BISHOP OF LONDON
LAYS HOLY BRICK
Urges Perpetuation of Simple
Beliefs at Washington
Cathedral Services.

Perpetuation of simple religious be.
liefs which have come down through
the ages from the time they were
taught by Christ were urged by the
Lord Bishop of London, Right Hon.

world today, at festival services at
Washington Cathedral, after he had
hallowed and placed in the sanctuary
of Bethlehem Chapel a brick from the
old church at jamestown, the first
church founded in the American col
onies.
Bishop Ingram declared the church
to be a part of Gods design and said
that the unity Of the church Is q goal
toward which all Christians should
strive. The very doctrines Of Chris
tianity, he said, were first given to
the apostles by Christ and are carried
out in the church today.
IF you keep the faith Of the old
church, once delivered to the saints,
you will carry the cross thereafter to
the ends of the earth" he concluded.
Prominent Figures There.
The services incident to the laying
of the historic brick were participated
in by clergy and laity. including some
of the most prominent figures in the
Protestant Episcopal Church Of Amer
lea, who formed a colorful. and i'm
pressive procession as they filed
through the incompleted apse to the
little sanctuary.
A gentle rain fell as the services be-
gan, but just as the lord bishop was
performing the rite Of hallowing the
brick, so rich in tradition and SYM
bolic Of the continuation of the An
glican Church, the sun turned the
raindrops to crystal and bathed the
crosses in radiance.
Rev E.. Ruffln Jones, rector Of St.
Andrews Church, Norfolk, Va, and
founder of the Order of Jamestown. an
organization for the preservation of
the historic island. presented the brick
to Right Rev. James E. Freeman,
Bishop Of Washington.

which came from the floor of the old
church, and was worn smooth by the
passage of many feet which no longer
walk this earth, to the Lord Bishop Of
London, who set 1t carefully in place.
The brick was placed in a stone Of the

.FALL-DOHENY TRIAL
DATE IS ARGUED
Court Takes Matter Under
Amusement as Defense
Oppose Nov. 22.

Justice Hoehling of the District
Supreme Court today took under ad-
visement the application Of Owen j.
Roberts, one of the special prosecutors
in the oil cases, to set a date for the
trial of Albert B. Fall of New
Mexico, former Secretary of the In
terror, and Edward l.. Doheny of Los
Angeles, oil magnate, on the charge
of conspiracy to defraud the United
States in connection with the lease
of the Elk Hills Naval Reserve in
California.
Mr.. Roberts asked that the trial
commence November % and said the
Goyernment's case is prepared. At
torney Frank J. Hogan, for Mr.. DO
heny, and Attorney Levi Cooke, Tor
Mr.. Fall, opposed that date ana sug-
eested that the trial be set for Mon
day, January 10, 1927.
Early Date Opposed.
Mr. Hogan gave three reasons why
an earlier date should not be named.
He nointed out that the facts in the
case and many law points are IN
volved in the civil suit now under
consideration by the United States SUI
preme Court, and may be decided IN
q few weeks. The decision in the civil
case. he said, would be of great help
both 70 counsel on both sides and to
the court.
Mr.. Hogan took occasion to point
ont what he called unprecedented
sneed' shown in the preparation In
the civil case and it's expedition to the
limited States Supreme Court. He re-
futed charges of delay which have
been made.
Mr.. Hogan also suggested that the
question Of the validity Of the Walsh
act depriving the Court of Appeals
of jurisdiction to pass on the legal
aspects of the special appeal allowed
by that court. may go to the Unlted
States Supreme Court.
Review Asked by Sinclair.
Harry F. Sinclair of New York, also
indicted in the oil cases, has asked
for a writ Of review, and, If granted,
the trial Of the Doheny-Fal case
would have to be suspended, he sug-
pested. The trial should not be
broken into by the Christmas holi-
days. Mr.. Hogan stated. and it would
not be fair to jurors and business
men to require them to attend court
during the usual Christmas vacation.
Mr.. Roberts in reply suggested that
If the court would set December
a the last date on which counsel for
the defense may file any motion in
the case he would withdraw his re-
quest that the arraignment of the
accused be deferred to the date of
trial. Mr.. Roberts did not say that
he would agree that January 10
be set.
