AMENDMENTS TO
CHURCH RITES
MAY BE ADOPTED
Opposition - by Conservative
Episcopalians Not Expected
to Prevent Passage of
Proposed Changes.
Detroit, Mich., Oct. 10. Despite
opposition of the. conservatives of
the Protestant Episcopal church of
America, the triennial general con-
, ; vention of which is meeting here,
the majority of the amendments re
vising the morning and evening
services will be adopted in the con-
vention,, it was indicated today.
Voting on the amendments began
this morning in the house of depu
ties, the first half dozen proposed
being adopted almost unanimously.
Thf general tendency of these
amendments is to give more latitude
in the use of the prayer book and
to permit the use of a shortened
service.
Final action will be given on the
amendments first presented at the
last general convention and both
houses must concur to make them
operative. However, the complete
ly revised prayer book cannot be
come operative until after the next
general convention because many 6t
the proposed changes will be con
sidered in this convention for the
first time. These include the pro
posed revision of the marriage and
burial services and the communion
service.
The house 6f bishops this morn
ing further considered revision of
the canons on ordination.
The report on the seamen's insti
tute of America presented before
the convention this morning asks a
budget of $1,210,000 of the nation
wide campaign fund, for the next
-utiree years tor extending and es
tablishing institutes, missions and
schools at Atlantic, Pacific and
Great Lakes ports.
The ' house of bishops combined
the missionary districts of Oklaho
ma and eastern Oklahoma under.
Bishop Theodore P. Thurston of trfc
latter, and transterred Bishop frame
Touret of western Colorado to the
missionary district of Idaho. Con
currence of the house of deputies is
necessary to make these changes ef
fective. LOCKED OUT IN

ily of Montague, the father of an
unscrupulous schemer, Kuth, his
wife, a chronic worrier, charming
young Helen and Oscar, whom his
adoringmother has never subjected

lives, we have the story of what is
happening in thousands of homes.

Fell at the doorstep of the police sta
tion last night after walking through,
.lie cold from her home at Fortieth
street and Fowler avenue.
"My husband starved me, drove
me from my home and two chil
dren," were the only words the little
woman was able to utter. She was
iemi-conscious when carried into
:he matron's department. Later she
ate a hearty lunch and told her
story.
"I've been working daily to help
keep the family together," she said.
"Today I washed clothes and ironed
for a woman near the Deaf and
Dumb institute. When I came home
tonight Fred (her husband) forbade
me to enter. I pounded at the door
and windows. I cried and pleaded
. with him to feed me. All he offered
me was abuse. My only hope was
to come to the police. I had to walk
all the way."
, The woman remained at the po
lice station all night. In spite of
her pitiful complaints of treatment
she received at the hands of her
husband, police failed to go to her
home to question her husband about
the alleged abuse heaped upon her.
Mrs. Nestor is the mother of two
children, John, 8, and Helen, 5 years
old. She told police she feared for
their safety in the home with their
father.

Charge "Bolshevist
Leaders" Started
Strike in New York
New York, Oct. 10. The strike
and lockout of pressmen and feed
ers in New York, which was fol
lowed by the walking out of sev
eral hundred compositors and the
suspension of a large number of
magazines and trade publications of
national circulation, entered into a
new phase when direct charges were
made by George L. Berry, presi
dent of the International Printing
Pressmen's and Assistants' union,
that the trouble originated with
"bolshevist leaders" who are com
mitted to a definite policy of revolu
tion. Major Berry further charged
that these leaders have inaugurated
a "campaign of terrorism," and that
men loyal to the international
unions are being assaulted by
scores.

