Stormy Career of
Minister Closes

BIZ OHtted PRESS
NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-In small
church near his home at Bedford
Village, the final chapter will be
written tomorrow in the tempestu
Gus history of the Rev. DR.. Percy
Stickney Grant, militant modernist
of the Protestant Episcopal Church,
who died here yesterday.
Funeral services will be held at
1920 a. m. tomorrow in st. Mathews
Protestant Episcopal Church, near
the late churchman's country home.
During his thirty-one years as rec
tor of the Church of the Ascension,
DR.. Grant was in almost continual
conflict with higher church officials,
particularly with the Rt. Rev. Will
liam It. Manning, Episcopal bishop
of New York.
Most of his trouble arose from
championing what he considered
the rights Of other people, but in
one notable conflict the cause was
his desire to marry the twice-di-
vorced Mrs. Rita De Acosta Lydig.
He announced his engagement to her
in 1918, but because of Bishop Man
ning's ultimatum that he would have
to leave the ministry If he. married
her, the marriage never took place.

 The unfortunately popular fresh man is assured if he sticks to the booklet he will have more of a reward than clear conscience because University women refuse to associate with men who have been drinking.

L|NDBERCH IS AGAINST TOTAL
 RESTR ICT|ON
Says Some Hazardous Fly ing Is Necessary for
 Aviation s Progress

SPOKANE. Wash. Sept. 13.-- Col Charles A Lindbargh took off from the airport here at S:44 a. m today for Seattle. Leaving the airport. the giant monoplane circled over the city and hospital, giving the crippled children in the Shriners ward an opportunity to see it, then the flier headed westward.
 The take-off was made in thick ly falling rain and the sky was heavy with clouds.
 SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 13. = Total restriction of hazardous flights" would be disastrous to the progress of long distance avia- tion, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh told the Associated Press here tonight. Pioneering in trans-ocea. nic flights, he added, is over.
 Col. Lindbergh told the Asso. ciated Press:
 "Trans-oceanic flights have been accomplished to demonstrate tho feasibility of air transportation be- tween continents. The trend of future developments should be to- ward making such transportation practical under all conditions.
 Pioneering is over, but perfect ing is yet to be done. Regular trans-oceanic travel by air is no more practical today than trans continental air lines were a de- cade and half ago. Years of development and scientific re- search will be required before such regular inter-continental sery- ice can be inaugurated.
 During this experimental period we may expect many casualties. Yet to totally restrict hazardous flights would have the same eff feet on future trans-oceanic flying as the air mail would have ex- perienced had it been abandoned during the period of heavy casual ties in the days of it's pioneering. During the first few years follow. ing the initial flight of the Wright brothers, any flight was more dan gerous than trans-oceanic flying at present."

 If the Democrats care to win, MT. Smith will be the nominee The Senate and House will be made Democratic by his nomina- tion The control of Federal Gov ernment is within the grasp of tine Democratic Party.
 "Mr. Smith is not seeking and will not seek the nomination. He regards public office as a pubic bond and insists on doing his work at Albany. He resists every effort, thousands of them. to take him away from duty in order to make political speeches through out the length and breadth of the land. This high-minded man will not be coaxed from his OWL work.
 ''1t makes no difference whether the Republican Party attempts to violate the third term prohibition, or chooses to nominate another favorite of the oligarchy. MT. Smith can win the election. He ia the one Democrat who can carry New York and other pivotal States. He will become the best beloved of aIl our Presidents. "
