The rysterious and as yet unex- Plained, absence of a Police Court Juror today interrupted the trial of the four men arrested for illegal sale and possession in the raid on the Am- bassador Oyster House August 3. ‘The trial has been in progress since Tuesday and when it was called today was found that Juryman Charles J. Richardson, 35, of 736 Twelfth street “vas absent.” Court Clerk Karl Sniith nformed Judge Robert E. Mattingly that “some one” had told him Richard- son was sick. When a phone call to his dence revealed that Richardson was not at home, however, Judge Mat- tingly immediately issued a summons for him. Deputy Marshal Edmund Sackey was instructed to serve the summons and | bring Richardson to court unless he was physically unable to be moved. Rich- ardson has given his occupation as a j clerk. - Admit Carrying Sledge Hammers.

Although delays in completing the pilings and foundations for the Internal Revenue Building have been caused by the discovery of artesian wells, present prospects point to completion of the , eontract some time early in December, i 4t was learned today. - ° : ‘The artesian wells, which were struck in various parts of the big site bound- od by Tenth and Twelfth, B and C ! streets, ruined several concrete piles which are now being replaced. The ! wells boiled up through the bottom of the freshly poured concrete in such vol- { ume that they carried the cement out of the gravel at the bof “of, piles to i/ 4fas top, weakeninggghe structure till the i giles were not c@hsidered passable by &e Government engineers in charge.

Miss Elizabeth Mathews of Glendale, Ohio, who was elebted the presiding | officer, told the auxiliary at its oper session yesterday afternoon that “with | women of strong convictions in attend- | ance from every part of the world,”| she hoped for “full, frank and friendly | discussion” of all important matters pending before the body. | Roll call showed present about 500 delegates from nearly every one of | the dioceses throughout the country, | most of them with their full quota | of five.

Hurd, president of | the Women's Auxiliary of Washington | and hostess of the triennial meeting, | was greeted' by a standing audience. During a brief adfress of welcome she had breught to the platform for the use of the presiding officer a chair which was used in the House of Bish- ops in the General Convention of 1871 in Baltimore, when the Women's Aux- iliary was created. This chair is to be- | come the " property of the Washington | Auxiliary. Mrs, ~ McBride of New Orleans acknowledged Mrs. Hurd's address with a tribute to the City of Washington and to ifs auxiliary. The more important of a number of reports which followed were those of Miss Lucy Sturgis, chairman of the| executive board of the auxiliary, and of Miss Grace Lindley, executive secretary. Both paid tribute to the late Miss Emily Tillotson, an educational secretary whose work was widely known in all parts of the country. Increased activity on the part of the women of the church, in missionary projects, in study and edu- cation, in the training of volunteer and professional workers, in co-operating with many forms of social service, and giving assistance to the work of the church especially in rural communities, increased efforts on behalf of religious unity, and increased gifts for many pur- poses were among many subjects dis- cussed in the reports, both of which emphasized the deep needs of the world and the incomparable opportunities of the present time, Tolal Is $121,727.80. The corpofate gift is a special under- taking of the past three years which undertook to secure as special gifts from the women $100,000 for advance mis- sionary projects. The total reported for this gift was $121,727.80, much of which has already been transferred into schools in Kioto, Liberia, Haiti, Alaska, the Philippines and Brazil. The total sum contributed during the past three years through the Woman's Auxiliary for all auxiliary purposes, ie., exclusive of the women's regular con- tributions through their parish churches, was $3,219,267.57. This includes more than $912,000 received in the united thank-offering of the previous trien- aum. Members of the Woman's Auxiliary were accorded official recognition by the House of Deputies for the first ‘time at the opening meeting of that body yesterday. The house voted unanimously to give the dele- gates of the auxiliary the right to the floor and set apart a special section for their accommodation at joint ses- sions of the' Deputies and the House of Bishops. The woman delegates and others at- agent of the District, in his annual re- port for the last fiscal year, made public yesterday by the Commissioners. “While there is no matemal difference in prices between the Government Printing Office_and the commercial printer for the initial set-up and print- ing of a blank form," Hargrove said, “the saving will be effected, if and when reprints of the same form are tending its sessions will be among the guests at the reception this afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock to be tendered by Mrs. Frank ellogg, assisted by the local Woman's® Auxiliary, in honor of the presiding Bishop and Mrs. Murray, the Bishop of Washington and Mrs, Freeman and Miss Lindley.

