for regulations to govern the conduct
OF clergymen sent out to Virginia.
"Cursing, swearing, drunkenness and
fighting" it Is urged, Should be pun
ished by suspension for one year"
while three years suspension is urged
for adultery, blasphemy, ridicultng the
holy Scripture or maintaining doctrines
contrary to the 80 articles"
Proof of drunkenness in a clergy
man, urges the Rev. James Blair, should
be sitting an hour or longer in COM
pany where they are drinking strong
drink, in the meantime drinking Of
healths or otherwise taking his cups as
they come around like the rest of the
company; challenging, striking, threat
ening to fight or laying aside any OF
his garments for that purpose; inco-
herent, obscene or rude talk"
He required the testimony of "two
or three credible persons who were OF
the company and not drunk themselves
whether the signs proceed from drunk
ness or not" To secure satisfactory
clergymen in Virginia, he says, 1t will
be necessary to provide each one with
"a quantity of land laid out for a glebe
sufficient for five or six hands to work
upon, q frame house, brick chimneys,
glass windows, walls within plaStered
and roof shingled; that it have two
rooms and large closet besides cellars
and garrett, and that the glebe be
stocked with four or five Negroes un-
der an overseer and a stock of cattell
of seven or eight milk cows and calves
for use of the minister, and that those
parish Negroes and cattell not be sub
ject to attachment"
Libraries Urged.
The morale of the clergy so far from
home. he says, would be improved by
libraries and quarterly meetings where
each man in turn may exercise his
talents by set discourses against quaker
ism, popery and other prevailing here
sizes"
Another report to the society tells
how "the frontier parts are overrun
by set Of ignorant preachers who
pretend to miraculous conversions. Some
are men or such abandoned character
that while they preach the gospel to
others they are living in open adultry;
these preachers have no authority of
orders from any society Of Christians,
yet they presume to administer the
sacrament Of baptism to adults, often
plunging their deluded hearers into the
rivers and creeks"

the association, and after repeated ref
erences to Davis letter and other letters
in which the same viewpoint was ex-
pressed, Senator Walsh frankly said to
Eyanson that he could not agree with
his explanation.
IT am under OATH" the witness stated.
II know it." Walsh said.
While Walsh studied copies of letters
before him, Senator Blaine brought out
from the witness that he had appeared
before the Connecticut Legislature at
various times in the interest of the
manufacturers and that he visited the
Legislature after he left Senator Bing-
hams employ.
When Walsh had concluded for the
time being, Senator Robinson again In
terrogated Eyanson about the cheek for
$1,000 that Bingham sent him after he
returned to Connecticut and more es-
pecially about Eyanson'S signing Of the
Senate pay roll. He brought out in
this connection that In taking the oath
to which all senatorial employees sub
scribe he was listed as clerk to the
committee on territories and insular af-
fair. Eyanson said in reply to ques-
tons that he knew that at the time
but that he understood that the desig-
nation was merely title" and that
he was really an employe of Senator
Bingham for any service the Senator
might require.

ance on the stand. He sat in the rear
seats with his wife before she herself
was called
Fall made his appearance in court
before the session began, despite phys
ical setback yesterday which brought
about a discussion between counsel as
to whether and how this bribery trial
should continue.
Mrs. Doheny was the first witness
called. Her testimony did not last long.
Led by the questioning of Prank j.
Doheny told Of the mutilation of the
note given by FAN 90 minutes before
she and her husband departed for New
York on December 20, 1921, for Los
Angeles. She testified that her hus-
band, who called her, was worried for
fear possible train accident, causing
the death of either one of them would
place Fail under necessity Of paying on
the then unsecured note"
The way had been prepared by de-
tense counsel yesterday for the appear
ance of the elder Doheny as a witness
this morning. The testimony given two
years ago by the late Edward l..
Doheny, IT., relating how he had taken
the $1,000 to FAN in Washington on
November 80, 1921, was read to the
jury by counsel.
When he appeared on the stand in
his own defense two years ago, Mr..
Doheny was far from well man. His
arm was In sling as result OF an
operation Today he appeared in the
best of health and eager to tell his
story. The only difference in the testi-
mony today and two years ago was
brought to the attention Of the jury
when the defense revealed that Doheny
now Is the owner of the vast ranch
properties of the former cabinet ofiicer.
In the Winter of 1925, as previously re-
lated. Fall had given the oil man d
$l24,000 mortgage on his property in
view Of the previous transaction now
at issue. This Spring the Tres Ritos
cattle and land property was offered for
sale under foreclosure. Doheny testi-
fed that he purchased 1t at public sale.
Justice william Hitz upheldst the OBJ
lection Of owen j. Roberts, Government
counsel, to testimony as to the ap-
praised value Of the properties.
Dependence Of Defense.
The defense depends on Dohenys
story Of the alleged war scare of 1921
as 1t did formerly in trying TO con-
vince the jury that the oil man was
actuated by patriotic motives in bid
ding on the Pearl Harbor oil tank prof.
ect. Under the careful examination of
defense counsel the oil man told in great
detail Of his conference at the latter's
Office
At that time Doheny said he was un-
prepared to undertake the proposed
project. due to objections on the part
Of some of the directors of his COM
pany. When Robson learned OF this,
he explained, the naval ofIicer told him
Of the secret plan which he said the
Navy has In preparation to Offset the

DRINKING AT GRID GAMES
LEFT TO LOCAL AGENTS
bowman, Announcing Ruling, Says
Federal Authorities Plan No
Concerted Drive.

Investigation Of liquor drinking at
college foot ball games this Fail will
be left to the decision Of the local
prohibition administrators under

Lowman Of the Treasury, in charge of
dry law enforcement.
He said as yet no concerted drive by
the Federal authorities against drink

visable.

Tells of Dirt Wasps.
He tells of the dirt wasps who build
a cell, put in six or eight live spiders
and leave them to brood their young"
and of bees who eat their way into
hardwood to build their nests.
Cockroaches. he says, were the plague
Of Williamsburg at that time because
when you go into the larder with q
candle at night everything Is covered
with them" There is also a curious
kind of lice which are another of our
plaques, for where there is not great
care taken to destroy them they are as
numerous in our beds as cockroaches in
our kitchens. The planters call all
such peddlers as sell their goods at
great rate chinches, the name known
here of these blood-sucking insects, and
chinching has become the word In use
for cheating.
He tells of firefiies whose "eyes, If
they have any, stand on top OF little
horns like those Of snail" They are
the favorite food of frogs, and ne has
seen frogs "of an evening take in little
Goals of lighted punk as greedily as
chickens feed on corn"
Describes Wood Tick.
"There is also wood tick" the nat
uralist writes, which when 1t has filed
itself with the blood of a horse, falls
of and dyes. But in q short time this
currupt matter, impregnated by the
sun, becomes the mother of an unknown
multitude" He Is convinced that but
terflies change into hummfngbirdS.
He is hard-pressed to explain finding
the shells of sea creatures and the skel-
etons of fishes imbedded in the rocks
Of mountains, where 1t were a mad
ness to imagine that the sea had ever
prevailed" Some have advanced the
theory, he says, that these mountain
tops once were the floor Of the sea and
that the creatures were imbedded In
rock which then was forming. He
holds, however, that these curious bits
Of stone were produced just as they are
by the earth through some mysterious
power. Anybody with common sense, he
says, can see that the sea never could
have covered these mountains.
He continues: "And If there be no
petrifection, but real production,
which suppose no man will deny, why
may not a rib, or thigh bone, or any
other part of the body be so made?
And If the parts, why not the whole?"
One Of the most curious Of the re-
covered documents is recommendation
