CAPTTAL INSPIRES FIGHT, GRANT SAYS New. York Rector Declares . He-Will Continue to Preach His Thoughts. LEDOUX PICKETS CHURCH “Mr. Zero” Chides Clergyman With Sufferings of Poor in Country. By the Amociated Press,s © * ¢ ¢ XEW YORK, January, The Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney Grant—under fire for alleged heretical utterances— charged in hig sermon at the Protes- tant Episcopal Church of the Ascen- slon yesterday that the fight against him was inspired by capitalistic in- terests, working “under the surface,” Tather than by any true religious zeal 10 purge the church of apostates. Still awaliting the next move of Bishop ‘Willlam T. Manning, whose demand for a recanting of Dr. Grant's previously avowed stand on the Deity of Christ or his resignation, ‘the rec- tor answered with a letter restating his views and making no gesture to- ward resigning, Dr. Grant referred to his_theological views only to say they were the same views he had been expounding, unmolested for forty years Says He Will Continue. He indicated broadly that he in- tended to continue preaching his <onception of a “humanistic” religion ven if he had to ‘“exchange the unmolested, for forty reet corner soap box.” ‘While he voiced his plea for a church that could “talk to mankind everywhere” before a congregation that packed his church as it seldom has been packed before, nine unem- Ploved “sandwich men." marshaled by rban Ledoux—the Mr. Zero of the 1921 unemployment crisis—paraded in & driving snowstorm before the edifice with placards about their necks calling on _the church to espouse the cause of the unfortunate. Placards Chide Rector. “Bishop and Rector,” read on pla- card, “Why Quibble About the Gar- ment? Both Unfrock and Give Us the Naked Truth.” Another, with Grant's sermon—"Under the Surface” ~—blazoned In big black letters across the top read: “If Thou Wouldst Be Perfect, Go Sell That Which Thou Hast and Give to the Poor.” “I Was a Stranger and Ye Took Me Not In,” read another. “Solution of the Economic Problem — Try Christ's Advice to the Rich Young Man,” said still another. Dr. Grant incorporated the pickets in his sermon, referring to them as the text of Dr. “ihose bitter minds that have come | 1o walk before this church, from no one knows where.” NORTH CAROLINA MAN SLAIN AT HIS OWN DOOR: Shot to Death After Having Been Called Out by Unidenti- fied Assassins.

They were away from kgme when the shooting oc- curred. | The fact that thére appar- ently were no eyewitnesses to the killing ‘nakes the affair one of mys- tery. No clue has yet been found by the authorities. The position of the body and how it was dressed gave rise to the opinion that he was sum- moned from the house and shot just as he left the porch. 2 STOP LARKIN'S LECTURE.E Providence Police Refuse to Allow | ex-Convict to Speak.

DEL MONTE, Calif., January 28.— Charles Chaplin and Pola Negri, mo- tion picture stars, announced their engagement at Pebble Beach Lodge, near here, yesterday. They refused to say when they would be married. Chaplin came from Hollywood on a morning train to visit Miss Negri. The actor's train was an hour and a; half late. When it arrived Chaplin did not get off at Del Monte; as @ result a rumor spread that he had come in disguise. It developed he had taken an automobile at a nearby point and motored to Pebble Beach. Later, to assembled newspaper men Mr. Chaplin said, “Yes, we are en- aged.” Miss Negri said so, too. and that ended the interview. The actress will remain at Pebble Beach several days longer and then return to Holly- wood. | i SHIP ADRIFT, SANS FUEL. BOSTON, Mass., January 29.—The| Dollar Line steamer M.