All of the testimony up to this time has dealt with direct cost entering into reproduction, on which Mr. Luqueer arrived at a total estimate of $15,178,100, and Mr. Wolf, $15,951,160. Other Items Included. The question of reproduction cost, however, also includes other items referred to as indirect costs and work- ing capital. On indirect costs Mr. Luqueer reached a total of $3,851,410, while the commission engineer estimat- ed a total of only $3,192,335. For work- ing cap.e! the company engineer es- timated $1,550,000, while the commis- sion engineer estimated $1,085,735. It was the grand summary of these various divisions which produced the total estimated cost of reproduction previously shown in exhibits of $20,- 579,510 as found by the company engi- neer and $20,220,230 by the commis- sion engineer, or,a net difference of 83!

The dossal behind the Jerusalem altar was of red and gold with valances of black and gold, flanked by riddles, lending a splash of vivid color to the grayness of the massive sanctuary walls. The side chapel altars, similarly hung, had dossals of blue and gold with black and gold valances, and on the Jerusalem altar, adorned with a great cross set off on either side by Eucha c lights, seven-branch candle- sticks and vases of gold, was draped a ;nagnmcimt superfrontal of weblike ace. Against this background the thank offering procession was one of the most impressive ever held in the annals of the cathe: Led by the crucifer and vested choir, and with the American flag and. the cathedral banner held aloft, more than 100 bishops marched in solemn file, inaugurating with their presence the first prayer book service to take place in the choir of the cathedral. The Very Rev. G. C. F. Bratenahl, dean of Washington, was the epistoler today, and Bishop Freeman the gos- | peler, Take Up Ratification. The House of Deputies this morning attacked immediately and rather un- expectedly the long task of ratifying revisions of the Book of Common Prayer which were passed at the 1925 convention. This ratification will com- plete the acceptance of the new prayer book. Judge J. Randolph Anderson of Geor- gia, chairman of the committee on dis- patch of business, declared: “We're not going to waste any time in reminding the delegates that failure to complete revision at this convention would mean another three year’ delay. Judge An- derson warned the delegates that “cer- tain misapprehenstons exist which might throw a monkey wrench into the machinery,” but for the expeditious conduct of business, added that “fire works are to be sidetracked.” He also scored protest circulated since the last convention that some actions of revision were illegal. “You've got to recognize,” he said, “that the things behind you were legally done by the only body which has any ‘authorized voice to say what is legal and illegal— the convention itself.” Bishops Act on Revision. Moving forward swiftly to its imme- diate work in hand, the Bishops in ex- ecutive session also today began its work on revision of the prayer book, in conjunction with the House of Deputies, which is expected to be completed at this convention, three-quarters of the work already having been accomplished. The first item of revisioa under con- sideration was the baptismal office. The recommendations made in the report were approved. E In the absence of the presiding bishop, Right Rev. John Gardner Murray, who aitended the women's presentation serv- ice at the Washington Cathedral, Bishop William A. Leonard of Ohio, presided and read the prayer. The Bishop of Massachusetts, Right Rev. Charles L. Slattery, read the lesson. , A committee from the House of Deputies appeared and reported to the House of Bishops that the deputies were organized and ready for business. Then followed a report from Bishop F. F. Reese of Georgia, chairman of the committee on the dispatch of business. Hours of discussion will be held from 10 am. to 1 pm. daily and from 2:30 to 5 pm. The only other item of his ‘re- port was 4he designation for work to begin on the prayer book revision. Bishop William W. Webb of Milwau- kee presented by title a petition for the erection of a new diocese in Wis- consin, which was referred to the stand- ing committee on new dioceses. A res- olution introduced by Bishop Reese re- lating to the election of a ‘suffragan to the presiding bishop was referred to & special committee to be appointed. Bishop Philip M. Rhinelander, re- tired, of Pennsylvania, presented the report of the commission on deacon- esses and this was ordered placed upon the calendar. Announcement was made today of a communication from the primate of Canada, which conveyed greetings to the General Convention, and a commit- tee will be appointed to frame a reply. Bishop McKim of Tokio offered a res- olution to erect a new missionary juris- . diction in Japan, which was referred to the committee on foreign missions. Heads House of Deputies. ‘The Rev. Dr. Z. B.

