
pacity, the great rush now is on the
Canadian lines. In consequence most
of these are now filled to their capac-
ity for the remainder of the season.

Collins Buys
Out Bernbach
Interest in Store

An important change in ownership
in one of the prominent clothing ana
haberdasheFy stores has taken place
within the last few days when Charles
J. Collins purchased the interest OF
his partner Nathan Bernbach in the
store at 81 Fairfield avenue operated
under the name of Charles j. Coz
Inns Co. and will be continued under
the same firm name in the past.
The same snappy merchandise will
be carried with the addition of several
new lines making a complete array
of those things which go to make the
correctly dressed man as Mr.. Collins
will now be free to exercise his own
Judgment exclusively in the selection
of mercha ndise.
Tomorrow evening papers will
carry a large announcement of d
gigantic dissolution sale that VIII
carry with it values that will be
revelation to the men of this city
and he advices that everyone be on
hand early for best selections.
Charlie says" 1t took all my avail
able cash to buy out Bernbach, so 1

dollars quick regardless of the sac

thing at prices that will astonish

BIRDS FLY
5000 Miles
TO MIGRATE

Washington, Sept. 14.-How far
will migratory bird travel in its fail
and spring flights? The Biolcgical
Survy has determined that they make
flights OF at least 5000 miles
An investigation has been conducted
for several years by the survey by
trapping ducks and other strong wing
ed fowl in northern sections, and
marking them with light bands bear

bers on the fowl are recorded and
from time to time, hunters bagging
some of those marked, report where
and when the bird was brought down
More than two hundred such birds
We're leosed with the bands from Lake
Screeg in Ontario, about 30 miles
north of Toronto and many reports
hive been received. So far the re-
cord flight is that of a bIue-wineed
teal, banded September "a 1920 and
killed two months and seven DAYS
on the Island of Trinidad. The
shortest possible flight the bird could
have taken to reach this point. which
is of the coast of Venezuela is 5000
miles
In tracing their routes it seemed
apparent that the maIlards and black
duck travelled together and their
course from Lake Scugog was south

TOTAL ECLIPSE OF
SUN MAY prove
EINSTEIN'S THEORY

Chicago, Ill, Sept. 14.-New tests

| relatively Will be possible with the to-
tai eclipse on September 21, which
will darken the eastern coast of At
RIGA, Australia and a number of South
Pacific islands, according to Profess
sor Edwin B. Frost of the University
of Chicago and director of the Yerkes
Observatory.
The theory requires, he said that
the rays of light from distant star
should be bent out of their straight
of attraction of a, great body like the
sun. But stars whose light passes
cloe to the rim of the blazing sun
cannot be photogra phed except on
obscures the sun.
The path of the sun, in its annual
sweep around the sky, is dotted with
many stars which would serve for the
test. but only those can be used which
nearly Craze the sun at the moment of
eclipse. Professor Eros tsaid.
Accordingly, photograph is made
OF these stars at time of the year
when the sun is in a. different part of
the sky. On such photographs. taken

measured. the distances between the

Frost.

Several parties of astronomers are
locating stations in the path of the

along this line. 1t will not be until
some months after the eclipse that
they shall know whether the meas
urements confirm the theory for this
eclipse. Many astronomers predict
the eclipse of 1922 will fail to confirm
the results of that of 1919.

SPECIAL ACT LETS
In CHURCH BELLS
Government Lifts Heavy
Duty on Carillons for
Fisher Folk.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Up in the
little fisher village of Gloucester,
Mass. is the pictureqte church of
Our Lady of Good Voyage, with it's
fishermen, for the most part of Por-
tuguese descent.
The fisher folk, many of them in
very humble circumstances, brought
with them from Portugal and the
Azores, from where most of them
came to this country, the customs and
ceremonies with which they were ia
miliar in the homes of their ancestors
Among the church institutions of their
native country were the carilIonS of
bells played by a keyboard, which
originated in the low countries in the
seventeenth century and which were
at that time installed in churches,
first of all in Flanedrs, and soon af-
forwards in Spain and Portugal
The congregation of the Church of
of Our Lady of Good Voyage want
ed carlton. There was no expert
enced maker in this country and an
thoritfes with an English firm to re-
produce carlton of twenty-five bells
with keyboard attachment similar to
one in an old Flemish church.
The order was placed after the pur-
chase price, $4,000, was raised en-
tirely by women of the church. 1t
took close to eight years of endeavor
to raise it. And then they were fac
ed with the necessity of paying a duty
am ounting to $4,000 to get the caril-
Ions into the country.
But at this point Congress stepped
into the breach. Inquiry disclosed
that special acts of Congress had re
mitted the duty attached to the bells
for the Church of st. Michael, at
Charleston, S. c., and Trinity Church,
at Philadelphia.
So a special act was passed for the
benefit of the fisher folk, also.

 The temporary injunction recently issued against President Jackson and his daughter. Miss Elizabeth Jack son. secretary and treasurer of the organization, has been dissolved. Through the order they were re- strained from acting as officers of the society. The injunction was granted on petition of three former trustees of the organization, w. F. Gilbert, W. J. Sloan and J. c. Brown. who were deposed as trustees sew eral months ago. After they had been deposed they instituted pro- ceedings to have the society dissolved as a corporation. Failing in this. they set up the plea that MT. Jack son and Miss Jackson had not been legally elected and called a meeting for April 8, at which time they named J. D. McC1eskie, president. Shortly thereafter they secured the temporary restraining order to pre- vent President Jackson and his daughter from acting as officials of the society. It was this injunction which has just been dissolved.

DEMOCRATS OFFER
 NO COMMENT ON
 HARDING MESSAGE:
Private Remarks Indicate Ad- dress Was Disappointment, With No Concrete Plan
 For Settling Strike

Washington, August 1S.-(Special) Save to applaud the platitudlnous statement that this is a nation of law and must so remain, and to agree that the butchery of citizens in Her rin, Ill, was most deplorable, demo- cratic members of Congress remained queerly silent regarding the message delivered by the President today.
 The democratic leader, Senator Underwood asked directly for a statement deemed on the ground Of the possibility that certain sections of the message might be transformed eventually into a bin and that It would be proper for him to reserve judgment pending future develop ments of such a possibility. His at titude unquestionably moved other democrats to silence. Remarks, however, made with the understand ing that they would not be pub lished, left no doupt but that the message because of lack of aggres- sive thought or language was keen disappointment. It was declared by some that as between capital and labor the President was so excel lently balanced in his criticism that both would have difficulty in de- termining his exact opinion.
 It was the general conclusion that the Presidents recommendation that a national agency. properly financed, be created for the distribution and pricing of coal, was a contribution by the Secretary of Commerce, Herb- ert Hoover. From hasty investiga- ton it was indicated that there will have to be actual rather- than imag- mary suffering before Congress will even temporarily turn private prop
