PASTOR SCORED
FOR UTTERANCES
DENYING CHRIST
Episcopal Clergyman Contra
diets Divinity of Savior and
Conservation of Church.
By United y etoS
CHICAGO

By CHttcU NeUS
CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Clergymen
here denounced, ignored, pitied,
frowned at and prayed for the Rev.
DIR. Percy Stickney Grant of New
York, who in a sermon comparing
the miracles of Christ with the re-
ported autosuggestion cures Of DR..
Coue, and denying the conservation
of the church, created one Of the
greatest stirs in orthodox religious
circles since the days Of Brigham
Young.
At late hour none had risen to
praise DR.. Grant for his outspoken-
ness, and dark clouds were OBJ
served forming in the direction OK
Knoxville. Tenn, where the Rev.
Billy Sunday was reported to be
about to make a statement.
THE church believes in the Apos-
ties creed; DR.. Grants views are his
own" said Bishop Charles Palmer
Anderson, and dismissed the matter
forthwith.
Bishop Thomas Nicholson pending
more information, held his remarks
within similar limits.
On the other hand a number Of
clergymen declared that official
church action to punish the noted
New York divine should be taken at
once.
"Dr. Grant is morally decomposed
and he should be enthusiastically dis
posed" declared the Rev. II. J. Buck
ingham Of Christ Church, Woodlawn.
HE has proven himself to be a rauK
outsider. I can't understand why the
bishop of New York doesn't take ac-
ton against him"
HE should be tried for heresy,"
agreed the Rev. Walter S. Pond, rec
tor Of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church.

teal and can be done, but not under
the present plans and specifications
which Will cost $50. 600. besides another
$50, 1000 to the same architect for su-
pervision."
The minority members refused to
sign the budget for the banking and
insurance departments which they de-
clared should be combined with the
auditors office. The report declares
this would effect a saving of $4,000
a year.
Would Combine Offices
The report recommends that the
offices of reporter of the Supreme
Court and clerk of the Supreme Court
be combined. This also has been recon
mended by Governor McCray.
The minority members refused to
sign the budget for the automobile
title registration and the automobile
license departments Of the office Of
the secretary Of State. The report de-
clares that these departments cost In
excess of $500, 600 a year and that
more than 100 employees are on the
pay rolls. It declares the State went
to Kentucky and bought license tags
for SIS. 900 while it had machinery TO
make the tags at the prison and re-
formatory. The report declares much
of the automobile registration work
could be done at the prison and refor-
matory at a great saving.
The abolishment Of the colony for
feeble minded adults at Butlerville is
recommended. The report declared it
could be combined with the colony for
feeble minded youth at Ft- Wayne at
a great saving.
The State highway department also
is scored in the minority report.
I'VE did not sign the highway
budget calling for $4,000, ,O00," it says.
Last year the commission paved
lis miles Of road and about the same
amount in 1921. With the paved
roads taken over it now has roo miles
paved, or % per cent of the total
State road mileage. It cost $500 per
mile to maintain the roads last year
and the highway director says it will
cost ness the coming years. This
would mean less than s1.600,000 for
maintenance. The Government pays
half the cost of paving and an ap-
rropriation Of S1,500,000 for that
purpose by Indiana would permit at
least 125 miles to be paved next year.
or more than ever before in any one
year. Add to this the overhead ex-
penses desired by the department, it
makes a total of 81 900, ,OOO."
The report says the minority is
strong for good roads, but that it be-
Eeves the proposed appropriation or
S4.O00,000 is sufficient to obtain them.
Would Not Impair
'An appropriation Of $4,000, 600
would not impair the efficiency of the
highway commission to the extent Of
a single dollar or a days work or -
foot Of paving" the statement says
The minority members declare the
inheritance tax and the cent levy
which now go into the highway fund
could not go into the general fund
with an increase in automobile and
truck license fees. They declare a
galOsine tax also would be I'M
necessary If the gasoline tax of 2
cents a gallon is levied. the State
tax rate should be cut 6 cents on each
500 Of taxables. the report says.

RADIO RECORD MADE In 1915

In these days of radio telephone pub
licity when the public mind Is keyed
up to the anticipation of great develop
ments in the radio field it is an inter
esting fact that the first demonstra-
lions of the vast possibilities Of the
radio telephone were made by the
scientists and engineers of the Bell
System back in 1915.
Speech was successfully transmitted
that year from New York City over
the wire of the Bell System to the
radio station at Arlington, Va, and
thence by wireless to the radio station
at Mare Island, Cal
Later that year, still more remark
able demonstration was made by the
Bell System engineers, when words
spoken into the radio telephone at
Arlington, Va. were heard with re-
markable clearness at the EiHel tower
in Paris and in the Hawaiian Islands.
This demonstration established a long
disance radio telephone record which
has never been surpassed

PREDICT CITY'S
GROWTH TWENTY
YEARS FROM NOW
Telephone Engineers Forecast
Future with Remarkable
Degree Of Accuracy

Providing America with an ade-
quate telephone system is not today's
job alone. 1t is the JOB of tomorrow,
or next year, of twenty years hence.
And every bit of work done in the pres
ent must, if it is efficiently and eco
nomtcally done be done with relation
60 the future.
Not that the engineer who super
vises the construction of pole line
or the installation of equipment in a
large central office must be prophet,
or the son Of a prophet. The man
whose job it is to forecast the tele-
phoniC future is an expert, specialist.
Name him a city and one of the tele-
phone engineers will go to a file and
not merely predict how many people
will inhabit it six, twelve or twenty
years hence, but will tell you in re-
markedly detailed terms what kind Of
people they will be, and how many
department stores. banks, theatres,
clubs and churches will be required
to serve their economic, social or spir-
itual needs.
Here" he will declare, pointing to
his map, "the character of the neigh
borhood will change, the residences be-
ing replaced by commercial establish
ments; there a new section of moder-
ately-priced homes will be developed,
with neighbOrhood business district
following these two streets; a new Of
flee building will probably be erected
At this point, a group Of factories at
that" And you will smile incredu-
lousy until your friend steps to an
other fllC and produces proof that ex-
actly such predictions as these, made
as a result of telephone commercial
surveys, have been fulfilled time and
time again, all over the country.
But your telephone engineer will
modestly tell you that even he is not
prophet, In the sense of possessing any
uncanny powers of prediction He will
declare that he is merely a student Of
facts.
