Cut From Church List in 1896 as Divorced Wom- an, Wealthy New Yorker Twits Clergyman for Now Soliciting Funds From Her.

New York, April 2S tPl--Mrs. O. II. r. Belmont divorced from the late William K. Vanderbilt in 1896 holds that divorced woman whose name is excluded from one church charity list is still divorced when the next call for funds is made.
 She made this clear in letter to Bishop William T. Manning yester- day in response 10 an appeal for n contribution to the building of the Episcopalian Cathedral of St. John the Divine.
 Mrs. Belmont reminded the bishop that her name had been removed from a list of officers of the Trinity seasile home for sick children. which she endowed for Trinity church, She said he had objected to Her name on the list because of her divorce, and that she had resigned tho presidency to relieve your dis approval of my existence"
 You may then. dear bishop" the letter continued. perhaps under stand my surprise at hearing that you had asked Mrs. Stevens to ap. peal 10 me for funds for the cathe- dral.
 Mrs. Belmont presumed Bishop Manning would not want her name published in connection with any donation she might make, but wrote, the rccognizance Of q gift is of no importance. We give because 1t Is T blessing 10 be able 10 give. What l fail 10 understand is. why this change on your part, dear bishop? My status remains the same. l am still divorced woman"
 The request for money was made through Mrs. J. E. Stevens. of the woman's division of the campaign committee for the cathedral. Bishop Manning would not comment on Mrs. Belmont's letter. Mrs. Stevens suggested she might have received I letter intended for another Mrs Belmont.
 Mrs. Belmont IS president of the national woman's party. Mir. Bel mont, whom she married after her divorce from Mir. Vanderbilt, died in 1908.

NEW HONOR SYSTEM
 PLANNED AT YALE.
Common Freshman Year Would
 Be Divorced From Policy

New Haven. Conn. April ?S Pl-- A new honor system is being plan ned at Yale, 1t having been declared that the present plan is not work ing out satisfactorily, The college student council has taken the ini- tiatiYe in the campaign for il change and has adopted resolutions which are now awaiting the approv- al of the college authorities. The council would divorce the common freshman year from the honor system and would have the freshman faculty act on all cases of giving and receiving aid during examinations in the common fresh. man year. This suggestion has not met with the approval of the fresh man authorities and also has been rejected by the Sheffield council.
 Resolutions adoI ted by the col lege student council would place complete Jurisdiction of the college honor system in the hands of that
 
 sophomor class would be held at the beginning of each college year and each sophomore class would be asked to sign statement indicat- ing that he had accepted the honor system. In this statement, the sophomore would declare that T am on my honor to neither give nor re- ceive aid during examinations and that l will accept penalty as shall be accorded by the college student council for violating my word on honor in this respect" If q sopho- more refused to sign the statement his name would be handed to the college faculty.
 The college student council is pledged as members of that body 10 report all violations of the honor system. Penalties for violation of the code of honor are specified in the reso!u tions adopted. A first offense would be punishable by warning The second offense would call for trial ! of the accused before the college 1 student council. A suspension not 1 10 exceed six months would he the | penalty recommended if the student | was found guilty. Recommendation Of immediate dismissal would be the 1 penalty following second trial if he student Is again found guilty.
