the remains were carried to Philadel-
phia for treatment. The deceased's
brother and his wife, and his
sister, Mrs. Winslow arrived in this
city last evening to accompany the
body to its last resting place.
During DR.. Massey's incumbency as
Worcester's health officer, his profess
sional activity was undated, and his
medical skill acknowledged to be of a
high order. Recognizing the prevail
ence and woeful results of the pernic-
ious disease, Syphilis, he concentrated
his efforts largely on correcting it's
ravages and was rewarded by marked
success. He was, however, interested
in all phases of his work and was a
most efficient official.
Socially, he made many friends,
tho his very busy life prevented much
personal contact which he would have
enjoyed to the full. But his ability
was undeniable; his citizenship, val
liable, and the community has exper-
fenced real blow in his demise. Uni
versal sympathy is extended to those
who can best realize what they have
lost.

table appointments for the bride to be
were white, while tables for the 9th
err guests were in shades of pink and
blue.
Upon entering Miss Sartorius was

for these treasures only while she was
dummy.

did, however, relieve his sloop of about
5000 pounds of ballast. This seemed
to do some good, for in the third race
the Endeavor II was only about a
mile in the rear.
One more victory and the Americas
cup will stay on this side of the sea.
The old craft that won it is lying
moored to the wharf at the U. S.
Naval Academy, and if it had any SEN
sation at all, it would be listening anx-
iously for news from Thursdays sail.
Sopwith has virtually conceded the
victory to Vanderbilt, skipper of the
Ranger, whose boat seems to be the
fastest Class j Sloop ever to represent
this country in races to retain the old
Americas award.

AMERICAS CUP
RACES PORTEND
MUC'SRETENTION
Ranger, The Defending Yacht
Has Won Every One Of The
Three Races Contested
ONE MORE VICTORY WILL
MAKE THE PRIZE SAFE

The Davis Cup, most highly valued
tennis trophy, was recently re-captur-
ed by an American team after world
wide elimination contest and after it
had been taken away from it's native
country by Frenchmen and kept away
for ten years. Bulge, Parker, and
Mako did the trick and the mug is
likely to stay here for some time.
There is another cup which also had
a native land-England. 1t was Of
fered by the Royal Yacht Squadron
for competition. Back in 1851 the
America, an American schooner,
showed it's heels to the best the Brit
ish could offer, brought the cup to
this country and here it has stayed,
while millions have been spent by Eng
land sportsmen to carry back the
prize to Hold Hengland.
At this writing T. o. M. Sopwith, a
wealthy Englishman is staging his
second endeavor to take the prize,
IT.. On Tuesday he sailed against
Ranger, the U. S. defender, for the
third race, and chalked up his third
defeat. To win, he must take the next
four in a row-four out of seven, be-
ing the number of required victories.
The first result showed the chal
lenger about two miles behind Ran
ger when the latter crossed the finish
line. The second revealed about three
miles of space between the two.
Sopwith couldn't quite understand
this. He thought some impedimenta
might have attached to the bottom of
his craft. He therefore, asked for
postponement of the third race in or
der to haul his boat out and inspect
it's bottom. Nothing happened. He

REMOlELINC
NOW GOING ON
AT BENJAMIN'S
Entire Front OF Store Building
Will Be Torn Away For
New Style Architecture

A program of extensive remodeling
and rebuilding has been begun by Ben
jamins in Salisbury. Workmen have
been busy during the past week tear
ing down the entire front of the build
ing. A new front, following the clas-
sic Greek style of architecture, will be
built in it's place. The new front will
be constructed of cut limestone embel-
lished with black serpentine stone with
window frames and metal trim of
struded aluminium.
The ground floor of the store will
be rebuilt to one level to permit of a
center entrance. On each side of the
entrance will be two large display
windows and in the entrance itself
will be six smaller windows.
The back of the building will be
built up and the second floor will be
leveled and remodeled. New fixtures
and accessories will be installed.
The third floor will be converted
into a sales floor and offices and an
elevator will be installed to provide
easy access.
The plans for the new building were
prepared by Edwin Wilson Booth, ar
chitect, of Salisbury and the construc-
ton is in the hands of Charles E.
Brohawn and Brother of Cambridge.
In discussing the remodeling of the
store 1. L. Benjamin stated that he
has been working on the plans for sew
eral years. 81 have been waiting until
the time was right before going a.
head" he said. 81 have always be-
lieved that the Eastern Shore and its
people would forge ahead and I am
now taking steps to be in position
to serve our customers better and to
give them a new, up-to-the-minute
store in which to do their shopping"
While building operations will cause
some minor inconvenience, business
according to Mr.. Benjamin, will not
be interrupted during the remodeling

