EPISCOPAL MEET
NEXT IN SAVANNAH
Rev. J. B. Lawrence Makes Flo
quent Plea Fer Church Exten-
SIGN in Diocese of Georgia

AUGUSTA, April 25.-The 101st
convention of the Episcopal Diocese
of Georgia came to a close yesterday
after an unusually interesting SEES
sion taken up. with matters Of bust
ness pertaining to the diocese. Re
naming reports from the delegates
to the convention were heard, and
plans for the coming years work Of
the diocese set forth. The place and
time for the next convention We're
decided upon as St. Paul's church,
Savannah, May 4, 1924.
st. PauPs church, Augusta, set a
precedent by the selection of a Sun
day for the beginning of the dioces-
an convention by enabling the open
ing services and missionary sermons
to be held on Sunday and allowing
the remaining days for the business
sessions, that this routine will be adj
hered to in the conduct of the con-
vention in the future.
Probably the most important bust
ness of the morning was the passing
of the resolution anent the purchase
of home for the successive bishops
of the diocese. This matter has been
under contemplation as a very judi
cious step for some time, since it
would simplify diocesan matters to a
great extent to have a definite res
dence for whoever should be the
head Of the Georgia diocese. 1t IS un-
derstod that the matter will be TAX
en- up Immediately.
Two bishops were presented to the
convention at the morning session
Rt. Rev. w. A. Query, D. D. Bishop
of South Carolina land Ri. Rev. X,
IG. F;nlay, Bishop of Upper South
Carolina, the baby diocese, who made
brief, amusing talk. Bishops pre-
scented to the convention at Monday
mornings session were Rt. Rev
+ Henry J. Mikel, D. D., of the At
Ilanta diocese, and the Ri. Rev. Al
bion W. Knight, Of New Jersey.
/ Among the most interesting re-
ports of the session were those of
the Arch deaconry Of Albany, read
bv Rev. j. B. Lawrence, who made
an eloquent plea for the extension
of the Episcopal church in all parts
of the Georgia Diocese, and the re-
port of the archdeaconry of the col
orcd work in the diocese read by the
colored delegate, Rev. Henry Brown,
which was so excellent that it was
accorded a rising vote Of thanks.

in this vicinity and New Hope are
completing plans to organize gun
club for trap shooting. c. W. Allen,
of 26 S. Main St, is taking the names
of those who want to become charter

members.
Mr.. Allen invites any who are in-
terested in this sport to drop him n
card or see him in person, and THEN
names will be enrolled. As soon as
the applicants can get together Tor
meeting, plans will be worked out
as to what equipment will be usel l..
etc. There will be little expense at
tached TO the maintenance of the
club, as each member will of course
furnish his own ammunition,
Most very town and community
has a gun club, and with the great
number Of cunning enthusiasts loca-
ted here, it should be easy to COM
plete such an organization. There is
a thriving club in Pennington, and it
goes without saying that Lambert
vile can, do things better than Flem-
ington.

FRENCH ENFORCING THEIR
ORDERS AGAINST GERMANS

~ CCUPATION Of more German
~ towns by the French, the prohi-
bltion of shipments Of manufactured
products from the Ruhr to other parts
of Germany. arrests Of many officials
for defiance of French orders. and de-
cisivc steps toward the operation of
trains by French crews marked the
week in the occupied region. First
ReckIlnghause and then Gesenkir-
chen declared complete strikes against
the French. and the latter town was
fined one hundred million marks for
violation of military orders and be
cause of a clash In which two French
soldiers were wounded Refusal to
pay the fine resulted In the arrest of
the leading bankers of the place. The
boycott of the French all over the
Ruhr grew more effective daily. and
the retaliatory measures increased in
severity. The French ordered all
reich and state ofiicrals to stay out
of the Rnhr because the visits OF
some had resulted in stirring up more
trouble. The Berlin government de
cided to test this order by sending
two cabinet members into the terri
tory The outcome Is not known ut
this writing.
One OF the latest of General De
goutte's orders was that the 10000
German security police in the occupied
region should be dlsarmed.

