RICHMOND CONTROVERSY
REVIVED BY NEW LETTER
Doctor Richmond Advises Bishop
Further of Members' Dismissal.
The rtov. Gcorgo Chalmers Richmond,
rector of St. John's Episcopal Church,
today Bent Bishop nhlnolandcr n letter
explaining further his reasons for dis
missing Charles A. Brown and William
T. Hamilton from membership In tho
church. This notion opens tho contro
versy between Jlr. Richmond nnd his
opponents, who are trying to have him
removed from tho rectorship.
Tho clergyman gavo notlco to tho two
members, who were also vestrymen of
the parish, that ho had dismissed them
some time ago. and nt tho sumo time
gave Bishop Rlilnclander his reasons In n
15-page letter. After a consideration of
tho letter, the bishop notified tho rector
that ho had declared the notlco of dis
missal null nnd void.
Mr. Richmond said that tho bishop took
Ms action becauso of a technicality and
he has now written another letter In tho
hope that Bishop Rhlnctnndcr will uphold
his action In erasing tho namc3 of Mr.
Brown nnd Jlr. Hamilton from tho mem
bership records.
CORONER SCORES HOSPITALS
Must Not Issue Death Certificates
After Fatnl Injuries, Deputy Says.
Hospitals In gcnernl, nnd tho University
Hospital In particular, were severely
scored today by Chief Deputy Coroner
Arthur Sellers for Issuing certificates of
death in Injury enses. The law states,
Mr. Sellers pointed out, that no certifi
cate must be Issued In cases where death
Is due to Injuries. Thcso must be handed
over to the Coroner's offlce.
"Wo have mado up our minds," Jlr.
Sellers added, "that the hospitals shall
cbey tho law. and unless they do here
after, we will mnko them parties to tho
crime. In any caeo where death Is duo
to Injury of nny kind the hospital must
not Issuo a. certificate. It Is not for tho
phislclan to dccldo whether tho Injury
and subsequent death was accidental or
rimlnal. Tho Board of Health always
holds up certificates Issued In cases
where death tesults from Injuries. It
only means greater dltllculty for us In
obtaining evidence nnd Inconvenience
for tho deceased family for tho hospital
tn close the matter by Issuing the cer
tificate "
Tho Inquests today were conducted by
Mr. Sejlers. It wns while hearing tho
case of Bertha II. Shnrplcss, SS, 3915
Ealtlmoro avenue, who died In tho Uni
versity Hospital on Sunday from Injuries
received tho week before, that ho ar

DANCES FOR SUFFRAGE
NEW CAMPAIGN MOVE
Dansant at Hotel Aldinc Today
for Benefit of the Cause.
Oak Lane Takes Up Idea.
Suffragists have added danclns to Ihslr
long list of varied entertainments and
ways of winning converts to the "oauss."
At one tlmo It was considered among the
suffrago workers that tho only way In
which to gain support was to gather to
gether an assembly of persons on a street
corner or In a hall and then "read a lec
ture" on suffrago to them.
As tho only way to win converts, tills
has not been followed. Innovations, such
as teas, card and theatre parties, etc.
havo been adopted. In tho future the
workers will, give dances to ensnare into
tho votcs-for-women web those who lovo
the tcrpsichorcan art.
This afternoon members of the Woman
Suffrage party Shop Committee will holl
a dansant at tho Hotel Aldinc, 19th and

NEW ENGLAND SUFFRAGISTS

and Play "Newsic" to Sell It.
BOSTON. April 17. Two hundred of the
most prominent women suffragists of
New England edited and Issued a special
suffrage edition of tho Boston American
todny. Tho edition was In ohnrge of such
well-known lenders as Julia Latin op,
Theresa Crowley and Alice Stono Bfcick
wolt. Governor David I. Wnlsh gavo this
statement to the suffragists:
I urge a full nnd complete discussion
of this most important question, in
order that the electorate may render
nn Intelligent verdict nt tho polls next
November. My respect for the ability
and patriotism of the women of
Massachusetts makes It impossible for
mo personally to argue that It they
deslro tho ballot they nro not as much
entitled to It as wo men arc.
Tho women sold tho paper on tho
streets, In the hotels nnd In railroad ter
minals. It Is expected n large fund will
bo raised toward the suffrago campaign

Deaths Feared in Mine Explosion
WILLIAMSON, W. Va., April 17. A
rescue party of five sent Into tho No. 1
mine of tho aDvy, Pocahontas Coal Com
pany, at Davy, McDowell County, soon
after an explosion today, has not been
heard from, nnd It Is feared they nnd
possibly others have perished.
The Pen and the Sword
Mr. Warwick Deeping has never quite
fulfilled tho promlso of his "Uther and
Igraine." Ilia latest novel, "Marriage
by Conquest" (McBrlde, Nast & Co.,
New York), however, measures nearer
his best achievement than any of tho
Intervening stories. Once It seemed as
If Mr. Deeping were to bo another Mau
rice Hewlett, but that possibility has
passed.
None tha less, In "Marrluge by Con
quest" we have a dashing romance of
Sussex squires In a gallant, older day.
The period Is realized in historical detail
and social manners; Indeed, here, as In
"Uther and Igralne," Mr. Deeping seems
to have the faculty of Interpreting the
moods of other days In terms of ours.
"Marriage by Conquest" Is not a his
torical romance in strict classification;
rather It Is a comedy of manners. In Ac
tion form, of the time of hard-drinking,
hard-hitting gentry. The pot reduced
to simple outline Is an exposition of Bui
wer Lytton'a phrase. "The pen Is might
ier than the sword." A burly squire Is
vanquished In the contest for tha hand
of tho lovely widow of Shenstono by a
mere scholar. But that Isn't all there
Is to It, for there are passages militant
and passages sentimental In the course
of this swiftly and vividly told book-sword-play,
strange oaths, sentimental
scenes galore.

