Younger Rectors Back
DIR. Grants Divorce Views
Philadelphia Fayors Church
Modifying It's Law ON
III nyy, a v.pss ovn
Hem arEIGye

s PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3.--Sonie of
the younger clergy of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in this city agree
with the Rev DR.. Percy Stickney Grant,
of New York, that the Episcopal Church
should let down the bars in the matter
Of remarrying divorced men and
women.
The Rev. James Cope CressoH, rector
Of the Episcopal Church Of st. Jude and
the Nativity, Eleventh and Mount Yer
non streets, says he agrees with DR..
Grants position.
Eyes, believe in the remarriage of
divorced persons" the young rector
said tonight just before going into his
pulpit IF you get on wrong train in
this important matter of matrimony
the best thing you can do is to get of
and take the right train. The Church,
in my opinion. ought to recognize in
durable insanity, habitual Drunkenness,
life imprisonment, cruelty and wilIful
deserti0n as causes for divorces.
II am in favor of letting down the
bars on this matter of remarrying di-
vorced persons, because it would bring
the Church into line with the trend of
modern thought. Let us bring the
Church more into line with the trend
of modern thought and we shall win for
the Church more respect from modern
people.

Wreck Holds Up Crowds
Outbound ON the Erie
Freight Cars Jump Track Near
Switch, Blocking All Traffic
an MAR, Line

Hundreds of weekend vacationists
returning to the city and north Jersey
points early last night were delayed
for some time when two freight cars
Jumped switch on the Erie Railroad
near Rutherford, N. ]. The accident
occurred near the junction of the New
Jersey and New York branch with the
main line Traffic was diverted TO the
Newark branch and brought in to Jer-
sey City through Paterson and Newark
until wrecking crews had cleared away
the debris.
The freight train was backing into
the terminal near the Hackensacls
bridge when the two cars bnrkled and
left the track, falling across the east
and west bound tracks Of the main line.
The accident occurred shortly after 8
O'clock II was not due to any labor
trouble, railroad officials declared.

The grasping hand of the interests
reached out Yesterday to seize control
Of the bootleg curb. WSilc the prohi-
bition forces were in church and the
small boetIeggcrs were out tor rest
in their automobiles, little group Of
men who were identified as confirmed
capitalists by their silk hats and cuta-
way coats are said TO have met behind
the locked doors Of hotel room near
Times Square and perfected plans for
a bootleg trust which will dominate
the market from coast to coast.
The news of the meeting did not
leak out until late in the Afternoon,
when it was too late for any effective
action. There was a. rush to cover
among the bulls on tie bootleg curb
There was much talk of an alliance
between the small bootleggers and the
Anti Saloon League, Of invoking the
Sherman law, of calling upon Mayor
Hylan to make good his pledge to sup
port the people against the interests.
But nothing was done. The feeling
both in Fortieth Street and in Chat
ham Square was that the magnates
who had undertaken to control the
business were too powerful to be OPP
posed now that they have settled their
private differences.
Pool Has Right OF Way
Before the end Of the afternoon one
of the most powerful of the independ-
emit groups had decided to make the
best terms it could with the monopoly,
and after that the prediction was that
the trust could have anything it
wanted.
The group which first decided on
safety first was composed of eight men
recognized by their natty sailor suits
as the eommodores Of the rum running
feet. 1t is understood that In return
for their submission the capitalists
agreed to support the ship subsidy bill
and to grant cheap insurance rate to
ton navy.
The action ~ the capitalists was ex-
planned by one. Of their numbers last
night as the rssult Of fear that If the
recent downward movement on the
bootleg curb continued the business
would be completely disorganized. He

declared that under conditions OF
modern competition the American boot
logger no longer could earn enough co
maintain a mansion on Riverside Drive
unless he adapted himself TO the meth
DDS tested and proved in older lines
Of business.
This capitalist admitted that the
bonanza days Of bootlegging we're over
and deplored the coming disappearance
of the romance and picturesqueness OF
the trade, Gone, he said, are the days
when an honest man can rice to fame
and fortune almost overnight by pur-
voying liquor for his neighbors. But
this seemed TO him no reason to be-
lieve that the promised business boom
would not find the bootleg industry
among the most prosperous in the
country.
Lobby to Defend yolssead Law
Among the first steps to be taken by
the trust, he went on, will be the or
garization OF Congressional lobby to
make certain the permanent mainte-
nance of the Volstead law, the statute
upon which ths entire industry is built.
A publicity bureau will be organized
to turn public opinion away from light
wines and beers. When these two OBJ
jects have been attained, he thought,
the trust already will have justified its
existence.
A second step which will be made
possible by the agglomeration of cap
ital in the trust will be the digging of
an international tunnel to eliminate
the present risks in the border traffic.
Plans already are being made for sim
plifying the landing CT liquor from rum
runners, possibly by the installation of
pneumatic tubes running to the coast.
The magnare seemed to think that
the public would profit more by the
new organization than any one else.
He pointed out that with the assurance
Of safe return Of 400 per cent it
would cease to be necessary to muict
purchasers OF such sums as are now
necessary TO induce bootleggers to take
the risks Of the trade, and he thought
that further economies could be eff
fected by study of the market and
the adoption of uniform cost account

Tho next provision provides that "the

light of tbs report of the commission
This also was unanimously accepted by
the mine heads. They declared that
this will prevent any delay In opera
tions "a result of discord in wage
negotiations.
Mem to Celebrate To-day
"Ths anthracite miners Of PennsyI-
vania will celebrate Labor Day with
greater enthusiasm than ever before in
the states history" one member Of the
committee declared. Word that the
strike had been ended was flashed to
all parts Of the state after the con-
ference.
The strike will be recorded as the
longest in the coal regions Of Pennsyl-
vaeia, Lewis declared. The great
struggle of two decades ago lasted 164
days, while the strike Of 1922 is now
in It's 18TH day. 1t was a remarkable
demonstration of the workers collec-
tive strength, exercised under adverse
conditions and against tremendous
odds, the miners leader asserted.
An early end Of the strike was fore
cast Saturday by Senator Pepper when
he said:
eve are glad TO be able to announce
that the representatives OF the opera
tors and the miners have responded to
the request Of President Harding and
have reached such an agreement on
all essential points as insures the end
ing of the anthracite strike In the I'M
mediate future"
Harding Active to the Last
Senator'S Pepper and Reed, of Penn
sylvania, gave the peace plan to the
operators and miners after comforting
with President Harding and Herbert
Hoover, Secretary Of Commerce.
AS the close of the conference to-
night word was sent to all locals
throughout the hard coal region adj
vising the miners officers of the rati-
fcation of the plan. Members of the
scale committee said that the miners
were heartily In favor Of the pro-
gram after reading details in the news
papers.

Chicago, June 10. - Reversing the

whose wealth is reputed at $3,OOOAOOO,
has filed the praecipe of $4,000
breach of promise against Miss Gladys
Wells, an actress, now living in Chi

Miss Wells said she finally accepted

Because he presented me with furs
and jewels, valued he claimed at $780,
900, he said that L was his property,
Miss Wells said.
He was a friend of Jake Hamon
before the latter was killed in Okla

in every respect.
''I moved to Mexia, Tex. where he
lived and during two years there he
used to hurl such words as me as L

HE demanded that marry him
and pestered me until I was frantic
I had to escape from him and L left

What he wants, think is to force
me to marry him or return his gifts"
Roberts is said to have become
wealthy over night when oil was dis
covered on his ranch.
