BISHOP FREEMAN
MAY Be ELEVATED
Washingtonian One of Three
Mentioned to Preside in
Episcopal House.
From the $40 EDITION of Yesterday,s Star.

From the $40 Edition of Yesterdays Star.
NEW YORK, October 28.-Right
Rev. James E. Freeman of Washington
is one of the three bishops of the
Protestant Episcopal Church whose
names are being frequently mentioned
in prominent Episcopal circles here as
being most likely to be elected presid-
ing bishop of the church when the spe-
cial meeting of the House of Bishops
convenes in Washington on November
Is. The vacancy to be filled was
caused by the sudden death Of Right
Rev. John Gardner Murray at the altar
of an Atlantic City church early this
month. The other two names most
often mentioned for the position are
those Of Right Rev. Ernest M. Stires Of
Long Island and Right Rev. Thomas
Campbelr Darst. of East Carolina.
Tradition in the Protestant Episcopal
Church, according to authorities here,
requires that a presiding bishop not be
over 65 years of age at the time of his
election. Further, he must be a bishop,
having jurisdiction In the United States.
IN annual salary of $4,000 and ex-
penses. It has been a principle of the
church that the presiding bishop must
have ample financial ability, for the
Office is largely responsible for raising
and administering large sums of money
for missionary work. The strenuous
duties of the position require such eff
fort and endeavor on the part of the
incumbent that it is felt a man over
IS would be unequal to the tasks i'm
posed upon him.
Another tradition of the church holds
that the presiding bishop shall be the
head of a comparatiyelv small diocese
1t Is felt that Bishops Freeman, Stires
and Darst all I'LL these requirements,
and that their names should find favor
with the House of Bishops. Bishop
Freeman's diocese covers 1898 square
miles and there are Ill clergymen and
1l2 churches In his charge. The Long
Island Diocese of Bishop Stires covers
1.470 square miles and contains 1859
clergymen and 1852 churches. Bishop
Darst's diocese covers 1910 square
miles. but has only IS clergymen and
SO churches. Bishops Freeman and
Stires are each So years old. Bishop
Darst will be 81 in November.

REPORTERS REFUSE
TOG|vE TESTIMONY
Tell Grand Jury They Win Not
DivuIge Sources of Pur-
chasing Liquor.

Three reporters Of the Washington
Times today declined to reveal to the
District grand jury the names of alleged
bootleggers from whom they admitted
purchasing liquor within the past few
days. The newspaper men told the
grand jurors that the information
sought of them would constitute
breach Of newspaper ethics and viola
ton of confidence. It is expected the
grand jury will report the refusal to
Justice Peyton Gordon in Criminal Dlvi-
sion / and will ask that the three re-
porterS be required to testify.
The reporters whose names were fur
nished by Daniel e. O'Connen, city
editor of the Times, after being ordered
to do so late yesterday afternoon by
Justice Gordon, had been summoned to
appear as witnesses today. They are
German M. Hendricks; IS; Linton
Burkett, 80, and Jack. E. Nevin, jr., "a.
Should the men again refuse to
divulge the information sought by the
grand jury through Assistant United
States Attorneys Harold w. circuit and
Neil Burkinshaw, it is expected con-
tempt proceedings may be instituted
against them and rules issued requiring
them to appear on a certain day before
Justice Gordon.
O'ConneII First Witness.
O'Connell was the first witness this
morning before the grand jury and
submitted the report which had been
made to him by the three reporters who
checked up on conditions concerning
places where liquor could be bought in
the National Capital. He explained to
the grand jurors, he said, that he had
no personal knowledge of the purchase
OF liquor and did not know of his own
knowledge OF the names and locations
of any bootleggers
Hendricks was the first of the re-
porters to be called before the grand
jury. After leaving the room following
his refusal to give information. Hen
bricks told newspaper men that he had
admitted buying liquor during the past
few days, but would not tell where. nor
when, nor would he identify any alleged
bootlegger when pressed for informa-
ton.
Burkett and Nevin followed and made
similar refusals, it was stated.
O'Connell, after a conference with his
reporters, decided yesterday to make
their names available to the court, an
nouncing, however, that he expected
them To be held in confidence. O'Connell
made his decision after Justice Gordon
had made 1t clear that under the law
he was obligated TO furnish the court
and grand jury with the desired In
formation.
Appearing before the grand jury
earlier in the day. the editor had
declined to furnish that body with
names Of the reporters, but expressed
his willingness to give the jury all Of
the evidence Of alleged bootlegging ac-
ttvities his reporters had given him. His
original refusal to name the reporters
was based on the contention, that such
action was contrary to newspaper ethics
and that possible physical violence
might result to the reporters involved.

BURTON, IN DEATH,
LAUDEDBYH HOOVER
Ohioan One of Greatest
Statesmen of His Day,
Says President.

President Hoover, in commenting on
the death of Senator Burton OF Ohio,
said today that when the origins "of
great and successful policies are exam
ined In the retrospect of history" the
Senator's name will be among the first
Of his cotemporary statesmen.
The death Of great leader Is a
national loss" the President said.
Senator Burton gave practically all
his long adult manhood to public serv-
ice, in turn to his city, his State and
to the Nation. His was always construc-
tive action, and from his leadership has
sprung much of our national advance
meat.
He was a great servant Of the peo-
pie profoundly versed in the history
and tradition of our institutions, jealous
to preserve their integrity.
When the origins of great and sue
cessful policies are examined in the
retrospect of history the Senator's name
will rank among the first leaders of his
time.
He has ever been held in the respect
which many years ago became venera-
ton. His death is a deep and personal
loss to me. He was lovable character
and an affectionate friend
