Britisher
New York. Aug. Jl.-Agaln today the
beautiful cup defender Reliance failed
to register her third victory over Lip
ton's challenger because the wind died
to nothing and the lime limit expired
Inore she could reach the finlRh line.
Her margin was approximately the
me as Thursday. Pheas less than
hulf a mile from finish, when the gun
sounded. The Shamrock III was a
fulnt blur on the horizon fully two and
a half nillastern. Reliance's failure
to score was more exasperating be
cause her ultimata triumph Is now con.
ceded, even by Sir Thomas, lilm-wlf, to
to be simply a formality. The super
iority of the Herreshoff boat In any
kind of weather Is acknowledged by
yachting critics of both M-s of the At
Inntlc and today's fluke only prolongs
the agony of the contest Hint has al
ready been decided. '
Waning Interest In the cup races was
strikingly Illustrated by the nine of the

Outside of revenue cutters, which pa

dozen tugs and a score of steam yacht.
The race was spiritless from the be fin

and return.

gained until she had made good her

ADMITS THAT HE DID WRONG
Police Find Possible Motive For
Bowers Murder
San Francisco, August SI. Patrick
Lcary has confessed to relations of In
tlmacy with Mrs Martha Bowers and
the police are certain they have at last
discovered a motive for the 3"ath of
Martin Bowers. In ubtaln'ng a state
ment from Mrs. Sutton, her sister, the
detecelves caught her In a misstate'
ment und all In all very Important steps
have been' taken In unearthing; the

wfia Involved did not develop as no
direct Incriminating evidence attalnst
him was obtained. It is be'le.'ed how
ever that he has by no muis disclosed
all he knows.
The detectives were pressed for
fresh clew when they decide 1 to take
Leary out of the place where he Uved
He steadfastly had maintained that he
could neither read nor write and was
therefore unable to tell tne street rum
ber of his abode. But lie piloted the
officers to the lodging house. The land

movements during the early part of last
week and said that h-5 had not teen

When the prisoner wai confronted
with tWs statement and requested to
explain where he had b 'en he admitted
after some reluctance that he was at
Mrs.rowers andjubsquently went into
full details. The confession came some
what as a surprise to the pUlce who
were Inclined to the belief that he was
not the sort of man to be mixed up
In an affair of the kind. Mrs. Bowers
when confronted with the statement
of Leary was taken completely aback
for the moment but finally adm'tted it

GREEK, ANGLICAN CHURCHES
Question of Their Unionizing Dis
cussed by Press .
St. Petersburg, august 6. (Corres
pondence of The Associated Press.)
The Novoe Vremya In its Issue today
contains the following statement, re
garding the question of the union of
the Orthodox and Angellcan churches:
"On the 6th day of August theRev.Dr.
Dawllng.canon of the Anglican church
es at Jerusalem, paid a visit to the
Rev. Alex Exarch of Georgia, Caucus,
and Btated . to him that , he ha4 been
working for 12 years to s ;oure a favor
able solution of the question of . the
union of the two churches. He said
that a translation was now being made
Into Russian of the answers of the An
gellcan church to the seven confes
sional questions proposed by the Greek
Orthodox church to ihe Anelicans. at
the conference of 1.S99, nt ('onstatlnopte.
This document will be of cn official
character. A translation of the An
glican prayer book la also being made
Into the Greek language.
"Dr. Dawllng said that in 169J a great
number of Orthodox 'iiveiis were In
Melbourne Australia, w'.'licut a priest
and that Oherassill, Patriarch of Je
rusalem, authorized an Anglifn pr'est
to perform sacrament for the Oiecks,
baptism, etc., but that whn hl be
came known to the ether pariarchs of
the east they blamed the authorization
given by parlarch Gherasrlll and a
Greek priest arriving tntir at Mel
bourne, rebaptl.l unew those who al
ready had been baptized by Anglican
priests.
"It would be extr.m:ly disst.utiful
to its, ' concluded Dr. Dawllng, "if re
baptist' sho-'V, be con't:erel a condi
tion Sin 3u.i Nn i'. UH.UI1."
The Exarcn reasejic.1 Mr. Pawling,
telling him that such a practice was
strange to the Russian church and that
it would not be difficult to agree about
It with the Greeks and win them over.
The Right Rev. Tikhon, Russian
Orthodox Bishop of North America and
the Aleutian Islands, who was called
to St. Petersburg to attend the Holy
Synod, was present at this conversa
tion and said that on the return of the
president of the Holy Synod the Most
Itev. Metropolitan Anthony to St Pet
ersburg, a special committee would be
apponted by the Holy Synod for the
study of the question of the union of
the Orthodox and Anglican churches.
The Exarch Alexy displayed the great
est Interest In Dr. Dawllng and his
work and expressed the conviction,
that with the aid of the Most Rev.
Metropolitan Anthony, the question
could be brought to a successful is
sue. But among the obstacles the Ex
arch pointed out the suspiciousness of
the lower classes towards heterodox
confessions.
"Between us." said the Exarch, "we
can easily arrive at an understanding.
That Is the problem with which we
must deal in order that union may not
be followed by a new disunion.''
Dr. Dawllng was evidently satisfied
with his conference with Exarch Alexy
and Bishop Tikhon.
SMART SET
IS ROASTED
New York Preacher Rather Se
vere on Foibles of the
Idle Rich
CLASSES THEM WITH IDIOTS
Action Are Pestilent to Demo
cratic America and Must
lte Eradicated
New York, August 31. -In a wrmon
at ihe church of the Epiphany on "The
Sins and Follies of Fashion," the Itev.
Dean Richmond has made an appeal
for Christian earnestness and dignity
as a corrective to the abuses of fashion
in various circles of society, and criti
cised severely many of the reported do
ings of the so-called "smart set in
America." -
"I am more and more convinced
he said, "that we of the clergy must
preach clearly, pointedly, as forcefully
as possible, to the sins and follies of
the times, dwell less on the exodus of
the Israelites from Egypt and more on
otie exodus of Christian virtues from
American life. -
"Each one of us is the keeper of Chris
tlan morals and public opinion to the
extent of our social abilities and in
fluence in it Is Just as necessary for
each of us to carry out reforms in
ourselves and neighbors, if possible as
It would be to' reform the -entire na
tion, which is Impossible.
, "There are many ways to look tit the
selllsh, wasteful Indecorous, baleful
and often inane class of the fo-called
"smart set," who seem to make a cru
sade to get their peculiar social antics
In the newspapers as enthusiasts impale
butterflies for exhibition In a museum.
The senseless class In the public Imi
tate them, the sober thinking class have
a pitying contempt for them, the earn
est Christians blush for them, the pa
triotic American abhors tnem and the
genuine aristocracy of America and
Europe laugh at them. Their example
Is pestilent to democratic Amerlca,their
antics a violation of all normal sanity,
their moral standard reprehensible . at
the bar of Christian morals, their lives
with all their false glitter and brilliant
frippery, are a personal degradation to
themselves and make a rapid .descent
into that avernus of the senses where
lie buried all the best and ehoicest of
human aspirations."