Dr. Phillips was supported na the first ballot by most of the Eastery dio- ceses and picked up strength {om the West and Middle West on the uext two ballots. A solution of the problem of the reg- istration of Episcopal Church schools with the educational department of the new Chinese government, upon which the missionary bishops in China are di- vided. was reached at a meeting of the National Council yesterday afternoon in the unanimous adoption of the follow- ing resolution. “Whereas, it is not the function of the church, as it endeavors to make our Lord known in non-Christian lands, to build up a system of purely secular edu- cation; and “Whereas, under the various regula- tions for the registration of schools in China both the academic and religious liberty of the schools is seriously cur- tailed: “Therefore, the National Council considers that the following are essen- tial conditions for the registrations of sehools supported in whole or in part by the aid of the church in the United States, namely: “That nothing in the regulations or other requirements under which regis- tration is to be affected shall: “(a) Forbid an open declaration of the Christian character and purpose of the school. “(b) Involve the surrender of title to or of the control of property. “(c) Impair the authority of the Na- tional Council as trustees, through its representatives in China, to appoint and remove directors of the school, to determine its conduct and to select its principal and faculty.. “(d) Impair the right of the school to teach Christian religion and to pro- vide Christian services as a regular part of the school life. “Whenever the bishop as the repre- sentative in China of the trustees finds that all of the foregoing conditions can be fulfilled, the National Council con- siders that the bishop, with the con- sent of the Council of Advice, would be justified in registering the school.” This action by the council is supple- mentary, but not contrary to its ac- tion of last April, when the bishops of the church in China were informed that it was regarded as inadvisable un- der conditions then existing in China to register the Episcopal schools with the Nationalist department of educa- tion. Members of the national council and the missionary department, and particularly the Right Rev. Frederick Rogers Graves, D. D., Bishop of Shang- hai, and the Right Rev. Logan H. Roots, D. D, Bishop of Hankow, between whom there have been marked differences of opinion with regard to registration, both expressed themselves as satisfled with this new arrangement, which leaves the question of registration largely to the judgment of each individual bishop in conference with his council of advice. Gen. John J. Pershing, who for the past year. has been leading an army of lay workers in a nation-wide cam- paign for the completion and endow- ment of Washington Cathedral, will be the principal guest at a dinner ten- dered by the Cathedral's executive committee at the Carlton Hotel Sat- urday, at which reports on progress made since last October will pre- sented and important plans for action during the coming months discussed. Preparation will be made at the dinner for inaugurating new plans in the Cathedral campaign which has for its immediate objective, as announced last October, the raising of $6,800,000 for the construction and endowment of the choir, crossing, north and south transepts and the north porch of the edifice. Ultimately it is planned to raise a total of $30,000,000 for the com- pletion and endowment of the entire Cathedral and its several assoclated institutions, Urge Christian Unity. Renewed efforts to achieve Christian unity following the World Conference at Lausanne a year ago are urged in the report of the Episcopal Joint Com- mission on Faith and Order, which was presented to the House yesterday. The report is sponsored by Bishop Charles H. Brent of western New York, who presided at the Lausanne Confer- ence. Bishop William T. Manning of New York, president of the commission; Bishop James De Wolf Perry of Rhode Island, its executive secretary; George Zabriskle of New. York, its treasurer; Bishop Thomas F. Gailor of Tennessee, former president of the Episcopal Na- tional Counelil, -and -other noted leaders of the church recommend that the continuation committee, composed of representatives of 100 participating com- munions,” “be informed that in the judgment of the General Convention of the Episcopal Church the World Con- ference should be continued, care being taken to preserve its educational nature by excluding schematic action, and that when the opportune time arrives this church will gladly participate in another meeting of the conference.” The convention is also requested to continue the commission with instruc- tions “to appoint in the near future a special committee of theologians and sv;htolllm, not 15c:l!\nm‘d u').h:ha membet; of the commission, for purpose of assisting t!?;. commission to consider and report to the next General Conven- tion on the Lausanne report, and to confer as opportunity occurs on ques- tions of faith and order with other a letter, police were informed, warning her not to appear.

Discussing the results of this first general world conference on Christian unity, the report of the Episcopal com- mission says: “Considering the numerous differ- ences, some day very acute, which had to be faced, the success of the confer- ence in finally receiving for transmis- slon to the churches six of its reports are registers of discussions rather than committals of the individual members to the specific propositions affirmed in them. They are not transmitted to the churches as formal agreements or resolutions to be ratified, but as material for consideration, discussion, and further conference. It is to be re- membered that the expressed purpose of the world conference which your commission was appointed in 1910 to bring about was educational. Its aim was to promote mutual understand- ing between Christian communions throughout the world, both of their agreements and of their differences. Faithfulness to convictions was clearly promised; and in order that no com- munion might be deterred from send- ing delegates through fear of compro- mising committals, it was stipulated that the conference should be limited to study and discussion without pot er to legislate or to adopt resolutions MRS.