Committee Enters Homes and

Well as Strikers s

East Meets West on National Air Route
Pilots Clasp Hands on Ak-Sar-Ben Field
Pittsburgh, Oct. 10. Senators in
vestigating the steel strike put in a
busy day in the Pittsburgh district
and viewed everything from the in
candescent metal in rolling mills to
the culinary equipment in the
homes of mill workers. They dis
cussed strike conditions with plant
superintendents and held informal
caucuses with strikers in the back
Streets of Homestead and Clairton.
Chairman Kenyon said they want
ed to be sure and hear both sides
and volunteer and voluble interpret
ers made it easy for the foreign
born elements among the strikers
to get heard.
Late for Fracas.
At Homestead, just before the
party arrived, there was an exchange
of shots between strikers and an
armed workman, but the committee
did not get up to the front in time
to see anything of the fracas.
In the mills of the Carnegie com
pany visited at Duquesne and
Homestead, officials would concede
that only a small number of men
were on strike. At Clairton, how-1
ever, the senators were told that
1,500 men out of 5,000 normally em
ployed remained out. Strikers in
the street meetings with the sena
tors denied these claims and in
polygot fashion asserted that many
thousands of men were missing from
the scene of usual duties.
Visit Homes Singly.
Chairman Kenyon at Homestead
broke his party up into details of
one, which resulted in each sena
tor gathering a crowd running up
into hundreds at almost every front
porch where he stopped. Senator
Sterling of South Dakota, with a
cluster of youngsters hanging on his
coat-tail, was taken into two or three
houses in one block, while one man
acting as usher would observe at
each door: "Here's the way some
more of Judge Gary's high-paid help
has to live."
Senator Kenyon called in a ste
nographer to take down some state
ments made by Mrs. Joseph Pentedi,
wife of a husky Hungarian mill fore
man, who had refused to strike.
She had been visited, she explained,
by a committee of strikers and
urged to get her husband to stay
away from work. Pentedi, rather
shamefacedly, said that he had
done so for a couple of days "be
cause 1 was atraid and she was
afraid."
Are Not Citizens.
At Clairton some hundreds of
strikers crowded around the sena
torial party, under leadership of P.
ti. urogan, secretary ot a local
strike committee. There was some
wonderment among the committee
when Slavs still unable to speak
English gave their names as "Jo
I seph Powell" and "James Smith,"
i but the senators finally accepted the
i names as an indication of a first step
taken toward Americanization.
What they wanted, the strikers ex
plained, were fewer hours of work
and more wages. They all held up
their hands when Senator Kenyon
asked who had contributed to Red
Cross and Liberty bond funds dur
ing the war, but when requested to
give the same sign to indicate pos
session of naturalization papers
there was a noticeable falling off.

Gregory Kelly, as Willie Baxter;
Lillian Ross, as Jane, and all the
original cast will be here, making
it the first really important event of
the season at the theater. The re
quest for seats indicates the appre
ciation the public has for a really
worth-while comedy, such as this is.
For the last two times, today,
matinee and night, '"Mutt and Jeff"
will be seen and heard at the Bran

to mingle yourself with the funniest
twain on earth, Mutt and Jeff.
Only two things are needed by
the average American to win, suc

This is demonstrated through the
medium of Harry James Smith's
comedy, "A Tailor Made Man,"
which is to be presented at the
Brandeis for a return engagement
of five performances, opening to
morrow night. Cohan & Harris
make the offering, in their usual
lavish style.
A cleverly written playlet with
great comedy situations is "Twice a

