MERGER HEARING
Debate on The Nickel Plate Deal Will Not bc Brought up Again Un- til Next Thursday.

Washington, April IS. - After three days of testimony in support of the Van Sweripsen Nickel Plate merger plans and vigorous cross ex- animation by counsel tor opposing minority stockholders, the interstate commerce commission hearing on the proposal was n recess until Thursday. Only two witnesses have testified thus far--J. J. l3ernrt. president of the Nickel Plate company. who fol- lowed T. c. Powell, vice president of the Erie, having been on the stand for two days Both have discussed the extremely complex plan for con- solidation of the Nickel Plate, Erie. Hooking Valley. Pere Marquette and Chesapeake and Ohio railroads in great detail, but counsel for the min- ority stockholders announced before the recess was taken yesterday that they wished to cross examine them | further.
 The questioning of Mir. Burnet, which consumed all of yesterdays s hearing, dealt chiefly with profits of ! o. P. and. M. J. Van Sweringen, pro- mulgators of the merger, with cir cumstances of stock ownership. and with shifting of corporate identities involved in the working out of the
 plan.

BISHOP BROWN IS
 BANNED IN N. YORK
Manning Browns on His Inyi.
 tatiOn to Speak

New York, April 1S.--Bishop VII. liam T. Manning. last night forbade Dr. William Montgomery Brown, former Protestant Episcopal bishop of Arkansas. from officiating or speaking Mn any parish or mission of the New York diocese. ..
 In another letter to pr. w. N. Guthrie, rector of St. Mark's-in-the- Bouwerie, Bishop Manning said that Dr. Guthrie's invitation to Bishop Brown to speak in St. Marks next Sunday was in "open contempt and defiance of the authority and law of the church."
 Bishop Brown was found guilty Of heresy last year by trial court Of the Protestant Episcopal church. La- ter a court of review affirmed this judgment and ordered him "depos- ed from the ministry of this church."
 Bishop Manning. as bishop of the New York diocese, announced that Bishop Brown was inhibited from officiating or speaking in St. Marks parish or any other parish or mis- sion in this diocese" Bishop Man. ming said such right was granted him by a canon of the church al lowing the bishop to inhibit a min ister coming into the diocese "un. der the impWation of having else where been guilty of any of the offenses" within the heresy code.
 In his letter to pr. Guthrie, Bish' op Manning reminded him that St Marks had been deprived of Episco pal visitation or ministration or March 26, 1924, because of the GU rythmical dancing rites performed there, and that under the canons O the church no bishop could exercise his office at St. Marks withou Bishop Manning's consent.
