GRANT, WIDELY KNOWN CLERGYMAN, DIES By Universal Service NEW YORK, Feb. 14. Churchmen throughout the country today mourn the death of the Rev. Percy Stickncy Grant, one of the leading modernists in the Protestant Episcopal Church. The Rev.

Mr. Grant died Sunday in the Northern Westchester Hospital, at Mt. Kisco, N. from complications following an operation for appendicitis. Funeral services will be held tomorrow in St.

Matthew's Church, Bedford Village, N. Y. The body will be taken to Boston, where the Rev. Mr. Grant was born sixty-six years ago, for burial in Forest Hill Cemetery.

Doctor Grant had a remarkable career. In 1893 he came to New York City as rector of the staid and orthodox Church of the Ascension, a constituency of wealth and culture, where his radical and unconventional ideas involved him in a series of controversies with Bichop Manning: and other prominent churchmen. Do-tor Grant's engagement to Mrs. Rita de Acosta Lydig, a divorcee, together with his pleas for more liberal divorce laws, created a storm of controversy within the church. ACTION AGAINST 3 CITY PLACES Padlock proceedings were brought in the Dauphin County Court today by District Attorney Fox against two Harrisburg cafes and a pool room.

This is the second attempt to padlock the poolroom. District Attorney Fox alleges the prohibition laws have been violated twice in each of the three place, making them liable for padlocking for a year. The actions are against the following: Mandarin Inn, 1321 North Sixth street, S. H. Zimmerman, owner of the building; Mickey DeFrank and Howard Channel, tenants.

The poolroom at 1018 Herr street, Sava Peinovich, owner of the building; Tony Ivanoff and Nick Evanoff, tenants. Market House Cafe, 435 Verbeke street, Samuel Rifkin, owner of the building; Peter Luster and Mickey DeFrank, tenants. Next Monday morning District Attorney Fox will ask the court to fix a time for hearings, lhe defendants are given until that time to engage counsel. On December 16, 1925, padlock proceedings were brought against the poolroom at 1018 Herr street. After several hearings they were dismissed on June 15, 1926, when it was shown that the violations committed in the building took place while the tenant was abroad.

District Attorney Fox will ask the court to padlock the three buildings for a period of one year. If padlocked the buildings cannot be used or occupied. Sheriff Housholder was instructed by the court today to no tify the defendants that prelim inary injunctions have been issued against them restraining them from removing or otherwise molesting the contents of the buildings and from further vio lating the liquor laws.

CURB MARKET IS IRREGULAR By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 14. While irregularity was prevalent in most sections of the curb list, several issues rose to new high levels for the year. Transcontinental Oil preferred rose more than six points into a new 1927 level; Prairie Pipe Line rose 4 to a new high.

In the industrials new tops were reached by Bancitaly, Auburn Auto and Massey-Harris, the latter running up 4U points. Other industrials were mixed, good gains being scored by Pendergrocery Stores Remington Rand, Rand Kardex and Durant, while Estey Welt issues a point and American Seating declined.

Hallman, who apparently failed to prevent himself from having a birthday anniversary, was given a surprise party at his Fif-j teenth street home. The variation led Hallman to say, "Have a heart with the flowers." The arrival of a number of boxes while the guests were at dinner denoted that the guests were as of one mind in expressing their congratulations with flowers. KING TUT LJALLMAN started to open the flower boxes, wherein he found beautiful clusters of flowers. As each box was opened, the bouquets were shown to be the more magnificent in character. Tho biggest box of the lot was the last one to be opened.

An air of expectancy prevailed as Hallman's fingers fumbled with gaudy ribbons. Then followed the unwinding of several yards of tissue paper, which finally disclosed the largest bouquet of the lot but a bouquet of withered flowers. Attached to the bouquet was a card bearing the felicitations of "King Tut." NEW AN ordinary gas flame is being used successfully to teach deaf and dumb children in London the sounds of the various letters of the alphabet. The new method shows each child how he or she can make the gas flame flicker at a varying rate, with the current of air produced as the mouth forms the different letter of the alphabet. The change in the form of the flame is said to produce a mental picture of the sound in the child's mind.

The method enables the average pupil to learn the alphabet in about three months.

Paving of All of Market Street Would Result in Delay of Ten Sections If the city were to change its present street paving plans for VJzl and pave Market street all the way to the Poorhouse road as requested by School Board, instead of stopping the paving temporarily at Hale avenue, the western edge of the John Harris High School grounds, it would take so much of the city paving fund that the paving of from seven to ten other street sections in other parts of the city would have to be delayed indefinitely, City Engineer Cowden explained today.

The paving which the School Board seeks is immediately in front of the John Harris building and grounds. The city would have to pay for all the work on the side near the school as well as for a portion of the north side of the street which borders on park land, both being non-assessable property. The city engineer figures the city's share of the paving would be close to $10,000. That would be enough, he added, to pay for street intersections and for other nonassessable property paving along at least seven and possibly ten h0i kw Market street probably will be formally presented to City Council at tomorrow's meeting.
