VENDING.
COMPLAINT HEARD.
Charges Dry Agents and Po-
lice Hurt Business Made
by George P. Rock.

Justice Hoehling of the District SUI
preme Court today heard testimony
concerning the charge of George p.
Rock, proprietor of a near-beer saloon
at $40 Eleventh street southwest, that
prohibition officials and police officers
are interfering with his customers.
Rock claimed that Gen. Lincoln G. An
drewS, Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury, and Harry Luckett, divi-
sional chief of the prohibition unit,
had prevailed on the owner of the
property to give Rock a notice to quit.
and that Detective Ogle had intimi-
dated customers and caused them to
transfer their patronage.
Attorney John J. Maginnis, repre-
senting the plaintiff, offered evidence
to show that a policeman has been
constantly on duty in and about the
esta tablishment since August y, when
Rock was acquitted in Police Court
Of n charge of selling intoXicants.
Assistant United States Attorney
Collins on behalf of Luckett admitted
that notice had been sent to the
owner of the property when a charge
of sale and possession of fntoXicants
had been made against Rock. He
contended that whatever damage had
been suffered by Rock from this COM
munication was complete, and that If
illegal he had remedy in damage
suit at law. -
Assistant Corporation Counsel Madi
gan submitted answers of Maj. Daniel
Sullivan, chief of police, and Howard
r. Ogle. q detective. in which the
former denied that any specific order
had emanated from headquarters re-
quiring a policeman to be stationed
at Rocks place. and the latter ad-
mitted that he had frequently visited
the place, but denied any intimidating
Of prospective customers. Ogle in
his answer said, "if his mere presence
intimidated the patrons or compelled
them to trade elsewhere 1t was for
reasons best known to the patrons"
and not to him.
Ogle took the witness stand and
denied that he had ever interfered
with customers of Rock, and told of
a raid of the premises and of the ar
rest of two persons supposed to be
bartenders. Other policemen testified
that they had no specific orders to
watch the place, but one of the officers
from the harbor precinct admitted
that a policeman was there much of
the time. "Oh, ne was on the job all
right declared the witness in refer
ence to the policeman guarding the
Rock place.

ECONOMY DEMANDS
HIT CHURCH WORK
Episcopal Missions and Edu-
cation Face CurtaiI-
ment.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. September 9.-The
Episcopal Church, regarded as one of
the richest religious denominations
in the world. is facing a radical re-
duction in expenditures and curtail-
ment of its work with possible aban-
donment of entire fields of missionary
service.
This situation was revealed today by
the budget to be submitted to the gen.
erai convention at New Orleans next
month, copies of which were sent to
the clerical and lay delegates.
The demand for retrenchment which
has arisen is ascribed to decrea sing
contributions from the various dio-
ceses throughout the country for the
support of the general work of the
church. including the mission field.
Education Would Suffer.
The educational work of the church
will be hit hardest If suggested cuts
totaling S1,200,000 are made in the
budget of S4 500, 900. Next to that.
a reduction of salaries paid by the
National Council will be necessitated,
involving a departure from the policy
of the campaign launched six years
ago to raise the compensation of the
clergy to a living basis, which has
been largely successful in its results.
The reduction of appropriations for
certain lines of work, 1t is declared,
will also mean an abandonment OF a
unified system of raising funds for the
general work of the chrch.
An interesting feature of the situa-
ton is that this movement for re-
trenchment in the work of the church
/ comes at a time when the member
ship is contributing more toward all
church purposes than at any time in
it's history. Last year, for instance,
the total was $4,000. 900 in excess of
the contributions for 1919.
Budget Quota Not Raised.
The explanation is said to lie in the
fact that many of the dioceses upon
which the church must rely almost
entirely for support of the mission
fields and other general work have
failed to meet the budget quota as
signed to them by the Episcopal Ma
tional Council at the direction of gen.
eral convention, while their congrega-
tions are raising large sums for local
work.
The convention of 1919 inaugu-
rated what is known as the. Nation
wide compaign, under the impetus of
which contributions for the church's S
general work increased more than 100
pee cent. That convention also created
the national council TO administer
the affairs of the church between con-
ventions. 1t is this council which
presents to each general convention
budget covering the ensuing three
years.
Lewis b. Franklin, vice president
and treasurer Of the church, reminds
the members In a statement that ex-

penditures must balance income or
disa ster will follow
Some Of those who advocate reduce
tions in work seem to forget that the
budget can also be balanced by an in
crease in receipts" says Mr.. Franklin.
Past records of giving do not meas
ure the present ability of the people
OF our communion to support their
worldwide missionary enterprise as
such. Gifts during the last three
years have been at the rate of $3.50
per annum per member. or 5 cents
week"
While not few of the dioceses have
met their quotas in full during the
last six years, many others failed to
reach the goal, claiming that the de-
mands made upon them were exces-
sive. These dioeeses. among which are
Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania and
Pittsburgh, now are leading the move
ment for a modified budget based ap-
proximately upon the average Of the
diocesan givings during the past three
years.
Reduced Budget Prepared.
It is suggested that budget of S3,-
800 900 would conform to this prin-
ciple, and on orders from the national
council an alternative budget has been
prepared with detailed figures. show
ing just what curtailments and aban-
donments in the present work of the
church will be necessary to effect the
proposed reduction of 81 200 ,0o0
Some mission fields will have to be
abandoned entirely if the curtailed
budget is adopted: there will be reduc-
tions in the salaries of the missionary
bishops, clergy and workers through
out the world: many new projects will
have TO be abandoned and the whole
scale of the church's work will he
projected on narrower and more re-
stricted hOsis.