As the result of a letter appearing

Gravity of Gary Strike
Blamed on I. W. W. by Wood
Chicago, Oct. 10. A statement
issued by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
commander of the central depart
ment, outlined the situation at Gary
as folli.ws:
"The gravity of the situation at
Gary is found in the presence of a
dangerous and extremely active
group of I. W. V. and anarchistic
elements which are striving to bring
about extensive disturbances against
law and order. These elements are
working against everything which
this country stands for."
About the most noticeable thing
in the primary elections in and
around Philadelphia was the activity
of the women partisans, every party
having its women's committees and
subcommittees all working like bea-
The fact that rent profiteering is
general over the country, and that
it is everywhere regarded by sound
business men as unjustifiable, un
warranted by conditions, and a
mere hysteria of the "get-rich-quick"
description, is shown by the
action of the Detroit Bar associa
tion, which at a recent meeting
passed resolutions to extend legal
aid to any tenant reporting attempts
on the part of the landlord to in
crease rents.
The action of the Detroit asso
ciation is all the more significant
from the fact that the vote was
unanimous, and went through with
a "whoop" immediately that the sug
gestion was made and the facts in
the situation presented by one of
the members. In addition, it was
decided to extend this aid without
charge to any tenant, even the lead
ing and wealthiest corporation law
yers in the association voluntarily
pledging that their services would
be cheerfully extended upon call by
any tenant or the association.
Example for Others.
The action of the Detroit associa
tion is an example that well could
be followed by others throughout
the country, as it is only through
such voluntary and free assistance
that general relief can be had, a
large number of tenants pot only
being without funds to prosecute
and maintain actions in defense of
their rights, but being ignorant of
such rights in most cases, -and in
others being afraid to take action
single-handed.
Account of Meeting.
An account of the meeting as con
tained in dispatches shows the quick
recognition of unjust cond'tions ex
tended by the bar association. The
account says:
"Tenants facing unjust eviction
need not submit to it without a legal
battle because they cannot afford to
pay an attorney's fee. If they have
a just cause for complaint, they can
have the best legal services in De
troit as a result of the decision of
the Detroit Bar association to aid
all such clients without charge.
Lawyers in Sympathy.
"Inasmuch as Corporation Coun
sel Clarence E. Wilcox only made
the suggestion regarding free legal
aid for dispossessed tenants Friday
afternoon, the action of the Detroit
Bar association was not only quick,
but indicates that the lawyers are
in sympathy with the victims of
snprnlatincr landlord. Mr. Walters.
in his circular letter to members of 1
the association, also urges that thev
refuse to represent landlords and
property owners whose cases are
unjust.
"According to Mr. Wilcox, the
majority of renters threatened with
eviction unless they pay rents way
above their means, are poor persons
who cannot hire legal aid. With
the bar association standing back
of them, these persons need no
longer hesitate about fighting their
cases to the limit, but can go into
court and demand a jury trial."

ASSAULT GASES
i
Well Known Degenerate Sus
pectedWas in Vicinity
Few Minutes Previous to
One Attack.
Desk Sergeant Arnold and mt
at police headquarters in Council
Bluffs yesterray from dawn till dark
answered a continuous stream of
queries: "Is it true theyv got th('
negro who attacked tht womtl
Wednesday night?"
The big crop of rumors was start
ed by the story Friday afternooi
that the assailant of Miss Vanden
pool and Miss Held was in thf
county jail, or had been found deai
in a boxcar, or vacant barn, of
desperately wounded, and was be
ing treated by a physician who hsi
notified the police.
May Not Be Negro.
There is little doubt that tht mat
is seriously wounded, and probablj
will be discovered. There is als
good reason for doubting that he it
a negro. A man was found yester
day who says he encountered him I
few minutes before the assault upon
Miss Held. He was then little mors,
than a block away from 908 Third
street, the home of Archie Epper
son, before whose home the attach
was made.
"He was not a negro" said
the man. "He was a white man
grimy with grease or coal dust and,
when I saw him, was walking rap
idly, as if returning from his work.
He wore the long light-colored rain
coat, and I noticed that he was a
powerful man, six feet tall, with
square shoulders. It was raining
hard, but I took a good look at him.
Me was going in the direction of the
point where Miss Held was at
tacked." Committed Other Attacks.
There is now some real reason
for believing that the man sought is
the author of the assault upon Miss
Josephine Volmer in her room in
the Hogan house on Fourth street,
and also the assailant of other wom
en in that vicinity. The general de
scription given by Miss Volmer fits
the fiend., who made the attacks
Wednesday night. The brutal na
ture of his attack upon the sleeping
woman was duplicated in the rough
usage suffered by Mriss Held, whose
neck was almost broken by his
powerful grasp. He is believed to
be a degenerate well acquainted in
the neighborhood and engaged in
some work that covers hands, face
and clothes with grease and grime.
Officers are making a systematic
canvass of the neighborhood.
