Says Episcopal
Church Fears No
Probe of Its Faith

st. Louis, May (AP)-The
church has no quarrel with scholar
ships, and is not afraid of any schol-
arly investigation of her faith"
Frederick Cook Moorehouse of Mil
waukee, editor of The Living Church,
told the church congress of the Fps
copaI church of the United States,
which opened it's 51st annual ses-
sion here tonight. His subject was
"Heresy."
in my Judgement" he said, "there
is within the church nothing like the
an cunt of actual, formal heresy that
there is generally supposed to be.
Our cranks and eccentrics, who
Ike to do tie bizarre and to attract
attention rather to themselves than
to he church, are a greaer nuisance
to the church than her eretics.
MANY man 9lories in the thought
that he is a hereto, in these days
when defiance of the law is deemed
smart, when in real fact he is only
a plain chump. Only very rarely,
indeed, and only in very extreme cas-
es, are we likely to resort to eccle-
siastical trials"
Rather, the speaker said, the
church counts on measures for it's
protection, including:
AN ever increasing vigilance on
the part of our bishops in seeking
that embryo heretics ace not added
to our ministry"

5000 Under Suspicion

Following preliminary investi-
cation carried on by Franklin Fisher
Of Lewiston, between $500 and 5000
signatures appearing on the pefi-
tons will be questioned. Over 900
signatures, 1t was learned yesterday,
will be questioned on account Of al
legged defects appearing on the face
OF the petitions. In some Of these
cases it is estimated that the men
who verified the signatures did not
sign the petition, while in other cases
1t is alleged that the men who veri-
fed the signatures We're not voters.
Other signatures totaling from
1900 to 1000 will be questioned ON the
ground that the men who verified
the signatures did not circulate the
petitions and did not know whether
the signatures were genuine or not,
Attention will be directed to the
point that on 25 or 80 of the peti-
tons many of the signatures appear
to be in the same handwriting.
1t is declared by investiga tors that
the Irregularities found will bring the
number of valid signatures consider
ABLY below the required 10000.

Chicago, May 5.-(AP)-The cor

ton of the grand jury which indict-
ed William d. Shepherd, -McClin-
tock's foster father, for his murder
and also recommended that Mrs

The jury also recommended that
Shepherd be held to the grand jury
on a charge of murder in the death
of Mrs. Emma Nelson McClintock,
the young millionaire's mother, who
died 16 years ago, and that Mrs.
Shepherd be held as an accessory to
murder in his death. The jury found
that Mrs. McClintock died from mer-
curry poisoning administered by
Shepherd.
The jury returned an open ver-
dict in the case of DIR. Oscar Olson,
the McClintock family physician, and
brother of Judge Harry Olson, in
stigator of the investigation. In this
case the jury said it was unable to
determine the cause of death. DR.,
Olson died three years ago. No poi
son was found in his exhumed body
but large amount of mercury was
found in the body of Mrs. McClin-

Los Angeles Will
Make Flight Over
Porto Rico Today

Mayaguez, Porto Rico, May g.
(AP)-The United States navy diri-
gible Los Angeles, which arrived
here last night on a fight from
Lakehurst was an attraction which
drew thousands of persons to the
tender Patoka, to which she is
moored, today. SOther thousands
lined the shore near where the Pa
toka is anchored.
Tomorrow, weather conditions
permitting, the Los Angeles will fly
over Porto Rico eastward to San
Juan, thence across the sea to the
Virgin Islands and return to the
Patoka's mast.
The present plan of the COM
mander of the airship is to start on
the return fight to Lakehurst
Thursday. The trip from Porto
Rico will be across the water to
Florida and then up the coast il
conditions are favorable. This
route probably will add 200 miles
more to the distance between Porto
Rico and Lakehurst. ~
Officers of the Los Angeles said
the fight to Porto Rico was the
most beautiful any of them had been
on,

AVIATION COURSES
TO Be ESTABLISHED
AT naval ACADEMY

Washington, May 5.-(AP)-Or-
ders wene signed by Secretary Will
bur today establishing aviation
courses at the naval academy at An
napolis, under which all graduates
hereafter will be trained as pilots or
observers.
The action was in line with rec
concentrations of the special board
appointed by the secretary at the re-
quest of the President last Saturday
to study the relative values of the
various naval weapons, including
battleships and aircraft.
Under the orders, the study of
aeronautics will constitute an inte-
grail part of the academy curricu-
lum, with considerable extension
of the present course in aeronautics,
which has included some study of
aircraft engineering and indirect in
struction in aviation as related to
seamanship.
The details have not yet been
worked out, but decision has been
reached to expand the department
of engineering into a department of
engineering and aeronautics, and the
department of seamanship into a de-
partment of a seamanship and flight
tactics.
In addition, members of the grad
uating class will be given three
months special intensive instruction
IN ground and fight work, ordinar-
lily at the close of the regular acad-
envy year, SO that all, according to
their physical abilities, may qualify
either as naval observers or aviators.
The new instruction will begin
with the class of 1926, one-half of
which, instead of making the an
nual summer cruise this June. will
remain at the academy for the in
tensive instruction in aeronautical
subjects.
Graduates of the academy will be
assigned to aviation duty, insofar as
other requirements of the service
permit, after they have completed at
least two years sea service.

