BISHOP HENRY POTTER JS ATT A CKED BY LA WYER FOR UNFROCKED PRIEST Xc York, Nov. 27.—“I have noth- duct In tYils matter than I have for Ing to say to this except that Mr. Shepard's remarks form a gratuitous and Impertinent inference without foundation In fact.” This statement was made today by Bishop Henry t\. Potter, when asked If he would make a reply to Kdward M. Shepard’s attack upon him In a statement Issued by the lawyer ,In the case of the Rev. A. S. Crapsey, who resigned from the Episcopal church. In his statement Mr. Bhepard re viewed the case, said that he advised Dr. Crapsey to appeal from the decision of the court of review, and then he mode this attack on Bishop Potter: “l have more respect* for their con- that of the senior bishop of New York in the attack which he has seen tit to make upon Dr. Crgpaey. • "Dr. Crapsey has not lived with the rich; he Is not served today by a butler and a 'second man* and a foot man and a coachman: he Is not one of the chief figures at the dinner tables of the private pulUces of this city; he Is neither used to nor fond of sybaritic elegance. ”Dr. Crapsey does not hold to the rule that the minister’s contract is one for a money price—'so many dollars, such and such an output of doctrine.’” Mr. Hhepard further said that if the bishop would make It a point to ascer tain the doctrine the priests of his diocese were preaching he would find many guilty of greater heresy than he attributed to Dr. Crapsey.

POPE FAVORS PEACE AS TO FRENCH LAW Where is G. W. Wellington, the blind panhandler who was the cause of May or Woodward gettlng-on his card-writ ing garments? That Is a question officials of the As- elated Charities would like to have answered. When he was arraigned In pollc •purt Monday afternoon for begging n Atlanta streets his case was t tlnued so that lie could avail hltnself of the offer made by Secretary J. C. Lo gan. of the Associated Charities, and have Ills eye operated upon to get back his lost sight that he might earn a living. He was to have appeared Tuesday morning to #o 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 anil where the people are not educated up to this sort of thing. In other words, there Is every evi dence now that Wellington prefcis blindness and anywhere from |3 to $15 a day profit from his plaintive tunes ground out.of his hand organ to sight and a’chance to take that Job he talked about which paid $60 a month. Blindness and big money seem more preferable to him than sight and ordi nary wages. While In Atlanta Wellington mad3 Ills headquarters at the Bnlvatlon Army, nt 72 Murlettu street, but he left there Monday afternoon, after he had been arraigned In police court and had his case continued so that he coull consult the specialist secured by the Associated Charities. Inquiry there Tuesday morning brought out this fact and Inmates of the place said he packed up his organ Monday afternoon and said It was other parts for Ills. This In connec tion with the fact that he has not been seen on the streets, and also that he failed to keep his 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 so to speak, and one who can do the lead ing around and manage the business. “It ain’t so had,” remarked a man at the headquarters, who looked as If he had had considerable experience riding rods and brake beams, “when a bo Is shy a peg or has a leary fin. but one what’s got Ills lamps out Is all In. 1 don't know f here Wellington went, hut I think he blowed toward the North. He had a letter from Ills mother a day or two ago that i read for him and It may lie 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 ns a convict and have me lamps burning than have coin with ’em out.” Secretary Logatv* Is still waiting for Wellington nnd Is only too willing to carry out his part of the bargain and support the blind man until he gfles to a hospital nnd hns the operation per formed. He made several attempts to find Wellington Tuesday morning, but was unsuccessful. It was thought at first that Welling ton intended going to Macon, as that •tty was next on his route.
