of the Protestant Episcopal Church on
charges of heresy and has since as
sumed the robes of the Old Catholic
Church. will deliver an address at
Pythian Temple. 1912 Ninth street at

auspices OF the International Workers

In his private suite at the Washing

ed with a number OF newspaper men
the reasons for his dismissal from the
House of Bishops of the Episcopal
Church. He declared that generations
now living will see all the world evolve
from the old idea of religion to the
newer conception OF theology, which
caused him to be charged with heresy.
Bishop Brown explained that his
idea Of God is that of a great symbol.
a great reality that in reality IS ma

the pagan gods Osiris and Horus. eX-

PRESIDENT IS PLEASED.
Action of Senate to Date on World
Court Wins Approval.

Adoption Of the cloture rule by the
Senate as means Of cutting off de-
bate with a view to bringing the
World Court resolution to an early
vote is not disapproved by President
Coolidge. As a matter OF fact q
spokesman for him said at the White
House today that the manner in
which the Senate has proceeded thus
far regarding this subject meets with
his approval.
The President Is represented as
for him to dictate the movements Of
the Senate nor the courses It should
follow regarding legislation. It Is his
contention that the matter OF obtain
ing a vote on the World Court resolu-
ton lies with Senator Curtis Of Kansas,
Republican leader Of that body, and
the manner In which the latter brings
this about is for him to determine and
not the President.
AS to the reservations that will be
included when the protocol is finally
adopted, the President Is represented
as feeling that this Is a matter to be
determined by Senator Lenroot of
Wisconsin, who is handling this fight
for the administration, and Senators
Pepper OF Pennsylvania. Walsh OF
Montana and Swanson Of Virginia,
the last two being Democrats.
While the President made it very

sed the matter today that he has 70

A large NUMBER OF reservations e
been presented, including those by
Senator Borah of Idaho, Senator Ship
stead of Minnesota, Senator Reed of
Missouri, Senator Moses of New
Hampshire, Senator Frazier of North
Dakota, Senator Williams of Missouri
and Senator Blease of South Carolina.
Senator Moses has also offered, as a
substitute for the Swanson resolution
of ratification. the old Pepper resolu-
ton, which was reported from the
committee on foreign relations in the
Spring of 1924. which proposes to d.
vorce absolutely the World Court and
the League of Nations.
Senator Moses reservation, offered
yesterday. provides:
THAT the adherence of the United
States Is conditioned upon the under
standing and agreement that the
judgments, DEGREES and advisory opin-
ions Of the court shall not be enforced
by war under any name or in any
form whatever"
Senator Moses declared that he had
felt from the beginning that the World
Court structure was such as to give
judicial approval of war under many
circumstances.
Senator Borah has a reservation
providing that adherence of the United
States shall be conditioned upon the
understanding that in the election Of
judges in each electoral body each sig
natory state shall have one vote, but
not more than one vote shall be cast
in either assembly or the council by
the British Empire and the states in
Guided therein.
A reservation proposed by Senator
Blease would give vote to each one
of the As States Of the United States
since the colonies Of the British En-
pire are allowed a vote each.

VOTE ON C[0TURE
HELD SIGNIFICANT
Considered Personal Triumph
for Coolidge and Indication
of Future Cooperation.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Several significant differences may
be drawn from the victory OF the adj
vocates OF the World Court in the
vote of IS to &c. whereby cloture of
debate was applied in the United
States Senate.
First. President Coolidge won Il
personal triumph in that he cracked
the whip with his own party and got
results. This may mean not only the
easy passage of the administration
tax bill, but other important meas
ureS in this session OF Congress.
Second. the vote represents "a pos
sible lineup of future agreements pro
viding for international cooperation.
Although the Senate personnel has
changed since the Versailles treaty
was debated. nevertheless, it proves
again that the ''ireconciliab1e" group
cannot, in the last analysis, force the
Executive to adopt an isolationist pol
icy and that had there been the same
working agreements between Demo
Gratis and Republicans in 1920 as there
was this week the United States
would have been a member of the
Lea que Of Nations.
Had Votes to Spare.
Third. the President secured 50 per
cent of the Republican strength in the
senate and 50 per cent OF the Demo
cratic memberShip-more than enough
TO make the necessary two-thirds vote
whereby treaties and international
agreements are ratified
Fourth, all doubt about the adop-
ton of the debt agreements nego-
tiated by the World War Funding
Commission this year can be consid-
cred removed With the aid of the
Democrats. who seem determined to
follow a co-operationist attitude on
foreign affairs, the President can
count on more than tho necessary
votes. 1t takes only q majority vote
TO amend the law permitting accept
ance Of the debt agreements. The
''irreconciliables" will launch some
criticism against the debt settlements.
but this will not affect the result.
Fifth. President Coolidge can count
on the hearty support OF Congress
for the participation by the United
States in the proposed disarmament
conferences. Up to now there has
been some question OF how the Sen
ate stood. but the vote of cloture
sweeps away all uncertainty. For the
vote on cloture was an embarra ssing
one. Each Senator had to decide
whether he would put himself on rec
ord in favor of the gag" rule. or
whether he would permit the World
Court TO he defeated. The World
Court and presidential influence won
the day.
