DR.. FOX IS OUSTED
BY GEORGIA CHURCH
Macon Baptists Withdraw
"Hand of Fellowship" From
Noted Biologist.
BY the Associated Press.

oN the AesoCldIeu fFese
MACON, Ga, September 10.-Hav.
Ing ousted DIR. Henry Fox, former
Mercer University biologist, members
of the Tattnall Square Baptist Church
today expressed the hope that "finis''
has been written to the controversy
between themselves and their erst-
while associate.
DR.. Fox was excluded from the
church at a meeting of the congre-
cation last night in a resolution adopt
ed by members. saying, in part, Con
sidering the full correspondence be-
tween this church and DIR. Henry Fox
and his divergence from standards Of
belief in this church on important
matters, including the deity Of Christ
as shown by statements known to is
sue from him, the church withdraws
the hand of fellowship without preju-
dice to his moral character"
DIR. Fox, who is now in the Govern
ment service at Riverton, n. j., was
ousted from the faculty OF Mercer
University for being ''unorthodox."
Shortly after his arrival at River
ton, DR.. Fox wrote to the Tattnall
Square Church requesting a letter of
withdrawal. The congregation re-
fused to grant him this letter on the
ground that he was "unorthodox." DR..
Fox replied that the church MAS not
qualified TO pass upon his orthodoxy.
The church responded TO this letter
by propounding two questions-one
as to his belief in the deity of Christ
and another as to whether he be-
lieved in the doctrine OF the virgin
birth of Christ
DIR. Fox refused to answer either
question. He then asked the deacons
whether they accepted the principle
of religious freedom within the
church. If they rejected this princl-
pie, he agreed to withdraw volun-
tarily. The church replied that a Bap-
tist was not free to deny the divinity
Of Christ. The vote to exclude DIR.
Fox last night followed a meeting
which lasted until nearly midnight.

Some men are accused today of

punished without Furnishing the multi
tude who are guiltless? Cannot future
threatened extortion be prevented by
some equitable rentals-fixing legis-

not slur all the owners of rented and

A Record Bank Clearing,

Yesterday, the first business day of
the new year, the New York clearing
house handled a record volume of
bank clearings, with total of 81, $780,
10000. This was $50,000,000 higher
than the previous record set on the
18th of December. 1t came within
s207, ,062 900 of equaling the total value
Of all paper currency in circulation in
the United States. The nearest ap-
proach to the New York record has
been scored in London, where seven
times during the past year the total
clearings reached about 81 900 ,o00, 900.
A bank clearance of S1,655, 200, 900
in one day is a symptom of tremen-
dously active markets. During the
past two months the Stock Exchange
in New York has been the scene of
record breaking activity in the buying
and selling of securities, with steady
upward movement in prices. These
sales Of stock have been largely upon
a credit basis, that is to say, with new
notes in security for loans replacing
old ones. OF actual cash there has
been, of course, nothing like the total
Of the stock value volume. Yet there
has been steadfast turning out of
currency to keep pace with the ad-
vances in values.
No clearer indication of the fact that
this immense volume of stock trading
has been on credit basis is necessary
than the fact that yesterdays bank
dasrauces In New York alone amount

Accidents as News.
Until comparatively recently, auto
mobile accidents were so common that
they seemed to have little or no news
value. The discouraging fact has
been that the automobile accident,
happening as 1t does every day in
every community of any size, and
being more or less alike, has not been
news. This has made the education
OF the general public particularly diff
ficult until suddenly the public be-
came awakened almost overnight to
the traffic menace. The newspapers
began to picture the situation
throughout the United States Statis-
ticians sought to make comparisons of
figures in different towns, showing
the relative accident rate, and these
figures, brought together, became SO
startling that the automobile acci-
! dent, per Sc, suddenly became 'front.'

saying that II Is a waste of time to
try to sell the idea of safety to the
present generation and that the only
hope lies with the next and its edu-

full IL this is true. Any reform must
first be tolerated and then finally de-

The New York Legislature.

Politics will be enlivened in the next
few months by series Of skirmishes
between Gov Alfred E. Smith of New
York and the Legislature, which is
hostile to him. There will be no rea-
son for any one to become seriously
perturbed, for 1t will all be political
horseplay. and the skirmishes will
likely end in a draw" The prospect
holds no promise Of any constructive
work by the Legislature.
Upon his inauguration New Year
day for the third time. Gov. Smith.
facing the fact that he was confronted
by a Legislature which is Republican
in both branches, made a plea for
abatement of partisanship in the con-
sideraton OF numerous measures of
State legislation to be presented, and
for harmonious action between the
two parties for the good of the public.
1t was the politically wise thing to do,
and about the only proposal he could
make in the circumstances. On the
face of things it would seem that re-
SlSldUCe 10 MS program Dy lIle NcpuU-
licans will place them in the seeming
attitude of trying to "hamstring" the
governor for partisan effect.
1t falls out that such is their pro-
gram. On the day the words were ut
tered the Republican leaders went into
conference to map out plans to resist
the governors measures and to sub
stitute legislation along lines OF their
own. The governor may propose, but
it is theirs to dispose.
The result is expected to be dead
lock on legislation, for while the Re

will also serve to protect the governor
against ripper" legislation which the
Republicans would like to pass to de-
prive him Of some Of the patronage he
possesses.