DIR. Thomas Speaks
On Children's Health
At Portland Institute
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

Portland, May 5.-Dr. Augustus O
Ihomas, Maine commissioner of edu-
cation, speaking here this afternoon at
the New England Health Institute de-
clared that the schools today have a
direct health program.
1T is stated" he said, that rs per
cent. of the children in our schools
have some physical defect, either i'm
paired sight or hearing, adenoids, mall
nutrition or some other ailment
Many of these troubles" continued
Commissioner Thomas, IF proper care
is taken, will adjust themselves in the
course of time, but to neglect them
puts the individual into life with a Sc
rious handicap. A person who is al
lowed to grow up from childhood bear
ing physical infirmity which a little
attention will set right has perfect
right to censure' those who are respon-
sible for the neglect.
Everyone should take the physical
foundation he has inherited. take
care of it and seek to make it serve
him to the highest possible extent.
A mans body is the vehicle by means
of which he transforms his thought
into action and his action into deeds.
1t is the aim of the school to give
guiding knowledge and fiXation Of
habit. The school. therefore, be-
comes a direct means to an end and
in this it is as much the function Of
education to build the physical as it
is to train the intellect or to develop
the moral character. We at times get
the idea that to be sound: that is, to
be in good health and capable Of the
highest achievement, we must de-
velop great strong bodies. This is a
sort of mistaken notion. Health adds
to happiness as it does to general eff
ficiency. but great strength is not an
absolute essential. Each one must
develop from whatever foundation he
has at hand. He must safeguard his
physical powers and seek to keep
them sound"

Maori Girl Cool as State
Seeks to Prove Murder
GOLD STANDARD
PASSES COMMONS
WITHOUT CHANGE

London, May 5(AP)-With much
less difficulty than had been expect
ed, Winston Churchill, chancellor of
the exchequer has obtained the pas
sage of his gold standard bill un-
amended through it's stages in the
house of commons, although he had
to submit to much criticism of its
clauses. The commons passed the
third reading of the bill today and
1t will now go to the house of lords
where it's passage is likely to be
quite formal.
The DEBATE today turned largely
on the American credits and the cost
to the country of the advance pur-
chase of dollars for the American
debt and the prospects of return
to gold coinage. On general princi-
pies MIR. Churchill admitted the I'M
soundness of obtaining American
credits but explained that the cred
its were resorted to not as a neces-
sary means, but as contingent pre-
caution. They would enable the
government to influence exchange, if
it desired, from both sides of the
Atlantic.
Mr.. Churchill gave further details
showing that a commission was pay
able only on the Morgan loan ($10O,
OOO,000) which, in two years, if the
credit was not used, would amount
to $4,000 pounds sterling.
The chancellor repeated that he
did not expect ever to need the use
of the credits, which were invoked
as a great deterrent to speculation,
and incidentally, remarked that he
could have easily arranged for cred
.. its up to $500,000,000 if he had chos-
en-.
Quite number of questions We're
asked Mr.. Churchill about the adj
vance purchase of dollars, which fl
nally drew the admission that the
loss involved thereby amounted,
roughly, to 100000 pounds sterling.
The chancellor, however, stoutly
maintained that his action was JUS
titled as in the autumn the country
would be largely buying cotton,
wheat and other commodities.
Mr.. Churchill gave this informa-
ton in reply to question, saying
that according to the governments
estimate, 100000 pounds would have
been saved by buying dollars at par
instead of at the various rates cur
rent during the recent months, but
he did not think the house Should
criticise the government for the
means adopted to facilitate so great
a transaction as securing a smooth
reversion to the gold standard.

U. S. HELP REFERRED
TO BY AM, H0UCHT0N
WAS PRIVATE LOANS

Washington, May 5 (AP)-Am-
bassador Houghton's maiden orator.
ical effort in London last night, re-
garded by President Coolidge as a
helpful Interpretation of American
opinion on European questions. al
though it was made wholly on the
responsibility Of the ambassador
himself, served today to enliven dis
cussion in official, congressional and
diplomatic circles in Washington.
There was no attempt to read into
Mr.. Houghton's remarks a construc-
ton that would make them apply
directly to any particular nation OF
any special political development in
Europe. 1t Was made clear, however,
that the American helpfulness to
which the ambassador made refer
ence was understood to be the ex-
pansion of private American loans
to Europe, either to governments or
to commercial interests.
In that connection the view of
President Coolidge that American
hnanciers could not fail to use dis
cretion in determining which coun-
tries across the Atlantic afforded
the best investment market was
again emphasized The president
feels that the bankers are aware
that, while American loans could
help to stabilize currency and ex-
change and thus aid commercial re.
cuperation in those countries which
are straining every nerve to help
themselves economically, in other
countries such loans would be of
very doubtful value due to the in
ternal and external policies of the
governments involved.
The only formal statement author
lied in any official quarter with res
pect to Mr.. Houghton's speech was
that OF Senator Borah OF Idaho, the
chairman of the Senate foreign re-
lations committee. y.
1T was a timely and wise pro-
rouncement," he. said. IF it was
intended as the announcement of a
policy to be followed up and carried
out its importance can hardly be
overestjmated. In saying this, I am
thinking of Europe as we'll as the
United States"

printer Carter in discharging the
men, Attorney General Sargent de-
clared there was no evidence of ar
bitrarN or illegal action or that for
mer service men had been discrim-
mated against. Discharge of the
employees, his report said. was in the
interest of economy and necessa y