AMONG THE
H. G. WELLS
The nuthor of "Benlby" (Mnc-
millan), ns seen by tho British
caricaturist Simpson.
Ruggles
Hnrry Leon Wilson's mastery of humor
has been proved again In "Buggies of
Bed Gap" (Doublcday, I'ago & Co.).
About tho first thing that comes to mind
in leading the book Is the admission,
grudging at first, that "It's as funny ns
'Bunker Bonn,' " tho Inst book by this
nuthor.
Tho great American gnmo of "drawing
poker" was responsible for Buggies, nn
English valet, coming to the "Savannahs
of tho States," or "The Wilds of North
America." In brief, his master, the
Honorable George, lost him to a rich
American, whose wlfo had social aspira
tions. She also happened to lmvc a
cousin, Egbert, who needed polishing.
To Buggies was Intrusted the task of
doing It.
One of the most Interesting discussions
In the book Is between the fair lender
of the Bohemian set nnd tho brother of
tho llouornhlo George. It concerns tho
uso of the "double what." George,
ejaculating, used tho single "what." Ills
brother always said, "What what."
Of course, there Is n love Intel est In
tho book, plenty of It. Mr. Wilson might
havo culled his novel "The Making of u
Citizen." becnuso Buggies tnke-4 out
naturalization papers long before he
reaches the ."."1st page Hint ends tho
book. Thcie are nlso hints for the busi
ness man who thinks of opening a
restaurant.
To King Albert
and the Belgians
That remirkablo collection of tributes
by writers, composers and artists to tho
heroism of Belgium. "King Albert's
Bi'ok," has nt last b"en printed for Amer
ican circulation by Hearst's International
I.Ibinry Company. Like all such compo
sitions. It was bound to contain n mix
ture of good and not so good; but the
avcrago Is high. Though Shaw, Barrie
nnd Wells are lncklng, the editor. Hall
Calne, has acquitted himself remarkably
well of what must havo been no easy
task. His only lapse In good tasto seems
to have been the reservation for the last
place, immediately following Ills own
sonnet, of a note from Maeterlinck nd
diesscd to the editor nnd praising his
preface.
Tho authors carry off the gloilcs.
Arnold Bennett has a vivid littlo sketch;
Cl.esteiton makes a characteristic contri
bution, In which the Germans are de
scribed ns converting Belgium into tho
largest window in the world. Botli Win
ston Churchllls are present, surrounded
by all the political notables of England.
Men whoso excellent work Is seldom scon
by English eyes, Brncco and Donuy, for
Instance, graco tho pages. Ellen Key and
Jack London nro both present. Bomaln
Holland and Bostand touched tho heights
for Franco. And If wo proceed further
down the Index we encounter E. II.
Sothern, our own actor, ns well as Sir
Herbert Tree, the English player.
DebUBsy, Elgar, German and Mcs
sager havo contributed music to tho glory
of the Belgians. Backham, Dulac. our
own Flagg. Gibson and Fisher have drawn
Belgium's sorrow or Belgium's dellance.
It is only a pity one or two artists
merely turned Bomo painting on another
subject over to the editor with a dedica
tion. But the Intent Is there still, tho
wish, tho Inspiration. It is all Belgium's.

