NoUigotionaI Authority

One of the extremely old organiza-
lions In England is the Corporation Of
Trinity house, the history Of which,
some authorities say, goes back to the
days of Alfred the Great Trinity
house has a long arm, reaching all
around the coasts of Great Britain,
embracing the Channel islands and
extending to Gibraltar. Within this
extensive area IL Is the supreme navf-
gational authority. It runs the light
houses, buoys the channels, lays down
the navigation marks and licenses
most Of the pilots. There are approx
imately 1000 persons In its employ
and all Of them are engaged In some
way or another in lessening the risks
incidental to seafaring. Every Amer
ican traveller who visits Europe is de-
pendent upon Trinity house for reach
ing harbor safely on the other side

Greek Sphinx Unlike
Ideas of Egyptians

The Greek sphinx was not monu-
ment, like the surviving sphinxes OF
Egypt. She was a creature Of Gree&
mythology, having the body of a lion,
the wings of a bird, the tail of SER
pent and the head of a woman. She
presented the Thebans with riddle,
according to the legend, and slew all
those who were unable to guess it.
Edipus solved 1t at length. and in cha
grin she cast herself over a cliff and
died.
Somewhat similar composite figures
are familiar in Egyptian art-bodies
of lions with heads of other animals
or of men. The Greeks called these
representations sphinXes, and we have
adopted their term. To the Egyp-
tians however, the figures we're artis-
tic conceptions Of an imaginary ami
NAL believed to be a favorite incarna-
ton of Re, the sun god. The pharaohs
were held to be the descendants of
Re, and his representatives on earth.
For that reason the face Of sphinx
was modelled after that of the reigning
monarch, or sometimes from that of
the queen.
OF the numerous Egyptian sphinxes
the most celebrated and remarkable,
of course, is the Great Sphinx of Gil
zeh, lying among the pyramids as a
guardian Of the metropolis. From In
scriptions found on this famous mon
ument when the dust of ages was
cleared away from the front of it in
1915, the figure is taken to represent
Harmachis, special form Of the sun
god

BRITISH BISHOP SHOCKED
 AT ANNULMENT APPROVAL
The Duke, Principal in Case, Has Isolated Himself From All
 Visitors

London, Nov. IT R-Rev. Will liam Hartley Carnegie, rector of St. Margarets Anglican church and canon of Westminster. said today he endorsed every word uttered by Bishop Manning of New York in protest against the annulment by the Catholic church of the marriage of Consuelo Vanderbilt and the Duke of Marlborough.
 Speaking to representative of the Associated Press, Canon Carne- gie said he was equally amazed with Bishop Manning at the action Of the Roman Catholic church in annuling an Episcopal marriage which had endured for twenty-five years and from which two children were born. ..e
 Tt is perfectly scandalous and incredible" he said. If such ac- ton could stand. no ones marriage would be safe"
 Woodstock, Oxon, England, NOV. I17 Pl-The Duke of Marlborough, because of the publicity centered on him through the annulment or his marriage to Consuelo Wander bilt has isolated himself at Blen- helm Castle, his ancestral home, and is seeing no one who could have any object in inquiring into his marital affairs.

 At the same time, the legislative committee was directed to work dil- igently for enactment of measures to elevate the status of the prohibition enforcement unit to the rank Of a separate bureau Of the treasury de- partment, and 10 place prohibition agents under civil service.
 A special committee was author ized to study the proposal of As sistant Secretary Andrews for re- plenishment of the diminishing sup plies of medicinal liquor.

CLAIMS CONSUELO
 WAS HAPPY BRIDE
Officiating Clergyman at Nup-
 tialS Is Now Amazed

