Episcopalians Split Over Faith Healing
Convention at Portland Ore, Thresh Out Whether
1t Should Have Church Sanction.

PORTLAND. Ore, Sept. Faith heal.
ing promises to come up for warm debate
at the triennial convention OF the Ep!s-
copal Church Of North America, which
will open wednesday, morning at 10
o'clock following a week of conference,
and preliminary work by the House OF
Bishops Practice Of the type carried
forward by the Rev. James Moore Hick-

committee will present report To
the convention on the question In the
main this report will indorse the work
Mr.. Hickson. The committee, headed by
Bishop Boyd Vincent of Ohio, declares
there Is no similarity between the work
of Mr.. Hickson and Christian Science.
An excerpt from a Churchman'S editorial
reads:
The damage which may be done by n
ministry of healing In incompetent hands
is considerable. Not a little damage has
already been done. IL is cruel promise
to make to sick and suffering folk that
they may be healed of any sickness by
faith.
Mannfuor naf~mI-
Better far to lose thousands OF COM
municants to Mrs. Eddy's church than
assume the liability of Mrs. Eddy's med
ical and religious heresies. The Epis4
copal can afford to wait for fuller
knowledge of psychotherapy, the new
physiology, new medicine. but 1t cannot
afford to indorse medical and religious
auackery. IT must not, by iii considered
and premature action, as regards the
ministry of healing, place itself in igno-
rant hostility to medical Science"
The Right Rev. William T. Manning,
Bishop OF New York, commenting on the
foregoing. declared:
THAT editorial merely expresses the
individual opinion of the writer. The
healing work performed by the Rev. Mr.
Hickson Is based entirely on the first
principles of the Christian religion. To
question the efficiency Of such healing
is to question the efficiency of prayer.
1t is beyond me to see how any Christian
who believes in faith and prayer can
question healing of this sort
Bishop Manning acknowledged that he
gave his Endorsement to faith healing as
practiced by the Rev Mr.. Hicksoi with
out qualification or reserve on account
of what he had seen the healer do
His work is not to be confused with
psychotherapy or mental healing" ex-
planned Bishop Manning. "The prin-
ciple OF mental therapeutics is the
power OF mind over matter. The spirit

Washington Balloon Record.
Weather Department Wind Telltalc
Rises 1880 Meters.

From the United states Department of
Agriculture Bulletin.
A record height for the Washington
district was reached recently by the
balloon sent up by the Weather Bureau
In connection with its observations Of
upper air conditions. The balloon was
seen to burst at 22,5sO meters. a height
of about thirteen miles, after being
watched 12s minutes.
At s A. NJ. and at Q r. M. daily, pro-
vided there is no rain. the aeroloeical
service of the Weather Bureau releases
from the roof Of the Weather Bureau
building a balloon filled with hydrogen
gas. The object is to get the direction
and velocity of wind movements at vari-
Gus elevations as far as the balloon can
be observed. These balloons are about
2h feet i'm diameter when inflated and
are made of the finest quality uncolored
rubber. The watching Is done through
a theodolitc and the time is kept by
a clock which sounds an alarm every
minute. The distance the balloon trav-
els is calculated from known computa-
tions Of how high q balloon of given
weight will rise In minute.
The information obtained is useful to
those interested in flying, and when re-
corded on charts showing conditions at
various elevations for each OF the fifteen
stations of the Weather Bureau scattered
over the United States which make
these particular observations it is an aid
In the daily task of weather forecasting.
An unusual point in connection with this
the fact that. although the general drift
of winds in the Washington district is
from west to east, the prevailing winds
on this day were from the east and
northeast.

When GEORGE b. WAGNER. an cleo
trician employed by the New York
Central Railroad. used his wit and
knowledge and presence OF mind to
save his life by throwing himself on a
dry concrete floor and thus breaking
an electric circuit carrying $4,000
volts which threatened to kill him. he
gave an example Of resourcefulness
which testified at once to his mental
alertness and his physical strength.
Instead of being mortally burned he
was only slightly hurt and will soon
be back at work. In him the instinct
of self-preservation and the capacity
TO care for himself In desperate
emergency are happily blended.

Hark From the Tomb!

