FEAR BREAK IN CHURCH UNITY AT CONVENTION Tight Seems Apparent Among Episcopalians Over Prayer Book Detroit, Oct. 13. Breach unity, possibly amounting to im-medlate schism. In the body of Pro( testant Episcopal Church In America, may result if further attempt to revise the prayer book Is made In the present triennial general convention, according to opinion expressed by many leading churchmen attending. There is noted a distinct lining up of delegates in the House "frf Deputies for and against revision, (with the controversy centering about 'the attitude of the delegations from (the three Virginia dioceses.

Both clerical and lay delegates (from Virginia have made plain their determination to "fight to the last 1 ditch" against further revision of ithe devotional service and, it is said, their stand Is having strong influence on other southern delegations. Springs Sensation A sensation was developed in the of bishops by Bishop Joseph B. Cheshire, of North Carolina, who introduced a resolution to strike out "The Star Spangled Banner? and "America" from the church hymnal. More than 100 bishops and several churchmen and church women who crowded the galleries listened with amazement to the pro- posal. So that no one his loyalty, B'shop Cheshire id he had a son who "spilt hi 3 blood" on the battlefields of France, and added i that his objection to the national i anthem and' "America" in the i hymnal was due to the fact that they encouraged people to worship standards, after the manner of the old Roman empire.

"The essence of a hymn is its i worship of God," he said. "I object to the inclusion' in the church hymnal of these two hymns, which encourage worship of a flag." When Bishop Cheshire ceased speaking Bishop James Henry Dar- llngton, of Harrisburg, expr seed his emphatic opposition to the "resolution. "I cannot conceive how any one object to the singing of 'The Star Spangled Banner' and "Amer- ica' at any time or in nny place," 1 he said, when the resolution was placed on the calendar. After the session several bishops said that Bishop Cheshire's resolu- tion was certain to be defeated, i They characterized his objections to the anthems as those of a "purist," I also of one who was somewhat I "finicky."

"Closed Shop" Is Not American, He Says Washington, Oct.

13. That the "closed shop" is un-American, is the assertion of the Republican Publicity Association in the following statement, given out by the president of that organization, Jonathan Bourne, "The crux of the demands of the labor group as presented to the labor-capital conference may be summarized as follows: "The right of wage-earners to bargain collectively, through unions, represented by agents of their own It is a one-sided proposition. It speaks of the 'right' of wage-earners to bargain in a certain way, but assumes that there shall be no right to bargain in any other way. What the unions desire is not the right, but the power, to bargain collectively, and, under form of bargaining collectively, to dictate terms to employers. There object is not bargaining, but dictation.

Harrisburg Navy to Plan For Future at First Annual Banquet Although the Penn-Harrls In Its young life has already seen many strange banquet stunts, It Is doubtful If It has yet had anything that will any way near approach the Klpona banquet to be held Thursday evening. For Instance, Admiral J. 'William Bowman, who will be toastmaster, will conduct the affair from the deck of the flagship Klpona. the samp flagship from the "deck of which he presided over the big Labor Day festival on the river. A big force of decorators from the local department stores are now working like beavers to decorate the big ballroom and one of their tasks is to get the big flagship into the room.

Just how they will solve this problem Is hard to say, perhaps John Newt6n and his Sons of Rest, who evolved the plan for getting that famous steam shovel out of the Penn- Harrls cellar, will be called upon to get the fifty-foot boat to the thirdfloor ballroom. Anyway the decorators have promised that the ship will be there, so you can count upon seeing Admiral Bowman on deck in real naval style. Ira C. Kindler and the other hustling members of the banquet committee report that the demand for tickets has far surpassed their estimates and those who desire to attend should get In touch with the committee at once. Tickets may be obtained at the Chamber of Commerce offices or from the presidents of the Rotary or Kikanis Clubs.

All three organizations have endorsed the Navy's plans and Thursday's affair will be a real community event. The object is to awaken interest in plans to develop Harrlsburg's wonderful natural advantages for recreation on the Susquehanna and the proposed loan tor $40,000 for river bathing beaches and bathhouses wlll'be given a big boost. This loan will be submitted to the voters at the November election and Is sure to pass. While the committee desires to get Into personal touch with every canoeist in the city, the time is far too short, so canoeists are urged to attend and make their reservations through Mr. Kindler promptly.