New York, Nov. IT Pl-More dis cussion of the annulment of the mar riage of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough occurred today over statement of an Episcopal minister that Consuelo Vanderbilt at the altar was happy and radiant bride.
 Advices from abroad have stated that the duchess requested that the marriage be nullified on the ground that duress was used in forcing her to enter into the union with the English nobleman.
 Dr. Arthur D. Kinsolving of Balti- more, who was the rector of a church in Brooklyn in the diocese of Bishop Littlejohn, who solemnized the marriage. is authority for the statement that onsuelo was a happy bride. He says he Is astonished at the nullification of the marriage on the ground of duress.
 Was Happy Bride
 That girl was happy and radi- ant bride when she went to the all tar" said Dr. Kinsolving. "The statement that she was an unwilling bride is a fabricated story. trumped up to serve the present ends. It Is not honest I know some of the Vanderbilts personally. I know that the girl did not enter into the mar riage persuaded by her mother. After the ceremony I remember Bishop Littlejohn remarking how happy the bride was in the brilliant marriage. What a natural lovable girl she was.
 There was no hint from any quarter that the bride was under compulsion. Whatever may have transpired since, that part of the his tory is secure"
 Rome Surprised
 From Rome come advices of as- tonishment over the widespread ad- verse criticism of the nullification Of the marriage. This was attributed by one vatican official to ignorance on the part Of these dissenting from the decision of the diocesan court in England and 'ie sacred Rota trih- unal in Rome of the scrupulous care which is taken in accordance with apostolic canons 10 ascertain whether any "impediment" exists to warrant annulment of a marriage.
 In order that there should be no suspicion of discrimination in such cases, the official added, all decisions of diocesan courts must be submitted to the Rota, made up of twelve mem bers from principal Catholic coun- tries and constituting the supreme court of justice of the Roman church. Protection, theological as well as juridical. was afforded in terested persons before both a dio- cesan court and the Rota.

 The vatican spokesman asserted that annulments of marriages were granted only when cases were amply proven, and that otherwise no Cath

EXCHANGE CLUB HEARS OF
 CITY'S SEWAGE PROBLEMS
J. Fred Jackson Outlines History of System And Discusses Present
 Conditions.

At the regular weekly meeting of the New Britain Exchange club last evening at the EIrritt hotel, J. Fred Jackson of New Haven gave the members a summary of the sewerage problem of New Britain and re- view of the history of sewage dis posal of this city.
 Jackson stated that the first sys- tenn of sewage disposal was inaugu- the lines of least resistance, the sew CT ways being built in natural swales and gullies and consisting of seven conduits that drained each sec ton Of the town. In 1897 the Sys- tenn was fou d to be inadequate and Engineer Gray of Providence was called in to survey the situation and advise the cit.- fathers of the best course to be considered in disposing of the sewage problem. The sewage beds in Berlin were built as result of Grays survey.
 It was found after few years that the beds became what is termed as sewer sick" and it was found that rust deposits from industrial outlets had rendered the beds inefficient. In 1914 the situation became so acute as to warrant the visit of Engineer Fuller froV New York who surveyed the system and the beds were found 10 he inadequate.
 State commissions for the preven- ton of stream pollution have studied the situation and have alleviated the menace somewhat but New Britain still faces two big problems. Jack son stated. One is the disposal of the present beds with loss of money which was expended in them and the second is the ceasing of stream pol lution. Jackson stated that New Britain had al'~ays been ready to meet the problems when they arose and he had no doubt that the present situation will be met.
 A good atteniarCe was present despite the weather, Russ Gold and Fred Fgusman were made to sing when they were discovered talking shop at the me ting.
 Mrs. Kenneth Searle made an ap peal for the enrolment of the mem- hers into the ranks of the local Red Cross. Plans for Thanksgiving bas- kcts for the needy were discussed and referred to the board of control.

WATER WALLS IN
 EN7OMbED MINERS
HaZelton Workers Fate Is Still
 Unknown

Hazelton, Pa., Nov. 17.--LP- The fate Of six miners entombed behind a tremendous rush of water 1900 feet underground in the Tomhicken colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal company near here remained a mys- |. tery today.
 The men were trapped yesterday afternoon when a nearby creek broke through its banks, as result of heavy rains, and flooded the mine.
 Rescue crews worked feverishly throughout the night to extricate the entombed men. But early today they had not succeeded in stopping the flow of water. Until this is done there is little chance of reaching the victims.
 Whether the men are alive or whether they were drowned has not been ascertained. Hope is held out by mine officials, who are directing would be brought to the surface safely. They based this hope on the fact that one of the group is famili- ar with an avenue of escape and on the belief that the men had made their way to a finger of the gateway above the water line.
 The water in sections of the shaft is eight feet deep. Emergency pumps have been installed and air is be- ing forced into the mine, but whether this is reaching the en- tombed men Is not known. Because of the depth of the shaft, but little headway has been made with pumps and it is feared that the miners will not be reached until the water sub sides naturally. This may require several days.
 The usual scenes about the mouth Of a shaft where workmen are en- tombed were absent, officials having persuaded the wives and families of the men that it would be useless and also dangerous to. assemble there. The mine is located high in the mountains, two miles from town.
