Dr. Bell Resigns From New

CHARGES BISHOP BATTING"
Lindsey's Row With Manning Pro- ,okes Further Difficulty Among CIcrgymcn-Dartm Students Back EX-Judge in Telegram.

New York. Dec. 10 UP)-The split among the Episcopal clergy in New York as a result of the com panionate marriage controversy be- tween Bishop William T. Manning and former Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver, grew wider today.
 Already one resignation has oc- cured within the New York Church mems association, an unofficial club of Episcopal clergymen, which re- gently invited the former jurist to speak on companionate marriage despite the bishops intense disap- proval.
 Charging the association with bishop batting" the Rev. Dr, Der nard Iddings Bell, professor of re- ligion at Columbia university and former president of St. stephen S college at Annandale. N. Y. sent m his resignation as member of the organization. Liberal clergylnen members, who hold the voting pow CT of the organization, said they ex- pected Bishop Manning and others of his supporters to resign soon.
 Makes Charges
 In his letter of resignation, Dr. Bell asserted that in his opinion the association was "more concerned with batting their bishop than they are with advancing the ostenslble purposes of the organization
 "Otherwise," the letter continued, T cannot understand how the asso- citation should have extended an m vitation to speak to man dlsbarred for unprofessional conduct and to one whose utterances on serious moral subject are notorlouslY nn- scientific, exaggerated and, in the worst sense of the word, journalls- tic"
 Meanwhile. Judge Lindsey, who goes on trial Friday on charge of disturbing public worship in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, last Sunday, announced he would at tempt to prove that the bishop pro-

Dr. Karl Landsteincr of RoCkefel- Ter Foundation Given Award for Distinguished Work in the Field of MediCine-Prizes Distributed to Winners at Gala Dinner in Oslo Author Forgets swedish.

Oslo, Norway, Dec. 10 GP)-A warning that western civilization might disappear in universal chaos" if involved in another world war was given today by Frank B. Kellogg, who received the 1929 Nobel peace prize al a ceremony in Nobel hall.
 Honored as one of the outstand ing workers for peace, the former secretary of state of the United States and co-author of the pact Of Paris expressed the hope of human ity for peace. He said he was con vince1 the nations that signed the peace pact would fulfill its solemn pledge in absolute good faith and he did not see the present world unrest as presaging another war. Public opinion he said, would even- tually force abolition Of war.
 "I greatly regret that so many people, so many of my own Coun- tIymen, are predicting war and stating that Europe is preparing and arming for conflict" Kellogg said. T rather share the opinion of those of broader vision who see in the signs of the times the hope of hu- manity for peace.
 Have We so soon forgotten the four years of terrible carnage. for gotten the millions Of men who gave their lives. who made the su- preme sacrifice? Their sacrifice should inspire the pledge never again to inf1ict humanity with such a scrime.
 T wish to repeat today. with the utmost solemn emphasis, that west ern civilization would not survive another such confioct, but would dis appear in universal chaos"
 Kellogg called his receiving the peace prize ''an honor l value more than any other l have ever receiv- ed, not only on account of the noble cause for which the prize was awarded, but I feel that in honoring me you honor my country and its devotion to peace and higher civili- zation."
 The present economic doprcs- sion unrest, and disturbances throughout the world do not pres age another war, Kellogg said. People Of many nations have been driven into abnormal channels Of production. the world is overrm with taxes, and we are confronted with the astonishing condition that there are want and misery in the face Of q surplus in the necessities of life.
 But l do not consider that un- r. st and disturbance throughout the world presage another war. Rather they are natural phenomena, what

PROPOSE TO PENSION
 WIDOWS OF F|REMEN
Retirement After 9 Years Also Suggested Change
 in Charter

An effort will be made 10 obtain a charter amendment to provide widows pension clause in the fire mems pension fund rules, also to change the requirement with refer- ence to the retirement of firemen after they have completed 25 years of service, 1t was announced today The matter will be taken up by the charter revision committee Friday evening this week.
 At present, tiremen are permitted to demand retirement on haf-pay after 25 years service if they have attained the age of SO years, and they are said to favor erasure of the reference to age so that retirement would be mandatory upon their ap- plication after g years service re- gardless of their age.
 No provision to include widows Of firemen is included in the charter at present and the firemen feel that it is unfair to require them to pay two per cent of their wages into the fund while risking the possibility that they may die without ever hay ing received any benefits, and leave widows also barred from sharing in the protection the fund is intended to afford.
 The firemen would have provision made for widows to receive one~.half the amount or pension Ter hus- bands would receive. There are sey- erad instances on record. they say, of firemen who contributed 10 the fund over long period of years and died without receiving any benefits.

Unified Front Urged

Washington, Dec. 10 Pt-A uni fed front on the legislative and po- litical problems facing prohibition became the goal today of delegates from a score of dry organizations. They met in executive session as the national conference of organizations supporting the 18th amendment.
 As individual dry leaders they have been gathered for the past two days in the national temperance council. At the new session they are representatives of specific groups. The delegates first tackled the re- port Of their legislative committee, recommending among other things a further condemnation of any pro- posals for prohibition referendum.

Substance Called "AlCOtate' Makes Reclaimed Substance

GARLIC FLAVOR ALSO PUT
 IN BY SAME MATERIAL
Doran Says Three Years Experi- mentation Has Resulted in Pe- troleum Derivatiye That Is Harm less, Very Hard to Remove, and Enective-Use Will Make Wood Alcohol Unnecessary.

Washington, Dec 10 UP)-De. veIopment of a new denaturant for alcohol which is poisonous but makes alcohol taste like "a combi- ration of spoiled eggs and garlic" was announced today by Commis- sioner of Industrial Alcohol James Doran
 It will be used, Doran said, in the place of wood alcohol in all gov ernment denaturing formulas here after.
 The substitution of alcotate, as the new denaturant is called, for wood alcohol will prevent death from drinking of government denatured alcohol, Doran said.
 Believes Diversion Unlikely
 He expressed the view also that the new formula would go far to- ward preventing diversion Of alco- hol by bootleggers. Tests in gov ernment laboratories have shown difficulty to eliminate the denaturant from the alcohol mixture, he said.
 Government chemists have been working on this formula for three years and have developed 1t from California petroleum.
 Within two or three weeks the government will issue new formulas replacing wood alcohol with alco- tate. Doran said.
 The new formula will comprise 1 per cent alcotate and 1 per cent aldehol mixed with 9S per cent pure alcohol.
 Two Use Wood Alcohol
 Only two of the governments present formulas contain wood alco- hol, but these are widely used in the manufacture of automobile anti freeze solutions, paints and varnish- es. and other products. Bootleggers in the past have by chemical treat ment removed the wood alcohol and have diverted the remaining alcoho! into alcoholic liquors.
