DOES NOT AFFIRM
 PASTORAL LETTER
Episcopal Conference Feels It Has
 No Place at Convention

New York. May 14.--Two resolu- tions, calling in effect for reaffirlna- ton Of the declaration in the recent pastoral letter of the house Of bish- ops that it was the purpose of the church, not to explain. but to proclaim a fact that the Jesus of history IS none other than God and Saviour were tabled today by unanimous vote at the convention of the New York diocese of the Protestant Episcopal church.
 This action followed q committee report asserting it was not within the rroVince of the convention 10 dlscuss the pastoral letter. The report eN- rrcssed the belief that discussion of inc resolutions would revive in the church the modcrnist- t-fundamentaIlst controversy and by resultant misun- derstandings. might do great harm 10 the church.
 The Reverend Dr. Percy Stickney Grant, a modernist. did not arrive at the convention hall until the resoIu- rions had been tabled. He character i-cd the action as ''an unfortunate de- lav of progress" If such questions were to he passed over without dis cuSsion. he said. tho diocesan conN'n- ton might be considered n waste of time"
 Bishop William T. Manning was rresiding when tho resolutions were tabled.
 One resolution. introduced by the Rev. Philin K. Fauntlcroy. Of Lake Mahopag, N. Y.. demanded that those in authority drive from the church all false doctrines and erroneous teachings. wherever and in whatso- ever ouarters-high or low-these teachings may appear"
 He moved to rcscind the rules to allow debate on the motion anu claimed the privilege of speaking on ii for two minutes. Bishop Manning immediately put the motion to re%clhd inc rules and it was defeated bE large majority. When the Rev. MT rauntleroy attempted to insist upon his right to speak, Bishop Manning said; IT,,
 This gentleman is moi m ofher' iiS will pleasc take his scat.

 Rep, Cooper spokesman for the Wisconsin delegation al the clea eland convention, quoted Reid to justify the insnrgent movement in inc northwest.

Every important national gathering in the United states opens with prayer. i II is the ease in both branches Of cons Fress; and II will have been noted that the prayers al the Cleveland con-

In God We Trust" Whatever criticisms might be uttered against some Of our nation al defects, if must he admitted that we start everything in a spirit Of fealty to the Creator. Our history rcterber- atss with fair dealing and honest idealism. as if in answer 10 the pray CTS so lsvishly uttered.
 Ii is not thus in all nations, And fl is worthy or notice that the same spirit Of mutual good uiil does not prevail in many foreign countries. Frequently mutual ilI-wiil takes its place. with it's inevitable devastating results
 Modernists and fmudameutalists may have thefr differences. but both sides agree upon the efficacy Of prayer The fathers of the republic and tho t.f.f.raf.In fatfndfra of Sev Eurfaud started 1t as national attribute. II is written in the stars to continue.

THE MODERN "NILD WEST"

Days of Jesse James and wild and
 Wooly" exploits in trisn robberies were
 supposed to be over. leaving only a
 legacy of thrills emba lmed in popular
 novels and movie thrilIers. The mod
 ern cultured mind, in contemplating
 these misdeeds of a byEone day and
 recoiling from their vulgar brutality,
 thanks heaven that we live in day
 when such things were impossi~-
 But wait! Comes a story from
 Chicago that equals the worst of the
 Jesse James crimes Two robbers hid-
 ing on the tender Of locomotive
 roaring along at high speed and carrying federal reserve bullion and registered mail, suddenly cover" the engineer and fireman with reHoIers and tell them to stop at red signal up the track. Automobile loads Of bandits then break the windows and throw chlorine gas bombs into the mail and express cars, stupifirg the crew; then they order the doors opened and enter with gas masks 10 get what they were after.
 All this did not occur in a lonely, little populated region, such as was
 he hunting grounds of the old time bandits II occurred in thickly pop ulated section directly north of Chicago, where the train had depart cd less than an hour previously. The James boys-about 2n-derarted in waiting automobiles.
 Success in train robbery such AS this may appear to be an incentive to crime; there may be some foolish per sons who think they can duplicate the i feat. But there IS this tn be said as an 1 lntidote, Modern detection agencies l md police methods have Improved | greatly since the days Of the Missouri | olainsmen. II is moro than an even ] 1et that at least some nf the gang | which perpetratcd the Chicago rob | oefy will be caught, 1T not al present, i hen eventually. when they try l another ioh snd fail, For robbery, I ike gambling. ohce begun becomes a 1. ,abit that leads hut 10 the penitentiary i sell.

