Rev. DR.. Charles Fiske, Episcopal
Bishop of Central New York, address.
ing the Mems Club of ST PauTs Epis-
copal Church here said:
The course of America today, is
that we think we can make people
good by legislation. I've never been
excessively keen about the eighteenth
amendment, nor have l been carried
to the empyrean skies of delight over
the Volstead act.
There are too many professional
upliftefs, who think they can crystal.
lie morals by putting laws on the
statute books"
In the course of his address, the
bishop said: II am a modernist, but
not an extreme modernist. am a fun.
damentalist, but, I hope, a sane one.
My position In the church prevents
me from saying what I'd like to say
about William Jennings Bryan. And

Nv ths Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, June A.
The parents of Arthur Frazier today
remained unshaken in their belief that
Arthur Lopez Frazier" who sought
to establish himself as a World war
hero, is their son, in spite of the hno-
ing of a Federal court jury that
Frazier was killed in France.
Preparations were under way today
by Rev. and Mrs. Charles Frazier TO
return with the n&n they call son
to their home at Santee, Nebr.
Although the jurys verdict upheld
the Governments contention that the
man who brought suit to collect IN

acterized her throughout the trial, de-
clared Il guess 1 know my own son

May Seek New Trial.
Counsel for Frazier intimated that
q motion for a new trial would be
made. The case was the most un :
usual in the history of the United
States Veterans Bureau, which con-
tended that Frazier died in France,
and charged the plaintiff was Arthur
Lopez. a Mexican and an impostor.
Mrs Frazier declared, after the
jury's verdict was returned. that she
would refuse to accept the insurance
premiums due her as beneficiary OF
the soldier buried in cemetery at
Niobara, Nebr. We are happy to
have our son and brother Arthur
with us" Mrs. Frazier declared. He
will remain with us. We shall take
him back to Santee. where we live
now. There we shall take care or
him and look after his health"
The jury was out about four hours,
reaching a verdict after seven bal
lots were cast. The verdict ended
a trial which began three weeks ago.

HEAT TO CONTINUE.

CHICAGO, June 4 Cp.-Littie hope
for cooler weather was held out today
by the Weather Bureau to a nation
sweltering IN many places from the
greatest heat In many years.
Continuance OF high temperatures,
prevalent from the Rockies to the
Atlantic Ocean for several days, was
forecast by the weather observers for
at least 4s hours longer at many
points. The Middie-Atlantic States.
where the heat has been most intense

States In particular, were due TO have
the heat wave with them as a more
or less unwelcome guest. ~

prehension. II has had more of these

servation was practiced the city might

cline in the consumption today.
Pumps Fail TO Keep Pace.
In the third high pumping area. in.
cluding Chevy Chase. Tenleytown and
Takoma Park. where the need for saw.
ing water Is most urgent, the consump-
ton increased along with the advance
in other sections of the District. On

day the figure was s.454 900. Under
normal conditions the pumps serving

land said the third high service pumps
have had a 30-minute rest in three

holders to avoid all wasting of water,
particularly by obeying the police
regulation which forbids the sprinkling
of lawns except within the hours Of

at the District Building today that
in the vicinity Of some fire engine
houses the hose be turned on crowds

heat but Commissioner Rudolph said
the necessity for conserving the water
supply made this impossible.
Washington Hottest City.
Washington was the hottest city in
the United States yesterday. II passed
Baltimore's 9S by eight-tenths OF a de-
gree, and constituted a record for this
early in June. Only three times be-
fore in the history Of the Weather
Bureau here has any June day been
hotter. They occurred in 1874. which
had two days when the mercury
passed 100, and once in 1911. But in
every case the hot waves occurred
considerably later in the month.
Everywhere east of the Mississippi
River the barometer Is rising today,
the Weather Bureau reported, while
the Pacific coast continues In the
grip of unusually cool weather Tor
that section. The present heat wave
has now definitely centered over
Bermuda, and the only. hope Of. re-
lief is that a low pressure of equal
or greater intensity may sweep down
from the polar regions. Two smaller
low pressures have tried to break
through twice since yesterday, but
neither got further East than the
Mississippi nor further South than
the Canadian border.
Washington may find some comfort
however, IN the news that Baltimore
promises to pass IT in the race for
honors as the hottest of cities. While

nal. 1t would be easy to carry these
examinations too far, however, and

Judge W. Bruce Cobb of the New

W H. H. Piatt OF Kansas City said
At think we might be able to effect a
compromise which would require an
examination Of all persons who drive
for hire, but would leave the farmer

hard for the East to realize that the
average farm in New York or New

have from to 10 children and a wife,
