Political rumors are going the rounds in the boro of Bradley Beach regarding the makeup of the commission to be elected on the second Tuesday In May by the citizens of that seaside resort.

The problem Bradley Beach Is simpler than in Asbury Park, however, because the commission consists of only three members. The present commission Includes Mayor Frank C. Borden, and Commissioners Bernard V. Poland and John Kogers. The problem in Bradley Beach, however, Is a peculiar one for the present commission has started, under its regime, a number ot big and extensive improvements.

There was the purchase, thru condemnation, of the beach front, tha construction and equipping of tho boardwalk, the now 75-foot boulevard along the ocean and the contemplated 65-foot avenues along the north shore of Sylvan lake and along the south shore ot Fletcher lake. And then, too, there is the Bradley Beach Golf club and other activities which will need careful watching and encouragement to produce tho desired results. Of the present commission Mayor Borden and Commissioner Poland ure as yet undecided as te the parts they will play in the coming election. Commissioner Rogers, it is understood on good authority, is thinking very seriously about entering the lists for. reelection.

Winfield Stevens, former postmaster of the boro, is said to have aspirations for the office of commissioner, altho ho will not make any definite statement, and W. E. Macdonald, former mayor, while he declares ho will not run, may, it is believed by friends, make a try for office again. Then there is Col. Eugene Reilly, ono of those who opposed the pur chase of tho beach front, who, Dame FUimor saye, is going to try his luck on that very issue.

William B. Truby, former secretary to the New Jersey Boxing commission, is declared to be hinking seriously of making a fight be commissioner, and Samuel E. no nrfspnf Wr recorder. t.hmifrht J- i tH arnbltlong ln that direction. SPECIAL MEETINGS END.

Reply Tomorrow. NEW YORK. Jan. 20. The reply of Rev.

Percy Stiokney Grant, rector rr th rrntestant Kuisconal church of the Ascension, to the letter ad- dressed to him yesterday by Bishop William T. Manning directing that Dr. Grant either correct the remarks he made in a sermon last Sunday or resign, probably will not he made until toeiorrow morning when he enter hi pulpit for the forenoon sermon. Friends of Dr. Grant are said to hold the view that he would refuse either to repudiate his statement that "very few clergymen today who have been educated in the large universities accept the idea that Jesus had the power of God" or to resign but that he would seek vindication of his expressed belief thru trial, if charges of heresy are made against him.

Bishop Manning's Jetter called upon Dr. Grant "to correct unmistakably the Impression which you have publicly given of your disbelief in our Lord Jesus Christ as God and Saviour, or if It is not possible for you to do so, then to withdraw from the ministry of church." The letter indicated a desire on the part of Bishop Manning to have the matter settled without recourse to a heresy trial If possible. "I do not believe in heresy trials," the bishop said, "if these can possibly be avoided. They ought never to be necessary in the church, where the spirit of love and patience should reign. If any man knows he cannot fulfill the terms upon which he holds his office in the ministry he should- voluntarily retire from it." Dr.

Grant and Bishop Manning conferred Wednesday, it became known thru the bishop's letter, but the meeting did not result satisfactorily and the bishop's ultimatum followed yesterday. Church announcements published In today's papers carry a notice that Dr. Grant will preach tomorrow on the subject "a constructive program." He announced last Monday, when reporters visited him during the storm which broke over his Sunday sermon, that tomorrow he would "try to pull the threads of liberal religious belief together." Dr. Grant has been rector of the Ascension church for 30 years and during that time has come Into the public notice frequently because of his attitude and ecclesiastical Independence. His first charge after graduation from Harvard and the Episcopal Theological school at Cambridge, was as assistant rector of St.

Mark's Episcopal church in Fall River, Mass. He came to New York in 1893 soon after he had been advanced to the rectorship. A sermon he preached in 1 1 5 on tho divorce question was commented on as "being rather In January, 192!) lie was criticised for a sermon in which he compared the sailing of the U. K. S.

Transport Bu-ford for Russia with anarchists da-ported on the Mayflower of rilgrim fathers' fame. Ho won attention also thru the establishment at his Fifth avenue church of an open forum. which was finally suspended bv tli- rection of the ite Bishop Charles Sumner Burch. Last year Dr. Grant announced hia engagement to Mrs.

Philip Lydig, who got a divorce from her second husband In Franco. Hi-was informed that tho canons of the church expressly forbade the of divorced persons. Another matter which brought Dr. Grant considerable publicity was the adoption by him of Faith Wll'ard Grant, a waif left, on his doorrlep. The little girl died 10 months after her adoption.

MARION. 111., Jan. 20. OP). Freed of one charge of murder in connection with the Herrin coal mine riots, the five men who underwent a six weeka" trial for the alleged slaying of Howard Hoffman, one of 21 "massacre" victims, today faced a new trial within a few weeks on a charge of murder, growing out of the killing of Antonio Mukovich of Erie, Pa.

Prosecutors announced they would oppose release of the five on bonds, and they were returned to Jail after yes-terady's acquittals. Eight others were Indicted with the five whose first trial was concluded yesterday in connection with Muko-vich's death. Those found not guilty yesterday were: Leva Mann, said by witnesses for the state to have been one of the firing squad who shot at nonunion miners emloyed at the tester "strip mine after they had to a mob and had been about the Herin cemetery; Joseph Carnaghl, the only man said by state witnesses to have fired at Hoffman; Peter Hiller, alleged to have cut the throat of a wounded victim; Bert Grace, who was pointed out as having, pistol in hand, refused to permit bystanders to give water to wounded men, and Otis Clark. Hoffmann was one of 76 nonunion miners and guards employed at the mine, 21 of whom were fatally shot last June 21 and 22. The jurors generally refused to dis cuss their 27 hours' deliberation, but some said from 15 to 20 ballots were taken.

