fore he filed the suit and alleged that
his motives were "ulterior" and for

In its opinion, handed down by
Judge Burlington, the appellate court
joined with Judge Runyon in criticiz-
ing the Klein suit. Both tribunals
declared the action "perilously jeop-
ardized" the rights of the stockholders.
Friendly receivers named by the
Federal District Court in New York

pointed receivers for the concern

MIRACLES PLACE
IN CREEDS DEFINED
= Have Vital Significance,
Episcopal Leaders at
Congress Say.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, May S.-Symbolic
of underlying virtues, ancient and
modern miracles have a significant
place in both the Christian and other
religions, it was agreed by two
speakers at the church congress of
the Episcopal Church of the United
States here last night.
Miracles are touches of the unseen
world, which are all about us and
perfectly real. though invisible" said
the Rev. Frederick G. Grant, editor
of the ANGLICAN Theological Review
and dean of Bixley Hall, Gambler,
Ohio. Miracles are witnesses to the
presence of God, Mr.. Grant said.
The Rev. John NJ. Groton, rector of
Grace Church, New Bedford, Mass
said miracles reach to the roots of
religion and belief in God. The life
OF Christ is the supreme miracle for
the Christian religion he asserted.
Not All of Same Effect.
Defining a miracle as "an unusual,
unexplained or ineXplicable occur
renee, which awakens within us a
realization of the Divine Power, wis
dom or beneficence," the Rev. Mr..
Grant maintained that Christianity
tdllllOI ulSpenSe with the supernatural
ana that religious thought cannot
longer postpone new definition of
the miraculous Not all miracles
have the same significance" said the
Rev. Mr.. Groton. Il am inclined to
think that in their literal interpreta-
tion miracles are a positive hinder
ance to faith"
In the group of miracles to be treat
ed symbolically he placed the walking
son the sea, the feeding of the 5000.
the stilling of the tempest and the
turning of the water into wine. The
miracles of healing. he said, were sig
nificant because the lives of men and
@women were brought into vital rela-
tionship with God

Lieut.. Doolittle yesterday streaked
his little black ship over 3-kilo-
meter course in a special speed trial
for an officially computed record of
245.713 miles per hour, the fastest a
seaplane ever is known to have been
flown. The mark awaits the sane

English Super Marine Napier Sd was
shipped to this country, recognized a
mark of 226752 miles per hour made
by Capt. Henry c. Biard in it at
Southampton. The Super-Marlne: en-

was wrecked in Chesapeake Bay in
trial flight.

Monday, setting up three records IN
SO doing Flying the same plane, his
mark for the 350-kilometer Schneider

ciaI record was computed as the
average of four consecutive t1lShts

to the memory of our leader, Nicolai

Enthusiasm ran high, as the achieve

recounted. The speech by Alexander
Chramov, in Russian, was well re-
ceived on his first appearance in New
Haven at a meeting of this kind.
The speaker in English was the
district organizer, William Simons,
who after reviewing Lenin's life, men
toned the recently published social
democratic treaty with Horthy as a
sign of that treacherous collaboration
with the bourgeoisie which was
fought by Lenin all his life. He re-
viewed the accomplishment OF the
party during the last year, and made
a plea to all class conscious workers
to join the party.