Frank Harris and Love
t No one can say that Frank Harris
hasn't n large and decidedly healthful In
terest In sex. Of the It stories In "The
Veils of Isla" (George It. Doran Com
pany, New York), only one of them
doesn't turn on the love relations of
men and women. It that exception dealt
deliberately with a humnn being for
whom tho lusts of the flesh nnd tho sym
pathies of tho BOtil did not come as a
great rending storm, then It might bo
tho exception necessary to tho ncccptanco
of the rule As a. story of n medical
operation, it happens to he an accident.
The rest drag tho pool of sex and bring
to tho surface beauty nnd horror, but nl
wnys strength. Lovo Is neither pnthology
nor tltlllntlou to Mr. Harris. He nvolus
autopsies nnd aphrodisiacs and embraces
tho commonplace humanity of n strniuht
stnro and a keen understanding I to
ndmlts frankly the overpowering fnsclnn
tlon nnd Importance of sex, studies It
with the Interest we all feel, nnd records
his results nB nn nrtlst.
As for the stories themselves Thcro
is n poetizing tale of the norshlp of Isis
In old Kgypt; n littlo ntisslnu realism
from which the piny of the same title,
"Tho Yellow Ticket," mny have sprung!
a rather stupid ititcrnntionnl nllegory de
rived from the bnrnynrtl; three pointed
littlo playlets, Including one for which
Rabelais would bo the ideal Brondwny
adapter; a Chinese horror; nn ncutc littlo
discussion of Continental nnd English
love; n vlbrnnt study of n French artist
nnd a renlly powerful nnalysls of the
eternnl polygon, nn unmarried woman
and tho men about her. Altogether "Tho
Veils of lsis" shares with Conrad's "Set
of Sixth" the distinction of being the
most entertaining nnd mentally Invigorat
ing set of short stories of the year.
Success for Our Young Men
Klmcr K. Kcrrls lias translated Orison
Snolt Mnrden Into terms of fiction nnd
the trnnslntlon Is called "The Business
Adventures of Billy Thomas" (The Mnc
iiilllnn Company, .Vow York). Tills book
should prove n good "pony" to tho great
book of success for those squnrc-chinncd,
keen-eyed young men whose Ideal Is
cummerce. not romance, nnd for whom
the popular weeklies provide "selling
t&lks," eulogies of success ntid disserta
tions on the vnlue of advertising. They
nie so well cared for thnt they must bo
many, and every one will delight In every
pngo of "The Business Adventures of
Billy Thoinns." And they won't be
hnrmed clthtr, for tho cbnptcrs will
counteract n tendency of this type to
apotheosize J. Itufus 'Wnlllngrord or some
of his replicas. Tho chapters recounting
the young hero's success In populating
his pay envelope with additional dollars
fiom tlmo to time, which Is not a bad
Ideal at all If legitimately consummated,
nro Informative nnd Instructive, even in
spiring for tho especial public for which
tho book is designed. It lacks graces of
style, but Its public will not care for
felicitous diction when It may be having
helpful bints on putting across bills of
goods or be pecking Into the "psj etiol
ogy" of practical business. Hvcn nn
nttnbillous reviewer of books, who
couldn't sell anything, can realize that
tho principles and theorems laid down by
Mr. Kcrrls, under their thin veneer of
fiction, sound logical. Doubtless tho
practical person who mints common
sense Into dollars will find them val
uably useful.

routine and discipline really leave him
handicapped In his strugglo with the out
side forces.
Donald t.owrio In ".My Iife Out of
Prison" (Mitchell Kenncrly. Now York),
knows whereof he speaks. After 10 years
In Han Qucntlu prison he Is released on
parole. If a petty theft brought him be
hind tho bars, how much stionger Influ
ences than "being broke" ho will need
t'j koer him safely out? For now he has
not only the laws and regulations of the
peaceful to follow, but endless lulcs ap
plicable to paroled prisoners. And,
worst of all, he has been everlastingly
dlsgiaced uud morally weakened by tho
realization thnt he has been found guilty
nnd sentenced, and that to an ex-convict
few Jobs are open. Still, lie must live.
Lowrlo depicts his own struggles with
these conditions, and the experiences
with others of his branded class corrob
orate his own. The uairatlvo spcaKs
truthfully, sincerely nnd simply. And
even the thoughtless will admit a fault
in the si stem of "Just punishment"
which not 011I3 falls In Its cure, but In
creases tho susceptibility. Some assur
ance of a living, some sort of an ngcuc3'
of employment, would help the freed
man to feel courage and Ktnblllty. Such
a system Is tho ver3" least that the fol
lowers of law and Juslce can do for tho
weak ones In soclcts-. Mr. Lowrle pre
sents this caso with undeniable convic
tion. MODKHN DANCING

discuss this important subject
intelligently and with authority.

Two Special Articles
By Joseph Jackson
"Early Advertising in Philadelphia" revives the
work of William Bradford, founder of German
town and the first printer of the middle Colonies.
This article also includes a concise account of the
famous "Germantown Book," by Francis Daniel
Pastorius, which induced hundreds of desirable
Germans to settle in and about Germantown.
"Joe Miller and His Immortal Jokes" is another
contribution by Mr. Jackson. Here is a complete
story of the methods and characteristics of the
alleged father of English humor, as collected by
Mottley. Many extracts? from the "Joke Book"
are included.
"The Boy Doctor's
Wonderful
Achievement"
Plotz, 25, M. D., and dis:
coverer of a little genii
with a big name. The
New Jersey boy's re
markable isolation of the
dreaded typhus germ is
told in Sunday's Ledger.
Why
Johnson is in
Exile From America
By William H. Rocap
The ex-champion and man without a country
discusses this delicate subject for the first time
and declares that powerful influences hint
strongly at immunity if he will come back and
"get" the "men higher up." William H. Rocap
tells you the whole story, just as he got it in a
two-hour private talk with Johnson and his wife
at Havana.
The Braves Will Repeat
That's the positive declaration of George Stal
lings. The Miracle Man tells George E. McLinn,
of the Public Ledger sports staff, his reasons for
believing Boston will surely win the 1915 pen
nant. In this article Stallings also picks the best
first basemen in the major leagues.
