N|» York, Nov. 27.-—“I have noth
ing, to nay to tlila except that Mr.
Shepard'a remark* form a gratultoua
and Impertinent inference wljhout
foundation In fact,”
Thla atatement waa made today by
Blahop Henry C. Potter, when naked
If he. would make n reply to Kdward
M. Shepard's attack upon him In a
atatement laaued by the lawyer In the
cate of the Rev. A. H. Crap»ey, who
resigned from 'the Kplacopal church.
In hi* atatement Sir. Shepard re

Dr. Crapaey to appeal front the devlaion
of the court of review, and then he
made thla attack on Ulahop Potter:
"J have more reaped for their con

that of the aenfor blahop of New York
In the attack which he haa aeen, tit
to make upon Dr. Crapaey.
“Dr. Crapaey haa not lived with the

butler and a ‘aecond man’ and a foot
man and a coachman; ne la not one
of the chief flgurea at the dinner table*
of the private palace* of thla city: he la
neither uaed to nor fond of aybarttlc
elegance.
“Dr. Crapaey doea not hold to the
rule that the minister's contract la one

auch and aucli an output of doctrine.'
Mr. Shepard further aald that if the
blahop would make U a point to uncer
tain the doctrine the prleata of 111*
diocese were preaching he would find
many guilty of greater hereay than
he attributed to Dr. Crapaay.
WELLING'1 ON'HITS TRAIL;
BLIND MAN PREFERS COIN
TO OPERATION AND SIGHT
CAUSE __
Follow iu Quick Succession
in Carolina Moun
tains.
NjmhIhI to The (.Vorglun.
Asheville, X. t\, Xov. 27.—Three peo
ple were killed and many more narrow
ly escaped death during a succession
of cloudbursts In Cherokee county last
week. Communication was established
by wire and mall.
According to reports there was be
tween 50 and 60 terrific cloudbursts,
••ne quickly following the other, In the
mountains, causing raging torrents,
whiedt left a path of destruction and
desolation. Many bouses were tarried
away by the Hood and demolished.
Where Is G. W. Wellington, the blind
panhandler who was the cause of May
or Woodward getting on Ids card-writ
ing garments?
That Is a question officials of the As
sociated Charities would like to “have
answered.
When he was arraigned In pollc.
court Monday afternoon for begging
on Atlanta streets his case was con
tinued so that he couId avail himself of
the offer made by Heeretary J. C. Lo
gan, of the Associated Charities, ami
have Ids eye operated upon to get
back Ids lost sight that he might earn
a living. •
Me was to have appeared Tuesday
morning to go to a specialist, but he
didn’t show up. And there Is every
evidence that he has left Atlanta, left
for other fields where panhandlers have
an easy time and where the people are
not educated up to this sort of thing.
In other words, there Is every evi
dence now that Wellington prefers
blindness and anywhere from $3 to $15
a day pfoftt from his plaintive tunes
ground out of his hand organ to sight
and n chance to take that Job he talked
abbut which paid $60 a month.
Blindness and big money seem more
preferable to him than sight anil ordl-^
nary wages.
While In Atlanta Wellington mad j
his headquarters at the Halvatlon
Army, at 72 Marietta street, but he left
there Monday afternoon, after he had
been arraigned In police court and had
his case continued so that he could
consult the specialist secured by the
dated Charities.
Inquiry there Tuesday morning
brought out this fact and inmates of
the place said he packed up his ofgan
Monday afternoon and said it was
other parts for his. This In connec
tion with the fact that he has not been
seen on the streets, and also that he
failed to keep bis engagement with
Secretary Logan, of the Associated
Charities Tuesday morning, leads to
the belief that he has hit the trail. And,
too, they say at the Salvation Army
headquarters that Wellington took an
Atlanta man with him—a partner sc
to speak, and one who can do the lead
ing around and manage the business,
"It ain’t so bad,’’ remarked a man
the headquarters, .who looked as.if he
had hod considerable experience riding
rods and brake beams, "when a bo Is
shy a peg or has a leary fin.*but one
what’s got his lamps out Is all In. I
don’t know where Wellington went, but
I think he blowed toward the North.
He had a letter from his mother a day
or two ago that I read for him and It
may be that he’s gone to her. He comes
from West Virginia and he got sore
on Atlanta. He was a nice feller and
had money, but I'd rather be broke as a
convict and have me lamps burning
than have coin -with ’em out.”
Secretary Logan Is mill waiting for
Wellington and Is only too willing to
carry out his part of the bargain and
support the blind man until he goes to
a hospital and has the operation per
formed. He made several attempts |o
find Wellington Tuesday morning, but
was unsuccessful.
It was thought at first that Welling
ton Intended going to Macon, as that
city was next on his route.
