HERE FLATLY DENIED
Clarence C. Brinton Defines
Episcopal Convention JReport
as 'Mountain From Molehill'
Clarence C Ilrlnton, of (Srnnnnlnwn,
n member nf the KpWropnl diocesan
roinmlttee on ilrrlcnl salnrirs, today
denied that his committee had made any
radical recommendations,
Mr. Urintgn'H remarks followed nn
attack upon n majority report of the
committee, made by the Itcv. Dr. Ttob
ert Johnston, of the Church of the
Saviour, Thirty-eighth and Chestnut
streets. The West Philadelphia rector
declared that he saw hi the recommen
dations to the diocesan convention
danger of "ecclesiastical kniserism."
"This is making n mountain out of a
molehill, " Sir. Nrinton said. "I did
Jiot particularly uniit to be quoted in
this connection, but I nee there "has
been some misstatement as to what
actually -was done by the committee.
Suggestions wcie made to the committee
involving changes, it is true, but these
were incorporated only as suggestions),
as, for instnee, that of centralizing
church funds."
In this Doctor Johnston professed to
fee n leaning toward iccall of rectors
nnd dictation to vestries in the con
trol of their individual ihurrh policies.
Mr. ltrintnn, Oeoigc K. Ciozer, Jr.,
Lawrence .1. Morris iihd William II.
Iteeves constituted the committee mnk
ing the majority leport.
Distortion, Sajs Mr. Ililnloii
In discussing this report, Mr. Urin
ton said: "1 feci it ought to be made
plain that theie has been a distortion of
what actually was lerommended by the
committee. We felt very much that
there should be a change in the method
of administering finances with relation
to rectors' salaries, and that a com
mittee composed of laymen nnd the
clergy could deal much more fairly by
these problems than u committee of lay
nienonly. I!ecaue of this, four sug
gestions made to the committee wcie
incorporated merely as suggestions, and
not as recommendations.
"Two propositions were up for our
consideration, namely, immedinte le
lief of the underpaid clergymen and
the method 1 which this was to be
arrived at. We did not feel that it is
fair for a rleigjmim who is underpaid
and cannot lie relieved to hae to de
pend on la; men alone.
Limited Tenure Not Indorsed
"Also, theie was tin- question of
tenure. 1 he proposition of limited
tenure was not indorsed, but was dis
cussed as having its bearing on the
problem, and so prevented in the leport.
AVe did feel that the liiesent svstcm
was wiong, and should not be permitted
to continue. It was held that some
other way of getting iclease from a
charge other than through the em
barrassing canonical procedures now in
force should be afforded.
"We distinctly stated that we sub
mitted the suggestions only ns such and
not with our deliuite recommendations
as to their uppiovnl. It seems that u
mountain has been made out of n mole
hill iu tho matter."
No, "ecclesiastical kaiicrism,"
No limited tenure of office for Epis
copal rectors.
No "recall" of rectors, or dictation to
vestries in their selection.
If a limited tenure of office is to be
applied to rectors in the diocese of
Pennsylvania, why not n limited tenure
of office for bishops V
These questions were asked by Doctor
Johnston in commenting upon the re
port of the committee.
The report pronounced the present
system of electing rectors by vestries
"defective," and advocated n "radical
departure fioni prc-cn methods,"
"closer relation between the i lergy and
parishes and of both to Ujp bishop nnd
the convention" nnd "the pnnient of
nil clcricnl s.ih '-. from some central
diocesan fund."
The cotiveutinn authorized the ciea
tjou of a committee to consider the ques
tion of clerical salaries, but eliminated
nil, reference to tho iclationship "he
tweeu clergj and pirislics and bishop
nnd convention""in the matter of rhoos
inyr pastors.
Doctor Johnston's Attach
"This report." said Doctor Johnston,
'favored the abolition of the right of
election of rectors by the laymen of the
parishes. It would leave the pjwer of
appointment iu the hands of the con
Tention in conjunction with the bishop.
Wherein is n uumber of men appointed
(by the convention superior to a num
ber of men appointed by, n congregation?
How would this cqmmlttee of busy men
fortify itself with the local knowl
edge necessary for n wise choice? Ob
viously they would depend on the bishop
who Is associated with (hem. The IiIh
tory of personal appointments in this
way does not encourugo ouy confidence
in the weird proposnl to extend it. On
Monday, at the Clerical Brotherhood,
I opposed this suggestion, snying it
wns a departure from democracy and
the creation of nu autocracy out of
keeninir with the snlrit of America and
tending to nn eclesiustfeal kuisetisin.''

