BISHOP BECK WIT H WILL APPEAL CASE
 TOGENERAL CHURCH
Wilkinson Acquitted, But Bishop Questions Right of Rector to Allow Alleged
 Dissertation
By FRED H. GORMLEY
Montgomery Bureau, Tho AEe-Hernld,

asI-a First National Bank Building
 Montgomery, June tSpecial.)-- Bishop c. NJ. Beckwith will appeal to the general church from the de- cision of the trial board which ac- quitted pr. Richard Wilkinson, rector of St. Johns Episcopal church, of charges preferred by the bishop fol- lowing a trial at Troy Tuesday. In A public statement today, Bishop Beckwith said he felt this appeal was necessary in order that the duties and responsibilities of the bishop may be established, but this appeal will not affect the acquittal of pr. Wilkinson.
 It was the first public utterance of Bishop Beckwith since the charges were preferred, although he had been Invited to make a public statement. Bishop Beckwith said he believed the Christian people should have the statement since the case had been concluded.
 Invites Rabbi
 "The rector of St. Johns church, Montgomery. last December invited Jewish rabbi to deliver. in the parish house of St. Johns church, 10 St. Johns congregation and others. an address which the rector had all ready heard. on The Attitude of the Modern Jew to Jesus. said Bishop Beckwith's statement in part.
 "The bishop believed this was a violation of the law of the church, but before acting upon his conviction, the bishop submitted the facts to the standing committee. his official coun- cil of advice. and to the chancellor. ris legal adviser. and was. by these seven clergymen and laymen, advised that is was his duty to proceed under the canons of the church. The facts were then laid before an investigat- ing committee, consisting of two clergymen and one layman, who unan- imously preferred charges, so that the bishop had the concurrence of five clergymen and five laymen that he was obliged to proceed with the case.
 Court Has Acquitted
 The trial court has acquitted the accused The court was not required to, and did not state the opinion upon which it's judgment rested. It is to be inferred that the court found that the utterances of the rabbi do not constitute strange and erronc- ous doctrine contrary to Gods word. as this church hath received the same, as contemplated i'll the minis tcr's ordination VOW.
 s.It Is clear that the court decided that tho law of the church. giving the bishop control of such matters. applies only to church buildings which have been ceremonially conse- crated.
 This finding, being contrary to the unanimous opinion of the execu- tive officers of the diocese, will be appealed from. This appeal will not affect the acquittal of the rector but will permit the general church to say whether or not the bishop has any duty or responsibility in such cases"

IRISH PACT WILL . BE CONSIDERED AT
 MEETING OF DALI
Status of DevaIera- Collins Agreement Is Center of Interest-CoIIins Will
 Lead House
Bv Associated Press

Dublin, June With little or no information hiven out regarding the progress of the controversies be- tween Arthur Griffith and the Brit ish ministers at London. interest in the session of the Dail, which be- gins tomorrow afternoon, centers on the status of the DevaleraCollins pact and the prospective elections contests.
 In MT. Griffith's absence the task of leading the House falls on Mi chael Collins and in the present state of national affairs the people win concentrate on the declaration of the leaders and the debate among the rank and file in the assembly in order to find some light on the situation, which to the average per son seems to remain one of doubt and darkness.
 Will Review Relations
 MT. Collins is expected to review the general relations between the north and the south, with special reference to the Pettigoe affair, but it is understood his most ardent ap- peal will be that of observance of the coalition pact the coming elections. Opposition to the panel candidates as shown in yesterdays nominations, came as distinct sur prise and the greatest umbrage seems to have been taken at the ad- vent into the lists of ,rtain candi- dates. in violations of the panel arrangement.
 When the business of the Dail is concluded a. this session 1t F not expected to meet again but will be replaced by the new Dali now in course of construction. The date for summoning the new body is le ing fixed for July 1 by the lord lieu tenant Information of this arrange ment will be asked at tomorrows meeting.
 The republicans protest against tn. declaration of Winston Spencer Churchill the colonial secretary, that all members of the new Irish government must in writing accept the treaty. Their idea Is continued maintenance of the Dali cabinet in which by the Devalera- Collins pact they would have four seats. while leaving the provisional government as separate body.
 Considers Franchise Bill The main business of the ne par | liament after passing the constitu- ton will be consideration of the franchise bill. establishing universal adult suffrage and authorizatie. l of new re ister on which the Free state elections will take place. The feature of the completed re- l turns of the nominations is a cer- | tainty that in 20 of the 27 electoral areas, 4T independents will oppose the 90 coalitionists of Collins and Devalera. Of the independents, IS | have been named by the labor party, 12 by tn farmers union and II by associations representing rate pay CTS a-d buliness and commercial in- terests, while three are unattached.

