ton, opposed him.
Republican Independents headed bv
Senator Norris of Nebraska and Sen

pared to renew their fight against

former investor in the Samuel insult

petitions pending for waterpower IL
censes.
On his second appearance before the

SEX RECTOR
IS FACING
ARREST

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.- The
jingle of the cash register in
the "health clinic" of the
Rev. DIR. James Empringham
rang up $4,000 a month from
the pocketbooks Of patients
who passed under the min
istering hands of the now
vanished leader of the Episco-
pal Church Temperance So
ciety, it was learned today.
His prospecting business--closed by
the authorities-was swept today to
more painful prominence in the adj
ministration of the Episcopalian do
cese when Bishop William T. Man
ming learned that Empringham, his
ecclesiastical servant. was in danger
of double arrest by city and State
on astounding charges.
On top of the disclosure that in
vestigators had gathered evidence
showing Empringham. once nation
ally famous as a stormy petrol in
Episcopal prohibition activities. had
posed as physician and examined
women patients. came the demand
that Bishop Manning make known
his attitude in the matter of disci-
plining the vanished clergyman.
UnfrOcking Hinted
At his vacation site in Maine,
Bishop Manning found himself con-
fronted with the alternative of insti-
tuting unfrocking proceedings against
Empringham. or facing the rebellion
of MANY of his ecclesia stical subordi-
mates who have openly declared that
Empringham had brought the cloth
into disrepute.
A powerful unit in the Episcopal
hierarchy, composed in part of
many who followed Empringham
from his dry stand as an Anti.
Saloon superintendent to his light
wines and beer platform Of recent
years, have demanded that Bishop
Manning discipline the health cultist
and medical poseur.
Chancellor George Zabriskie of
the Episcopal diocese Of New York
stated at his summer residence in
st. James, L. T., that he had re-
ceived the official records of
officials which charge Empringham
with violating medical laws in his
conduct of the Health Education
society,"" a branch, later Topped off,
of the Episcopal Church Temper
ance Society.
"I have forwarded them to
Bishop Manning without comment" I"
Chancellor Zabriskie declared.
Faces N. Y. Charges
At the same time, DR.. Empring-
ham was threatened with arrest by
both the State attorney general g
office and that of City Health Com
missioner Shirley w. Wynne, If he
again entered the jurisdiction of
New York State.
Misdemeanor charges - in that
Empringham posed as a physician
and conducted physical examina-

grounds than unfaithfulness he