Every canoeist should he a strong Navy booster and should show his interest by being on hand Thursday. Cheap Oil to Be Used For House Heat A device that will revolutionize the heating of buildings, do away with coal shoveling and ash handling, and provide additional safeguard from flres, has been patented by William M. Hoffman. By its operation fuel oil is burned without aids, and out of a very small amount of oil, through perfect combustion, great heat is secured. The burner is called the threeelement burner, because in its operation it blends in its flame carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

It is by the blending of these three elements that the carbon of the heavy, non-explosive oil used is fully burned up, and the resultant heat secured. In appearance the burner is a little higher than a desk telephone and is made up of four castiron portions, about eight Inches in diameter. It is small enough to go ua a common hot air or hot water furnace. The oil flows into a fuel pan, and being lighted, generates in a very simple manner steam which furnishes forced draught for the flame. A mass of very hot flaming miniature gas wellcomes out of the top of the burner and is radiated out into the osmbustlon chamber of the stove or furnace.

One valve regulates the amount of heat furnished. Some of Harrisburg's leading business men, and some of the resident state officials have Invited the inventor to make a demonstration here this week. Officials of the Chamber of Commerce and Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs will be among those invited to inspect the invention. State High in Number of American Legion Posts Pennsylvania has now 595 posts of the American legion, the third largest number of any State, according to reports recently sent out from the national headquarters in New York. The membership of total number of posts is approximately 750,000 soldiers, sailors, marines, yeomanettes and nurses.

The figures given above are Inclusive of September 30, and do not include the membership In the drive for 1,000,000 membera It Is expected that by November 11, when the national convention of the Legion opens in Minneapolis, that there will be over 6,000 posts in the United States with the membership goal secured. There are at present 895 posts In this State and many more are applying for charters daily. At the time of the State convention on October 2, 3 and 4, there were only 350 posts. It was at that time that Governor Sproul made his address to the Legion and gave it his unqualified endorsement, pledging every aid that lay in his power. Mark T.

Milnor, of Post 27, and Patrick Sweeney, of Post 279, are the local men who will attend the convention. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR" NO MINISTERIAL STRIKE To the Editor of the Telegraph: Should the minister strike? No. Does he strike? Yes. He strikes for God's altars, for the Home fires, and ever for the country's sanctity, but not for "wages." Yet he is not so deaf that ho does not hear the hum and hustle of an industrial prosperity that suggests the query, "Why don't tha laymen whose wages have increased more and more, pass the prosperity on to the pulpit? Here is a concrete case, not universal, but typical. A preacher receives 61,400 a year.

It's the largest salary in dollars that he ever received. It's the smallest support he ever had. For his dollars now are only half dollars or less of a few years ago. He lives and possibly keeps up a little life insurance now only because he saved a little when he received half the salary, and thus subsidises to tide over his inadequate stipend of these H. C.

of L. times. When his calling is twice as exacting. both as to quantity and quality of his work he is expected to be content with half the support Is this fair for the man and institution whose pre-eminent function is to teach righteousness and Justice? But he will not strike. JOHN H.

Father Ignatius Smith, of New York, national director of the Holy Name Society, In an address here yesterday before annual session of the Diocesan Union, sounded the mobilization call for the 6 00,000 members of the organization to combat what he termed an attempt by "anarchists" to overthrow the government of the United States and "hoist the red flag Instead." Present day unrest, said Father Smith, can be traced to radical foreigners "who we Invited over here to partake of our hospitality. "These anarchists," he continued, know neither God nor obedience to our laws must be crushed down. We need not be armed with th rifle and the machine gun to crush them down; we will leave that to the armed forces, but we can help to defeat them by our example of our obedience to the law and the government." Urges "Service at Cost" For Street Railways Washington, Oct.

18. of the "servlc'-at-cost" plan of fixing street-railway fares by municipalities, with the valuation based "cost of replacement," probably will be recommended by the President's Electrio Railway Commission, which is to report within a few weeks its conclusions from the extended hearings held recently in Washington. It was learned authoritatively that members of the commission look upon the "service-at-cost" plan, following In most respects tho Cleveland Idea, as the most logical and equitable solution of the street-railway problem from the standpoint of both the public and the companies. The "zone system" of fixing fares on basis of mileage and municipal ownership is not regarded by the commission as suggesting a satisfactory settlement of the problem. It is understqpd als that the commission will take some action in the matter of Immediate relief for the companies and suggest that higher fares should be granted as a temporary relief for the companies to meet the acute financial difficulties into which many of them were said to be drifting.

The commission is to urge also. It was said, the absolute necessity for a better understanding between the public and the street railway managers.