few ACCUSED
IN BAR PROBE

"A mere handful Of lawyers,
perhaps three or four" according
to Police Court Judge Edward M.
Curran, already have been named
to the Police Court judges by the
special committee of the District
Bar Association as being guilty of
unethical practices in the Police
Court division of the local court
system.
Judge Curran, spokesman for
his colleagues, Judge John P. Nc
Mahon, Walter Casey and Hobart
Newman, said that if the judges
find any foundation for the accu-
sationS of the Bar Committee,
steps will be taken to remove
those involved from further prac-
tice." Under Police Court rules,
the four judges may sit as a tribu-
nal to hear charges.
Although formal charges have
not yet been placed, the judges
heard the accusations yesterday
behind closed doors.

JAPAN PROTEST
International News Photo

TOKYO, Oct. IS d.N.S1-The
British government protested to
Japan today against the attack
on three British embassy automo-
biles in China by six Japanese
war planes.
The formal protest was handed
to Japanese Foreign Minister Koki
Hirota by British Ambassador Sir
Robert Craigie.
Carrying British officials and o
party Of civilians, the embassy
cars were machine-gunned by the
Japanese planes on Tuesday near
Minghong about 10 miles south Of
Shanghai.
British authorities said the cars
carried union jacks which could
be distinguished from thousands
of feet in the air. The Japanese
took issue with this and sought to
throw responsibility for the Incl
dent back to the British them
selves by asserting the automobiles
were following a route which was
not specified when the British
gave advance notice of the trip.
No one was injured in the
attack.
Today'S protest was the second
of this nature delivered by Britain

VATICAN DENIES
ALL REPORTS OF.
FAVORING JAPAN
"Untrue," Is Emphatic
Official Statement
BY FRANK GERVASI
(copyright, 1897, by International
News Service)

VATICAN CITY, Oct. 15.-A
report published in the United
States that the Roman Catholic
Church favors japanese military
activity in China drew shocked
and surprised denials from high
Vatican officials today.
His eminence, Monsignor Con-
stantini, archbishop of TheodoSia
and secretary of the Congrega-
ton for Propagation of the Faith,
who was formerly the apostolic
delegate to China, in a statement
to International News Service
sweepingly and categorically de-
MED the report, point by point.
EMPHATICALLY DENIED
at Is untrue" he declared
emphatically, that the Holy
See sent any communication or
memorandum, secret or other
wise, to the Japanese hierarchy.
This and related reports diSSem-
mated by an American news
agency (not International News
Service) are pure inventions.
THE vatican's stand against
communism could not have been
more clearly defined than by
the words of the holy father in
his easter encyclical against
communism.
Editors note: 1t Is noteworthy
that in his Easter Encyclical
communism, to which MonSignor
against communism to which Mon
signor Constantine referred, Pope
Plus made not the slightest allu-
sion to any individual nation. In
stead, he called upon all countries
and all governments to prevent,
within their territories the ravages
of the anti-God campaign, which
shakes society to its very founda-
tions." He condemned commu-
nism as "a system full of errors
and sophism.D
ALL WARS OPPOSED
"He takes every opportunity
to point out that in communism
there Is the greatest threat to
peace. But this does not mean
the holy father desires or
approves of war.
This was clearly indicated
a few days ago in an editorial,
inspired by him, which appeared
in Osservatore Romano, in
which President Roosevelt's
declarations against all wars
were declared parallel to those
of the holy see."

SOLID WITH BRITAIN
France, it was stated, has post

Spain-only to keep solid front
with Britain. The cabinet has
approved common action with
London on the Spanish question.
This country and Britain are
both concerned over reports a
Spanish insurgent force, supported
by Italian effectives, is planning
to Invade" the Balearic Island of

is commended, would seriously men
ace British and French trade

thus should be prevented.