Angus W. Kerr, chief counsel for the defense, asserted, "It was the only righteous verdict which could have been read" and expressed the hope that It woul.d result in of the use of hired gunmen in controversies between capital and labor." DAVENPORT, Jan. 20. The state wlil continue prosecution of men indicted in connection with the Herrin, 111., mine riots, Edward J. Brundage, attorney general of Illinois, declared here when told that the first five men tried had been acquitted.

Mr. Brundage was here to make an address. "The state of Illinois will continue its prosecution of those believed to be guilty in the Herrin riot atrocities," The Illinois attorney general said, "information against others implicated is in the hands of tho state and the prosecution will immediately be opined in those cases. There is no doubt In my mind of the guilt of the five defendants acquitted by the Williamson county jury. The acquit tal of these defendants can be ascribed to the spirit of Intimidation that prevails In the Herrin district today.

The jury was fearful of tha consequences, should a verdict other than 'not guilty' bo returned." lliiTli it mm Recommendation for the reappointment of Harry A. Watson, president of the Asbury Park and Ocean Grove bank, as a member of the City Sinking Fund commission will be made by Mayor C. E. F.

Sheriff Firth, according to th bill, dia-covered that the estate holda mortgages of $33,000 in Mercer county and located valuable propertlea in Spring Lake, including the Sickel residence, stable and coaehman'a house in the exclusive summer colony. i. v. Notwithstanding the levies by the three sheriff, the bill states it is Impossible to ascertain the particular Interest young Sickel ha in these asset of Jh estate. It is recited the trustee In September, 1916, filed an accounting in Mercer Orphans' court, ahowing asset of $342,038.06.

No accounting has been made since that time. The bank alleges Sickel was entitled to a one-elxth share In the estate when he attained his 30th year in 1920.

Sickel, the.complalnt tales the trustee, have refused to ai. accoutning in Mercer Or- phans' court and have declined to give young Sickel his one-sixth interest. Unles this distribution 1 made, th bill atates it 1 impossible to determine Sickel' financial standing in order to satisfy the bank's judgment.

The court of chancery is requested to direct Sickel to appear before a special master and appoint a receiver for hi aseeta if deemed necessary. (Continued From Page One). Is still regarded a a fact by most of us, but It bid fair, in time, to gain thousands of adherents who will begin to look on thi little book as their Bible, and on M.

Coue as their god. Some of us may be adherents of, or believers in Christian Science. Some of us may recite the Coue formula more faithfully than they recite the "Sh'ma Ylsroel." Many of tw, I feel quite Bure, say to ourselves, when we read of the miraculous cures effected. "After all, there may be something in it; I guess I'll have to try it some time" and our downfall will have begun. I feel, however, with all due respect to those who may have found comfort and healing in this way, I feel that their net result Is actually harmful nay! dangerous! I believe that if any considerable proportion of our population were Inoculated with what seems to me to be 'quack' serums, the foundations of our moral structure would be demolished, all human Ideals and aspirations would evaporate; lite Itself would no longer have any meaning.

Do not consider that I am unjust to these movements! They have elements of truth, just as every religion, whether nonotheistic or pagan, has elements ot truth. Among the reasons which move people to Incline toward auto-suggestion and Christian Science, is very high value which we set on life. We believe In safe-guarding health. Life is holy to us. We are deeply concerned about keeping ourselves and our loved ones alive.

We are much given to consultation with medical authorities, touching ailments, grave and Blight, fancied and real What turns men and women to these cults is our Interest In health, our tremendous will to keep alive, our morbid fear of disease, our nervousness and timidity touching pain and suffering. And I can see the question In your eyes; if Christian Science and autosuggestion can heal our ailments, should they not be Is there no such thing as faith-healing? Yes, my friends, there is 6ueh a thing as faith-healing. It Is almost as old as human race. Many of the miracles that ere recorded of famous saints may perhaps be attributed almost entirely to faith-healing. But would you not go to a surgeon If you suffered a broken log or torn flesh? Half of the ailments that me have are Imagined ailments and I know of many physicians who prescribe sugar water to their patients who soon afterward report themselves fully cured.

I have been at the Catholic shrine of St. Anno de Beaupre, near Montreal, and I have seen invalids go away with more strength and power to fight against their dread disease. We accept these things, but we do not make a religion of them nor do we put away our medical science, Of the two, Couelsm, or conscious auto-suggestion, is less dangerous, but dangerous it Is. In the first place It is dangerous because It leads peo pie to delay medical treatment until it is too late. Besides, and this is a danger that we sometimes do not appreciate auto-suggestion Is closely related and associated with hypno tism.

And Coue is definitely asso ciated with hypnotism. Ho studied hypnotism before he took up his new scheme. Whatever, then is good and bene ficial in Couelsm, as this new cult is called, is already well taken care of by the medical profession and by psychological and pathological labo ratories. What is characteristic of Coueism is harmful and dangerous, Like Coueism, Christian Science ASSERTS DANGERS AUTOSUGGESTION a tho apartment over his livery to Miss Strauss and. tho he was about the premises every day, he had seen no evidence of wrong doing.
