POLICE. SERGEANCY
Civil Service Commission Will Discuss Two Examinations and Decide on StadIcr's Mark.

Ilr. A. l.. -tvitable, chairman of the ciS-i. service commission, said this aft ernoon that 2, meeting of the commis- sion would be held tonight, to discuss the two separate examinations ill tie police department, relative to the ser sgcancy. < tie recent meeting of the police board, that body referred the matter back to the civil service com mission. There are seven men on the list who have passed an examination.
 In 1921, Patrolman John c. Stadler took an examination before he was eligible to do so and the report show cd that he had passed with q mark over 90 per cent, Last spring when an examination was held which re- suited in the selection of Michael J. Flynn, as sergeant, Policeman Stadler took the examination again and se- cured q mark cwer than on the first ( ccasion.
 When the police board examined the two lists Of eligibles last week, the question of the two separate exam loomed up. It was decided hat in fairness to the men, the mat ter should be turned back to the civil service commission. When the mat ter is all threshed out, it will deter mine whether the previous examina- ton taken by Stadler stands.

THEATER CROWD STAMPEDES BY SHOUTS OF FIRE! FIRE!
Scores Bruised in Wild Rush of New York East Side Theater
 Audience

New York, Jan. 22.--A false cry of fire" by an excited person in the Grand street theater on the lower east side, last night when two men started fight in the balcony, caused a stampede of the audience, in which many persons were first reported to have been injured.
 When the excitement subsided it was found that no one had been hurt seriously, though scores of women and children were bruised and shaken up in the mad rush for the street.
 The shrill cry of fire" came when the theater, movie house, was in total darkness and while the operator was changing reels. A woman shout ed the demoralizing word to occupants of third balcony. thinking she was re- achoing a similar cry from the second balcony where she heard shouts above the turmoil of scuffle.
 The theater was packed with resi- dents from the heart of the lower east side. At the first blast of fire" the audience arose, those in the orchestra pushing for the three exits, while those above surged down the steps in their heavy shoes like cavalcade. The confluence of both streams block ed the doors.

That much has been established beyond a doubt The state has also established the identity of some of the members of the mob who murdered Watt Daniel and Thomas Richard. Against some of the hooded men there will be as high as six charges made"

MANNING BREACHES
 ON CHURCH LOYALTY
Hearers at Yale Take It as Rap
 at Dr.. Grant

New Haven, Jan. 22.--A large audi cnce at Yale university public wor- ship in Woolsey Hall yesterday morn- ing heard Bishop William T. Man ming of New York preach sermon on Loyalty" which hearers accepted as having reference to Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, rector of the Church of the Ascension, New York. although the Bishop did not use pr. Grants name. Bishop Manning. whose text was Be Thou Faithful Unto Death" said.
 Some of the people who say they are going to lead life, independent of all conventions, mean by this that they are going to lead life of com plete selfishness, without regard to God or their fellow men. The church is. the one institution which keeps re- ligion alive and loyalty in it's largest sense includes loyalty to the church.
 We are living in a time of many new questions and problems and in- fluences. We meet situations which | leave us often uncertain and confused. 1 It is not surprising that some of those ! about us seem to have lost their way | a little. We have been watching with ! interest the Fascist movement in | Italy and I think sometimes we need | such a movement in the intellectual and spiritual life here in our own land.
 The Foundation of Life.
 "One of the Fundamental qualities ;at of a life and character is loyalty. With ] out loyalty there could be no trust be- tween men, no family, no nation, no civilization.
 Loyalty includes fa'thfulness to the law of God, as He has revealed it to us in His progressive revelations to which we call the Bible.
 There is today a widespread re- volt against the Christian standard of morals and the Christian standard of truth. I hear people say sometimes: I'm going to live my own life. I'm not going to be ruled by these con- ventions. I'm going to have my own my own self-explas- sion. This may be all right if you mean the right thing by it, but if you mean the wrong thing by it, it may be the devil itself.
 Again loyalty includes loyalty to that unique institution we call the Church in its largest and fullest sig nificance. Religion is the only foun- ], dation for life, individual or national. Religion is the only foundation for morals History shows that religion and morals stand or fall together.
 Loyalty in Fullest Sense. M
 Tn democracy like ours the1 whole fabric of the nation depends upon it's Institutions. Likewise the one institution which exists on the earth to keep religion alive among us S the church. No American who 'ealy cares for his country can stand ,pathetic to and neutral to the ,hurch.
 And last, loyalty is all summed up in our loyalty to Jesus Christ. What we need is more clear linking about that. We should have nore loyalty to Christ, with our minds IS we'll as with our hearts and emo ions. Unless we give Him loyalty with our minds, He will grow unreal o us.
 'The one real hope of our own and and the future of the world lies n our loyalty to Christ and if we are oval to Him in our minds as well as ure hearts and souls, all other loy- flies will follow"
