NG RTAR. WABHINGTON, DAPELED BISHDP PLANNING BATILE Rev. W. M. Brown Will Seek | Reinstatement After Seven Years. By the Associated Press. ! GALION, Ohio, May 9.—Secluded from all but a few o: his fellow towns- | men in his 10-room house where he lives with his wife and writes prolif- feally for the cause of labor, Rev. Wil liam Montgomery Brown, 74, plans an- other nt}er}?pt to free himself of the stigma of heresy. e is going before the House of Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church next October to ask acceptance back into their fold for the rest of his declining ycars. He wants to be rein- stated, yet still adhere to his liberal views on such subjects as evolution, creation and divinity. Since he was expelied and the title of bishop taken from him seven years ago, he has written a half dozen books for the cuuse of labor. He plans two more. In addition, he writes numerous articles for labor magazines. Arises at 2 AM. Daily. Although frail after a considerable loss of weight in recent years, he arises daily at 2 am,, to to his little brick office at the rear of his home to study and write until 5 or 6 am., when he breakfasts. After breakfast he dictates until noon to a stenographer, and from noon to 5 p.m. sleeps. He arises for dinner, takes a little recreation and re- tires for the night at 8:30 or 9 p.m. His recreation consists mostly of driv- ing his automobile with his wife sitting in the rear seat. He receives but few visitors and never attends church. As retired Bishop of Arkansas, he was brought to trial for heresy shortly after he published his book, “Communism and Christianity.” The trial took place at the Trinity Cathedral where he was christened, confirmed and | ordained, and where he preached his | first sermon. i First Convicted Bishop. His conversion to liberal religious views cam‘e"rudu-lly as he read books of such ters as Darwin, Spencer, Haeckel and Karl Marx. He came to re- gard the miracles of the Bible as myths and the story of Christ as a survival of iganism. His trial attracted wide at- 'ntion. He was the first bishop in America to be convicted of heresy. He appealed to the Court of Review of the church, but the conviction was up- held. Despite the conviction he main- tains his right to retain the title of bishop with the bellef that once a man is consecrated no one can take the title from him. BONES OF ARMADILLO FOUND IN FLORIDA @iant Beast Armored Like War Tank Roamed Jungles of State 40,000 Years Ago. in Cleveland BRADENTON, Fla., (#)—An extinct | beast armored like a miniature war tank | moved through the Florida jungles 40.000 years ago. It was the giant arma- dillo, whose hide was biteproof. Parts of its armor and bones and teeth have been discovered near here by Walter W* Holmes, field worker in paleontology for the American Museum of Natural History, and -his associate, James E. Moore of Sarasota. This is the first specimen ever found of a new genus of armadillos, and has been named Holmesina Septentrionalis, in honor of Mr. Holmes., ‘The hard, bony plates that covered the glant armadillo’s bach were flexible s the chain mlil or King Arthur's knights. When danger threatyned the | %animal could roll up in ® ball that, was tough enough to discourage even the saber-toothed tiger, which also lived in “Florida in those days. * ln{ludln. its tail the giant armadillo, must havs been nearly six feet long and as large around as a man, says Holmes.

There are no arma- dillos in Florida today. ‘The ancestors of the giant armadillo, scientists believe, migrated from South Amergca to Florida after the Isthmus of Panama rose from the sea and con- nected the continents a million or more years ago. 100 IN COSTUMES PLAN PART IN MAY FESTIVAL Crowning of Queen and Maypole| Dance Features of American University Scene.
