DR, GRANT DIES
 AFTER OPERATION
Clergyman Who Questioned Di. yinity Of Christ Passes Away

New York, Feb. fl LP) The Rev. Percy Stickney Grant, liberal Protestant Episcopal minister. whose views on the divinity of Christ, divorce and many other questions frequently caused con- troversies, died in a Mount Kisco, \. Y, hospital yesterday.
 He was 66. Last Tuesday he was operated on for appendicitis. He rallied but was weakened by a rraemic poisoning. III health had brought about his retirement in June, 1924, as rector of the Church of the Ascension, Fifth avenue and 10th street
 Dr. Grant was unmarried. His engagement 10 Mrs, Rita De Acos ta Lydig, twice divorced, was an- nounced in August, 1921, but was broken in May, 1924, following an order from Bishop Manning of the New York diocese, forbidding any minister in his territory to marry the couple. The Episcopalian laws forbid re-marriage of divorced per sons, except in special cases.
 Dr. Grant had gained prominent notice by attacking these church laws in 1901. In 1915 he criticized Dr. Manning since chosen bishop, for favoring an even stricter ban on re-marriage of divorced persons.
 In 1923 Dr. Grant clashed with Bishop Manning on the question of the divinity of Jesus Christ. Dr. Grant had said that he did not be- lieve Christ possessed equal powers with God and that he thought few university educated clergymen did believe so. He also said he felt that conservation of churches was custom passed down from witcb- craft days and that the clergy was "a suppressed, chained profession, whose members speak their minds outside the pulpit and not in it.'
 Bishop Manning demanded Dr. Grant either recant his apparent disbelief in the divinity of Jesus, resign or face trial for heresy.
 Dr. Grant re-stated his views. Bishop Manning did not find in the re-statemcnt grounds for trial and the matter was dropped.
 Dr. Grant, born in Boston and educated at Harvard, came to the Church of the Ascension from Fall River. Mass, 31 years ago. Tho church soon won a reputation for it's liberal discussions of social and economic questions.
 Mrs. Lydig was one of literary group that surrounded pr. Grant in his church. She was 45 at the time her engagement to him was announced. He dedicated a volume of poems to her with this inscrip- tion: "An ambitious and stimulating intelligence; gifted with a knowl-

 The coroner states he is "of the opinion that the rate of speed of the car was excessive and reckless. and such speed caused the driver to be unable to see the deceased until too late to avoid striking Kingsley"
 In the second finding the coroner decides that the driver who struck Samuel Fasick, 39. of Stamford, on January 26, evidently did not see Fasick at all. The coroner is of the opinion that the driver did not stop, not realizing that Fasick had been struck.

After that, they will take care of

CONDITIONS
HAVE CHANGED
SAYS W ENZEL
Bureau Director Gives Com
mittee Reasons Why He
Cannot Support S. b. rs

Declaring that he could not con-
scientiously support senate bill IS
because conditions are different
than they were in 1921 and 1922
Il. +. Wcnzcl appeared before the
house insurance committee We'd
nesday night to give the commit
tee facts surrounding the proposed
bill. which would allow private in
surancc companies to compete with
not yet announced its decision on
the measure.
Because of the increase in the
ratio of total permanent wards un-
paid to the total cash on hand of
the bureau, Mr.. Wenzel said it
would not be good business to pass
the bill at this time.
"The 1921 total permanent
awards remaining unpaid in 1921
were only 1925 900 or about 80 per
cent of the actual cash on hand
by reason Of the large premiums
charged the first tive years. Mr.
Wenzel said
an 1923 this total was $500, 900
or 333 per cent of the cash on hand.
Since that time there has been a
complete change in the situation.
To-day we have permanent
awards unpaid totaling close to
100000 representing 60 per cent
Of the cash on hand, and if the
legislature doesn't pass the COM
pensation bond bill, SlOS,000 addi
tional will have to be set aside.
If this bill is passed, private
insurance companies could come IN
on clean sheet. The North Da-
kota bureau has had to run on a
high schedule With our loss ey-
perience. we would have to COM
pete against these concerns, jeop-
ardizing about million dollars
worth Of awards"
Challenges Actuary's Statement
Mr.. Wenzel declared that the ac-
tuary, c. f. Scattergocd. had been
inaccurate in his statement that
the bureau was operating on an
expense basis of 10 per cent.
Taking figures for past years, he
showed that the rate for the year
1l9-i92O was I6 per cent; for
1920-l92l, 80 per cent; 1922.
"a per cent; 1928 80 per cent.
I923-l924, 30 per cent; l924-l923.
10 per cent and l925-l926. ii per
cent.
These figures show that the
bureau operates on an average eX-
pense basis OF 20 per cent instead
Ct 10 per cent, Wenzel averred.
Mr.. Wenzel reiterated his re-
marks about benefit rates on GER
tain classifications in the bureau
and pointed cut that II or y OF

are Sin the red" He took the

showing that here the bureau was
$4,000 en- the wrong side of the
ledger.
I'VE won't collect enough off
this classification in 20 years to
pay this deficit" Mr.. Wenzel
stated.
