PARENTS PROTEST SCHOOL BUS UE Deny Driver of Pupil Vehicle Displays Proper Tags. ey ‘The battle of Seabrook, Md., parents to reopen the school in the little Mary- land community, and in the meantime make more effective their boycott against the Lanham School, to which the children have been assigned, took a new turn yesterday when the protesting | parents sought the intervention of the Maryland State police to stop operation of the bus engaged to haul former pu- pils of the Seabrook School back and forth each day to Lanham. They reported Tom Halley of Lanham was operating the bus without meeting the requirements of the law with re- | spect to “hiring tags,” and a State po- | liceman was sent out to investigate. Halley was using a roadster yesterday in his run back to Seabrook, carrying only three little passengers, the police said, and when he was stopped, he in- formed police, they added, that he had “intended to get the tags,” so they let him continue with a warning. Police deny that he was “arrested” and said he weuld be given ample time, as is usually the case, to comply with the law. Pending their appeal to Gov. Ritchie to reopen the Seabrook School, which was closed recently as a result of con- solidating it with the school at Lanham, the boycott is still being pressed, al- though it shows signs of weakening. Most of the 20 pupils of the Seabrook School are said to be attending classes nearby at Glendale. In the absence of Nicholas Orme, county superintendent of schools, it could not be learned today whether these pupils would be permitted to continue at the Glendale School. Policeman Files $25,000 Claim. * Edward D. Healey, & policeman at- tached to the third precinct, today sued Ralph W. Hill. whose addresses are given as 3327 N street and_the State Department, in the Circuit Court for $25,000 damages for alleged personal injuries. The plaintiff in his declara- tion, filed by Attorney William Wen- dell, alleges that an automobile driven by the defendant struck him while he was standing on the curb at Twentleth and M streets on April 23 last. New York J. B. JONES & CO. DEPOSED EPISCOPAL BISHOP IN PLEA FOR REINSTATEMENT Rev. William Brown Says Charge of Heresy Was Not Based on Facts. Declares No Specific Law of Church Violated by His Utterances. Rev. William Montgomery Brown of Galion, Ohio, former Episcopal Bishop of Arkansas, who was tried for heresy and deposed from his office by the House of Bishops at the General Con- vention in New Orleans three years ago, has addressed an appeal for rein- statement to the General Convention, which will convene here October 10. Rev. Mr. Brown, who now is a bishop of the Old Catholic Church, does not modify in his appeal his support of the alleged heretical doctrines for which he was tried, but maintains that no specific law of the church was broken. He was deposed from the office of bishop in 1925 by a vote of 95 to 11. “I accept full respg;)sébmty for every quotation from my k upon which the verdict was based,” the deposed bishop says in this appeal. “I plead only, in each instance, that I shall be informed wherein the heresy lies, Propounds Queries on Doctrine. “Is it that I reject, as the leading spokesmen of our church have come to reject, the miraculous origin of Jesus? Is it that I reject his deity, as =0 many other of our leading spokes- men do? Or is it that I express some doubt as to the real existence of Jesus in history? 1Is it possible that I am the only bishop in the church who entertains such a doubt? Am I to un- derstand that admission to the Protest- ant Episcopal Church is dependent upon one’s answer to a historical prob- lem upon which the greatest historians are unable to agree? Is it heretical to go to history for the answer to a his- torical problem? Is it heretical to go to biology for an answer to a biological problem? And to sociology for the answer to a sociological problem? And to psychology for the answer to a psychological problem? “That is what I have done. That is the only real charge that has been brought against me.

All he sought was to prove that they were at variance with the prayer book. And so they are, literally. It took no trial to bring that out. But what if they are? Is it the decree of this church that Episcopalians shall make no dis- coveries in any branch of science which are not literally in harmony with all, or with any one, of our ancient formulas? If all, I ask that the pro- nouncement be made. If one. will the church please state which one? Problem Confronted at Trial. “That is the dilemma of this trial. ‘The church must make its choice. If the church pursues the course indi- cated by the prosecution, and pursues it courageously, it thus served notice on the world that no one is welcome with pearl buttons. tones and blue.

Literally he re- Jects every one of the ancient, super- naturalistic dogmas. The General Con- vention must either give him what he has thus far not had, a real trial for he or the church must abandon that position which is a red stain on its history and is so sadly inhibiting its usefulness today. “The House of Bishops has not tricd me—for finding a man guilty of break- ing a law which cannot be stated surely cannot be termed a trial. Since the House of Bishops did not really try me I ask the General Convention to rein- state me.” Submits Three Memorials. Bishop Brown's appeal contains thrce memorials presenting the evidence in favor of his alleged heretical opinions-- one addressed to the Review Court, onc to the House of Bishops and one to the House of Deputies. “This book,” he says in his preface, dated at Galion, Ohio, September 4, is my appeal to the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States for reinstatement to membership in its House of Bishops, lost because of the outcome of a so- called trial for heresy on account of the teaching of 23 passages in my book, Communism and Christianity, which were alleged to be contrary to the doctrine of the church. But I have done all in my power to make its ap- peal of equal interest to the rank and file of this church, also to all orthodox and uncrthodox Christians—indeed, to all votaries of every supernaturalistic interpretation of religion and even to f | infidels and atheists.” “Whoever reads the book through,” he said, “will see it as clearly as he ever saw anything by the light of the sun on a cloudless day.” THE VELVET SPORTS JACKET $5.00 TICKETS ALLOTTED INORATORY FINALS Advanced Students in For- eign Languages in D.

Similarly the faculty of the school, which instructs foreigners in the gov- ernment of this Nation as it prepares them to become naturalized citizens, are following the contest with interest and plan to accompany their students to the meet.
