NEW YORK, Msrch 24 (P).—Right Rev, Herbert Shipman, Episcopal suf- | fragan bishop of New York, and a vet- eran of the World War, died suddenly terday at the dinner table in his fie of a heart ailment. He was 60' ) years old. As chaplain of the 27th Division dur- $ng the war, he lost an eye and was gamed, four years ago he suffered a nervous breakdown, but recently had been considered in better health. Mrs. Shipman Collapses. At the chapel of the Intercession yes- | terday morning he confirmed 120 per- | »sons. He returned home apparently in good health, but was stricken suddenly.

His only brother, Raymond Gold Shipman, died several years ago. The death of Bishop Shipman came s a great blow to his many friends, mot only in clerical, but in lay circles, including members of all creeds. Soldiers of the regiments with which he served in the A. E. F., held him in the greatest reverence, and one of Bish- op Shipman's most prized possessions was a letter of affection and admiration bearing the signature of every man in one of these regiments. Many times during his life Bishop Shipman expressed & desire to be buried | at West Point, a spot that was always especially dear to him. That wish will be carried out after funeral services at noon tomorrow in the Cathedral of St. .Yo’l:n the Divine. Burial will be pri- vate. Became Bishop in 1921, Bishcp Shipman was born in Lexing- fon, Ky., on August 3, 1869. His father, Rev. Jacob Shipman, later became | _ Yector of Christ Protestant Episcopal Church in New York. Young Mr. Shipman was educated at Columbia University and the General Episcopal Theological Seminary, Chelsea Square, being graduated from the former in 1890 and from -the latter in 1924. At Columbia he was class poet and was also active in track athletics. He was ordained a deacon in 1894 and was advanced to the priesthood a year later by the late Bishop Henry Codman Potter. He spent the first period of his ministry as assistant rector at Christ Church. _In 1896 President Cleveland appointed him chaplain at West Point and he was reappointed by President McKinley and President Roosevelt. In 1905 Dr. Shipman became assist- ant rector to the late Dr. D. Parker Morgan, then rector of the Church of the Heavenly Rest. When Dr. Morgan resigned in 1907, Dr. Shipman became Pector. On April 19, 1899, Dr. Shipman mar- ried Miss Julie Fay Bradley. Served in World War. In 1916 Dr. Shipman returned to the Army and served on the Mexican border as well as in the World War.

As a result of the tremendous in- crease in public interest in gliding, the aeronautics branch of the Department of Commerce is preparing to go into the entire question of powerless flying to develop uniform knowledge and pro- cedure and to promote safety in this scientific sport. A conference of supervising inspec- tors and engineering inspectors of the branch, now located in various parts of the country, will be called in this city within the next few days, it was announced today by Clarence M. Young, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautics, to consider the subject.of flight characteristics and structural strength of gliders now being manu- factured in this country. “All available data on the subject of gliders,” it was stated by Gilbert G. Budwig, director of air regulations of the aeronautics branch, “will be centralized in Washington, where it will be examined, studied and discussed by our field inspectors who will be called here for that purpose. “While most of our inspectors are familiar with the construction, per- formance and operation of gliders, yet the popular interest in gliding is spreading so rapidly that- there is need for umform knowledge and procedure in order to develop and ‘expand this scientific sport to the. highest degree of safety.” It is planned to have at the confer- ence several types of gliders, which will be representative of* those being produced throughout the country, Mr. Budwig sald. These gliders will be studied by the inspectors from the standpoint of flight characteristics, structural strength and methods of launching. - “It is anticipated,” Mr. Budwig said, “that much constructive information will be gained from the conference which will enable the aeronautics branch to assist materially in further- ing the glider movement and especial- ly toward promoting safety in glider operation.” — MRS.

THE EVENING BYRNS PREDICTS DEMOGRATIC GAIN Declares Fall Elections Will Give Party Control of House. By the Assoc'ated Press. The flat prediction that President { Hoover will face the problem of dealing with a_Democratic controlled House | during the last two years of the pres- ent administration was made. yesterday by Representative Byrns of Tennessee. chairman of the Democratic congres- sional commit:ee. The assertion was based upon a poitical survey conducted by Byrns, who predicted the Democrats would increase their, number in the House in the Fall elections by 70 members. With the 165 members now, they need but 53 additional votes to give them a total of 218 seats in the House of 435 mem- bers. The Republicans now have a ma- jority of 102, with 1 Farmer-Laboror and several vacancies “Not only will the Democrats rega: vey made we conservatively estimate that we will gain 70 seats, and there is an excellent possibility of our taking 20 more.” Claims Dissatisfaction, Byrns declared that the failure of the administration’s efforts to successfully carry out one major project within an entire year, the economic depression, the obvious failure of the London Arms Conference, and Nation-wide unem- ployment. conditions have created dis- satisfaction throughout the country and the voters will register their protest this Fall.” Noting that it was customary for the Democrats to “stage a comeback in off-year elections,” Chairman Snell of the House rules committee said the Democrats would regain between 30 and 40 seats. Snell sald that the Repub- licans now held approximately that number which normally were in the Democratic column. However, he added, the Democrats were e to lose some seats now held, and ast that Re- publican control of the House would continue during the last two years of the Hoover administration. Looks for General Gains. ‘The Democrats, Byrns said, would gain seats largely in the Northern, Midwestern and Western States, in addition to those expected to be re- gained in the Southern and political border States. “New England States, particularly Massachusetts and Connecticut, Penn- sylvania, New Jersey, Ohlo, Indiana, Illinols, several Western States and California and Washington,” Byrns said, “undoubtedly will send Democrats to the Seventy-second Congress instead of ¥ iblicans. We will regain the seats lost North Carolina, Virginia, Ken- tucky and Oklahoma, and will pick up in Utah and several scattered seats.” EMPLOYE COMPENSATION CHAIRMAN WILL SPEAK Mrs. Brueggeman to Be Heard on Program of Fourth Repub- lican School. * ‘Mrs. Bessie Parker Brueggeman, chairman of the United States Em- ployes’ Compensation Commission, will be & speaker on the program of -the Fourth Republican 8School, scheduled to meet at the Willard Hotel the week Administering three compensation acts, involving the Federal Government, private industry operating on govern- mental waters and private industry in the District, the United States Em- ployes’ Compensation Commission su- employes.

FAIRFIELD, Tex., March 24— | Named by Miss Wilma Jones, 23, as the man who attempted to burn her to death in a hotel room, Tom Dodd, 30, has been spirited from jail here by Texas rangers, who refuse to announce his whereabouts. The rangers did not explain the reason for their act. Dodd attempted to burn her alive when she told him she would inform officers he had received part of the pro- ceeds from a forged check, the young woman said. After long questioning last night the girl admitted a previous story—that she id not recognize her assailant—was false. The rangers said Miss Jones de- clared G. S. Moore, wealthy Oakwood business man, charged with arson in connection with the case, did not set the fire and did not have the crime committed. Miss Jones, bound and gagged, was rescued from the room Wednesday night by the hotel proprietor. She was not burned. Moore was arrested and re- Jeased on $1,000 bond. The girl, whose home is in Oakwood, was in Fairfield for trial on charges of forging the mer- chant’s name to several checks. She ad- mitted writing the checks to obtain money to defray expenses of an opera- tion from which she still is recovering, Miss Jones declared. Dodd and his mother, Mrs. Sarah Jane Dodd, were charged as accessories with the girl in the forgery. MINISTER DISAPPEARS Posse of 400 Searchers Fear Bel | Fell Over Precipice. | SYLVA, N.