Washington, June 7.-(Special.)- A statement rendered Senator E. ,. Smith of South Carolina by W. Nj. Steuart. director the bureau of the census. department of commerce, to- day. inspired that senator to de- clare a conclusion that cotton the coming fall would be an exceeding .ly valuable commodity.
 According to Steuart, there was on hand April 80. 5,22s.o21 bales of cotton. As an average of 1,o0o,- 900 bales are consumed and ex- ported per month, the bales remain ing August l, the beginning of the new cotton year, will be about D. 900. 900, according to Senator Smith, and 25 per cent O. this amount will be non-commercial.
 Cotton Crop off
 According to the estimate of Steu- art, the new crop will number r. s77,77s bales.
 "Ths cotton on hand" declared Senator Smith, will be, therefore, less than 10,00o.o00 bales. The aver age consumption Is between 13,oo0,- 900 and 14,000,ooo bales.
 "As result of the law of supply and demand, 1t Is evident that there will be a legitimate and tangible shortage Thus cotton. unless all signs fail, will be 2 most valuable commodity. In this connection. it must be remembered that the rainy weather to be followed by the de- preciation in July of the boil weevil will. in all probability. further mill tate against production"

|. O.P. TARIFF BILL
 IS SUBJECTED ID
 RENEWEDATTA TACKS
King Claims Proposed Meas ure Is Already Being Used as Excuse For Price
 Increases
By Associated Press

Washington, June While the finance committee majority continued today to recede from some tariff rates originally recommended to the Senate, the administration measure came in for renewed assaults from both sides of the chamber.
 Proposed duties on fire arms which finally were approved led to dis cussion of wide range. Senator King. democrat. Utah. declared that the tariff measure already was being used as a means Of advancing prices in this country. He read from pub hshed reports that the American Noolen Mills had made second ad- vance in prices and predicted that the raises would be extended to oth- CT commodities including boots. shoes and cotton. He asserted that If the bill had contained fair rates based on cost Of production, it would have been passed in a month. He argued this was not the basis of the measure, charging that it was de- signed to enable American produc- CTS to put up their prices.
 Duties On Guns
 Senator Norris, republican, Nebrss- ka, discussing the duties proposed on shot guns. said the idea was to put up a high tariff wall behind which American manufacturers could advance prices to take care of their losses in invading the markets Of the world and driving foreign pro ducers out of business in their own countries He asserted this was also true with reference to sewing ma chimes. paints, steel products and many other things included in the bill His speech was declared by Senator Simmons of North Carolina. the democratic leader in the tariff fight, to be "an indictment of this bill and an indictment&of principles Of protection as applied here"
 Attacking the bill generally Mir. Simmons charged that it carried a "gratuity" and "subsidy" in every line for the 5000 or 1000 trusts and monopolies" In the United States. Senator rreYiin. democrat. Alabama, attacked the measure along similar lines
 Becioud Real Issue
 Breaking into the general discus sion, Senator Harrison, democrat, Mississippi. charged that administra ton leaders were trying to becloud "the real issue by bringing in side issues" referring especially to ths exception taken by Senator Watson. republican. Indiana to addresses de- llvered by the British and Italian ara- bassadors.
 The rates on shot guns as approved by the Senate range from sf.5o each and 45 per cent ad valorem, to SIC sach and 45 per cent ad valorem, on piatois the Senate approved duties