The petition sets forth that 1--WE
the undersign, | believe that the bust
ness of Mike Christcaher, located on
North Union Street, this city, is be-
ing conducted in a very respectful and
aw-abding manner by him, and that
the restriction imposed on him as to
the closing is not warranted for rea-
sons due to his poor management,
but due to the actions and conduct Of
his patrons which he permitted to
gather in his store and whose col lduct
he could not control. We a believe
that since he has prohibited loafing
and gatherings in his s'ore that his
business will operated without fur
ther trouble, and that all restrictions
imposed upon him discriminating him
from the others in the same business
should be removed

GASOLINE CAR
AT new HOPE
North East Pennsylvania Railroad
Testing Out Motor Equipment
Before Spring Changes.
ADDITION TO STEAM TRAINS

The long gasoline ear, ,pur-
chased by the Reading Railway Com.
pany for use on the North East Penn
sylvania Railroad, made its maiden
trip into New Hope Monday, exciting
considerable interest, but proving
somewhat disappointing to the rail
road men.
1t left Reading Terminal ut 10 a.
M, arriving here at ll.b5, making all
the stops, and standing one minute at
each station to cover time assumed
to be used by regular trains in load
ing and unloading passengers. II
started back for the terminal at l2.13
noon.
This is not as good II schedule aa
the Accommodations trains make, but
when it was considered that there are
a total of thirty-thrce stops in less
than forty miles, minute at each
place meant thirty three minutes
leaving one hour and twenty minutes
actual running time, which was not
regarded as so bad Il record.
The slowest and heaviest Steam
train, running irst-class, makes the
trip in seven minutes less than the
gasoline ear did, hauling five, six OF
seven modern steel coaches. Other
and lighter trains, or with less stops
make the run in about an hour and u
half Twenty-Five years ago, when the
trains were lighter, and part Of the
present regular stops only occasional
ones, some Of the trains made the
trip in one hour and twenty minutes.
1t is likely that an auxiliary SER
vice will be put into effect before
long, with the gasoline car covering
the schedule. Quite recently the com
pany had all entering and leaving
passengers counted for week or
more, with view to rearrangng the
Spring schedules, and the advent OF
the gasoline car mey be based upon
these deductions.

STOCKTON RUBBER
MILL is BURNED
Dangerous Blaze That Stopped r. X.
Traffic and Resulted In Damage
TO Hibernia Engine

The old Stockton Rubber Co. plant,
lately reorganized as the Tillinghast
Rubber Manufacturing Co., was com
petely dstroyed by fire last Friday
N ght The fire, which was Of unknown
origin. broke out about Z o'clock. Ii
spread rapidly and soon got out Of
control Of the Stockton Fire depart
ment. A call was sent 10 New Hpoe
and Lambertville for help. -Four com
panies responded, and rendered va
luable service in saving surrounding
proprty. But the rubber plant was al
ready past saving.
The estimate loss was placed at
100000, which was covered by in
surance. This plant was declared
bankrupt about two years ago, and
remained idle until last fall At that
time the affairs of the plant were
reorganized as the Tillinghast Rub
br Co., with William Smith, of Min
neapois, as president, and William
J. Mclaughlin, Of Detroit, as secre-
tary. Operations were renewed last
November, and about so men were be
ing employed. The product of the
plant was rubber balls, toys and tu-
bing.
The Pennsylvania Railroad tracks
were blocked during the fire, and
trains were delayed until workmen
reached the scene TO clear the tracks.
Hibernia Engine was temporarily put
out of commission when returning
from the fire, and had to be towed
back to their engine house by Eagle

peeted 10 have repairs made soon.

FACISTS CANNOT ALSO BELONG
TO MASONRY

A CCORDING to n resolution adopt
"A ed by the Faclst council in Rome
presided over by Premier Mussolinl,
"A man cannot be q Fascist and
Mason at the same time. The Facist
who belongs to a Masonic lodge must
resign from either one or the other
organization" The reason for this
stand is that the Masonic orders In
Italy are largely political and Faseism
does not admit Of any other political
power which has been organized into
a secret party. Moreover, the Italian
Masons are too much internationallsts
To suit the Fascist, who are super
nationalists. The head Of the Scottish
Rite Masons of Italy Is Count Palermi,
and he has asked all its members &c
obey the Fascist order for the good oi
