Orleans in 1926. The trial for
heresy and the ceremony of expul-

event of its kind in America during
this century.

Following this action, Bishop
Brown joined the Old Catholic
Church-not a part Of the Roman
Catholic Church--and since then
has furthered his views through
this medium.
He has many friends in the church
which deposed him, and during the
coming week he probably will meet
face to face. some of the bishops
who expelled him.
Members Of the House of Bishops

bers at the willard Hotel, their head
quarters. today. Their activities will
not begin until the conclusion of
pre-convention meetings has been
reached.
These meetings are being held

The possibility of further
patronage losses by the local
traction companies is being
carefully studied by the Blu
reau of Efficiency in its in
yestigation of the proposed
merger of the car companies
for the Senate District Com
nittee, it was learned today.
The Efficiency Bureau wants to
be able to tell the Senate commit
tee whether dropping off in passen.
gers is ant to continue to such an
extent that the companies will,
within few years, be worse off.
Better Times F0reseen
1t is understood in transportation
circles that IL the patronage of the
car lines continues to fall off for a
few years more the companies will
be wiling to merge under far more
favorable conditions from the pub.
He's standpoint than they are now.
The Bureau of Efficiency in its
report to the Senate committee will
attempt to predict whether the
trend will be favorable or unfavor-
able to the companies.
Ever since 1922 the number of
passengers carried by the two local
companies has dropped annually. The
drop has correspondent to the rising
use of automobiles.
Question at Issue

whether the public will continue
to use more automobiles or whether