Old Article X, remembered per-
haps by some of the readers of THE
NEW YORK HERALD, energies to-day
from the limbo at Geneva. The third
assembly of the League of Nations is
in session this week.
The ghostly revival of Article X. is
expected to take form in an attempt
by well meaning publicists to modify
that part of the covenant in such
manner that the United States Gov
ernment will no longer decline to
participate officially in these formal
and academic discussions at Geneva
which have become almost as in
teresting in their bearing. on world
affairs as the annual conferences at
Williamstown, Massachusetts.
In honor Of the meeting at Geneva
President WILSON'S Article X, which
was the cause of the refusal of this
Republic to participate in the scheme
of upergovernmental guaranty and
enforcement, shall have one more ap-
pearance in these columns
"The members of the League un-
dertake to respect and preserve as
against external aggression the ter
ritorial integrity and existing polt-
ical independence of all members of
the League. In case of any such
aggression, or in case of any threat
or danger of such aggression the
Council shall advise upon the means
by which this obligation shall be
fulfilled
The purpose OF Article X. was
clearly defined when Mr.. WILSON
presented the Covenant to the Peace
Conference in Paris. He said on
February Is, 1919:
Armed force is in the back
ground of this program, but it is in
the background; and II the moral
force OF the world will not suffice,
the physical force OF the world
shall"
The question is not what the
League of Nations has turned out to
be under existing conditions, but
what it would have been and what
responsibilities it would have de-
volved upon the American Govern
ment and people if our Senate and
our nation had accepted the super
national structure as designed by the
Covenant.
The esteemed New York Times is
disposed to be jocose over the cir
cumstance that America is in COM
pany with Abyssinia and Afghanis-
tan In its absence from the third
League assembly. Perhaps the
amending of Article X" says the
Times, will quiet the shuddering
fears Of Abyssinia, Afghanistan and
America as to the ominous world
governance of the League and they
will be able together to enter at a
future session, if not at the fourth"
Perhaps, If meanwhile as forum
for intelligent academic discussion at
stated intervals of the affairs Of ma
tions and the peace OF the world
Geneva has not been surpassed and
altogether superseded by Williams
town, Massachusetts,.

Coal in Reserve.
Objections to Keeping a Stock for

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: The plan

and bituminous coal. of 54s,5s6, 900 short
tons. or this only sS,170,000 tons are

One correspondent suggests 20 per

IL there Is a strike OF course any
price can be got for the coal. But II
there is none, watch the consumer kick
at being charged for these expenses.
The bitumlnous industry is badly
overdevelopcd, and the only remedy is
to close the higher cost properties. The
anthracite industry is seasonal and win
always be so until II pays the ultimate
consumer to tie up his money and space

Cline TELLS OF
SHOOTING ACTOR
Says Berger Told Him His
Wife Was a "Bum"-Jury
Examines Home

Haekensack, N. j., October "a
The charge that his wife was a
bum" and not the knowledge that
she had been criminally assaulted,
Infatuated him to a proposal of a
duel, George Cline, motion picture
location finder, who is on trial with
his brother-ln-law. Charles scullion,
and Alice Thornton for the murder
of John Bergen, motion picture actor,
admitted on cross examination to-
day.
Cline told on direct examination
that when, after months of half sus-
picion, he finally learned that his
wife had been assaulted, he had
asked Bergen. whom he said he had
befriended, to come to his homo In
Edgewater and explain certain kiss
ing parties" and that Bergen was
accidentally shot In struggle for
the possession of gun which he had
given him.
What was your state of mind, just
prior, and after the shootingT Pros
ecutor Hart asked Cline on cross-ex-
animation.
Counsel for tho defense objected to
the question and was sustained by
the court.
Asked About Pistol
Taking another tack, the prose-
cutor asked Cline why he had armed
himself. In self defense. Cline an
swered. He denied that he had rep
resented himself as MIR. Ryan,
when he telephoned the actor to come
to his home. He said thai when he
confronted his wife with Bergen she
broke down and confessed that he
had drugged her in a Saranac Lake
hotel and then assaulted her.
Cline said that Bergen then ad-
mitted the charge, and said, I'm a
dirty dog, shoot me- and he ordered
Bei gen out of his house.
Il had no idea of shooting him,
Cline testified.

the actors as he was about to leave

Reproduced Movements
1t was then Cline declared that
he invited Bergen to go up stairs
where the shooting occurred.
Cline, in his direct examination,
reproduced his movements during the
alleged struggle in the second floor
room of his home. He denied that
the lights had been turned out. He
said that had ben the agreement but
as he reached for the switch he saw
Bergen leyeling the pistol he had
given him and at that as he struggled
to wrest the weapon from him 1t ex-

After Mrs C1ins's testimony, which
corroborated that given by her hus-
band, had been taken, the jury, which

Owners of Friar Rock
Continue Partnershir

New York, october "a. H. Ros-
sitter and John e. Madden, joint
owners of Friar Rock. sire of many
fast race horses. agreed today on the
suggestion OF Supreme Court JUS
tice Cavegan. who was trying Mad
den.s suit for an accounting and
dissolution of partnership, to con-
tinue their joint ownership.
Justice Cavegan decided, after
hearing evidence By both sides. that
Madden had been damaged to the ex-
tent of almost q full season because
Rossiter departed from the terms of
the partnership agreement and kept
the stallion at his California ranch.
He declared 1t would be difficult to
estimate the exact amount of dam
ages, however. and suggested that
Rossiter even things up by letting
Madden keep Friar Rock at his Ken
lucky farm until June 1924. After
that tho stallion will alternate in

and Kentucky as the partnership
agreement provides.