\ LOSS To THE STATE

wiping ont of the amusement tax collected l,y the federal government on theater tickets of 50 cents or less. ef- fectivc next month. will mean a loss of szsn.ooo to Connecticut. according to information from Hartford.
 Elimination of the state tax on amusement tickets automatically be- ronies effective with Inc ending of the federal tax. the state tax being ono half what the federal government col- iscted or ; per cent Administration of the state law was based on the federal act
 Thcatsrs wifh re erfurmances costing more than sp cents seat Of course sill continue coiiectlHe tax for both the federal and state governments. These include Legitimate" theaters. vaudeville shows. baseball exhibitions. etc. Some of these have seats below 50 cents and above that figure.
 The loss Of seae.eaH in revenue to Connecticut is not light matter. The public may think il wiii save that much. bnt t is probable that the sugusi law making body Will find some ray to squseze that much or a little more oui of us to msks up the s'deficiency."

NEW FRENCH PRESIDENT

Yesterday was the 18th day of the month, the 18th day of the present session of the French parliament. which is the 18th legislature of the republic. The 18th president was elected Gaston Doumergue, head of the French senate and senator from the Gard, was chosen by the chamber to succeed Millerand
 The new French president enters upon the presidency as the climax of q long career in French public life. He will not be d tyro in politics. In addi- ton to having held numerous import French governments, including cabin ct posts, he has also been premier. It would seem, therefore, that the choice of the chamber of deputies has been a wis6 one.
 France now can settle back and en- joy the benefits of a new government. Poincare and Millerand went out of power during tho time we were. warm ing mp for the political conventions. We have one set of candidates nomi- mated and will nominate another set in few weeks. France meanwhile kicks out one crew and puts another in it's place.
 Personally, we think highly Of the French in many ways, but their poli- tical system is much too swift for us swift Americans.

the character Of the American emblem. The resolution was that the flag be compose1 of 13 red and white stripes while blue field in the upper corner of the emblem was to contain B stars.
 The observance of flag day appears to be somewhat perfunctory so far as citizens in general are concerned. Flags were not much on display In New Britain today, but that may have been due to the fact that it looked like rain and flag owners disiiked to see them get wet
 The most important celebration in honor Of the day will take place by the t,lks. observance of the day being part of the standing rules Of the order. The observance will take place Monday evening. with delegates from patriotic orga nizations expected to take part.
 A good way for citizens to observe the day is to re-read it's history.

MODERN GIRLS

Dr. Angus w. Morrison, university association that boys are twice as bashful as girls, basing the deduction upon the study of 2,295 students in the University Of Minnesota.
 This information got an attentive ear from the medics assembled in Chicago and likewise earned a fillip of publicity. The story was worth it.. Anything having to do with girls who are not bashful Is worth a splash of ink.
 Whether youths are twice as bash ful az girls in New Britain has not been computed. One mere mans guess Is as good as another's and proba bly not half as accurate as the native in- tuition Of a woman: hut anyhow. we will venture 10 assert that if New Bri- tain's youths appear bashfnI it. is not because they arc more inclined 10 hold to the amenities of propriety in their attitude toward the fair sex, but rather to the rapid advancement Of the latter in matters pertaining to freedom
 Relief from the shackles of restraint can go too far, however It remains for parents to inculcate proper regard for the virtues of life into tseir young. A little bashfulness usually is better than none at all.