Dxit Major CSenernl Hugh Ij. Scott.
The silent nnd straightforward man
of war who has quelled eleven Indian
uprisings, pacified Cuban insurrections
and mollified fighting Mexicans through
his own simple directness, nfter weapons
and coercion foiled, and who later help
ed organize the selective service sys

Camp Dix tomorrow and retire formally
from active service.

him tlu nnme of "Whitc-Man-Who-Will-Xot-Tell-a-Iilc"
from the In

successful, either ns a war or peace
maker, has gained him a like reputation

I experienced the greatest disappointment
of lus caicer at Dix.
Schooled in European methods of war
fnre ufter several months spent abroad
as an observer, he was more noxious
than any one else in his division to get
across and lock horns with the enemy.
Just before the Seventy-eighth Di
vision was ready to mi II for France he
received word that his ability as en
organizer would be of more value to
this country at Cniiui Dix than nt the
fiont. and tJeneral Charles Molten was
sent abroad with the division.
Disappoiuted, (Jeuertil Scott begau

SPECULATION CONTINUES

of a storage house In which
vcores of families had placed their
household goods is the latest develop
ment in West Philadelphia real estate
speculation.
All of the families affected were com
pelled to move on account of the sale
of their homes.
Nearly all storage houses. Incident-
all.v. ore packed from cellar to roof
with the furniture of residents who
hnvc been obliged to give up their

The stoiagc house sold is conducted

Mrs. Montgomery must move by June

and igistercd letters to locate the ovvn-

"rIMm liniien una sniff find this flplinit
came as n great surprise," said Mrs'0'1 ,l,e '"spohal of the valuation case
Montgomery.
"We have the householugoods of a
great many families in our storage
house. I have sent registered letters
to all of them, explaining that we have
to vacate by June 1. Of course, many
of t'.r people have moved from the ad
dresses which they last gave, and it
may lie difficult to find them. I am

in trying to find those who have their

have been driven frantic. Many of
them cannot give us u definite address
when they make arrangements: nor ran
they say how long they desire their

seveu times iu two months."
Charles (. Whitcman, secretary of
the Pciins.jlvnnin ruruiture nnd Ware
housemen's Association, said it was al
most impossible In find storngo room
for household goods iu West Philadel
phia. As an illuslrntinn of conditions, he
suid, several families who came here
from another city found it impossible
to find n home within their means nnd
had their goods shipped back to the
place they left, direct from the railroad
station in Philadelphia.
The storage houses are almost nil
filled up. he said, and like everything
rise, the cost of storage has increased
because of the Inci cased cost of labor
and other incidentals in connection with
the business. Most of the storage men,
he asserted, wcie now devoting their
energies to n rgular "moving" busi.
ness.
I Speculation (Joes. On
I Meanwhile the speculation goes mer
rily on. It is most persistent in the
i blntk on Sixtieth street from Cedar ave
nue to Catharine. Some plates have
breii sold six or seven times in this
I block. One butcher shop has soared all
the way from $5000 to nearly .$20,000
iu n few months.
I On several stores the occupants have
i plated placards informing, the public
j t lint they have been forced out by spec
ulators. Some of these signs are framed
in candid language. On others the oc
cupants thank the people for their pat
, ronage. Several of these proprietors
thus forced out have sons in the army
and navy.

Our

Spring Suits

have more

Waist Seam!
I For one thing, we
were among the first
clothing stores in the
country to value the
waist-seam idea for i,ts
strong appeal to youth.
We made waist - seam
coats and labored over
them for months and
months before most
places knew what was
doing. And that, by
the way, is characteris
tic of the foresight and
leadership of this store
in the development of
fashionable, stylishly
made clothes for men
who want to find them
ready to pick out all
ready to wear.
And so we -took
over the waist seam
and applied to it the
same sound principles
of tailoring and work
manship that have
made "N. B. T." the
synonym for perfection
in Men's and young
