 FROM NEW YORK

The members of St. Philips Guild experienced a joyful surprise last Saturday when a check for $130 was received from Mrs. George E. Nor ton of Rochester, New York, to ap- ply on the purchase price of the lot adjoining the Church which the Guild is buying. It will be remem- bered that Rev. and Mrs. Norton, members of the Eastman party re- turning from a hunt in the Cassiar, were guests of the Guild when the matter of acquiring the lot was dis cussed. A charming letter from Mrs. Norton accompanied the check and the following clipping from a Rochester paper was enclosed:
 EPISCOPAL MISSION IN ALASKA
 AIDED BY SILVER TEAS HERE
 After a silver tea given yesterday afternoon by Mrs. George E. Norton to the Woman's Auxiliary, Arthur Mann Society of St. PauPs Episco- pal Church, at her home, No. 65 Harrington street, it was evident that a surprise awaits workers at St. Philips Episcopal Mission, Wran gell, Alaska.
 When Mrs. Norton and her hus- band, Rev. George E. Norton, last summer visited that mission as a member of the Eastman party which went to that country, she founi that the members wanted to buy certain piece of land costing s200 which was a big sum to the Alas kan parishoners. Without telling the mission people of her plans, Mrs. Norton, on returning to her home, interested members of her auxiliary in the project. Sums to- taling S120 were raised at a silver tea at the home of Mrs. Levi Ward and the tea at the home of Mrs. Norton yesterday. This leaves $50 for the mission workers to raise.
 The Guild paid s25O for the lot instead of $200 as stated above, paying $50 down and s100 more

Special notice was taken of report
that 100000 acres in Russell, Ellis,

Spectators included members of the

been hearing evidence on impeach-
ment charges preferred against Fen

crat. Texas. In Blanton's absence,
Rankin was acting as prosecutor.

Spectators, who nearly filled the

received it. One was that a crippled
World War veteran struck him with
crutch. Another was that Rankin
aim with the ink BOTTLE had been good.
The third was that Hogan, in lodging
the bottle, had struck his head on a
table.
Rankin explained that he, as pro-
secutor of charges brought against
Jennings administration as guardian
of the affairs of insane war veter-
ans, had understood Hogan to say
that one of his statements was "up-
founded and utterly false"
Hogan said these words were di.

made to the committee and not to
Rankin's statement. Rankin, how
ever, contended Hogan looked direct
ly at him while uttering the words.
Representative Dyer, Republican,
Missouri, presiding over the sub
committee, asserted he considered
Rankin had treated this committee
disgracefully." while Mr.. Graham
said that an attempt to redress
wrongs by physical violence was
characteristic of barbardism."
Rankin apologized to the commit

Boston, June 7-(P)-State audi
tors today reported a shortage of
f$73,356.59 in the accounts of Robert
l.. Carter, former LeominstE tax
collector who committed suicide last
January II. The auditors also dis
covered $10,265.94 in outstanding
uncollected taxes. making a total
shortage of almost $4,000, the larg-
est in the history of the state de-
partment of corporations and tax
alton. t#
The audit was begun on the day
that Carter ended his life by drown
ing and has BEEN in progress since.
The examination covered the period
from 1913 to 1925. inclusive. and in
each of these years cash discrepan-
cies ranging from S97 to $19.716.02