'HOSPITAL INTOKID I NED OF FUNDS St. Luke’s Rebuilding and Enlarging After Earth- quake Losses in 1923. St. Luke's International Hospital, at Tokio, Japan, which is one of the sub- jects to be brought up for discussion at the Episcopal Convention here, is in the midst not only of reconstruction but also of expansion into a project which its backers hope to turn into a great medical center representing an outlay of approximately $5,000,000. + The founder and director, an Ameri- can, Dr. Rudolf Bolling Teusler, for- merly of Virginia, who started the in- stitution 27 years ago, is here to attend the convention, and has already pre- sented an appeal for its support in an address before the great gathering at the Cathedral Close last Sunday after- noon. In a somewhat more detailed expla- nation of the scope and purpose of the institution, the American executive com- mittee for the hospital has made public a statement declaring that the institu- tion in its new form “will be as it is now, in itself a friend, a living, working friend, which by the constantly widen- ing application of its ministry will tend to cement ever more firmly the bonds which unite the nations.” Goal Partly Attained. “The goal of St. Luke's, already partly ::talncd." said the committee, “is de- Jopment into an international medical center, an institution equipped not only to care for the sick but to train nurses and doctors, to educate the public in health matters, to watch over the sani- tation of the city and to act as a center of exchange for medical thought.” Dr. Teusler, the founder, was highly (}raxsed today by Martin Egan of New ork, a member of the American com- mittee. “Dr. Teusler made the institu- tion,” Mr, Egan said in a statement. “Over the years he has contributed his substantial earnings in private practice to the hospital and he has raised up a staff of devoted Japanese doctors who do the same. This contribution of many thousands of dollars annually is unique in a world that has grown gen- erous. The earthquake and fire de- stroyed St. Luke’s. But it started over- night in a tent hospital given by the United States Government on the order of Gen. John J. Pershing, then chief of staff. Gen. Pershing knew the insti- tution from his experience as military attache in the Russo-Japanese War a quartér of a century ago. “Semi-permanent structures replaced the tents, and now it is prepared to build permanently with steel and con- crete and to establish an endowment. Speaking generally, St. Luke’s is a going concern with property and cash totaling in value about $2,500,000, and it is pro- posed to raise an additional $2,500,000 to round out a $5000,000 project. In addition to the funds in hand, the Epis- copal Church has already pledged $50,000 a year until the covering en- dowment s raised. Contracts Are Awarded. “With a million cash in hand con- tracts have been awarded at Tokio for the first of the permanent buildings. Former Attorney General George W. Wickersham, as chairman, and Thomas W. Lamont of J. P. Morgan & Co. as treasurer, head a national American committee organized to secure the ad- ditional $2,500,000, and they have made an encouraging start toward that goal. Necessarily the Episcopal Church is the background for the hospital and its support, but the hospital knows neither creed nor nationality, and the appeal is being made to all our people by a com- mittee composed of all creeds. “St. Luke's does a great work for the Japanese people. For one_ thing, it is training Japanese nurses. It began this work and still leads in it. So impres- sive is this service the Rockefeller or- ganizations have joined substantially in financing it. For another thing, it trains Japanese physicians and surgeons in modern hospital methods, in public health, in hygiene and sanitation. Its maternity work alone is vitally impor- tant. For this reason it is proposed, as a gesture of good will, to make the few St. Luke’s a coronation gift to the Jap- anese people.” The institution has been conducted since its founding in an abandoned Japanese hospital under direction of the National Council of the Protestant Episcopal Church. All but 2 of the 40 doctors on its staff are Japanese, and they include many of the leaders in the medical profession of Japan. All but 5 of its 135 nurses and technicians are also Japanese. On its executive com- mittee and advisory council are to be found some of the most distinguished names in both Japan and the United States. -— BRADLEY FUNERAL RITES.

HOOVER SATISFIED WITH RACE T0 DATE Nominee Refrains From Pro- | phecies, but Holds to Original Strategy. By the Assoclated Press. . ‘While Herbert Hoover engages in no political prophecies, he has informed | his friends that he is satisfied not oni: with the general outlook over the cou:- | try, but also with the manner in which | the major strategy of his own cam-| paign is working out. ‘This strategy has been to confine his addresses to a discussion of the issues and his own philosophy of governmert and to keep clear of personalities and controversies which might obscure what, he regards as the fundamental prin- ciples in which the public is primarily interested. ‘The plan was followed in his pre- convention campaign, and he has adhered to it rigidly since his nomina- tion, although at times there has been no small amount of pressure put upon him to depart from it in specific instances. Silent on Names. Aside from his public addresses, he has made few statements for pullica- tion and only one of these has dealt with claims of the opposition. This was his statement that the Kellogg-Briand treaty constituted the greatest contribu- tion to world peace and was a_complete answer to the charge of the Democrats that the Republican party had done little in the cause of peace. Not once since the campaign opened | has Hoover mentioned in an address or public statement the name of his Demo- cratic opponents, and only upon a very few occasions has he referred to the Democratic party or the opposition. This in itself is”somewhat unusual in political campaigns. ‘While Hoover himself has confined | his efforts to outlining his position and that of his party, Republican leaders have been active in replying to the as- saults which have been made on the party record. Cabinet officers, Senators and others are stumping the country in person or by radio replying to Gov. | Alfred E. Smith and other chieftains | of the opposition party. Four More Speeches.
