EPISCOPALIANS FACING ANOTHER
 HARD PROBLEM
They Are Divided on Changing Laws to Per- init Them to Marry Divorced Persons

Denver. Colo. Sept 17-(UP)- World leaders of episcopacy aligned themselves to-day in op. posing ranks on the question of re. writing the church's ancient mar riage code to permit re-marriage of divorced persons. Episcopalian clergymen never have been per. mitted to re-marry a divorced per. son except an innocent party who has secured divorce on grounds oi adultery.
 Last night the convention's div orce commission drew up a canon on the subject which was to be pre- sented to the house of bishops and deputies to-day for action. The commission advocates the remar- riage of divorced persons under certain conditions and will seek more definite causes for annulment of marriages, 1t was understood. In the keynote address of the con- vention last Sunday Bishop James De Wolf Perry. head of the chuHch maintained the church's marriage code was the "code of Christ" and as such not subject to change. re. gardless of changing times or con- ditions.

Autopsy Performed To. day Disclosed That Fact-It Was Possible for Him to Have Talked After He Had Been Struck on Head
STORY OF WIFE
 CORROBORATED
BY SIDNEY B. WHIPPLE United Press Staff COrreSpondau,

Huntington, L. l., Sept IT, (UP)-Benjamin J. Ceilings, vic- tim of one of the strangest mur- der mysteries in recent criminal history, died by drowning and not from the immediate effects of blows suffered in a death scuffle on his cruiser Penguin, the autopsy revealed to-day.
 Ceilings, young Stamford, Conn, yachtsman and retired engineer, was alive when he struck the wa ter. Dr Otto H. Schultz, surgeon, who conducted the autopsy said. The body, found on the beach of the Marshall Field estate on Long Island Sound yesterday, was tied hand and foot, and the head bad ly battered.
 The announcement by Dr Schultz was regarded as one of the most important developments in a series of peculiar clues and vague leads which have baffled the authorities of two counties the past week. The surgeon said it was possible for Ceilings to have talked after he had been struck on the head. In the weird tale of piIdCy, hluIldpiHB anu tlul QGT tOlQ by his widow, she claimed he did talk as the pirates" trussed him up.
 The body of the slain yachts man was to be removed from the barren morgue in this Long Island community where 1t has lain since it's discovery. for burial late to- day. Persons close to the Col lings family said funeral services would be in Brooklyn, and that the body would be cremated at the Fresh Pond crematory at Ridgewood, Queens. It was be- lieved burial would be at Stam- ford.
 Huntington. L. l., Sept .17-(UP) The known facts surrounding the maniacal murder of Benjamin Ceilings one week ago aboard his cabin cruiser, the Penguin, will be

 GREAT BRITAIN
So Newspapers Call It Unrest or DisaffectiOn -Govt Will Hear the Men, Whatever It Is Called
By KEITH JONES

United Press Staff CorrcspOndent) London, Sept 17-(UP)-Great Britain's Atlantic fleet was bound for home ports to-day for investi- l,eatioR oof one, of the oddest- autin- ies in naval history.
 Passive resistance of naval rat ings" (enlisted men), against wage reductions caused suspension of fleet maneuvers and won an imme- diate investigation of their griev- ances by the admiralty. The inves- tigations will be held at Ports mouth, Davenport and Chatam.
 There was no doubt that the sea- men had won an important victory when theadmiralty agreed imme- diately to consider their claims.
 While it was believed that the grievances of the sailors would be settled quickly, the possibility ex- isted that passive resistance" might spread to other branches of the defense and civil services. School teachers, whose pay was cut IS per cent under the new economy bill, have held several parades of protest here and their officials said they had never seen the teachers at such high state of excitement. The police force and the army were also effected.

 Gusmao was slightly hurt.

to Learn Whether They Will Try for Seattle or Tokio, But Experts Believe It Will Be Tokio-Search Still on for Lost German Flyers

San Francisco, Sept. 17.-(UP)- Don Moyle and Cecil A. Allen, whose attempt to fly from Japan to America ended in the lonely north Pacific have refueled their monoplane at Navarin Island and will attempt to take off from here to-day, according to a message re- ceived by the navy radio station here this morning.
 Like the first vague reports that flashed out of the ether yesterday to tell that the airmen were safe, the latest message came from the Russian steamer Buriat.
 The message said Moyle and Allen had landed on Navarin Island near Cape Navarin. on the southern coast of Siberia. Ap- parently they attracted the atten- ton of the passing steamer and were given help.
 "Plane refueled from Buriat." was the message intercepted by the naval radio at St. Padrs Island, in the Alaskan region. and relayed here.

Reio De Janerio. Sept 17-(UP9 In 1709 the Queen of Spain. Is- abel Cristina. went to Lisbon to witness an astounding event. She saw "A flying ship go up trium- phantly in the air." according to letters found here which she wrote to her mother, the Duchess of Ot- tingen.
 In an earlier letter she wrote. "The Queen of Portugal invited me to pay her visit in Lisbon as soon as flying ship is ready. because there lives a man who pretends to have the power to be able to navi- gate through the air." The man was Bartholomew De Gusmao. Bra gillian priest. and Brazilians claim that he was first man to fly.
 Gusma was born in Santos in the second half of the seventeenth century. After he was ordained he went to Portugal and started re- search on making machine which men could fly. By 1709 he had con- structed weird apparatus which he called "A Passarola," (The Bird). and wrote to King John V. of Portugal about it.

 Detroit, Sept IT, -(UP)-Three pistols covered with green paint were the only clues to-day to the massacre of three gangsters, who were herded into an apartment in a quiet resi- [ntial district yester- day. lined against a wall and executed.
